To promote the film's release, film Producers offered fans the chance to live a day in the life of an MMA fighter. Thousands of men and women across the U.S. entered via the official Facebook page and by texting their entry from their mobile phones. Charles Moore was randomly selected by the Sponsors and was flown to Las Vegas to attend UFC 155, where Cain Velasquez defeated Junior Dos Santos in the rematch of the year. Sitting ringside with President and Co-Founder of TapouT, Dan "Punkass" Caldwell, Charles was seen on television from his ringside seat where he hung out with some of MMA's most famous celebrities, including Sirius radio personality "Scrape" and UFC Fighters Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone. What was it like to hang VIP-style next to celebs including Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis?
"It was the opportunity of a lifetime," says TapouT's Dan "Punkass" Caldwell. To go backstage, attend the weigh-ins, meet the stars of MMA, and get one-on-one coaching from real MMA fighters is a dream come true. Charles is a huge MMA fan – exactly the type of person we hoped would win!"
Says Charles Moore: "The whole trip was insane. I kept asking myself… is this really happening? And it was!" The Sweepstakes was co-promoted by MiddleEasy, Sherdog, MMA.TV, and MixedMarialArts.com. Charles learned about the Once I Was A Champion Sweepstakes while getting his daily MMA update on The Underground.

It will not be hot.
It will most likely be coolish or can be slightly warmish. It will be damp - yes, most of the time. Many (most) days you will have mist, drizzle, light rain - and every once in a while a downpour. There will be sunny intervals. Often you will get all of these in one day.
Bring 2 pair of waterproofed walking shoes a light rain jacket with a hood and a sturdy folding umbrella. Bring some short sleeve tops, some long sleeve and a couple light sweaters. Bring something besides jeans (which are nasty when wet and take forever to dry). You can then layer as needed.
Unless you are going to a specific special event - dress is very casual.

Hi Kristy93,
"What to expect?" RAIN, but oh, when the sun comes out and the droplets cover the flowers and greenery - it's beautiful!
Enjoy Ireland...

Although personal computer technology was at its nascent stages when John Lennon passed away in 1980, the iconic musician appears in a new ad for One Laptop Per Child.
In the Yoko Ono-approved OLPC ad, a digitally-enhanced John Lennon says, "Imagine every child no matter where in the world they were could access a universe of knowledge. They would have a chance to learn, to dream, to achieve anything they want."
Implications - John Lennon is an iconic cultural figure whose identity transcends the bounds of the music world. He is related to campaigns that have a social slant. I particularly like this ad because it reinvokes the spirit of an icon that both younger and older generations can relate to. Have a look at the ad to see for yourself.

The prophets and inspirational leaders you speak of are bacons to us in this benighted land of NCEA yet it takes more than the handful of prophets: sarah, amos and abraham to light up our skies down below. It's not just the principals, BOTs and NCEA zealots that you need to address with the fruits of your works but the whole system that rewards a zero sum, profit lead and resource poor system. NCEA is pushing down into Year 10 as much as Nat Stands is creeping up from below. We are losing teh NZC war down here and it will take clear mandated leadership from on High to turn the tide away from increasingly competitive practices, internecine rivalry and individual accomplishment at the expense of the tribe. Its a good fight, its the right time but it will take one hell of a struggle to turn around the five armies of ncea, nzqa, nat standards, moe and academe.

I think that is partly because time poor, stress rich teachers can't see a way out of the assessment rut they have been hostage to for so long. They need time and modelling to help them shift thinking and redesign how they approach NCEA. Maybe online assessment, if it is thought through thoroughly and reimagined will be the catalyst for that. I think the other important factor, especially for those high decile, academically successful schools, is parental pressure to keep on churning out credit baggers, and a fear that the year they try something new will impact on that cohort of students' results and result in a backlash from parents. So how do we change the perceptions of parents and help them to understand what the purpose of education/ school is? How do we persuade universities that Scholarship and Excellence grades are not what makes a successful student. From yr 11 to 13 we are still being driven from the top down; yr 9 & 10 are being pushed from the amazing work being done in primary schools. So maybe as teachers in junior secondary start to see how learning can be re-imagined and an imperative from a changing assessment landscape shifts thinking, the change will come?

