The Pan European Game Information Website (PEGI) now offers age guidelines for Rage: The Scorchers, which sounds like it may be DLC for id Software's latest first-person shooter. This is listed as coming from ZeniMax Europe Limited/Bethesda Softworks Europe, and all it says is: "The content of this game is suitable for persons aged 18 years and over only. It contains: Extreme violence - Strong language This game allows the player to interact with other players ONLINE." There is also a June 14th, 2012 release date, which is obviously not accurate.

10 Qualities Make T.O. as Relevant as Ever
Randy York's N-Sider
Last week, Forbes Magazine published a major article that separates the dreamers from the entrepreneurs, and the bottom line was this: However you see yourself and whatever age you may be, you have to remind yourself of the leader you are and of the leader you would like to become. The contributing writer then credits research for defining the top 10 qualities that every good leader should possess and learn to emphasize. As I read through all 10 qualities, I realized something important: At age 75, Tom Osborne, who will retire as Nebraska's athletic director on Jan. 1, meets the criteria for every quality. To me, that makes him as relevant in his retirement as he ever was as a teacher, a coach, a Congressman or an athletic director. Using past columns and current blogs, The N-Sider has decided to define Osborne's relevance in each of the following 10 up-to-date categories:
This principle is easy to reinforce because John Wooden helped guide Osborne as both a coach and a man. I had the privilege to interview both legendary leaders in the same week nearly three years ago and learned why they were friends and in philosophical alignment. Both are very open about their faith. Both have a great ability to listen and care about others. Both believe that honesty is critical to be successful as teachers, coaches and mentors – roles both embraced with all of their heart and soul. Don't just take my word for it though. Read an account from Omaha 4½ years ago when Huskers honored Osborne and called him The 'Ultimate Boy Scout' because he's all about duty, service and honesty, not to mention his penchant to "Be Prepared" in every daily task he takes on.
There was a purpose behind my calling Osborne the dean of Nebraska's 'Fortunate 500'. Coach Osborne doesn't just write books about lessons in leadership and life. He lives by the same wisdom he writes about. He's the kind of leader who stays inside the box when it's the right thing to do, but he's more than willing to go outside the box when he thinks it's required. The way he's resurrected Nebraska's athletic facilities is testimony to his leadership. With systematic innovation, he's led the charge to build the new Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex and, at the same time, give Nebraska football and basketball extreme makeovers. His leadership also has benefited almost every other sport with meaningful improvements that enhance recruiting. He hasn't done it by himself. He's done it through his innate ability to delegate.
I wish all Nebraska fans could have seen and heard Osborne when he was the keynote speaker for one last legendary breakfast in Omaha. Some attendees have been listening to Osborne speak at such breakfasts for more than four decades. Others saw him for the first time. All connected with every word he said. Again, don't take my word for it. Consider the kudos that came from current Nebraska male and female student-athletes earlier this month when they saluted their athletic director during Finals Week. Björn Barrefors, the 2012 Big Ten Conference decathlon champion, is destined to become the first Nebraska student-athlete to receive Academic All-American recognition four times during his career. "Coach Osborne has been so inspiring for me that I want to become more like him," Barrefors told me. "He always does exactly what he says he's going to do. He does that better than anyone else I've ever seen or met. What he's shown me is you can be wildly successful and yet still hold onto the values that are important to you – like humility. He really is the best leader I've ever seen."
There are countless examples to reinforce this specific trait, but I have two personal favorites that fit perfectly into this category. The first goes back nearly four years ago in an N-Sider entitled Good Reasons Behind Tom-Foolery and Bo-Jinks. Tom, of course, is Osborne, and Bo is Pelini. You have to read the column to get the full gist of Osborne visiting the football office to inform former linebacker coach Mike Ekeler about something he did when he recruited Will Compton – something that another Big 12 school had written the NCAA about Nebraska's apparent violation of a rather obscure rule involving extra recruiting enticements. It's a funny story, but no more hilarious than the one Nebraska baseball coach Darin Erstad delivered when he roasted and toasted Osborne for a remark when Erstad wanted to switch scholarships after his junior season. Erstad's story ranks high on the laugh meter, and Osborne was a good sport for other Nebraska staffers who honored him in similar fashion.
Confidence is a pivotal part of why I call Tom Osborne THE standard for coaches and ADs. I've never seen anyone so humble walk into a room and command it, even when the sound is silence. Osborne doesn't have to say anything to get anyone's attention. He radiates respect, and he's earned it because of the way he sees the world, operates in it and manages to stay above the fray. In politics, he would not compromise his principles, and he would not change his position on something just to gain extra percentage points in a media poll. I worked in Corporate America for more than 22 years and in my opinion, there are very few leaders with Coach's commanding combination of confidence, competitive drive and character-based leadership.
