Devin Hester's son looks like an elusive flag football player

Henry McKenna, For The Win Published 9:18 a.m. ET July 16, 2019

Devin Hester’s son is making his father proud on the football field.

On Instagram on Sunday, Hester shared a video of his son, Dray, who hit the flag football field at the Top 100 Central Florida camp. The youngster looked almost as challenging to track down as his father, the retired Chicago Bears…

Senators to SEC Chair Jay Clayton: What the Hell Is Going On At the PCAOB?

It seems we weren’t the only ones who were disturbed by the Wall Street Journal article last week detailing the dysfunction at the PCAOB under the tremendous leadership of chairman and meetings hater William Duhnke.

In a letter dated Oct. 17 to SEC Chair Jay Clayton, Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Jack Reed (D-RI) called the less-than-ideal culture at the PCAOB, which was detailed in a whistleblower complaint seen by the WSJ, “troubling.” The senators also took a shot at Clayton, writing that “the SEC’s recent oversight of the PCAOB shows questionable judgment and an alarming lack of transparency.”

The three-page letter, which was posted today on the website TheCorporateCounsel.net (h/t to Francine McKenna of MarketWatch), criticized the lack of audit inspection reports the PCAOB has released this year (27% fewer, according to the WSJ) and the lack of a full-time PCAOB enforcement director and general counsel—positions that have been vacant for almost a year and a half.

These positions are critical for the PCAOB’s ability to carry out its mandate. These vacancies hinder the PCAOB’s ability to conduct meaningful oversight and enforcement, and the prolonged vacancies undermine the long-term effectiveness of PCAOB.

Brown and Reed also said the SEC’s recent announcement that commissioner Hester Peirce will lead the agency’s coordination efforts with the PCAOB is a bit of a head-scratcher.

That statement, appended at the end of a separate announcement, is troubling because it displays an alarming lack of transparency and raises the potential of undue influence on the Board of the PCAOB. Although Section 107 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act provides that “the Commission shall have oversight and enforcement authority over the Board,” Congress did not mandate a single SEC Commissioner to have the role of “coordinator”, or for oversight of the PCAOB Board other than by Commission action. Furthermore, Commissioner Peirce was a longtime colleague of current PCAOB Chairman William Duhnke, which also raises questions about her selection for this role.

Huh, I didn’t know about the Duhnke-Peirce connection, but it seems they were both staffers under Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL). Yeah, the senators have a right to be concerned by that. It’s like the Financial Reporting Council in the U.K. using a consulting firm headed by a former KPMGer to investigate why KPMG’s risk management, controls, and the behavior of partners and other employees in its audit practice are so bad.

And speaking of KPMG, the letter of course makes mention of the scandal with the PCAOB, with the senators writing, “Now, more than ever, the PCAOB must enhance its oversight activity, with a particular focus on enforcement.”

The senators want some answers on how things got so bad over at the PCAOB, so they gave Clayton eight questions to answer, including:

When were you first made aware of the whistleblower letter?

Please provide the process for SEC oversight of PCAOB staffing adequacy, including any consideration of the extended vacancy of senior staff positions, such as the general counsel and director of enforcement.

What is the legislative or regulatory authority, if any, for the coordination role you announced last week?

Please describe the responsibilities for the coordination role, the scope of the “coordination efforts”, and how such efforts will improve the “efficiency and effectiveness” of the SEC’s and the PCAOB Board’s oversight of public accounting firms. Also, please explain how such activity will be evaluated and how the full Commission will be involved.

The letter concludes, “We look forward to your response.” Don’t hold your breath, senators.

Your Monday Morning Roundup

Two doinks, one playoff win (and a tip).

My God what a game. The Eagles, who came in with the worst odds to win the Super Bowl and probably still do right now, went into Chicago and battled tough with the Bears defense and did a great job against their offense at times to hold on for a 16-15 win.

But the moment of the night came when Cody Parkey had his 43-yard field goal tipped by Treyvon Hester. Who would’ve thought a guy named Hester would make a play in Chicago in 2019 playoff game?

The locker room celebration was lit, and people even sent Parkey money via Venmo (we think it’s the real Cody Parkey). Incredible.

Up next is a rematch with the Saints on Sunday in New Orleans. The Birds are heavy underdogs, which isn’t a surprise. But we get another week of Eagles football and hype videos. Go Eagles.

