A federal judge declared California's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional Wednesday, saying that no legitimate state interest justified treating gay and lesbian couples differently from others and that "moral disapproval" was not enough to save the voter-passed Proposition 8.
California "has no interest in differentiating between same-sex and opposite-sex unions," U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker said in his 136-page ruling.

Auto title loans in Fort Myers are subprime loans given to borrowers with bad credit who use their auto equity as collateral, allowing consumers to borrow money based on the value of their vehicle.
When you apply for a Cash Title Pawn, you'll have to show proof that you hold the title of your vehicle in Fort Myers. It is important that your vehicle has a clear title and that your car loan is paid off or nearly paid off. The debt is secured by the auto title or pink slip, and the vehicle can be repossessed if you default on the loan.
Some lenders may also require proof of income and/or conduct a credit check, bad credit does not disqualify you from getting approved. Auto title loans are typically considered subprime because they cater primarily to people with bad credit and/or low income, and they usually charge higher interest rates than conventional bank loans.

Securing title insurance ultimately protects you from potential ownership or transfer problems of your property. Land titles allow you to own, control, and dispose of your property legally. All previous owners and transfers are shown in these documents which will allow the current holder to trace previews owners. In some cases, defects occur in the transfer of title, which can lead to the potential loss of your house. A title insurance protects you from this risk.
When is title insurance necessary?
If you need to pay mortgage or have plans for refinancing, then having one is a must. Lenders consider this a prerequisite before considering and approving loans. The insurance will be valid until the entirety of the loan is paid. Note that an owner's policy for title insurance is different from that of a lender's. A lender's policy usually does not equate to the full value of the property while an owner's policy has provisions indicating full coverage of the value in case of defects.
What is the payment scheme for an Owner's Policy?
You pay a one-time fee and the title insurance for as long as the owner and the heirs of the property choose to keep it. There are no monthly premiums, unlike other homeowner's insurance policies. When there is a spotted defect during the title search, a fact-checking process for realtors, owners will then have greater protection against potential losses and an owner's policy will fully reimburse the owner of their losses.
What common defects are encountered with titles?
Some of the most common conflict related to titles are: unpaid mortgages and taxes, conflict between heirs, omissions in deeds, fraud/forgery. Having an owner's policy title insurance will mean that the seller will back you up legally in addition to financial coverage.
Do I need to get title insurance for a newly built house?
Although the house itself indicates that you are the first owner, the lot may indicate another thing. A vacant lot will most likely have a previous owner and in order to make sure you are protected from problems such as unpaid subcontractors during the clearing process of the lot, having an Owner's Policy will be necessary.
If my property's value increases, does the title insurance follow?
In most cases, no. But, you can increase coverage by paying a minimum fee to your insurance provider. To extend the coverage to changes that may have occurred in the title since the original policy, you would need to apply for a new, separate policy and pay the full rate.
Purchase a title insurance from a licensed provider. Fees may differ from state to state but the amount is far from the actual value of your property. Shop around for insurance title providers and compare fees.
You need some cash, but you aren't sure where to get it. In your research, you've come across different kinds of loans and options for fast cash. There are Cash Title Pawn, home equity, secured loans and unsecured loans. There are so many kinds; it can be very confusing to keep them all straight. So what kind of loan sounds like the best deal for you?
Differences Between Auto Equity Loans and Title Loans
619-620 = High Interest Rates
Here is a story about Liz and Hernando Bodia. They became victims of the system and were paying interest rates that can be branded like a highway robbery. Hernando owned a home and in 1998 became totally disabled. He had about $20,000 in equity in the home and had an un-blemished payment record.
Hernando was involved in a work-related accident and was deemed 100% disabled by the Federal Social Security Commission. During the time that he became disabled, he couldn't make payments on his home. The lender (won't mention names) has a stellar reputation in the mortgage industry for preying on the BC market or in street terms - financing people with less than perfect credit.
Hernando realized his situation and contacted the bank. He in his simple manner, asked if the bank could provide a program to make his payments after he receives his Social Security settlement. They could have extended the mortgage. They knew he was getting Social Security. When Hernando got his Social Security Check, he offered to make all of the back payments. He was refused because the house was already in foreclosure.
They virtually stole his home. But the worst part is the entry of foreclosure on his credit report. What a shame! Hernando subsequently married Liz and they were able to buy a home on her credit and income. The story does not end here. She recently wanted to refinance to take advantage of a better interest rate. We took the mortgage application. Her Beacon score was 619. Remember back in the articles when we talked about Beacon scores. 620 was the magic number that underwriters use to separate consumers from being conforming or non-conforming.
If your credit score is 619, you are automatically put into a sub-prime category. This means you might pay 9 ½% for a mortgage rather then 7 ½% that a good credit risk might pay. Doesn't sound fair but let's run the numbers.
7 ½% on $100,000 the first year is $7,500. 9 ½% on the first year is $9,500. Multiply that by 30 years and you see the real cost of what a 619 Beacon score can cost you. Anyway, Liz had an entry on her credit report that showed she was 30 days late on a mortgage payment. Now we know about electronic underwriting where the underwriter is a machine that simply is locked up in the basement of the bank building and the only thing that it can do regarding underwriting is respond to what is placed in front of it. It is not allowed to ask questions or find out the reasons for certain things.
Then we have manual underwriting. But this takes a little effort and time. God forbid that some fancy pants loan officer would actually try and help someone. Manual underwriting means that a real live person looks at a mortgage application and an accompanying credit application. When the obvious presents itself (such as a credit score within one point of becoming conforming), it would be prudent for that loan officer to ask questions or find out the reason.
In the case of the family above, it was evident that the loan officer was either out playing golf, having coffee or simply deciding whether or not to answer his voice mail (that really is everyone's pet peeve). I want to wander for a minute regarding mortgage applications and how manual underwriting could help this family obtain a conforming mortgage.
Liz had kept all records. She was never late. She talked to the lenders representatives and was told that there was nothing that could be done. Her record showed a (30) day mortgage late and she had to pay the costs and other expenses related to this situation.
Now, you tell me how an average working person can solve a situation like this. Should she hire an attorney? What could he do? How much would he charge? Well, Liz and Hernando are not folks that "fell off of the fruit truck". They thought of an ingenious way to get the best attorneys to represent them and not pay any money. What you say? Well here is what they did. Rather than go through the aggravation of dealing with incompetents, Liz contacted the Florida Department of Banking and reported her dilemma.
Now remember, Liz was an impeccable keeper of records. She provided the Department of Banking and Finance with all records and proved her contention that she was never late. The State of Florida notified the lender in a very terse letter letting them know that they might be audited. Lo and behold, the lender sends a letter to the State of Florida and to Liz and for some unknown reason, they conveniently found the misplaced payment. Wonders will never cease, when the big boys know that you are serious. Liz got a check back for all of the charges, her credit report was made clean and she got her credit scores raised and her new mortgage followed.
There is a moral to this story. When you run into that "brick wall" because someone in the system has "power and authority" and they can only respond with "no", use the example of Liz and Hernando. There are various different branches of government where people are paid to listen to the complaints and problems of consumers. Politicians maintain a staff to listen to problems that just might "help the cause". These folks are paid to help you. Why not use them to intercede on your behalf. The key here is the manner in which Liz kept records. If you think that because you are upset and mad and can yell louder than the next door neighbor's "german shepard" , think again. That gets nothing. BUT, good records are evidence of someone that is organized. Thanks, Regis Sauger

