It features stunning hand-painted stained glass windows, which came over from Munich the year of the church's dedication. The church's bell was cast in 1889. Though damaged by the recent tornadoes that ripped through much of downtown Fort Worth, St. Patrick Cathedral still holds mass twice daily for the faithful.

Nice job, I will have to take a look at my pile of junk 18V Dewalt batteries.
Nice job- If my 18v DeWalt batts ever go bad, I'll do the same. I've been using them every day for 4 years and they're still going strong.
I assume you got the replacements at a place like Batteries Plus???
My drill was a gift a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it is a ryobi which only home despot sells. They no longer stock the batteries for it becasue they have "upgraded a few times since.
Where do you get the batteries? Just any nicad rechargebles?
sláinte!Bristle Bros. Brewing
Very nice!! Job well done. I have a couple of new DeWalts and a couple of dead ones...I'm not a tree hugger per se, but I surely know how to solder... to save $$$.
Yesterday I took up the carpet and padding in the basement so I can lay tile. My wife wanted me to pay someone, but I enjoy this type of work and consider it fun all the way to the bank.
Question: I presume you also soldered the bottom of the batteries since they are in series right? But you didn't show a picture...I guess when I take them out I'll find out, huh? DOH!!!
To the poster before me...check eBay for replacement batteries...in bulk.
Maybe I'll crack the cases on my Makitas. I purchased a Rayovac replacement for $27, but I wouldn't mind having multiple batteries again. The 3" saw is awfully handy for overhead work, but it eats power.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I use to build my own custom batteries for RC cars back when I was into them...
Just use caution when soldering the cells together and use just enough heat to get the solder to flow, over heating the cells can damage them. If you do not feel comfortable doing this, batteries plus will rebuild batteries for you and they have the proper spot welder to do this.
My Dad and I used to do the same thing all the time. He was a self-employed carpenter at the time and used the hell out of cordless drills. 15 years ago, cordless drills were much more expensive and the batteries weren't nearly as good. So, we rebuilt the batteries once every other year or so. Works like a charm!
Nice job, mrb.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Popular photo-sharing service Instagram has finally started to roll out web profiles, making it much easier to see your friends' filter-fied photos on the web. Facebook-owned Instagram has relied on its mobile app presence for people to look at each other's profiles and photos. Today, when you share a link to an Instagram photo on Facebook or Twitter, you can look at that photo on the web but not look see all of the photos that person has posted beforehand. But that's about to change. The rollout of web profiles will begin today and will reach Instagram's more than 100 million users in the "coming days." "People have been asking for this for a while now and we're excited to finally start rolling [profiles] out," Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom told VentureBeat via email. "We're going to start out by launching to a small percentage of people today and will roll it out slowly to everyone in the coming days." Instagram has been killing it as of late. In August, 22 million unique visitors cumulatively spent more than 5.65 billion minutes using the service on mobile devices. Additionally, 54 of the world's largest 100 brands — including Nike, Gucci, and Starbucks — are now connecting with fans via Instagram.

The Shin Bet, the IDF and Jerusalem Police combined last week to arrest members of a Hamas cell planning to bomb Jerusalem's Mamilla mall during the High Holy Days.
The cell included two East Jerusalem residents who worked at the mall. They were recruited by Ramallah resident Hamdi Romana to place a bomb inside the shopping centre, the Shin Bet said.
Local elections in Israel are normally just that — local.
While the national parties have representatives at the municipal level, many of the country's mayors and council leaders are political independents, leading lists consisting of candidates from across the spectrum. Campaigns are generally fought out over issues closer to home, not the left-right divide.
The Israeli government has constructed a large section for non-Orthodox prayer at the Western Wall.
It has built a 5,000 sq ft platform that will be open to Reform and Conservative Jews, and others wishing to hold mixed-gender services.
The Women of the Wall conducted a Rosh Chodesh service at the back of the Western Wall plaza on Wednesday morning, despite the presence of protesters and a police barricade.
The 300 women were not able to pray directly in front of the wall due to a large crowd of strictly Orthodox protesters who were screaming and chanting while standing between the feminist group and the holy site.
Jerusalem is setting up its own version of London's Speaker's Corner, the city council has announced.
It will be established next year in Sacher Park, which commemorates the late British Zionist Harry Sacher.
A 39-year-old Israeli man has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for repeatedly raping his step-daughter over a period of seven years.
The Jerusalem District Court convicted the man of hundreds of counts of rape, sodomy, indecent assault, sex crimes and additional sex charges, Ynet reported this week.
