The German was, however, pleased with the performance level as Liverpool edged closer to their first Premier League title in 30 years.
Liverpool need five more points from eight games to claim the trophy, and if Manchester City lose to Burnley on Monday night they could still do so at Anfield on Wednesday when they play Crystal Palace.
“After four weeks of training sessions I was happy with the performance level,” Klopp said.
“Today was an important game. Physically we were ready for the game. Defensively we were there. I liked us offensively but you need chances and rhythm, that’s something we didn’t have, that didn’t happen. I know we can play better but the performance level was OK.”
Everton’s Tom Davies came closest to scoring when he hit the post in the second half. Asked about inching closer to the title, Klopp replied: “We don’t count like this all the time. Today I think the point is one we deserved, even if Everton had biggest chance to win the game. That was our biggest problem: we didn’t create as many chances.”
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti wants his players to push on after becoming only the third team to stop Liverpool winning in the league this season.
“The period before we played strong teams and didn’t win, now it’s time to win and try to climb the tables,” Ancelotti said.
“When we’re focused, we are a good team, we can compete.”

Back in April The Sporting News decided to dig into the past and expose some not-so-flattering stories about Percy Harvin, Urban Meyer, and the Florida program in general. Their findings illuminated Harvin as an entitled young man with a short temper.
At the time, the piece had the feel of a hit job of sorts, and many questioned the odd timing of this information coming out.
With a recent report from 1500 ESPN describing yet another confrontation between the uber-talented receiver and his current coach, Harvin’s status as a Viking is yet again being called into question.
Reports of the past have included throwing a college coach on the ground and putting hands around his neck, testing positive for marijuana prior to the NFL Scouting Combine, throwing a weight at former head coach Brad Childress, and requesting a trade prior to this season before performing a sudden about-face. That list would be enough to call any player unreliable, and we haven’t even started talking about his long list of injury and health issues.
Some Vikings fans are going to want to bury memories of Randy Moss departing Minnesota (twice) in their subconscious and assume the Vikings will “pay the man” and that Harvin will get a deal that makes him a Viking for life.
The phrase “where there is smoke there is fire” comes to mind, however. And the player that has earned the nickname “Cheech” in this corner of the internet seems to always be surrounded by plenty of smoke.
Still, lots of options exist for how this could play out and I want to take a second to look at each one (and there could be more) in great detail.
Pay The Man
The Vikings may never be certain that they have made Harvin permanently happy in Minnesota, but they can always try and then hope for the best, and the best way to do that is by getting out the checkbook.
Entering the final year of his rookie deal Harvin is set to make a paltry $1.55 million in 2013. Considering the impact he can have on a football game, and his particular need for long term financial security as an injury prone player, it isn’t surprising that Harvin would be willing to go to battle against the Vikings front office in an effort to get guaranteed money.
The question facing the Vikings will be just how much money they are willing to pay their 24 year old game changer. Agent Joel Segal has been known to milk team’s for all they are worth in regards to his top clients. Evidence in this can be found in the contracts for Michael Vick (6 years, $100 million), Chris Johnson (6 year, $55 million), and DeAngelo Hall (6 year, $55 million).
More specifically, Segal raided plenty of coffers with receivers of lesser talent than Harvin which include Josh Morgan (2 years, $11.5 million), Marques Colston (5 years, $36.3 million), and Pierre Garcon (5 years, $42.5 million). Each of these contracts came with considerable, to say the least, guarantees.
He’s been at it for a long time, too, and in 1999 he made Antonio Freeman the highest paid receiver in NFL history with a seven year deal worth $42 million.
I suspect Harvin, on a five year deal, would demand somewhere in the neighborhood of $55 million with about $25 million guaranteed. That is a hefty price indeed, but one the Vikings might have to pay if they don’t want to reduce their receiver group down to absolutely nothing, a possibility that both Harvin and his agent are well aware of.
The thing to keep in mind about taking on that big of a cap hit for Harvin is that there really is no team in the NFL that can, or does, pay two big money receivers. With the Vikings obviously needing help at the position, a blockbuster contract for Harvin would be quite the commitment to him and an acceptance that any other real help is going to have to come in the NFL Draft or in the form of low-cost free agent fliers.

