we need an army corps permit that is taking some time to receive. even if we were to fully fund it next year, it would be sitting until we can get that permit issue resolved and get to work on the program. >> can you give me an approximate idea of what's unfunded? >> i'm going to ask my colleague, david to answer that question. >> david from funding and development. what we do have is all the pile removement west from third creek to slay's creek. where we need additional funding for pile removal is the area around the grain silos directly under the grain silos, the pier 96/terminal and then be pier 70 wharf 8. pier 70 wharf 8 we do have a federal request in through werda >> water resource --. >> yeah, water resources through the army corps of engineers, so we're hoping we may get some funding for that as well. but as elaine mentioned we have begun the permitting process through the army corps of engineers for removal and reanticipate that ideally to get a permit within the next 12 to 18 months that would allow us to do that removal. >> so approximat

by july i was in the peace corps. i entered the peace corps command by end of august i was off living by my own. and i had to kind of get around. and i learned responsibility in a way that i had never quite understood before when people come up to you and say is everything okay, is my money they're command you realize you're it. you are taking care of there money and making sure that their life's ambitions, whether it was to send the kid to school needed credit union money, needed savings for that are buying one of those foot pumps on machines or putting corrugated roofing other house was huge for them. so the sense of responsibility and then for me for people who knew about americans, i kind of realized that know one is indifferent. everyone has an opinion about our country. that was a lesson that lesson that i took to heart. but the biggest lesson, i had a credit union and a number of credit unions, the board of directors basically kind of made off with most of -- they had most of the loan money. 5% of the members o

on the right you have a marine corps ripped to pieces by a sunni ied way back. both have killed us. both probably would kill us again, if they needed to, if they felt like they wanted to. personally, i'm more afraid of the capabilities of the iogc kurds force based special groups. 2011 they killed 16 americans because it seemed like perhaps we were going to rethink our withdrawal from iraq. i think they're much more dangerous than the sune fee-led groups. but i'll talk about why very quickly. two main reasons. one, the -- an increased involvement of the iranian-backed popular mobilization units, particularly in areas to the north like mosul, tikrit, places out in the western anbol where they're at the moment being welcomed in piecemeal, i think they'll wear out their welcome pretty soon. i think the involvement -- overreliance on these units will lengthen the war against isis. these guys are, if you look at this, i've blanked out the gruesome images of dead body suspended from a lamp post, left there by the pmus. likewise, a mosque massacre bottom left. this is not even images from

within the press corps people were very by me being such a new bee. and not being in washington. apart this washington press corps that is coming out of the baltimore really there was a lot of push back. and people wondered how is she getting interviews with president clinton how is she doing this. and she is not in the pool. i have a lot of push back let's break it down into three categories you write about not only your interest accurates with other reporters and your interaccurates with presidents and of course press secretaries too. talk about a couple of those moments start under the bush administration tony snow was a new press secretary. what happened with the tar baby comment? you know. of the first day, the first day that he came into the press briefing he was a rock star in chief when he came in so many people were in that room i could not get into my seat so typically. when you are in the white house, and you are in the briefing area. you are downstairs and doing your work upstairs doing work and you have a designated seat. and you feel comfortable that okay. i can wai

should i change to an llc or keep both as s corps? you may not have the answer but where can he go to find the answer? >> i don't pretend to know the answer to this i would reach out to networks and ask them. find a list serve or group where one has a similar business and had same issues or questions. ask for their advice not only advice but once you find a person, ask for contacts. lawyers, often conversations with lawyers are free advice before they ask you to come in as a client. make sure you drive in many conversations around the same topic. >> tania? >> both an s corp and ll can have the same similarities. the same tax benefits, the same benefit of protecting yourself from personal liability. the big thing is the kind of business and scale you're anticipating. if you're going to be paying yourself a salary and have these excess profits, an s corp is probably a better decision for you. it's a bit more expensive to set up. it will have complications with state level taxes f you're just getting started, building it up you're happy

>> both an s-corps and llc have a lot of similarities. you get the same benefit of protecting yourself from personal liability. the biggest difference comes down to the kind of business and the kind of scale you're anticipating initially. if you're going to be paying yourself a salary and have all of these excess profits you're anticipating, an s-corp is better for you. it's going to be more expensive to set up with complications with state level taxes, but if you're really just getting started and building it up and are happy to pass through that on your tax, then an llc is a lot easier. you can do it online and don't have to worry about a lot of the additional implications. >> great. thank you so much for stopping by today. i really appreciate all your advice. hope to see you guys soon. as you all know we get all these questions from our audience. so send in yours and we'll give you some answers. send us an e-mail to yourbusiness@msnbc.com. >>> thanks everyone so much for joining us today. if you want to learn more about the show just h

during the korean conflict, army and marine corps commanders failed to appreciate the capabilities ofnipers. as a result, a sniper school was founded by the united states army infantry school. they must be experts with specialized weapons and combat skills. also, their commanders education is vital. the sniper program was short-lived, but vietnam revived the need for trained snipers because of enemy forces in vietnam demonstrating the effectiveness of sniper employment techniques under varying tactical conditions. additionally, united states snipers use 2.3 rounds per kill versus thousands of rounds per kill by various units. the army conducted sniper training courses and educated commanders at all levels of sniper employment. during the 1983 grenada operation, army snipers were successful to mortar positions at ranges up to 800 meters. in just cause in panama, the longest confirmed killed documented was 925 meters. snipers in panama accounted for at least 10% of all casualties and were instrumental in intelligence gathering and security, especially. the role of the modern sniper team