Some 250 members of the Women of the Wall group were prevented from praying at the Western Wall on Monday morning.
According to reports, between 5000 and 7000 young strictly Orthodox women arrived early at the women's section of the Wall in order to obstruct the Women from approaching the holy site.
An Israeli man has been found guilty of murdering both his parents to fund his gambling habit and has been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.
Daniel Maoz's denied he was responsible for the brutal stabbing of his parents Noah and Nuritz Maoz. Despite DNA evidence linking him to the scene, he accused his identical twin brother Nir of being responsible.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, on his first official visit to Israel since his installation this year, said he hoped to "serve all the people of this region, without exception" during his tenure.
The Israeli government has condemned a Unesco resolution which criticises its policies towards the Old City of Jerusalem, saying it is a "dark day for Unesco".
The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation was "acting outside the boundary of reality".

Stanton, who turns 24 in November, has already accomplished a lot in his young career. He has 101 homers and 254 RBIs in 415 career games. He was named an All-Star last season and competed in the Home Run Derby. Still, somehow, he is being left out of the talk about baseball's young stars.... Daniel Shirey-USA TODAY Sports

Well done Budzu, good find.
Derrin- that is more like what I expect from your products! I will be tempted by your Tri's next time I am buying some.....
Derrin's other product are top notch and I absolutely vouch for them.
I built a brutus 1o single tier machine. I went to overbrook brewery (clicked on bobbys stuff) and looked at bobbyM's QD's on his rig. He has a video on his site which shows him using his quick disconnects. One hand while holding the camera. They also have high temp o-rings in them. He gives the part number which is from Mcmaster Carr. I ordered them using his numbers and they work awesome. They are always open so you just have to turn you ball valve off or stop your pump when you disconnect and move plumbing around. Also, they are brass which has not affected my brewing at all. McMaster carr is easy to buy from and they are quick on delivery! Tri clamps seem like they would be such a hassle on a small system with flexible tubing.. But then again if the plumbing is fixed and rigid I could see the value of tri clamps. I can't believe BobbyM hasn't piped in here to help you. snake10
Hi snake, yeah I've studied Bobby M's build a good bit, got several ideas from it that I will be implementing. The high temp o-rings is a good point.. I may have to write to pro-flow to find out how and what kind of seals are used.
And all the plumbing in my system will be soft, so those elbow connectors are tempting. If I go with straight connectors like the camlocks, I will have to get more rigid tubing I guess.
Anyone know what is the most rigid hi-temp tubing that still has some translucency/transparency?
I use thermoplastic tubing as sold from Northern Brewer. It is not translucent. Those QD's are nice, but not stainless
I just received my order of these. 15 male and 6 female for various places on the rig. All 1/2". They are very, very nice. I look forward to my first brew with them!
Very nice! When you get them mounted, test them for leaks while wiggling the connections, let us know how they work. Maybe pics if you can manage, it'd be hugely appreciated!
Any feedback on the cam lock's? I am thinking of ordering some.
Phillc, could you post some pics of them in use, are you happy with them?
Have any you used these QD's on the suction side of a march pump. I tried using my hose fittings and hose QD's and they sucked in air...

What other adjustments might I qualify for?
NOTE: If you're mailing your return and need to send additional documentation for your adjustments, be sure to include this information with your return. If you're e-filing your return, retain the information in your records for three years in case the Oklahoma Tax Commission requests it.
- Qualified Medical Savings Account/Health Savings Account:
If you took an HSA Deduction on your federal return, you can't claim this deduction on your Oklahoma return.
You can subtract the amount of contributions made to and interest earned from your Oklahoma Medical Savings Account (MSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) from your adjusted gross income. In order to qualify for this subtraction your MSA or HSA program must be approved by either the State Department of Health or the Insurance Commissioner.
You should receive a statement of the contributions made and interest earned from the trustee of the plan. Your W-2 (W2) doesn't count as a statement for this. You'll need to include your statement and a copy of your federal return when you mail in your Oklahoma return.
- Agricultural Commodity Processing Facility Exclusion:
Owners of agricultural commodity processing facilities may exclude 15% of their investment in a new or expanded agricultural commodity processing facility located within Oklahoma. "Agricultural commodity processing facility" is defined as buildings, structures, fixtures, and improvements used or operated primarily for the processing or production of agricultural commodities to marketable products. The investment is deemed made when the property is placed in service. Under no circumstances shall this exclusion lower your taxable income below zero. In the event the exclusion does exceed income, any unused portion may be carried over for a period not to exceed six years.