THE MUM of Rhys Jones' killer sold sex as a £50-a-time prostitute during her son's murder trial, a Sun investigation at the time revealed.
Janette Mercer offered her services under the name "Danielle" while evidence piled up against her son Sean Mercer, who was jailed for gunning down the 11-year-old in 2007.
The then 49-year-old sold sex on at least two occasions during her son's 10-week hearing at Liverpool Crown Court, back in 2008.
Midway through the trial in November that year, a Sun investigator visited a seedy vice den, called Elegant Ladies, where Janette had been seen entering hours earlier.
MOST READ IN NEWS
Our man was led to a room with a single bed covered with a towel and Janette entered wearing a low-cut top, leather mini-skirt, black suspenders and leather boots.
Asked what she offered, she said: "It's £50 darling, £50 all in."
Our investigator handed over the money and Janette asked: "What do you want me to do?"
As he made his excuses and went to leave, she scowled: "You don't do that come in and pay 50 quid and wanna go." Our man then left.
Janette did not see her son sentenced in December 2008, but was later one of several other people jailed after being found guilty of helping him cover up his crime.
She got three years in prison for hiding her gunman son, telling cops a "pack of lies" to protect him from the law.
Janette lied for over a year about the getaway bike used by her son after he shot dead the 11-yearold schoolboy.
Jailing her in 2009, Judge Globe QC said: “You backed up your son and told more lies.”
The sex worker cut a shambolic figure in court – laughing one minute before breaking down in tears the next – while Rhys’s parents Stephen and Melanie Jones remained calm and dignified.
Janette was released from jail in 2012.
Ahead of the ITV drama Little Boy Blue, which retells the shocking murder of the young Everton fan, Janette was pictured taking her dog to a PDSA Hospital close to her home in Liverpool.
Last week she was seen outside her home in a long checked top and leopard print leggings.
Her son remains in jail where he will serve at least 22 years for killing Rhys.
The sports mad youngster was heading home alone after football practice at 7.30pm in broad daylight when a hooded youth cycled by and fired three shots from a handgun.
One struck Rhys in the back and his distraught mum rushed to the scene when she heard what had happened.
Paramedics tried for over an hour-and-a-half to save Rhys, but he was later pronounced dead at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in August 2007.
After months of investigations and arrests, 18-year-old Sean Mercer – a member of the Croxteth Crew gang – was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.
It recently emerged Mercer, now 26, is “frantic” to be moved to a cushier prison because he can’t hack it in his tough, high-security jail.
He's also voiced concerns that the new ITV drama will make him a “celeb target” in his tough high-security jail.

According to a recent Dallas Morning News report, an activist investor has purchased shares of Tuesday Morning, which may lead to a potential bid for the off-price retailer.
The report said that Delta Value Group Investment Partnership, a firm controlled by investor Kenneth Traub, spent $5.88 million to purchase 8% of the company’s shares. Delta Value said it intends to have “cooperative and constructive discussions” with the company and said those discussions could include the acquisition of all Tuesday Morning shares, according to the report.
In the report, Tuesday Morning’s board said it’s “committed to acting in the best interest of all of the company’s stockholders.” The company added that it “values constructive input from investors and will continue to engage with its stockholders and evaluate opportunities to increase long-term stockholder value.”
In Tuesday Morning’s recent second quarter, net sales were $324.4 million, compared to $338.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Comparable store sales decreased 3% compared to the same period a year ago.
Regarding its fiscal year 2020 outlook, Steve Becker, CEO, Tuesday Morning, said, “We continue to experience positive transaction growth entering the spring season. We are undergoing transformational changes led by our new merchant leadership, involving the entire merchant organization, buying processes and assortment, all of which will enable us to operate as a true off-pricer and will drive our success going forward.”

In this post, Blog Editor Amanda Lyons and Alanna Patrick, director of Paper Archives, take a look at the history of the Piney Woods School.
In 1955, Lawrence Clifton Jones, founder of The Piney Woods School, was honored with a special state celebration in Mississippi during which Governor Hugh White declared him “Mississippi’s First Citizen.” Jones continued to serve as president of Piney Woods until his retirement in 1974. In 1981, he became the first African American to be admitted to the Mississippi Hall of Fame.
The Piney Woods School, Rankin County, was founded in 1909 by Laurence Clifton Jones with the purpose of providing the rural African American community with academic, moral, and practical training in agricultural and industrial trades. Jones began teaching informally under a cedar tree in the fall of 1909. Within three months, he had twenty-nine students. By the start of school in the autumn of 1910, Piney Woods had five teachers and a student body of one hundred that included adults as well as children.
At first, the faculty taught adults and children together; there was no organized class system. By 1918, the school was divided into grades, including an elementary school. From 1923 through the early 1950s, the elementary students were taught at the Rosenwald Elementary School on the Piney Woods campus. The elementary school was discontinued in the early 1980s, revived with a pre-kindergarten program and discontinued again in 1995.
Piney Woods grew during the early twentieth century through a combination of self-sufficiency, private contributions, and effective public relations. The students and faculty built the first buildings at Piney Woods, quarrying limestone and making bricks. The family of George W. Dulaney of Iowa contributed funds for the construction of a girls’ dormitory. The building, completed in 1921, was named Dulaney Hall in honor of the family.
Under Jones, who stressed the dignity of labor, Piney Woods focused on academic subjects that could be applied practically to agriculture and the mastery of two or three trades. Girls as well as boys were taught practical skills. Grace Morris Allen Jones (wife of Laurence C. Jones) taught English and handicrafts, such as sewing and weaving, at the school. Jones also organized activities for women in the community, including a Mother’s Club, which taught the women of the area housekeeping methods, sewing, childcare, and nutritional practices.

