The Defense Systems Acquisition Management course meets the needs of defense industry program managers in today's dynamic environment, providing the latest information related to:
• Defense acquisition policy for weapons and information technology systems including discussion of the DoD 5000 series (directive, instruction, and guidebook). • Defense acquisition and reform and initiatives. • Defense acquisition procedures and processes. • The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution process, and the Congressional budget process. • The relationship between capability needs determination, resource allocation, science and technology activities, and acquisition programs.
Taught by the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) professors and other guest speakers, the course uses the same acquisition policy information provided to DoD students who attend DAU courses for formal acquisition certification.
Target Audience: Industry program managers, assistant program managers, systems engineers, industry personnel serving on DoD Integrated Product Teams, and other personnel that must interface with DoD program offices involved in program development and execution. The result of successful completion of this course is a comprehensive understanding of the environment and driving forces affecting program managers which will significantly increase awareness and effectiveness in dealing with programmatic issues. The course is also open to a limited number of government mid- to upper-level managers, tuition free. Government personnel may apply the DSAM course towards fulfillment of government continuous learning (CL) points. DSAM counts for 34 CL points, or 3.4 Continuous Education Units (CEU).
Course of InstructionManagement in the Acquisition Environment
The first block of instruction will identify the major participants in the DoD acquisition process and their roles. It will cover the 3 DoD decision support sectors (JCIDS, DAMS, and PPBE) that comprise the DoD acquisition process.
Acquisition Life Cycle Process
This block will focus on the objectives, responsibilities, activities, interrelationships, and concerns of each phase of the system acquisition life cycle. This includes research and development, program initiation, and the transition from development to production. Instruction will cover the DoD 5000 series (directive, instruction, and guidebook).
Challenges to Program Management
This block covers diverse topics that are critical to the success of the DoD program manager. Students working in assigned teams will research and analyze these topics and will culminate in a short presentation to the entire class.
Application of Acquisition Procedures
This portion of instruction covers the specific application of the acquisition procedures and the management issues currently facing the DoD program manager. The course will end with a detailed case study where participants develop an acquisition strategy using a program structure chart reflecting an instructor assigned acquisition scenario to carry an acquisition program through its entire life cycle.
Class Size
Plan ahead! The class is limited to 42 students, and registrations are accepted on a first paid, first enrolled basis.
This intense 4-1/2 day seminar presents current government acquisition programs and requirements and, through guided student interaction and team exercises, applies them to the realities of industry operations. In order for you to gain maximum benefit from this course and for others to gain from various perspectives and experience, all students are expected to fully participate in all scheduled course activities. Therefore all travel arrangements should be made so that students are present until the course ends at 12:00 noon on Friday.

Peanut Butter Mech & Tha Herban Lyf Project + DasMuku Labs Presents... Cel-Man Iller & Zakum 41-Vertical Smiles: The Soundtrack To Earths Demise - armageddon (Cumplete)
Hey everyone, it's Cel...obviously, let me tell you about this album if you don't know about it already:
This album is my love-child and masterpiece thus far being my new favorite of all my worxXx of art even surpassing the "Peanut Butter Gundam Demo" record; well, why, you may ask.
Well, this album became a work in progress directly after first half of this years albums, all 6 of them but not including (Blewprints). (Blewprints) was simply the blue print stages of my architect design for absolute talent showcasing. I think Seth MacFarlane may be Satan and if he isn't then the unholy owner of Adult Swim is. (Blewprints) was my attempt at exploiting -what I would consider to be- next to the best of my ability lyrically and on a production point. The theme behind it is simple as well, for both (Blewprints) & (Cumplete), a certain percentage of the world believe's this is the last year we will "enjoy" on this forsaken foreskin of a boulder and some think other wise. So with that, and me being overly observant, I figure 'if it can be fathomed, it's a possibility it can and or will happen." The Zeitgeist is The Prehistoric Matrix, meaning Neo is Obama (j/k?) So why not make the best album ever and go out with a bang? The economy is down the drain and the reform is taking forever. Work isn't assisting me any towards my real goals in life and going to school will take a minute so be as artistically productive as possible until something happens.
(Blewprints) following the "Experience [Life], [Death], [Success], & [Failure] As A Detroit Gothic Mistake" albums, along with the "Sweet.Pink.Velvet.Electric.Jelly.Pussy.Attack & Tangy.Charr.Satin.Hydro.Honey.Dick.Defense" albums. With the first four albums I was in secluded training with myself to get better with my production skills so they wouldn't be so "Six Sick Shitsy" and more "Zakum 41'y." With the latter two I used a mix of my own compositions as well as other producers I had an interest in spanning out into with their genre's. I never got a chance to explore my potential while KidEquip was apart of PBM and he offered something different to the table that was useful that I was not ready for at the time, so I used some producers like him and some other types of music.
Even though some of the music I didn't want to be known for making I decided to dip my toe in the waters to test the temperatures, songs like "Ressurect Cobain" was an attempt at mixing Horrorcore with my Underground Hip-Hop with a mix of some Old School Punk Rock. "Sticky Oz" was me coming out saying "ok...i can talk about drugs and bitches just like any other lame ass rapper but make it sound better and be intelligent about it. (There are 5 slight comedy sketches in it as well, though they aren't meant to be comical some have laughed at them, but all recordings of me that are not musical are just something for the fans just to have as an ear into my life, it's like letting them sit in the studio with me and just chill ad hang while I record.) "$5 D!@% Advertisement" was just a stupid recording of me mocking all other rappers talking about fucking "ho's," smh... "iScream Pornography" was a power track for ladies that like my music that want to relate to me, I used a good amount of Middle Eastern influences for the production because I love the sound and ethnicity/culture, plus some punk rock and hip-hop basic elements. "Go Fuck Yourself" was a song for a friend of mine who had an issue with people judging her about abusing drugs, her facebook name is what influenced the production style of the instrumental. I made an attempt at a Neptunes/Pharrell type beat for the sake of her name and the almighty righteousness of the floaty spaciness of being high. "Credit Roll" is a follow-up track to "Go Fuck Yourself" it follows in the same fashion with the Neptunes/Pharrell style instrumental and it's pretty much meant to help me get ready to sing more on traxXx while still delivering really good lyrical content that isn't half-assed. "Tiger Shark Pt. 3" is me going back to my roots of making weird, electro, punk rock, hard hip-hop, alternative gigs and that was accomplished wonderfully just like all Tiger Shark songs. "Gas Station Folks" has been labeled the bounce, bobbing, wobble, song. It's a soft techno song about how a lot of Arabic individuals seem to love my music and always want to help me get my music heard. "Roofies" were the outro track to the album that wasn't meant to be the outro, but it was a song to ride to at night, be high with your lady having a good time and just ride and a sing-a-long, a dear you to get high as hell with a bunch of friends and bump this in the car, it is soft but it will get you hype as heck!
So those are the minimal elements of that album and from just that small amount of enhancement, I wanted to upgrade more for (Cumplete) which you will and can expect:
Punk Rock
Underground Hip-Hop
Heavy Metal
Hard Rap
A Capella
Honky Tonk
Big Band
East Coast
And more...
The (Cumplete) album is a 200+ track album plus a compilation of songs from the past that I wanted to add to it. So (Cumplete) is intended to be the only album of mine you would ever want except for the "Peanut Butter Gundam Demo." So with that said, enjoy the album...there's no way anyone will read what I have to say about every song. (Cumplete) also includes the (Blewprints) album in it...for those that aren't keeping up. Stewie Griffin is the child of Louis Griffin and Hey Arnold!