Before we continue, a word from our sponsors:

Legal. Check out Krasno, Krasno and Onwudinjo when you need a workers’ compensation or social security attorney.

Shirts and more. Get ready for what hopefully is another deep playoff run. Shop now.

The Roundup:

The Sixers had an eventful weekend as well. The biggest story came on Sunday when the Sixers waived Demetrius Jackson. He’s accepting a deal in China.

But also, Woj and Ramona Shelburne released a story Friday afternoon that detailed Jimmy Butler “aggressively challenging” Brett Brown on his role. Brown confirmed what happened in a film session but downplayed the severity of the situation, which was what it felt like after reading the post.

As for the on-court product, the Sixers held on to beat the Mavericks 106-100 despite leading by as much as 19 in the fourth quarter. Ben Simmons had another triple-double with 20 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists. Joel Embiid had another double-double with 25 points and 12 boards, JJ Redick had 20 points, and Jimmy Butler missed the game due to an upper respiratory infection.

The Sixers start a back-to-back home-and-home with the Wizards on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

The Flyers continue to suck. They gave up a 2-1 lead to the Calgary Flames and lost 3-2 in overtime. Carter Hart still hasn’t won a game since winning his first two in the NHL.

Hart started because – you wouldn’t believe this – Michal Neuvirth got hurt. So the team claimed Mike McKenna off waivers. He was just traded from Ottawa to Vancouver on Wednesday!

They host the Blues tonight at 7 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

In college hoops:

Villanova held on to beat Providence 65-59 despite a long scoring drought

Temple defeated Wichita State 85-81 in overtime

La Salle opened A10 play with a 69-60 win over UMass

Princeton edged Penn 68-65 in overtime

George Washington used a big second half to beat St. Joe’s 70-56

William & Mary crushed Drexel 84-66

In other sports news, the Minnesota Timberwolves fired Tom Thibodeau as president and head coach.

Stephen A. Smith trolled Cowboys fans again. They ended up edging the Seahawks 24-22. Meanwhile in the AFC, the Colts and Chargers both won.

We have some sports resolutions.

In the news, the federal government is still shut down.

The Golden Globes were last night.

Arbroath stun County & Dunfermline hammer Brechin in League Cup

Dunfermline’s 7-1 win away to Brechin City put them firmly in the driving seat in League Cup Group D.

The Fifers are three points clear of Dundee, despite goals by Kharl Madianga and Jean Mendy giving the Premiership side a 2-0 win at Peterhead.

Ross County’s hopes of qualification hang in the balance after a 4-1 defeat at Arbroath.

And Forfar beat Montrose 3-1 to stay alive in Group B, though they need to beat St Johnstone at home on Saturday.

Miles Hippolyte, Faissal El Bakhtaoui and Andy Ryan all scored doubles as Championship side Dunfermline made it three wins from three.

A point at home to Stirling Albion on Saturday will ensure their place in the last 16.

Billy McKay’s goal had County ahead away to Arbroath, but after Tony Dingwall’s red card on 57 minutes things turned sour for the Highlanders.

Michael McKenna’s double either side of that dismissal was added to by Colin Hamilton and Kane Hester for the League One club.

That means Alloa need only avoid defeat at home to County on Saturday to win the group. However, a win for the Highlanders would clinch the section for them.

#SayHerName

AAPF - African American Policy Forum

http://www.aapf.org/sayhername

AAPF launched the #SayHerName campaign for Black women and girls who were killed by police and other forms of violence.

Fill The Void. Lift Your Voice.

Say Her Name.

#SayHerName: How Transgender Women Are Memorialized Online

Centered on feminism & women of the African Diaspora

https://www.blackfeminisms.com/transgender

The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence that year and began an important memorial that has become the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance

“Citizen participation in the media, or contribution of user generated content or ‘citizen journalism’ as it’s commonly known is a growing phenomenon in some ways. Its benefits are that audiences witnessing incidents can post eyewitness accounts on the Internet as soon as they happen or send a report and photos to the media. Citizen journalism also dwells a lot on analysis and debate of issues and stories appearing in mainstream media. Unlike journalists in the mainstream media, citizen journalists can be anonymous contributors with no journalism training.”