Ali Sayad Shirazi (13 June 1944 – 10 April 1999) (Persian: علی صياد شیرازی) was chief-of-staff of the Iranian Armed Forces during the eight-year Iran–Iraq war. He was assassinated in 1999 by the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK). Prior to that, he had a central role in suppressing the armed rebellion in Kordestan province in 1979.
Shirazi was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Artillery and in 1974, he was sent to the United States for further military education. When he returned to Iran he showed opposition to the policies of the Pahlavi government and participated in some street demonstrations. He then joined the opposition movement against the Shah. During the 1979 revolution, he served in the 64th Infantry Division in Urumiyeh. He was later awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the Iranian armed forces.
During the Iran–Iraq War Sayad Shirazi became one of the most important generals of Iran. In 1981, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini appointed him commander of the Ground Forces of the Iranian Army. In 1982, he led the Iranian Pasdaran and Basij soldiers to victory in the Iranian Operation Undeniable Victory, this was the first time Iran was able to defeat Iraq in a major battle, Iran broke through Iraq's "impenetrable" defense lines and expelled them from the Dezful-Shush area, this operation is considered by many as the turning point in the war. During Iran's attempt to capture Basra with Operation Ramadan Shirazi was said: We will continue the war until Saddam Hussein is overthrown so that we can pray at Karbala and Jerusalem.
In 1988, the People's Mujahedin of Iran with help of Saddam Hussein attacked West-Iran and battled Iranian forces for Kermanshah. Iran smashed them with their counter offensive: Operation Mersad, which was led by Shirazi. He also led other successful military operations against Iraq, such as, Operation Zafar 7; and Operation Nasr-4. In 1989, Shirazi was awarded the highest military distinction in the Iranian armed forces, the Fath (Conquest) medal.
A clash and disagreement over strategy to be adopted in the Iran-Iraq war emerged between Shirazi and Mohsen Rezaee, commander of the Revolutionary Guards, in July 1986. When this rivalry became public, Ayatollah Khomeini met them in his residence on 19 July 1986 and urged them to "seek unity", telling them "You must endeavor, not to think in terms of being members of the Armed Forces or those of the Guards Corps or of the Basij forces. ... We must understand that if there were to be any disputes among you ... not only are we doomed here and now, but we also are guilty before God."
On 10 April 1999, 6:45 local time, Shirazi was assassinated outside his house while on his way to work. The terrorist group Mujahadeen-e-Khalgh (MEK), claimed responsibility. The MEK claimed the act was revenge for Operation Mersad. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a message on Shirazi's martyrdom.
Iranian ex-President Khatami described him as "a selfless commander of Islam and honorable son of Iran."
Hundreds of thousands of people attended his official state funeral following his murder at the hands of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq. Shirazi has had several streets, buildings and hotels named after him, including the Sayad Shirazi Hotel, a 5-star hotel in Mashhad. and the Sayad Shirazi Highway in Tehran.