There is no question what N-Sider captures the essence of Tom Osborne's definition for commitment. We wrote how Nebraska fans could help T.O. ride off into the sunset before he joined Bo Pelini and 29 seniors in their final Tunnel Walk in the regular-season finale against Minnesota. Former Husker quarterback Steve Taylor said Osborne kept coming back to Nebraska to make things right. "Coach Osborne reminds me of the lead character in the movie Shane, who keeps riding off into the sunset until someone needs him, so he keeps coming back to save lives and help people who need help. That's what Tom did at Nebraska. Like Shane, he came back, put the program in his hands and revitalized it. That's what he's done all his adult life – keeps coming back to the people he loves, the program he loves, the university he loves and the state he loves." Judging by the hundreds of responses we received on this column, those fans love Tom Osborne, too.
We have an N-Sider that accurately reflects this trait, and we go straight to the Osborne family to depict the importance of a constantly positive attitude. Mike Osborne describes his dad as tough but giving. He mentions how his dad went for two in the 1983 National Championship (1984 Orange Bowl) when a tie would have secured his first national title; how he co-founded the TeamMates Mentoring Program after witnessing the dissolution of the American family in his recruiting trips over the years; why he passed up two NFL head coaching offers to remain an influence in more impressionable young people's lives; how he attended Seminary while playing pro football; why he helped former players, including loaning them money and expecting nothing in return; how he received scathing criticism from the national media during the Lawrence Phillips controversy yet hoped for a better outcome; how he refused pay greater than the highest paid academic position at UNL while he was head coach; why he reads his Bible at the beginning of every day and tithes to the church.
Tom Osborne has been so creative for so long and without fanfare that you tend to forget all the new wrinkles for which he is responsible in college athletics ... the I- formation in football, plus strength and conditioning training and a full-fledged walk-on program mainstreaming its way into an athletic department. All three innovative solutions came early in his career yet remain foremost in the grand scheme of things. Nebraska Associate AD Jamie Williams says Osborne has been such a productive Renaissance Man that now is the time for "The Sage" to laugh even more than he already does. Let's also give credit to Bob Devaney, who was savvy enough to see Osborne's progressive-minded strengths. That's why he hand-picked Osborne and empowered him to do whatever he needed to separate Nebraska from other NCAA institutions. All Osborne has done is to help enable Nebraska's unparalleled academic success, plus the Huskers' leadership in life skills, nutrition and athletic research. All are the result of Osborne's relentless push to be a pioneer in support areas that connect total-person development with consistent performance and overall innovation.
We all know
there's no roadmap to lead a team through uncharted waters, so Fortune Magazine is right. The higher
the risk, the higher the pressure, and that's where your natural intuition has
to kick in. Osborne's first national championship team in 1994 is a classic case in
point. When Tommie Frazier had blood
clots, Osborne turned to a walk-on quarterback from Goodland, Kan. And Brook
Berringer's influence went far beyond the masterful performances he put
together on the road to a moon over Miami. Berringer's power and spirit on that
team carried over to third-team walk-on quarterback Matt Turman, who started at K-State and kept the Huskers' unbeaten
season going despite playing with a collapsed lung. Osborne never has allowed
his name to be put on Memorial Stadium's artificial turf even though it is
officially called Tom Osborne Field. When Osborne took down a bronze bust and other personal
salutes to him inside the Athletic Department when he became AD, employees
understood. Fortunately, the statue in front of the North Stadium Complex was
never moved because Berringer is a big part of it. Check out Osborne and Ron Brown
remembering Berringer 15 years after a game that showed the nation
why Nebraska could still win a national championship with its backup
quarterback. Then take the time to watch Brown's video installments as well as
Osborne's remembrances of Berringer. Let's add one more intuitive influence that connects Osborne/Brown not only to Nebraska football, but college
football: Husker
Captain Stan Parker, who helped bring pregame prayer to the field when Nebraska once hosted Oklahoma. Osborne's own faith matches up well with his intuition. Who will ever forget his legendary role that moved Nebraska out of its historical roots and into the Big Ten, the nation's oldest intercollegiate athletic conference? In a game of big boy chess, Osborne asked an important question and when the answer wasn't clear, his principles enabled him to use his intuition to produce a solid long-term solution that fits Nebraska athletically, academically and culturally.
As a Hall-of-Fame football coach, a three-term Congressman and an athletic director who squeezed 15 years of accomplishments into a little more than five years, Osborne's solid values have never fallen out of fashion. His optimism, hard work and strength of character are timeless and enduring. He can spot talent and nurture it. He's equally effective as a strategist and a tactician. He doesn't judge people when they fail or fall flat on their face. He analyzes how they handle failure, how they show resilience and how they see and reinforce strength in others. He takes a genuine interest in every level of those who work around him and is the best listener of any leader I've ever seen. He's a staunch believer that everyone's work matters and each contribution is bigger than you or your salary. Because of all of that, it should come as no surprise that the N-Sider offers up two stories this week that graphically paint portraits of Tom Osborne's remarkable ability to inspire players even after they've fallen so far, a rescue seems like a long shot. Take the time to read Against All Odds: The Budge Porter Story and Power of Redemption: A Big Osborne Legacy for Ricky Simmons, the second leading receiver on Nebraska's 1983 NCAA record-setting Scoring Explosion team. Porter, a quadriplegic, and Simmons, a drug addict who went to prison three times, inspired Osborne, and more importantly, you'll learn how Osborne still inspires them.