Mixologist Jeremy Oertel of Donna - Biography
Brooklyn, NY
An artist by calling, Jeremy Oertel discovered his other talent--mixology--by chance. Working behind the bar to support himself through art school at Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, Oertel was soon caught up in the creativity of crafting cocktails. He relocated from Georgia to New York City, ostensibly pursuing painting and drawing, but as he worked his way through mad mixologist labs such as Cornershop, Dram, and Mayahuel, he found his appreciation of this new medium growing. To Oertel mixology is founded in equal parts artistry and craft, much like his beloved painting. In his current position as head bartender at Williamsburg's Donna, Oertel crafts technically adept drinks that reflect his artistic vision and eye to originality and balance.

Voice Actress Sora Tokui Ends Makeruna!! Aku no Gundan! Manga
posted on by Egan Loo
The official Twitter account for voice actress Sora Tokui's Makeruna!! Aku no Gundan! (Don't Lose!! Evil Corps!) manga series announced on Tuesday that the manga will end in the May issue of Monthly Bushiroad magazine on April 6. In addition, Kadokawa will publish the manga's second compiled volume on April 13.
Tokui will commemorate the manga's ending with an event at the Bushiroad Store in Makuhari, Chiba on April 15.
The four-panel comedy manga's story centers on an "evil corps" that is planning to conquer the universe. The group sets out to invade Earth, but their spaceship disappears. They encounter an Earthling boy who helps them. The aliens take up part-time jobs and continue with their plans to conquer Earth.
Tokui launched the manga in Monthly Bushiroad magazine in 2013, and the first compiled book volume shipped in Japan on March 17, 2017. The first chapter is available to read for free on the magazine's website.
The manga inspired a television anime from director Takahiko Kyogoku at Tatsunoko Production last spring. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
Tokui is a member of the Milky Holmes idol group with Suzuko Mimori, Izumi Kitta, and Mikoi Sasaki, although the group is breaking up next February. Her anime voice roles include Tantei Opera Milky Holmes' Nero, Love Live! School idol project's Nico, and BanG Dream!'s Hinako.

Working life: Trials Manager Jen Lawson
by Guest Author on 24 Aug 2016
Jennifer Lawson is the Trials Manager for the recently launched Deep and Frequent Phenotyping study looking to do the most in-depth research ever conducted to find out how Alzheimer's disease develops. She is part of Professor Simon Lovestone's Translational Neuroscience and Dementia Research group at the University of Oxford.
Career in brief
- Psychology BSc
- Worked at the Oxford Mental Health Trust as a Research Coordinator
- Part time Cognitive Neuroscience MSc whilst working full time at the Trust
- Managed the feasibility study that has led to this Deep and Frequent Phenotyping study
My career path has been slightly unusual. Like many of my peers studying psychology, I planned to become a clinical psychologist. So I went to gain experience working in Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, assisting with clinical trials and other research studies.
I quickly realised that I had found a fascinating area that I really enjoyed and wanted to keep on working in. Now I'm a trials manager at the University of Oxford, in the Department of Psychiatry. I'm one of the few people I know in the department doing this sort of work who doesn't have a PhD. So far I haven't needed one. I do quite often get people writing to Dr Lawson and I wonder who that is.
Part-time study, full-time work
Once I realised that I wanted to stay in research, I began my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience. I studied part time while working full time at the Trust. It did kill a lot of my evenings and weekends for about two years, but it was worth it. I enjoyed it but above all I think having that extra qualification studying neuroscience in more depth, bumped my CV enough to move my career forwards.
My first multi-centre study
The feasibility work that lead to this research was the first multi-centre study I'd run, which was somewhat daunting at first. I was aware that there was a lot to learn and new challenges to face, but it went extremely smoothly. I'd done a lot of work in local centres and when I moved onto multi-centre trials I found that the same kinds of problems that I have to tackle locally exist, but on a bigger scale. Issues were mostly around logistics and how the protocol would work in particular centres. Centres had subtly different set-ups so I had to work with them to ensure things could be adapted as necessary.
An unusual trials manager
I think often people look for postdocs to do this kind of job, and that makes me an unusual trials manager. However I think my experience helped me more than anything else – I'd spent a lot of time working on drug trials led by the pharmaceutical industry and on studies run by academics here in the department. I had come across a lot of the challenges that research studies tend to face, and after a while I developed a good eye for which things I need to be concerned about, and which things are reasonably straightforward to resolve.
It's fascinating to be part of a team looking for treatments for Alzheimer's disease and understanding how the disease works. It's a field with such huge unknowns and people are making advances all the time.
Important work
I am quite lucky in that I don't have a history of Alzheimer's in my family. But unfortunately, many of my friends have. As a kid I used to go with my best friend to see his grandma after school almost every day. She developed Alzheimer's some years after we finished school and passed away just a couple of years ago, which was devastatingly sad for everyone that knew and loved her. It's so prevalent, it affects nearly everyone in some way. It feels particularly worthwhile to be working on something that touches so many people's lives.
I love being part of this group. We're not just looking for biomarkers and running clinical trials, we also have people in the group looking at basic science, cell cultures, animal models and mining complicated datasets.
Do I belong here?
The first talk I attended here made no sense to me and I remember thinking – 'should I even be in this room?' But over time I've learnt so much from it. You often don't realise how much you have picked up until someone asks you a question about something, and you find you can explain it pretty well. That's one of the best things about working in such a diverse research group – we are constantly challenged to make our work accessible, spurred on by the blank looks we get from each other if we don't.
Communication is key
I take every opportunity to communicate the work I do. In medical research, the reality of developing new treatments or therapies is that they take a long time to translate into clinical practice and to reach patients. The unfortunate effect of some media reporting is that findings can be over-inflated, giving unfounded hope when research is years away from clinical application. But, if communicated correctly, I think people can take a lot of hope from the exciting advances taking place in medical research.
I think the more researchers who are happy to speak to the camera and the media, the better. It's easy as a scientist to sit in your office and not interact with the media or go out and do public speaking because you're busy with your research. But it's important: we need to get out there and explain why our research matters.
As told to Sylvie Kruiniger
Jen talks about the joys and challenges of working in an interdisciplinary team in our MRC talks podcast.
The Deep and Frequent Phenotyping study is a new multimillion pound study, involving the most thorough and rigorous series of tests to detect Alzheimer's disease ever performed on volunteers. Funded by the MRC and the National Institute of Health Research it hopes to improve the success rate of clinical trials for treatments in Alzheimer's disease. In the below video Jen explains why the study is needed.

