Bethany Holewinski was introduced in August to a robotics program through a workshop at Perrysburg High School.
By October, the Perrysburg High School science teacher, a few colleagues, and a group of 12 to 21 Perrysburg students were staying after school to work on their robot and project for the Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology Robotics competition. During the first six weeks of preparations, the team met once or twice a week for a hour. During the final three weeks, their daily after-school sessions ran two to three hours.
"It was something different," junior Kayla Piezer said. "We were trying to build something and complete a task while actually applying ourselves."
Sophomore Sean Dunphy said they started having fun. After a certain point, the group wanted to be sure it had something "to show off" at the Falcon BEST robotics contest Oct. 26 at Bowling Green State University's Anderson Arena.
Competing against 13 teams from other northwest Ohio schools, Perrysburg Creative Processing Unlimited placed second to Vanguard Technical Center of Fremont. A team representing the Sylvania schools finished third in the BEST awards.
"It was fun with the people and idea of completing a robot," junior Eunice Park said. "And we wanted to win. We're the first ones to do this here, and we want to leave a legacy."
Perrysburg students said they were as nervous as if they were at a football game. Their robot had to pick up items, put them in certain place, and spin and move around under a time limit. The team's marketing group developed a company brand and pitched it to judges.
Second place qualified the team for a regional competition in North Dakota, but the group didn't raise enough money for the trip.
Mrs. Holewinski said a robotics club may be starting soon.
"It was great to see," she said. "The students really took over the project, and that was the point."
Mrs. Holewinski said students posted on the group's blog in the middle of the night, reminding peers to bring supplies or work from home.
She said she was shocked that after the six-week project ended, students wanted to meet the next Monday to talk about what they did well and what they needed to improve next year.
Next year, the Perrysburg robot-builders will look to finish better than second. The core group of mostly sophomores and juniors already is contemplating how it can raise enough money for the regional event.
"It is a different motivation," said Perrysburg teacher Nate Ash, who guided the group. "No one is happy with second."

NIJ's field research focuses on the co-occurrence of child abuse and intimate partner violence and whether children who are physically and sexually abused often turn toward criminal activity as adults. On this page:
Child maltreatment and domestic violence often co-occur. The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) is a nationally recognized probability study of more than 5,000 children ages 0 to 14 who have been abused or maltreated. An NIJ-funded supplemental survey to NSCAW, called the Family Violence Services Study (FVSS), examined the services provided to children and families who face abuse and maltreatment. The FVSS found the following:
In response to the low rates of service provision, FVSS researchers developed 19 recommendations for helping child welfare agencies assess child maltreatment cases and coordinate response.[1]
To read the 19 recommendations, see
Appendix 3 of Co-Occurring Intimate Partner Violence and Child Maltreatment: Local Policies/Practices and Relationships to Child Placement, Family Services and Residence (pdf, 31 pages).
In 1999, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges published
Effective Intervention in Domestic Violence and Child Maltreatment Cases: Guidelines for Policy and Practice, more commonly known as "the Greenbook" because of its green cover. A roadmap for collaboration, the Greenbook presents guidelines designed to "eliminate or decrease the risks that battered mothers, caseworkers, and judges must take on behalf of children".[2]
NIJ and three agencies under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conducted an evaluation of a 5-year demonstration project called the Greenbook Initiative. The Greenbook Initiative provides a framework for helping families that are experiencing both child maltreatment and domestic or intimate partner violence. A collaborative approach among child welfare agencies, courts, and other parties can enhance family safety and well-being by responding to the entire family rather than an isolated victim.[3]
At six demonstration sites, child welfare agencies, domestic violence service providers and dependency courts worked together to implement guidelines found in the Greenbook. The demonstration sites agreed to establish collaborative structures and develop policies and procedures to enhance the safety and well-being of battered women and their children. The 5-year evaluation showed that collaboration and cross-training between child welfare agencies, domestic violence service providers and dependency courts resulted in some positive changes in practice, collaboration and relationship building. The extent and types of changes varied across the sites and sustaining new practices proved difficult.

PenCommander 2.1
"PenCommander is a great value, consumes a modest amount
of system resources, and is easy to use. That ease of use does
not mean a lack of power though. The scripting language is pretty
powerful and you can construct some very sophisticated automation.
PenCommander is well worth a test drive to see how it can enhance
your productivity and make working on your Tablet PC a more
satisfying experience. Highly recommended."

MOUNT DORA, Fla. — Newt Gingrich on Thursday dramatically ramped up his attacks on Mitt Romney, saying the former Massachusetts governor is guilty of lies, desperation and hypocrisy that should make "every American angry."
Gingrich, the former House speaker, said he was infuriated by a barrage of attack ads that are blistering him on Florida TV stations ahead of Tuesday's GOP presidential primary. Most are funded by an outside organization backing Romney, but some are from Romney's own campaign. Unable to match Romney's money machine, Gingrich implored Florida Republicans to punish his chief rival for what Gingrich called callously dishonest ads.
"This is the desperate last stand of the old order," Gingrich told an outdoor crowd of more than 1,000 northwest of Orlando. "This is the kind of gall they have to think we're so stupid and we're so timid."
The nature and volume of the attack ads are similar to those that badly damaged Gingrich in Iowa a month ago.
"I think all the weight of his negative advertising and all the weight of his dishonesty has hurt us some," Gingrich said. But "I am not going to allow the moneyed interests that are buying those ads to come in here and to come into other states to misinform people and then to think we are too dumb to fight back."
Romney steered clear of his rival during a subsequent campaign appearance.
Gingrich later told reporters he decided to sharpen his criticisms after Romney's tax returns showed investments held in Cayman Island accounts, the government-backed mortgage company Freddie Mac and other entities.
"Here's a guy who owns Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae stock," Gingrich said. "He owns a Goldman Sachs subsidiary, which is foreclosing on Floridians. And on that front he decides to lie about my career? There's something about the hypocrisy that should make every American angry."
Romney has been hammering Gingrich for consulting work he performed for Freddie Mac and telling Florida voters that Gingrich was paid by a company that contributed to the state's poor housing market.
The acerbic remarks came three days after Gingrich took a much more moderate tone in a televised debate in Tampa, when Romney sharpened his own attacks. Gingrich strongly hinted he will be more aggressive in a CNN debate scheduled for Thursday night in Jacksonville.
Romney, meanwhile, toured a Jacksonville factory that is closing because of the economy before he addressed several hundred people gathered outside. He acknowledged that the live audience at Thursday's debate may be fairly raucous, a dynamic that seems to favor Gingrich and his populist, us-against-the-media and us-against-the-establishment style.
"There may be some give and take," Romney said. "That's always fun and entertaining, I know. If you all could get there, we'd love to see you all there cheering."
In his remarks, Romney criticized President Barack Obama and steered clear of Gingrich. He called Obama's administration a "Groundhog Day" presidency in which nothing gets better.
Polls suggest the Florida primary is close, coming 10 days after Gingrich beat Romney by 12 percentage points in South Carolina. Asked if he felt Florida was slipping toward Romney, Gingrich said, "I feel that it's useful for people to look at the totality of his record and ask yourself, 'How can a guy who literally owns stock in a Goldman Sachs investment fund that forecloses on Floridians run the ads he's been running?'"
Goldman Sachs employees and their families contributed $367,200 to Romney's campaign through Sept. 30, his largest source of campaign contributions, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul also were participating in Thursday's debate, the final one before the GOP presidential primary in Florida on Tuesday. But both candidates have set their sights elsewhere and have largely stayed away from the Romney-Gingrich drama.
Whoever wins Florida will score something no one has yet claimed in a tumultuous primary season: a second victory. The first three contests have been won by three different candidates. Only Paul has yet to score a win.
The hits for Romney and Gingrich were coming from many directions.
The "super" political action committees backing them have spent more than $10 million combined on ads to date in Florida, far more than their respective campaigns. The Romney-leaning Restore Our Future has spent $8.8 million in ads as of late Tuesday, bringing to $14 million the total spent on ads supporting Romney in the state. That doesn't include money already spent on radio and Internet advertising.
As of late Tuesday, the Gingrich-backing Winning Our Future had booked $1.8 million in television ads in Florida, a check made possible by a new donation from Miriam Adelson. She and her husband, Sheldon, this month gave $5 million apiece to the group, which supports Gingrich but legally must remain independent.
Santorum, meanwhile, seemed to be recognizing that he stood almost no chance of winning Florida. He and his advisers planned no advertising in the state and instead were focused on raising money and calling potential supporters in upcoming states. He all but gave up trying to woo a network of pastors and was scaling back his schedule in Florida.
Chuck Laudner, an influential adviser who helped Santorum score an upset victory in the Iowa caucuses, was returning to the Midwest to start piecing together coalitions in Missouri and Minnesota. Both states have media markets that overlap with Iowa, where Santorum proved to be the big story.
Paul, virtually absent from Florida except for appearances built around the debates, was concentrating instead on caucus states where his loyal backers can carry a louder voice.
Associated Press writers Charles Babington, Philip Elliott, Kasie Hunt and David Espo in Florida contributed to this report. Jack Gillum contributed from Washington.

