The Other Loophole: Bulletproof Armor
Armor that stops police bullets is easier to buy than you might think.
State Police on scene following a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Dec. 14, 2012.
Adam Lanza wore a utility vest as he opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last Friday, killing 26 people—20 of them children under the age of 10. James Holmes, the alleged perpetrator of the Aurora, Col., theater massacre in July, wore an armor vest and a ballistic helmet.
"The people intent on committing these atrocities outfit themselves with the macabre tools of their trade ... and the defensive gear to ensure they do the most damage," says Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the Violence Policy Center. a D.C.-based gun control research organization.
Though body armor is typically worn by law enforcement or military, it is not difficult for people like Lanza or Holmes to obtain.
[RELATED: Gun Control Talk Sends Shooters Shopping]
Multiple body armor companies refused to comment on record for this story, citing sensitivity to the Newtown shooting. But bulletproof vests, stab-proof vests and ballistic helmets can be easily found and bought online from companies like Safeguardclothing.com, or through local dealers of companies like Armor Express. Available products include both soft body armor, which is made out of woven fibers and can stop a bullet from a typical police handgun, as well as hard body armor plates, which is made of metal or ceramic and can stop rounds from a more powerful weapon like an AK-47.
Gun control advocacy groups like Sugarmann's say the body armor worn by the shooters in Newtown and Aurora undermines the argument made by gun advocates that shootings can be stopped by someone with a handgun. Sites like GunsSaveLives.com collect stories of people who successfully used a firearm to defend themselves or others, and an incident map on the site includes hundreds of such stories.
"Anybody with a credit card and a very clean record can build their own army in America—from an assault weapon with a high capacity magazine down to a ballistic helmet down to body armor," says Sugarmann, who believes the U.S. needs tighter restrictions on the sale of body armor.
[PHOTOS: Sandy Hook Shooting Victims]
The U.S. has a federal ban on the possession of body armor by convicted felons, and further regulations on sales of body armor exist in some states. But one major company told U.S. News that body armor is easy for even felons to acquire, and noted that they recently cooperated with the FBI in providing the serial number to armor purchased from the company by a felon.
Connecticut has one of the toughest laws on body armor, prohibiting residents from buying or selling body armor except through a face-to-face sale. In 2009, New York introduced legislation intended to restrict the sale of body armor to law enforcement officers. Though the bill never became law, body armor sites appear worried more legislation is coming soon.
"Make your body armor purchase now before it becomes much more expensive and inconvenient," BulletProofMe.com warns on its website, "if not prohibited altogether."
Update, 01/08:
Connecticut state police originally said Adam Lanza was wearing a bulletproof vest. State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance now says he was wearing a utility vest.

Dear Fellow Constitionists,
Over the past few months the Constitution Party, with your help, has made inroads on several fronts – a new website, a new newsletter format, social media and internet advertising, ballot access battles in several states, and many more behind-the-scenes efforts by tireless patriot volunteers across the nation. We are making tremendous strides towards helping states build and improve their websites, improving our media relations, growing our social media outreach, too many ways to be listed in this brief email.
We are actively engaged in building a strong political opposition to the current two-party duopoly that is rapidly descending into a chaotic tyranny, as is evident from President Obama's recent State of the Union address to Congress, the nation, and the world.
President Obama laid down the gauntlet at his first cabinet meeting of the year when he said, "We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need. I've got a pen and I've got a phone."
Click here to hear Darrell Castle (2008 Vice-presidential candidate) and Cynthia Davis (four-term Missouri State Legislator) present the Constitution Party Response to the State of the Union.
Our goal is simple: we want to re-establish the American Constitutional Republic, according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers.
Forget everything you have known about or experienced under the tutelage of the current two major parties. The Constitution Party is not your granddaddy's political party. It is not your father's political party. It probably isn't the political party you first supported. The Constitution Party is committed to putting Principles before Party. Which principles? The principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence, the 1787 Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Find out about our basic Seven Principles on the national website.
The Constitution Party does not play Super Bowl politics. The Constitution and the impact it has on the American people, indeed the world, is not a simple football game between two opposing teams, whose strategy is to win the victory at all costs. Scoring a constitutionally-correct touchdown means standing up against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and saying "No, that is not within the authority granted to my office by the federal Constitution (or state Constitution, etc.). I will not do it."
The Constitution Party is committed to putting forth constitutionally-committed candidates. Congressmen, the President, the Courts, elected and appointed officials at all levels of government have lost the vision of what constitutes a representative republic based on the Constitution. It is time for the Constitution, and the American people who believe it its principles, to have duly elected officials willing to make the tough decisions necessary to save the American economy and American Liberty.
We need you to make real change happen in America.
We need your time, your volunteerism. We are a grassroots, from the heart, organization. 99.9% of us take no pay for the work we do to build the Constitution Party. We do not rely on lobbyists or Daddy Warbucks. We are fighting against a corrupt system, which has no desire to support a political party that will not give those in charge the power, glory, and gain they seek. We need volunteers at all levels. Visit the State Parties page of our website to contact your state leaders or area chairman. Roll up your sleeves, it's a hard job, but somebody has to do it and that somebody is you.
We need your financial support. It doesn't matter how small or how often, just donate. Only you can provide the resources necessary to fight for ballot access in several states. Only you can give us the resources to expand our advertising outreach. Only you can choose to invest in a political party with the will to make the hard decisions necessary to restore Liberty. Only you can make a donation today!
We need your Vote. We need your commitment to vote for, or become, a constitutionally-committed candidate. No one else is going to do it for you. Stop wasting your vote on candidates who continue to support party over principle. If you don't vote or run, then who? Contact your State Party or area chairman to find out more.
Explore our website and our commitment to the Constitution, then decide for yourselves if you are willing to take the next step and become an active participant the great struggle for Liberty, both for ourselves and our future generations.