Oerlikon Manmade Fibers segment sets a trend with three Customer Days in India
Technology transfer that is creating waves
For more than a decade now, the Manmade Fibers segment of the Swiss Oerlikon Group has been hosting a comprehensive technology symposium at the beginning of each year in the Indian region around Silvassa/Daman. Numerous Indian manmade fiber producers have settled in this area, around a four-hour drive north of Mumbai. Fed from Oerlikon polycondensation and extrusion systems, these companies manufacture polyester, nylon and polypropylene on large-scale installations with Oerlikon Barmag WINGS POY, WINGS FDY, IDY and DTY product lines and using Oerlikon Neumag’s staple fiber and BCF technologies. Reason enough for the Manmade Fibers segment’s experts to regularly provide their clientèle with detailed specialist presentations in India on the latest developments of the product and service portfolio.
And this was once again the case at the event held at the beginning of 2020, where around 450 managers and employees from local businesses took the opportunity to exchange ideas and information. For the third time in succession, Oerlikon also entered into dialog with the next generation of managers at major Indian polyester and nylon manufacturers in a separate event hosted in Mumbai beforehand. The technology symposium was again held – for the very first time – just a few days later and in a slightly modified form at a second venue: in Kolkata in West Bengal, a potential second future key location for manufacturing manmade fibers in India according to plans revealed by the Indian government. Here, the discussions held by the Oerlikon experts focused above all on the transfer of technologies for manufacturing polyester, nylon and polypropylene. Oerlikon is able to offer the entire process chain – from the melt to the textured yarn or the fibers and including the necessary semi- and fullyautomated logistics process – from a single source. This is of interest above all for potential new customers and investors in West Bengal and neighboring Bangladesh, as some do not have decades of expertise in manufacturing manmade fibers, as is the case for most companies in the region around Silvassa/Daman.


Farm Fresh Atlas makes it easy to find locally grown food
You've heard that eating food grown close to home is good for the environment, family farms, our local economy and your health. But putting local food on your plate can be a challenge if you don't know where to buy it.
No problem. Whether you want to stock your pantry or dine out, the 2007 Southern Wisconsin Farm Fresh Atlas makes it easy to buy and eat locally grown food. This free 40-page booklet lists more than 150 farms, farmers' markets and food-related businesses that sell a variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, eggs and other products.
All farms, businesses and organizations listed in the atlas have pledged to protect land and water resources, treat animals with care and respect, and provide safe working conditions for their employees.
The 2007 Southern Wisconsin Farm Fresh Atlas will be available starting Saturday, April 21, at the Dane County Farmers' Market and other area farmers' markets, libraries and dozens of stores and businesses.
"The atlas is a big resource for people to connect with a local farm," says Kristen Kordet of Blue Moon Community Farm in Dane County, one of dozens of farms listed. Blue Moon has a 50-member community-shared agriculture program and sells 40 kinds of vegetables at the Westside Community Farmers' Market in Madison.
In addition to listing local growers, the atlas includes area markets that carry products from those farms. "It gets the word out about small farmers and small businesses that are not the big box," adds Rosie Zimmer, owner of Local Choice Farm Market in Spring Green.
Regional editions of the atlas are available for western, eastern, central and southeastern Wisconsin. For more information, visit the atlas Web site. Another site that can point you to farms across the state is http://SavorWisconsin.com.
The 2007 Southern Wisconsin Farm Fresh Atlas is a collaborative project of the REAP Food Group, the Dane County Farmers' Market, the UW–Madison Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems and the Friends of the Dane County Farmers' Market. It is underwritten by Heartland Credit Union, with major financial support provided by local businesses and organizations.