Game over, baby.
I have two main interests and hobbies, that go above all others. One of them is gaming. To me it's more of a lifestyle than a hobby, I remember the first time I held a controller and when I got a NES for christmas at the age of eight. It was the start of a love for pixels that have never faded through the years.
Sew Cool
My second hobby, interest and lifestyle, as I am sure is no surprises to you regular readers, haha. Can you believe that three years ago I fixed holes in my jeans with duct tape? I'm not kidding you, I could barely thread a needle.
But things change, people change and sometimes it's for the better.
Don't run with scissors.

Obama is worried about his legacy. He is better off hiding from it. To my mind he is the worst President in American history. He has embarrassed the black America by doing such a bad job. He has turned hope into failure, change into static redundancy.
If I were black I would turn over the ace of spades and replace it with a reasonable three of clubs. Forget show off, nouveau riche, over-spending Presidents.
I wouldn't want to be associated with the President. I am Jewish and I don't want to be associated with liberal Jews. To improve our own we must reject our own.
Obama dictatorially says, "I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election." In other words if we don't vote for Hillary Clinton, whom he considers black even though she is stone white, Obama will consider us low-lifes.
Obama thinks that transgenders get to determine their sex. I suppose he thinks Hillary and Bill get to determine their color.
Obama stood up for change. I did not think that he wanted to change the electorate's votes to positions that he wanted to dominate.
Obama further says, "You wanna gimme a good sendoff? Go vote!" It's not bad enough that he ruled by executive order, he now wants to choose voters and votes.
Mussolini looked milquetoast compared to Obama.
Obama talks about black people as if they were his slaves. He is insulted by slavery but encourages it in voting.
Don't forget that he received 95 percent of the black vote making them look stupid and monolithically prejudiced. The voters put him in a second term after he failed during his first.
Black economic behavior has failed since Obama took office. The Mideast has become a tinder box. His legacy is decapitated heads in the desert. And American cities are rioting over racial antagonism that hasn't existed in fifty years.
Religious Jihad in the Middle East. Racial Jihad in our angry cities.

True Redneck Summer Top!!!!
This was taken in front of the Gardendale, Alabama , Wal-Mart,

On the other hand .... $6 for a three pack is a good price!!
But what if they weren't bought new? That's redneck recycling at its best.
Don't throw out yer feller's drawers when the skidmarks don't wash out no more.
Just cut the crotch out and wear 'em.
How very Green!

Cycling Author Granted $65K in Attorney Fees
(CN) – The author of a cycling book was awarded more than $65,000 in attorney fees after winning a copyright dispute, despite the "vigorous objections" of the defendant publisher and its owner.
U.S. Circuit Judge Gerard E. Lynch in Manhattan decided that granting the fees to Julie Harrell "will provide compensation to an author-plaintiff, who was forced to pursue this litigation in the face of obviously losing positions on the part of the defendants."
"Not only was defendants' decision to force plaintiff to litigate without colorable basis," Lynch wrote, "but defendants also chose to pursue the matter in a particularly vexatious manner that multiplied plaintiff's expenses."
Robert Van der Plas and Cycle Publishing were ordered to pay Harrell $7,500 in June for republishing an unauthorized version of "A Woman's Guide to Bikes and Biking."
The judge granted the award this week over the defendants' "vigorous objections."
Van der Plas and Harrell agreed to a publishing deal 1999, but the company relinquished all publishing rights to the author in 2006, though they were allowed to sell their remaining stock of original editions.
But two years later, Harrell discovered that the defendants were publishing and selling a "substandard" revised edition of her book.
She sued in September 2008, claiming Van der Plas did not have her permission to publish a revised version.
This led to a series of unsuccessful – and unnecessary – actions taken by the defendants, according to Lynch, including a "largely frivolous motion to dismiss" and "an unwarranted arbitration claim just three days after the Court denied defendants' motion to dismiss."
After Harrell won the case, the defendants argued that they shouldn't have to pay for her lawyer, because the complaint was more akin to a contract dispute than a copyright violation.
Lynch didn't buy it. He called the argument "puzzling," and ruled that Van der Plas failed to "plausibly transform this otherwise classic action for copyright infringement into one for breach of contract."

What allotment of RNG you ppl dont get? its consistently waah waah so and so kills no bead waaahh...
Its a fing accidental amount generator..might whanna google that and adeptness attending up allowance while you at it.
So like you been in absolute 4h dry? Runescape gold maybe 5? wtf do you want?
Just did ~40 Greg kills in a LS mass, one getting got a Acme of Sliske. No abstraction if he had a droprate benefit or if the droprate benefit even works with LS though.
Done a few kills of anniversary bang-up with a mate, but mainly dead furies with 25% boodle boost.
133 Kills -
2 zamorak aspect
2 brand of Nymora
1 pet anniversary (Nymora for me and Ava for my mate)
I don't anticipate that the bead access acquired from acceptability is a bead amount increase, but rather a bead abundance increase... There is no antecedent that states it as a droprate increase. This would charge some austere testing or a account from jagex. Aside from that 6 kills at Vindicta with no boodle atm.
It says in babble box it increases the bead amount of attenuate drops if you alleviate the next bank and has been accepted on cheep by Jmods.
Edit: Deg accepted access for shards, weapons, and crests. Shards as in the armor parts. Aswell Lootshare takes the into application the best acceptability for your accumulation so it is account application Lootshare if anyone has 100% acceptability and you don't.