National Communications Director

My 99 Silverado with a 3in suspension in front and a 3.5 in rear needs new shocks. As of now i have an old pair of the standard white fabtech shocks. Whats a good shock or should i just replace the ones i have with the same company? I dont want to spend an arm and a leg, but i dont want to sacrifice comfort. Last question is a coil over shock worth the extra money?

From what i understand the coil over shocks are def. worth the money ( we also use the coil over system on our humvees, and it can take a beating!) but i would only go with a coil over system if your going to be doing alot or serious off roading...if not i would just go with what you had or maybe one step up.Justin - Beavercreek,OH

coilover shocks are meant for real off roading because they are so good and can take such a beating. i would replace yours with a set of skyjacker Nitro 8000 shocks. they are around $40 a piece and wont break the bank. i have only had great experience with them and they ride really well.PETE

Win tickets to see Josh Turner
A Hannah, S.C. native, Turner has been songwriting and performing since he was a young child, and in support of music education, created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts/music. As a high school student, he had very little access to music education, therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts in the schools.
Turner released his fifth studio album, Punching Bag on June 12, 2012 which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart. The debut single, "Time is Love" was #1 on the Best of 2012 Billboard Country Chart. The Associated Press says, "With Punching Bag, Turner once again proves he ranks among the most effective -- and most hard-core country -- performers of his generation."

The BP Teachers of Excellence program is currently taking nominations of outstanding teachers who are making a difference for young people. Julie Hasquet with BP told us that the deadline to make these nominations is quickly approaching…
Hasquet: "BP Teachers of Excellence is a program that BP started in 1995 as a way to just recognize the outstanding educators we have all across the state. BP is very invested in building a workforce of Alaskans that can work in our state, and acknowledging the teachers who teach our young people every day is just a great way to build that workforce. So it's become a very popular program, we like to expand it every year and get more people involved, we're up against a February 15th deadline for nominations.
Hasquet told us that teacher nominations can be made online…
Hasquet: "The nomination process is very easy, we have a website, it's bpteachers.com, and all you do is you go on there, you fill out brief information about the teacher, and then it goes into the nomination system, so its super easy to do, bpteachers.com. We'd encourage folks to participate, think about that great teacher that's making a difference for your child, of if you're a teenager; you love a teacher at your high school. You might remember, last year, Homer High School had one our teachers of the year, Sean Campbell was awarded, and also we had Melissa Cloud [West Homer Elementary], Patrick Nolden [Soldotna High School], and Shelle Worsfold[West Homer Elementary], all local Kenai area teachers who were acknowledged, so we're excited about doing it again this year, and we hope people will get involved."

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The director of South Carolina's unemployment agency is scheduled to tell senators his plans to toughen rules for people drawing jobless benefits.
Maj. Gen. Abraham Turner is scheduled to testify Thursday to the Senate Labor Commerce and Industry Committee.
Earlier this week, Turner told a Senate panel about a new policy requiring people to accept job offers that pay incrementally less than their previous wages. He also plans to reduce the number of weeks someone can receive unemployment benefits if they were let go for absenteeism, poor attitude, violating policy or poor work quality.
Turner said he wanted to brief the full committee before implementing the changes.
Republican Sen. Kevin Bryant says the changes don't go far enough. He says anyone fired for misconduct should not get any benefits.