How to increase the security!
Subject description: Internet Security
Hello everybody!
Well I am using Puppy Linux (I completely deleted Windows XP). Because Puppy Linux is able to do what I want. By the way I am using Lucid and Slacko Puppy Linux, because of some little differences
You know?, I never before had Internet Connection at home. (I usually went to Public Internet...). But a few days ago Movistar installed Internet Connection to my laptop (wired connection to TP-LINK modem which also has WIFI)
So, this is new for me and I need to increase my security. Reading the user guide I could change my SSID, WPA-PSK password (the official webpage only shows two authentication types: WEP and WPA-PSK; two encryption: TKP and AES), also I activated the mac address filter and I have turned on the Firewall
But the user guide doesn't have deep information about internet security, So:
- Can anybody give me detailed information about internet security?
- Is it possible that anybody could get my password?
- Which is the strongest authentication and encryption type?
- how can i know if anybody else is connected to my Router?, if so how can i disconnect them?
Thank you very much for reading and helping me!

Using Puppy you are already safe
Detective Inspector Bruce van der Graaf from the Computer Crime Investigation Unit told the hearing that he uses two rules to protect himself from cyber-criminals when banking online. The first rule, he said, was to never click on hyperlinks to the banking site and the second was to avoid Microsoft Windows: 'If you are using the internet for a commercial transaction, use a Linux boot up disk - such as Ubuntu or some of the other flavours. Puppy Linux is a nice small distribution that boots up fairly quickly. It gives you an operating system which is perfectly clean and operates only in the memory of the computer and is a perfectly safe way of doing Internet banking'.
Turn on the firewall
the rest is common sense
security done
If you are a budding tin hat . . .
Wpa2 is the most secure wifi

Is it possible that anybody could get my password?
It sure is. A neighbor can use programs that use brute force guessing
until it crack it. And drive by cars that cruise for such vulnerable modem
routers to break into.
Our version of PBS showed how easy it is. Took only minutes for the guy
they hired to show how vulnerable we are.
Wep where most easy and WAP took more time.
There should be such reports in English speaking computer press too
and BBC tech should have such texts and even videos?
So you should try to get a good password.
If the person doing is not good at hiding then most likely an icon indicate
that another have entered your network.
Others can confirm if one can click on these and stop them.
Most likely possible.
What Lobster talk about sounds to me to be a compare with Ms Win
getting targeted within ten minutes or earlier if one just get out with a
modem and no router. Routers makes it a bit more secure.
My naive take is this.
If many thousands of Apple latest OS get invaded with Trojan
then why would linux be more protected.
Puppy being a very different linux makes it maybe less targeted.
But if somebody is dedicated then they can do it. Hopefully
somebody that really knows thing give you good advice.
I know too little.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

A computer devices without additions from spy plus passwords without writing into your own memory, when the passwords can be placed into the shifting stencil, plus the protected energy for computer devices, plus the successful work with licences, plus booting from the DVD or CD-disk. But it will not give a full protection.