A schedule must be enclosed showing the type of investment(s), the date placed in service, and the cost. If the total exclusion available isn't used, a copy of the schedule must be enclosed in the carryover year and show the total exclusion available, the amount previously used and amount available in the carryover year. If the exclusion is through a Partnership or S corporation, the schedule must also include the Partnership's or S corporation's name and ID number and your pro-rata share of the exclusion.
- Depreciation Adjustment for Swine or Poultry Producers:
Individuals who are swine or poultry producers may deduct depreciation on an accelerated basis for new construction or expansion costs. The same depreciation method elected for federal income tax purposes will be used, except the assets will be deemed to have a 7 year life. Any depreciation deduction allowable is the amount so computed minus the federal depreciation claimed.
Enclose a copy of the federal Depreciation Schedule and a computation of the Accelerated Oklahoma Depreciation.
Note: Once you have fully depreciated an asset on your Oklahoma return, you must add back any depreciation deducted on your federal return.
- Discharge of Indebtedness for Farmers:
An individual engaged in production of agriculture may exclude income resulting from the discharge of indebtedness incurred to finance the production of agricultural products.
Enclose federal Schedule F and Form 1099-C or other substantiating documentation.
- Oklahoma Police Corps Program Scholarship/Stipend:
You may deduct any scholarship or stipend received from participation in the Oklahoma Police Corps Program that is included in your federal adjusted gross income.
Enclose documentation to support the amount claimed and a copy of your federal return.
- Deduction for Living Organ Donation:
You may deduct up to $10,000 of unreimbursed expenses if you or your dependent donates one or more human organs while living. "Human organs" mean all or part of a liver, pancreas, kidney, intestine, lung, or bone marrow. The deduction is allowed only one time and may be claimed only for unreimbursed expenses that are incurred by you and related to the organ donation of you or your dependent. The deduction may only be claimed in the taxable year in which the transplant occurs.
Enclose a detailed schedule of expenses claimed.
- Safety Pays OSHA Consultation Service Exemption:
An employer that is eligible for and utilizes the Safety Pays OSHA Consultation Service provided by the Oklahoma Department of Labor shall receive a $1,000 exemption for the tax year the service is utilized.
If this exemption is through a Partnership or S corporation, include a statement with the Partnership's or S corporation's name, ID number, and your pro-rata share of the exemption.
- Qualified Refinery Property:
If a qualified Oklahoma refinery elected to expense the cost of qualified refinery property, enter any of the expense allocated to you.
Enclose a copy of the written notice received from the refinery indicating the amount of the allocation. The notice should include the company's name and federal identification number.
- Cost of Complying with Sulfur Regulations:
If a qualified refinery elected to allocate all or a portion of the cost of complying with sulfur regulations to its owners, enter the portion of the cost allocated to you. Enclose a copy of the written notice received from the refinery indicating the amount of the allocation. The notice should include the company's name and federal identification number.
- Emergency Medical Personnel Death Benefit Exclusion:
The $5,000 death benefit paid to the designated beneficiary of an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or a registered medical responder whose death is a result of their official duties performed in the line of duty is exempt. Deduct the $5,000 death benefit if the death benefit is included in your federal adjusted gross income.
- Competitive Livestock Show Award:
You may deduct any payment of less than $600 received as an award for participation in a competitive livestock show event. You must be able to substantiate this deduction upon request.
- Discharge of Indebtedness under IRC Section 108(i)(1):
Income from discharge of indebtedness deferred under IRC Section 108(i)(1), which was added back to compute Oklahoma taxable income in tax year 2010, may be partially deducted. Deduct an amount equal to the portion of the deferred income included in your federal adjusted gross income for tax year 2014. If you're deducting this income as a member of a pass-through entity, include the entity's name and ID number and your pro-rata share of the deferred income.

Sixteen-year-old Neryn is alone in the land of Alban, where the oppressive king has ordered anyone with magical strengths captured and brought before him. Eager to hide her own canny skill--a uniquely powerful ability to communicate with the fairy-like Good Folk--Neryn sets out for the legendary Shadowfell, a home and training ground for a secret rebel group determined to overthrow the evil King Keldec.
During her dangerous journey, she receives aid from the Good Folk, who tell her she must pass a series of tests in order to recognize her full potential. She also finds help from a handsome young man, Flint, who rescues her from certain death--but whose motives in doing so remain unclear. Neryn struggles to trust her only allies. They both hint that she alone may be the key to Alban's release from Keldec's rule. Homeless, unsure of who to trust, and trapped in an empire determined to crush her, Neryn must make it to Shadowfell not only to save herself, but to save Alban.
