7.5.14 USAC National Midgets Results
Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.……Christopher Bell opened up the Angell Park Speedway "Pepsi Nationals" weekend with a convincing win in Saturday's 30-lap Honda National Midget feature, which was co-sanctioned by POWRi and BMARA. The Norman, Oklahoma driver led throughout after starting on the pole in the Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports – Toyota TRD #71 Bullet/Speedway Toyota, leading a team sweep of the podium.
"Tonight was pretty typical for here, with a pretty gnarly ledge all the way around. You run as hard as you can without tripping over the cushion. It's a tricky place. It's dead flat but you rip around here wide open. This place taught me a lesson my first time here when I turned over. It definitely feels good to be on this end now," Bell said.
Bell took the lead on the start, as Tracy Hines sat second ahead of the pair of teammates, Rico Abreu and Tanner Thorson, dicing early for the third spot. A red flag came out on lap three as Terry Babb flipped over a slowing Brandon Waelti. Both were uninjured, and Babb restarted.
After the restart, Abreu and Thorson continued their battle as they roared by Hines for second and third. Abreu closed on Bell as the duo encountered lapped nearing the halfway mark. Abreu showed his nose repeatedly under Bell as they slid past slower cars. Right at halfway, ninth-running Tyler Courtney slowed and went to the work area with a packed right-rear wheel.
Just a couple laps after the restart, Zach Daum caught the front-stretch wall and flipped hard to the inside of the track, bringing out a red. Daum walked away.
With 13 laps to go, Bell pulled away on the final restart, opening up a gap on his teammates as they again encountered traffic over the final few laps. With no mistakes on his end, Bell won by a 1.340-second margin.
Abreu held off Thorson for the second spot, sustaining his healthy point lead in the National Midget standings with the Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports – Toyota TRD #97 Bullet/Speedway Toyota.
"As crazy as it sounds for me, I've got to keep putting good finishes up there and race smart without making stupid mistakes. We put another great night together from start to finish. I tried to hit the bottom on the start and lost a little bit. I got to second and tracked Christopher down and just waited for him to make one mistake, but he's so good up on the cushion like that," Abreu said.
Thorson backed up his ProSource "Fast Time" from earlier in the night with a podium finish in the Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports – Toyota TRD #67 Bullet/Speedway Toyota.
"I got a great start and got past Rico, but the next thing I know he was sliding me for that spot. I can't thank Keith and Pete enough for a great car again tonight. It's tough to run this place up against the curb like that. Lapped traffic was a challenge tonight, but I learned a lot with it and had fun racing with those guys up front," Thorson said.
Chris Windom finished in fourth aboard the RFMS Racing – Liberty Village #3 DRC/Stanton Mopar, and Hines ended up fifth in the Parker Machinery – Turbines, Inc. #24 Spike/Stanton Toyota.

Jadeveon Clowney certainly hasn't lacked for attention over the past few years.
College football observers lauded Clowney's every move during his sophomore year at South Carolina. NFL scouts and coaches were anything but bashful in projecting his talent at the next level, pegging the pass rusher as one of the top defensive prospects in recent memory. In fact, during my summer film evaluation ahead of Clowney's junior season, I had the audacity to compare him to a few of my former teammates with Hall of Fame credentials (Derrick Thomas, Reggie White and Bruce Smith).
The hype surrounding Clowney's game and potential reached astronomical levels, creating expectations for the 2013 campaign that, to be fair, he never could have lived up to, regardless of what he did. Evaluators made Clowney out to be a superhero last offseason, then took him apart after he failed to destroy the quarterback on every play during the first few games of the fall. He didn't help matters by appearing to give a lackluster effort on some plays, sparking questions about his motor. He also was cited for speeding at pretty excessive ratestwice in December. Consequently, concerns about his maturity, desire and work ethic shifted the narrative in regard to the way some evaluators viewed him.
