Kansas also ranks third in the NCAA in total offense, fourth in scoring offense, and fifth in passing offense.
Yes, it sure seems a great time to be a Jayhawk as No. 17 (AP) KU heads
into Boulder for a matchup with Colorado (1-4) this Saturday at 6 p.m.
(CT) on FSN.
However, on the flip side, KU is coming off a horrendous defensive
outing against Iowa State, where the Jayhawks gave up a whopping 512
yards of total offense. Some pessimistic KU fans even wondered if the
'Hawks could win another game in the tough Big 12.
But rest assured, Kansas coach Mark Mangino believes his defense is
fixable and will rise to the challenge in Boulder.
"I think we will rebound nicely and our defense will be able to feel a
lot better about the direction we are going," Mangino said.
He's working on simplifying schemes that fit his personnel.
"I feel like we just need to play to our players' strengths," Mangino
said. "I think in some areas we need to just have them do what they do
best ... I think more than anything, we, as coaches, have to
know what our players are capable of doing and do that. We have a lot
of good things in our package, but we have to do only what our players
can do."
Mangino also stressed the need for better tackling and communication on
I don't think (the players) tell each other much what is
going on," Mangino said. "We are going to get our calls out sooner,
when it is needed. That is something, strategically, you do not want to
do all the time, but when it is needed, we'll try to get our calls out
sooner to give them a chance to get lined up and talk to each other."
If the defense can elevate its game, KU could be unbeatable with its
high-powered offense. The Jayhawks racked up 34 first downs and 551
yards of total offense against Iowa State, including 442 passing yards
by Todd Reesing.
KU hopes to continue to attack against the Buffaloes, who are coming
off a 38-14 loss at Texas. However, CU led No. 2 Texas 14-10 at
halftime. Colorado's lone victory this season came against Wyoming at
home (24-0) on Sept. 19.
"Colorado is a good football team at home," Mangino said. "They always
play well in Boulder and we understand the challenge there."
The Buffaloes will be starting a new quarterback with sophomore Tyler
Hansen taking over for the head coach's (Dan Hawkins) son, junior Cody
Hawkins. However, Hawkins will likely see action as well.
"He's still going to have a role, and I think there is a very good
chance you could see both of them," coach Dan Hawkins said on Tuesday.
"They will both be ready to go."
Hansen has played in just one game this year, completing three of five
passes for 17 yards.
"We know that Tyler Hansen is similar in the passing game to Cody
Hawkins in a lot of ways," Mangino said. "They share a lot of the same
characteristics. Obviously, [Hansen] is a little bit faster. Maybe a
little quicker, better athlete, which brings a new dimension to their
offense in running."
Mangino added "they can be stellar at times" on defense, though the
Buffs are allowing 389.6 yards of total offense per game. CU actually
gave up 54 points at Toledo in its second game on Sept. 11.
KU, though, doesn't seem to be overlooking the Buffs before heading
into its big showdown with Oklahoma on Oct. 24 in Lawrence.
"It's going to be tough to go to Boulder and pull out a victory there,"
said freshman running back Toben Opurum, who may get another starting
nod with the injured Jake Sharp a game-day decision.
"A win at Colorado would be big for us."
Expect KU to march forward to 6-0 if the defense takes care of
business. Like Mangino, senior nickelback Justin Thornton believes
Kansas will rebound just fine on defense after its poor outing against
"We know that we can be a good defense," Thornton said. "(Iowa State
was) definitely a wake-up call for us and we're going to make some
changes and try and get things fixed. I promise we won't turn in a
performance like that the rest of the year."

This season, I made it a priority to educate myself on the basics of canning, pickling, fermenting, and food preserving. Thankfully, I was able to put my knowledge to work when I finally confronted a boiling-water canner and my Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. My parting thoughts after this first brush with home canning? It's not as hard as it sounds, and once you get the rhythm of it, it can be well worth the effort. My advice for those new to jarring: start with a project, such as this one, that isn't too complicated. To see how I canned whole tomatoes in their own juice, keep reading.
Join The Conversation
Me too! Talk about nostalgia. One of my grandmothers had a HUGE garden and was a canning fiend. As a wee fuzzle, I loved fetching stuff for her from the rows upon rows of pretty labeled glass jars on the many cellar shelves. Talk about farm to table!
I am going to have to try canning and you made it look so easy!