Black Lives Matter | Say Her Name

http://sayhername.blacklivesmatter.com

Use #SayHerName to honor women and femmes who have been taken from us by state or intimate partner violence.

As part of the national #SayHerName day of action, we are asking folks to participate in lifting up women and femmes who are no longer with us, and/or those who inspire us in our everyday lives. Upload an image, graphic or photograph of someone you want to lift up, using either #SayHerName for those who have been taken from us and #InHerHonor for those who are still with us or passed from natural causes.

#SayHerName Use #SayHerName to honor women and femmes who have been taken from us by state or intimate partner violence

#InHerHonor Use #InHerHonor to lift up women and femmes in our everyday lives who are fighting and thriving in the face of adversity or who died from natural causes.

#SayHerName

AAPF - African American Policy Forum

It is for these Black women and girls that the African American Policy Forum launched the #SayHerName campaign. On May 20th, 2015, the African American Policy Forum, the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia Law School, and over twenty local sponsoring organizations hosted #SayHerName: A Vigil in Memory of Black Women and Girls Killed by the Police at Union Square in New York City. Family members of Black women killed by police from across the country came together for the first time in a powerful vigil designed to uplift their loved ones' stories. The family members of Alberta Spruill, Rekia Boyd, Shantel Davis, Shelley Frey, Kayla Moore, Kyam Livingston, Miriam Carey, Michelle Cusseaux, and Tanisha Anderson were present and supported by hundreds of attendees, activists, and stakeholders.

The work of #SayHerName continues. Including Black women and girls in this discourse sends the powerful message that indeed all Black lives matter. If our collective outrage around cases of police violence is meant to serve as a warning to the state that its agents cannot kill without consequence, our silence around the cases of Black women and girls sends the message that certain deaths do not merit repercussions. Please join us in our efforts to advance a gender-inclusive narrative in the movement for Black lives.

In an effort to continue to call attention to violence against Black women in the U.S., the African American Policy Forum, the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia Law School, and Andrea Ritchie, Soros Justice Fellow and expert on policing of women and LGBT people of color, issued in May 2015 a brief entitled “Say Her Name: Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women.”

Say Her Name documents stories of Black women who have been killed by police, shining a spotlight on forms of police brutality often experienced disproportionately by women of color. In addition to stories of Black women who have been killed by police and who have experienced gender-specific forms of police violence, Say Her Name provides some analytical frames for understanding their experiences and broadens dominant conceptions of who experiences state violence and what it looks like. The brief concludes with recommendations for engaging communities in conversation and advocacy around Black women’s experiences of police violence, considering race and gender in policy initiatives to combat state violence, and adopting policies to end sexual abuse and harassment by police officers.

Black women are outnumbered by White women 5:1 in the United States, yet are killed by police in nearly the same numbers.

On August 1st, Korryn Gaines became one of those women. Shot and killed after an hours long standoff with Baltimore County police, Gaines became the ninth Black woman killed by police in just the first eight months of 2016. Jessica Williams, whose death garnered little media attention despite forcing SFPD chief, Greg Suhr, to resign, was shot while driving a presumed stolen car. She was unarmed and seems to have been fleeing from the officer when she was killed, yet she was still declared a threat to the officer’s safety, legally justifying her death. Similarly, police killed Kisha Michael, “a great mother” of three, even though she posed no obvious threat. Michael was found sitting in a car unconscious at an intersection in Inglewood CA. After allegedly failing to revive her and finding a gun, the LAPD retreated behind cover and fired several rounds into the car, killing Michael and a man who was with her.

Gynnya McMillen died alone in a Kentucky detention center cell. Formally, declared a tragic accident resulting from a rare, and undiscovered, heart condition, McMillen, only 16, was found dead after just one night at the Lincoln Village Juvenile Detention Center. However, in that one night she was tackled and pinned for over four minutes after she refused to take off her sweatshirt during a search. She was also placed in a cell alone and then largely forgotten about despite being notably unresponsive, a strong warning sign that something was not right. In the morning, Gynnya McMillen lay dead. It is frighteningly unclear whether anyone will face charges for the deaths of these women and the five others killed, but what is clear is that, particularly when compared to their male counterparts, little is known or said about stories and lives of these women.