JULIET MARILLIER is the author of several highly popular fantasy novels for adults, including the Sevenwaters Trilogy and the Bridei Chronicles. She is also the author of the teen novels Wildwood Dancing and Cybele's Secret.

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, August 6, 2012:

To give you an update on my cancer fight, I finished my radiation and right now I'm in the chair getting my 10th cycle of chemo!
After this session is over, I will have two more to go, which means I should be done with this in four freaking weeks.
Last couple of weeks have not been so kind to me, my pain level sometimes going to the roof and pain killers have been falling short of killing the damn pain and left me screaming in the middle of the night. Gladly, we are not living in an apartment or condo and my wife had been on her business trips, so my screams have not bothered anyone.
On the other hand, I had very little to do in the shop and in general, that I was able to rest when it got so bad.
I kept my #365infocus alive and posted a photo everyday, although I used a few days old photos for couple of days.
A couple of weeks ago, it started with a very bad pain in my both legs, that has stopped my walking. After 5 days pain in the left leg was gone, but the right leg got worse to a point that its pain got worse than my bottom's. So my doctor ordered scans and there it was, another blood clot in my right leg. So I'm back to Warfarin and have to see someone at ACC (Anti Coagulation Center) tomorrow.
There are a lot of questions in my mind with no answer to them. I don't know where the pain comes from and what is the real source of it. I still think about people who have got cancer and they are in much worse situation than I am with a lot of pain.
I always think of myself as a lucky one, who got diagnosed with this illness early and for having one of the best insurances in the US, and for a great caring team at Overlake Hospital!
Just got some good news: my CEA marker (cancer marker) is back to NORMAL! YAY!
Untill next time!

music instrument playing?
I'm wondering whether or not to be worried about disturbing our neighbors about playing music instruments.
Playing instruments and practicing is part of our lives, none of our neighbors have complained about the noise (yet)
We live on the 2nd floor and the walls are paper thin, you can hear just about everything , ugh!! Our lease says "to be considerate of other residents when playing a music instrument", of course, while we do play during the day and weekends, we do not play after 9pm. Should we be concerned about this or just go about our routine as we have been?
Just for references, we play piano, flute and bass clarinets :)
It's hard to say if no complaints means that no one is bothered by the sound. At least you aren't playing bagpipes!
To me, 9 pm seems a bit late. If your neighbors have kids, they might be going to bed earlier than that. I'd say 8 am to 8 pm is a good guideline for noise in shared living situations.
Is there any place else you can practice? Are you students? Are there practice rooms available at your school? Can you practice in a local church or function room?
My concern is that there are three different instruments. While I might be fine with a neighbor who plays the piano for a hour or two every day, if the entire day seems filled with music that is not of my choosing, however good it is, I'd start to get annoyed. I'd recommend practicing elsewhere as much as possible and playing at home only when there are no alternatives.
Even 8PM could be a little late, especially for kids. I'm grown myself, but I like to wind down and watch some TV at around 7PM.
If you really want to be considerate you should talk to your neighbors. Chances are you could find plenty of time that won't bother them, and you could all get along much better than some of the horror stories we hear about here.
I agree with fotostat. I live in a condo complex and have an idiot neighbor with no common sense who decided getting a full drum set for his son would be a good idea (we have a common wall). I can't compare it to a piano/flute/clarinet, but all I can say is even for an hour a day during the daytime, the noise from the drums was unbearable. We had quite a few arguments about it, but eventually he came to his senses and at least put some muting pads on his drums. It's still loud and annoying (mostly because his son is pretty horrible at drums), but at least the noise is tolerable.
The thing is, if he had actually come talked to me BEFORE he bought the drums, I'm sure we could have resolved the issue about the mute pads then, instead of having to argue with each other and be in a situation where two next-door neighbors hate each other. I would strongly advise just going to each of your neighbors and seeing if you won't be causing too much of a problem.
It all depends on the neighbor.
I used to share a wall with a guy who played the guitar. He worked a swing shift, so he played at different times.
He ALWAYS asked me if it bothered us, and he turned his amps down at night, or didn't use them.
Sometimes he'd play the same song, or part of a song over and over for days (or weeks) until he got it just right. Honestly, it didn't bother me. After awhile, it just became background noise. People would visit and ask how I could put up with it, but it had gotten to the point where I didn't really notice it. The kids slept through it.