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/131,701 filed May 18, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,284,390, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Household refrigerators generally come in three structural styles: (1) a side-by-side model wherein the freezer and refrigerator compartments are side by side; (2) a top mount model wherein the freezer compartment is located above the refrigerator compartment; and (3) a bottom mount model wherein the freezer compartment is mounted below the refrigerator compartment. An icemaker is normally provided in the freezer compartment of all three models. A door mounted ice dispenser is often provided in a side-by-side refrigerator and in a top mount refrigerator so that a person can add ice to a glass without opening the freezer or refrigerator door. However, a door mounted ice dispenser normally is not been provided in bottom mount refrigerators, since the freezer door is too low, and there are difficulties in transporting ice from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment which precludes a dispenser in the refrigerator compartment door. However, it is desirable to have an ice dispenser in the refrigerator compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,735,959 issued to Najewicz discloses a thermoelectric icemaker placed within the fresh food compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator that may be dispensed through the fresh food door. Najewicz forms ice within the fresh food compartment using the thermoelectric icemaker even though the compartment is above a freezing temperature. Although Najewicz provides for a duct that runs from the freezer compartment to the thermoelectric icemaker, the cold air from the duct is used to remove heat from the thermoelectric icemaker. Najewicz has many problems that must be overcome in order to be practical including the removal of unfrozen water, rapid ice body formation, prolonged ice storage, etc. The present invention overcomes these problems.
A primary objective of the present invention is the provision of a bottom mount refrigerator having an ice dispenser in the door of the refrigerator compartment.
A further objective of the present invention is the provision of a bottom mount refrigerator having an icemaking compartment in the refrigerator compartment.
A further objective of the present invention is the provision of a bottom mount refrigerator having an icemaker in the refrigerator compartment.
Another objective of the present invention is the provision of an icemaker in the refrigerator compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator, with a cold air duct to provide air from the freezer compartment to the icemaker.
Still another objective of the present invention is the provision of an icemaker in the refrigerator compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator having efficient and timely icemaking capacity.
These and other objectives will become apparent from the following description of the invention.
The bottom mount refrigerator of the present invention has an icemaker within an insulated icemaking compartment in the refrigerator compartment. Cold air is supplied to the icemaking compartment from the freezer compartment via a cold air duct. A return air duct extends from the icemaking compartment to the freezer compartment. The icemaking compartment also includes a vent opening for venting air to the refrigerator compartment. A fan draws or forces air through the duct from the freezer compartment to the icemaking compartment. The temperature in the ice making compartment is between 0� F. to 32� F., which is colder than the temperature of the refrigerator compartment, but not as cold as the freezer compartment. The icemaking compartment is preferably located in an upper corner of the refrigerator compartment. The door of the refrigerator compartment includes an ice dispenser to supply ice to a person without opening the refrigerator compartment door. The door may include an ice bin for storing ice from the icemaker.
A bottom mount refrigerator is generally designated in the drawings by the reference numeral 10. The refrigerator 10 includes a refrigerator or fresh food compartment 12 and a freezer compartment 14. Doors 16 are provided for the refrigerator compartment or fresh food compartment 12 and a door 18 is provided for the freezer compartment 14. One of the doors 16 includes an ice dispenser 20, which may also include a water dispenser.
An icemaking compartment or intermediate compartment 22 is provided in the refrigerator compartment 12. The icemaking compartment 22 is shown to be in one of the upper corners of the refrigerator compartment 12, but other locations are also within the scope of this invention. The icemaking compartment 22 has a front cover 23 that is insulated to prevent the cold air of the icemaking compartment 22 from passing into the refrigerator compartment and opening 21 is provided that mates with chute 19 of the ice dispenser 20. A seal may be provided between the opening 21 and chute 19 to prevent cold air from passing from the icemaking compartment to the refrigerator compartment 12. Additionally, the flipper door that operates by a solenoid may be placed at the opening 21 to prevent cold air from leaving the icemaking compartment 22 and entering into the refrigerator compartment. Preferably, the icemaking compartment 22 includes a conventional icemaker that forms ice in an environment that is below freezing. Other types of icemakers can be utilized.
The icemaking compartment 22 may be integrally formed adjacent the refrigerator compartment 12 during the liner forming process and insulation filling process. Alternatively, the icemaking compartment 22 may be made remote from the fresh food compartment and slid into the refrigerator compartment 12 by overhead rails (not shown) or other mounting.