This is nothing new. In 2015 alone, at least six Black women were killed by or after encounters with police.

Just before Freddie Gray’s case grabbed national attention, police killed unarmed Mya Hall—a Black transgender woman—on the outskirts of Baltimore. Alleged to be driving a stolen car, Hall took a wrong turn onto NSA property and was shot to death by officers after the car crashed into the security gate and a police cruiser. No action has been taken to date with respect to the officers responsible for her death. In April, police fatally shot Alexia Christian while she was being handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser. And in March in Ventura, California, police officers shot and killed Meagan Hockaday—a young mother of three—within 20 seconds of entering her home in response to a domestic disturbance.

Sandra Bland, the 28-year old Black woman from Naperville, Illinois who was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a traffic stop in Waller County, Texas on July 10 and was found dead in a jail cell three days later, is yet another victim of police brutality against African American women. And the six officers who swarmed and tasered Natasha McKenna to death in a Fairfax County Jail will face no criminal charges for their actions.

#SayHerName: How Transgender Women Are Memorialized Online

Transgender people, in particular transgender women of color, become targets of violence due to stigma about non-binary gender identities.

Mainstream media generally fails to bring attention to this violence. Social media, however, has been a significant platform for uplifting and memorializing transgender people who lose their lives.

For instance, when I looked at hashtags associated with #SayHerName between late January and October, I found that at least 21 transgender women named in corresponding hashtags. The majority of these women were victims of homicide. One had died in police custody and another was missing.

Yet, when I went to correspond the name of victims with news accounts, I most often found that independent media or bloggers were the only ones to report on this violence. This suggests to me that citizen journalism2 is particularly significant in highlighting violence against transgender women of color.

Most of these independent media and bloggers were platforms meant to uplift women of color, Black women in particular. For instance, BlackGirlTragic.Com consistently provided information not only about Black women who lost their lives to violence but also girls and non-Black women of color. Furthermore, they bring attention to violence that women face throughout the Diaspora, rather than the United States alone.

BlackGirlTragic.com exemplifies these platforms in that they are intentional about their mission to uplift Black women:

This site arose from a need to disrupt the traditional 24/7 news cycle, which focuses on one crisis and moves to another. Our goal at Black Girl Tragic is to highlight the discrimination, abuse, mistreatment, unfairness and tragedy inflicted upon women of color throughout the diaspora. 3

Black women use social media to act as citizen journalists, subverting the barriers of traditional institutions of media and journalism through the use of digital technology. Transgender Black women, then, are memorialized as a labor of love by Black women who see themselves as capable of making change by taking their message to the digital sphere.

The SEC Got Rid of the Only PCAOB Member Not Drinking the William Duhnke Kool-Aid

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is the current state of your PCAOB under the leadership of William Duhnke, according to the Wall Street Journal:

A watchdog tasked with protecting investors by policing audits of public companies has slowed its work amid board infighting, multiple senior staff departures, and allegations that the chairman has created a “sense of fear,” according to a whistleblower letter and people familiar with the situation.

But before we get into today’s revelations by the WSJ, let’s go back to last Friday, the day that ex-PCAOB inspections leader Jeffrey Wada was sentenced to nine months in prison for leaking confidential audit inspection information to KPMG executives in 2016 and 2017—the scandal that turned the PCAOB into the shit-show it has become.

Kathleen Hamm

That afternoon, the SEC announced that Kathleen Hamm, a cybersecurity expert who Bloomberg described as a “Democrat-aligned board member,” wouldn’t retain her seat on the PCAOB for a second term. Instead, the SEC appointed Rebekah Goshorn Jurata, a White House economic policy aide, to replace Hamm, effective Oct. 24.

In addition, the SEC announced that commissioner Hester Peirce will lead the agency’s coordination efforts with the PCAOB. This is how bad things have gotten at the PCAOB when the SEC needs an intermediary to report back on what the hell the PCAOB is or isn’t doing.

Compliance expert Matt Kelly wrote on his blog, Radical Compliance, that Peirce is an outspoken proponent of rolling back compliance with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

I mean, Peirce would also probably try to make compliance with all federal securities law optional if she could do it, but 404(b) is one of her fave targets.