|Years active
Norman Eugene Walker, known as Clint Walker (born May 30, 1927), is a retired American actor. He is perhaps best known for his cowboy role as "Cheyenne Bodie" in the western television series, Cheyenne.
Life and career[edit]
Walker was born in Hartford, Illinois.[1] He left school to work at a factory and on a river boat, then joined the United States Merchant Marine at the age of seventeen in the last months of World War II.[1] After leaving the Merchant Marine, he labored at odd jobs in Brownwood, Texas, Long Beach, California, and Las Vegas, where he worked as a doorman at the Sands Hotel.[1] He also was employed as a sheet-metal worker and a nightclub bouncer.
He became a client of Henry Willson who renamed him "Jett Norman"[2] and appeared in a Bowery Boys film Jungle Gents as a Tarzan-type character.
In Los Angeles, he was hired by Cecil B. DeMille to appear in The Ten Commandments. A friend in the film industry helped get him a few bit-parts which brought him to the attention of Warner Bros., which was developing a western style television series.
Walker's good looks and imposing physique (he stood 6 feet, 6 inches [198 cm] tall with a 48-inch chest and a 32-inch waist[3]) helped him land an audition where he won the lead role in the TV series Cheyenne. Billed as "Clint" Walker, he was cast as Cheyenne Bodie, a cowboy hero in the post-American Civil War era. While the series regularly capitalized on Walker's rugged frame with frequent bare-chested scenes, it was well written and acted. It proved hugely popular for eight seasons on the ABC television network. Walker's pleasant baritone singing voice was also occasionally utilized on the series and led Warner Brothers to produce an album of Walker doing traditional songs and ballads.[4]
Walker then played roles in several big-screen films, including a trio of westerns for Gordon Douglas: Fort Dobbs in 1958, Yellowstone Kelly in 1959, and Gold of the Seven Saints in 1961, the comedy Send Me No Flowers in 1964, the actual leading role despite being billed under Frank Sinatra in the wartime drama None But the Brave in 1965, The Night of the Grizzly in 1966, and as the meek convict Samson Posey, in the war drama The Dirty Dozen in 1967. In 1969, New York Times film critic Howard Thompson, in reviewing Walker's performance in the movie More Dead Than Alive, described the actor as "a big, fine-looking chap and about as live-looking as any man could be. And there is something winning about his taciturn earnestness as an actor, although real emotion seldom breaks through".[5] In 1958, Thompson described the actor, then starring in Fort Dobbs, as "the biggest, finest-looking Western hero ever to sag a horse, with a pair of shoulders rivaling King Kong's".[6]
During the 1970s he returned to television, starring in a number of made-for-TV western films as well as a short-lived series in 1974 called Kodiak. He starred in the made-for-television cult film Killdozer! the same year. In 1998, he voiced Nick Nitro in the film Small Soldiers.
Literary pursuits[edit]
Walker met western author Kirby Jonas through James Drury, a mutual friend. Jonas and Walker subsequently spent two years collaborating on a story line by Walker involving gold and the Yaqui, a partnership that led to the publication of the 2003 Western novel Yaqui Gold (ISBN 978-1-891423-08-6).[3]
Clint Walker has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1505 Vine Street, near its intersection with Sunset Boulevard (approximate coordinates: 34°05′53″N 118°19′36″W / 34.098084°N 118.326643°W).
In 2004, he was inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Personal life[edit]
Walker has been married to:
- Verna Garver, married 1948, divorced 1968; they had one daughter, Valerie (born 1950)
- Giselle Hennessy, married 1974, died 1994
- Susan Cavallari, married 1997
Walker's twin sister, Neoma L. "Lucy" Westbrook (born May 30, 1927), died November 11, 2000 at her residence in Hartford, Illinois, aged 73. Walker currently lives in Grass Valley, California.

HOUSTON—Dozens of children who are looking for new homes got to meet with people who are looking to adopt.
Child Protective Services held an adoption festival in Katy Friday for kids who are older, part of a sibling group, or have special needs. They're in cps custody after being abused, neglected or abandoned by their biological parents.
One couple had just got an adoption license.
"Our belief is if we step forward to help these young people, give them a step forward, give them some encouragement, let them know someone believes in them and loves them, that could really change their world and the walk that they're taking in life," said Richard Simmons.

Oak Ridge's Recovery Act total (revised)
In an earlier post, I reported that DOE's Oak Ridge office had obligated all of its Recovery Act money by the Sept. 30 deadline. In that post, I used the earlier total as reported by DOE in August of $1.858 billlion, while asking the agency for confirmation on that number.
As it turns out, the Oak Ridge Recovery Act fund had grown since then.
According to John Shewairy, DOE's chief spokesman in Oak Ridge, the total now is $1,898,544,000.
Asked about the additional $40 million or so, Shewairy offered this response: "We rec'd additional input of ARRA funds in the Science and Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy portfolios."