4 Vt. schools seek to get more girls into scienceBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | November 17,2013MONTPELIER Four Vermont schools will join a program designed to get more girls interested in STEM science, technology, engineering and math programs that could lead them to well-paying jobs in fields that have not traditionally been filled by women.
The Agency of Education is providing $2,000 grants and seeking matching grants for programs at schools in Barre, Essex, Middlebury and Newport that could eventually be shared with other schools.
The educators involved in the program will receive professional development, technical assistance and access to ideas from a national network through The National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity, a group designed to ensure that women and men get the same opportunities.
Its trying to make sure that were providing a well-trained workforce for the employers, for business and industry in the state of Vermont, but it can also help us ensure that Vermont is able to compete and contribute on a national level, Jay Ramsey, the state agencys Career Technical Education workgroup coordinator, said Friday after the program was announced.
While women make up about half the workforce, Ramsey said, the well-paying STEM professions are about 76 percent men. The agencys STEM Equity Pipeline Project is another way for Vermonts career centers to develop offerings that will help girls and women pursue jobs they might not otherwise have considered.
Were hoping for partnerships and to get communities more involved in their schools, said Angela Ross, spokeswoman for the Agency of Education.
The governor has been doing listening tours around Vermont, she said, and what hes hearing from business and industry is that when students graduate they dont necessarily have the skill set that our businesses here in Vermont need.
One way to address that shortfall is to get girls and young women involved in the non-traditional fields.
Each of the four pilot sites will receive $2,000 grants. The agency is also seeking private sector partners to provide matching grants.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Stabbing leads to seizure of crack, cash and stolen firearms
MARTINSBURG – A stabbing Friday morning at an apartment in Martinsburg led police to the discovery of 113 grams of crack cocaine, a large amount of cash and stolen firearms.
At about 12:24 a.m., officers from the Martinsburg Police Department responded to 409 W. Race St. for a call reporting that a man had been stabbed. When police arrived at the apartment building, officers observed evidence of a struggle and fresh blood at the front door and in the common area of the building. The blood trail was on the walls and floor and continued through the building, ending at apartment 12, according to a release issued by the Martinsburg Police Department.
Officers heard movement inside the apartment. They received no reply after announcing themselves as police officers and ordering those inside to open the door. Police forced entry into the apartment, where officers conducted a sweep of the residence and attempted to find a victim. No victim was found, but a pistol and drug paraphernalia were found in plain view, police said.
Officers secured the scene and notified the on-call investigator, Detective Jared Luciano. While Luciano was on his way to the scene, police received information that the victim of the attack, who lives in apartment 12, was at City Hospital in Martinsburg receiving treatment, police said.
The victim of the attack was found to have a laceration to his neck caused by a knife wound. He was transported to the hospital by a friend prior to the arrival of police. The suspect in the attack was described by the victim as an unknown white male dressed in all black clothing, police said.
Luciano was granted a search warrant through Berkeley County Magistrate Court for the victim's apartment. During the search of the residence, officers found 113 grams of crack cocaine valued at roughly $11,300, a large amount of cash, as well as ammunition and firearms accessories, police said.
Information gathered at the scene led Luciano to a storage facility in Berkeley County. An additional search warrant was obtained with the assistance of the the Eastern Panhandle Drug and Violent Crime Task Force. The resulting search of the storage facility led police to a stolen AK-47 semi-automatic rifle, a stolen shotgun and ammunition, police said.
The investigation into the malicious wounding is ongoing, and police said the identity of those involved will not be released at this time. The investigation into the stolen firearms and narcotics seizure is closed and warrants are pending. The identity of those involved will be released once warrants are issued, police said.

