I'm seeking three to five players for a Street Fighter game using the FU system (pronounced "foo", not "eff you"). It stands for Freeform/Universal, and it's a lovely little rules-lite system that lets you really pick up and go.
To resolve any action where the outcome is not clear, roll a d6. Your objective is to beat the odds by rolling an even number. The higher the even number (2, 4, 6), the better the result. If you roll an odd number, the action either failed or wasnt quite as good as needed or expected. The lower the odd number (5, 3, 1), the worse the result. When the environment, your skills, your equipment, or your abilities make an action easier or harder you will get to roll multiple dice and keep the best or worst result.
This system boils all rules down to basically "roll one or more d6" and that's it, allowing you to focus on what you're probably here for - roleplaying a character in the Street Fighter universe. This game will have more roleplay than roll-play, so make sure to keep that in mind before applying. Players who like a lot of crunch might not enjoy this one as much. But if you're still interested, then please submit a character. Here is a LINK to a Google Sheet I've already whipped up for you to fill out. Click File and choose Make a Copy. When it's done, click Share and paste the URL it provides you with here in this thread.
Decide if you're playing an established character or a new, custom character. You can choose any Street Fighter character from any canon SF game in the entire series. Just try your best to create them as faithfully accurate as possible. If you're making an OC, then you're starting completely from scratch. In either case, step one is to begin thinking about your character's Concept. This is the kernel of who or what the character is, and should be summed up in two to three words. They're all fighters. That's already assumed. So what else stands out about them? Your concept might define the characters background or occupation, such as professional dancer or pro basketball player. Or it might give insight into their personality, such as noble assassin or insane mutant.
Your character begins with a Maximum HP of 10.
Pick a fighting Style for your character. This won't come up a lot, if at all, but it just helps a bit for roleplaying's sake. Give it a real or fake name, who taught it to you, and describe its look and feel in a few words.
Descriptors are adjectives or very short phrases that identify a characters skills and flaws, the things that make their life easier and harder, and ultimately make them who they are. They indicate the kinds of things that a character is good at, their physical and mental traits, and any abilities or drawbacks they might have. They are both guides for your roleplaying and modifiers to your beat the odds rolls.
Characters have four Descriptors; Body, Mind, Edge, and Flaw. Choose an adjective or phrase to describe the most distinctive features of your character. Here are some examples. This is by no means an exhaustive list, just some ideas to get you started.
Body: Agile, Ambidextrous, Blonde, Furry, Fake Orange Tan, Handsome, Huge, Overweight, Poor Constitution, Quick, Razor-sharp Claws, Short, Slow, Strong, Tall, Thin, Ugly, Vigor, Weak.
Mind: Absent Minded, Book Smart, Computer-Wiz, Dim-Witted, Empathetic, Focused, Lateral Thinker, Mathematician, Observant, Slow, Uneducated, Wise, Witty.
Edge: Acrobatics, Arcane Knowledge, Courage, Driving, Fencing, Good Memory, Hunting, Keen Sight, Linguistics, Magic, Medicine, Nasty Bite, Rich, Wrestling.
Flaw: Blind, Brave, Clumsy, Greedy, Inhuman Appearance, Missing Leg, Old, Poor, Poor Sight, Primitive, Smelly, Wanted, Young.
Clichés are Your Friend!
It is totally okay to use clichés when coming up with your concept. Clichés contain a host of ideas and concepts that we are immediately familiar with. When somebody says their character is a barbarian, we automatically picture them as heavily muscled, and uncivilized. Using clichés is a kind of a shorthand way to describe your character.
Choosing Descriptors
You should strive to be imaginative and honest. Consider both your concept and the setting. Giving a character the Flaw cant swim when you know all the stories will take place in the desert is hardly sporting. Be imaginative, keep your concept in mind, and discuss your ideas with the Narrator. The possibilities are endless.
Descriptors are Clear
A good Descriptor is understood by everyone at the table. If you or another player think a Descriptor is ambiguous, talk about it. It might need to be rewritten, but it might not either. You just want everyone to be on the same page when it comes time to using it.
Descriptors are Innate
Each Descriptor is an integral and innate part of the character. They cannot normally be taken away, lost or removed (though they might be forgotten or restricted under the right circumstances). Do not make your Descriptors items of equipment.
Descriptors are Finite