(Born January 21, 1939) -- St. Bonaventure has had all sorts of great basketball players over the years. Two of the best were a brother act from Brooklyn.
Tom Stith and older brother Sam certainly were a dynamic duo in Olean. Sam was an all-around player who could play defense and score as well. Tom, meanwhile, was the one who collected attention. That happens to scorers.
Tom was named an All-American in 1960 and 1961. He scored more than 2,000 points in three years of varsity play. As a junior, he averaged 31 points per game.
All of that caught the eye of the New York Knicks. He went second in the NBA draft, right behind Walt Bellamy. Stith broke in to the NBA but only played a couple of seasons due to tuberculosis.
Still, the Stith name is remembered fondly. He's a member of the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. Stith died in 2010.

Babson Park, Mass. - October 9, 2012 - A strong team effort helped guide the Springfield College women's volleyball team to a three-set victory in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on Tuesday.
With the set scores of 25-21, 25-22, 27-25, the Pride improved to 18-4, 5-1 in league play. The Pride amassed 74 digs and eight blocks as its defense shut down Babson, who fell for just the second time in their last 11 matches, dropping their record to 16-5 overall and 3-3 in the NEWMAC.,
Springfield's offense was anchored by junior Tessa Smolinski and senior Mary Consol, who each finished with 12 kills in the victory. Smolinski also paced the Pride with 25 digs, while Consol registered a team-high five block assists. First-year Elise Brogan chipped in with eight kills, sophomore Amy Entel added 19 digs, and sophomore Molly Giannattasio finished with a match-high 39 set assists.
First-year Mary Donahue once again led all players with 14 kills in defeat for the Beavers, while fellow first-years Alicia Wilde and Krissy Robertson finished with nine and eight kills, respectively. Senior captain Kathleen Lynch posted 37 assists, sophomore libero Kseniya Stepanova recorded a team-high 18 digs.
The Pride pulled away late in the first set, snapping a 21-21 tie with a 4-0 run that featured two kills by Smolinski and another by Consol. The visitors' decisive burst in the second set came much earlier on, as Consol recorded three straight kills as part of a 4-0 burst that turned a 7-7 deadlock into an 11-7 advantage. Babson never quite recovered for the remainder of the set, as the Pride maintained a lead of at least two points on their way to the 25-22 victory.
The third set was the closest of the night, featuring 13 ties and six lead changes. Babson pushed Springfield to the brink with a late run that made it 24-21, but the Pride fought off three straight set points and then another after the Beavers made it 25-24. Following a kill by Consol that evened the set at 25-25, Springfield moved ahead on a Babson error and then clinched the 27-25 set victory and the match on a Smolinski's 12th kill of the night.
Springfield will travel to Maryland this weekend to compete in the Salisbury Invitational. The Pride will play on Saturday and Sunday, taking on Richard Stockton, Salisbury, New Paltz, and Mary Washington.

A Florida man is in custody after he and another suspect allegedly attempted to use forged credit cards to purchase merchandise at Bass Pro Shops in Clarksville Saturday.
Juan Moreira, 52, Hialeah, Fla., faces charges of forgery, a class C felony; fraud, a class D felony; and theft, a class D felony.
Moreira and another adult suspect were at Bass Pro Shops Saturday, and aroused the suspicions of store employees when they attempted to make a purchase. Both men attempted to flee prior to the arrival of the police, and a "younger individual" was able to leave in a dark green Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck, according to the arrest report. Meanwhile, Moreira was detained by mall security on Bass Pro Shops' property.
When a police officer arrived, he found five credit cards in Moreira's possession, of which three were issued to a "Juan Ordoqui," according to the report. The other two were in Moreira's name. The officer asked Moreira where his friend went, but Moreira claimed he had come to the store alone and used a bus to get there, the report states. Moreira had a Toyota key in his possession.
The store manager informed the police officer that Moreira and his companion had been captured on video making purchases several weeks prior to the incident Saturday, according to the report.
The officer contacted his superior, who then contacted a Secret Service agent. The agent arrived on the scene, determined that the three credit cards in Juan Ordoqui's name were forged and read Moreira his rights, the officer wrote.
When pressed, Moreira claimed he had found the cards in Miami and had attempted to use them to purchase merchandise at Bass Pro Shops, and submitted a written statement to that effect. Moreira also had a hotel key card in his possession for a Marriott Hotel in Louisville, according to the report. The Secret Service agent asked Moreira for permission to search the hotel room.
"At first he stated yes, then stated no and became uncooperative," the report states.
Moreira was then taken to the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex. Moreira's status at the jail could not be confirmed by press time.