The refrigerator 10 includes an evaporator 24 which cools the refrigerator compartment 12 and the freezer compartment 14. Normally, the refrigerator compartment 12 will be maintained between 34-40� F. and the freezer compartment 14 will be maintained at approximately 0� F. The icemaking compartment is maintained at a temperature of 32� F. or less in order to form ice, but is not as cold as the freezer compartment 14. The walls of the icemaking compartment are insulated to facilitate temperature control. Grates or air vents 26 are provided in the wall 28 between the refrigerator compartment 12 and the freezer compartment 14 to allow air circulation between the compartments.
A cold air duct 30 extends between the freezer compartment 14 and the icemaking compartment 22. More particularly, the cold air duct 30 has a lower air inlet 32 within the freezer compartment 14 and an upper outlet end 34 connected to a fan 36 mounted on the back wall of the icemaker 22. The fan 36 draws cold air from the freezer compartment and forces the cold air into the icemaker 22 so as to facilitate icemaking. It is understood that the fan 36 may be located at the inlet end 32 of the cold air duct 30. The fan 36 controls the air flow from the freezer compartment 14 to the icemaking compartment 22 and may be a variable speed fan. The fan is actuated by conventional means. The cold air duct 30 preferably resides within the rear wall of the refrigerator 10, as seen in
The refrigerator 10 also includes a return air duct 38 having an upper end 40 connected to the icemaker 22, and a lower end 42 terminating adjacent one of the air grates 26. Alternatively, the lower end 42 of the return air duct 38 may extend into the freezer compartment 14. Preferably, the return air duct 38 resides within the rear wall of the refrigerator 10, as seen in
The icemaking compartment 22 also has an air vent for discharging air into the refrigerator compartment 14. Thus, a portion of the air from the icemaking compartment 22 is directed through the return air duct 38 to the freezer compartment 14, as indicated by arrow 43 in
As seen in
As seen in
A control system is provided that utilizes the icemaking compartment 22, the cold air supply duct 30, the return air duct 38, the variable speed icemaking fan 36, icemaking impingement air duct 52, an icemaking compartment thermistor (not shown), an icemaking compartment electronic control damper, fresh food air return ducts 26, and a fresh food compartment thermistor (not shown). The above components are controlled by an algorithm that prioritizes the making of ice unless the fresh food temperature exceeds the set point temperature. This prioritization is achieved as follows:
The above control system permits precision control of both the icemaking compartment 22 and the refrigeration compartment 12 separately, yet minimizes the complexity and the number of component parts necessary to do so.
A thermoelectric unit (not shown) may replace the impingement duct 52 with some concessions. Preferably the thermoelectric unit would contour about the icemaker as it effectively pulls heat out of the water. Additionally, the thermoelectric unit would require a heat sink outside of the icemaking compartment 22 to dissipate heat. A careful balance is required between the voltage of the thermoelectric unit and the temperature of the refrigerator compartment 12 if the heat sink is in the refrigerator compartment 12. For example, the higher the voltage, the more heat will be generated that will be required to be removed from the refrigerator compartment 12. A portion of the heat generated by the thermoelectric unit may be removed by venting freezer compartment air to the thermoelectric unit.
Applicant's co-pending provisional application, Ser. No. 60/613,241 filed Sep. 27, 2004 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. This application and the provisional application both relate to a refrigerator with a bottom mount freezer and an icemaking compartment for making ice at a location remote from the freezer.
The invention has been shown and described above with the preferred embodiments, and it is understood that many modifications, substitutions, and additions may be made which are within the intended spirit and scope of the invention. From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention accomplishes at least all of its stated objectives.

Hey guys,
So I know I haven't posted anything for a while. My writer's block is still going on strong, but I managed to get an Idea, involving my internet persona. Of course, it's kinda awkward that the creepypasta villain will have my name "Havoc" and simillar descriptions to my profile picture. I have no other ideas, and my previous idea of a possible lost episode faded. So I'm gonna give this attempt a try; maybe something will come out of it.
I did not end up going hunting with my uncle, or going to comic-con with my cousin sadly. Things came up and they just couldn't go. My cousin couldn't afford tickets, Something came up at work for my uncle, etc.