A good Descriptor is not too broad. Medicine is better than Doctor, for example, as Doctor could actually be used in too wide a variety of non-medical situations As a Doctor, I am extremely well-educated, and I can actually deduce who the murderer is without looking for any more clues." / "As a Doctor, I am quite wealthy, and I can actually just buy our way into this venue without completing the bouncer's tasks. / etcetera.
What Type of Descriptor is This?
Some Descriptors could easily fall into more than one category. Good Memory might, for example, be a Mind Descriptor, or it could be an Edge; Ugly could be a Flaw or a Body Descriptor. Thats fine. It is up to you, the Narrator, and the other players to make a decision on whether a specific Descriptor is appropriate or not for the stories you are telling.
What Makes a Good Edge & Flaw?
Things that might be called skills or feats or stunts in other games make great Edges - stuff like Sword Fighting, Breathe Underwater, and Winning Smile are all good examples. The best Flaws are negative personality traits or physical shortcomings, and not typically actions that the character is bad at performing. Things like Always Smelly, or Deaf are better Flaws than Cant Drive or Misunderstands French. Of course, there are always exceptions. If the characters are British spies during the Napoleonic wars, for example, not speaking French very well would be a real drawback. And a Flaw like Cant Swim becomes a great feature in a game of pirates and sea battles. Look for ways to challenge your character, add spice to games, and present obstacles to overcome.
Should I Specialize?
You can focus your Descriptors on a single concept and specialize. Look at this example warrior-type character:
Body: Strong
Mind: Tactician
Edge: Melee
Flaw: Reckless
It would be very easy to bring most of these descriptors into play whenever you get into a fight. BUT, there isnt a lot of depth there and you are going to be in a bind when in noncombat situations. Instead, you might replace a couple of Descriptors with more versatile options:
Body: Tough
Mind: Focused
Edge: Melee
Flaw: Reckless
Just slightly changing two of those Descriptors to terms that are a bit more inclusive makes a big difference. Or you could describe your characters Body as Huge and their Edge as Strong if you want a wrestler or body builder character. Give your brilliant scientist Mind: Book-Smart and Edge: Rocket Science to set him at the top of a specific field. Just be aware that the more you specialize, the harder you will have to work in scenes unrelated to your forté. Some players like this challenge. Some don't.
Gear is the equipment, gadgets, and weapons that a character will use on their adventures. All characters always start with the basic clothes or items that are appropriate to their Concept. That stuff is free. Gear is the important and cool stuff beyond the basic equipment. Like Descriptors, a characters Gear will modify beat the odds rolls. Gear can be anything - guns and knives, fancy clothes, credit cards, a horse, a smartphone, even a vehicle. Like Descriptors, your characters Gear depends on your Concept, the Street Fighter setting, and the stories you want to tell. Unlike Descriptors, Gear is always made up of an adjective and noun. Rusting Sword, Long Rope, Fast Horse, Long-ranged Rifle, Dads Camero, Heavy Armor, etc. Your character starts with one piece of Gear, but more can be earned through play. Like the example Descriptors, this list is not in any way exhaustive. It barely scratches the surface of what your character might possess:
Clothes: Designer Jeans, Sexy Dress, Filthy Underpants, Worn Jacket, Cutting-edge Spacesuit, Silk Jacket, Beat-up Fedora, Powdered Wig.
Weapons: Rusty Sword, Heavy Axe, Antique Revolver, Concealable Dagger, Experimental Flamethrower, Fake Shotgun, Reliable AK-47, Rubber Mallet.
Transport: Faithful Horse, Clunker Buick, Bulletproof Limo, Squeaky Clown Shoes, Tuned-up Racer, Girl's Bicycle, Unreliable Coupe, Rickety Wagon, Fast Motorcycle.
Other Stuff: Huge Backpack, Miniature Flag, Heavy RPG Books, Faithful Hound, Dented Frying Pan, Water-damaged Notebook, Ancient Spell Book, My Favourite Pet Rock.
Choosing Gear
Items should be iconic to your character. Think Batmans 'Sinister Batsuit', the Ghostbusters' 'Unstable Proton-packs', James Bonds 'Reliable Beretta', or Zorros 'Flashy Blade'. Each piece of Gear should tie in, in some way, to your characters Background, Descriptors, or Goals. It should make a statement about who the character is or what they do.
Gear is Not Innate
Gear can be dropped, lost, broken and stolen. A Cybernetic Arm is not Gear, but an Armored Power Glove is.
Describing Gear
When describing gear make the adjective tell us something useful and/or interesting about it. A Long Dagger is okay, a Broken Dagger is better! Like Descriptors, the description of your Gear should be clear - you dont want to be guessing at the purpose or main feature of an item.
