No, we can't hang with a soul. Even if we get a great start, inevitably someone will quickly pass us to windward. I expect to get passed, as Bill's ranger 22 is the slowest boat in the fleet, but every single boat out points us.
The rest of the fleet is made up of a pair of J-29's, a pair of Ultimate 20's, a J-80, a Laser 28, and occasionally a J-24. We will have a Santana 20 starting in a few weeks that belongs to our women's group. Perhaps we can hang with a rotating crew of inexperienced women. Maybe.

Environmental watering in the Severn and lower Macintyre River systems 2013-14
31 October 2013: These actions are yet to commence.
About the watering
Commonwealth environmental water will be used to contribute to improving the ecological health and resilience of the Severn and lower Macintyre River systems. Commonwealth environmental watering is likely to occur between October 2013 and February 2014 and will remain in-stream to contribute to protecting and restoring water-dependent ecosystems by supporting:
- increased flow variability
- episodically high ecological productivity and its ecological dispersal
- ecological processes dependent on hydrologic connectivity (i) longitudinally along watercourses; and (ii) laterally between watercourses and their floodplains (and associated wetlands).
Approximately 1260 ML of Commonwealth environmental water may be used as part of this watering action and consists of:
- approximately 1,020 ML (unregulated) targeting the Severn River (Qld)
- approximately 240 ML (unregulated) targeting the lower Macintyre River (Qld)
The total volume of Commonwealth environmental water used will depend on seasonal conditions and rainfall.
This watering action has been made possible by the collaboration of a wide range of stakeholders including the NSW Office of Water, NSW DPI Fisheries, NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Qld Department of Natural Resource and Mines, State Water Corporation, SunWater, Queensland Murray-Darling Committee and local water users and landholders.

Michigan Creators Awarded $30.1 Million in Lawsuit over Ownership of Taco Bell's Chihuahua.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2003
The Michigan creators of the cool, confident and edgy Chihuahua immortalized in Taco Bell advertising were awarded $30.1 million today by a federal jury that agreed the fast-food giant should be made to pay for using their character.
This afternoon's verdict ends a five-year, multi-million dollar battle over rights to the Chihuahua made famous by Taco Bell, a subsidiary of Louisville-based YUM! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM). The dog's creators, Joseph Shields and Thomas Rinks, sued Taco Bell in federal court in 1998 for breach of contract and other claims for failing to pay for the use of the pair's Chihuahua character in a popular three-year advertising campaign. The pair was seeking $30.1 million in compensation from Taco Bell based on a percentage of the more than $500 million spent by Taco Bell on the Chihuahua campaign.
"We created the popular Chihuahua that Taco Bell used as its mascot and marketing icon," Rinks said. "After Taco Bell approached us and asked for our ideas, they just went ahead and used the character that we had created without paying for it. Now that we've been vindicated, we plan to aggressively pursue licensing opportunities with our Chihuahua character."
A jury of five women and three men deliberated approximately five hours before returning a verdict in favor of Shields and Rinks. The three-week trial was presided over by Judge Gordon Quist in U.S. District Court of Western Michigan.
"This day has been a long time in coming, and we are extremely pleased with the jury's verdict," said Douglas A. Dozeman, lead attorney in the case and a partner with Michigan-based Warner Norcross & Judd LLP. "This lawsuit has been a classic case of David vs. Goliath, and demonstrates that even large, multinational corporations must play by the rules. Joe and Tom have persevered long after others might have given up, and we are pleased that they will finally be able to achieve the recognition -- and the compensation -- that they well deserve."
The story began in 1995 when Shields and Rinks formed Wrench LLC and collaborated to create -- and then market -- the "Psycho Chihuahua," a cool, confident dog with an attitude. The pair enjoyed licensing success with their character, signing deals with T-shirt manufacturers, calendar makers and other manufacturers intrigued by the Chihuahua.
Wrench met executives from Taco Bell at a licensing show in New York City the following year. At Taco Bell's request, Wrench adapted its cartoon dog into a live-action Chihuahua and developed a number of ideas and advertising storyboards, including numerous commercials. After meetings to discuss and refine the concept over a period of several months, Taco Bell broke off discussions with Shields and Rinks, but went on to use their Chihuahua character as the creative platform for a $500 million national advertising campaign.
Wrench filed a lawsuit against Taco Bell in January 1998, charging breach of contract and other claims. The suit was dismissed on technical grounds in June 1999, just days before the case was scheduled to begin trial. Shields and Rinks appealed to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, which unanimously reversed the ruling in July 2001 and returned the case to the original trial court. Taco Bell appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court, which declined to hear the appeal and cleared the way for the trial to begin in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids in May 2003.