I am equally interested in threshold concepts and feel so much can be drawn on from nurturing positive relationships w our learners. Kia kaha Claire and HPSS whanau.

First up, love your work!! I follow your updates closely via Twitter - chuffed you read the post. Completely agree with your vision, that's definitely my alternate/ultimate daydream. This one really provides what I reckon that our state schools could swallow - even the ideas above are a step too far for many!! School transformation is such a bloody interesting space - a space I love being in!Claire Amoshttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044576021219205068.post-38136971022535864742016-01-25T22:45:24.942+13:002016-01-25T22:45:24.942+13:00Lots of good stuff here.

How about going even further with the use of time and taking advantage of blended learning opportunities to free up the majority of the week,/ year (i.e.whole days) for student initiated learning? Including team and independent research and problem-finding as well as entrepreneurial and service projects. That's a direction I would love to see schools move toward. - Josie http://www.josieholford.com/

We know that is not the best way to utilise tech.

But I absolutely agree that the quote from the report you quoted in para two. We need to look at new ways to teach, with the addition of tech where it fits purpose and becomes useful, to help the learning process in whatever way it's needed. The task for teachers is to find new ways to use technology to bring out student potential across a vast array of talents, to use it to contribute to a smart future-focussed vision, and to assess learning in areas beyond the 3Rs accordingly.

No mean feat. I pity media commentators who are not teacher trained, in trying to get their heads around the complexities, the subtleties and the challenges that a homogenised system of the past brings to bear on what teachers are facing as they plan forward and live in the reality of a connected and collaborative classroom. The soft skills count, and increasingly enjoy a higher profile in learner processes and outcomes as they are part of the evidencing. Key competencies are the basis of the NZ curriculum for sure, but how many people outside of education really know, believe and live that.

Teachers are brave and I doubt they will let a few headlines stop them in their tracks. It will just fuel the fire in their bellies!

I do not mean to defend the shallow reporting here. There is a real need for specialist educational reporting. That will certainly help the general public and the parents interpret and analyse the results and lead to great debate and a better understanding of just how vital, and what a great opportunity we have to provide technology to enhance real learning for all. And for students to partly direct their own learning and give wings to their own potential.

The methods are shifting, the devices are contributing, the pedagogy and the teachers are key. The results will surely follow. The reporters may well wonder how it all happened under their watch!Becky Harehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044576021219205068.post-87925109009256229802015-09-28T15:59:55.626+13:002015-09-28T15:59:55.626+13:00Agree with your sentiments here Claire. I would ju...Agree with your sentiments here Claire. I would just add what I see as two very important reasons to your list.

One is - everywhere learning. That technology and internet means that learners can access information, connect with others, publish, explore, think no matter where they are.

The other is connected learning. That people can connect anywhere in the world. That ideas and knowledge can be connected at a scale never before possible. That no one has to learn in isolation. How powerful this can be has been demonstrated so many times over the last five years or so. Your blog is one example. The edchat hashtag on twitter is another. The same goes for our kids. Why would we want to deny them these opportunities? And as you have suggested - this is the world they live in, we as educators have an obligation to engage with it.Darren Sudlowhttp://email@example.com

KQV/Trib Total Media Listener Poll Do you think John Boehner's comments about Ted Cruz were appropriate? <More Info>
John Boehner, ex-House Speaker from Ohio, left no doubt he's not a fan of fellow Republican Texas senator Ted Cruz, calling him "Lucifer in the flesh…having never worked with a more miserable S.O.B. in my life saying I'd vote for Trump in a general election, but not Cruz. Mr. Cruz replied that he's met him but two or three times and his comments reveal everything that's wrong with Washington, and if you think John Boehner is the kind of leader you want running the Republican party, then Donald Trump is your guy."

Sheriff Wiley awards scholarship to college-bound teens
GONZALES - Sheriff Jeff Wiley announced that two high school seniors in Ascension Parish will receive academic scholarships for the Louisiana Sheriff's Scholarship Program for the coming school year.
Wiley said London Marchand of St. Amant High School and Michael Favorite of Donaldsonville High School were awarded $500 LSA scholarships to continue their current trend of academic excellence and leadership.
"Academic awards by the Louisiana Sheriffs' Scholarship Program to Louisiana students demonstrate what the LSHMP is all about," said Sheriff Wiley. "This is one of our finest accomplishments that invests in Louisiana's future and gives something back to our community. This would not be possible without the kind and generous support of Ascension Parish's Honorary Members."
Scholarships will be awarded in 63 parishes throughout the state.