One Adjective Only
The description of your gear should have a single adjective - no less and no more. A Sharp Sabre is okay, as is a Magic Sword, but a Sharp Magic Sabre is not allowed.
Specific Nouns
Choose specific, descriptive nouns; Sabre is better than Sword, Baseball Cap is better than Hat. You can use more than one noun in rare cases, but keep the description to as few words as possible.
Talk About Your Gear
Discuss your Gear. Everyone needs to be clear on what you are describing; what the Gear will be useful for, and when it might be a hindrance. Gear is not innately good or bad. What you do with it and the situations you find yourself in will dictate whether having an item is useful or not.
Stuff That Isnt Gear
Any objects, items or equipment that are not listed as Gear are props. Props have no effect on a characters chance of success at an action - they are merely window-dressing. However, you can swap, steal and pick-up another characters Gear and use that!
By now, you should have a good idea of who your character is. Now it is time to fill in all the other details. This is the bit where you decide on the characters age, gender, height, weight, Background, general appearance, personality, and any other detail you think important or interesting. An image can take the place of a detailed appearance description. If you're playing an already-existing character, finding an image should be pretty easy. If you're making an original character, it might be a tad harder, but do your best.
One thing to keep in mind: You all have one thing in common. You were a participant in a very large, highly publicized, and heavily watched martial arts tournament about a year ago. You didn't win - Ryu did - but you placed fairly high in the rankings (if you're playing as Ryu then you did win). You met some nasty characters at that tournament but you also made a lot of new friends, some of which are your fellow PCs. You made a decent bit of money and you became a little famous as well. Here are some points to hit when writing your character's individual Background:
Where he grew up and how he was raised
How he met his sensei and why said sensei was willing to teach him
Any notable accomplishments so far in his life
Why he entered last year's fighting tournament
Any elaborating you'd like to do to incorporate your Drives and Relationships into your backstory
Every character has a purpose - a goal they are striving to achieve. It may not be world changing (though it can be) but it should be important to that character. Ask the following questions of your character; What do you want? What is it that you desire, the thing that drives you to action? What is stopping you? What obstacle or adversary is stopping you from getting what you want? What will you do? What is the next step to get what you want? What are you willing to do to succeed? What line do refuse to cross?
Choose at least one other character that will take part in the story and write a short statement about your relationship with them. This should be clear and add some interesting depth to both characters backgrounds. For example; Old drinking buddies; Dated the same woman; Fought in the war together; Were trained by the same master.
Pick a canon Street Fighter character who falls on the side of good and do the same thing with that character, as well. Decide on some kind of tie the binds you to that character and that character to you.
Now think of someone completely original who is not a Street Fighter. Someone who is not a fighter at all. A normal civilaian. Create a tie with them. This can be platonic or romantic.
Now pick a canon Street Fighter character who falls on the side of evil and decide on some kind of tie with them. It does not have to be pleasant but remember that it needs to affect that character as well as yourself.
Dont Be Antagonistic
Dont create Drives or Relationships that will have characters constantly at each others throats. It is okay to have characters that dont see eye-to-eye (in fact, that can be fun!), but dont have them hate each other. You want the characters to function together in order to defeat the antagonist, solve the mystery, or complete the mission!
In Summary
Your Background, Drives, and Relationships all help develop your character and put them into the world of your stories and adventures. Use them to inform the way you roleplay your character, the way they interact with the other players' characters, and the world around them.
I ask for at least one post every three days from each player. Just keep in mind that, whether the posts arrive on time or not, I will keep the game moving forward. I'm looking for players who won't disappear. Please don't apply if you don't think you can make it for the long haul.
Players who stick with the game and make it all the way to its end will receive a custom signature banner made by Yours Truly with your in-game character on it, touting your achievement.