Gallitzin Borough Council is sizing up community interest in installing natural gas service to Gallitzin residents and some surrounding boroughs.
Working with L. Robert Kimball and Associates of Johnstown and Peoples Natural Gas of Pittsburgh, the borough was advised to send out surveys to residents, which went out with the most recent wave of water bills on the first of the month.
Aside from inquiring as to the residents' interest in switching to natural gas, the survey is helping to collect data – including addresses of interested residents – that will give Peoples Natural Gas officials an idea of what the addition of the Gallitzin area would bring to its network:
How many appliances would residents plan to convert to natural gas – or would they convert their furnace? Which method of home heating do residents currently use? And finally, whether residents would be a part of a petition to bring the service to their area. The surveys are due by Wednesday and can be mailed to the Gallitzin Borough Office at 411 Convent St., faxed to 886-6811 or emailed to GallitzinWaterAuthority@gmail. com. Extra copies of the survey are available at the borough office.
"At this point right now, we're at about a 90 percent positive response," said council President Roger Renninger. "We know that the interest is there ... They're looking forward to having another option, instead of being burdened by Penelec or finding the cheapest oil around."
He urged residents who haven't already returned their survey to do so. He said that will only increase council's range of knowledge on public interest or circumstances, allowing it to work more closely with PNG to find a solution that's feasible for all borough residents.
He also said the relatively low operating costs of natural gas make it the most efficient heating method for businesses.
"Hopefully, it'll be an opportunity to bring in some new businesses," he said. "We're maybe lacking a little there."
A majority of the borough operates on electric heaters, and addition of natural gas service would impact coal and oil use. But, as Renninger sees it, that's a small(er) price to pay.
"The skyrocketing cost of electricity is getting out of hand," he said.
The Peoples Natural Gas official working with Gallitzin Borough declined to comment. Solid details or figures about the plan, how it will work or when it could get under way are scarce. However, Renninger is optimistic that it could be the right fit for the community.
"I absolutely believe it's feasible and could be economically beneficial to Gallitzin Borough."

Webb calls for 'urgent' review of consultancy charging
by William Robins on Nov 27, 2012 at 10:14
Pensions minister Steve Webb has written to the Association of British Insurers (ABI) calling for an 'urgent review' of consultancy charging.
Consultancy charging takes money from employee contributions before they have been paid into a pension pot, directing them to the corporate adviser who helped to set up and administer a workplace pension scheme.
The Financial Services Authority has said consultancy charges can reduce contributions but only down to a minimum of 8%.
However there has been fierce lobbying for the ABI for the regulator to soften its stance.
Webb (pictured) said consultancy charging on qualifying schemes could be banned depending on the review's findings.
Writing to ABI director general Otto Thoresen, Webb said: 'I am increasing concerned about the way consultancy charges might interact with automatic enrolment.
'They should only be deducted from an individual's pot where there is a tangible benefit to that individual.
'I have received strong representations on this issue, including a number of calls for an outright ban on consultancy charging in qualifying schemes, and the FSA has expressed concerns about whether consultancy charging in automatic enrolment schemes will be consistent with its rules.
The letter continued: 'My officials are ready to carry out an urgent review of policy and practice in this area....Once I am in possession of the facts, I shall be able to decide whether or not to permit consultancy charges to be levied on automatic enrolment schemes.'

Now someone tell me the difference between a consultancy charge reducing the effective contribution rate to below the 8% banded earnings minimum and the NEST initial charge of 1.8% of contribution......double standards? Not ok for advisers to be paid their keep but ok for NEST as they need to repay a loan back to the Government?report this

It is ridiculous that we are 5 weeks from the end of commission, yet this review is only just taking place.
I'm not surprised it's happening, just that it's happening now. We'll see how this pans out over the coming weeks, but I expect to see a ban on consultancy charging in some form or another. Whether thats simply on policies/schemes where the AE contribution s taken below 8%, or whether it's blanket unless advisers can evidence that they are providing advice to the members.
If it's the former it brings about the question 'which of the following 3 choices are you, Mr Employer, going to make?'
1. Increase your monthly contributions to the member to facilitate Consultancy Charging?
2. Pay a fee?
3. Do nothing and receive no advice?
The fourth option is engaging with the workforce to encourage them to increase their own contributions in order to pay the adviser. Good luck with that.
Of course if the employer chooses to they can make it part of the scheme rules that the members pay say 5% net instead of 4%, but that could be too much for some and you'd have more people opting out just because an adviser needs paying...
I should have been a chefreport this

@ Roydo - unlikely! In most cases the member will get a direct offer pack at best and chucked in a default fund. The benefit would come because a GPP will be cheaper... unless of course you build in a Consultancy Charge., then it might not.
The employer gets the advice in most cases, not the member, so why should it be the member that foots the bill, unless they are getting pension surgeries, ongoing reviews etc...report this