Now that we've reached draft season, of course, that narrative is bound to change yet again, as scouts dig deeper into his tape and get a better feel for his remarkable athletic attributes. After all, it's hard to find a 6-foot-6, 275-pound defensive end with rush skills and speed like Clowney's (which is reportedly around the 4.5-second range in the 40-yard dash). Don't forget that he finished his three-year career at South Carolina with 24 sacks and 47 tackles for loss despite playing in the SEC -- college football's premier conference. In the NFL, pass rushers -- particularly those of the long, rangy variety with explosive quickness -- are coveted at a premium, and Clowney is just the sort of freakish talent that coaches and scouts look for at the top of the draft.
Whatever criticisms one might have about Clowney's play, the flashes of brilliance he's displayed have been astonishing. When he played with maximum effort and solid fundamentals, he was nearly impossible to block, coming off the ball like a rocket while maintaining the balance and body control to turn the corner without losing speed. Clowney also showed a powerful butt-and-jerk maneuver to complement his quick arm-over on inside rushes. While he still needs to work on sequencing rush moves, the fact that Clowney was such a dominant player at such a young age (he turns 21 on Feb. 14) suggests that his best football lies ahead.
That's why coaches will largely ignore the purported blemishes in Clowney's performance this past season and bet on the tremendous upside that he brings as an edge rusher. Something similar happened during the evaluations of both Julius Peppers in 2002 (drafted at No. 2 overall) and Mario Williams in 2006 (the first overall pick). There were questions about Peppers' motor, and Williams had a so-so final college season, but both players have enjoyed fine NFL careers, certainly validating their high draft selections.
With that in mind, I've come up with five teams that would rank as perfect fits for Clowney. At this point, it's hard to imagine this physical freak lasting beyond the first few picks in May, but given the potential for trade activity, it's always useful to examine which teams suit a player best. And of course, a lot can change in the pre-draft process.
Houston Texans (No. 1 overall pick)
The Texans, who have the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, have fielded one of the league's top defenses the past few seasons. Adding a dynamic athlete like Clowney would make the unit downright scary. He would join with 2012 Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt to create a formidable front that would have every opposing offensive coordinator and quarterback shaking in their boots. When one factors in the return of Pro Bowler Brian Cushing from injury and the continued development of Whitney Mercilus, it's clear the Texans could feature one of the best front sevens in the NFL. Given that the past two seasons have seen the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks ride defense to the Super Bowl, it's not inconceivable that Clowney could put Bill O'Brien's first Texans squad on the path to Super Bowl XLIX.
Jacksonville Jaguars (No. 3)
Former Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley just watched his old team hoist the Lombardi Trophy on the strength of a dominant defense. The Jaguars coach definitely would welcome the chance to have a freakishly talented rusher like Clowney anchoring his defense for the next few years. Although Clowney is raw and unpolished as a rusher, he is such a natural athlete that he will create disruption by using his explosive "get off" and agility to overwhelm edge blockers working alone in pass protection. In addition, Clowney's height and extraordinary wingspan will force quarterbacks to change the trajectory of their passes, leading to interception opportunities on tips and overthrows. Given the impact that negative plays and turnovers have on the outcomes of games, the arrival of Clowney would advance Jacksonville's return to respectability under Bradley.
Oakland Raiders (No. 5)
General manager Reggie McKenzie needs to upgrade the talent at just about every position on the Raiders' roster. Clowney would give the defense a dynamic pass rusher to build around and add some sizzle to a lineup that desperately lacks star power. Remember that the Raiders play in the AFC West, where Pro Bowl quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers and Alex Smith roam. If Oakland wants to have a chance in the division, McKenzie must upgrade its pass rush. Other pieces are needed on the defensive side of the ball -- particularly in the secondary -- but the acquisition of a disruptive edge rusher could mask some of the unit's flaws.