(Note: This post has nothing to do with Baltimore other than the fact the performance discussed took place sort of close to it. And, Beyonce is performing at the Super Bowl this year -- where the Ravens will take on the 49ers. This is more of a rant that I felt needed to be said.)
Congratulations Lance Armstrong and Manti Te'o, there's a new national nightmare for everyone to debate ad nauseam.
This one, at least, is simpler: Beyonce. Inauguration. Lip-syncing. Huh, really?
Yes, it's being reported that superstar pop singer Beyonce faked her moving rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" at President Barack Obama's inauguration on Monday. A U.S. Marine Band representative said Tuesday that Beyonce changed from performing live to using a recording at the last minute. A higher-ranking spokesman later backtracked the statement a bit, saying the band mimed its performance but could not confirm if Beyonce was singing or not.

From publisher blurb:
The Wildkin Beastmaster is a class playbook for Dungeon World that specializes in leading a pack of animal companions. You'll create and start with a couple of packmates, but the rest you'll have to find. Hey, see that three ton dire bear eating the bard? A new packmate, perhaps! You'll just need to convince it to join...
Your packmates look to you, how do you lead?
Packmates come in every shape and size, so choose wisely. A ferocious Bite will prove lethal to your enemies, but Instinct is what will keep your packmates alive. And don't underestimate a beast with Guile, their tricks will surprise you every time. A good packleader knows what each of their packmates Love above all else, as well as any Quirk they might have. Perhaps think carefully before taking Leuk, the impulsive lynx who loves chicken, into that farming village up ahead.