I fail to link to it directly. it is a bit down on the page. Go here
"DoudouLinux has several features that set it apart from the others:
a safe computing environment for children;
make computers accessible to all children on earth;
copy and share freely;
carry it anywhere and use safely on any computer;
the operating system children prefer.
Safety means two things. It means system safety,
because even though DoudouLinux can be installed
to a hard drive, it's really intended to run from a CD or
USB stick without making any changes to the host system,
and without access to the host system.
It can't be used as a rescue distro or
interfere with the host system in any way.
There is no console and no command line.
It is very simple, with a limited tightly-focused set of applications,
and no modifications without rebuilding the system image."
Okay a very restricted type of OS. Too restricted for serious work
But could one not learn from their intention to make it as simple
and as secure as possible and make a two layered approach ?
Maybe two kind of puppy? One puppy so that one boot when one
want to be very safe online and then another iso that one boot
when one need to do a lot of offline work that require access to
the HD.
I have a test machine now that have no internal HD what so ever.
I use a CD/DVD or USB to boot it and save things on another USB.

Thanks to shoutcrown for the PM. Sadly due to personal circumstances
I don't have time to answer and exchange views on Security because
I know too little. I contributed to this thread in hope a lot of persons
who do more than me would share their best advices.
I know nothing about DoudouLinux but would be cool to get feedback on
if what they write there is as they say or if they are too optimistic.
Can puppy learn from their approach and how? Not to cripple Puppy
but to have one very secure puppy that maybe is too restricted to use
for others uses but to use for safe browsing and then one shut down
and reboot into a normal puppy when one need those features?
Shoutcrown has started a personal question that is related here
I did not write there because my long experience is that if I write something
then none else get active in that thread.
So to be polite I only link to it here. Hope that helps.
I share your worry shoutcrown but have no time to get deep into it.
Hope you get good answers if that fails do use the search I link to
and put in keywords like security and wap wifi wireless and what is needed to find your answers and give feedback in that thread you started.

Subject description: be happy! we are learning!
I really appreciate your effort to share my "post"
I am using Puppy Linux, it's an excellent OS (i am sure the other distros are the best too). Like you, there are many things I don't know and can't do, but I already know the basic usage. So on now I can show and share this practical knowledge I have, to people close to me...
Now I have internet connection at home, and it is better to learn and do more questions
thank you again, Best wishes!

When you asked how to tell if someone was online using your routers WIFI connection, you can access the router's setup page and there should be a section that will show what PCs are connected.
At least both my Linksys and Quest routers have that feature.
Maybe that will help.
At my home, it showed me just what PCs were connected using both WIFI and wired connections.
Also, be sure to change the default password for your router so that it cannot be accessed remotely easily.
I only say this because I can access my router via WIFI knowing the username and password.
So if you left the default of username- admin and password of - password, you are leaving yourself open.

Hi! 8-bit,
Thank you!.
Yeah, Now I am watching which options shows the Router web page. As all of you say, there is a section where I can see which devices are connected...
Nevertheless there is a question I forgot to make: Which are the more secure characters for a key: ASCII or Hexadecimal?
Because using ASCII I can write symbols like @, #, etc., but Hexadecimal only admit numbers and letters from A-F

password generation
For all you budding tin hats
Why not order a Raspberry Pi
and create
a password generator and changer?
Basically this would log into all your password protected services
Maybe once a day, with the previous password and change it.
The program would then print out the passwords (possibly in braille) for you to type in when requiring access.
That should keep you occupied for a while . . .
Hope that or link is of interest

there's no way people can remember tens of passphrases each consisting of random characters,
which means you'd have to write them down, which would be a security risk.
my method
you can safely write down ...
Lobster's password for bank account is "
when your actual bank password is an MD5 of "
i.e. the bank password is the 32 character hexadecimal number c70d765ca96f3b0855e2d4dd9b38efd6
" is any character sequence which you commit to memory and never write down,
character sequence preferably not a word in any dictionary, "
" isn't , "
" is , the longer the character sequence the better ]
Note: slight changes to the text make huge difference to the MD5, e.g. missing out an apostrophe , changing the case of one letter.