Atlanta Falcons (No. 6)
Schein: Offseason intrigue
As we head into the roster rejiggering of the offseason, Adam Schein identifies nine teams that will be fascinating to follow. **READ**
The Falcons' pass rush suffered mightily in 2013, obviously much more than GM Thomas Dimitroff and coach Mike Smith expected it to, given the March release of John Abraham. The Dirty Birds finished with just 32 sacks (tied for 29th in the NFL) and failed to disrupt the rhythm of quarterbacks in the pocket. Clowney would add speed and athleticism to the front line while creating opportunities for others to get after the passer, as double teams are certain to head in his direction. With the noise of the Georgia Dome crowd and the speed of the artificial turf enhancing Clowney's first-step quickness, he could become an immediate difference-maker as the designated rusher in the Falcons' hybrid scheme.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 7)
New Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith inherits a defense that is one pass rusher away from becoming one of the NFC's dominant units. Clowney has drawn comparisons to a young Peppers, which could entice Smith to make the South Carolina star the centerpiece of his Tampa 2 scheme. In Chicago, the addition of Peppers' disruptive skills helped Smith's D produce takeaways and defensive scores at an astonishing rate. With Clowney displaying similar athletic attributes and a knack for creating disruption, the marriage between player and scheme could produce more defensive fireworks in Tampa Bay.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center scientists, allied institutions and industry partners may be stepping-up their assault on pharmaceutical business-as-usual via VU's new Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery (CNDD).
The university recently announced that Jeff Conn, Ph.D., and Craig Lindsley, Ph.D., will co-direct the new center. The men previously led, respectively, the Vanderbilt Program in Drug Discovery and the Specialized Chemistry Center for Accelerated Probe Development, the latter part of a multi-institution network.
As a result of work by its predecessors, the CNDD is "in discussions with potential corporate partners and considering the possibility of partnering with an industry partner" to advance efforts by the Michael J. Fox Foundation to find drugs that address Parkinson's disease and its symptoms, Conn told VNC. The CNDD-MJFF relationship has been in-place for some time.
The Conn-led drug discovery program was awarded $16.4 million in research funding for the current 2011 fiscal year, Vanderbilt said.
In an update released March 10, VUMC cited the role of the NIH, foundations and corporate partners in advancing drug discovery at VU, and said the new center will, among other things, pursue opportunities "for accelerating movement of [the center's drug-related] discoveries from the lab bench to patient care," which seems to signal stepped-up commercialization efforts.
CNDD already has partnerships with Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (owned by global Johnson & Johnson) to address treatment of schizophrenia; and, with Seaside Therapeutics (Cambridge, Mass.), in a push, VUMC said earlier, to "relieve learning, memory, social and behavioral problems associated with Fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited form of mental retardation and the most common genetic cause of autism."
The CNDD pairing means co-directors Conn and Lindsley may soon be attempting to model the collaboration, trust, "organic" developmental processes, and scientific "humility" Conn described as essential to surmounting the crisis of innovation now besetting the pharmaceuticals sector, as previously reported by VNC.
As Conn, himself a former Merck scientist, put it in VNC's earlier report, industry's tendency to reward "process" over actual discovery of new and effective drugs has left major global pharma companies scrambling to find successors to blockbuster drugs that will go off-patent a few months from now, putting the cork in billions in sector revenue, as recently reported by The New York Times.
There are "unprecedented opportunities for groups like ours to have an impact at a critical time," Conn told VNC for this story. In a near-panic for revenue, some pharmaceutical companies are shifting their focus from neuroscience drugs to oncology and other areas that are "viewed as less high risk," Conn said. In response, the National Institute of Health (NIH) "is responding by increasing support for drug discovery and translational research in academic institutions."
Partly as a result of the emerging model of collaborative research here, "Vanderbilt is widely viewed as the world's leading institution in neuroscience drug discovery," Conn asserted.
"We started early before the rest of the academic community recognized that we were heading towards this early shift in how drug discovery is executed and supported. Because of this, we are in an extremely strong position at an institutional level and have a well established infrastructure required for NS drug discovery research and a momentum that we can continue to build on," Conn continued.
Conn explained in Vanderbilt Medicine that drug discovery is advancing at Vanderbilt in part because university lawyers and technology transfer officials have proven willing to think creatively and "to move outside of the 'comfort zone' of the traditional academic setting." (Vanderbilt's looking to fill a new tech-transfer assistant vice chancellorship; and, Vanderbilt has in the past 18 months updated its conflict of interest policy, citing as an impetus "national questions about links between large biomedical/pharmaceutical companies and medical providers.")