Gene Information
The protein encoded by this gene is a RING-H2 zinc finger protein. It has been shown to be an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase that targets LIM domain binding 1 (LDB1/CLIM) and causes proteasome-dependent degradation of LDB1. This protein and LDB1 are co-repressors of LHX1/LIM-1 a homeodomain transcription factor. Multiple alternatively spliced variants encoding the same protein have been identified.

Cross Country
For the past few years we have had a successful cross country team, and this year has been no different. 2017-2018 went off with a bang for the school and many childred representec school fantastically at our first competiton.
To the first competition at Wingfield High School, we took 24 children to race. Our team ranged from Year 3 to Year 6. There were four races, and we were fortunate enough to win two of them. In all of the races, we managed to get at least 4 children in the top 10, and many went to represent the school once more in the Rotherham Finals at Herringthorpe.
Later in the half term, we took many of our runners to Herringthorpe Stadium to take part in the Rotherham Championships. This was an action packed morning and all the runners represented school fantastically. Within the races, 3 children finished inside the top 10 – this is a truly fantastic achievement. Following the event, school found out that our Y3/4 boys, Y3/4 girls and Y5/6 boys have been selected to represent Rotherham in the South Yorkshire Games.

Mule with the new Bread Platform attached for the past week or so (not exclusively because I'm still riding the Mundo), and my overall impressions very favorable. It was very easy to install, it's sturdy, and it is large...really large for a front rack. It measures 12 inches (30cm) by 17 inches (43cm). This will not replace the Mundo of course (nor did I intend it to) but it will come in really handy during the winter or when I simply don't need 7 feet (2.13m) of bike...but the Mundo is still more comfortable to ride. The mule is pictured above carrying a cardboard case of tomatoes (nearly empty)...the size fits perfectly. So does the size of a full case of beer or a case of wine (were talkin' the important stuff here). It handles really well because the load does not turn with the front wheel. But this in itself took some getting used to...it's an odd sensation at first to turn the front wheel and the load (or even just the rack if it is empty) does not turn. It's difficult to describe other than at first it felt like the load was going in the opposite direction because it juts out as you turn...simply an optical illusion.
My only real complaint about this rack is that the bars on it are far apart...nearly 4 inches (10cm) apart. This fine if carrying a box or crate, but with single or loose items this may present a problem. I'm currently thinking about how I can rectify this with modification (I may attach thin wooden slats going in the opposite direction, creating a sort of bed for items). I'd be interested to hear what others have to say about this, whether it's this rack in particular or another.
Mundo sells this rack as their Bread Platform (and what I thought may be a product built exclusively for the Mundo), it is actually a rack built by a Dutch company called Steco, and it's a rack built to fit most bikes. This was an easy assessment to make once I looked at the directions that came with the rack (click the image below). After Googling the rack and the company that makes it I found that many people sell this (but mostly in the EU), and Mundo is the only company that calls it as a Bread Platform, most call it a Luggage Carrier. None-the-less, I am very thankful that Ben and the Good People at Yuba are selling this rack (smart marketing on their part). I'm mentioning this because I think more bikes (longtails or not) should have racks like this. It turns an ordinary bike into one that can carry stuff. But the real problem, I think is getting them (the racks)...we need more American bike shops selling accessories like this (maybe when the fixie fad wears off). Thanks again Ben (and Yuba) for offering such a fine and useful product.

I am glad to see that the rack is working for you. I have been thinking of getting another rack for my hybrid bike.
It is basically the same as your mule.

Dan, Thanks again for send the pics of yours...it was the deciding factor in me purchasing one. I'm also thinking about purchasing a second one--for my Mundo--but it will probably have to wait until after the holidays.

Securities and Mutual Funds
Donate Securities and Mutual Funds On-Line
Publicly trading securities that are donated to a registered Canadian charity are completely exempt from the capital gains tax that is normally triggered when a security is sold or given away. This means you can support the work of LOFT and receive the full tax benefit from your gift, without having to pay tax on the capital gain.
If you currently hold publicly trading securities that have grown in value since you purchased them, donating the securities will actually cost you less than the amount of your donation, and potentially much less than it would cost to sell the securities and donate the proceeds.