The Old Man of Queensport
Hello all. This is the first of two new works I've recently completed. Let me know what you think. Cheers.
The Old Man of Queensport
Today the town of Queensport, to be found on the windswept coastline of north Norfolk, is a quaint and unassuming place that hosts a healthy stream of visitors in summer time. However, at the turn of the twentieth century it had an altogether darker reputation and was shunned by most right thinking folk. It was a place of moulding roofs and twisted spires where dank sea mists swept in and stayed overlong. Its roots were deep for there was evidence of Iron Age people and practices, especially of the ungodly rites by which men were fed mistletoe then buried in bogs, like the ones just west of the town. Moreover, beneath the site of the former abbey, wrecked during the dissolution, in a moss swathed cavern reachable only through a perilously narrow and steep tunnel could be found an ancient menhir. It was wrought from a stone not to be found for hundreds of miles and visited all that looked upon its surface a queer sensation, that of being spied upon or followed that would only diminish with the passage of days. So, Queensport was a place shrouded in fearful suggestion and ill-omen, but what of the people that lived there? All things considered, they were a welcoming and cheerful folk. Their ways may have seemed archaic to outsiders and they liked to keep their own company, but only an uncharitable observer could say that their character was mirrored in their dreadful town.
The same could not be said for one individual, though it was highly unlikely that anybody not of Queensport had ever heard of the Old Man. If he had a name, or if it was recorded anywhere, none knew of it or had ever spoken it. For generations it seemed the Old Man had been old, and since no one had ever exchanged a word with him or could recall a time when he was anything other than the Old Man, none could say exactly how old he really was. What was known for certain was that he occupied a dishevelled hovel on the edge of town, overlooking the North Sea, from which it seemed he never departed. Only children dared on by their peers ever got close enough to describe certain details. From such witnesses rumours had spread about a house crowded with antediluvian treasures: bowls, books, masks, materials, statuettes and a host of other out of place exotica. As for the Old Man himself, only one child admitted to having seen him. Feeling especially brave he had, at dead of night, crept up beneath a back window. There he had heard a muffled tone from within, a voice as though in conversation, but with only a single audible participant. Then the boy had been distracted by a glinting on the ground, something caught in the light of a harvest moon which leered from behind a bank of cloud. It was a little disk which, after a moments study, revealed itself to be a great golden coin of some antiquity. The boy gasped perceptibly at his discovery then froze. The sound of speech from within the house ceased and the night became frightfully still, except for the staccato rhythm of the little boys trembling heart. When nothing happened after what felt like an age he slowly got up and padded away, walking straight into the Old Man. The harvest moon illumined a dreadful face that was networked by scars, rendered cyclopean by an empty right socket and was weathered like a wind-scourged cliff face. The boy ran screaming into the night, only able to regale his fellows and folk with the terrible tale after the onset of daylight. As proof of his story the boy produced the gold coin. The parson, who had been trained at Westcott House, identified its provenance as Spanish, likely washed ashore from the sunken wreck of an Armada galleon. Soon all of Queensport was talking; exchanging rumour and gossip as country folk are want to do. But they reckoned that since the boy was not harmed and was, after all, trespassing, that they would leave the Old Man well alone.
This the natives resolved upon, but there was among their number that day an outsider. A recent arrival to these shores, travelling out of London, he had been drifting here and there in such of a living, for the attainment of which he would utilise all means available to him. The sight of the gold coin had inculcated a desire in him that could not be shaken. Could there be more? A whole hoard perhaps? And what about the other reputed treasures? All that stood between him and these rumoured riches was an old man holed-up in his derelict dwelling. The allure was too great and the outsider made his preparations, steeling out the next night with plunder his purpose. A great gale blew in from the sea which cast furious waves against the bluffs but the outsider was not deterred. He approached the hovel which he could see was dimly lit from within. Once he saw just how isolated the place was and how the storm had driven the townsfolk indoors he grew in boldness. In the end, it was only the old man in there. The outsider stalked to the front of the house and peered inside. The panes of glass were warped and grimy with age, but sure enough, he could see that the interior was a mess of unfathomable things with no living soul in sight. With a stiff shoulder to the mouldy door it gave way, the wind howling in through the aperture like a vanguard driving ahead of the invader. It swept up loose leafs of time stained parchment and throttled lighted candles that refused to go out. In stepped the outsider brazenly. Even in the wake of the sea-born squall, the atmosphere was stale, like the air imprisoned within an ancient tomb, pregnant with the promise of long dormant dread. Through piles of artefacts the outsider rummaged and pawed, mounds of treasure heaped up like the grave-goods of an ancient king. There were scrolls crawling with indecipherable characters, lofty tomes sealed with padlocks and multi-limbed statuettes painted in gaudy hues. The interloper pocketed a few small items then produced a sack he had brought along and set to work creaming off the most valuable looking objects. Many a curious volume of forgotten lore seemed merely quaint to the outsider who pushed great stacks of them over in his frenzied searching. They fell like the cyclopean pillars of a forgotten race, succumbing to the irresistible onslaught of entropy. Scores of pendants, bowls and stones were stuffed into the intruders sack after only a few minutes of grasping and groping. But gold, in coin, bullion or crafted form eluded him and a fire of ruinous need burned in his soul, driven on by the siren song of imminent and illimitable riches.
It was at that moment that the thing caught his eye, the thing which had seized the wits and sealed the doom of dozens of adventurers in its time. Amidst a drift of lesser things there glinted a gore red ruby. The outsider stretched forth his hand and clasped it. It was an idol of jade, wrought with sumptuous skill into the sinuous form of a serpent with heads at both extremities. In place of eyes there blazed rubies of astounding brilliance. In gaping maws teeth of pearlescent ivory gleamed with predatory promise. The quality of the idol smote his senses and numbed him to all extraneous considerations. If he had an eternity to consider its every characteristic he would have considered it too brief. However, an uncanny impression brought the outsider nearer to the surface of sensible consciousness. There it was again; a dim pulsating and a feint signature of heat emanating from the snake idol. A subtle movement, of contorting scales and delicate writhing caused the man to shriek in alarm. It was at that moment that the invader became aware of the presence of the Old Man. Except that in the dim light and through the lens of perception overawed by terror he was not old at all. This young mans face was a mask of sheer menace, twisted by a horrifying grimace that betrayed yellowing teeth, whilst a single eye burned with baleful purpose. It was a face that belonged to another age, an older time and a place far away. Alas for the outsider, it was the last face he ever saw.
The next day was bright and the late September winds had died down to a gentle yet still palpable autumn breeze. The folk of Queensport emerged from their houses cautiously. Could those inhuman cries they heard during the night have been the storm after all? When all appeared at first glance to be as it should, they steadily went about their business. About midmorning one of the citizens was taking a brisk walk along the shoreline when he saw what looked like a trunk of driftwood caught in a swell. On closer inspection it was a body. The police were called in and the corpse identified as that of the outsider by the family with whom he had been lodging in Queensport. They were initially held under suspicion of the murder until certain facts came to light. Principally, a closer inspection of the body revealed certain inscrutable details. Whilst the outsiders back had been broken by a fall, or push, down the cliff, this was determined by the pathologist not to have been the cause of death. That was attributed to two deep puncture wounds to the throat, made as if by fangs of some enormous beast. Suffice it to say, the case was never solved. Gradually the whole affair dimmed in the collective memory of Queensport, though the same could not be said for the individual recollection of those that had seen the victims face at close hand, frozen as it had been in a singularly contorted grimace of terror. As for the Old Man, no lights were ever witnessed burning at his hovel again. Reconnoitres by certain of the bold children reported that nobody was present and that the once easily perceptible mounds of trinkets and detritus within were plainly absent. In time, as the already dilapidated building crumpled into final oblivion, others struck up the courage to draw near and all concluded safely that the Old Man of Queensport was no more. Soon after, the unsavoury aura that had suffused the town began to dissipate, withdrawing into the shadows from whence it came. The bogs were drained and the ancient menhir was sealed off forever after a mudslide buried the entrance tunnel. Visitors began to trek the coastal paths and see the sights of an ancient and pleasant corner of the country. But one must be careful not to scratch too much at the surface of things that are strange and that you do not understand, for few can divine the doom to which you may become destined.