Many thought Ricky Burns was lucky to escape with a draw against Mexican-American challenger Raymundo Beltran in Glasgow on September 7th. The WBO Lightweight champion was dropped in 7th round and sustained a broken jaw during the fight.
Beltran appeared to have done better work over the course of the 12 rounds and seemed very unfortunate not a gain the decision and the world title strap. Beltran, although vocal about the decision was gracious in defeat.
Burns, 36-2-1 with 11ko's has publicly stated that he wishes to rematch Beltran as he feels its the correct thing to do, talking to BBC Sport Scotland he said;
"I think it's only right to fight Raymundo again," Burns said. "I think it's the fight the fans want to see. My jaw is on the mend. It's healing the way it should. I've been doing light training and hopefully I'll be back boxing in five to six weeks. I think people know that wasn't the real me in that ring. I was in survival mode from the second round. I wouldn't say it crossed my mind that I would never fight again but I was thinking, 'is the same thing going to reoccur?
Whether this fight happens though remains to be seen, although Beltran would no doubt jump at the chance to fight Burns again, he would have to travel to Scotland again to do so. Also, Burns's mandatory contender, Terrance Crawford may push the WBO for his shot ahead of a Beltran return.
Burns' promoter, Eddie Hearn commented;
"I think he [Beltran] deserves his shot and, more importantly, Ricky wants to put the record straight," Hearn said. "The key now is the rehabilitation of Ricky Burns. We can't rush things. We really won't know until he is back sparring, taking blows on that jaw again."

OUPD officers are preparing the campus for an active shooter situation
Photo courtesy of: Ohio University Police Department
Apr 23, 2014
By Erica Molfetto
This year, the Ohio University Police Department was awarded the Silver Telly Award for its informational video titled, "ALiCE: Responding to an Armed Intruder."
ALiCE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) is a set of proactive strategies that increase chances of survival during an armed intruder event.
The video was made in order to increase awareness of the ALiCE program. It also offers the community insight about how to handle an active shooter on the Athens Campus and provides tips on how students can take control of this type of emergency.
According to OUPD Lt. Tim Ryan, "having a short video clip that summarized ALiCE seemed like a good solution. The video is proudly placed on our homepage with instructions on how to get in touch with OUPD to schedule a training session."
OUPD offers free ALiCE training sessions throughout the year to help prepare the community for an active shooter.
The OUPD officers worked in conjunction with University Communications and Marketing to produce the 2013 video. OUPD officers wrote the script and provided the police personnel to act in the video.
"The actual production of the video was completed by UCM. They did a phenomenal job – we couldn't be happier with it," Ryan said. "We are hoping that winning this award will increase the video's exposure and help raise awareness about the importance of ALiCE training."
Mike Zorbas, a graduate of Ohio University, was a key component in the production of the video. He held a PACE position in UCM before accepting an internship with the Miss Universe Pageant as a senior.
UCM Director of Video and Photography Services David Urano said, "While Mike worked for us, he produced several projects for UCM and university clients. He previously won a DV Award for a short video he pitched to us called 'The Ohio University Running Club.'"
In order to celebrate the Silver Telly Award, OUPD bought a duplicate statue to place in their lobby. The statue is expected to be delivered this spring.

Kayali, Marvin and Raymond Earn Points
PRINCETON, N.J. – The Bulldogs picked up nine points on the final day of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championships thanks to an outstanding showing by its distance runners. Three runners scored, and Yale finished 31st overall on the merit of their performances.
Junior Nihal Kayali and sophomore Melissa Chapman advanced to the finals of the 1500-meter run by placing fourth and 11th, respectively, in yesterday's prelims. Chapman's qualifying time of 4:28.57 was a personal record. In Sunday's race, Kayali ran a season-best time (4:23.65) and earned three points along with All-East accolades for her sixth-place result. Chapman was 11th again in 4:33.62.
Meanwhile, three Bulldogs earned spots in the finals of the 3000-meter run. Junior Elizabeth Marvin ran a season-best 9:39.80 to take fifth and pick up four points for Yale. Senior Lindsey Raymond added two more points with her seventh-place finish in a season-best 9:49.47. Freshman Kira Garry finished one spot out of the scoring, placing ninth with another season best of 9:57.17.
Chapman (5000-meter run), Garry (3000-meter steeplechase), Kayali (1500-meter run), Marvin (5000- and 10,000-meter runs) and Raymond (10,000-meter run) are all qualifiers for the NCAA East Regional meet in Jacksonville, Fla. in two weeks, along with pole vaulter Emily Urciuoli.