Author has written 3 stories for My Candy Love, Harry Potter, and Pretty Little Liars.
Hello lovelies! RomanceWriter23 here! I try to update as much as I can, but sometimes it gets hard so please be patient as I work out all my schedule's kinks! I just want to take a moment to thank you guys for giving me the courage to start writing on this site again. A little over a year ago, I gave it up because I was being harassed by simple things that people did all the time. So I got tired of it and left. I got back into writing after the first chapter of Carolina Rose And The Seven Potential Husbands. At first I thought of deleting it when it started off poorly. But after reading all the positive things about it, I decided to complete it and come out of retirement. So, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
With tons of love,
Jesus had no servants, yet they called him Master...
He had no degree, yet they called him Teacher...
He had no medicine, yet they called him Healer...
He had no army, yet kings feared him
He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world
He committed no crime, yet they crucified him...
He was buried in the tomb yet he still lives today...
A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with herWhen she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been abused in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won't repost it?
If you believe in Jesus Christ put this in your profile and don't just ignore this, because in the Bible it says, 'If you deny me, I will deny you in front of my Father in the gates of Heaven.
If you believe in Jesus Christ put this on your profile. Did you know that 96% of people even if they say they are Christians will not stand up for him. So if your one of the people that is in the 4% group put this on your profile. If you deny it you are denying Jesus Christ yourself. In the bible it says that if you deny him he will deny you right in front off his father. So put this on your file if you ever want to walk through the gates to heaven. Please do this. :D :D :D :D

This is really sweet...
When a girl is quiet, a million things are running through her mind.
When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.
When a girl looks at you with her eyes full of question, she is wondering how long you will be around.
When a girl answers "I'm fine." after a few seconds, she is not fine at all.
When a girl stares at you, she is wondering why you are lying.
When a girl rests her head on your chest, she is wishing for you to be her's forever.
When a girl wants to see you everday, she wants to be pampered.
When a girl says "I love you." she means it.
When a girl says "I miss you." nobody could miss you more than that.
Life only comes around once, so make sure you spend it with the right person.
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, and calls you back when you hang up on him.
The guy who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead,
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
The one who holds your hand in front of his friends and is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you there for him.
The one who turns to his friends and declares "That's her."
If you read this, you have to repost it, guy or girl, or you will have bad luck for the rest of your life.
If you repost this, in five minutes your true love will call or message you.
Tonight at midnight, they will realize that they love you.
Something good will happen at approximately 1:42 pm tomorrow, and it could happen anywhere.
So get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
If you don't repost this, you will be cursed with relationship problems for all of eternity.

CPAs Playing The Consulting Game
A recent research project conducted by ExperTeam [1], a consulting firm comprised of former CEOs, CFOs, VPs and other high level executives, found that almost 70% of executives turn to their CPA advisor for advice. That's the good news.
The bad news is, that given a choice, these executives would turn to peers, their competitors, and other "experienced" executives for solutions to their toughest problems. They think that experience is the real solver of problems.
And the better news? Accounting firms hoping to bring high-level, executive experience to their offering of services can do that by partnering with ExperTeam.
One of the founders of ExperTeam, who just happens to be a CPA, says, "Most career CPAs-turned consultants have been score keepers rather than score makers." Is this how your firm's consulting practice looks?

As you might imagine for a tourist destination, otaku mecca Akihabara has a Starbucks coffee shop.

In terms of Blu-ray sales, My Ordinary Life was a bit of a notorious failure for Kyoto Animation.