Your plan is good.
How about if you write them down in invisible ink?
I once spent a lot of time creating a secure website, password protected
- which at the time was not essential
When they then told me how they had forgotten their password
I informed them how secure the site was (as warned)
I did not have access to the password.
In fact I have just tried to get into a secure account
. . . and I have no record or account of my forgotten details
I am the weakest link

Never pay for prostitute again! No Hassle. No Strings.
It is actually free to look for over million nearby for nsa in Brampton Abbotts
Sex clubs - Most of these are usually a mixture of a club and a brothel, plus they can vary from small to very huge, and from bad to very extravagant. They will generally demand clients among 150 and 200 for just one hr having a lady in a exclusive space, there is however a huge issue attached.
Just like is the situation in other cities with cabs and strip clubs Brampton Abbotts, these sex clubs in Brampton Abbotts use a technique where taxi people will add massive fees (around 75) for taking new clients to all these sex clubs. Obviously, you wind up having to pay that fee in your fee, so showing up by some approach aside from using a taxi driver drop you at the front is recommended, however in certain cases even that will not prevent the additional cost.
You do also know that paying for prostitute Brampton Abbotts can be dangerous as most of them have pimps and you can end up losing all your money.
What we offer is adult dating network that have all local from your area already inside. They are looking for the same thing as you and are waiting to get laid. So join free now and begin your search!

Outside, the wind whips up a flurry of dry leaves and rolls overlooked pecans down the driveway. The sky threatens with gray clouds, and as darkness creeps over the hills and into the river, a dull winter day draws to an end.
A congenial fire pops occasionally under the stockings hung from the mantle. Christmas music gentles the impending gloom; the Christmas tree winks in the window; holly and mistletoe add shine.
Cinnamon potpourri simmers on the stove. Grandson Ryan hangs out with us on Thursdays; as I wait, memories of the past week dance across my mind.
Andrew "Bubba" Barnes had begun a trek on Facebook: 26 years ago tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 28), the Gadsden High Tigers were winning the 1986 5A State Championship (I've still got my ring).
It produced a deluge of memories from his classmates. David Partridge marveled that it had been so long, as did Aimee Hagedorn. Phillip Stephens sang in with "David Taylor threw deep late in the fourth quarter." Wendy Webb, Jean Hawkins, Alice Avery, Jana Massey, Jerome Horton, Jason Crow, Andre deRamus, David Owen, David Elrod, Andrew Roberts, Adria Connell and Kim Avery joined in with memories of that precious time.
Jason Crow remembered an opponent "jawing" at Alex Freeman, trying to start a fight. Without getting mad, Alex just calmly turned and pointed to Gadsden High's winning scoreboard.
Parents were involved in the goings on; Bob Pine and Dr. Wesley were part of a rockin' pep band at one of the pep rallies and I helped lead the cheers dressed as ... Madonna! What a way to spend a winter evening — reminiscing about bringing home the state championship.
I learned long ago not to depend on electronics for a major part of a lesson or show. Story Time kids were going to watch the new Pete the Cat story, "Pete the Cat Saves Christmas," online. The children were eager to see the new story on my iPad. All was still; even Maddie Clare Lumpkin, who had been helping lead the songs.
I held the iPad high, pushed the button and ... nothing. I pushed the other button — still nothing happened. The 2- and 3-year-olds were ready to watch the story. I stood there pitifully holding the silent iPad.
"Miss Glenda! Do THIS one!" 3-year-old Aiden Gilmore touched the middle button and Pete the Cat sprang to the screen. Perhaps I should stick to reading stories.
Jack Ross and Donna Wilson welcomed me to Head Start on Henry Street to host a story time Tuesday for Mrs. Suttle's class: Lizeth Aguilar, Neveah Bozeman, Autumn Davis, Janiyah Galbreath, London Mathis, Allie O'Dell, Joshua Peoples, De' Jahnae Smith, Emmalee Standord, Emma Strong, Zy'kerria Taylor, Kyleigh Tolbert, Jy'Onna Vinson, Troi Watson, Rha'Nya Williams, Jaiden Wilson and Juntae Wright.
Ryan's headlights flash against the window; Thursdays are happy evenings.
But then, joy is always near this close to Christmas, 'round town.