"Countries in all continents should become parties to the Arms Trade Treaty. Countries both big and small, major arms producing states and developing countries alike should all ratify the Treaty," Minister for Foreign Affairs Erkki Tuomioja appealed at the High Level Event held at the UN, where the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) and measures to promote its entry into force were being discussed.
Together with Argentina, Australia, Costa Rica, Japan, Kenya and the United Kingdom, Finland is one of the initiators of the Arms Trade Treaty process. Finland has taken an active part in the negotiations about the Treaty from their start seven years ago.
"The Treaty is the first ever binding instrument to regulate international transfers of conventional arms," Tuomioja pointed out when speaking on behalf of all seven co-authors in New York. With regard to arms transfers, the Treaty includes robust criteria based on human rights and international humanitarian law, which are to be adhered to in the licensing of conventional arms. The Treaty encompasses conventional arms intended for military use, as well as small arms and light weapons, ammunition, parts and components.
"We all know that unregulated access to arms has caused worldwide human suffering. This Treaty will have an impact on the lives of millions of people; men, women and children," Tuomioja stated. The ATT is the first treaty that specifically mentions gender-based violence as a threat that must be taken into account when arms exports are evaluated.
"It does not suffice that we have adopted the Treaty text. The ATT should enter into force as soon as possible. We are pleased to note that already 107 states have signed the Treaty and six have ratified it," Minister Tuomioja said. Secretary of State John Kerry signed the Treaty for the United States in New York on Wednesday.
Finland was among the first countries to sign the Treaty on 3 June 2013. The Finnish Parliament will debate the ratification of the Treaty during this autumn session. Thereafter, the intention is to apply temporary licensing criteria pertaining to arms transfers before the Treaty enters into force internationally.
All EU Member States strive to bring the Arms Trade Treaty into force as soon as possible and to promote the international entry into force of the Treaty. Finland stresses the importance of the Treaty and underlines the alleviation of the negative consequences of irresponsible arms trade for the civilian population, especially women and children.

Twenty Boy Summer: One of the few contemporary books I've read this year and I'm a fan of Ockler's already. Definitely going to have to check out the rest of her work.
The Girl Who Played With Fire: I loved The Hunger Games and it was a joy reading what others thought of these books.
The Dark Divine: Read this because a friend of my recommended it. Couldn't be happier with the story. I loved it and I need to read The Lost Saint and The Savage Grace.
Such a Pretty Girl: Another book recommended by a friend, and it was incredible. I can't even...it was just great.
Seduced by the Wolf: One word: Liedolf
Dreaming of the Wolf: The return of dream-mating and Jake. He was delish.
Sleeping in Parking Lots: A wonderful non-fiction book about keeping your faith in God while enduring the struggles of being on the road.
Rage: Jackie is a brilliant writer. Incorporating self-harm into a story like this was brilliant and I can't wait to read Loss!
Hunger: Much like Rage, this first book brought a tough topic to the public in an interesting way. I love the way Jackie brings these things up in her stories.
Shifters series: To be fair, I read the first 2 at the end of 2010, but this is my favorite UF series. It was wonderful. Faythe is a great character. I adored her.
Nightshade: One of the best werewolf books I've read ever. Period.
Fahrenheit 451: I read this for banned books week and I can see why it's considered a classic. I think everyone should read this book at least once. I would hate to live in a world like this were books are burned out of fear. They should be treasured. Always.
Delirium: It's Lauren Oliver. She blew me away with Before I Fall, and Delirium showed me how well she can adjust to a new kind of story. She's an auto buy author.
Darkest Mercy: A fabulous end to an exciting series. Melissa Marr is a wonderful storyteller.
The Dark and Hollow Places: My favorite book of the series. It is so, so wonderful. I loved it.
Angelfire: This was a great book. End of story. Wings of the Wicked cannot come soon enough. It was brilliant.

New In the Den (IMM 23)-Christmas edition
I haven't read any of Maggie Shayne's books so if anyone has let me know how they are.
3 books from an amazing faerie series!
One of my favorite movies as a kid. We only had it on VHS, but now I have it on DVD!
I've seen this movie a couple of times and I liked it, but I never had my own copy. Now I do!
Finally bought this book. It'll be a while before I can get to it, but at least I have it.
Finally bought this one too. A stand-alone Maggie Stiefvater book? Yes please!

The Specter Key by Kaleb Nation
Summary: Blogging phenom Kaleb Nation delivers an exceptional follow-up to his debut hit, The Farfield Curse. Re-enter the world of Dunce where magical hero Bran Hambric has recently discovered a safe deposit box in his mother's name-in the very vault where he was discovered as a boy. Now he's on a frightening path that eventually leads to his father, whom Bran believed to be dead. When Bran's best friend, Astara, is kidnapped and turned into a Specter, he must explore a side of himself he never knew existed. But will the magic destroy him the way it destroyed his mother?
Bran when Bran first met him. Maybe that's just me, but I'm keeping my eye on him. Then there's Nim. I didn't know if I was going to like her or not because of Thomas, BUT she turned out to be an interesting little character. And I mean little. She's a fairy...sprite...thing...? She's some fierce little something or other and I thought she was great. A very cute character.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Hope Santa Will Bring
I have all of David's books except for this one. I've loved them all (except The Telling Pool). Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this book ended up being like The Telling Pool for me, but I don't care. I want it. I want to read it. I need something to help me deal with The Scream of the White Bears mess.
Of course I've seen reviews out the rear for this book and I haven't read it myself. I'm cautious about my fantasy books, but I'm convinced that I should read this book.
I loved Sister's Red, but I haven't gotten Sweetly yet. I guess I'm not dying to buy it because it isn't part of a series really. New story, new characters so I haven't gotten around to getting it. I've heard it's great though so I want it.
Shade was brilliant and I've heard Shift is brilliant as well. I have no excuse for not picking up this book. I just haven't gotten around to it. And I'm broke.
I enjoyed Angel Star a LOT so I need to get my hands on Lemniscate at some point.
I haven't read any of these books yet, but if I get Inheritance then I'll start reading them. I have all of them except this one. Reading these books was going to be my Summer project, but that didn't happen.
Ash was incredible and I can't help but look at this book when I go to the bookstore. I want it so bad.
Another book I want because I have the others. I haven't read the other books in this series, but I own them. I loved Scott's Uglies series so I'm certain I'll love these as well.
I've heard good things about this book, and I love Jen's Raised by Wolves series so I have high hopes for this one.
I loved the other 2 books in this series and I am aching to see how it all ends!

With all of the recent push to the cloud by various vendors it's easy to forget that there are really two ways of implementing cloud computing. For sure, the big cloud vendors push is for businesses to move to public cloud computing. However, many organizations have leaned more toward the private cloud.
The public cloud and the private cloud offer similar promises: reduced operation expenses, greater elasticity of resources, and self-service management. The big difference is that using the public cloud requires leasing resources from some other vendor's web-based infrastructure. In contrast, you implement the private cloud as a management layer on top of your own internal infrastructure. Not surprisingly, most IT professionals are far fonder of the idea of the private cloud than they are the public cloud because the private cloud leverages your existing infrastructure and its keeps vital aspects of your infrastructure like performance, availability and security under the control of your own company.
But if you think about it does the private cloud really work for SQL Server? SQL Server is not like IIS where workloads can be balanced between multiple servers. In other words, you can't add an additional SQL Server instances to your cluster and get any performance benefits. For SQL Server, clusters only offer enhanced availability—not enhanced performance. SQL Server users are connected to a given database and that database has a given configuration and properties. While that may be the case that doesn't mean that you can dynamically alter the available computing power for a SQL Server instance.
Virtualization is the key to implementing SQL Server in the private cloud. SQL Server instances running in VMs can be dynamically live migrated to hosts with greater resource availability and computing power. Further, if the SQL Server instance is running in a VM and the host has the available physical capacity you can dynamically increase the number of virtual CPUs and RAM and available to the SQL Server instance. Hyper-V and vSphere both support hot-add RAM and CPU. In addition, SQL Server has the ability to be reconfigured to accept hot-add RAM and CPU without requiring any downtime. Live migration, hot-add RAM and CPU let give SQL Server the elasticity it needs to be a fully functional component of the private cloud.