Most of the orders will be delivered in 45 minutes. deliveries can occasionally

from you, we might make a phone call to you. For payments other than Paypal / Credit
cards, we will only process your orders when payment clears.
What is a pending e-check, and why do I need to wait for it to clear?
A pending e-check is a type of payment option available with Paypal. A pending e-check
is just like writing a normal check, except electronically. Just like normal checks,
pending e-checks take a few days to clear while Paypal verifies the funds are present
within the senders account. Once the check has cleared, the money is transferred
to GoldRS3' account and then delivery can take place immediately thereafter.
How do I avoid sending an e-check?
An e-check results when a payment is sent from an unverified account without sufficient
balance in the Paypal account to cover the cost of the order. Paypal must contact
the bank and verify that the funds are present, thus the cause of the 3 to 4 day
delay. To avoid sending an e-check, first complete the verification process for
your account, and then make sure the funds are present in Paypal before you place
an order. To confirm your payment type, just before placing the order you will see
a blue hyperlink that reads: "choose more funding options". By clicking
this link you may determine which option is currently selected for your payment,
and what payment options your account supports.
I've sent an e-check, but I did not mean to. How do I cancel it?
If you have mistakenly sent a pending e-check, you may log onto our live chat to
request a refund. If you wish to receive an instant delivery, you may place the
order with a valid credit card. Our live chat representatives can guide you through
this process and will answer any questions you might have.
Payment Options
Are there other ways to send payment other than Paypal?
Yes! In addition to PayPal you may also pay with your Visa or MasterCard, or you
can send us your payment via Western Union. Either payment solution will result
in a speedy delivery.
Can I send you a bank Transfer as a payment option, and how much does it cost?
Bank transfers are not officially a payment option available on the website; however
we do offer them for payments exceeding one thousand dollars. If you would like
to send us a special bank transfer for the purchase of a large amount of stock,
please inquire on our live help chat to work out the details.
Are there any handling fee/administrative fee for using a Paypal payment?
There are no fees incurred while sending money through Paypal. However, the fees
for receiving Paypal payments can vary depending on the type of account you possess.
If you have a 'personal' account, the charge to receive money is 30 cents per transaction.
If you have upgraded to a premier account, the fee is 2.9% plus 30 cents of the
transaction, provided your account originates from the United States. Outside the
United States, the fee for receiving money from a premier account is 3.9% plus 30
cents. If you receive over 1000 dollars over a 3 month period, you are eligible
to attain paypal merchant status, which reduces the percentage fee by 0.7%, i.e.
2.2% for premier (U.S) and 3.2% for premier (international). Once you upgrade your
account to premier status, you cannot downgrade the account back to personal.
What is PayPal and how does it work?
Paypal is an online payment system that facilitates the transfer of money from one
bank account to another. After signing up for an account at www.paypal.com and proceeding
through their easy verification process, you may send money to your Paypal account
from your bank account and begin to use to make purchases online from websites such
as amazon.com, eBay and of course our website. Paypal is one of the most widely
accepted electronic payment services used today to reliably, instantly and safely
move money between accounts worldwide.
How do I open an account in Paypal?
To open an account in Paypal, simply visit www.paypal.com. From there you can click
on the 'sign up' button and follow the registration process. Paypal has a user friendly
system to help new users create their accounts.
How do I verify my Paypal account?
The Paypal verification system is quite simple and easy. Once you have created your
Paypal account, you have the option to acquire verified status by completing a process
through your bank. After logging into your Paypal account, click the option that
says verify my account, and Paypal will give instructions on what to do next. Paypal
will make two small deposits into the bank account attached to your Paypal account
and they will request that you verify exactly the amounts that they have deposited.
After checking your bank records, simply enter the deposit amounts into the Paypal
query page and your account will then attain verified status.
What is a transaction ID? Where do I find it?
A transaction ID is term used to describe Paypal payments. Every time money is sent
or received through Paypal, the transaction is assigned its own individual transaction
ID. Transaction IDs are typically 16 digits long and contain both numbers and letters.
If you have a Paypal account, you may log in and review the transaction ID under
recent transactions. If you used a credit card, a confirmation email will be sent
to the e-mail address you provided while making the purchase.

On November 5, 1943, the 22nd Bomb Group was ordered to bomb strong enemy positions the Japanese had taken up after being driven out of their coastal bases that were blocking the advance of the 7th Australian Division in the rugged, heavily-forested mountains of New Guinea's upper Faria Valley, a tributary of the Markham River. Attacking below an undercast, and using only artillery smoke rounds to identify the target, 27 B-25s and B-26s saturated the area with over 400 hundred-pound bombs. The Australian "Diggers," who were then only 1500 yards from the target, then swept through the enemy positions with no resistance, reporting that the bombs struck every known enemy position in the area. For this feat, the 22nd was awarded a Distinguished Unit Citation. The painting depicts 2nd Squadron flight leaving the target. Below the tail of the nearest B-25D, OLE' TOMATO, smoke can be seen rising from the enemy positions. F/O Earl F. Larson was at the controls that day. This artwork is published in our book Revenge of the Red Raiders.