I think the posters who commented on how well you play and what you play are correct also. I don't think I could have put up with a beginner playing a harmonica or an accordion.
Sometimes it depends on the music and the listener. There are sound that is tolerable to hear and you wouldn't mind. Its true that sometime when you constantly hear that certain sound you wouldn't notice you're starting to like it or even hum the sound.
I play fiddle/violin, but I don't play before 8am and I don't play after 6pm. Doesn't matter what day of the week it is, and I've asked my neighbors if they can hear me and if it bothers them. Normally they don't even hear me, but when they do they don't seem to mind since I don't play for more than a couple of hours. I think it helps that I live in a single level apartment.
Good thing you don't play drums then :) Then again, it's impossible to play drums in an apartment. I think you're doing all right for now. Frankly I'd suggest you find proper rehearsal space if possible. That way you can play all you want and you wouldn't be worried you're bothering neighbours.

For them, reinsurance allows diversification of their loss exposures beyond their internal pool. Cost of financial distress Insurers may purchase reinsurance to reduce attendant costs by purchasing reinsurance. Insurers have incentive to reduce their default risk with the reinsurance. 8 Rationales for Reinsurance Demand Capital market imperfections Potential investors dislike insurers facing large potential losses. Reinsurance may reduce the investment disincentive. Real service efficiency Reinsurers with broad exposures bases may have real efficiencies in risk diversification associated with low probability events. 9 Rationales for Reinsurance Demand Reduction of tax liability The direct insurers reduce expected tax liability by purchasing reinsurance and reducing the taxable income. (e.g. transferring earning and minimizing taxes for a group, e.g. higher tax domiciles to lower ones) Volatility control Effective use of reinsurance also can provide an insurer with more predictable cash flows and less earnings volatility. 10 Rationales for Reinsurance Demand Regulatory constraints Regulation limits insurers' financial leverage An insurer can reduce its leverage by purchasing reinsurance The higher the leverage, the greater the demand for reinsurance. Ceding commission to increase underwriting capacity. 11 Reinsurance Fundamentals Types of Reinsurers Professional reinsurers An insurance company that specializes in writing reinsurance Reinsurance departments (of insurance companies) Insurance laws generally permit direct insurers to sell reinsurance 13 Types of Reinsurers Pools An arrangement where member firms jointly accept risks in a line of business. Lloyd's associations Lloyd's of London, Lloyd's of Asia, Lloyd's of Japan 14 Reinsurance Distributions Direct writing reinsurer Reinsurers sell directly to primary insurers Reinsurance brokerage (broking) firm Primary insurers wish to place business with one or more reinsurers Slip will be provided by the intermediary on behalf of the client insurer. 15 Reinsurance Distributions Lead (leading underwriter) When the placement involves several reinsurers, the intermediary usually identifies a lead reinsurer. Broker's cover Brokers are given in-principle approval to accept certain risks on behalf of their reinsurers. 16 Types and Nature of Reinsurance Contracts Facultative vs. treaty reinsurance Facultative – the insurer negotiates a separate reinsurance agreement for each policy that it wishes to reinsure. Treaty – it automatically applies to the entire portfolio of risks covered by treaty unless specifically excluded. 17 Types and Nature of Reinsurance Contracts Proportional (pro-rata) vs. non-proportional (excess- of-loss or XL) reinsurance Proportional – the reinsurer takes a stated share of each risk that the insurer writes and shares in the premium and losses in that same proportion. Financial reinsurance 18 Classification of Reinsurance Contracts (Figure 23.2) 19 Forms of Reinsurance (Figure 23.3) Proportional (Pro-rata) Sharing the amount of insurance, premium and loss on a proportional basis • Quota Share • Surplus • Facultative-Obligatory Forms of Reinsurance Excess-of-loss (Non-proportional) Reinsurance coverage only when loss exceeds the retained loss at lower layer(s) • Facultative Excess • Risk (working) Excess • Catastrophic (Cat) Excess • Stop Loss • Umbrella Excess ..... Financial • Retrospective Financial Reinsurance • Prospective Financial Reinsurance Source: Kwon (1999) 20 Forms of Reinsurance (Figure 23.3) 21 Proportional Reinsurance – Quota Share (Table 23.1) 22 Proportional Reinsurance – Surplus (Table 23.2) 23 Illustrative Proportional Treaty (Figure 23.4) 24 Proportional reinsurance Quota share reinsurance Reinsurer assumes an agreed-upon, fixed quota (percentage) of all the insurance policies written by a direct insurer within the particular branch or branches defined in the treaty. This quota determines how liability, premiums and losses are distributed between the direct insurer and the reinsurer. 