Kitchen Experiments: Baked Egg in a Ham Shell
Kitchen Experiments: Baked Egg in a Ham Shell
Earlier this week, I wanted a simple, yet hearty breakfast. I knew I had some eggs and ham, but I didn't have a lot of time. I had to get ready for work, but also wanted something yummy. That's when I remembered baked eggs. Baked eggs are great because you can pop them in the oven, get ready for work, and have a warm breakfast before you leave.
I was originally going to have a simple egg, but then thought about lining a ramekin with ham in order to make a self-contained meal. Next I decided to toss in some tomatoes sautéed in garlic.
The overall concept was a good one, I don't think you can really go wrong with a baked egg. However, my dish was a bit runny. I halved the tomatoes, but didn't really let them cook down much. This was a mistake, I should have let them cook down as they weren't seeded and the tomatoes were really watery. There was nowhere for the liquid to go, so the bottom of my creation was a bit soggy. The top, however, was great. Next time, I won't get lazy with the tomato cooking!
Baked Egg in a Ham Shell
A kitchen experiment by YumSugar
handful of plum tomatoes, halved
1 clove garlic
2 slices of ham
1 tbsp. jack cheese
splash of milk
1 egg
salt pepper
olive oil
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Grease a small ramekin or one slot in a muffin tin. Place two pieces of ham inside the ramekin, make sure they overlap to create a sort of crust. Set aside.
- In a small pan on medium heat, heat a small amount of oil until shimmering. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add tomatoes to pan, salt, and cook for a few minutes.
- Spoon tomato mixture into the ham shell. Add a splash of milk and cheese.
- Crack an egg on top of the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place ramekin on baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until egg white has set.

As an editor at JIST Publishing (a leader in the career-book business), I have been called upon frequently to meet with, talk with, and e-mail with aspiring editors and publishing professionals, to answer their questions about what I do. Invariably, these three questions always are among what I'm asked:
- How did you get where you are?
- What is a typical day like for you?
- Do you have any tips for someone who wants to get into publishing?
I dutifully answer their questions based on my own opinions gleaned from 16 years as a professional editor, eight of those editing career books. But I always wonder whether the advice I dispense could be stronger if it were combined with the wisdom of many other publishing people, and updated on a daily basis.
So after scheduling my second informational interview this week, a light suddenly clicked on:
I could put my advice in a blog, add the opinions and resources of others, and provide a truly useful service for people who, like me 16 years ago, are either unsure of their direction or how to get there. Several people volunteered their time to tell me about their jobs when I was in college. In the name of karma, I enjoy giving back.
So check back here regularly for what I think is going to be a unique and spectacular look at a profession that holds fascination for so many of us. And if you like what you read, be sure to tip your writer by clicking on the ads!

Points You Must Watch Out for Economical Policy Cheshire
Thanks to the net we have the ability to discover information faster compared to ever before. This comes in convenient specifically when it comes to getting affordable life insurance policy quotes. It used to be that getting economical insurance policy quotes was a time consuming and also confusing challenge but not anymore. Nowadays you can receive totally free quotes for budget-friendly life insurance in minutes with just a little bit of individual information.
These budget friendly life insurance quote solutions could help save you a great deal of money and time by speaking to every one of the huge insurance companies, as well as obtaining the best plan as well as prices possible of what you are looking for. There are 3 things you require to view out for when dealing with affordable life insurance policy prices estimate online.
Check Info
While most of the on-line insurance quote solutions are exact and also as much as date, occasionally data will certainly obtain blended and can come to be incorrect. This is absolutely nothing even more that human error while getting in the information into these quote systems. It is very important that if you choose to choose a plan that was estimated to you that you validate all of the quote information with the representative from the specific life insurance company making sure that you are obtaining every one of the alternatives you're spending for.
Stay clear of Older looking Websites
It is essential to note that there are a lot of outdated web sites around and a section of them are insurance policy quote sites. These older websites are notorious for having totally out of date as well as inaccurate information along with asking way a lot of individual and health and wellness relevant concerns. Older sites likewise take a lot longer to deliver a budget-friendly life insurance quote to you.
Tricks to Budget-friendly Whole Life Insurance Quotes North West
When discovering life insurance options, the ordinary customer exists with an overwhelming selection of companies as well as product selections. Damaging things to basic life insurance policy fundamentals could be a challenging task. One of the very first choices that a private need to make is the choice in between whole life insurance policy and term life insurance policy. And also while a term life insurance quote could be dramatically less expensive than an entire life insurance policy quote, it is not always the liked alternative for lots of people.
So the question would arise– why would certainly an individual prefer a whole life plan over a term life policy? The response could often be discovered in that individuals are looking for a long-lasting strategy of insurance coverage in addition to an investment/ financial savings automobile. Offered that a private pays on his insurance coverage throughout his life, he is covered at time of fatality with a whole life strategy. Safeguarding your household from a monetary disaster upon your death as well as making certain that funeral expenditures can be paid are the major factors behind acquiring top quality whole life insurance policy.
Among the little secrets to locking in a budget friendly whole life insurance price (which can take on the generally reduced premium payments of term life insurance), is to begin early in life. By beginning at a young age, an individual can usually manage the costs settlements– even if they has to request reduced survivor benefit at first. These death benefits can be upgraded later when the spending plan will enable. In this straightforward way, a person could get an entire life insurance policy without overburdening his/her budget plan.
Safe and Rewarding Method of Insurance Protection Oscroft
It is not information that there's a huge difference in on the internet life insurance policy prices estimate provided by different firms. A life insurance protection might set you back double the rate somebody else is paying with another insurer. Consider this: You can become the person that pays double the price for the exact same policy. Can any individual verify that they are not investing more than they would with some other insurance company? You'll discover how you could in this write-up.
You can just recognize for certain that you're not paying greater than you should if you take a while bent on do considerable shopping. There are lots of means you could do this. I have actually discovered that obtaining on-line life insurance prices estimate makes the whole procedure very easy yet a lot extra productive.
All you need to do is see as much as 5 respectable insurance quotes websites for quotes. I suggest that you check out as much as five quotes websites due to the fact that no solitary quotes site returns quotes from every insurance company. Getting quotes from these several (and even a lot more if you could) decreases the chances that you'll miss out on deals not represented by one quotes site.
Compare the quotes returned and also you'll see who has the best offer.
Like I said earlier, there are numerous methods you can deal with this. However, below are the advantages of on-line life insurance quotes …
Lower Insurance Prices if You're Healthy and balanced
By merely caring for on your own and also remaining healthy, you can conserve loan on your life insurance policy quotes.
If you currently have an existing insurance policy that you acquired back when you were not in the very best of health, there is still great news. Improving your health can decrease your rates. Educate your insurer of your improved health.
Maybe with a duplicate of your newest physical. This is a great time to shop around for a low-cost life insurance policy quote. (The internet is the easiest as well as fastest way. And it's totally free!). If you're insurance policy needs to refuse to lower your prices, drop them as well as proceed! With all those insurance policy quotes you have actually gathered by means of the web, you will be sure to discover a policy that is perfect for you.
Firms could lower your prices if you improve your health. Once you buy a policy, and also your health and wellness must degrade, they cannot raise your rates.
Right here is a couple of methods to go about trying to find a low-cost life insurance quote ought to you have wellness concerns.
Do not try to mislead the business. If you smoke, you should tell them. They will certainly figure out anyway so be in advance.
You see, a lot of insurance provider will request that you have a physical exam prior to settling your policy. Component of that test will be evaluating your urine for nicotine. You're busted! As well as it matters not whether you are a light, modest, or hefty smoker. The smallest amount of nicotine can be identified
If you are a cigarette smoker, you should obtain as lots of life insurance policy quotes as you possibly can. There are some insurance companies available that are a bit much more forgiving than others when it pertains to cigarette smokers and also their prices.
Oscroft Cheshire How to Get the Most Effective Insurance Quote
It seems simple sufficient. Just browse the web and obtain the most effective term life insurance quote from among those quote service providers. We have actually all heard about it. "Conserve 75% in 2 minutes!"
The issue is – with so many choices – which internet site do we trust to offer us the very best quotes for our life insurance? And, exactly how do we get the best term life insurance policy quote?
First, you have to recognize that the internet has actually made it so very easy to compare quotes that numerous insurers have actually lowered their prices recently. Many of the quote companies' internet websites have agreements with the leading rated insurance providers providing the finest prices. So, when you most likely to a reputable website and also request a quote – you'll get instant side-by-side comparisons from most of the most effective insurance firms with the very best prices offered online.
Where Do I Begin?
There are customer review websites that discuss the leading ranked quote suppliers. Some leading quote provider sites consist of ReliaQuote, AccuQuote, Insure and Term-Life-Online. com.
Decide why you need the insurance coverage and for how long. Figure out just how much life insurance protection your loved ones need. Make use of a life insurance calculator to determine the right amount of coverage.

