WITH all the media focus on "Rising China," another side of China gets far less attention. Call it "the other China," the bulk of the country's population that hasn't fully shared in the astonishing economic boom of the last 30 years that has transformed the country. I'll be looking at "the other China" as part of a two-week Gatekeepers Editors' Trip to China sponsored by the International Reporting Project at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. We'll be traveling to rural areas in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. We'll be looking at China's urban-rural divide, at the pressing environmental and health issues the country faces. We'll also be examining the economic challenges China must confront if it is to close its rising gap between rich and poor - and m...
Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on January 13, 2012, page 2072, and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October ...

In September 2010, the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) completed the first phase of a project that will influence global standards setting for many years to come. Having a conceptual framework eliminates the need for a standards setter, such as the FASB or the IASB, to reestablish core concepts each time it develops or updates a standard. Additionally, by consistently referring to a stable conceptual framework, a standards setter is more likely to promulgate standards that are consistent with each other as well as with significant assumptions and constraints. The conceptual framework of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is documented in a series of Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts issued by the F...

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), together with the International Accounting Standards Board, has embarked on a project to rebuild the foundations of financial reporting by revising the Conceptual Framework. The Conceptual Framework is like a constitution for financial reporting, providing the foundation for standards. The Conceptual Framework provides structure to the process of creating financial reporting standards and ensures that standards are based on fundamental principles. The project to revise the Conceptual Framework will involve the examination of the foundations of financial reporting and, indeed, accounting itself. The existing Conceptual Framework was written by FASB in the 1970s and 1980s. When issued, it represented a significant advancement of accounting ...

This spring, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued for public comment an exposure draft, "Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: The Objective of Financial Reporting and Qualitative Characteristics and Constraints of Decision-Useful Financial Reporting Information." The statement is part of a joint project of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to improve upon -- as well as to bring about -- convergence of their respective existing conceptual frameworks. The Conceptual Framework provides the foundation upon which all financial reporting guidance will be based. Thus, the importance of a sound, internally consistent, and instructive conceptual framework cannot be overstated. The FASB has chosen to emphasize capital providers as the primary tar...
S. newspaper coverage of international events is declining faster than any other subject, with reporting on international news down to 10.7% of the news hole so far this year. A Project for Excellence in Journalism study finds that fully 64% of participating newspaper editors report their papers are giving less space to non- U.S. news, and 46% say they are devoting fewer reporting and editing resources to the subject. Yet some foreign events still make headlines. The Daily Number is a statistic, updated every weekday and typically drawn from Pew Research Center project findings, that highlights an important trend.

KUNMING, China - Late last year, HIV-AIDS activist Thomas Cai was suddenly summoned to appear the next day at a mysterious meeting in Beijing. Cai is the founder and director of the well-known nongovernmental organization AIDS Care China - one of the first civil society groups to provide support for AIDS sufferers and their families. He had no idea whom he would be meeting in the Chinese capital. To his total surprise, he and 11 other scientists were ushered in to meet with President Hu Jintao.

For any financial report to be meaningful, the entity whose economic activities are being reported must be clearly identified. Because the reporting entity concept is so fundamental to financial reporting, standards such as US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) contain guidance on identifying entities for which financial statements should be prepared. In conjunction with their ongoing efforts to converge US GAAP and IFRS at the standard level, the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) are developing a common conceptual framework that will be the foundation of future converged standards. On Mar 11, 2010, the Boards reached a key milestone in their joint con...