This is somewhat of a continuation on my previous article, talking about the cambered iron in my old Bailey No.3.
Well, I got back to work on the 8/4 Pecan, and I’m still resolving some slight twists in the board. I’d resharpened my No.3’s iron last night, just before calling it quits, so I was able to just get right to it. After planing for a couple of minutes, I could tell the iron was again ready for the water stones. Before taking the iron out of the No.3, I got side-tracked by something shiny! No, really, it was something very shiny. I keep a couple of backup iron close to my workbench, and I noticed one I’d bought within the last 5 – 6 years. It is one of the High Speed Steel (HSS) versions made by Paul Williams in Australia. I’d originally purchased it as a replacement for an old Stanley No.6, but it was really just a wee bit thicker than that plane could handle. Actually, it probably would be fine in 99% of those old planes, but mine seems to be a mish-mash of different time-frames. That iron has just sat around the shop for the duration, and I figured I’d finally get another No.6 sometime in the near future. What I’d completely overlooked is that it would also fit neatly into a No. 4 1/2, and I have a nice Lie-Nielsen version of that plane. The original iron in my No.4 1/2 is cambered ever so slightly, just the amount that I handle at the water stones; no grinder work necessary.
So, the Williams iron just went to the head of the class, ready to change into a nicely cambered iron. Here is a photo of the iron, before I took it to my grinder. The photo isn’t the best quality (sorry), but you still may be able to see the similar markings as I described in my last article, when I planned to modify an iron from a straight edge to cambered.
|Arrow is pointing to gentle curve I drew with a Sharpie.
|Same iron as above, with the bevel up, as it’s a bit easier to see.
I have a pink friable 80-grit wheel on my grinder, that does a pretty good job removing metal, without imparting too much heat. Even though this iron is HSS, and should be able to handle a bit rougher treatment at the grinder, I still prefer to use a light touch. When going for a camber, I base my grinding on how much material I need to remove. With this iron, even though it’s a light camber (at least in my eyes), there is still a fair amount of metal that must go. I start at the two corners and start blending towards the center, until I’m getting close to my target shape. At that point, I begin to use one hand almost like a clamp, holding the iron on the rest and pivoting around a centralized position. This seems to blend the arc better than I can do, if I try to work each side on its own, all the way to the finish.
I snapped another couple of photos, after I’d finished at the grinder, but before moving to my sharpening/honing water stones.
|Back of cambered iron straight from the grinder. Arrow pointing towards camber.
|Bevel side of cambered iron, before honing.
I used my basic honing guide and set the iron so I’d hone at 35 degrees. Since the back of the iron had a substantial burr, from the grinding, I made some light side-to-side passes on my 1000-grit water stone. It took a minute or two to hone up through 8000-grit, and the iron was ready to work.
I installed this iron into my Lie-Nielsen No.4 1/2, and set it for a fairly light shaving. I easily planed for 15 – 20 minutes, with no obvious feedback telling me the iron was needing attention. Now this iron is HSS, and it is known for retaining an edge for a long time, but its also known it doesn’t get as razor sharp as high-carbon steel. From what I could tell, while working on the Pecan, this HSS iron felt like it could just as easily been a high-carbon steel iron. It was too similar to tell any difference.
The larger format No.4 1/2, along with its extra mass, sure helps when there is a lot of work to do. The extra mass keeps the plane moving through the cut, and the handles have enough room for the hands. The old Bailey No.3 was so small that I had multiple fingers hanging out, on my pushing hand, just so I could keep working. I still like it when I’m adjusting the edges on smaller projects, since that is usually fairly quick work.
I hope this might help answer any questions the last article generated. If not, please let me know and I’ll see if I can help.

I have a number of Lie-Nielsen hand planes in my kit that work beautifully, but I also have an old Bailey I bought many years ago, that was set up differently than I’d ever seen, at the time of purchase.
What made the No.3 a bit unusual to me, at that time, was the somewhat shaped iron (cambered). I’d only ever seen/used planes with a completely straight cutting edge, especially in the small smoothing style of plane, like the No.3. At the time of purchase, I checked to make sure the plane operated correctly (as in holding and advancing/retracting the iron properly) and was sound, but didn’t pay much attention to the cutting edge, as I knew I’d need to sharpen it before use. It was only after I got home that I noticed the shallow camber on the iron. Since this was early in my quest to work wood, I was a bit sketchy in my ability to sharpen, and much less skilled still, at honing a shaped iron. The old plane (turn of the 20th century) still had a good deal of iron left, so I almost re-shaped the iron to a straight cutting edge. Luckily (as it would turn out), I’d bought a couple of planes at the same time, so I left this one alone and came back to it some years later.