See a more realistic take on the core trio after the jump.
Goro Tameike and AV Production company TMA have debuted a new adult life action spoof. This time, the mind boggling subject is My Ordinary Life. See the spectacular, safe for work Hinichijou reenactment of Nichijo after the jump.

so about 500-550 lbs
There are very few bikes that can handle that duty
. The Goldwing is one.
I too can only afford 1 bike and it must perform multiple duties. However, it performs 1 job far more than others. That is what drove me to purchase my particular machine. It can still handle the others, but I woudln't use it that way full time. I am sure that you and the wife would not be packing up for a trip every day, but maybe once or twice a season. I would suggest that as a guide.
I do not own a supermoto, but I think it is a great bike for commuting and occasional 2 up touring. Most of all, some back road scratching.
Very few bikes have a load carrying rating of 500+ lbs. Mostly the huge cruisers/tourers, such as the Goldwings, BMW K/R bikes, and Victories.
My 800cc Suzuki C50 cruiser doesnt have a rating that can carry that much weight; neither does my BMW G650GS plus he stated he wanted a ranger of 300 miles between tanks, if I kept the g650gs between 40-45mph for the whole tank, and sipped it almost dry, I might be able to coast into a gas station at 300miles, and the g650gs has one of the highest mph fuel ratings of any dual sport on the market- and the SMs get less fuel milage; even less bikes which can carry that much fuel and have a load rating of 500+ load rating. The KLR has a 6 gallon tank so should be able to go 300 miles between tanks without that load, but with that load-very doubtful. The BMW R1200GS is supposedly rated off/on road (but it weighs almost 600 pounds-not too many people really want to heave that beast off road), can carry the payload of over 500lbs, and may be able to go 300 miles between fill-ups.

Really good looking cover for the price. You get good seals and clamps. What you don't get is directions. There was nothing about the installation . But it only took me 40 minutes to install. It is very simple to install, you'll see once you receive it. Just lay everything out on your driveway. I would recommend. Dave from Long Island

I thought the Broncos would be one of the league's toughest teams this season, but early on, they looked slightly out of sync, and it led to some early season losses. With their win today, however, the Broncos are on track for a comfortable playoff birth, and no team looks more dangerous right now. Peyton Manning quietly put together a 300+ yard game, throwing just one touchdown. While Manning's performance was noteworthy, it was the Broncos' defense that put this game well out of reach for the Panthers. Cam Newton was able to toss a pair of touchdown passes, but he also chalked up a pair of interceptions to offset his success. The Panthers' running game was no help either. All runners combined, the Panthers mustered just 52 yards on the ground. At 6-3, the Broncos are very much in the running for a first round bye on the AFC side of the playoff bracket. They're currently tied for third in the conference with the Patriots, behind only the Texans and the Ravens, but unlike thos...

Staff Correspondent
RAICHUR: The Government is committed to implement the recommendations of the High Power Committee for Redressal of Regional Imbalances headed by late D.M. Nanjundappa to achieve overall development of the backward districts in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region, Minister for Adult Education, Libraries, Small Savings and Lottery K. Shivangowda Naik has said.
He was speaking after lighting a lamp at Rangamandira here on Tuesday to mark the celebration of 100 days of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government in the State.
He said Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa had sanctioned funds for improving the irrigation facility under the command areas of the Tungabhadra Left Bank Canal and the Narayanapura Right Bank Canal of Upper krishan Project. Apart from providing Rs. 5 crore for upgrading the airstrip at Yermarus village near Raichur, Rs. 5 crore had been reserved for establishment of an agricultural university here, he said.
Syed Yasin, Raichur MLA, who presided over the function, said the BJP government had recently released a special fund of Rs. 13 crore for development of some taluks including Deodurga in Raichur.
It should also release funds to other backward taluks to achieve uniform development of all regions in the State, he said.
Chief Guest N. Shankarappa, MLC, said the BJP government was concerned about upliftment of the poor and the needy. It had allocated funds to all sectors including irrigation and rural development to achieve all-round development of backward districts in the State. But the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) had failed to meet the demands of people, he said.
Book released
The Minister released a book highlighting the achievements of the 100 days of BJP rule in the State published by the Department of Information.
The Minister said the Government had efficiently handled the fertilizer problem faced by the farmers. He said the Government had not neglected the development of the Hyderabad-Karnataka region and had released funds for the purpose.