Poor Kathleen Hamm really wanted to stay on the PCAOB for another term, but you figured the writing was on the wall when the SEC posted for her board seat over the summer, as Francine McKenna of MarketWatch reported last month:

Hamm stepped into a term in 2018 that had approximately two years remaining, expiring this October. She is eligible for reappointment to the second five-year term, through 2024, but now she’s had to reapply for her job and no one is saying why.

Well, apparently Hamm and Duhnke weren’t seeing eye to eye on policy issues, according to Bloomberg:

Hamm, who joined the PCAOB in January 2018 to complete a partial term, has had policy disagreements with Chairman William Duhnke III, according to people familiar with the matter. She resisted Duhnke’s efforts to eliminate or severely cut back an investor advisory committee, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss internal matters at the board.

Rebekah Goshorn Jurata

The lack of PCAOB Investor Advisory Group and Standing Advisory Group meetings of late is something else Francine wrote about last month. She noted that neither committee has held a meeting this year. And she also reported that the PCAOB has held no public meetings of its governing board since Dec. 20, 2018, which is in violation of Sarbanes-Oxley Act bylaws that require the PCAOB to hold at least one public meeting of its governing board each calendar quarter. We assumed this was because Duhnke hates meetings as much as Adrienne and I do.

Back to Bloomberg:

Others who follow the PCAOB closely also noted that until [SEC Chairman Jay] Clayton and the other SEC commissioners decided to replace the entire five-person board last year, members were regularly re-upped. As recently as last year, the SEC decided to give a second term to another current board member, Duane DesParte. His policy views are more closely aligned with Duhnke’s than Hamm, the people said.

So the SEC got rid of the troublemaker in Hamm and put in Jurata, who began her professional career as a staff attorney in the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets and was special assistant to the president for financial policy at the National Economic Council, because she won’t make waves under the Republican leadership of Clayton and Duhnke.

And it just so happens that Jurata worked most recently for Andrew Olmem, a White House official who worked under Duhnke when the two men served on the Republican staff of the Senate Banking Committee, the WSJ noted. Before taking over as PCAOB chairman in January 2018, Duhnke served as staff director for the Senate Banking Committee under Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL).

It’s all about politics, man, as Kelly noted in his blog:

Now we have Jurata as one more loyalist vote on the PCAOB, and libertarian Peirce watching the whole board like a schoolmarm who reads too much Ayn Rand. That leaves Clayton in excellent position to weaken 404(b) audits like he wants, because he can also orchestrate the PCAOB’s oversight of audit firms to go easy on SOX auditing. …

It’s a nifty power grab on Clayton’s part. Then again, as I’ve said before, he undoubtedly feels the heat to get his agenda done before President Trump implodes in impeachment or gets tossed from office next year. Gotta make hay while the sun shines, even if you toss good PCAOB members over the side to do it.

Remember what happened shortly after the SEC cleaned house at the PCAOB in early January 2018 and appointed Duhnke as chairman and appointed Hamm, DesParte, and three others to replace all the incumbents on the board? Longtime high-ranking PCAOB officials started leaving en masse: Martin Baumann, chief auditor and director of professional standards; Helen Munter, director of registration and inspections; Claudius Modesti, director of the PCAOB’s Division of Enforcement and Investigations; and Gordon Seymour, general counsel; among others, headed for the exits.

Today, the WSJ revealed that an eight-page whistleblower complaint—written by a group of current and former PCAOB employees—was filed with the board in May and also sent to SEC commissioners in August. According to the WSJ, Seymour and Baumann were among the executives who signed the letter:

Within months of arriving, Mr. Duhnke began pushing out longtime senior executives, according to the whistleblower letter and people familiar with the matter. The former executives, who included the board’s general counsel and its director of inspections, agreed to sign nondisparagement agreements in exchange for six months of continued compensation, the people said. …

The whistleblower letter said the regulator “is permeated by a sense of fear,” due to “the numerous terminations … [some] driven by retaliation.”

Lovely.

And to top it all off, the PCAOB hasn’t had a permanent general counsel or enforcement director for 16 months, which is probably why it has issued 27% fewer audit inspection reports this year, the WSJ reported. The board’s website shows around 50 permanent roles need to be filled, out of about 850, and Duhnke has clashed with other board members over hiring choices, according to the WSJ.

What a freakin’ mess.