Legazpi City, Albay- Despite of the Tsunami alert brought about by the 8.8 killer earthquake in Chile yesterday, fisherfolk activists belonging to Lakas ng mga Maliliit na Mangingisda ng Bicol (Lambat-Bicol) staged on Sunday a 30-boat fluvial parade to demand the next elected president to pursue the repeal of the 12-year old Fisheries Code of 1998.
"While we consider the tsunami alert this morning and early afternoon, we still went on with our 30-boat fluvial protest against Fisheries Code of 1998. A potential tsunami will not stop us from delivering our political and electoral message today. We will strongly ask the next elected President of the Philippine Republic to certify as urgent the repeal of Fisheries Code of 1998. It is time to end this 12-year old running nightmare," said Salvador France, chair of Lambat-Bicol and the vice-chairperson of the left-leaning fisherfolk alliance Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya).
"The next President should also call on Congress to craft a new fisheries law that will uphold the collective rights of millions of fisherfolk and will protect the seas from big time exploiters and first-rate profiteers in the backward fishing industry. A tsunami of protest awaits the next President if he fails to correct an injustice known as Fisheries Code of 1998," added France.
The anti-Fisheries Code fluvial parade kicked off this morning and passed several coastal barangays of the towns of Bacacay, Pag-asa, Sto. Domingo and culminated in Legazpi City harbor in Albay province, with fisherfolk leaders and activists on board of fishing boats chanting "Fisheries Code of 1998, Ibasura!" (Junk Fisheries Code of 1998!) as they crossed coastal barangays on their way to the main wharf in the region's main capital.
France said the protest ended at 12:00 noon, or an hour earlier set by Philvocs on the possible effect of the killer earthquake in Chile to nations along the Pacific belt. Nineteen coastal provinces all over the country are facing the Pacific stretch where tidal waves are expected to occur. But early this evening, Philvocs cancelled the alert level it earlier raised.
Prior to the 30-boat fluvial parade in Bicol, anti-Fisheries Code protests were staged by Pamalakaya and its regional and provincial chapters this month. On Feb.9 and Feb.10, and Feb.23 lake fisherfolk in Laguna Lake staged caravans demanding for the immediate scrapping of the fisheries law.
On Feb.25, some 100 Pamalakaya members from Cebu, Bohol and Negros kicked off a swim protest in Mactan Channel in Cebu City to demand the immediate repeal of the 12-year old controversial fisheries law.
The law passed by Congress in 1998, three months before the 1998 presidential election was largely blamed by fisherfolk organizations all over the Philippines for the sorry state of local fisheries in the country.
France said the Fisheries Code of 1998 is more of a lip service rather than a legacy on empowerment for the 1.4 million small fisherfolk and 10 million of their direct dependents.
The activist fisherfolk leader noted that while the 12-year fisheries act recognized the preferential rights of small fishermen to use the 15-kilometer municipal fishing ground, it also allows commercial fishing vessels to penetrate municipal fishing areas by virtue of a provision that once a municipal fishing area is more than 7-fathoms deep, commercial fishing operators are allowed to come in and capture fish to the detriment of small fishermen.
France lamented Fisheries Code of 1998 also enhanced the privatization of communal fishing grounds and coastal communities through the controversial Fishpond Lease Agreement and Foreshore Lease Agreement (FLAs) where big business is allowed to transform fishing areas into fishpond and aquaculture ponds, put up eco-tourism projects and export-oriented undertakings.
He said the 12-year old fish law reduced scope of fishing areas due to imposition of restrictive measures such as color coding and zoning ordinances that prevent small fishermen from going to one municipal fishing town to another. On the other hand, the government courtesy of the Fisheries Code imposed burdensome taxes and fees on fishers' boats and gears, including multiple fees on simple violations of the code.
Lambat-Bicol and Pamalakaya said the 12-year old fisheries law merely transformed small fisherfolk into sidekicks of law enforcers. As members of Bantay Dagat, small fisherfolk are employed to watch and monitor their small fisherfolk colleagues suspected of engaging in dynamite and illegal fishing, while authorities let go the big fish engaged in bigger crimes against the fisherfolk and environment.
Pamalakaya said the repeal of the Fisheries Code of 1998 will be presented as an electoral agenda during the presidential forum billed Pamalakaya Fisherfolk Academy 2010 edition, which the group will call next month.
In 2004, Pamalakaya and Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) had a joint presidential forum which was attended by the late Fernando Poe Jr. In 2007, Pamalakaya called the first edition of the fisherfolk academy but only San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito, who was rumored to be running for senatorial election that time attended the fisherfolk forum.
Pamalakaya said invitations will be off this week and will be sent to Nacionalista Party (NP) standard bearer Sen. Manuel Villar, Liberal Party presidential bet Sen. Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III, Lakas-Kampi merger party bet Gilbert Teodoro, former President Joseph Estrada of Partido ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) and independent candidates Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Bangon Pilipinas Movement, Senator Richard Gordon, Olongapo councilor JC de los Reyes and environmentalist Nicanor Perlas. #

Tui Samoa Cable delayed
Samoa will have to wait a little longer to benefit from the promise of faster and cheaper internet.
That's because the Tui Samoa Cable will not go live until next month.
This was confirmed by Minister of Communication and Information Technology, Afamasaga Tico Tupa'i, in response to questions from the Samoa Observer on the status of the cable.
"The cable is delayed due to some unforeseen circumstances," he said.
What the circumstances are, the Minister did not say.
The Tui Samoa Cable was brought to its landing site in Moata'a last month.
The Samoa Submarine Cable Company Limited (S.S.C.C) and Alcatel Submarine Networks (A.S.N.) began the loading of the 1,470 km Tui-Samoa Cable in July 2017.
Afamasaga said the goal was to go live before Christmas.
But the plans have changed.
"We lost three weeks due to the availability of the berthing during the loading, bad weather, some technical problems on the vessel and the entry of the vessel in Wallis lagoon," he said.
"The final splice is now planned in Suva end of this week on the 24th.
"All equipment has been installed and once the final splice is in then it means the system is complete.
"Training and testing of the system will commence immediately after crew returns from holiday and if system is clear then it will be switched on immediately," explained the Minister.
Last month Afamasaga assured the public that prices for internet will be significantly cheaper.
According to the Minister of M.C.I.T. currently, the cable is being laid between Fatuna and Suva Fiji.
"The plan is to reach Fiji by the second week of December then the testing period starts with the intention to go live before Christmas.
"All this depends on the smooth operation of the cable-laying process currently in progress so let's hope it goes well."
Regarding cheap internet and what the public needs to expect, Afamasaga stated the price will be less than US$90 (T$216).
"Government and S.S.C.C. have been working to significantly reduce wholesale capacity prices from an estimated US$300 (T$771) Mbps to a price which will be less than US$90.
"It is intended that with affordable bandwidth pricing Samoans licensed telecommunications operators will be able to increase the value proposition for their retail customers.
"In short Samoans retail customers should see a significant increase in their data bundles," explained the Minister.