The first elk to test positive for chronic wasting disease in hunt area 125, the Elk Mountain area on the north end of the Snowy Range, was discovered this week by the Game and Fish Department and the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory.
Casper Game Check Contacts Over 700 Hunters
Game and Fish Department personnel reported positive feedback from hunters who had their game animals inspected at a wildlife check station west of Casper Oct. 16-18. "We had a lot of positive comments from hunters," said Scott Edberg, the G&F's Casper Region wildlife supervisor. "They were very supportive of what we were doing."
CWD Discovered for the First Time in Southeast Snowy Range
One mule deer buck harvested Oct. 3 from deer Hunt Area 76 on the east face of the Snowy Range just north of the Colorado line tested positive for chronic wasting disease. CWD had not previously been found in that hunt area.
Top 10 Hunting Violations
"The type of hunting violations stays pretty consistent from year to year," said Scott Talbott, G&F assistant Wildlife Division chief. "Although some violations are blatantly intentional such as over limit or a nonresident buying a resident license, many violations are out of ignorance because a hunter didn't read the regulations."

Briggs handling 'geography' of his new responsibilities
Veteran linebacker Lance Briggs has picked up the mantle of directing the defense after the retirement of Brian Urlacher. The mechanics of getting the calls in from the defensive coaches has gone smoothly, perhaps not surprising given Briggs' Robin role to Urlacher's Batman for the better part of the last decade.
But it has not been without an occasional hiccup.
Knowing the defense isn't the problem. Briggs knows that. Besides, he's got "assistant coach" Charles Tillman helping with the secondary, and Julius Peppers needing next to zero direction up front.
[RELATED: Peppers' contract restructure could open 'extension' doors]
The "problem" for Briggs, however, is simple geography.
Urlacher was in the middle. He could see everything to either side and in front of him. Briggs as a weakside linebacker ever since his 2003 rookie season has lived his career on the outside, frequently with no one in front of him.
So how does he make a tweak, for instance, if it involves the gap defensive tackle Henry Melton is shading toward, or strongside linebacker James Anderson's spacing or depth, when Briggs is clear on the other side of the defense?
[MORE: Bears have message for those who write them off]
"It can be tough," Briggs told CSNChicago.com, "but when the offense breaks [the huddle], I'm in the middle of the field and might make certain checks. The only time I'm far removed is if there's a slot, 'trips' or things like that. If that's the case, I do get help from the other linebackers, the cornerbacks and the safeties.
"As opposed to years past, when you had Brian in the middle of it all, now everybody is helping a little more, everybody taking more ownership and communicating."

iOS 9 wish list

iOS 6 removed the Google-powered Maps app that launched alongside the original iPhone in 2007 and replaced it with new Maps app and location services more fully under Apple's control. That's means iOS 6 got features like turn-by-turn navigation, vector-based maps, and Flyover, but lost features like built-in transit directions and StreetView. It also means the quality of the location data changed drastically for many users. While this was hardly unexpected, reaction has varied from "beautiful and perfectly usable" to "dreadful and a deal-breaker."
Recognizing that Apple's new location data, licensed from TomTom and others, seems to vary in quality considerably from place to place, with big, populous American cities tending to be much better than small, rural, international areas, iMore still wanted to put them to a test.
So I got in the car and drove for nearly 6 hours and did just that. Here are the results.