I've not been in the corporate market for 18 years now (and never regretted switching to personal lines), but might not one approach be to say to the employer:- Allowing for our consultancy charge, the total scheme contribution rate will be [say] 8.25%? Or is that too simple and practical?report this

"Once I am in possession of the facts"
I love it, we have already started auto enrolment that eventually will impact on all workers in the UK.
We have a government calling out to professional bodies saying ask your members to help smaller companies ( Us IFAs)
You have the RDR saying you cannot give advice without direct charging on one hand.
Then you have a different rule for "Consultancy" yet to be agreed, and the FSA want me to announce my service offering in about the next month.
How can a small FA practice really come up with a real business plan? Political and regulatory interference has gone mad!
So if i advise on a scheme that is not a QWP I have one rule. If I advise on a scheme that is a QWP I have another.
I thought RDR was supposed to get rid of adviser bias. It will do when we just stop advising period.
This whole lot is half baked. It is not ike the regulators and polititians have not had plenty of time to get " possession of the facts" in all the consultations and other studies they have undertaken according to the accounts to the TSC.

A number of calls he's had you know..not just one!
By January that number could be up to..ooo...four.
It's not on you know...he's a very busy man and the more you call the more he will have to..eh...consult...and gather facts...then, well, then you're really for it. Because he's going to show you some serious Tangible Benefit form that consultancy....that he didn't actually pay for...you did, but that is okay, because all your benefit will be Tangible.

These guys beggar belief. I did an appointment yesterday evening yes 6.30pm to give some general advice. At the meeting the lady produced her booklet for the pension scheme which her employer is offering.
The scheme is run by Barclays who take 3% of the first years contribution and 0.5% of every subsequent contribution.
What advice is given. None a booklet with the usual choice of funds, adventurous, balanced and cautious or individual funds should you wish to choose carrying a higher amc.
Now what is the girl to do for advice. With 35 years to retirement if she goes into the wrong portfolio it is going to be more detrimental to her than paying any fees I might choose.
What planet do MPs live on, they expect everyone but themselves to work for nothing.
No wonder Nadine Dorris went off to the Jungle she wanted to get away from the idiots she has to work with.report this

Poultney man denies domestic chargeBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | July 06,2013A Poultney man charged with slamming a womans head into a windshield during an argument denied the charge in Rutland criminal court this week.
Ronald J. Vaughn, 62, pleaded innocent to a misdemeanor charge of domestic assault and was released at the end of the hearing Wednesday on conditions that included he stay away from and not harass the woman he allegedly assaulted.
A 20-year-old woman told police that Vaughn assaulted her at around 6 p.m. Tuesday in the driveway of 322 College St. in Poultney, according to court records.
The woman told police she had arrived at the house shortly after 5 p.m. to find Vaughn inside. She said Vaughn asked her to go to the store to buy him cigarettes. When she replied that she had no money, she said he insulted her to the point that she decided to leave.
But as she was walking toward the car, she said, Vaughn ran after her and pushed her to the ground.
When she tried to get back to her feet, she told police, he grabbed her by the back of her head and slammed her face into her car windshield.
That account was supported by the womans friend, Denver Griswold, 21, who told police she stepped between Vaughn and the woman to end the assault. Trooper Jason Johnson of the Vermont State Police also said the womans upper lip was slightly swollen and she had minor bruising on one arm.
In an interview with police, Vaughn acknowledged arguing with the woman but he denied assaulting her a denial echoed by his wife and 35-year-old stepson who witnessed the incident.
Vicki Vaughn and James Vaughn told police the woman tried to strike Ronald Vaughn during the argument and that Vaughn held the womans arms to prevent her from hitting him, but he never struck her or pushed her head into the windshield.

Siege of Orgrimmar and the world of the idea
I'd spent the whole night distracted anyway by the little touches of the raid so far - the fight with the Fallen Protectors started a chain of thought that stayed with me. These people were dead because, in part, of actions I'd taken while I was playing as Horde. After all, I stood next to Garrosh in the Shrine of Two Moons as he said that he would learn from the mogu. I helped him steal the Divine Bell from Darnassus. I watched him use it on Ichi, discarding a loyal servant like a broken toy when it didn't work. And more of course - I served Hellscream in breaching the Jade Forest, bringing the war that my faction was waging to foreign shores, and disrupted the cycle of rebirth for the Jade Serpent, loosing the Sha upon the forest. I snuck into Theramore and freed the Horde agent who helped keep Alliance civilians in the city for the bomb to destroy.
Now of course, I didn't actually do any of those things because it is a game. Garrosh Hellscream is a voice actor's craft and a mass of pixels reading lines written by Blizzard's team of writers. What I find interesting, and overlooked at times by players like myself, is the opportunity to muse on the ideas presented to us by the game. What would it be like to return to Orgrimmar as a soldier invading it? What would it feel like to bear a certain responsibility for the ruin of a peaceful valley, the destruction of people who had only sought to protect their home? To see a beautiful land scarred by a monstrous act, and know that the act couldn't have happened without your assistance, however small, and however deeply you regretted it? For me, part of the fun of playing the game is in thinking differently than I usually do, to explore the ideas presented by the story as I move through it. I mean, at one point we actually have to kill pride. That's the subtext leaping forth from the head of the text, that is.