One of the coolest parts about living in northern Manhattan is that I live just steps away from The Armory, an historic building that houses a raised and banked 200 meter mondo track where local college programs train and race, where NCAA track stars are born, and where big meets like the Millrose Games attract pros from not just around the US, but also around the world.
Being a track spectating neophyte, I prepared by reading Catnip's guide to spectating, reading up on Allyson Felix and Molly Huddle and got super pumped when Shannon Rowbury announced she was going to try for a new American Record in the mile. These main events weren't happening until later in the day, but I got there before noon to make sure I was there to watch the open events too. It's lucky I did, because the highlight of my day came early, with the Women's Masters 4×400 relay.
I love relays – having a team means more people have skin in the game, which means they scream louder! But it's also exciting to watch a race change with each handoff. In this case the leading team in the 40+ division, Texas-based Southwest Sprinters, came in first with a truly impressive showing from their anchor. But it was the women in red and white from the We Are Athletes team who gave me chills. They came in 6th place overall in masters but took first in the 50+ division with 5:01:22. These women were so. pumped. and it was awesome!
I spoke to runners Mary Lenzi (leg 2) and Karen Conkling (anchor) about how they got to run in a big event like Millrose. "Anyone can do it," said Mary. "We've been doing little 4x4s at USATF meets [at Suffolk County Community College on Long Island, New York] and coach said we could go to Millrose." They kept working at their relay craft at these meets, practicing handoffs and strategy.
It struck me that it was so easy for them to make this happen and with road race participation at an all time high, it's surprising that more of us aren't taking to the track.
Is it the cost?
We've all seen the climbing cost of road racing in recent years (even the Olympic Trials Marathon charged athletes $30 for registration), so it seems like cost shouldn't be that much of an issue when it comes to indoor track, but for me it is the largest barrier. A few weeks ago after a blizzard blanketed my usual outdoor track, I decided to give the Armory a shot. I winced at the $15 one-time admission fee just to work out in the outside lane while college athletes whipped around the inside. Seasonal membership, which you might think should be more cost effective, is $300 for an individual.
I could simply sign up for races, the way the We Are Athetes squad did. If I put together a team for the 10k relay, we can race for $20 apiece. Call me cheap, but I feel like twenty bucks is a little high in dollars to miles. That being said, many colleges have track meets that allow open runners and charge much less than the average road race to participate.
Is it access?
I know it's unique that I'm so close to an awesome indoor track that's available to the public (even if that availability comes at a hefty price). Most people don't have that luxury; if they want to work out on an indoor track it most likely belongs to a college or university. Sometimes these facilities are open to the public with a membership or during certain hours, sometimes not. No matter how you slice it, most of us have to be highly motivated to access an indoor track to run on one. Maybe since most indoor tracks are out of our sights, they're out of our minds?
If you can get access to a track, it's much more likely that you'll find one outdoors, which can be great for fresh air and for not losing count of laps on your way to a mile. But training on a 400m track and switching to race on a 300m or 200m track can be a challenge, physically and mentally and also, outdoor track season usually corresponds with spring road race season, races for which the barriers to entry are much lower.
Is it speed?
Or maybe we are thinking about it, but our thoughts are simply tuned to running long, not running fast, because that's where we place the value in running. Think about what it felt like the first time you ran three miles the whole way without walking or stopping. Then it was time to try a 10k. Got that down? Go for a half! Soon enough, you've conquered a marathon and anything less than 10 feels like a breeze. So what the heck kind of good does it do to haul ass for 200 meters, especially when you might come in dead last out of a small field?
I think that latter is certainly an issue, at least it is for me. I'd love to enter the mile at the next NYRR Night at the Races, but when faced with signing up I had visions of my last track workout, and the panic set in that I might be the only one who couldn't break 7 minutes. I'm struggling to be brave and just go for it, because trying new stuff, especially scary stuff, is one of the best parts of running.
But here's the thing, even the best track stars come up short. Shannon Rowbury didn't beat the American record on Saturday, she came up 4 seconds behind. And Molly Huddle, queen of the road 5k, wound up coming in second. And Kadecia Baird took a spill and wound up with a DNF (and possibly an injury) during the 400. In racing, shit happens, even to the best of us. Sometimes, like the We Are Athletes team, you have a great day and you come in first even when you didn't think you had. And sometimes you come up 4 seconds short.
The best part is that the indoor track season is young. There are more races to come.
Are you a track star? If not, what's stopping you?

Tawny beads weighed down the edges of the tunic.
Pausania's attire was usually a compromise between fashionable and comfortable. Her blouse complemented her auburn hair, falling in thick, luxuriant waves over her shoulders.
Those russet tresses were coarser than they looked. They still yielded to brushes, combs, or my worshipful fingers. Tiny strands of copper mingled with the auburn locks, giving her head a halo's gleam.

Amazing races are woven into this track's history. Roger DeCoster and Bob Hannah waged one of the last great battles of the old Trans-AMA Series here in the late 1970s, and Hannah went on to be the fastest and unluckiest rider at this track. The fans loved him and he loved them back, but he never actually won for them until Johnny O'Mara famously ran out of gas while leading the 1986 USGP. The next year, the track hosted the Motocross des Nations, an epic mudder Team USA still managed to win despite having three Californians on the team. After that race, most people said you'd never see a des Nations in the U.S. again. And after that race, it seemed like Unadilla's rep began to fade a bit.
Unadilla has a long history in American Motocross.

There was a certain magic to Unadilla's soil, but some of that magic washed away—literally—in that crazy mud in 1987. You've heard promoters say it before. When you host a mud race, the best dirt on the track ends up leaving on the bottom of the bikes that raced on it. Plus, Unadilla needed to adjust to the business of the day. USGPs were no longer as big of a deal as they once were, so in 1989 the track started hosting AMA Nationals and GPs in the same year, and the extra wear and tear hurt the surface as well. And that magical, loamy surface? There was indeed a magic trick to it. Track owner Ward Robinson would actually mix in manure from a local farm to help richen the soil. I've heard stories that the farm went away, and so did the magic ingredient.
Hannah raced his final race here in 1989. He no longer liked the track. Ironically, for a place that was once built on manure, he said, "The track was crap." Crap? This was the best track in the world!
By the late 1990s, the track was also hosting amateur races. The economics of the day dictated this—other tracks were upgrading their facilities on the dollars they made from hosting local races all year long. Unadilla couldn't live off of a massive USGP crowd any longer and, overall, the sport was evolving and the simple life of the 1970s had long passed. They eventually created a second Unadilla track for amateurs, dubbed U2, but I remember reading Cycle News' coverage of the 1999 AMA National here, and it said, "A lot of the riders are saying the track has transformed into a hard, slippery, rocky layout."
Hard? Slippery? Not Unadilla!
What was strange is that the track looked the same. It's kind of like how some ballplayers fade over time, but it's hard for fans to understand that because the guy looks the same as he did in his prime. And you can study the way Unadilla looked then and now, because this may be the most well-covered track in the country. When the breakthrough MotoWorld show hit cable TV in the early 1980s, they covered Unadilla's USGP each year with a 30-minute show. That race and the Carlsbad 500 USGP were the only motocross races on TV in the U.S. Do some YouTube work and you'll find that classic 1986 Hannah versus O'Mara battle. Good luck finding a broadcast from 25 years ago of any other track on today's AMA Pro Motocross circuit.