The iPhone can be used to store all kinds of personal information, even the most personal kinds. The App Store has tons of apps to help women not only track current periods, but predict future ones as well. If you're trying to conceive, a lot of period tracking apps can also give you information on fertility, ovulation cycles, and more. Period Tracker, iPeriod, and Period Diary will all handle the basic tracking, as well as provide additional information about your cycle, but is one better than the other, and which is best for you?
If you're a high school or college student, your iPhone can make a great tool not only for learning, but for keeping track of courses, assignments, and projects. Whether you're in high school or university, the App Store is full of apps to help you succeed academically, and homework planners are no exception. iStudiez Pro, Erudio, and iHomework all offer ways to help you get and stay organized. But which one is best for you?
While some may still scoff at the iPad as a productivity powerhouse, thanks to spectacular software and, optionally, a kickass portable keyboard, the smart and savvy among us know the iPad can be the best way to get things done while on the go. Wether you're in business or in school, whether you need to create new documents, spreadsheets, or presentations from scratch or simply edit your words, numbers, and slides to perfection, a mobile office suite can quickly go from being a nice-to-have to a must-have to a real life (or career/class) saver.
And the iPad has several excellent office suite options to choose from. Apple's iWork comes as three separate apps, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. BlackBerry-maker RIM's Documents To Go is an integrated, Microsoft-like powerhouse. And Google's newly acquired Quickoffice Pro HD likewise offers everything all in one place. But which is the best for you and your workflow?
Screen sharing and VNC apps allow you to log in and access other computers remotely straight from your iPad. Whether you've forgotten a file on your work computer, need to access data from your Mac at home while you're on vacation, or want to run your server room from pool-side, a VNC app is what you need to get the job done. LogMeIn Ignition, Screens, and iTeleport will all give you access to any Mac, PC, or server you've linked them up with from anywhere in the world. But, they all handle the process in very different ways. Is one more convenient and full featured than the others or will they cater to completely different user bases? Follow along and we'll help you figure out which one may be right for you.
Security is constantly at war with convenience. Having unique, strong passwords for all your online accounts sounds great until you realize how tedious it is to implement them and how impossible it is to remember them. Because your iPhone is always with you, however, and because it has some truly great password management apps like 1Password, LastPass, and mSecure, it can be the ideal way to maximize security and minimize convenience. Not only that, password managers can be a great place to store all your secure information, including credit and debit cards, private notes, software licenses, and more. They can also help you generate and help you implement all your super strong, super secure passwords.
Considering the serious hacking attacks we've seen recently, you should absolutely start using a password manager, but which one should you use?
OmniFocus, Todo, and Things aren't simple todo list apps like the built-in Reminders. They're full on task managers with powerful features and work flows that help you get stuff done on time, and as efficiently as possible. Since your iPhone is almost always with you, if productivity is a priority, it only makes sense to take your task management with you. But which task manager should you take?
Newsstand is Apple's default way to enjoy magazines on the iPad. But is it the best way? Zinio has been around a long time, and Next Issue is brand new, and both offer different options and approaches. But is one better than another, and for whom?
Let's find out!
For many, their iPhone is a tool frequently used for staying on task and remembering to do things when they need to be done. That's why there isn't any shortage of reminder apps for iPhone in the App Store. Checkmark, Due, and TellMeLater are three of our favorites, but are any of them worth ditching Apple's built-in iOS reminders app?
And if so, which one?
The iPhone offers one of the best mobile browsing experiences on any smartphone platform. The built in Safari browser is great, and will only get better with iOS 6 features like iCloud tab-sync, image uploads, and smart banners. Still, it isn't, won't, and will never be for everyone. That why alternatives like Chrome, Atomic, and Mercury are so popular. But which one is the best? And which one is the best for you?
That's what we're here to find out!

To consider those changes, Longenecker said, Forbes Investment Partners had to provide some type of "public benefit." The developer agreed to provide either 35 units for low-income houses or 18 for very-low income households.
Reactions from the other commissioners and city officials to the project varied. Commission Chairman Steve Rettig said he shared Kelley's concern over the lack of retail in the project, but ended up voting in favor.
Commissioner Cher Alpert, meanwhile, said the focus was always adding more housing for families.
Other commissioners argued it would be difficult to require projects have a set amount of retail space until a larger population lived there.
Kelley insisted the original plan was a bustling street scene at the entrance of Laguna Niguel, a place friendly for walkers and bikers. Projects like Gateway Village, he said, are car-centric.
Other concerns include eventually adding thousands of more cars to an already congested Crown Valley Parkway.
City consultant Rob Olson, a traffic engineer with HR Green Inc. in Newport Beach, said short-term effects of the Gateway Village project on Crown Valley Parkway would be insignificant.
As additional development moves in, Crown Valley – recently widened on the eastbound side to help with congestion – will once again fill up with cars, he said. A westbound widening is also being planned, however, and Olson said that would make traffic flow normal again.
The project's approval brought varied reaction from business owners in the area.
Greg Richardson owns a music studio in one of the buildings set to be demolished. He said he likes his spot and that moving would be an inconvenience, but it was nothing he couldn't overcome. His customers would be willing to drive elsewhere, he said.
When informed last week that his building would be spared – the only such building on the block – Mark Kim let out a sigh of relief. His business, ABC Ice, is well-established at the location and has a custom, built-in freezer.
Kim looked out his back door and envisioned how the new apartment might look next to his building. He said he hopes his building isn't the next to go. "If they paid me $2 million, maybe I'd think about it," he joked.
Armando Besne, owner of Crown Valley Body Shop, said he isn't so sure other business owners in the area won't eventually be affected like he soon will be when his shop is demolished to make way for Gateway Village.