The volunteers of the Southeast Chapter in the Sarasota area help local wildlife and improve water quality through grass roots habitat restoration projects in coastal area. Most of the sites selected are publicy owned lands, either county or state parks or wildlife refuges. They remove invasive plant species and then replant with native species.
Exotic trees like Australian Pine and Brazilian Pepper crowd out the native plant species upon which native wildlife depends for food and shelter. When biodiversity in one link of the food chain is reduced, it impacts the entire ecosystem. For example, many native plants, such as Red Mangrove, play a vital role in the local ecosystem as a source of food, a sink for excess nutrients and pollution, a soil stabilizer, and a buffer against storms.
Our volunteers grow their own native plants by collecting the seeds themselves and growing them either in their own back yards or, more recently, in our plant nursery located on the grounds of the Gulf Conservation Foundation in Sarasota. When the plants are large enough to survive on their own, we plant them in reclaimed areas. Our native plant nursery program was so successful this year that we were able to supply other groups with plants for their projects.
Because invaders like Australian Pine and Brazilian Pepper readily germinate and can grow up to 10 feet a year, we must constantly monitor cleared areas to remove any new growth.
How You Can Help
We need volunteers to help with these projects. You can be an individual or a group. We love to partner with schools, scouts, civic groups, corporations, and faith-based groups. You don't even need a green thumb--just a willingness to work. If you have them, bring your own tools. To learn about upcoming work days, check back here or phone John Sarkozy at 941-966-7308.

"Loved this book & the narration!"
Great story with unexpected plot twists and turns. I was captivated from beginning to end. The voices were perfect to tell the amazing tale.
I didn't known what to expect give. The age of the work and the length of the narration - I stumbled upon it because I like other work by this narrator. I was very pleasantly surprised! Despite the length, the tale is riveting and engaging. The narration is all I had hoped and more.
"Loved it!"
A great mystery with several twists and turns. I also love the voices. Too often audio books just use one voice for males and females. This book uses a man and a woman, thus making it much more enjoyable. I will definitely read more of his works!;
"A Trip Through English Prose"
Beautifully written mystery with the use of high English and the art of speech that just sounds like music to your ears. Our Americanization of the old British dialogue has ruined the beauty and rhythm of gentility and speech that fills this remarkable novel.
"Interesting and absorbing period piece"
Very long but doesn't seem to drag.
Most unusual story. I have just enjoyed listening for the second time - the first time being about 18 months earlier.
"Loved it"
I had never heard of this book, but a friend put me onto it, and I'm glad she did. A great story beautifully told.
"Good book, poor audiobook"
I'm still listening to this because it's useful to have Whispersync, and I can listen while I do other things. But the audiobook performance does not add to the book; instead it takes away from it. I find myself listening to the performance negatively, rather than focusing on the plot and writing.
The Woman in White is a mystery from the 1800's. Well done, with a few annoyances which are due in particular to different viewpoints in 2014 from those in the 1800's, it holds your attention and keeps you going right along, forgetting that the soup is burning.
Simon Prebble is adequate, but Josephine Bailey is not pleasant to me at all. Her characterizations are disasterous. The Count is Italian, and she gives him an almost German accent. Better to simply read it than attempt to act and fail. I certainly won't get another of hers.
I definitely recommend this early romantic mystery as a book, but if wanting it in audio format, find another version.
"Good solid story with great descriptions"
Recommended - it was a great historical story that was well written, solid and interesting.
Yes it did - great descriptions of the period and the people.
Highly recommended if you enjoy a wee bit of romance, a mystery set in a great bygone era. It's a classic and deservedly so.
I am a working mom who loves to squeeze in listening to books while walking, doing chores or commuting.
"Victorian Mystery"
I enjoy Victorian classics, so this satisfied my expectation.
The plot twists were well done. I liked the beginning scene when the woman in white first appears in the foggy London streets.
Miriam was my favorite character and was the strong heroine of the book.
Movies are never true to the book, but I would probably go with "Victorian suspense at its' finest."
Very good narration.