An incident involving a girl in her wheelchair has been getting a lot of attention. I've been reading a lot of articles, tweets, and posts about this and I feel some clarification is needed. First off, we regret that this happened and TSA has apologized directly to the family for their inconvenience at the airport.
What we did:
- Our officer did initially mention a pat-down. We admit this was confusing, and contributed to a stressful situation. Very quickly, a manager was able to step in and give guidance.
- Also, our officer told the passenger that it was illegal to film at the checkpoint. This is not the case, and you can take a look at our filming policy here.
- TSA's Federal Security Director at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL) reached out to personally apologize for the incident. He also offered to assist the family the next time they traveled through the airport.
What we didn't do:
- The child did not receive a pat-down. You can read our new procedures for children 12 and under here.
- Neither the child nor the parent was detained. TSA does not have the authority to detain passengers. Only Law Enforcement Officers can detain passengers.
- The child's stuffed animal was not confiscated. It was screened and handed back to the child after being screened. All accessible property is screened prior to traveling to your departure gate. You may remember this stuffed animal from last year.
Incidents like this can trigger a lot of emotions, but please keep the TSA's mission in mind. We are committed to maintaining the security of the traveling public. This will be addressed with our workforce so we can continue to treat all passengers with the dignity and respect they deserve.
We continue to receive overwhelmingly positive reports about our TSA Cares Help Line and strongly suggest that passengers with disabilities and medical conditions call this number if they have questions or are concerned about their upcoming travel through a TSA checkpoint.
From TSA.gov:
TSA Cares is a helpline to assist travelers with disabilities and medical conditions. TSA recommends that passengers call 72 hours ahead of travel to for information about what to expect during screening.
Travelers may call TSA Cares toll free at 1-855-787-2227 prior to traveling with questions about screening policies, procedures and what to expect at the security checkpoint. TSA Cares will serve as an additional, dedicated resource specifically for passengers with disabilities, medical conditions or other circumstances or their loved ones who want to prepare for the screening process prior to flying.
The hours of operation for the TSA Cares helpline are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. EST and weekends and Holidays 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. EST. Travelers who are deaf or hard of hearing can use a relay service to contact TSA Cares or can e-mai firstname.lastname@example.com.
When a passenger with a disability or medical condition calls TSA Cares, a representative will provide assistance, either with information about screening that is relevant to the passenger's specific disability or medical condition, or the passenger may be referred to disability experts at TSA.
TSA recommends that passengers call approximately 72 hours ahead of travel so that TSA Cares has the opportunity to coordinate checkpoint support with a TSA Customer Service Manager located at the airport when necessary.

The prison population has nore than doubled over the last ten years, grc1Ningfran 4300 in 1979 to over 10,500 today. Oklahomahas respondedto this problem, in part, by exparxlingcapacity. In addition, Oklahomahas implementedan energencyrelease act (the "cap" law) and has encouragedthe use of alternatives to incarceration. Nevertheless, the prison systemtoday has nearly 1400 iInnatesover capacity.