Requirement: College Composition (English C050, C051, H090, R050, or R090) and five designated Writing-Intensive courses.
The ability to use language properly, effectively, and persuasively is a basic skill needed throughout one's academic career and beyond. Developing students' writing ability is therefore an essential part of the Core Curriculum. Basic writing skills are the explicit focus of College Composition, an introductory course required of all students (except those exempted by placement testing) in the first semester in which they are eligible. Composition prepares students for university-level writing standards, and for the further development of their skills as they move into advanced work. It should be taken before any Writing-Intensive (W or X) course.
After Composition students take five Writing-Intensive courses. Two of those are Intellectual Heritage X051 or X091 and X052 or X092 (see the section on Intellectual Heritage). Another one is the designated writing capstone in the student's major. The remaining two courses may be required by the major or chosen by the student. In all Writing-Intensive courses, students learn the conventions and the kinds of writing used in the course's discipline. In many cases, students will submit first drafts and then revisions of their written work.
Some of the Writing-Intensive courses fulfill other Core requirements (X and some R courses), some are general electives, and others may be courses in the student's major. X and R courses are included in the lists of courses approved for the various Core areas. The list of Writing-Intensive courses that are not also in another Core area follows the sections on the Core areas.
All students take one advanced capstone Writing-Intensive course. Each department designates the capstone course(s) required for its majors, and these are identified in the list of Writing-Intensive courses. Students should check with their department's undergraduate adviser for further information on capstone courses.
NOTE: All students transferring into Temple must take at least two of their Writing-Intensive courses at Temple. Intellectual Heritage courses cannot be used to meet this transfer Writing requirement, except by students eligible for the 45+ Transfer Core who choose to take a second IH course, and students eligible for Core-to-Core Transfer.

Over the years, attorney Lawrence 'D' Pew has met with many worried individuals with spiraling debt problems. Even though they know that bankruptcy is the only way to put an end to bill collection, garnishment, repossession, foreclosure, and creditor lawsuits, many people still feel embarrassed, ashamed, or humiliated. Many feel they have failed themselves and their families. As though the national economy is their fault and they are the only ones who need to file for protection from creditors under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. But that could not be further from the truth, and the truth is in the numbers.
National bankruptcy statistics reflect a worsening economy with bankruptcy filings increasing steadily almost everywhere in the country. In particular, Arizona's bankruptcy statistics for the past several years mirror a continuing slowdown, an economy that has left many residents no other option than to file for debt relief through bankruptcy.
2007 Bankruptcy – Arizona Statistics
Total Bankruptcy Arizona Filings: 10,920.
Consumer Filings: 10,441 or 95.61% were consumer debtors.
Percent of Consumer Filings: 95.61%
Break Down of Consumer Debtors: Chapter 7 made up 78%; Chapter 13 made up 22%.
Per Capita Filings: 1.72 per 1000 people.
Rank: 40th among the states.
2008 Bankruptcy – Arizona Statistics
Total Bankruptcy Arizona Filings: 19,532.
Consumer Filings: 18,463 or 94.53% were consumer debtors.
Break Down of Consumer Debtors: Chapter 7 made up 81%; Chapter 13 made up 19%.
Per Capita Filings: 3.02 per 1000 people.
Rank: 29th among the states.
2009 Bankruptcy – Arizona Statistics
Total Bankruptcy Arizona Filings: 34,637.
Consumer Filings: 33,022 or 95.34% were consumer debtors.
Break Down of Consumer Debtors: Chapter 7 made up 83%; Chapter 13 made up 17%.
Per Capita Filings: 5.22 per 1000 people.
Rank: 15th among the states.
2010 Bankruptcy – Arizona Statistics
Total Bankruptcy Arizona Filings: 42,829.
Consumer Filings: 41,193 or 96.18% were consumer debtors.
2011 Bankruptcy – Arizona Statistics
First and Second Quarter Bankruptcy Arizona Filings: 18,726.
What should take from these statistics? If you have debt problems that are solvable only through bankruptcy, you are not alone! Although your circumstances are certainly unique and require careful evaluation by the Pew Law Center for the best bankruptcy solution – Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13 – you are not an isolated case. In the first six months of 2011, thousands of people suffering with long-term financial hardship have filed for bankruptcy protection in Arizona alone!