Conn recently told VNC that in addition to the work of the units Lindsley and he have led, Vanderbilt's position has been strengthened by the work of, among others, "the Center for Molecular Neuroscience, headed by Randy Blakely; a world class animal and human imaging facility that is critical for translational NS research, headed by John Gore; and, major advances in building translational NS research in clinical departments such as Psychiatry and Neurology and the Vanderbilt Clinical and Translational Research Award (CTSA), led by Gordon Bernard."
Also noted: The Law & Neuroscience Project is domeciled at the Vanderbilt University School of Law. Its mission is to research and report on possible contributions of neuroscience to law. The Project is largely underwritten by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. VNC

The Philistines were a people, probably originally from Mycenaean Greece, who lived on Southern coast of Canaan around the time of the Israelites. Both Abraham and Isaac lived in the land of the Philistines during their travels (Gen 21 & Gen 26). The Philistine lands were avoided by the Jewish people while Moses was leading them through the desert. (Ex 13:17). The Philistines are not mentioned again until the book of Judges where they had become one of Israel's greatest foes, even subjugating them for a while. The story of Samson pitted the great warrior against the Philistines during a time when the Philistines had subjugated the Jews. The quarrel with the Philistines went on over hundreds of years. At the time of king Saul the Philistines were Israel's greatest threat. Goliath, who David slew, was a famous Philistine warrior who had made the warriors of Israel tremble. A common term of contempt for the Philistine was to refer to them as being "uncircumcised".
The word "philistine" (which is cognate with "Palestine") has come to mean "uncultured, commonplace and prosaic" in Modern English.[1]

Welcome to the California Missions Web Site. Much of California's history began with the Spanish Missions. The chain of 21 missions along California's El Camino Real ("The Royal Highway") represent the first arrival of non-Native Americans to California. Life for the California Native Americans was forever changed. In addition to Christianity, the missions brought many other things to California such as livestock, fruits, flowers, grains and industry. This was also the start of the civilization in which we live today. However, as a result of the arrival of the Spanish, many Native American lives were lost.

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125 (Issued 9/00)
This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. It revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of Statement 125's provisions without reconsideration.
This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Those standards are based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. This Statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.
A transfer of financial assets in which the transferor surrenders control over those assets is accounted for as a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial interests in the transferred assets is received in exchange. The transferor has surrendered control over transferred assets if and only if all of the following conditions are met:
- The transferred assets have been isolated from the transferor—put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferorand its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership.
- Each transferee (or, if the transferee is aqualifying special-purpose entity (SPE), each holder of its beneficial interests) has the right to pledge or exchange the assets (or beneficial interests) it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee (or holder) from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor.
- The transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through either (1) an agreement that both entitles and obligates the transferor to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity or (2) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets, other than through a cleanup call.
This Statement requires that liabilities and derivatives incurred or obtained by transferors as part of a transfer of financial assets be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It also requires that servicing assets and other retained interests in the transferred assets be measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, and retained interests, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of the transfer.
This Statement requires that servicing assets and liabilities be subsequently measured by (a) amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or loss and (b) assessment for asset impairment or increased obligation based on their fair values.
This Statement requires that a liability be derecognized if and only if either (a) the debtor pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the liability or (b) the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor under the liability either judicially or by the creditor. Therefore, a liability is not considered extinguished by an in-substance defeasance.
This Statement provides implementation guidance for assessing isolation of transferred assets, conditions that constrain a transferee, conditions for an entity to be a qualifying SPE, accounting for transfers of partial interests, measurement of retained interests, servicing of financial assets, securitizations,transfers of sales-type and direct financing lease receivables, securities lending transactions, repurchase agreements including "dollar rolls," "wash sales," loan syndications and participations, risk participations in banker's acceptances, factoring arrangements, transfers of receivables with recourse, and extinguishments of liabilities. This Statement also provides guidance about whether a transferor has retained effective control over assets transferred to qualifying SPEs through removal-of-accounts provisions, liquidation provisions, or other arrangements.