U.S.-Mexican border welcomes terrorists
The roaring immigration-reform debate largely addresses Hispanic aliens who illegally cross the border. Far more worrisome, however, are the thousands who break into the United States from countries "where we have concerns, particularly about al-Qaida affiliates," a top State Department official told CNN.
These include Cubans, Iranians, Sudanese and Syrians, whose governments are federally designated "state sponsors of terrorism." As Customs and Border Protection's "2011 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics" reports, 198 Sudanese were nabbed while penetrating the USA. Between fiscal years 2002 and 2011, such arrests totaled 1,207. (These figures cover all U.S. borders, although 96.3 percent of detainees crossed from Mexico.) Like other immigrants, most Sudanese seek better lives here. But some may be vectors for the same militant Islam that tore Sudan in two - literally.
In FY 2011, 108 Syrians were stopped; over the previous 10 years, 1,353 were. Syria supports Hezbollah, and Bashar al-Assad's unstable regime reportedly has attacked its domestic opponents with chemical weapons.
Among Iranians, 276 were caught in FY 2011, while 2,310 were captured over the previous 10 years. Iran also backs Hezbollah, hates "The Great Satan" - its name for the United States - and craves atomic weapons.
The other 10 "countries of interest" are Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen and:
. Afghanistan, the Taliban's stronghold and current theater of America's longest war. (Afghans halted in FY 2011: 106; prior 10 years: 681.)
. Nigeria. The land of underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab suffers under Sharia law in its northern provinces. (Respective data: 591 and 4,525.)
. Pakistan, hideaway of the Pakistani Taliban and the late Osama bin Laden (525 and 10,682).
. Saudi Arabia, generous benefactor of radical imams and militant mosques worldwide; birthplace of 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (123 and 986).
. Somalia. Home of Indian Ocean pirates and al-Qaida's al-Shabaab franchise. In October 1993, Islamic terrorists there shot down two Black Hawk helicopters, killed 18 U.S. soldiers and dragged several of their bodies through Mogadishu's streets (323 and 1,524).
The House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight last November published "A Line in the Sand: Countering Crime, Violence, and Terror at the Southwest Border." This study offers chilling portraits of some who consider the southern border America's welcome mat.
. On Jan. 11, 2011, U.S. agents discovered Said Jaziri in a car trunk trying to enter near San Diego. Jaziri traveled from his native Tunisia to Tijuana, he said, and paid smugglers $5,000 to sneak him across the border. France previously convicted and deported him for assaulting a Muslim whom he considered insufficiently devout. In 2006, Jaziri advocated killing Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard for creating what Jaziri called sacrilegious drawings of the Prophet Mohammed.
. Somalia's Ahmed Muhammed Dhakane told authorities in 2011 that he earned up to $75,000 per day smuggling East Africans into America. His clients included three al-Shabaab terrorists. As the House paper states: "Dhakane cautioned that each of these individuals is ready to die for their cause. ..."
. On June 4, 2010, Anthony Joseph Tracy was convicted of conspiring to slip aliens into America. Tracy told federal investigators that Cuban diplomats used his travel agency in Kenya to transfer 272 Somalis to Havana. They proceeded to Belize, through Mexico, and then trespassed into the USA. Tracy claims he refused to assist al-Shabaab. But officials discovered an email in which he casually wrote: "...i helped a lot of Somalis and most are good but there are some who are bad and i leave them to ALLAH..."
Remember: These anecdotes and statistics involve individuals whom authorities intercepted. No details exist about aliens who successfully infiltrated America.