Seven seamen were hospitalized with injuries. The explosion, apparently in the torpedo compartment, ripped open Ihe 217-foot submarine and sank it. More than six hours after the disaster an admiralty spokesman said: "It will be announced shortly in the House of Commons that we must abandon any hope of saving any of the 13." The spokesman said the Sidon was alongside a supply ship taking on dummy torpedoes in preparation for sailing when the blast shattered the hull. The explosion was believed caused by the propellant charge he said. "The blast reached as far as the control room. The lights were extinguished. The submarine was filled with smoke and debris. Furniture and loose fittings jammed the forward bulkhead doors. The explosion occurred in Ihe torpedo comparlment, the spokesman said.

"No 1 contract, no' 1 work" rocoiSK? mendations were telegraphed • to locals in 18 ports by the CIO 'National Maritime Union aftefc a breakoff of contract negotjatibns, The union call affected passenger ships — including transatlantic liners— dry cargo vessels and tankers. NMU members are seamen and other unlicensed personnej. Members of three other unions, embracing officers and other licensed personnel on the ships sailing from ports on Ihe East arid Gulf coasts, also were left without contracts at Ihe midnight expiration. Spokesmen for these three unions were not available for coni- ment after the paUcrn-making NMU sent out its call, but it was likely that they also would stand by their traditional "no contract, no work" policy. Work stoppages by the • 33,000 members of the four unions would affect .approximately 1,000 ships— about half the American merchant fleet. Disagreement over union demands on an unemployment insurance fund led to the work stoppage recommendations. Contract negotiations between the four unions and two employer groups had been going on for weeks, and federal mediators stepped in last night. No further talks were scheduled. When NMU negotialions with the two employer groups broke down, a spokesman for the AFL Interna- lional Organizalion of Masters, Mates and Pilots said the effect would be that "no ships will sail."

FA chief Greg Clarke 'ashamed' that gay players do not feel safe to come out
By Lyall Thomas
Last Updated: 21/08/17 4:51pm
FA chairman Greg Clarke says he is "personally ashamed" that gay football players do not feel safe to come out.
Facing questions from the Culture, Media and Sport select committee of MPs, Clarke insisted the environment of football could not guarantee gay players would not receive abuse from supporters.
Clarke admitted he is aware of at least two gay players in the Premier League, one of them an England international, who had expressed a desire to come out last season, but never did.
On the same day an investigation was launched into allegations of Luton supporters shouting homophobic abuse at Leyton Orient, Clarke said he is determined to stamp this "abhorrent" behaviour out of the game.
"I would be amazed if we haven't got gay players in the Premier League and I am personally ashamed they don't feel safe to come out," Clarke said.
"I think what we have in football is a cross-section of society. When you get a sample size of four million - 10 per cent of the population - they tend to trend towards mainstream society. But there is a very, very small minority who hurl vile abuse at people they perceive to be different.
"There was an example at the weekend. There were allegations at Leyton Orient versus Luton, that the Luton fans were hurling homophobic abuse at a group of men they perceived to be gay. That behaviour is disgusting and I am absolutely determined we stamp it out.
"Our job is to identify anybody guilty of persecuting, in any way, members of an ethnic or gender minority - because women get abuse too - and come down like a tonne of bricks and make sure these kinds of abhorrent behaviour are driven out."
Justin Fashanu was the first openly gay footballer, coming out in 1990, but he was subjected to a torrent of abuse from fellow players and supporters, leading to his eventual suicide in 1998.
Former Aston Villa player Thomas Hitzlsperger waited until his retirement to disclose he was gay, while former USA international Robbie Rogers came out in 2013 after leaving Leeds United.
Clarke said: "One of the questions we have is; if you have a son who is gay and plays top level football, would you encourage him to come out with the expectation of abuse he is going to get?
"I watched David Beckham get vile abuse for dating a pop star years ago, and it made me sick to my stomach. If it was a gay man, why would I expose myself to that? If a player came out now there would be significant abuse because I don't think we have cracked the problem yet.
"I know what it is [the reason they don't come out]. Before we encourage people to do that we must create the safe space where they can expect to be respected, and not be abused."