During the passing time, I became much more adept at sharpening/honing. So when I finally came back to the old No.3, I honed it up on both my 1000 & 8000 grit stones, and then tested it out. It was really an eye-opener, as the camber really provided a level of flexibility that I’d not experienced with my straight irons. I could much more readily focus on a specific area of a board, allowing quick (in many cases) controlled adjustment of both out-of-square edges and faces that were anything but flat.
The iron in my old No.3 is a Stanley laminated or “Composite” (cutting edge is a piece of steel with a higher percentage of carbon that is welded to a steel backer that contained less carbon) iron. The old iron sharpens/hones easily on water stones and takes a very keen edge.
Until recently, I’d primarily use this plane when adjusting the edges on thin boards, which it did nicely and seemed to retain the edge for a long time. Yesterday I was working on some 8/4 pecan (a little over 4″ wide and about 35″ long) that had a twist on the face as well as the original bandsaw lines. I was about to grab a larger plane, but thought I’d see how this old baby responded. Just as the No.3 had behaved so many times, it started out teaching the wood who was boss. But, that didn’t last very long, as I started noticing how the depth acted as if it was winding back into the plane. I checked the lever cap and it was adequately snug, so I knew that wasn’t happening. When I pulled the iron, it was dull, so I quickly brought it back to life on my water stones. I went back to work and in a fairly short period of time (a couple of minutes), it was again showing the same signs. I pulled the iron again, and I was somewhat surprised to see just how much change had occurred, to the portion of the iron that was touching the wood. (See photo below)
|The very shiny area at the tip of the cutting edge is actually where the wood removed steel.
After seeing the quick change in the cutting edge, I took the chip breaker off, and examined the iron a little bit closer. The area of the iron that shows as very shiny (in the photo above), also generated a small but very tangible burr on the backside of the iron, very similar to what occurs on a sharpening stone. I guess what surprised me most was the magnitude of change occurring in such a small period of time, but have some thoughts that might offset the concern a bit.
When using a cambered iron, the impact on the iron is quite a bit different, compared to a straight cutting edge. With a camber, a very small portion of the iron is actually contacting the wood, which on the surface seems like a big, DUH! Ok, bear with me here. So, when you have a smaller area of the iron contacting the wood, it’s much easier to push through the wood, right? With that being the case, I’m certain I advance the cambered iron much more than I ever could with a straight iron, especially when working to remove a fair amount of material, as I was on this pecan. If I had a straight iron exposed as far as I did the cambered iron, I likely couldn’t even advance the plane. It would just “dive” into the wood, and there it would stop. I would think the straight iron (of the same material) set for an equal depth of cut (if you could actually handle moving it along in the same type wood) might show the same amount of rapid wear, over a similar time interval.
Basically, the added strain on the much more focused area of a cambered iron, relates to the depth of cut, and of course partially the medium. It seems this elevated stress is also somewhat amplified, when the depth of cut increases beyond a certain unknown point. When a plane iron is used to take a very thin shaving, say in the .001″- .003″ range (somewhat arbitrary), the fibers trying to hold the “shaving” to the board are fairly easy to overcome. Now, as the thickness of the shaving increases, here comes that “unknown point” again, there becomes a point where the wood says “I don’t think so”, and a less favorable result occurs. This might be somewhat analogous to paring down to a line, with a chisel. Many of us have experienced that dreaded thickness, when you try to remove it in a single pass, causes the chisel to dive down into the fibers and is forced back beyond the target line. If the same material is removed with a few passes at a less aggressive depth, you retain control of the chisel and finish at your target line. So, if the cambered iron reaches that depth where the wood fiber’s influence seems to increase, it would seem reasonable the iron is stressed further, not only trying to severe the fibers but also fighting against their attempt to make the iron dive down into the wood. If I can keep the depth of cut at a reasonable level, I may just find the sweet spot where I can still rapidly remove a fair amount of material, without spending as much time at the sharpening station. Time will tell!
I’ll definitely continue to use a camber on the majority of my planes, minus the few very specific tools that must have a straight iron, such as my Shoot Board Plane, rabbeting planes and shoulder planes. Even though my current project in Pecan initially bread some concern, it ultimately led me to analyze the complete situation and validate the process for the future.