Nice stopover close to Grand CanyonPosted Apr 24, 2016
Overall, the hotel (which used to be Hampton Inn) is clean and close to everything. Village Inn Restaurant is next to it and offers free pies on certain days. Only gripe is that room is small and pillows don't offer much support for your neck (too flat). It's a great stay over from surrounding parks. Breakfast is typical of any Days or Hampton Inn. We would stay again but bring our own pillows from home.

It's 2.5 Stars....Posted Apr 16, 2016
Not a lot to say. Haven't stayed in a less than 3 star but normally 4 star for 10 years. The difference between 3 and 2.5 was substantial. This seemed to be a Days Inn or the like that was converted maybe 5 years ago? Definitely an old building, small rooms, husband hated bed/pillows. Continental breakfast was well; continental. (Whatever that means). We stayed with a 3yr old and 14 month old. No room for our pack n play without moving the beds, a lot. 2.5 star I guess isn't for us? We've stayed at other Country hotels though a long time ago and they seemed nicer than this one. The hotel staff were A++ though. Very kind and helpful.

Perfect basecamp for Flagstaff area adventures.Posted Mar 24, 2016
Pros: Easy access. Clean. Great rates.
Location: Easy access to Flagstaff and area attractions, like Grand Canyon National Park.
We had a great stay at this hotel. No complaints. It's the perfect basecamp for your Grand Canyon excursion, or anything else in northern Arizona. The facility is on the edge of town, with easy access to / from major roads. The rooms are clean and comfy. Breakfast has a variety of items to get you going in the morning. Overall, a great stay at a great price.

It was a quiet, comfortable hotel on our way through AZ

Close enough for a day trip to the Grand Canyon!Posted Mar 23, 2016
Pros: The inclusion of breakfast and coffee throughout the day.
Cons: I don't know the feasibility of this request but train the staff to consistently deliver the same level of service.
Location: The location was close to the freeway, convenient for in and out access. Approx 1.25-1.5 hours from the Grand Canyon. Many restaurants near by.
Overall an enjoyable stay: - Bed was comfortable. - Bathroom was clean. - Microwave and fridge. - Breakfast was decent, arrive early though! - Included all toiletries, the make-up removal wipe was a great touch. - Baseboard came loose when my suitcase caught the edge. - Chair and ottoman was dirty, I didn't even place my articles on it let alone consider sitting in it. - One elevator. - Limited parking depending on day but they share the lot with Days Inn (next door) and overflow with the facility across the street. Would have been nice to have been told this information at check-in. - Staff was courtesy, some more helpful than others.

Rail Budget 2016: clean coaches via SMS, CCTVs to rein in touts, Baby food
Railway minister Mr. Prabhu in a bid to change the image about the national transporter has desired to improve the amenities for passengers. He proposed the cancellation of tickets by calling enquiry number 139 to reduce time loss for passengers while queuing up at counters. Also, he proposed CCTV cameras installation at the ticket booking counters, which is seen as a step towards reducing, in particular, the menace of touts engagement in the booking of bulk Tatkal tickets.
Also, Mr. Prabhu unveiled the clean my coach services by passengers through SMS to enhance trains sanitation. He also unveiled ways to bring two mobile apps for offering suggestions, to redress grievances, ticketing issues, and complaints. To provide on-time information on coming halt, the Railways plans to unveil digital displays GPS-based very soon inside the coaches. He has also proposed smart coaches with entertainment screens and automatic doors for advertisements.
The Railway Minister has planned to invite the FM radio stations to provide their services on selected trains. Also, he said passengers will be opportunity to buy insurance travel for rail journeys, and there will be a facility on an hourly basis for retiring rooms booking.