The quotes shown will be the most affordable offered from that service based on your info.
Protect Your Future Quickly: Policy Strategies Cheshire
We constantly think about buying life insurance, so that our future is secured. We generally obtain it by individual, yet we may have not believed of purchasing it online. Yes, life insurance policy strategies are currently available online also. If the internet could be secure to go shopping, after that it could also be trusted to obtain on the internet life insurance quote.
All quotes are governed legitimately:
Regulation controls and also repairs prices of insurer, so normally on-line insurance coverage quotes may have the very same prices as offline ones. Clear suggestion of the insurance discontinuations defined in the plan of the company aids to recognize the specific service we can receive from that scheme. However it is possible to find on-line life insurance policy quotes at a reduced expense compared to we get it from our regional representatives. Insurance quotes are safe to buy online, as all insurers are certified by state as well as federal laws. All on-line quotes work exactly similarly as if they were taken from the neighborhood agents.
We should analyses the list below facets of the online insurance quotes:
– Obtain all knowledge regarding the discontinuations and meaning of the conditions underwritten in the plan
– The insurance company's monetary ranking
– Privacy plan in addition to conditions being supplied on the system we are interested in.
– Expertise concerning all other policies that company supplies
– It ought to be kept in mind that all policies must require a health examination
– If money-back assurance is readily available, it would be better.
If we understand answers to these points, after that we could select the most attractive life annuity prices that the company can pay for. Limited duration policies are typically geared up with money-back assurance. After this, if we do not intend to continue with the policy, the entire quantity would be refunded.
One of the first decisions that a private need to make is the selection in between entire life insurance policy as well as term life insurance coverage. And while a term life insurance coverage quote can be considerably more affordable than a whole life insurance coverage quote, it is not always the favored option for several people.
One of the little keys to securing in a budget-friendly entire life insurance coverage rate (which can complete with the typically lower premium settlements of term life insurance), is to start early in life. Legislation controls and also repairs prices of insurance firms, so typically on the internet insurance coverage quotes might have the very same rates as offline ones. Insurance policy quotes are secure to buy online, as all insurance policy firms are licensed by state as well as federal regulations.

Reports have surfaced today about a shooting outside a nightclub in Virginia Beach, Va. where Eagles backup quarterback Michael Vick was having his birthday party Thursday night.
Reports have varying degrees of detail, but here's a roundup of what we know, and what we don't know at this point.
One of Vick's lawyers, Larry Woodward, says Vick was neither involved nor present when the shooting occurred, according to the Associated Press. A police spokesman told the AP that a man sustained non-life-threatening injuries after being shot around 2 a.m. outside the club Guadalajara.
The Daily Press, meanwhile, reports that one of Vick's co-defendants in the 2007 federal dogfighting trial, Quanis Phillips, was admitted to the Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital early this morning and was listed in good condition, but the report could not confirm that Phillips was the man who had been shot. Phillips was sentenced to 21 months after pleading guilty in the dogfighting trial.
David Squires, who writes about urban affiars for the Daily Press, is told by sources that Phillips was at the party. Per Squires, there was a confrontation that moved outside the club, and Phillips was the man who was shot. Squires writes that it's unclear whether Vick was present at the time of the shooting, but he was not there when the police arrived.
Vick turns 30 on Saturday. Last week, a survey publised in Forbes named him the most disliked athlete in America.
Earlier today, I wrote about whether the Eagles lacked an elite player on their current roster.