Though we will have to see how they look coming out of their bye, the Philadelphia Eagles look to be the best team in the NFC entering Week 10. They are 8-1 on the year. Their only loss came to Kansas City at Arrowhead. That’s not really a surprise, as Andy Reid is Doug Pederson‘s coaching mentor.

The reason this game with the Eagles is going to be so bad for the Raiders is this: it is Monday Night Football Christmas night in Philadelphia.
This is an Eagles fan base that once booed and threw snowballs at Santa. It’s going to be cold and angry during the most wonderful time of the year.
Getting a win over the Eagles in Week 16 means that the Raiders are truly playoff caliber. It could signify that a 9-7, 10-6 Raiders team could not just get in to the AFC playoffs, but could win a game or two. A night game in Philly versus the 2017 Eagles just sounds awful.
Though Kansas City on the road in Week 14 and New England in Mexico City in Week 11 don’t feel overly promising, I’d be shocked if the Raiders can come away with a win in Philadelphia. This feels like a certain loss, but that all could change in a matter of weeks. Just win, baby!

WASHINGTON - Lusitania Federal Credit Union is on the brink of winning its nine-month battle to become a mutual savings bank.
The National Credit Union Administration on May 24 unanimously approved Lusitania's application to convert its charter.
The approval paves the way for a July 8 membership vote at the Newark, N.J., credit union. The members are expected to approve the transaction, as they did in a March vote that NCUA disqualified.
Officials and lawyers connected with credit union said the new entity, to be called Lusitania Savings Banks, will be operating by the end of the third quarter.
"It's taken a while, but we're glad we made it," said Sandra Teixeira, vice president of finance for $52 million-asset Lusitania.
Lusitania's journey began last August, when it applied to the Office of Thrift Supervision for a mutual savings banks charter. Within days, NCUA examiners poured into the credit union to check its books.
The regulator already had taken a hard line against such conversions. High-ranking agency officials blasted lawyers for discussing the transactions with credit unions and the agency last June seized a credit union that had been contemplating such a move.
Then, in March, the agency rejected Lusitania's application because it lacked a graph detailing the increased operating expenses it would incur as a thrift.
NCUA Chairman Norman E. D'Amours denied in a statement Wednesday that the agency had played the obstructionist.
"It was never NCUA's intention to block the conversion of Lusitania," he said. "We wanted to be sure that the interests of the members were foremost and that they were fully aware of what the proposed transaction meant to them and their credit union."
Ms. Teixeira attributed the slow process to the regulator's inexperience more than anything else.
"They were in uncharted waters," she said.
Richard Fisch, a lawyer who has worked with the credit union, said the regulator had a change of heart after realizing the approval would not spur a flood of conversions.
Lusitania wanted to convert because, unlike most credit unions, the majority of its loans are tied to real estate and it wanted greater mortgage lending powers.
The NCUA "realized they really were not facing a charter exodus," said Mr. Fisch, a partner in the Washington firm of Malizia, Spidi, Sloane & Fisch.
Further, the agency made converting tougher with new standards it issued in March. Under the new regulation - which did not apply to Lusitania - a credit union must get a majority of its membership to approve a charter change.
Because Lusitania had applied before the new rules took effect, only 20% of its members must approve the switch.
"This could be the first and last one," Mr. Fisch said.
The OTS has already approved the conversion contingent on approval from the NCUA; the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. also is expected to grant the new thrift coverage.

Dartford boss Tony Burman has urged his squad to play smarter.
The Darts lost their unbeaten National League South record at home to East Thurrock on Monday.
It left Burman reminding his players not to shoot themselves in the foot.
“We’ve got to be a lot more intelligent than what we were in the game,” said Burman.
“Our play in the first half was disappointing. There was a lot of work-rate but no intelligence on the ball, to put it bluntly. As a spectacle, I thought it was poor.
“We’ve been good at set pieces. You ask people to put balls in the right place because it works and then they decide to put balls into different places.
“It’s a lack of thought and I’m sure it was a bit of tiredness.
“It needed a bit more intelligence, it came out in spells in the second half but it wasn’t enough for us.”
Burman was angered by the goal Dartford conceded against East Thurrock – losing the ball cheaply and then giving away a needless free-kick.
He added: “I’m disappointed because of the build-up to their goal. We lost the ball on the halfway line too cheaply and then we gave a foul away – and from that free-kick they’ve scored.
“If the ball is played up to someone on the halfway line, we shouldn’t be losing it and shouting out for a foul. We should be stronger.
"It’s been an eventful August and to finish it on a loss is disappointing but we have to learn a lesson and move on.”

The male student, who lives in the Heights neighborhood of Jersey City, got off the Light Rail at the Ninth Street Station in Hoboken just after 3 a.m. on Sunday, but found that he couldn’t take the elevator up the cliffs toward his house because it was out of service.
According to the report, he began to walk east on Eighth Street and was approached by two Hispanic men in a white car when he was hailing a cab. The student apparently confirmed that the men did not work for a taxi service, but got in their car anyway when they said they would help him get home, the report said.
When the student entered the car’s back seat, he was joined by one of the men, who asked how much money he was carrying. When he replied that he only had three dollars and asked to go to an ATM, the man allegedly began to beat him, said the report. They took his iPhone 5S, as well as his wallet, which contained two credit cards, a debit card, an insurance card, and a driver’s license.
They eventually let him out of the car at the Academy Bus Station on the corner of Fifteenth and Jefferson streets, where he contacted police. The student was then transported to Hoboken University Medical Center for treatment to several severe lacerations on his face and head.
The police report noted that the Academy terminal is equipped with several security cameras, and that the company would be turning the tapes over to the department. – Dean DeChiaro

Car Charging Group, a company offering charging services for electric vehicles, has welcomed new sweeping auto-emission standards passed by the California Air Resources Board.
According to the new rules, one in seven new vehicles to be sold in the state in 2025 must be an electric vehicle or a zero-emission vehicle. The new rules mandate a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases by 34% and a reduction in the emission of smog-forming pollutants by 75%. Over one million numbers of plug-in electric vehicles, including Ford Focus EV, Tesla Model S, Fisker Karma, GM Chevrolet Volta and Nissan LEAF, are anticipated to be run on the road by 2015 in the United States with forecasts of over 40 million electric vehicles on the road in 2030 globally.
Car Charging Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Michael D. Farkas appreciated the regulators of California for releasing such pioneering auto-emission standards. These new rules encourage people to buy eco-friendly electric vehicles. The company believes that now other states pursue the path of California as the whole country migrates to highly efficient and cleaner transportation.
Miami-based Car Charging Group is developing a countrywide electrical vehicle service to allow charging of all types of electric vehicles at anytime and everywhere across the North American region and eventually in most of the growth-oriented global markets.
Car Charging Group offers a complete turnkey solution to install and maintain the whole infrastructure for all property owners. The company has over 30 strategic collaborations with shopping malls, municipalities, commercial and multi-family residential properties and parking garages. The company’s partners gain profits by sharing revenues from the electric vehicle charging service, while improving green initiative in all points of their business activities.