For fans, it probably took a little longer to realize that Unadilla had lost its luster. I know it did for me—the '87 MXdN was the first big race I had ever attended, so I always wanted to believe Unadilla was the best place on earth, even when riders were saying that was no longer the case. It peaked in 2006, when Ricky Carmichael unloaded on the place in a post-race press conference, saying he could not wait until 2007, when he would skip the event. Indeed, the '07 Unadilla race was the first race Carmichael skipped during his part-time MX season.
Lately, though, the Dilla has begun to make a comeback. The Robinson family has worked to create better revenue through other events here—a qualifier for Loretta's, more local events, a GNCC (which draws a massive crowd), and an ATV Motocross event. Yes, those events probably do create more wear and tear on the track, but it doesn't matter anymore because the good dirt had long since washed away. Now it's all in the valleys around the track, and now, because the track has a bigger budget, they're able to bring in equipment to dig it out and dump it back on the track. Yes, it's easy to say a track should reinvest more money back into the facility, but it's hard for a track to have any money to reinvest when they're held to the old "one race a year" standard. No other track on the National tour works that way, either. Think about it.
In practice on Saturday this year, the track looked like it had gardening soil on it. Not sand, not rice hulls, not sawdust or wood chips. But straight-up potted-plant soil. It was rich, black loam, just like the old days. That's because it literally was the old dirt, trucked back out of the woods and valleys and dumped back onto the course. The track also sprouted two new towers, one for the scoring team and team managers and another for the announcers. It's clear that this place is rebuilding, and a track that once seemed to be on its way out seems to be back on the way up. That's awesome.
As for the racing, dang it if Dean Wilson and Ryan Villopoto didn't go out and threaten to ruin these close championship fights. Credit where it's due, these two rode awesome and earned the wins. They didn't get holeshots, they just raged through the pack early. Second-place rider Dungey mentioned how he didn't get good starts in either moto, and by the time he got to second, Villopoto was gone. But guess what? He started in front of Villopoto in both motos! In moto one, RV passed him halfway through the first lap in when Dunge made a rare off-track excursion. In moto two, he passed him in the third turn around the outside heading toward Gravity Cavity. Then Villopoto passed Brayton, Weimer, Barcia, and Alessi in short order. Villopoto's aggression in the early laps this year has been his best weapon, he's the only guy willing to go balls to the wall on the first lap of a moto on a fresh track. Well, pretty much the only guy. Chad Reed made a point to try to match that in the second moto at Millville and actually succeeded, until his wild crash. D'oh! More on that in a second.
Villopoto celebrates his overall at Unadilla.

Anyway, early-race speed hasn't been an issue for Villopoto this year. But he's had trouble closing the deal. Dungey ran him down late at Millville and Washougal, and up came the "Aldon Baker made Villopoto too skinny" talk again. Yup, the man who guided Ricky Carmichael to seven straight AMA Motocross titles in the big-bike class has no clue how to keep his rider strong throughout a season. I mean, you can see Villopoto is weak by the way he won the supercross title against the most stacked competition ever. He sucks!
(In case you hadn't noticed, I was being sarcastic, Marge).
Turns out the bike was leading to some of RV's second-moto issues. The rougher the track, the more he struggled. The tracks are rougher in the second motos, and that's where he has struggled. Now he's on the 2012 KX450F, and he commented after Unadilla that his body felt a lot better late in the race than it did on the 2011, which had a harshness that they couldn't remove with mere suspension changes. The 2012's new frame did the trick, and now RV has turned the tables back on Dungey.
Don't fret, Dunge fans. At the 11-minute mark of the moto, Dungey was all over Justin Barcia trying to make the pass for second, and at that point Villopoto had a six-second lead. Dungey nearly made the move when Barcia made a mistake, but Dungey bobbled at the exact same time and lost his chance. It took another ten minutes to regroup and go after him again. By then, they were down 11 seconds to RV. Dungey still couldn't make the move, as Barcia was putting his bike wherever Dungey wanted to go. I'm not taking anything away from Barcia. He stayed in front of Dungey 90 percent by being fast enough, and then 10 percent by protecting his line if he made a mistake. That's what motocross is all about!
They both started reeling Villopoto in late. Sure, Villopoto was struggling with traffic and backed it down with a lead, but another mistake or two and Barcia and Dungey would have been right back on him. Or if Dungey had not bobbled at the 11-minute mark and cleared Barcia, he may have been able to make a race of it. I at least want to believe we've got some more great battles ahead.
Barcia made life difficult for Ryan Dungey at Unadilla.

So now we go back to Dungey's Achilles' heel this year: he struggles to make passes at times. But we also get to see his justification for maybe not being ultra aggressive. When he finally did go for the pass on Barcia, on the final lap of moto two, Barcia got out of shape and nearly ended the day for both. Dungey must have been worried about running it in on the kid.
You also saw some uncharacteristic mistakes from Dungey. I believe he wasn't quite on his game this time and will be back going for the W the next time out.
As for Barcia, wow! I had a feeling his riding style would work well on the 450. He rides the 250 too hard and could do well on a bigger bike that would smooth him out. But, at best, I thought he could maybe finish with that second pack of guys, like Metcalfe and Alessi. I never thought he would come within a lap of beating Dungey!
Can he keep it up? Barcia rides really well at Southwick. Look out.
Barcia also beat Chad Reed on this day. But clearly, this is not the same Chad Reed post-Millville. I'm guessing that if you've made a career out of avoiding the huge crash and scary moment, having a huge crash and scary moment, well, scares you. Chad has always had trouble willing himself to go over the edge, and now after the big Millville crash, he may be back there. Still, there's plenty of racing left this year, and all you have to do is look at Christophe Pourcel in the 250 class in '09 and '10 to know that anything can happen, and Chad can get back in this.
Jake Weimer was also much better on this day with the new bike. He and Metcalfe hooked it up, literally at one point. I think that's about the seventieth time those two have been in a battle this year.
Poor Mike Alessi got no love because he once again finished fourth. On our TV coverage, we focused on the Barcia/Dungey battle and the Weimer/Metcalfe/Reed/Brayton duel for fifth. That left Mike all alone in the middle without any coverage. Been that kind of a year for Mike. And by the way, I predicted after High Point that he would get 14 good starts in the final 18 motos of the year. I think he's had three since then. Shows what I know.
As for the 250s, this race makes you wonder how Wilson didn't win earlier. He's had all the ingredients needed to get one of these, it just hasn't happened. I don't even think he should have been frustrated with not winning, because he was handling the points situation better than anyone, and at the end of the year, if you're champ, who cares how many wins you have? Plus, it's not like he lucked into this. In 2003, Grant Langston won the 125 National Championship without winning a single overall, partially because when James Stewart showed up at the fourth round of the series, he obliterated the field in every single moto. Langston won the title, but there was no doubt Stewart was the best rider. This is not the case for Wilson, he can run with anyone.
Are Reed's championship hopes over?
Photo: Andrew Fredrickson
I ran into Dean and his mom at the airport on Sunday morning and we talked about his rivalry with Barcia. Apparently there's nothing personal there, they don't even talk to each other, and they've never had an argument or anything. They just seem to find each other on the track. And Dean was actually pumped that Barcia rode so well, because it makes the whole 250 class look that much better. Good point! And when will we see Dean ride a 450 for the first time? At the Monster Energy Cup. Barcia will do the same. This could be good.
As a final note on the re-found beauty of Unadilla, I made an excursion over to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Friday night with a few people from the TV crew. Did you know Cooperstown is only about 20 minutes from the track? Did you know Cooperstown hosts not only the Hall, but also one of the neatest-looking downtowns in the country? It's worth checking out, and my apologies for all the times I said Unadilla was out in the middle of nowhere. If you're looking for the perfect getaway during the dog days of summer, a trip to upstate New York, with 'Dilla and Cooperstown, is it. Cooperstown is the birthplace of baseball in the U.S., and it's still relevant to the national pastime. In many ways, Unadilla is the same thing to American Motocross.