3 dead, 6 hurt in Iloilo mishap
ILOILO CITY—Three persons died and six others were hurt in a vehicular accident in San Miguel town in Iloilo on Easter Sunday.
Arnel Colorado, 25, a driver of a passenger jeepney, died after he lost control of the jeepney he was driving and slammed another passenger jeepney he was following at around 3:25 p.m. at Barangay (village) San Jose in San Miguel.
Colorado was pronounced dead on arrival at Aleosan District Hospital in the neighboring town of Alimodian, according to a report of the San Miguel police station.
Also killed were Rogelio Paala, 70, and Ernie Soliva, 30, who were standing on the road when they were hit by Colorado's jeepney. They were brought to Western Visayas Medical Center in Mandurriao District in Iloilo City but they died on Sunday evening.
Six passengers of the jeepney hit by Colorado's vehicle were brought to hospitals in the city for treatment of their minor injuries.
Initial police investigation showed that Colorado was trying to overtake the passenger jeepney two vehicles ahead of him before the accident happened. However, he lost control after the private vehicle in front also overtook the same jeepney. All the vehicles were on their way to Iloilo City from San Miguel. Nestor P. Burgos Jr., Inquirer Visayas

"Tags" For Missions
There have been many good suggestions I have seen regarding updating the in-game library UI for obtaining Foundry missions. The main problem I found today when I decided to spend some time trying out and reviewing some new missions is just how easy it is for the 'real' missions people have put a lot of time and effort into get lost in a sea of 'Use this Console', 'Nausicaan Grinder' and 'For XYZ Fleet only' type missions that appear in the review content section. I ended up just looking on these forums to find some to play, which is limiting for people who don't promote their missions here.
I think a good feature to have in an updated UI would be allow Foundry authors the option to add specific tags in their missions so people can filter;
Of course it is difficult to create any system which isn't abused by some, but hopefully the review system in place already would to some extent help prevent say a console to complete ranking highly in a 'Story based" filter for example.
I think this is a great idea. Would really help on finding the sort of mission you are hunting for, and help us authors target the audience we want with the type of mission as well.

In August 2012, the SEC broke new ground when it issued its first-ever whistleblower award under Dodd-Frank. The $50,000 award came pursuant to a provision in Dodd-Frank that authorized the SEC's whistleblower program to reward individuals who provided it with high-quality original information that led to an SEC enforcement action in which more than $1 million in sanctions was ordered. The SEC stated at the time that the award was based on the $150,000 the SEC had collected thus far and "any increase in the sanctions ordered and collected will increase payments to the whistleblower." On Friday, the SEC still-unidentified first whistleblower had his or her initial $50,000 award quadrupled when the SEC announced that this whistleblower will now receive an additional $150,000 payout after the SEC collected additional funds in the case.
The SEC announced that it had collected an additional $500,000 from one of the defendants in the case. Sean McKessy, chief of the SEC's Whistleblower Office, stated that the latest payment "shows that the SEC's aggressive collection efforts pay dividends not only for harmed investors but also for whistleblowers. As we collect additional funds from securities law violators, we can increase the payouts to whistleblowers."
And there still may be even more money on the way to this whistleblower. The SEC added that it expects to collect additional money from defendants in the underlying case as some are making payments under a periodic payment schedule ordered by the court.