Is your state still fully taxing military retirement pay? MOAA National serves in an advisory capacity for state-specific issues such as income tax exemption. Please contact your local MOAA council as state legislation must originate at the state level.
A new law allows military retirees in Delaware under age 60 to receive the same tax benefits offered to 60-and-older retirees in the state, a move which could save them thousands of dollars a year.
Delaware Gov. John Carney signed legislation this summer extending the state tax exemption for military retirees under 60 from $2,000 to $12,500. That’s the same amount all Delaware retirees 60 or older, civilian or military, receive an exemption on their pensions and eligible retirement income.
The new law, which takes effect for tax year 2022, does not include surviving spouses, nor does it cover retirees from the commissioned corps of the U.S. Public Health Service or NOAA.
“The sponsor of the bill is going to check with the Treasury to see about adding them next [legislative] session,” said MOAA Dover Chapter President Col. Eugenia “Gene” Thornton, USA (Ret). “While this bill is a positive step forward, we would ultimately love to see all uniformed retirees and surviving spouses receive a 100% exemption on their retirement income.”
Rhode Island: Full Exemption for Retirees
Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee signed legislation in July eliminating taxes on military retiree income.
The bill takes effect in 2023. Similar to the Delaware bill, it does not include surviving spouses or USPHS and NOAA commissioned corps retirees.
Approximately 5,200 military retirees in Rhode Island will be eligible for tax breaks under the new law, according to Southeastern New England Chapter Vice President Lt. Cmdr. Michael Rosenberg, USNR (Ret). Rosenberg credited the chapter’s legislative chairman, former Capt. Emil Cipolla, USAF, and the rest of the chapter members for doing their part.
“He [Cipolla] put in a lot of time on studies, telling the General Assembly the economic impact of getting people to stay in the state,” Rosenberg said. “We had members calling and writing letters, testifying both in person and on the phone. And we participated in the legislative breakfasts, which got us in the limelight.”
Rosenberg said local MOAA chapters have been trying to get this legislation passed for the last six years.
“Persistence is important,” Rosenberg said. “It is a marathon, not a sprint.”
Maryland: Working to Attract Veterans
The Maryland Council of Chapters is pushing the state to exempt 100% of uniformed servicemembers’ retirement pay to attract more veterans to the state.
The council’s efforts include engaging more with state lawmakers and increasing its social media presence on Facebook and Twitter to amplify the message of the Maryland Military Coalition, said Maryland Council of Chapters president Col. Bob Norton, USA (Ret). The coalition is comprised of veterans service organizations lobbying on behalf of all eight uniformed services.
Currently, all uniformed servicemembers and surviving spouses in Maryland who are 55 and older receive a tax exemption of up to $15,000 on their retirement pay; retirees under 55 can claim up to $5,000. All retirees 65 and older, civilian and uniformed services alike, may be eligible to receive up to a $34,300 exemption under the Maryland Pension Exclusion.
[RELATED: More About MOAA's Councils and Chapters]
Norton said it makes sense to offer more robust tax breaks to Maryland military retirees with the state boasting 15 military installations and a large DoD civilian presence. In a study conducted in 2019 by Towson University’s Regional Economic Studies Institute, Maryland was averaging more than 23,000 monthly vacancies for jobs that contribute to the defense industry. Many of these vacancies were in the cybersecurity field.
Nearby states have recently passed tax-friendly legislation for retired veterans, including the states outlined above as well as Virginia, which adopted a phased-in approach that will exempt $40,000 in retirement income for military veterans 55 and older by 2025.
“Our argument is not to take care of the Bob Nortons who are way into retirement,” Norton said. “It is about attracting young people who have 20 to 30 years of experience. They are getting out [of the military] and they have choices [on where to live].”
Rear Adm. Thomas J. Jurkowsky, USN (Ret), a MOAA board member, addressed the issue in a February op-ed at CapitalGazette.com, saying “military retirees are higher wage earners and are the type of individuals Maryland should be trying to attract and retain.”