I've grown a lot closer to some friends online, and frankly... I forgot how we even got this close... I mean the first time we ever met, we were complete strangers acting really weird, and next thing you know, we instantly know everything about each other, and trust each other completely... Now, I know what you're thinking "how can you trust someone across the internet with so much information, they could be lunatics" but these guys are just plain awesome. They make my day instantly better, no matter what I've been through.
It's like a daily ritual... we talk almost every day, be it jokes, life, games, anime, shows, etc. I've grown really close to these people, we've skyped, we know how everyone in the group looks like, and we've become so close that it's kinda odd how I trust them more than anyone actually here. I'm really glad I met them, and they're like family. Kinda odd to think about complete strangers from across the world as family, but when you get this close; it's an amazing relationship.
I'm not sure if I've mentioned before, but I've hit a stage where nothing bothers me anymore. There are a few things that changed, some that I'd rather not mention as they could be embarassing; and some people from my school know my account, and it isn't exactly safe to blog all my thoughts anymore... However, I've changed in a sense where I don't care about anything anymore. School work is no important matter, insults don't offend, ass holes waste their time trying to get to me, and I just walk around blandly without a single fuck to give.
It feels awesome to be honest, but it also has its downsides. I've also become braver in a sense where I can say whatever the hell I want without fear of being silenced by the rude people in my class anymore. Keep in mind, I'd always been put down in school by others, so for me; it's a pretty big achievement. However, people mistake this sudden change to be resistant and rebellious.
They claim I think I am above everybody, and pay no mind to rules or activities I need to follow. As you can tell... I don't give a crap about what they say either... However, I'd like to clarify, and say that it isn't true. I'm just less likely to be offended by rudeness or mistreatment; and I'll most likely stand up for myself now.
I still have a lazy attitude though, I'm not proud of it, but it continues to grow into my very being. I feel like I'm time's bitch right now... I don't claim I have it bad just yet, as college students and other time consumed people are worse off... I mean I've got tons of stuff to do, and many places to be at one time... not to mention that my parents are enforcing the fact that I have to sleep early, since I wake up at five every morning to go to swimming practice (WHICH IS A HUGE PAIN)
Then when I finally get home from tutoring and my mom driving around doing things, what little left of my personal time is taken up by homework or passing out in exhaustion. I'm becoming a damn sloth, I'm falling asleep in class too; and leaving everything to the last minute because I just cant stay awake or much less move from a couch or bed. I'm basically a walking zombie... If I don't fix this; It'll probably get worse when things get serious like heading to college and managing for my own.
I still have these weird moods and inexplicably weird dreams. Still beyond my understanding; I've even tried researching what it could be, but it all just leads to some bull crap on WebMD. Parents say it's hormones... testosterone... etc.
I want to say otherwise, but at the moment... it's really all the answers I've got at the moment. Anyways, with that update put aside; you can expect at least one creepypasta from me soon, and hopefully it actually is good. I do have to admit that my recent one "A month of rain" probably had good potential, but it was written in the peak of my writer's block... so it was hastily written and not enough thought was put into it... it's kinda crappy... My aunt says it's really good, but I think she's just sugar coating it... I'll try to do better with my newest one and take my time...
That's all for now -Havoc

There are many meals which can be served as appetizers, but there isn't a specific category that defines them all. The wide range of plants (with edible roots), exotic fruits and meat, cereals and meat mixtures offer numerous combinations. The fufu or foo-foo is a traditional dish that has the consistency of mashed potatoes or polenta and it served with stews, like egusi or different soups. The recipe includes root vegetables, like yams, cocoyam and cassava, but fufu can also be prepared out of grains and plantains. Plantains are also consumed as an appetizer, when they are prepared fried, as chips (very green plantains, sliced very thin and fried in vegetable oil). Other vegetables that represent the West African cuisine are made of rice, peanuts (like the Bambara groundnut and the housa groundnut), root vegetables (yams, cocoyam, sweet potatoes and cassava), but also fruits, like citrus ones, mangos and pineapples.

Stellarvue F80M 13X80 Finder Scope - Matte Black
Are you ready for this top of the line finder scope? It's a telescope on its own! The Stellarvue F80M 13X80 Finder Scope weighs in at only 2.5 pounds, that gives you a full 80mm of aperture in a finder that is half the weight of an 80mm telescope. Can you imagine a finder scope that provides stunning wide field views that actually shows detail in deep sky objects?!