State of Oklaho ma EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMISSIONS 104 State Capitol Building Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73105 405/521-2121 Stan Provus State Bond Advisor MEMORANDUM TO: Cliff Sandel, Deputy Director Administrative Services Department of Corrections Stan Provus -Ie f/ State Bond Advisor ~ ~~3k1U'~~~~@ FROM: OlVIS:ON Of ADMINISTRATION DATE: January 30, 1989 SUBJECT: Bond Financing of Prisons Bond financing is the preferable funding alternative for new prisons. Bond financing brings about intergenerational equity in paying for oapital assets with long useful lives like prisons. Moreover, it would actually be less expensive for the State to bond for prisons than pay cash, assuming the cash were available. Under current market conditions, these savings would total about $3.1 million dollars on a $30 million dollar prison. Various aspects of a bonded approach to financing prison(s) are considered below. I. Type of Bond Tax-exempt revenue bonds or Certificates of Participation Bonds would be secured by lease payments from the Department of Corrections. Once all lease payments are made, the facility would revert to State ownership (sometimes ownership can be transferred at origination). The Department of Corrections would be required to request annual appropriations to make lease payments. Because annual lease payments represent annual operating expenses contingent on appropriations, the financing would not represent "debt" for constitutional purposes nor be subject to voter approval. There is about $33 million of public sale, lease rental bond debt outstanding in Oklahoma for which the State is responsible. It is being used to finance both real property and equipment for a number of State agencies ranging from the Department of Human Services to the State Finance office. All such issues have been rated "A" by Moody's, without credit enhancement. A prison issue could expect a similar rating without credit enhancement. II. Estimate of Annual Debt Service Cost Assumptions: - $30 million principal amount - 20 year term - "A" rated bond issue - 7.6% Net Interest Cost under current conditions A. Monthly payment: $243,515 B. Annual payment: $2,922,187 This debt service cost estimate is reasonable under current market conditions. The McAlester Industrial Development Authority term sheet contemplates an "insured" offering sold through "competitive bid". The question of who should issue the bonds is considered below. There are several issues that need to be considered to establish whether an "insured" offering is cost-effective and, secondly, whether a competitive versus negotiated offering makes sense. These issues are inter-dependent. Bond insurance is a form of "credit enhancement" or substitution and simply involves an issuer's purchase of outside support for a bond issue which substitutes for an issuer's own credit on a particular bond issue. The credit substitute provides protection to bondholders, even in the event of issuer default. The issue is, therefore, assigned a rating reflecting the insurer's (bank letter of credit, bond insurer, etc.) own debt rating. A municipal bond insurance policy is a non-cancellable guarantee to make timely debt service payments, if the issuer does not. There are a number of companies providing insurance on municipal bonds (AMBAC, BIC, MBIA, FGIC). Insured bonds today account for about 30% of new issue volume. On an Oklahoma prison issue, bond insurance could be expected to improve the rating from "A" to "AM" and thereby permit accessing the market at lower interest rates. An issue rated "AM" rated issue would likely sell at an NIC rate of 7.3% versus the 7.6% rate noted above for an "A" rated issue~ Under current market conditions, if the annual cost of the insurance premium was less than 30 basis points (100 basis points=l%), an "insured" approach would be cost-effective. If higher than 30 basis points, it would not be cost-effective. The cost-effectiveness of bond insurance can only be established once Page 2 quotes are received from insurers and measured against interest rate savings under prevailing market conditions (spreads between A and AAA-rated issues vary) • If cost-effective, a bond insured issue would likely achieve the most aggressive pricing though a "competitive" sale. Generally speaking, an issuer achieves the best rates through competitive sale on "plain vanilla", general obligation backed bond issues. Most revenue bonds are sold through "negotiated" sales, since there is usually more of a "story bond' element to them and a negotiated sale permits pre-marketing of an issue to minimize this handicap. Bond insurance acts to eliminate the "story" element because the bond buyer really looks to the AAA-rated credit of the insurer. Thus, the question of insured versus uninsured and competitive versus negotiated sale will rest with the determination of the cost-effectiveness of bond insurance near the time of sale. III. Who should issue the Bonds? Industrial Development Authorities at both sites have offered to act as the bond issuer. It should be understood that both would act as conduits for the financing and assume no risk on the bond issue(s). The "credit" is the State, regardless of who issues the bonds. Serious consideration should be given to issuing any such bonds through the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority or Capital Improvement Authority, since their bonds would carry a "double exemption" in contrast to the "single" exemption available through the local issuing authorities. "Double" exemption means the bonds are exempt from both