This Statement requires a debtor to (a) reclassify financial assets pledged as collateral and report those assets in its statement of financial position separately from other assets not so encumbered if the secured party has the right by contract or custom to sell or repledge the collateral and (b) disclose assets pledged as collateral that have not been reclassified and separately reported in the statement of financial position. This Statement also requires a secured party to disclose information about collateral that it has accepted and is permitted by contractor custom to sell or repledge. The required disclosure includes the fair value at the end of the period of that collateral, and of the portion of that collateral that it has sold or repledged, and information about the sources and uses of that collateral.
This Statement requires an entity that has securitized financial assets to disclose information about accounting policies, volume, cash flows, key assumptions made in determining fair values of retained interests, and sensitivity of those fair values to changes in key assumptions. It also requires that entities that securitize assets disclose for the securitized assets and any other financial assets it manages together with them (a) the total principal amount outstanding, the portion that has been derecognized, and the portion that continues to be recognized in each category reported in the statement of financial position, at the end of the period; (b) delinquencies at the end of the period; and (c) credit losses during the period.
In addition to replacing Statement 125 and rescinding FASB Statement No. 127, Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125, this Statement carries forward the actions taken by Statement 125. Statement 125 superseded FASB Statements No. 76, Extinguishment of Debt, and No. 77, Reporting by Transferors for Transfers of Receivables with Recourse. Statement 125 amended FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, to clarify that a debt security may not be classified as held-to-maturity if it can be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment. Statement 125 amended and extended to all servicing assets and liabilities the accounting standards for mortgage servicing rights now in FASB Statement No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities, and superseded FASB Statement No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights. Statement 125 also superseded FASB Technical Bulletins No. 84-4, In-Substance Defeasance of Debt, and No. 85-2, Accounting for Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs), and amended FASB Technical Bulletin No. 87-3, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Fees and Rights.
Statement 125 was effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and on or before March 31, 2001, except for certain provisions. Statement 127 deferred until December 31, 1997, the effective date (a) of paragraph 15 of Statement 125 and (b) for repurchase agreement, dollar-roll, securities lending, and similar transactions, of paragraphs 9-12 and 237(b) of Statement 125.
This Statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. This Statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Disclosures about securitization and collateral accepted need not be reported for periods ending on or before December 15, 2000, for which financial statements are presented for comparative purposes.
This Statement is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Other than those exceptions, earlier or retroactive application of its accounting provisions is not permitted.

A great day of victory was had today for the Sioux tribe at Standing Rock, with the Army backing down and no longer defending DAPL to build the pipeline across territory that the Sioux tribe states is sacred land housing their ancestors, which they state that even though they sold–they had written right concerning what could be done with the land. It is reported that the pipeline will now be rerouted away from the disputed Sioux territory.
And remember, this land was theirs first! Victory indeed! Shame on those who abused the Native Americans and the protestors. Congratulations to the Sioux and all the brave freedom fighters defending their rights!
–The Hollywood Sentinel
Chill E.B. Fights for Sioux Tribe at Standing Rock
About Chill E.B.
Legendary political rapper Chill E.B. has just released a new protest anthem– "They Don't Care About Us" in tribute to the brave Native American tribes fighting for their sacred land, at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota.
"This song echoes the sentiment of the Lakota Sioux community," Chill E.B. explains, who attended the recent protest in defense of Standing Rock in San Francisco. A veteran rap artist from Northern California, Chill E.B. has received numerous awards and accolades including The California Peace Award, among more. The mayor of his hometown, Jacksonville, North Carolina proclaimed October 14th as 'Chill E.B. Day'. In 2012 he received the international Human Rights Award presented by The Citizen's Commission on Human Rights.