- Code: Select all
it has been months since xenkan fleets were drove back to chaos space, and since then not a single trace of activity was picked up by listening posts on the fringe's of praetorian space, the empire thought the threat was gone, that they'd broke them. They were wrong. Without notice a fleet of ships came from the chaos space and dug deep into praetorian space, local defenses were brushed aside as they headed towards the industrial system Hollus. Hollus was home to three populated colonies, Twin-Planet's Icarus & Daedalus and the moon gener IV-III, all of which were industrial worlds, producing a large amount of miltrary grade equipment primarily ordnance and plasma technology, such a loss wouldn't cripple the praetorian empire, but would cause shortages in many weapons. The Xenkan fleet destroyed the orbiting defenses, leaving the systems fate in the hands of the defenders on the ground
- Code: Select all
*Priority Message-Authentication Stamp: C2274 Captain Nimroy>Ground Station Gamma*
Message Start: The fleets gone, were down to the Arrow of Desire, and Spear 'O' Clouds Unfold. Were hitting their battleships, but our weapons are having no effect............Fire control to the bridge!........Increase laser gain....I'm sorry, we can't do no more......All hands abandon ship............:Message End
OK, lets get started
Here is the board set-up, taking place just outside of the colony on gener (named after the Catalan word word for January). The battle was originally going to be My two brothers against each other, however at turn 2 I took over the Xenkans. This is just a classic fight to the death, winner takes all scenario, for maximum carnage. Both teams would roll a d4 from their 2nd turn onward until they rolled a 4, at which point they'd receive reinforcements, for the xenkans this would be 5 jump troops landing anywhere on the board (no scatter) and for the praetorians this would be a Bismuth-Class starfighter.
Praetorian Forces
1 Generic space hero
1 Bismuth-Class Starfighter (reinforcement)
3 Territorial Marine W/Snipers
3 Territorial Marine W/MGL's
9 Territorial Marine
3 Advance Guard W/Snipers
2 Advance Guard W/Plasma Shotguns
Xenkan Forces
1 Hero
1 & Only Dreddy
5 Drop Troops (reinforcement)
20 Warriors
2 Warriors W/Shotgun & Shield
1 Warrior W/Mk2 AG
1 Warrior W/Mortar
Dreddy's been re-assembled since chapter 2 and has been pimp'd with extra Mk2 missiles for added carnage. The praetorians won first turn.
Praetorian Turn 1
Snipers opened fire from the half wrecked pill box, but only managed to kill one. More shots are fired from the line of marines on the ground slaying three more
Xenkan Turn 1
Xenkan forces move up and dreddy fires up his hell-screamer autocannons, a battery of 4 BA AG's they're powerful with dreddy's high skill level but can't be re-loaded during battle
4 are killed and the barricade reduced to rubble, but two of the guns jam. At this point a xenkan carrying a portable mortar fires it towards the praetorian generic space hero.
"You'll take the mortar to the face and you'll f****** like it!"
The generic space hero is thrown prone and the unlucky marine suffers a terminal case of death.
Praetorian Turn 2[b]
Reinforcements don't show up yet.
The Praetorians form a firing line and a Plasma Shotgun wielding Advance Guardsman flanks around the side.
He squeezes the trigger and a blast of searing hot plasma is released from the barrel, 3 are killed outright from it and a 4th is set on fire, Dreddy doesn't take any damage other than a bit of paint peeling. at this point Praetorians fire on Dreddy, reducing him down a point of damage. another Xenkan was killed by heavy combined fire.
[b]Xenkan Turn 2
Xenkans surge forward and fire on a sniper killing him. Dreddy goes to fire his Mk2's
Unfortunately (or fortunately) both fail and explode reducing dreddy another point (odds of rolling two 1's on a d20?), as normal dreddy enjoy's this kind of thing. The mortar trooper once again fired but missed
Praetorians Turn 3
Praetorian reinforcements still don't arrive. The Praetorians move in-advisably towards the OTC's. the Advance Guard with the plasma shotgun isn't pleased with the carnage he's caused so far, so opens up point blank on a xenkan warrior.
With pleasingly messy results, the near indestructible OTC was the only thing above his waist to not be disintegrated.
Karma's a bitch though and he's hit by response fire from the machine gunner, but then him and another xenkan are killed by snipers on the pillbox and more combined fire.
Dreddy absorbs more attacks from the praetorians, but that Deranged-Bloodthirsty-Psychotic-Necrotic-Bastard-Mech isn't going down without a little more fun. The Generic Space Hero applies bullets to the face of a Xenkan, but his armour manages to take it.
Xenkan Turn 3
No reinforcement yet
Xenkans finally get into OTC range....3...2..1.CARNAGE
4 are mauled by a flurry of OTC strikes, Dreddy not to be upstaged kills two with the Hell-Screamer jamming one of the guns.
A momentary ceasefire was instated for curry based reasons.......Murder & Hilarity now resumes
The Mortar fires and once again misses it's target. The Xenkan hero now tries a heroic feat, to abandon his jet pack and land on the enemy hero and OTC him IN DA FACE.
Too much curry obviously. He suffers brain trauma and now has to roll a dice every turn to see if he spends the rest of it break-spasming. More Xenkans open fire and all predictably missed.
Praetorian Turn 4
- Code: Select all
"This is Zulu-4 to control we're entering the combat zone"
The Praetorian support finally arrives. Praetorian Rifle fire rings out at the enemy, but with them literally hacking into their line, they don't combine fire, hoping to kill more, but only a sniper and their hero took down their targets. The Bismuth-Class fires a Mk5 Thermobaric rocket towards the xenkan making up the rear.
all of them are killed and sucked into the epicenter by the partial Vaccum created. A Mk2 is then fired at Dreddy but bounces off his hull and into a group of unsuspecting ground troops.
killing one Xenkan and two Praetorians.
Xenkan Turn 4
Still no reinforcements. Xenkans move to push their attack and their hero passes the bunt trauma test and moves in, dreddy brings his last autocannon to bear on the starfighter
He manages two hits before it jams and deals no damage of any consequence. Warriors begin attacking the isolated Generic Space Hero
Seeing the imminent fate of the hero, a marine ran forward onto the wing of the wreck craft, knocking the hero out of harms way and accepting the brunt of the attack. A Warrior underneath Dreddy, inspired by the sounds of heavy machine gun fire happening a meter from his head decides to liberally apply OTC to the MoFo in front of him.
This was super effective. Inspired by the awesomeness occurring further down the board another Xenkan defies all the odds and actually manages to shoot someone to death.
Praetorian Turn 5
Two Praetorians fire on the warrior under dreddy, both hit but fail to kill. the last surviving advance guardsman on the pillbox misses a shot on the xenkan hero. The bismuth fires a mk 2 towards the other end of the board, two Xenkans are killed but the hero's tank the damage. the bismuth then fires a mk2 at dreddy, hitting him but Dreddy's made of tougher stuff and survives.
Xenkan Turn 5
Drop troops finally arrived landing two on the fighter, one on the pillbox, and two on the ground.
The Generic Space Hero is slain, no troops were close enough to red-shirt.
The Praetorians were reduced to a single advance guardsman on the ground.
A Drop Troop smashed the cockpit in exposing the fleshy operators of the infernal contraption.
Praetorian Turn 6
The pilot hits the accelerator, banking the fighter, the Xenkan on the wing falls to his demise and the other clings on for dear life.
Seeing an opportunity the guardsman pushes the Xenkan aside and aims but misses, his shot hitting the metallic hull of the fighter.
Xenkan Turn 6
The Drop Troop swipes the gunner, killing him with a nudge from the OTC the body falls to the floor. The Other drop troop on the roof hits the Sniper but fails to do any damage,
Praetorian Turn 7
The Pilot levels out the craft and returns to hover mode, he holds it steady to give the sniper as good a shot as possible, Unfortunately it wasn't enough and the high velocity round fails to pierce the armour.
Xenkan Turn 8
Finally the sniper is killed, leaving just the pilot left. the rest of the cockpit is smashed and the Xenkan climbs up ready for his final strike.
Praetorian Last Turn
Even while hearing the OTC behind him revving up the pilot makes one last act of desperation, firing off the last Mk5, it veers off a bit but still lands close, killing two Xenkans, the bodies of those alive and dead are pulled towards the blasts center.
Xenkan Last Turn
The pilot was decapitated with one swift OTC blow to the head, the Valiant Xenkan warrior takes his ring side seat for the carnage about to unfold.....
The Turn After The Last Turn
The fighter heads straight down, knocking over the pillbox with it's wing and hitting Dreddy in the back, garbled obscenities can be heard coming from his synthesizer. the left wing is sheared off before it comes to an abrupt halt.
Xenkan Victory
- Code: Select all
The system was lost to the xenkans, within hours of this emergency plans were put into effect, the following was sent to all immortal allied commanders in praetorian space:
"As of this time we're no longer able to guarantee the safety of allied troops and resources in praetorian space, plans are being put into place to move all troops back to staging posts in Nehellenium, other resources will follow"
That's it for now, I hope to take less than half a year to post another battle, but we'll have to see.

