I picked this blog from Tick Marks because he is an accountant at a college and he gives advice for future accountants. Plus he talks about things recents issues in acoounting. In one of his blogs he talks about the new rules in auditing. In another blog he talks about where the taxs return stands and on how the IRS comments on it. He takes notes on researching current issues. My favorite one is where he give 20 tips on taxes and what you should do. He knows what he is talking about and does research on his topics so he gets his facts right. Plus he writes updates on current events that is going on in the business world. Most of his blogs are just recent and its always good to be updated on with recent events.

The article i picked is from the new york times and is called "SEC Restricts Short Selling and Addresses a Global Accounting Shift" by Norris Floyd. In this article it talks about the commission hopes to approve the switchof American companies to international accounting standards by 2011. This article will help because it talks about a current issue that is going on in the world today. It also helps because it tells me who is involved and who wants the switch to happen and who doesnt want it to happen. It also talks about the new short sales rules on any new stock. It gives me statistics on recent years numbers and tells me if they have gone down or up since then. It talks about the international accounting standards. Also it talks on how the Europe commissions allowed banks in europe to opt out one of the accounting standards. This article gives me quotes of people who either like this change or not and hear how they feel about this accounting issue.