State and federal taxation; single means federal only. A double-exempt bond sold primarily to Oklahoma buyers would likely be priced about 8-10 basis points lower. This would lower annual debt service by $22,000 per year or save $441,000 over the life of the issue (present value savings of $274,000 and $188,000 at 5% and 10% discount rates respectively). IV. Cash Versus Bonding Cost Effectiveness Perhaps the economist's most often quoted dictum is: "There is no such thing as a free lunch." The cost of a resource, State appropriations in this instance to pay cash for a prison, is therefore, the value of that resource in its best alternative use, or more broadly, the cost of any decision is the value of the best alternative opportunity thereby forsaken. This definition of cost, known as the opportunity cost doctrine, is probably the economist's major contribution to the practice of decision-making. Keeping this principal in mind, the following analysis demonstrates why it would be cheaper to bond for a prison than pay cash. The difference or spread between taxable and Page 3 tax-exempt interest rates drives this analysis. Under current market conditions, a prison bond could access the tax-exempt market at about 7.6% (NIC, single-exempt). On the other hand, the State can invest funds in a highly rated guaranteed investment contract (GIC) and access a 9.1% taxable rate. This means the State could invest an amount of money in an escrow at 9.1% and use the escrow to pay principal and interest on a 7.6% tax-exempt bond. Since the GIC escrow pays interest at a higher rate than the bond, only $26,873,000 would need to be invested to meet the monthly debt service payments of $243,515 on the $30 million bond. This would save the State $3,126,000 in current dollars. Thus, a bonding approach is more cost-effective than paying cash, assuming the cash is available. The "best use" of State funds is this investment approach to support a bond issue or use of the "cash" for alternative uses such as building up the rainy day fund. There are some restrictions in the Tax Code that would limit too direct a relationship between an escrow fund capitalized with State cash and a bond issue. SOP:pks cc: Dr. Don Udell College of Education Page 4 SOCIAL AND AIMNISTRATIVE OONSIDERATIONS SUBCX:MvU'lTEE REroRr January 27, 1989 'lhis subconunitteelookedbeyorrljust the economiciIrpact of estab-lishirxJ a prison in a cammmity. We looked at the social structure: what structures mist be there to ensure success, am what changes are likely to ocx::uras a result of the presence of a large institution. '!he items we considered included: available labor force, social cl.inate, social i.Irpact, support services, ani administrative considerations. Available labor Force '!he available labor force includes both skilled am unskilled labor. In Iookinq at the available labor force in the cammmities, we fim that McAlesteris probably slightly better off than Hinton regani-irq size of the workforce am perhaps even correctional-related skills represented. However,there are substantial mnnbers of ready and willirq workers in both areas. Social Clinate Social clinate includes political am citizen attitudes am will. '!here wasaburrlanttestiloony at both public hearings that both McAlester am Hinton political leaders support;the establishment of a prison in their area. In regard to citizen will, samecitizens in Hinton have certainly voiced their opp::sition, while no opposition to the proposed expansionwasexpressed fromanyonein McAlester. Withinthe context of citizen am political will, the subcanunitteemist, identify McAlesteras apparently nore responsive am more receptive to the proposition than Hinton. Social Impact Social inpact refers to the ability of the canununityto assimilate corrections personnel, their families, am irnnate families, into the canununity. OUr feelirq is that the canununityof McAlester,beirq prison sensitive am experiencedalready, wouldmorelikely assimilate the new prison families into the canununitywith greater ease than the cxnnmunity of Hinton. Werealize that Hinton will take necessary steps to make staff am visitors as welcomeas possible; however,wealso realize that in a cxnnmunity of the size of Hintonthere maybe sameproblems,partic-ularly aIOO~those people in the canununitythat have consistently opposedthe prison. Weare troubled by this, but wedo not consider it a major barrier. '!he subcanunitteefelt that the ability of the respective local school systemsto assimilate the y~ of the correctional families wasprobably equal. SUpportServices Support services include supp::>rttype businesses am service enterprises. Eachcanununitycurrently has these services in place am looks fo:t:WcUto'd expansion. Again, McAlester is slightly ahead of Hinton: however,wedo not see this as a major selection factor. Administrative Considerations '!he subcaImnitteelooked at administrative considerations within the context of the Depart:nEltof Corrections' control. '!he subcommitteedid not see any difference in the two locales, with one exception. Regard-irg supply am storage capabilities, M::Alester has a slight edge over Hinton. '!his difference is not substantial enoughto affect the selec-tion decision. SUmrrary In SUlTIllm'Y, in M:Alester this subcommittee sees a mature, prison seasoned cannnunitythat is seeking expansion. In Hinton, we see a group of people whospoke persuasively ani enthusiastically for lcx:::ationof a prison in their canm.mity. Wehave no reason to believe that is not the case with manymanypeople in Hinton, but as wein:licated before, weare just a bit uncertain as to the scale of support.