India Rail Budget 2016
Suresh Prabhu The Railway minister to expand rail network and speed up trains, Fares not affected as state polls approach; big freight push
Suresh Prabhu, the railway minister, steered Rail Budget 2016-17 on Feb 27 with promises of a financial turnaround, a qualitative improvement in passenger amenities, reforms in the Railway Board's functioning and raising the speed of trains in the course of change. Not falling for the bait of increasing the rates of passenger freight and fares in a year with four states heading for Assembly elections, the railway minister Mr. Prabhu made the promise of expanding the rail network massively and moving international standards to run trains.
The railway minister enumerated seven goals aside the (2030) National Rail Plan for the multi-modal transport system in India, to get back the freight share lost to the road sector. He doubled the speed of goods trains, ensuring zero accidents, adding 25 km/h to the speed of mail over the next five years and express trains.

Laced with many terms of Hindi, Mr. Prabhu gave the slogan of "Let's do something new together" (Chalo milkar kuch naya karen), which seems to show the stamp of Narendra Modi The Prime Minister. It captured the new idea of partnering with PSU firms, private players, and state governments, to take up new projects. "The Three Pillars of the plan for us is Nav Sanrachna (new structures), Nav Maanak (new norms) and Nav Arjan (new revenues)," said Mr. Suresh in his seventy-five-minute speech delivered at his special "bullet" speed.
Mr. Suresh proposed Antyodaya Express, a new train, Seeking an image makeover to fascinate the Narendra Modi government to the poor, to run at super fast speed, meant for unreserved passengers. He also unveiled unreserved DeenDayalu coaches with a higher number of mobile charging points and potable water. Also, there will be Humsafar (totally 3rd AC) new trains with Uday, optional meal facilities, which will be double-decker service (overnight), and Utkrisht for the busiest routes, a double-decker AC Yatri Express.
The railway minister laid an enthusiastic target to provide assured berths by 2020 on demand, while saying two DFCs (dedicated freight corridors) [Ludhiyana to Dankuni and Dadri to Jawaharlal Nehru Port ] would be achieved by 2019, to throw open more tracks to run additional passenger trains. Mr. Suresh also proposed three more dedicated freight corridors on the Bhubaneswar-Mumbai, Bhubaneswar-Visakhapatnam, and New Delhi-Chennai routes to gain back the lost traffic freight.
Budget 2016 – Lower berths quota increase
Railway Minister Suresh Babu to increase the quota of lower berths for senior citizens, pregnant women and women passengers aged above 45, the Railway Board has directed to increase the quota to 4 each berth in every sleeper class coach.
As per the new rule "two senior citizen women will be allotted lower berth seats together in a train." The increase, however, will not be applicable in the AC three tier and AC two tier coaches where the quota earmarked for them will remain at two for the lower.