25 Quota share reinsurance 26 Quota share reinsurance 27 Proportional reinsurance Surplus reinsurance The direct insurer himself retains all risks up to a certain amount of liability (his retention). This retention may be defined differently for each type (class) of risk. The reinsurer will accept the surplus: the amount that exceeds the direct insurer's retention. This limit is usually defined as a certain multiple of the direct insurer's retention, known as lines (see example below). 28 Example 1 Example 1: The cedent's original liability from his share in a given risk amounts to 3 million; the premium is 1.50‰ (of the sum insured); and the loss is 1.5 million. The risk is shared by the cedent and the reinsurer as follows: 29 Example 2 30 Example 3 31 Surplus reinsurance 32 Non-proportional (Excess-of-Loss) Reinsurance Facultative XL (per risk) – cover the losses of an individual risk or policy over the cedant's loss retention Risk (working) XL – the reinsurer indemnify the insurer for any losses, subject to the reinsurance in excess of the insurer's retention for each risk falling under the treaty. Common account XL – protects the combined exposure of the insurer and its quota share. 33 Non-proportional (Excess-of-Loss) Reinsurance Per occurrence (cat.) XL – protects the cedant against an accumulation of losses from a single disaster Hours clause ex. A 72-hour clause Stop loss XL – the reinsurer indemnifies the insurer once the insurer's loss ratio in a line of business exceeds a percentage Aggregate XL – indemnifies the insurer once the insurer incurs losses of a stipulated amount 34 Non-proportional (Excess-of-Loss) Reinsurance Umbrella XL – indemnifies the insurer in case it experiences a run of losses in 2 or more lines of business in the same class Whole account XL – indemnifies the insurer for a run of losses in the aggregate from all lines in which it operates. Reinstatement provision – allows the insurer to restore the reinsurance limit to the original level after collecting part or all of the original limit 35 Excess-of-loss Reinsurance (Figure 23.5) 36 Non-proportional reinsurance: excess of loss (XL) reinsurance Deductible, cover limit - No matter what the sum insured, the direct insurer carries for his own account all losses incurred in the line of business named in the treaty – up to a certain limit known as the deductible. WXL/R and CatXL covers - Excess of loss insurance can be broadly 37 Loss event 3 38 39 Reinsurance Program Design Factors to consider in designing a program Risk and loss portfolios over several years Types of reinsurance contracts Apportionment of risks or losses by layer Availability of reinsurers specializing in each type of reinsurance and their ancillary services 40 Reinsurance Program Design Factors to consider in designing a program Prevailing conditions in the reinsurance market and in the economy Profitability (including the size of ceding and other commissions from reinsurers) The insurer's own capacity to retain losses 41 Reinsurance Program Design Commissions Reinsurers often compensate cedants for a share of their expenses. Types Ceding commissions – ex. Based on a fixed or sliding-scale percent Profit commissions – ex. Based on the reinsurer's operating experience for the cedant's book of business Not all reinsurance contracts offer commissions 42 Financial Reinsurance Risks involved Underwriting (pricing) risk Losses and expenses under the contract will be greater than expected. Timing risk If losses are paid more quickly than expected, the reinsurer loses cash flow with a resulting loss of investment income. Investment risk The actual investment performance will be poorer than expected. 43 Financial Reinsurance Financial reinsurance explicitly considers the investment and timing risks and may provide little or no pricing risk transfer. Retrospective financial reinsurance Covers the insurer's past loss, which has already occurred but not yet been reported pr settled. Time and distance contracts Increase surplus through the immediate recognition of the future investment income on the loss reserves of the insurer. 44 Financial Reinsurance Loss portfolio transfer (LPT) Involves an insurer ceding all of its liabilities on a portfolio of policies to a reinsurer. Run-off business – LPT is used when an insurer wants to liquidate its liabilities as a condition for a merger or acquisition 45 Financial Reinsurance Prospective financial reinsurance The primary focus of financial reinsurance in today's market The transfer of risk on current and future exposures to another party, not necessarily a reinsurer. 46 Prospective Financial Reinsurance Length of coverage period Flexible in length and scope For a long term to smooth year-to-year loss result Finite term of contract (non-renewability) Renewal of the coverage means writing a new contract 47 Prospective Financial Reinsurance Explicit profit sharing agreement If loss experience is favorable, a profit sharing refund is made to the cedant. Limit on coverage The aggregate limit is commonly for the entire contract period. FR assumes mainly timing risk and investment risk, and limit underwriting risk by imposing per loss and aggregate limits. 