Last night I read the news that Dragon Soul is getting nerfed! and I went Yey!
I'm in a small friend guild. We don't always end up with the best raid composition. We don't always have the same healer from one night to the next. Sometimes our tanks get stuck at work. We raid with 2 awesome hunters, in 10 man.
We are all competent players and individually could join a progression guild and do well. But we like playing together, because we know each other. We know the jokes, we push each other, we die, get frustrated one night to one shot the same boss the next night. We are currently 5/8 with some solid attempts at the ship… we just always seem to run out of time. We are casual raiders, we know it, we don't pretend to be anything else. Individually I think some have already cleared DS with pugs. I have cleared up to Madness on an alt.
I read Kurn and listen to her podcast. I enjoy the banter and enjoy reading from the perspective of her and many other progression raiders I listen to. I am however quite disappointing, because what I have seen kill many WoW communities is what I am reading on her post.
My toons grew up in a PvP server that had population issues ever since I started playing. I never experienced the life of a larger server other than making a toon to talk to a friend there before real id, or to pass the time if our server was down for whatever reason.
When I first started to raid lead and lead a guild I started to bump into "progression raiders." I quickly saw that they enjoyed trolling others establishing superiority via their achievements in game. That really does not mean much to an adult. Then the groups in this small server introduced me to the systematic dismantling of other groups. A raiding guild would move in, or progress and they would do what they could to poach players, not to help them but to slow the other guild down. I saw what a competitive environment can do, and how it hurt the overall community. I am hoping that this was an outlier of the community, and not the norm with progression raids.
I looked up to people like Kurn, progression raiders that seemed to just want to play the game at a higher level. Willing to share tips and help the overall community. I admire their dedication to their guild and the game. I even went as far as to be ok the calls of foul play when T12 was nerfed. I felt I was part of her community, the WoW community… I guess I was fooling myself.
Cataclysm arrived and with the T11 content nerfs, my faith in Blizzard was shaken. When the Firelands nerfs arrived, I was furious and my trust in Blizzard eroded. And now, with the announcement of Dragon Soul nerfs, despite the fact that Looking for Raid exists *for* those people who will not make the efforts needed to raid seriously, I have to admit that my faith in Blizzard is shattered. My trust in the developers of World of Warcraft is gone. I am obviously not the type of player they want playing their game. And that's what's so very shocking to me. I am a good player. I am a community asset. I am a guild leader, a raid leader, a healing lead. I write a blog dedicated to the game that has had hundreds of thousands of visitors and pageviews since December 31st, 2009 (and more before then, but I don't have any data before 12/31/09). I co-host and produce a podcast dedicated to the game.
Read the whole post, it is a great way to get perspective. A perspective I don't agree with because it uses word like incompetence, laziness, and "this game is no longer for me".
Before I continue with my thoughts on the subject, lets be clear about something. Blizzard is a company that makes a game. They are there to MAKE MONEY because it is what businesses do in a capitalist system. They are above and beyond one of the places that is the most sensitive to their customers and keep millions of them happy.
This is not the first time I see these kind of diatribe about the game. The moment a person starts to feel above others, to me it is the moment that they show they feel insecure. I don't know Kurn personally and that statement is not directed at her personally. It is directed to all of the progression raiders that have yet to kill Madness on Heroic, that never Killed Ragnaros Heroic per nerf.
There is no reason to take a crap on top of the community because the allotted time to accomplish what others do in hours, days, weeks, you ran out of time to do. If you can be that awesome, then why aren't you done already.
I'm tired of the people in the community acting like if the game is not for the top raider, the game is garbage.
WOW is in the BEST state a game can be. There is so much to do it is unreal!
Stop acting like the game has to be tailored to just YOU or it is garbage and you won't play anymore.
If you are truly a part of the community and want to report and serve that community, think of the WHOLE community and not just your very small percentage of hardcore raiders that need 4 months to clear an instance on heroic instead of 1 or 2. The nerfs affect you only because now you cannot compare yourself with those that did it before you… the reality is that you could not do that to begin with.
I am not a top 100 player, probably not even top 1000 either. But every night I log on and kill a boss with friends I have FUN! if the game is not fun for you, by all means, quite playing.
There are so many people in the community doing creative things to have fun with the game, that it pains me to read that the people that do what I like to do in raiding, don't even consider me a part of the community.
If you hate pandas, do it! If you want to quit playing the game, see ya! But stop acting like the game is not for you, simply because the game is not JUST for you.

December 11, 2001
Senate Passage of H.R. 10
The Comprehensive Retirement Security and Pension Reform Act of 2001
On December 5, 2001, the Senate, by a vote of 90-9, passed an amended version of H.R. 10, the Comprehensive Retirement Security and Pension Reform Act of 2001. The Senate amended the bill by striking the existing text and substituting the language of the House-passed version of H.R. 1140, the Railroad Retirement and Survivors Improvement Act of 2001.
Under the bill, Social Security benefit payments would be certified for payment by the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) on the records of workers with either 10 years of service covered under the Railroad Retirement Act or 5 years of such covered service accrued after December 31, 1995. (SSA will have to identify and review any cases now paid by SSA that may have to be certified for payment by the RRB effective January 1, 2002.) The bill would have no effect on the long-range financial status of the Social Security program.
The Senate-passed bill is expected to be returned to the House for action. Specific bill provisions follow.
Amendments to Railroad Retirement Act of 1974
- Would increase benefits to railroad employees and their beneficiaries and to revise financing of the pension part (tier 2) of the railroad retirement system.
- Would provide for a guaranteed initial minimum amount for surviving spouses of deceased railroad employees. Bases such amount on the tier 1 and tier 2 benefit that would have been payable to the employee at the time of the award of the surviving spouse's annuity.
- Would repeal the reduction in tier 1 annuity components for employees and spouses prior to age 62, thus providing for full tier 1 annuities to employees at age 60 with 30 years of service and to spouses of employees with 30 years of service at age 60.
- Would reduce the vesting requirement for railroad retirement benefits for employees and survivors to 5 (currently 10) years of service, based on service after 1995. Sets forth computation formulas for individual annuities through railroad retirement and Social Security benefit systems.
- Would repeal a maximum limit on annuity benefits payable to an employee and spouse under the railroad retirement system.
- Would establish a Railroad Retirement Trust Fund (the Fund) and a Railroad Retirement Investment Trust to manage and invest Fund assets.
- Would abolish the Railroad Retirement Supplemental Annuity Account and provides for transfer of its funds to the Fund. Provides for transfer to the Fund of certain portions of the Railroad Retirement Account and of Social Security Equivalent Benefit account funds.
- Would transfer to the disbursing agent from the Dual Benefits Payments Account the amount necessary to make dual benefit payments.
- Would require the Railroad Retirement Board to calculate the ratio of assets to benefits to determine annual tier 2 tax rates for employers, employee representatives, and employees.
Amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
- Would amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt the Fund from taxation.
- Would repeal a supplemental annuity tax that railroad employers pay to finance a benefit for long-time rail employees.
- Would provide for adjustments to railroad employers, employee representatives, and employee tier 2 tax rates.