Minn. Senate legal bill near $200K
Legal costs associated with a Minnesota Senate scandal involving a former Republican leader and her top aide have nearly doubled.
The Associated Press on Tuesday obtained copies of a new invoice from the Senate's private attorney showing $90,000 in new expenses. That brings overall costs to just below $200,000. A Senate official familiar with the matter but not authorized to speak for attribution says the spiking costs reflect aggressive efforts to settle or dismiss the case.
Former senior staffer Michael Brodkorb is suing over his firing that came after his affair with then-Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch became public. He argues female employees in similar relationships didn't lose their jobs.
Top senators meet Thursday to review the invoice. Republicans hand over power to a new Democratic majority in January.

Tools from even a few years ago can't hold a candle to new equipment.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
A dairy producer who hasn't bought a new tractor or piece of forage equipment in less than five years - which industry surveys say is most of them - will be amazed by what is out there now.
The level of technology in farming equipment today is, to put it mildly, stunning. Like classic cars, old farming equipment may have its admirers, but nothing compares to the speed, comfort, efficiency and versatility of modern equipment.
Last week I had the opportunity to learn about the 2014 tractor and forage lineup from New Holland. I knew I'd see "gee-whiz" sophistication and automation, but I didn't expect the Starship Enterprise. My head is still spinning.
Better fuel economy, faster operating speeds, easier maintenance, fewer field passes, incredible operator comfort and visibility, better safety, and a mind-boggling variety of information about what is happening were all part of the package. Farm equipment engineers sweat even the smallest details on a scale that I suspect auto engineers would admire.
Two things stood out during my in-cab rides in a hay swather and a hay baler:
- Over-the-field operating speeds of over 12 miles per hour can be had, which translate into cutting 22 acres per hour. Needless to say, this speed makes land leveling crucial.
- Information gathering, telemetry and archiving is available on a scale that I had no idea was possible. My favorite example is the ability to automatically attach computer microchips to baling twine that contain the date, time, GPS location and weather conditions for every individual bale.
There's no telling where things will go from here.
The author has served large Western dairy readers for the past 36 years and manages Hoard's WEST, a publication written specifically for Western herds. He is a graduate of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, majored in journalism and is known as a Western dairying specialist.

Everyone at Bucks' home games to be screened
Policy applies to all NBA games
The lines to get into the Milwaukee Bucks game at the BMO Harris Bradley Center could be a bit longer.
The NBA has required teams to randomly screen or wand fans attending games. That security policy changes beginning Wednesday night with the Bucks' game against the Brooklyn Nets at Milwaukee. The NBA is directing teams to screen every person entering the game.
The Bucks are advising fans to leave any unnecessary items in their locked vehicles and arrive early to avoid excessive waiting or long lines. Keys or metallic objects should be hand held.
The team said the new screening policy is a league mandate and not the result of a specific incident in Milwaukee.

So, here's the deal:
My nipples look ok when they are dried out. A little of the areola around them though is usually pink. This is the part of the areola that usually gets sucked into my pump horns.
When I start pumping it really, really hurts. I'm talking intense, shooting pain that makes me cringe. For the remainder of the pumping it doesn't hurt so bad, but it does continue to hurt, and after I'm done, even after applying some milk and letting it dry, my nipples are very tender and very, very sensitive.
I had something similar a week ago and when I saw the doc he said that if it was thrush, everything would be red. And beyond the little ring of pink, there's nothing discolored, not even the nipple itself.
The weird thing is that the pain I was having then went away while I was taking antibiotics. I just finished them this past Tuesday though and since then the pain has returned.
Any ideas?

What is in this article?:
- Farm land prices: A correction maybe, not a bursting bubble
- Government monetary policy unsustainable
- Bank set records in 2012
"Some people feel farm land prices are too high right now; others say prices will keep steadily going up, but at a slower rate than the past few years," Abbott Myers, chairman of Mississippi Land Bank, said at the organization's annual meeting. While some analysts are warning of a sharp retreat in land prices, he says, "I don't foresee another farm land bubble like the one that occurred in the 1980s, when there was a total collapse in values."
ABBOTT MYERS, left, Mississippi Land Bank chairman and Dundee, Miss. producer, and Craig Shideler, right, the organization's executive vice president, welcomed 91-year old David Harold Prichard, Booneville, Miss. Prichard served on the organization's board for many years and was recently honored by the national Future Farmers of America organization as the organization's oldest living national officer and for his contributions to the FFA Foundation. He served as national FFA president in 1940.
As "bumps in the road" occur in the farm economy, "farm land prices will reflect that," Abbot Myers, chairman of the board of the Mississippi Land Bank, said at the organization's annual meeting.
But, he says, while some analysts are warning of a sharp retreat in land prices, "I don't foresee another farm land bubble like the one that occurred in the 1980s, when there was a total collapse in values.
"Some people feel prices are too high right now; others say prices will keep steadily going up, but at a slower rate than the past few years. Everybody's got a prediction. My answer: They'll go up and they'll go down — land prices will correct themselves."
Grain prices and livestock production and the profits they produce are key factors that affect farm land demand and prices, Myers says.
"We saw what happened in the Midwest last year when they didn't make a normal corn and soybean crop. Prices shot up. Now those prices are going down — one analyst has said he can make a very good case for $4 corn this fall — and beef and dairy prices are coming up.
"It's going to be a wild year, and a lot will depend on the weather, which we of course can't control."
Land rents and production both affect farm land prices, Myers says. "When the production of the land and the renting of the land get out of kilter, something's going to happen, and price can go down."
Many land purchases in the last year or two have been by non-agricultural buyers, he says, and "by farmers who've either paid cash or paid down a significant amount of cash — they're not borrowing a lot of money for these purchases. I think this is going to help keep prices from falling the way they did in the 1980s. There may be a correction in farm land prices, but I don't think it will be a bursting bubble."
Action, or inaction, of the government also is an influence on farm land prices, Myers says.
"We still don't have a new farm bill; there has been a lot of playing politics and not much accomplished. We in agriculture don't have the votes and influence in Washington that we once had, and the basic support we've had for farm bills in the past may no longer be there.
"All bankers like to have support and stability in agriculture, but I don't see that happening in the future. I think we will be more and more dependent on crop insurance. As soon as they make the big payout in the Midwest for last year's corn crop, politicians are going to say, 'This shows how effective crop insurance is,' and that's the way things will go."