48 Prospective Financial Reinsurance (Insight 23.1) 49 Reinsurance Markets Reinsurance Premiums Globally (2005) (Figure 23.6) Rest of the World Asia 5.1% 10.3% North America 50.4% Europe 34.2% Source: Datamonitor (2005) 51 Cession Rate by Region (1998) (Table 23.3) 52 Largest Reinsurers (2005) PART 1 (Table 23.4) 53 Largest Reinsurers (2005) PART 2 (Table 23.4) 54 Reinsurance in Emerging Markets Reinsurance is crucial, as domestic companies tend to have low levels of capitalization and keep low retentions (and a correspondingly high demand for reinsurance). Insuring industrial infrastructure necessitates technical expertise. Historically, large global reinsurers have provided risks assessment and underwriting services 55 Reinsurance in Emerging Markets Most insurers in developing countries have proportional treaties as the basis of their reinsurance programs. Fronting is common in developing countries. 56 Reinsurance in Emerging Markets Compulsory placement of reinsurance as a means of the local government's attempt to: Diversify the pools of risks from individual insurers to the national reinsurer Permit more favorable terms and prices when the national reinsurer retrocedes risks internationally The global trend is to abandon such practices, as compulsory cessions usually harm markets relying on them. 57 Compulsory Reinsurance Cessions (Table 23.5) 58 Reinsurance Regulation Reinsurance Regulation In general, reinsurance subject to less stringent regulation than is direct insurance Even so, of critical concern because of its importance to the stability and growth of insurance markets Further, the market internationally dominated by a relatively small number of very large reinsurers Current initiatives largely the domain of advanced economies and intergovernmental organizations 60 Reinsurance Regulation The IAIS Standard on Supervision of Reinsurers (2003) Principle One. Regulation and supervision of reinsurers' technical provisions (loss reserving), investments and liquidity, capital requirements and policies and procedures to ensure effective corporate governance should reflect the characteristics of its business and be supplemented by systems for exchanging information among supervisors. 61 Reinsurance Regulation Principle Two. Except as stated in Principle One, regulation and supervision of the legal forms, licensing and the possibility of withdrawing the license, fit-and-proper testing, changes in control, group relations, supervision of the entire business, on-site inspections, sanctions, internal controls and audit, and accounting rules applicable to reinsurers should be the same as those for primary insurers. 62 Reinsurance Regulation The E.U. Reinsurance Directive (2005) Supervisory power The directive lays down supervisory powers, but financial supervision of the reinsurer remains the sole responsibility of its home state. Single licensing All reinsurers must be authorized in their home states. Solvency provision Require companies to maintain a minimum guarantee fund of not less than €3 million. 63 Regulatory Developments in Reinsurance (Table 23.6) 64 Discussion Questions Discussion Question 1 What advantages and disadvantages would an insurance company expect from ceding its risks (a) facultatively or (b) using a treaty? 66 Discussion Question 2 Describe how premiums and losses are shared in (a) surplus treaty reinsurance and (b) working XL reinsurance. 67 Discussion Question 3 What effect would you expect from continuing consolidation in the reinsurance market? Discuss its impact on competition, capacity and reinsurance market security. 68 Discussion Question 4 An author cited in this chapter wrote "reinsurance can be viewed as both a leverage and a risk management mechanism." Explain. 69 Discussion Question 5 What are the reasons that some governments offer for subjecting domestic nonlife insurance companies to compulsory cessions to a national or regional reinsurance company? In those countries, why do you believe the cession commonly applies to treaty reinsurance only? 70 Discussion Question 6 In view of the trends in the reinsurance market, what is their likely impact on reinsurance distribution systems. 71 Discussion Question 7 Why are the world's largest reinsurance firms located in Europe? 72

Certainly many Clinton supporters are heeding her wishes and staying loyal to the Democratic Party's nominee when it comes to their fundraising.
Clinton donors have raised at least $3.4 million for the Obama campaign, according to a Clinton staffer, who added that Clinton encouraged 150 of her donors to donate to Obama at a hotel reception on Wednesday and telling them "that it's a mistake to donate to John McCain."
As for the number of her donors who have contributed to McCain, "That's a ratio we can live with," said a Clinton staffer, declining to be identified while discussing the subject.
Some of Clinton's HillRaisers, such as financier Ron Perelman and Hassan Nemazee, have opened up their checkbooks for Obama.