Topic: Why did Dengar rescue Boba Fett
The mandalorian armor book tells us that Boba fett blasted his way out of the Sarlacc and that after was rescued by Dengar and nursed Boba back to health. It is very clear that Boba is the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. So why would Dengar want to rescue him? It also says that boba fett didn't die easily, and he would have died out their in the sweltering hot dessert. I thought all the bounty hunters wanted fett dead so they could get more bounties and get paid more often? Leave your answers in the comments below.

The Houston Dynamo came back for another road result, getting a late goal for a 1-1 draw with Philadelphia Union on Saturday evening at PPL Park. The Dynamo have 28 points from 23 games on the season, sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Union took the lead in the 19th minute. Jack McInerney finished off a beautiful give-and-go with Sébastien Le Toux, flicking the ball past Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall with his right foot from inside the area for the opener. Le Toux hit the post when in on goal alone in the 84th minute, a miss that would haunt the home side seconds later, when Geoff Cameron ripped a long-range drive that sailed past Philadelphia goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon for the leveler.
- Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made one change to the team that defeated Seattle Sounders FC 3-1 at Robertson Stadium. Cam Weaver started in attack in place of the injured Will Bruin.
- HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-4-2): Tally Hall - Hunter Freeman (Jermaine Taylor 69), Andre Hainault, Bobby Boswell, Corey Ashe - Colin Clark (Je-Vaughn Watson 62), Adam Moffat, Geoff Cameron, Brad Davis - Brian Ching, Cam Weaver (Carlo Costly 61).
- The game in Philadelphia started a string of six out of nine games the Dynamo will play away from Robertson Stadium. Houston is still one of three teams remaining in MLS without a victory away from home (also: Toronto FC and Vancouver).
- "We've been struggling and hurting ourselves but I think we put a great game together last week (and put another good game together this week on the road," Brad Davis said. "We just need to keep riding this high we're on and keep playing the way we're playing, and I think we're going to start to rattle off some wins."
- Honduras international Carlo Costly, signed just before the match, came off the bench for the final half-hour for his MLS debut in the Dynamo's 1-1 draw with Philadelphia.
- "He's played in some good places; he's played internationally for his country (Honduras), so it's good," said Davis. "I think it's going to take a little bit for him to get acclimated to his new teammates and his new team but on the other hand, like I said, him being a guy that's played in some good leagues I think he's going to adapt a bit quicker than someone else might."
- Midfielder Geoff Cameron pulled into the Dynamo team lead with his fourth goal in the Philadelphia match, level with strikers Will Bruin and Cam Weaver.
- "You have to give credit to them for the way they defended," Kinnear said. "They always defend well and in big numbers. I was a little surprised we scored from the top of the box because they were shutting that area down pretty well. We kept attacking wide and found some space; but unlike last week when the crosses were perfect, tonight we were just a pinch off. In the end you have to find the openings, and lucky for us, Geoff found one and made a good play and it hit."
- The Dynamo made another international addition this week when they announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder Luiz Camargo, who was last with Parana Clube.
- "I liked the way he played when I saw him," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear. "He can play in central midfield and gives us some options and flexibility in there. He has pace and can close down space and uses the ball well. He was very good in man-to-man marking and I liked the way he played the game. He kept the ball and played very simple."
The Portland Timbers extended their undefeated streak to a modest three games, reaching a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at Buck Shaw Stadium. The Timbers have 26 points from 22 games, sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference.
- The Timbers opened the scoring on 23 minutes. Jorge Perlaza burst down the right flank and sent in a low cross, and Kenny Cooper slipped through the Earthquakes defense to touch the ball home at the top of the six-yard box.
- But the Quakes pulled even at the game's three-quarter mark. After coming on as a substitute, Alan Gordon cut inside Portland center back Eric Brunner to reach a long, looping cross from Steven Beitashour, sending a snap header inside the back post.
- Timbers coach John Spencer made one change to the team that defeanted the LA Galaxy 3-0 at Jeld-Wen Field. Jeremy Hall came into the side for the suspended Diego Chara.
- PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-4-2): Troy Perkins - Jeremy Hall (sent off 91+), David Horst, Eric Brunner, Mike Chabala - Sal Zizzo, Lovel Palmer, James Marcelin, Darlington Nagbe (Kalif Alhassan 74) - Jorge Perlaza (Bright Dike 80), Kenny Cooper (Mamadou Danso 93+).
- The three games without loss is the longest undefeated run for the Timbers since they won three and drew one from April 30-May 21.
- "You're going to expect that the home team is going to come out dominating at some stage. I think the midweek game took a lot out of us," said Timbers boss John Spencer. "[In San Jose] I think we showed good resilience to stay in the game after the equalizer. After they got the goal they never really troubled us at all."
- Back in the starting lineup for a second consecutive match after coming off the bench for five straight games, Portland's Kenny Cooper scored his first goal since April 30 in the 1-1 draw at San Jose.
- "We want to make the playoffs. We had a great result. Again after the midweek game against a top team, we showed great desire and determination in that game," Cooper said. "But I thought we played well again and to get a point away from home."
- The Timbers were missing captain Jack Jewsbury for a second consecutive match, and were also missing his midfield running mate, Diego Chara, to suspension.
- "I think it's unfair to comment on guys that aren't here. They had a few guys missing, too. It obviously would have made them a better team and we feel the same," said Spencer. "At the moment, I think the guys that played tonight worked hard. It's the end of a tiring week for us."
- After starting his first three games with the Timbers at right back, Lovel Palmer started the match against San Jose in the midfield, pairing with James Marcelin in the center of the park.
- For Spencer, it will be his first game back in Houston, after serving as an assistant to head coach Dominic Kinnear for a number of years.
- "To be honest, I still feel very strange watching the team play on the field and on television and not being a part of it," Spencer said. "They're the first result I look for every weekend—it's going to be a hard thing for me coming [back]."