Restoration projects like Dordt's tall-grass prairie help to preserve unique species of wildflowers and grasses; provide habitat for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife; and provide local residents with a chance to enjoy a diverse mix of wildflowers and grasses and learn to appreciate their beauty as part of God's creation.
The prairie's curator, Dordt Environmental Studies Professor Robert De Haan, explained the importance of this project saying, "God has been active in this world for a long time in some significant and surprising ways. He has shaped this landscape and the world around us. It didn't just happen to be. It was shaped by God and shaped in such a way that it could support a wide array of plants and animals that we call prairie. That's a lot of what this project is about."

Although the photograph was noted with a 1938 date, my mother dated photos, and such, with a "guess & by golly" sort of nonchalance. Based on the age of my baby cousin Marilyn (born 1938 Nov 18), I would place the date of the photo in the summer of 1940 -- and the car a brand new Packard. My Aunt Bertha, in the center, most likely drove the Packard from their home in Calipatria, California, to see her parents, sisters and brothers in Klamath County, Oregon. Her sister, Margie, holding her baby niece Marilyn, would have accompanied Bertha on the trip north, and most likely their husbands as well.
The real reason that I chose this photo was that Packard was reaaalllly long -- not quite a stretch limo, but close for that day and age. Now wheel on over to see what the other Sepians have to offer.

Click here to download a copy of this brochure.
We hope this brochure will give you a general idea about what being a personal representative means and what the duties and responsibilities are.
A person named to administer an estate used to be called an executor or executrix. Now the term is personal representative, regardless of whether that person is named in a will or is appointed because there was no will.
A personal representative carries out the wishes of the decedent regarding distribution of his/her assets, and to complete the decedent's business, such as paying bills and filing tax returns.
Administering an estate is much simpler than years ago, when "going through probate" was time consuming and complicated. Most Colorado estates can be taken care of in approximately one year. In a simple estate, for example, where not much money is passed from husband to wife or there is only one beneficiary, you may not need an attorney. In most other estates, you will want some advice and help. Some wills, particularly older ones, may name an attorney to help with the estate. You need not hire that attorney, though there are often good reasons to do so. Generally, you should choose an attorney who specializes in "trusts and estates."
Your Duties in General
You have a duty to act impartially in regards to all parties to the estate. You have to treat each person the same. You have a duty to administer the estate with care and prudence (there are legal definitions about what this means), making sure to put the interests of the estate in front of your own interests in the estate. As the personal representative, you are responsible for doing the following:
• Collecting and inventorying the assets of the estate
• Managing the assets of the estate during the probate process
• Paying the bills of the estate
• Making distribution to the heirs or beneficiaries of the estate
• Closing the estate after all of the above responsibilities have been completed
Prior to Appointment as Personal Representative
If you are nominated as personal representative in a will, you have the power, before you are appointed by the court, to carry out written instructions of the deceased relating to the body, funeral, and burial arrangements. You may begin to protect and safeguard the deceased's assets. Do not remove or distribute assets before opening the estate.
Search for the Will
The original will is usually in a safe place in the deceased's home, a safe deposit box, or in an attorney's office. It is also possible the will was lodged with the court for safekeeping during the deceased's lifetime. When the original signed will is found, lodge it within 10 days with the probate court in the county where the deceased lived. If you are only able to find a copy of the signed will, it may be possible to offer it to probate. However, the signed original will is preferable. If a will cannot be found, an attorney can help guide you through the intestate probate process. Also look for a handwritten list of instructions, a letter to family or other similar documents. In Colorado, these documents may constitute a will.
Entry into the Safe Deposit Box
Any person whose name is on the box may enter it at any time. An heir or beneficiary in a will can ask the bank to search for the will, a deed to a burial plot, or burial instructions. A representative of the bank will open the box in the presence of the heir or beneficiary and remove any will that is found. The bank will deliver it to the court by certified mail, registered mail or hand delivery, but consider asking for a copy of the will before they do. After the will is filed with the court, the personal representative named in the will can file a petition or application with the court to appoint her or him.
Search for Other Documents
The personal representative is the court representative who has the authority to search for any important documents. The search should include the home, office, place of business, and any safe deposit boxes. Meeting with advisors such as accountants, investment professionals, insurance agents, and attorneys is advised. Any information indicating that an asset exists or that bills are unpaid should be kept for use in the administration of the estate. Items to look for:
• Funeral and burial plans
• Safe deposit rental agreements and keys
• Trust agreements
• Nuptial agreements
• Life insurance policies or statements
• Pension, IRA, or retirement statements
• Recent income tax returns for past several years
• Gift tax returns
• Marriage, birth, and death certificates
• Divorce papers
• Military records and discharge papers
•Certificates of deposit, bank statements, checkbooks, and check registers
• Notes receivable and payable
• Motor vehicle titles
• Deeds, deeds of trust, mortgages, leases, and title policies
• Stock and bond certificates and account statements
• Bankruptcy filings
• Partnership, LLC, or corporate agreements
• Unpaid bills
• Health insurance papers
• Papers regarding fraternal organizations or professional societies (because they may offer benefits upon the death of their member).
Opening and Closing—Informal vs. Formal?
In Colorado, we have a flexible system of estate administration. Generally, you can choose how you will open and close the estate and the extent of court supervision over your activities as a personal representative. There are two types of probate: informal and formal probate. You should consult your attorney to determine which type of probate is best for you.
Informal probate happens when there is an uncontested will or if there was no will, all of the potential heirs of the estate agree on who should be personal representative and who the beneficiaries of the estate are. Filing an application for an informal probate usually is less expensive and takes less time than formal probate. This is true because there is less court involvement. There is no advance notice to parties and no binding orders from the court.
Formal probate applies if the heirs and/or beneficiaries cannot agree on issues and they need the Court to decide for them. Formal probate is also necessary if the original will cannot be found. Formal proceedings will result in final and binding court orders and involve notice being sent to interested persons (beneficiaries, creditors, etc) about actions to be taken. Formal proceedings may also be used to settle a dispute, such as if family members disagree over who should be the personal representative.
Sometimes estates are opened informally, but closed formally, so as to get the protection of a court order for the personal representative that everything has been done correctly.
Following a death, certain creditors may be very aggressive. An important purpose of the probate administration is to provide an orderly process for dealing with all of a decedent's creditors. Try to avoid depleting the available cash on the first "squeaky wheels" because it can cause bigger problems later in the estate administration, as well as expose the personal representative to a charge that he or she showed preference for a specific creditor over others.
Your Authority and Specific Duties
You will be issued "letters" from the court, which say that you have been appointed personal representative. These letters are evidence that you have authority to act on behalf of the estate. You will need to show or send them to various third parties, such as banks, insurance companies, etc., when you are administering the estate.
Promptly after your appointment as personal representative, you should:
• Prepare a Notice of Appointment form (which is probably in the packet of forms you got) and send this to all those interested in the estate (such as beneficiaries and unpaid creditors) and file proof with the court that this notice was sent. This notice form must be sent to all interested persons within 30 days of appointment to let them know the facts and ground rules regarding administration of the estate, including your name and address, and the court in which the papers are on file.
• Set up an estate accounting system at the beginning of administration of the estate. For your protection, keep records of all cash and other financial transactions of the estate and provide written accountings to the beneficiaries. This is very important and often not done correctly. In a supervised administration or with a formal closing, the accounting forms are filed with the court. This information will also be required for tax purposes.
• Prepare a written inventory within three months, to include the estate assets on a court-approved form. If you decide to close formally, the inventory must be filed with the court. Otherwise, just give a copy to interested persons. Maintain all documentation to support the values reported in the inventory.
It's a good idea not to pay any claims until you've determined what they all are, and until you've reached the end of the time in which someone can make claims.
Paying the Family:
While the estate is being administered, the Colorado Probate Code authorizes a "family allowance" of $24,000 for a surviving spouse and/or minor children. This amount can be changed by the court at the request of an interested person. The Code also provides for a $26,000 allowance (in addition to the $24,000) to the surviving spouse that is generally exempt from creditors of the estate. When the family is entitled to these allowances, they are made before creditors are paid.
The Colorado Probate Code provides that a spouse is not completely "disinherited" from an estate. A child born or adopted after the will and omitted from a will generally has a right to share in the probate estate. If there is a dispute about this, you shouldn't make any distributions until this is worked out. Provisions about this are technical and should be discussed with a lawyer.