While the ratio may favor Obama, there are indications that while most of Clinton's financial backers aren't giving money to the enemy, they are sitting on their wallets. Obama has yet to receive contributions from some prominent HillRaisers, including Steve Bing and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Only 70 of Clinton's more than 300 HillRaisers have contributed to Obama, according to a New York Times analysis.
But he predicts that party defections will be much more common this year, especially to the detriment of Democrats and Obama due to McCain's moderate reputation.
"Had it been a different Republican, Democrats would not have been able to consider defecting so easily," Panagopoulos says, adding that he doesn't see much evidence of Republicans supporting Obama. "But given the perception that McCain is a moderate, there is a good chance that some Clinton supporters will defect to him."
A spokesman for the Obama campaign e-mailed a statement, emphasizing their gratitude to the many Clinton donors who are supporting and donating to Obama:
"Just the other night, Hillary Clinton made a strong, heartfelt case to her supporters and all Americans for why they should join her in supporting Barack Obama for president. Americans across the country understand how urgently we need change, not four more years of failed Bush policies – and we've been very pleased that so many who supported Senator Clinton in the primary have taken active roles in the Obama campaign, organizing, raising money, and most importantly, talking to their friends and neighbors about the clear choice in this election."

Springfield Millrace reconstruction under way.
SPRINGFIELD - The city drained the old millpond near downtown last spring. What greeted reporters Monday was the bottom of the old pond, which has been baking in the sun ever since: Thirty acres of cracked earth, beer cans, old tires, discarded wood and what city engineer Yan Seiner descriptively called "black muck."
Hard to believe, but in a year's time this same spot could surge with salmon.
The city invited the media out Monday to show off the progress in restoration of the Springfield Millrace, a $9 million project to reclaim a waterway that is fundamental to Springfield history. Against a backdrop of heavy equipment tearing down structures and scouring out the earth, officials painted a picture of the millrace's future as a clean, cool, natural waterway that will be a refreshing respite for people and fish.
Plans began long ago
The millrace is part of a nearly five-mile waterway on the city's southern side, running from the Middle Fork of the Willamette downstream to the river's main stem. Elias Briggs, the city's founder, hand dug the millrace in 1852, powering the gristmill and timber and agriculture industries that gave rise to the city. In 1901, Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. bought the millrace and dammed it, creating the millpond.
Now the city wants the free-flowing waterway back. Forest products giant Georgia-Pacific Corp. donated a majority of the millrace to the city in 1985, which is about how long officials have been planning to convert the waterway into something that would be friendly for native fish and other wildlife while fitting into the city's plans for recreation and environmental education.
With $2 million in city storm-drainage funds and the rest from federal sources, the city broke ground last year on the project and set about redoing the inlet to the millrace and replacing invasive plants with native species.
Trails envisioned someday
Now comes the heavy lifting - literally. The city is starting to take down all the industrial remains that stand in the way of a more natural waterway: Dams, concrete retaining walls and old buildings.
"It's pretty awesome," Seiner said, as he stood near a dinosaur-like excavator that repeatedly bit into a 4,000-square-foot carpentry shed next to the millrace, systematically tearing it to pieces. "We are taking an industrial site and working very hard to make it very welcoming to people."
The excavator placed the remains of the demolished building in sorted piles for recycling - sheet metal here, reusable wood there. Once this area next to the Booth-Kelly center is complete, it will be a large, grassy amphitheater perfect for picnics, Seiner said.
The long-term vision for the millrace area includes a system of trails, but there's no funding yet and those plans are years away.
But sometime next summer, the city plans to reopen the millrace at the upstream point, allowing the water back in and with it, salmon and other native fish.
Free-flowing stream
As Seiner pointed east along the millrace, more excavators at the base of the dry streambed could be seen chewing into the ground, removing silt that had piled up in the water for years.
When the work is done, the streambed will have more places for fish to rest and rear their young, and areas where the water will flow at different depths and velocities.
The millrace historically blocked salmon passage with nonnative predators, poor water quality and a dam with a dysfunctional fish ladder, said Jeff Ziller, a technical advisor with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. With the restoration, there will be a "free-flowing stream" with a clear shot for fish traveling in either direction, he added.
Other fish expected to swim the waterway include sculpin, dace, redside shiners and Pacific lamprey.
The millrace, in fact, could be "perfect habitat" for the lamprey, a species of concern due to shrinking numbers. The lamprey can grow to two feet long, and can live seven or eight years in the river, Ziller said.
"This is probably a big plus for them," he said. "It's really important for them to have good habitat for a long period of time."