Chill E.B. has opened for other major stars including Dr. Dre, NWA, M.C. Hammer, Naughty By Nature and many more. He has also performed in concert with the California Symphony, and shared the stage with Grammy winning jazz legends Stanley Clark and Chick Corea, among others. On December 3rd, 2016 Chill E.B. will embark on a one month Asian tour performing in Japan and Taiwan. He has been on an international humanitarian tour since 2010 which has taken him to 25 countries.
About Standing Rock
According to the Standing Rock council's website, "The Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation is home to Dakota and Lakota people of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Since time immemorial, they have lived and governed a vast territory throughout North and South Dakota, and parts of Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Currently, the Tribe is located in central North and South Dakota.
Despite strong objections from the Tribe from the first time they heard of the project on July 25, 2016, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) granted authorization to the Dakota Access Pipeline to cross Lake Oahe as part of the construction of a 1,100-mile pipeline that is proposed to carry over a half-million barrels of Bakken crude oil to Illinois and across four states. The current route of construction takes the pipeline less than one half mile from the Tribe's reservation border, and thus the Tribe maintains a sovereign interest in protecting its cultural resources that remain with the land.
All along the route of the pipeline are sites of religious and cultural significance to the Sioux people, including burial sites of their ancestors. The pipeline would cross the Tribe's traditional and ancestral lands and the construction of the pipeline jeopardizes many sacred places. While federal law requires meaningful consultation with the Tribe on these matters, that has not happened here. The Tribe opposes DAPL because the U.S. government must–by law–honor the Tribes religious liberty which includes the land of their ancestors, and protect their sacred sites and precious waters."
According to Opponents of the DAPL:
1, White Invaders Stole America from the Native Americans–now they are trying to do it again.
a, The U.S. Government has given back a tiny portion of the land to Native Tribes, a tiny token of what they deserve and can never be repaid for the theft, rape, pillage, and massacre
b, The government again began buying / stealing these token land grants back, and leaving Native Americans with only tiny areas called reservations–that itself is not acceptable
c, The government is now attempting to infringe on the rights of these Native American Reservations
2, The path of DAPL is through sovereign land
3, The land of the Native Americans is sacred, and houses their ancestors–all a part of their religious worship and religious freedom
4, DAPL is dirty fuel, that will contribute to the destruction of the environment of many
5, DAPL backers are killing cattle owned by the Native Americans
6, Police are violating the constitutional rights of peaceful protesters, firing at them and journalists with rubber bullets, and illegally removing peaceful protesters from tribal lands
7, At least one city near the reservations did not want the pipeline near them, and the DAPL reportedly took heed, but–the tribes argue, are not giving the same respect to the tribes
8, DAPL got away with EPA oversight and regulation, by covertly treating the pipeline build as numerous small construction projects, rather than the massive one it really is
9, Water contamination is a valid risk, as the pipeline could reportedly leak and threaten the water supply of the tribes
10, The Army Core of Engineers, a civilian and military branch of the U.S. army was reportedly accused in 2011 of accepting "cost projections from land developer KBR, in a no-bid, noncompetitive, contract." After high ranking Army Core member "Bunny" Greenhouse complained about this act, she was reportedly demoted from her Senior Executive Service position, stripped of her top secret security clearance, and-according to Greenhouse, had her office booby-trapped with a trip-wire from which she sustained a knee injury. A U.S. District court reportedly awarded Greenhouse $970,000 in full restitution of lost wages, compensatory damages, and attorney fees, according to Wikipedia. Possible corruption is occurring with the Army Core related to DAPL, protesters argue.