When the family is entitled to these allowances, they are made before creditors are paid.
To put others on notice of your authority, re-register the decedent's assets in the name of the estate with you listed as personal representative (you will use your letters of appointment as evidence of your authority).
For registered stocks and bonds, submit your letters of appointment to the transfer agent, along with the securities and an affidavit of domicile, which you get from a broker or a bank. If you need to sell some securities to raise money for estate expenses, you can do so without having the securities registered first, although it usually takes longer to get the proceeds. Bearer bonds need not be re-registered.
When you sell or distribute any real estate, you will need to use your letters of appointment.
Since the administrative period is relatively short in Colorado, you won't need to establish a long-range investment plan. The estate needs to have sufficient cash to pay bills, taxes, and expenses, but you don't need to convert everything to cash to divide it. Assets such as real estate owned by the decedent can be retained, if they're not speculative in nature and as long as there is proper diversity among the estate's investments.
The investment standard you will be held to, as a personal representative under Colorado law, is called "The Prudent Investor Rule." It emphasizes that you manage the assets intelligently and carefully, as the assets of another, with an eye toward permanent disposition of funds.
Paying Taxes: You will need to address both the decedent's and the estate's taxes. This always includes filing a final income tax return for the decedent even if the decedent paid no income taxes in recent years. You may have to file a separate income tax return for the estate if the estate is taxable.
You also may have to file federal and Colorado estate tax returns if the estate is big enough to require it. In 2011 and 2012, the total value of all assets must exceed $5,000,000.00 to be taxable and this amount is scheduled to vary in years to come. Note that for estate tax purposes, the decedent's estate includes non-probate assets such as joint tenancy assets, life insurance, 401(k) and IRA plans, and assets held in trust. Federal estate tax returns are very complicated, and are due nine months from the date of death. If it appears that the total of all the decedent's assets approaches $5,000,000.00, you should see an attorney who specializes in trusts and estates.
When a person dies, his taxable year ends on the date of his death, and his income and deductions are reported through that date. If the decedent was married when he died, the estate can join with the surviving spouse in filing a joint income tax return for the year in which the decedent died. You may be able to take certain deductions on the decedent's final income tax return or claim them as an expense of administration on the federal estate tax return. You may want to talk to an attorney or an accountant about these decisions. The estate is a separate tax-paying entity, and you must get a separate tax identification number from the IRS. File a request for this number through the district director of the IRS on form SS-4. You will need this number to open estate bank accounts as well as to transfer securities into the name of the estate if they are to be held for any period of time. The tax return used to pay income taxes for the estate is called a fiduciary income tax return. For the IRS, it's form 1041; for the Colorado Department of Revenue, it's form 104:1. These forms must be filed if the estate has any taxable income or has gross income of $600 or more in any taxable year. You may use either the calendar year or fiscal year as the "taxable year." Which one you choose will have various financial implications, and you should discuss this with an attorney or accountant.
Estate income tax returns must be filed on or before the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year (April 15th if you use the calendar year). You must pay the entire tax due. After the second year, you must file income tax estimates and make quarterly estimated tax payments.
Paying yourself:
You may choose to be compensated for your duties as personal representative. Your compensation and that of your attorney is subject to a "reasonableness test" under the Colorado Probate Code. Family members often serve without pay, except for out-of-pocket expenses. If you do this, consider filing a fee waiver with the court. If you take compensation, you must keep a detailed record of tasks performed and the time spent. Your compensation will be taxable as ordinary income.
The assets of the estate belong ultimately to the beneficiaries and not to you. Make distributions to beneficiaries as soon as it can be done safely.
Generally, estate assets are paid in this order: those held by the decedent as a fiduciary, such as if the decedent was serving as a trustee of a trust at the time of death; family allowances; expenses of administration; funeral costs; debts and taxes under federal law; amounts expended by Colorado under Medicaid; expense of last illness; debts and taxes under state law; bills; specific gifts under a will; beneficiaries under a will, or heirs, when there is no will.
Distribution doesn't have to wait until the estate is closed. You can make payments as priority is determined. Even partial distributions may be made to beneficiaries during administration. (In the rare cases where administration is supervised, distribution may be made only following a court hearing and order.) But remember, as personal representative, you are responsible if you distribute assets and then find you need the assets to pay legitimate claims.
Closing the estate:
The estate does not terminate automatically. You may elect to close informally or formally.
In informal closings, a closing statement form is filed with the court indicating that the estate has been fully administered. This limits the time to one year when those who receive assets and creditors can challenge your administration and distribution of the estate. In formal closings, the administration and proposed distribution of the estate is approved by the court and the personal representative is immediately discharged or released from liability by court order. A formal closing usually does not require an actual hearing before a judge.
The Colorado Probate Code is intended to speed up the process of administration of estates. Since Colorado has no separate inheritance tax, many smaller estates may be administered and distributed following the end of the credit period (usually within six to twelve months). In such estates, the majority of estate assets may often be distributed before closing. Larger estates often involve filing estate tax returns and may not be closed until accounts are settled with the taxing authorities. However, if the tax and probate aspects are handled in an organized way, and there are no complicated assets, like family businesses, the great majority of larger taxable estates can be closed within two years.
Potential Liability as Personal Representative
As the personal representative you may be liable to the beneficiaries for any loss to the estate and for any gain the estate should have realized but did not. The list below identifies some potential ways a personal representative can incur liability. You should contact an attorney and seek their advice as to any potential problems that may arise. Situations in which a personal representative may be found liable include:
• Failure for any reason to exercise reasonable care and skill in managing the property of another
• You negligently or intentionally did something you should not have done, such as steal funds from the estate, or fail to follow the will or commit other actions that breach your fiduciary duty as personal representative
• You negligently or intentionally failed to do something you should have done, such as properly inventorying the assets, or failing to pay the heirs or beneficiaries of the estate.
• You are liable to the beneficiaries for any loss to the estate and for any gain the estate should have realized but did not, if that loss cannot be shown to have been a reasonable risk, taking into account the term of the investment.
As personal representative, you're responsible for managing the estate until it is distributed. What you can and cannot do may be specified in the will or by Colorado's probate code.
Once you're appointed, you have full authority and control over the assets the decedent owned in his name alone or as a co-tenant with others. Property held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship is not a probate asset, nor are proceeds of life insurance that are payable to a named beneficiary other than the estate.