text: If you make mistakes with respect to your plan, you may use the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS) to remedy your mistakes and avoid the consequences of plan disqualification (or the consequences of disqualification of the 403(b) annuity contracts or custodial accounts of employees in the case of a 403(b) plan). A correction for a mistake should be reasonable and appropriate. The correction method should resemble one already provided for in the Internal Revenue Code and you should consider all facts and circumstances. Revenue Procedure 2019-19 is the guidance governing the EPCRS program. There are three ways to correct mistakes under EPCRS: Self-Correction Program (SCP) - permits a plan sponsor to correct certain plan failures without contacting the IRS or paying any fee. Voluntary Correction Program (VCP) - permits a plan sponsor to, any time before audit, pay a fee and receive IRS approval for correction of plan failures. Audit Closing Agreement Program (Audit CAP) - permits a plan sponsor to pay a sanction and correct a plan failure while the plan is under audit. A general description of each program under EPCRS is provided below.Self-Correction Program: To be eligible for SCP, the plan sponsor or administrator must have established practices and procedures (formal or informal) reasonably designed to promote and facilitate overall compliance with the law. A plan document alone does not constitute evidence of established procedures. SCP is available to correct: Operational problems - the failure to follow the terms of your plan. Revenue Procedure 2019-19, Section 8 describes the factors to consider when determining whether operational failures are insignificant. The plan sponsor should follow general correction principles in Revenue Procedure 2019-19, Section 6. Note that some operational failures can be corrected under SCP via retroactive plan amendments to conform the written plan to the plan's operation if certain conditions are met. See Rev. Proc. 2019-19, section 4.05 and Appendix B section 2.07. Certain problems with the plan document, associated with qualified plans under IRC 401(a) and IRC 403(b), such as the failure to keep it current to reflect changes in the law if its discovered and corrected in a timely manner. See Rev. Proc. 2019-19, Sections 4.01, 4.05, 5.01, 5.02 and 9.02. Problems with participant loans—defaulted loans that were not paid back in a timely manner, or where a participant received more loans than what was permitted by the plan's written terms/loan policy or where spousal consent was not obtained as required by the plan's written terms. See Rev. Proc. 2019-19, Sections 4.05, 6.07 and Appendix B 2.07. For 403(b) operational failures that occurred in 2008 and earlier years, you must follow the definition of an operational failure in Revenue Procedure 2008-50 Section 5.02. SCP is not available for other types of problems, such as the failure to adopt a written plan or to keep your written program current to reflect law changes. Nor is SCP available if you determined that your organization is ineligible to maintain a 403(b) plan. 403(b) plan sponsors should follow the general correction principles in Revenue Procedure 2019-19 for 2009 and subsequent years and 2008-50 for 2008 (and earlier) plan years. The plan sponsor should follow the general correction principles in Revenue Procedure 2019-19, Section 6. A plan sponsor that corrects a mistake listed in Appendix A or Appendix B of Revenue Procedure 2019-19 according to the correction methods listed may be certain that their correction is reasonable and appropriate for the failure. If needed, the plan sponsor should make changes to its administrative procedures to ensure that the mistakes do not recur. A qualified plan sponsor (not including a SEP or SIMPLE IRA plan sponsor) may correct significant operational failures within two years of the end of the plan year in which the operational failures occurred. The SCP may be used if, considering all of the facts and circumstances, the mistakes, in the aggregate, are insignificant operational failures. When using SCP, the plan sponsor should maintain adequate records to demonstrate correction in the event of an audit of the plan. There is no fee for self-correction. Voluntary Correction Program: The plan sponsor makes a submission to the IRS via www.pay.gov that: includes completed Form 8950 PDF, identifies the mistakes, proposes corrections using the general correction principles in Revenue Procedure 2019-19, section 6, proposes changes to its administrative procedures to ensure that the mistakes do not recur, pays a user fee, and may include Form 14568 PDF, Model VCP Compliance Statement, and Forms 14568-A through 14568-I (Schedules). The IRS issues a Compliance Statement detailing mistakes identified by the plan sponsor and the correction methods approved by the IRS. The plan sponsor corrects the identified mistakes within 150 days of the issuance of the Compliance Statement. While the IRS is processing the submission, Employee Plans will not audit the plan, except under unusual circumstances. Audit Closing Agreement Program: The plan sponsor or plan is under audit. The plan sponsor: enters into a Closing Agreement with the IRS. makes correction prior to entering into the Closing Agreement. pays a sanction negotiated with the IRS. It will not be excessive and will bear a reasonable relationship to the nature, extent, and severity of the failures. The sanction is determined based on facts and circumstances, including the following relevant factors The presence of internal controls designed to ensure that the plan had no failures or that such failures were identified and corrected in a timely manner; Number of affected employees; Impact on non-highly compensated employees; whether it's a demographic failure or an employer eligibility failure; Length of time failure occurred; The reason for the failure; The Maximum Payment Amount as defined in sections 5.01, 5.02 of Rev. Proc. 2019-19; See Rev. Proc. 2019-19, section 14 for additional details and factors The sanction paid under Audit CAP should be not be less than the fee paid under VCP. 401(k) Plan Fix-It GuideSEP Fix-It GuideSIMPLE IRA Plan Fix-It GuideSARSEP Fix-It Guide403(b) Plan Fix-It GuideIRA-Based Plans Additional Resources IRS.gov / Retirement Plans / Correcting Plan Errors / SEP Fix-It Guide/ EPCRS Overview

Facebook allows page owners to add admins who are not connected as friends
Facebook announced Friday changes to the page admin flow. Previously, a page owner could only promote a user to an admin role if the owner was directly connected to the user as a friend. Now, page admins can add another admin, so long as they have that person's email address.
After the page owner (or another previously-approved admin) does this, Facebook will notify the new admin on the right side of News Feed and an email, depending on that user's notifications settings.
Facebook commented on this change in a post on the Facebook + Journalists page:
Making it easier to add admins to a Facebook Page: We recently improved the flow to add new admins to your Page. In addition to adding Facebook friends, you can also invite people who are not your Facebook friend with their email address. The new admin will be able to accept or reject the admin assignment by clicking on the request on their home page or on https://www.facebook.com/pages.
Readers: Do you like this change?