Defenders of the DAPL state:
1, Crude oil reportedly accounts for just 6% disasters within pipeline issues
2, The tribes sold the land to to the government that they want to lay pipes on–years ago, for over 5 million dollars, and have no rights to the land anymore (tribes argue they still have a legal say in the land per earlier agreements)
3, America needs to get off reliance on foreign oil, and this will help America
4, DAPL offered the tribes millions of dollars for some of their land, but they refused, so they said they bought land near them instead
5, protesters have been trespassing on land now bought and owned by DAPL, and damaging their equipment and committing acts of vandalism
6, America needs energy to survive, and function as a country
7, Army Core made amends, and does a lot of good for the environment, are following the law, and doing their job
8, The CEO of DAPL has put money towards conservation, cares for the environment, and is not violating rights or the law
9, America needs the pipeline to make fuel more plentiful for energy, and less expensive for Americans
Trump Supports the Pipeline
The CEO of DAPL said he will not re-route the pipeline. He donated over $100,000 to the Trump Campaign, and Trump is predicted to support the pipeline, having reportedly invested over 1 million dollars in to DAPL. President Obama recently signed an order temporarily halting construction of the pipeline near the Sioux tribes.

Why it's Time to Change Our Approach to Long-Term Care
One of the biggest question mark hanging over every boomers' retirement plan is how much money they will need for medical costs. It's a figure that is impossible to predict, and can be financially devastating if not adequately covered.
Rising health-care costs has made long-term care prohibitively expensive for aging Americans. Prolonged hospital stays or long-term care needs like a nursing or rehabilitation home can break budgets, and are generally not fully covered by health insurance or Medicare and Medicaid.
Long-term care insurance (LTC) can help cover some of the costs of long-term care beyond a predetermined period. About 70% of older Americans will receive long term care at some point in their life, yet according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, private long term care insurance is purchased by less than 10% of seniors.
Last week, the federal Commission on Long-Term Care released more than two dozen recommendations detailing ways to enhance and make services for older Americans and people with disabilities more affordable. While the commission didn't endorse specific new programs,it draws more attention to the growing affordability problem.
Chris Orestis, a long-term care specialist and the CEO of Life Care Funding, has made formal recommendations to the commission and created a model to provide an option for middle-class people who are not wealthy enough to afford paying for long-term care out of pocket, and not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid assistance. Orestis discussed some of the findings of the commission and how we need to change our approach to long-term care. Here's what he had to say:
Boomer: Does the Congressional Long Term Care Commission report offer new ways in which long-term care is financed?
Orestis: The LTC Commission deliberations and report are a confirmation that Medicare and Medicaid alone cannot sustain the aging population's reliance on these programs to fund long-term care services. The commission stated that it is an unsustainable proposition to expect Medicare and Medicaid to continue paying the vast majority of long-term care costs in this country and that private market solutions will need to be a growing contributor to the equation.
Boomer: Why is long term-care insurance no longer the solution?
Orestis: In 2000, there were over 100 long-term care insurers in the market. Today there are less than a couple dozen. Major companies like MetLife and Prudential have abandoned the market because they cannot make the product work profitably. Remaining companies such as John Hancock and Genworth have been forced to increase premiums and reduce benefits on existing policies they sold in years past. Ironically, as the baby boomers began turning 65, the long-term care insurance market shrank instead of growing as had been expected.
Boomer: What are a few of the report's highlights?
Orestis: The report was a step in the right direction as it makes very clear that there is a crisis situation facing the country but six of the panel members voted against the commission's final report because they do not believe it goes far enough in recommending specific ways to address the financing of long term care.
Boomer: What are some underutilized private-funding options recommended by the report?
Orestis: There were numerous policy proposals given to the commission that are part of the record, but not specifically included in the final report. The report calls for private market innovations to help create cost savings and new financial options but does not give enough specifics.
Boomer: What is the option for middle class people who are not wealthy enough to pay for long-term care and not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid?
Orestis: One option recommended to the commission that addresses the middle class is converting life insurance policies owned by seniors into long-term care benefits instead of encouraging seniors to lapse or surrender policies to qualify for Medicaid quicker. Numerous states have introduced legislation in 2013, and Texas passed a law that would require its Medicaid department to inform seniors that own life insurance that it is their legal right to convert those policies into a long term care benefit by selling the death benefit and using the available funds as a living benefit to pay for their senior care and remain private pay for a longer period of time.

This article is a reprint of Wise Bread's contribution to OPEN Forum from American Express -- where small business owners can get advice from experts and share tips with each other.