Appeals court upholds conviction in beating
Court: Kenosha teen was properly convicted
A state appeals court says a Kenosha teen was properly convicted of helping beat a woman to death.
According to court documents, Kawanis Trotter was 14 when he and Roddee Daniel, 15, broke into Capri Walker's house in 2008 and stole her Xbox game system. One of the teens beat Walker to death with a baseball bat. Both told police the other did it.
Daniel was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide. Trotter pleaded guilty to being a party to felony murder.
Trotter argued he should have been moved to juvenile court. The 2nd District Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday moving the case would have depreciated its seriousness and Trotter had an extensive criminal record.
Trotter's attorney, Jeffrey Jensen, said he will ask the state Supreme Court to take the case.

Regarding the overwhelming defeat of the $15.3 million water bond election, we agree with City Manager Deborah Ballí that the city now finds itself back at "square one."
As she pointed out, for those who believe there is a cheaper, better proposal for the city to solve its water problem, "now would be a good time to come forward with it."
Several people who spoke up at the recent public hearings on the water bond issue were not totally opposed to what the engineers and experts were proposing. Some, though, were concerned about the cost and burden placed on the city's taxpayers, particularly those on fixed incomes.
In fact, as Mayor Jimbo Martinez noted, he had been giving serious consideration to a less expensive solution proposed by Beeville Water Supply District Board President Jim Crumrine and geologist Kenneth Newbury.
That plan would involve drilling three wells into the Evangeline aquifer, one well into the Jasper aquifer and building a smaller reverse osmosis plant – for some amount more in the $8 million range.
Unfortunately, that was not what voters faced on the ballot last Saturday.
The group which ran large political ads in this newspaper opposing the measure encouraged citizens to vote no to the water bond, and then contact city officials and let them know they will participate in a citizens task force to help shape the future of Beeville's water supply.
It is strongly recommended they (and other citizens who wish to serve) follow through on that suggestion.
Morrill and Spires said they were eager to help find alternate solutions to our water (and wastewater) problems. We wish them and the new council all the best as they begin this endeavor – starting at their first meeting.
We still have less than two years before we could be high and dry.