The Stellarvue F80M 13X80 Finder Scope starts with a high precision, fully multi-coated 80mm clear aperture F4 objective. Move back into the internally baffled tube to stop internal reflections. At the end is a rotating back to allow for adjustable eyepiece positioning comfort, a fully multi-coated correct image erecting prism, and 1.25" helical focuser. But that's not all... The Stellarvue F80M 13X80 Finder Scope also comes with an E3023R fully multi-coated eyepiece with a focusing glass reticule that is easier to see than fine crosshair reticules.
Several mounting ring systems are available allowing for easy attachment to nearly every telescope on the market today. Just check under our Accessories tab for the mount that's right for your telescope and the optional Rigel PulseGuide Illuminator. Stellarvue takes pride in its products and each finderscope is made individually and thoroughly tested before it is approved for sale.

- Great finder and spotting scope
- I bought this scope few years back, it is an excellent finder, makes easy to read the sky and to follow the charts very accurate. For terrestrial view it is excellent with a 25 or 20 mm eyepiece, it's very short F, I believe it is 300mm to which it makes about an F3.75, makes it difficult for the use of a eyepiece shorter than 15 mm, with very bright objects tend to produce a clear astigmatism, which is not much noticeable with stars fainter that 8mag. It is great as a finder scope, and as spotting scope, as a rich acromat is short in quality image for the above mentioned astigmatism.
- Stellarvue F80 Finder – A Versatile Performer
Can a well-engineered and executed 80mm finderscope serve multiple duties as a finder, RFT (Rich Field Telescope, and grab-and-go scope? In short, the answer is: yes, yes, and yes.
Upgrading to a 80mm finder was initially based on the premise that it could be used as both a finder and RFT. At 2.5 times greater light grasp in contrast to the 50mm finder (140X that of the human eye, the larger aperture should provide a significantly more fulfilling experience when gazing rich star fields and viewing large DSOs.
Upon opening the box, I was pleased with the fit and finish of the F80 finder, and the glass was pristine.
At about 2.5 lbs., the F80 is heavier than the Stellarvue F50 it replaced and I hoped I would not have to counterbalance my Celestron NexStar 9.25" GPS telescope. This scope model is designed to be rear-heavy, and when the finder was mounted, no balance issues were realized and the go-to accuracy remains spot-on. I suspect the more forward positioning of the longer OTA and larger objective assembly compensates for the increased overall weight – balance-wise.
In contrast to the reticle on the F50 finder, the supplied 23mm eyepiece on the F80 provides a separate reticle adjustment to bring the crosshairs into focus.
The supplied eyepiece also supports Stellarvue's optional Rigel Pulse Guide Illuminator. Should one not opt for the illuminator, there is a flexible plastic/rubber piece that ships with the finder to protect the threads and keep ambient light out of the eyepiece. This plug reminds me of the F50 objective lens cap – it's there, but not to be trusted. A trip to Ace Hardware unearthed a rubber license plate bumper found in the "parts bins" (part # RBA-XM that fills the bill beautifully at around $1 and looks "stock."
The helical focuser affords exceptionally fine adjustment and all of my 1.25" eyepieces ranging from 5mm to 40mm of various designs come to focus. And, the ability to rotate the back end assembly (diagonal/focuser, & eyepiece is a nice feature for use during public star parties. Sometimes even a step stool isn't high enough to allow youngsters to view large asterisms such as the Coathanger when positioned lower in the sky. Simply rotate the back assembly and the eyepiece becomes immediately more accessible.
How functional is the F80? As a finder, the F80 performs beautifully. As an RTF when mounted on the telescope, it delivers views well beyond the capability of the F50. I also purchased a separate base and have it mounted on a tripod. This allows the F80 to effectively be used as a grab-and-go scope and I even temporarily mount a red dot finder on it to greatly enhance the ability to locate specific targets. For fans of Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas, the F80's 3.8 degree FOV nearly matches a 4-degree Telrad overlay ring – a very handy coincidence.
I also crafted a solar filter using Baader film and use the F80 as a solar finder for my solar filter protected telescope. Finding the Sun is now child's play.
How does the F80 perform? When grab-and-go mounted, from the back of the La Posada Hotel (near town center in Winslow, AZ, on Route 66 (Eagles song fame, NGC 253 and 288 resolved beautifully and fit into the same FOV. As a solar scope this past January, I viewed remnants of the believed-to-be decaying, once-giant sunspot 978 – deemed to be visually "not very impressive" on the eastern limb at the time. Cool!