It wasnt starting a new job that threw Shannon Mann, 42, into a tizzy. It was figuring out what to wear. She begins a new gig in public relations at the VA Medical Center in Durham this month, but shes a bit rusty at picking out outfits for work. The Air Force major has worn a green uniform with green boots and her hair in a bun for 11 years, so shes been getting dressed on autopilot. A member of the Air Force Reserve for 24 years, the Clayton wife and mom went full-time in her military career in 2003. I have no idea what to wear in an office environment now, she said. I need help knowing what is stylish and professional, age-appropriate and comfortable. I showed her how to build a wardrobe from the feet up.
Before (first photo): Heres the deal with a uniform: Its easy to wear, mostly covers up figure flaws and takes the effort out of getting dressed. The downside: You look like a dude, because the clothes are unisex. It suppresses your femininity in a way thats convenient for work, but bad for womanliness.
Hair and makeup do-over (second photo): Abby Schotte cut Manns hair to chin length, which draws attention to her sculpted jawline, and added golden highlights. The new shape and color give Mann a polished look. Nadia White did a full glamour makeup application, from moisture cream to lipstick, drawing attention to Manns eyes and attractive face shape. Mann can use a toned-down version of this for her everyday look.
After, No slacking (second photo): Each element of this outfit will coordinate seamlessly with other items in Manns wardrobe, expanding her options. The teal Madison V-neck cardigan plays well with the navy and ivory Jones New York collection printed blouse. The Rye stretch trousers are soft but substantial enough to keep their shape after hours of wear. Calvin Klein pointy-toe pumps are stylish and comfortable for long walks across the hospital campus. The gold Lauren Ralph Lauren dome satchel is functional and pretty.
After, Best dress (third photo): This Lauren Ralph Lauren dress in British tan and navy will be a workhorse for Mann. Changing the accessories will make it work for many occasions. Color-blocking on the sides adds slimming detail. Calvin Klein pointy-toe pumps flatter her legs. The metallic Lauren Ralph Lauren dome satchel adds personality.
The reaction: Kudos to Simple Bliss Spa and Salon for the free hairstyling and makeup session it gave Mann. She loves the shorter haircut and thinks her new look is more polished and professional. Belk gave a 20 percent discount, and Mann bought nearly everything you see. I am super excited about my new look, she said. Thanks so much.

TRAVERSE CITY — Traverse City Area Public Schools officials announced substantive changes to the district's administration structure.
The changes go into effect July 1 and stem from an effort to improve academic instruction at TCAPS and offer more diverse ways to learn. That's the way education in Michigan is heading, Superintendent Stephen Cousins said.
"The state is requiring us to diversify programs and is tying funding to student performance," Cousins said. "We've got to be proactive to faster meet those changes."
Foremost among the changes is the creation of a new chief of schools position. Sander Scott, currently Westwoods Elementary School principal, will be appointed to that role.
Scott will oversee daily instructional operations of schools and will supervise principals, social workers, and the district's athletic and LEAP directors.
School principals will report directly to Scott, who will share an administrative secretary with Cousins. Scott will make about $156,000 in total compensation annually in his new role.
Principals now report to Jayne Mohr, associate superintendent of quality learning development. Mohr will lose that responsibility, but the reorganization puts her in charge of innovative academic programs and specialty schools, like the International School at Bertha Vos.
"We're really taking some things off Jayne Mohr's plate so she can focus on that," Cousins said.
Mohr also will pick up duties previously held by TCAPS' director of professional development. The district officially deleted that position, currently held by Cathy Meyer-Looze.
The reorganization also includes a change to Chief Financial Officer Paul Soma's title. Soma's post will be renamed associate superintendent of finances and operations.
Neither his nor Mohr's compensation levels will change.
The district will save about $46,000 through the reorganization. TCAPS will spend about half of that on professional development, including improved math instruction and a program called instructional rounds, the equivalent of medical rounds in the classroom.
Board of Education President Kelly Hall said the restructuring brings innovation and academic accountability to TCAPS.
"We need to try new things and be willing to take the lead in innovating for our kids, not do the same thing education has been doing for 100 years," Hall said.

Giving to the Library
Founded over 40 years ago, Stony Brook University Libraries are one of the youngest research libraries in the country. In this short time, we have grown, matured and launched many new services and technologies. On line technology has afforded our students, faculty and the community the opportunity to submit research questions, loan requests and even renew books right from their computers. Our reading rooms are filled from early morning to late at night with students studying, researching, working on our computers, or just socializing. The new state-of-the-art Music Library is equipped with sophisticated listening stations, a seminar room and comfortable study areas. In addition, we have our own Library Café where students, faculty and staff can mingle, chat or just mellow out over a cup of coffee.
Our vision for the future is exciting but uncertain due to continued state budget cuts and skyrocketing costs for books, journals and electronic resources. The library community has been supportive in the past and we know that your continued commitment to the library will play a role in securing the future successes, growth and excellence at Stony Brook University Libraries.
How you can help:
- Make a gift
- Establish a collection
- Honor with Books
- Become a Friend of the Library
- Donate materials