A Web Interface For Decoding HotSpot hs_err Crash Logs
By sbohne on Feb 26, 2007
It produces the same output as the command-line version. Decoding the crash log is invariably the first step in HotSpot crash diagnosis, yielding the error ID and symbolic information for some of the native stack frames. In addition to providing insight into the root cause of the crash, it can also be useful to compare decoded crash logs with existing bug reports and potentially find a workaround for the crash.
- It only works with crash logs from 5.x or 6.x FCS binaries (no beta, ea, interim or developer builds.)

Each Universalis e-book gives you your chosen hours for every day in your chosen period. Each hour is complete in itself, so you don't have to flick backwards and forwards as you do in a printed book.
You can make an e-book covering up to a year at a time. It will contain whatever Universalis pages you want and it will be tailored to your local calendar.
The e-book you make will work on any Kindle. It will also work on any other device which is not a Kindle but runs Amazon's Kindle app. For instance, this is what you do if you have an Android phone whose version of Android is too old for the Universlais app itself.
If you have a modern Kindle Fire or a Kindle Fire HD, don't bother with e-books. Get the Universalis app instead!
You can buy ready-made Universalis e-books from Amazon. They cover a year or half a year each. When one runs out, you buy another. The full catalogue is here.
Here are the basic steps:
Here are detailed instructions for the Mac.
Here are detailed instructions for Windows.
You can send Universalis e-books directly to the Kindle using our web site, using Amazon's "Personal Documents" service. This works both for the Kindle itself and for Amazon's Kindle apps on other devices.
This service requires a bit of setting up, and it can't do year-long e-books, but some people find it simpler than using their computer.
Visit the site and create an e-book now!
The e-books cost you nothing once you have the Universalis program.
Free trial – after you install the Universalis program you have a month's free trial. This means you can create e-books for the month of installation and the month after that.
Registration code – to make the program work, and create e-books, without any time limits at all, you need a Universalis registration code. If you already have a registration code, use it again: you don't need to buy a new one. Otherwise the price of a registration code is:
Please note that the e-books you create are for your private use only and must not be given or distributed to other people.

Overview and History of Testosterone Cypionate
Testosterone Cypionate is one of the many esterified variants of Testosterone available, and is most likely the second most popular esterified variant (the first being Testosterone Enanthate possesses a half-life of approximately 10 days – hardly much difference. The interesting fact about Testosterone Cypionate, however, is that it seems to have a distinct favor of popularity among American bodybuilders and athletes over the Enanthate variant. These distinctions are not extreme, however, and the commonality of use and availability of both variants is almost equal with Testosterone Enanthate ever so slightly more popular. Neither variant possesses any advantages over the other.
Testosterone Cypionate was first created in the mid-1950s, and was released on the prescription drug market under the brand name Depo-Testosterone and manufactured by UpJohn (however, its brand name at first was labeled as Depo-Testosterone cyclopentylpropionate but was shortened for obvious reasons). Unlike Testosterone Enanthate, which is primarily known as an international item, Testosterone Cypionate is known to be the US answer to the Enanthate variant (although Testosterone Enanthate is utilized almost just as equally in the US). Testosterone Cypionate has held such a positive track record that it is in fact still in production by Upjohn today. As Testosterone Cypionate was the American response to the international product Testosterone Enanthate, many American bodybuilders and athletes throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s preferred the use of Testosterone Cypionate over the variant for no reason other than the support of an American product, very much akin to an issue of pride (once again, the Cypionate and Enanthate variants of Testosterone are both almost 100% identical and there is no practical reason to prefer one compound over the other).

A half-kilogram ball is thrown vertically upward at a speed of 25 meters per second (m/s). Its velocity v(t) (in m/s) at time t (in seconds), is given by v(t) = 25 - 9.8t. Its kinetic energy K(v) (in Joules) is given by K(v) = 0.5v2. Express the ball's kinetic energy as a function of time.
I think I just need to plug v(t) in for "v" in K(v), to get K in terms of t:
K(v(t)) = 0.5[25 - 9.8t]2
= 0.5[625 - 490t + 96.04t2]
=312.5 - 245t + 48.0t2
Am I missing anything, or is it really this easy? Thank you.

Bill would require all school employees to report child abuse to authorities
Education support professionals, coaches and anyone else employed by a school would be required to report suspected child abuse under a bill being considered by the Michigan House of Representatives.
House Bill 4493, introduced by state Rep. Klint Kesto, R-Commerce Township, would amend a current law that specifies who is required to report suspected child abuse directly to authorities. Kesto's bill, which the MEA supports, would add to that list anyone employed by a public or private school. As is stands, the law only requires teachers, paraprofessionals and administrators to report cases of abuse.
"I want to make sure that other school employees — from coaches to janitors to lunchroom employees — have a legal duty to protect our children and report abuse," Kesto said in a statement. "Faculty and administrators are already required by law to report sex crimes when they are made aware of them. This measure just extends that to all school employees so we are fully protecting our children."
Kesto testified Wednesday before the House Families, Children and Seniors Committee that his bill was brought on by the Penn State University abuse scandal, in which at least 45 young boys were sexually abused by assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky over a 15-year-period.
"There was an issue in that case, in that the individuals who witnessed these horrendous acts did not report them to the proper authorities," Kesto explained. Instead, witnesses only reported the abuse to their superiors, "who decided to brush it under the rug."
MEA lobbyist Christina Canfield testified at Wednesday's hearing that the current law requiring teachers and paraprofessionals to report suspected abuse works well, and it makes perfect sense to expand it to all who work in a school.
"It's not that they won't report it now," Canfield said of school employees not currently covered under the law, "but this makes it clear, so there's no miscommunication."
On behalf of MEA, Canfield requested that lawmakers include a provision requiring outside contractors who work in schools — many bus drivers, food service workers and custodians who work for private companies, for example — to also report suspected abuse to authorities.
Canfield also requested that legislators add language to the bill that would require school districts to properly notify all staff of the new reporting requirements.
The committee unanimously passed the bill on Wednesday. It now goes before the full House for consideration.