In early November'08, Jupiter's Io & Ganymede moons were visually sub-minute apart, and were clearly separated as distinct pinpoints of light viewed through the finder's supplied eyepiece. When mounted as a finder, the Veil Nebula was a most impressive sight when a 2" UHC filter was held to the eyepiece
Bottom line: The F80 delivers as expected and I am very pleased with its performance.
Clear skies.

- Questions & Answers
Product QuestionsTwo questions:
1. Does the scope come with a tripod mounting socket?
2. Is it compatible with binoviewers?Question by: michael graham on Jul 20, 2015 5:39:00 PMUnfortunately, no on both counts. You will need to purchase an optional set of rings to mount this finder on top of your telescope (or arguably a camera tripod). Additionally, binoviewers will not reach focus with this scope as it was designed as a finderscope - not a primary telescope.Answer by: Chris Hendren on Jul 27, 2015 10:57:00 AMCan this finder be mounted on a Celestron 6SE? If so, what mounting accessories would I need to purchase? ThanksQuestion by: Dan Stro on Jan 8, 2016 9:09:00 AMYes you can. You will need to replace the shoe that comes with the scope. There are a couple of things you will have to get along with the finder to make if work on your C6. Frist is a OS-VFS shown in the link below.
The other thing you will need to get is a couple flat head machine screws from your local hardware store. I believe the size that you would need is m4. Just make sure the screws are not too long. You do not want the screws to go into deep and hit your primary mirror.Answer by: Jonathan Cheek (Admin) on Jan 8, 2016 3:36:00 PMCan this scope be used as a guide scope? And what would be issues with if you can?
Is the focal length 300mm?
What is the f stop?
I have a sct scope. I was looking at the rings for a sct. Can that set of rings be put on a vixen mount for a grab and go?Question by: Glen on Jan 22, 2017 2:21:00 PMYes, you can use this as a guide scope, though you may need heavier duty rings than the ones for mounting the SV finder to a scope. The SV quick release dovetail is not compatible with a Vixen plate, so you will need to use a different mounting solution to use this on its own.Answer by: Chris Hendren (Admin) on Jan 30, 2017 2:35:00 PMhi there what additional items would i need to mount this finder scope onto a celestron cgem 9.25 hd telescope. regards chris murphy JPQuestion by: murph on Sep 14, 2014 10:16:08 PMYou would need the SV-R80S bracket to attach this finder to any SCT between 8-14" http://www.optcorp.com/sv-r80s-r80s-80mm-finder-rings-for-sct.html.Answer by: Chris (Admin) on Sep 17, 2014 8:28:40 AM

text: Compliance Plaintiffs In SafeWay ERISA Lawsuit Establish Standing Just one out of a number of allegations included in two ERISA lawsuits against SafeWay have been ruled untimely, allowing both cases to proceed. By John Manganaro firstname.lastname@example.com | March 20, 2017 Page 1 of 3 View Full Article A judge has rejected motions to dismiss two Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Lorenz v. Safeway and Terraza v. SafeWay.The cases have a lot of similarities, but Lorenz received a slightly subtler ruling that, strictly speaking, actually granted in part and denied in part SafeWay's motion to dismiss. Background included in case documents offers extensive detail about the investment and revenue sharing fee agreements at question, reached first with J.P. Morgan Retirement Planning Services and later continued with Great-West.In the underlying complaint, plaintiff Lorenz alleges that the Safeway defendants "breached their fiduciary duty of prudence by selecting funds that charged higher fees than comparable, readily-available funds, and which had no meaningful record of performance so as to indicate that higher performance would offset this difference in fees; and entering into and maintaining a revenue-sharing agreement with the plan's recordkeepers … that resulted in excessive compensation to those entities."Further, Lorenz claims that the "revenue-sharing agreement constituted a prohibited transaction under ERISA for which the Safeway defendants (as fiduciaries) and Great-West (as a party in interest) are both liable."Lorenz seeks "reimbursement from the Safeway defendants for all losses resulting from their breaches of fiduciary duty, as well as reimbursement from both the Safeway defendants and Great-West for any compensation received as a result of transactions prohibited by ERISA." He further "seeks to certify a class of "all participants in any employee benefit plan governed by ERISA who invested in the JPM Smartretire Passiveblend Funds from 2011 to the present where JPMRPS/Great-West served as the recordkeeper for the plan and received