Evaluating employment candidates and selecting the right one for critical positions with your business isn't easy. Asking questions that focus on work-related tasks and clarify skills while avoiding illegal ones are essential to qualifying prospective employees, as Thursday recommended in Questions You Can't Ask When Hiring. Many candidates don't have a flawless background: they could be perfect matches or potentially bad hires.
To gain deeper insight into a candidate's capabilities, take a moment to consider how certain quirks, unusual career paths, etc. might benefit your business. Long-time sources of angst for both hiring decision-makers and candidates are frequent job changes (or "job hopping") and listing of personal activities on résumés. Another concern, appearing more frequently than ever, is the influence of side businesses on employee dedication.
Here are techniques for evaluating candidates with just a few résumé and work-related quirks.
Changing jobs frequently is often viewed as a disqualifier and the job-hopping reputation as a label to be avoided. Even though the days of career-long union with one employer are long gone, candidates still fret about having held multiple jobs in relatively short periods of time and employers still frown upon frequent moves. As a business owner, you'll need to vet the candidates who pursue challenge and those who move aimlessly from one position to the next.
In an interview, ask: Can you tell me why you chose to work for Companies 1, 2, and 3? What challenges did you overcome at Companies 1, 2, and 3?
Embracethose who have been recruited for specified talents or changed jobs to take advantage of opportunities for professional growth. Pursue those who have contributed more to their employers than they have cost not only for salary and benefits but also recruitment and training. Consider extenuating circumstances such as company relocations and restructuring that may have led to greater-than-average career moves. Also, note that changing jobs every five to 10 years can strengthen adaptability to new workplaces.
Avoidthose who seem only to be hired by one lousy company after the next. Even the best candidates make bad selections in employers, but they learn from their mistakes so that job hopping isn't endless or fruitless in terms of skills enhancement. Not-so-great candidates can't seem to get a handle on what type of company, position, and environment suits their capabilities.
There's a persistent concern that owning and running a business, in addition to holding down a job, may distract an employee from the employer's needs. Being cautious is reasonable but having a side income shouldn't be a reason to pass over an otherwise-qualified candidate or make a job-seeker hide business ownership from potential employers.
In an interview, ask: What motivated you to start a business? What have you learned from running your own business? What business-ownership skills do you think will be most useful in this position with my company?
Embrace those who have sought to expand professional capabilities and gain experience in areas that will benefit your company (e-commerce or social media, for example), and uncovered and serviced unmet market needs successfully. But even those who may not have experienced significant success may have gained deeper appreciation for the difficulty of achieving company profit goals while balancing customer expectations and employee needs. And, consider that some may have opted out of the traditional workforce for a time to meet personal obligations, such as navigating a spouse's relocation or staying in one geographic area until children graduate from high school.
Avoidthose who run businesses that require constant surveillance and have insufficient management support, such as a high-traffic mall retailer. And, if you are hiring for a position that requires frequent travel and overtime hours, consider the impact of managing multiple accountabilities along with juggling work and side-business schedules.
Infusing personality and personal interests into candidate's marketing materials (résumés, LinkedIn profiles, tweets, etc.) might indicate that a candidate won't be able to focus on the business at hand. But it's just as likely that the candidate is able to better manage stress and interact with diverse groups of people as a result of outside interests.
In an interview, ask: How has your involvement in _________ (rock climbing, PTA board membership, fraternity or sorority leadership, etc.) helped you to make workplace contributions? Where do you draw the line between personal and professional activities? How do you manage your time?
Embracethose who have a strong record of accomplishments in varied environments (small business, corporate, and non-profit realms, for example). They are able to leverage their professional capabilities, interpersonal skills, and personality to achieving organizational goals.
Avoidthose who have few or no accomplishments. It's likely that their personal interests will take precedence over work-related duties.
Quirks or not, candidates who make valuable employees will convey how they've consistently applied professional capabilities, personal attributes, and innate strengths to delivering results. Ask thoughtful questions; let candidates reveal who they are, how they make decisions, what motivates them, and how they've overcome challenges. Then you'll know who to hire.