SECR's 'green initiative' gains momentum
SECR (South East Central Railway) planned to construct an energy efficient building which is multi-storey to serve as the Chief Administrative Officer's office. The official stated that the estimated cost of the proposed construction is `23.16 lakhs. However, The South East Central Railway headquarters is already being converted into a 'green building'.It is also officially stated that there is a proposed move to embrace the use of solar power in South East Central Railway office buildings primarily as a renewal source of electrical energy.
As a major project, the rooftop of the Office of General Manager's Building is to be used to provide solar panels and to take this initial step for converting the South East Central Railway (SECR) Zonal Headquarters into a 'green building'. The South East Central Railway Raipur division has also installed at level-crossings in the remote pockets of the division a solar panel so as to Continue its effort to elevate the utilization of renewable energy, According to PRO (Public Relation Officer) Raipur Division Ratan Basak, the Railways has equipped initially up to nine cottages of manned level crossing with solar panels and its expansion will be carried out soon. He added that many offices of Railways and administrative buildings of the division are already fitted with solar panels.
Rattan stated further that the power consumption has been lowered by 60% due to the solar panels electricity generation at these level crossings.
The power induced by these solar panels is used for phone recharging, lighting, and other purposes. For the installation of solar panels at a level crossing, the estimated cost is about `20000 lakhs, and it generates about 150 units of electricity. These solar panels will last for many years, say 15 to 20 years with minimum maintenance. The South East Central Railway Raipur Division has also achieved energy conservation targets by allocating in 70 days LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs. Impressively, the target was to assign the distribution of 60,000 LED bulbs on October 14 among the staff and officers of the division within one year. However, the division has completed the target in 70 days instead of the proposed one year as a result of the excellent response of the employees.
The SECR Raipur division in conjunction with EESL (Energy Efficiency Services Limited) and Union Ministry of Power had started the distribution of LED bulbs among employees of Railway on October 14.
The LED bulbs were distributed by Rahul Gautam the Raipur Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) in the presence of Vivek Khare the Additional Divisional Railway Manager (ADRM), Ved Prakash, the representative of EESL and other officials at the Divisional Railway Manager Office.
Enumerating the advantages of utilizing LED light bulbs, Ved Prakash the representative of EESL said LED light saves the electricity consumption of about 80% electricity and is also an economical friendly option.
Rahul Gautam the Raipur Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) has urged his employees to use LED bulbs at the office and home since it is eco-friendly and it saves electricity consumption of 80%. The Raipur Railway Division (DRM) is offering the LED bulb at `100 for the employees,
According to sources, until the end of October, the Raipur Railway Division (DRM) sold 60,000 targeted number of LED bulbs in which employee of the Division can buy from the LED bulb counter at the Raipur Railway Division by tendering the Identity Card. The bulbs have about three year warranty. The strive is being made by the Railways in conjunction with EESL (Energy Efficiency Services Limited) and Union Ministry of Power.
Hawker Policy
Indian Railways are often known to be the lifeline of the nation. It does not only transports goods and passengers, but also links the whole country into a standard string. Virtually all Indians are connected directly or indirectly to the Indian Railways.
It directly provides a means of living to many people and also offer jobs to over 13 lakh employees in the country. Many unlicensed and licensed hawkers earn their livelihood due to the existence of Indian Railways. These sellers still want to have more access to the railway bases. On the other hand, there are associations of the passenger which many times without number raises the demand for controlling of illegal hawking in Indian Railways.
However, it was allege that these hawkers are repeatedly seen occupying spaces in railways stations and coaches, selling prohibited items like tobacco and on foot over bridges which limits movement of bonafide passengers and becomes a safety hazard.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for an administration which takes into consideration the stakeholder interest. The administration needs to implement social justice to the hawkers, and this should not lead to operational bottlenecks at the same time. So as to help the Indian Railways in outlining of a policy on Hawking, suggestions are welcomed from all the stakeholders in Indian Railways, which will be integrated to address the interests of all in a useful manner. It is requested that you send your suggestions, latest by 31st
March 2016 to firstname.lastname@example.com

Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil – or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, ethyl, or propyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters. Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuel converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petrodiesel in any proportions.

There is no truth in the above referred article published in TOI on 02.01.2016. Tickets can not be booked in Tatkal on IRCTC website in 10-20 seconds as claimed in the report. Adequate steps have been taken by IRCTC to counter the efforts/ claims reportedly being made by various Tatkal software sellers in the market. These softwares are using scripting tools at client end for fast filling of passenger data, which is being nullified by various delays and time checks implemented in the booking and payment process at IRCTC end. There is no hacking of IRCTC website, as claimed in the news article. In fact large number of checks have been deployed on the website to safeguard the interests of users of website like:
- Only two Tatkal tickets for single user ID in opening Tatkal in 10- 12 hours period,
- Maximum 10 tickets in a month to a user.
- Only one Tatkal ticket in single session ( except return journey),
- Only two opening tatkal tickets per IP address,
- OTP (One time password) is mandatory for net banking payment options. This has been confirmed by all Indian Banks to IRCTC.
- Time check delays in passenger information filling, Captcha and bank payment. With various checks and time delays implemented on IRCTC website, it is not possible to book any opening Tatkal ticket in 10-20 seconds as claimed in the report.

Wellington's two Sports-Wide gyms will remain open despite the company that runs them being put into liquidation.
The company owed Inland Revenue $1.03 million - plus another $278,184 for rent arrears - associate Judge David Gendall said in the High Court at Wellington today.
Sports-Wide liquidator John Fisk, of PricewaterhouseCoopers, said a decision was made with the company's directors to keep both The Terrace and Willis Street gyms' doors open while trying to find a buyer. It was a matter of making sure a decision was made to give the best return for creditors, he said.
A director of the company who was in court refused to comment both after the court hearing and after the meeting with liquidators.
The liquidation comes after the Commissioner of Inland Revenue refused to accept a proposal to settle the debt with the payment of a reduced amount of core tax the company said was owed, waiving interest and penalties.