an asset-based revenue sharing payment in connection with the JPM Smartretire Passiveblend Funds." He also "proposes a Safeway Subclass, which would include "all participants in the plan who invested in any of the JPM Smartretire Passiveblend Funds from the time these funds were first offered by the Plan in 2011 until they ceased to be offered in the Plan in July 2016."NEXT: Motion to dismiss proves partially successful Prev1 23Next View Full Article Tagged: Fees, Litigation, related articles related research most e-mailed UpFrontManaged Accounts Mature From plansponsor.com Asset-Based Fees Questioned in Nationwide ERISA ChallengePSNC 2017: Improving Your Plan Through the RFP Process Plan Sponsor Opportunity as Asset Managers Shift Asset Managers Reacting to Passive Investing ShiftSponsors May Soon See New Share Class Recommendations District Court Moves Ahead On Oracle 401(k) Challenge UpFrontManaged Accounts Mature From plansponsor.com 2017 Recordkeeping Survey2017 Defined Benefit Administration Survey2016 PLANSPONSOR DC Survey: Plan Benchmarking2016 Defined Contribution Survey2016 Third–Party Administrator Buyer's Guide2016 PLANSPONSOR Stock Plan Administration Buyer's Guide UpFrontManaged Accounts Mature From plansponsor.com Guidelines for Keeping HSAs Not Subject to ERISAA Look at Proposals to Shore Up Social SecurityMany Employees Would Choose Student Loan Assistance Over 401kLongevity Annuities Can Improve DC Plan Participant Retirement WealthAICPA Proposes Framework for Valuation of Certain Financial Instruments go to news topic

Carboxypeptidase M, also known as CPM, is a membrane-bound arginine/lysine carboxypeptidase which is a member of the carboxypeptidases family. These enzymes remove C-terminal amino acids from peptides and proteins and exert roles in the physiological processes of blood coagulation/fibrinolysis, inflammation, food digestion and pro-hormone and neuropeptide processing. Among the carboxypeptidases CPM is of particular importance because of its constitutive expression in an active form at the surface of specialized cells and tissues in the human body. CPM in the brain appears to be membrane-bound via a phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor. CPM is widely distributed in a variety of tissues and cells. The amino acid sequence of CPM indicated that the C-terminal hydrophobic region might be a signal for membrane attachment via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. CPM is involved in peptide metabolism on both the cell surface and in extracellular fluids. CPM functions not only as a protease but also as a binding partner in cell-surface protein-protein interactions.

While the Vikings have been an exception in terms of getting fans to come to preseason games, many NFL stadiums are half-filled when winning and losing doesn't count in the final standings. No doubt the move into TCF Bank Stadium will increase interest in fan attendance for preseason games, since the Vikings haven't played a home preseason game outdoors in more than 30 years.
But the best news for Vikings fans is that their fans will be able to get inside the stadium cheaper than any other fans in the NFL.
When it comes to regular season ticket prices, the Vikings are in the middle of the pack, but when it comes to the preseason at TCF Bank Stadium, the Vikings have the lowest average price for a ticket in the league – by a pretty wide margin.
The average price for the Raiders and Cardinals games at The Bank will be just $27, which is well below the average of the next lowest teams – the Cleveland Browns ($32.71) and the Buffalo Bills ($32.94).
On the other end of the spectrum are the most expensive. Houston Texans fans have to throw out an average ticket price of $132 for their two preseason games, followed by the New York Giants ($124.45) and the New England Patriots ($110.43).
While preseason games are often a hard sell for even hard-core fans, the Vikings will have two important factors going in their favor when it comes to packing The Bank during their two preseason games. First, they have the cheapest ticket prices in the NFL. Second, fans who want the outdoor football experience are only going to have 20 opportunities (barring home playoff games) before the Vikings move into their permanent indoor home.
The combination of those two could easily result in sellouts at TCF in the preseason and give fans who may not be able to see regular season or postseason games during the next two years the opportunity to be a part of a short-lived experience that a lot of fans will be able to say they did at least once in their lifetime.
Welcome to outdoor football, Vikings fans. And, for those who want to see it in August, you can do so on the cheap.