The American ideal of community dialogue is helping to resolve an ongoing Independence Day dilemma over the co-existence of our national bird and Narrowsburg's annual July 4th fireworks display.
Following last week's decision by the Lava Fire Department, sponsor of the 2012 fireworks, to cancel the event, a representative of Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther contacted Tusten Town Councilwoman Andrea Reynosa, instigating a conference call late Monday to discuss alternatives.
The conversation included Reynosa, supervisor Carol Wingert, Allison Horan from Gunther's office, the regional director of the NY Department of Environmental Conservation Willie Janeway, and Bruce Gettel of the Lava Fire Department.
The goal was to try to save the fireworks on July 4th, and several ways that might happen were considered. One was to move the display further up the river by a half mile or so.
Another was to have the town assume the liability if something were to go wrong; and a third was to make the fireworks display less noisy.
Ultimately, those involved in the discussion opted to move the date of the fireworks display until Labor Day. At that time, the eagles would have fledged. According to Reynosa, Gunther's office is going to hold the $3200 deposit the fire department put up for the event.
For next year, those involved may seek other dates or locations for the fireworks.
The Lava Fire Department cancelled the July 4th fireworks following an investigation conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The decision came after the department learned it could face penalties and fines if negative impacts occurred to the American bald eagle family, including two adults and three young, which nests in the Narrowsburg flats.
The FWS agency had no authority to cancel the display; it is
charged with enforcing the National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines specified in the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which states that Class B explosives—which include fireworks—should not be detonated within a half-mile of an active roost, or within one mile in the case of an open area such as the Delaware River. (See www.fws.gov/midwest/Eagle/guidelines/bgepa.html [1]).
The FWS informed the Lava Fire Department and the fireworks company that a violation of the act could result in a fine of $100,000 ($200,000 for organizations), imprisonment for one year, or both, for a first offense.
The FWS investigation was conducted in response to The River Reporter's (TRR) follow up on an incident brought to the attention of TRR by a Tusten resident who discovered one of the Narrowsburg eagle fledglings stranded on a spit of land below the nest on the morning following last year's display.
The issue of the fireworks and the proximity of the eagle's nest have been publicly discussed at various town board meetings in past years.
Some business owners recently expressed frustration and disappointment that the crowds of July 4th viewers, who might have visited their shops or dined in area restaurants before the fireworks, will go elsewhere.
Others in the community expressed optimism that a workable solution could be found to accommodate the fireworks and protect the eagles.

Marriage records
Jump to: Getting started Index tips Ordering certificates Other marriage records
Marriage marks a crucial turning point in a person's life. This was even more true for our ancestors than it is today, as it used to be far less common for unmarried couples to live together. You can discover details of husbands and wives in your family – and their lives together – through our marriage records.
Your starting point for uncovering your ancestors' nuptials should be our two official civil registration indexes: England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915; and England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1916-2005. These fully-searchable collections include the vast majority of couples who married in these countries across almost 200 years.
Searching the indexes is easy. Simply choose which period you want to look in and enter a relative's name plus ideally your best guess of a marriage date and place. Click 'Search' to see your results, then select 'View Record' to see further details of any entry.
As its name suggests, the transcribed details from the FreeBMD 1837-1915 index are free for anyone to view. You need to be a full member to see scanned images of the index, but in this rare case they don't give you any extra information, so you don't need to view them.
Rather than being entered together, each husband and wife are recorded in the indexes separately. The key to spotting your ancestor's correct entry is identifying their spouse.
Our more recent index includes the spouse's surname. So, if you know this you can simply use it in your search – you'll find that you have far fewer results to wade through to find the correct one.
With the earlier indexes just search as normal, click on a result and look for the 'Click to see others on page' option. This will show you a short list of people recorded alongside the person you suspect to be your ancestor. If you're right, one of the other people on this list will often be your forebear's partner.
The indexes themselves aren't hugely detailed. However, they include crucial details that let you buy one of the key documents of your relatives' lives – their marriage certificate. You can actually order these certificates direct from our site.
When you're viewing an index record, look for an 'Order marriage certificate' link on the left. This takes you to an order form, where you'll find many of the fields have been automatically filled in for you, using the information from the entry you've found. Follow the instructions to choose your preferred delivery and payment options – prices start at £22.99.
Your certificate will take up to 16 working days to arrive in the post. However, when you receive it, you'll find it provides a wealth of information about your family. You can see where and when the wedding took place; both spouses' names, occupations and ages; their father's names and occupations; and even the names of two witnesses – look closely at these, as they're often further relatives.
The official indexes go back as far as 1837. For marriages before this, your best resource is parish registers. These are lists of nuptials kept by individual churches all over the land, dating right back to the 16th century in many cases.
The information in parish registers is usually more detailed than the later indexes, with precise dates and often addresses. However, there are no certificates to order. The main difficulty with these records is that they've never been collated into a national database. We're constantly adding to our parish collections, and we already have millions of records from London, Liverpool, Yorkshire and many other areas – but when searching you should bear in mind that this isn't a complete national collection. Find out more about parish records
We have more collections you can use to fill in gaps and track down any missing ancestors, both before and after 1837. For example, Gretna Green Marriage Registers, 1794-1895, includes over 10,000 romantics who eloped to Scotland to escape disapproving families or religious law; while Crisps Marriage Licence Index, 1708-1892, helps you trace couples who kept their weddings quiet by gaining a licence.
