my company buys unwanted life insurance policies off seniors who are looking to cash in their policy. we then turn around and sell the policies to retail clients and most recently institutional investors looking for a fixed return; in turn hedging against fluctuation in the markets.
seniors sell their policies to companies like ours because we are willing to give them a lot more in cash than the "surrender value" of the insurance company.
what investors get is buying the policy at a deep discount of the death benefit while assuming the premiums until the policy "matures".
we have a tremendous amount of policy flow coming in and out of our office; part of my job is to filter out what is good and what is bad --insurance wise; and then send it to our medical department to filter out what is worth being sent out to get medically underwritten.

I will let Big Daddy tell you the name, make sure he want's it posted. But it is in Menomonie, east side of the UW-Stout campus. The place where they typically hosted ReggaeFest etc...
Been there a few times, and have had quite a few drinks there. Only problem is I didn't know he was Big Daddy from here, and he didn't know I was dogface/TSI from here. LOL!

USSRV....Stack is the general manager now. My name is Jason. You probably know my little sis though. She plays for TCU. Her name is Camille. Stack is running the whole resort now. I know Wilson though I think.
Jason what is your last name? I may no who you are talking about. Are you from Breckengridge, if so I know who you are now. George Lebus did not play so well today.

yeah, thats me. Last name is Blackerby. George is my uncle. I knew that the am qualifer was today, but didn't hear how he played. Plays too much cards. I have been up there a couple of times to see Spikes. I met a couple of guys by the names of Jacob and Reid I think. That might not be right. Either one of those guys you? Bring some guys out there either way, bring George too if ya want. Stack doesn't play golf anymore, and there is no one else out here. Feel free to come out if you get a chance. JB

dogface, did you know that Meirkort left Stout to take the head coaching job at South Dakota?

I knew about it, he has an affinity for South Dakota! Not quite sure why... I do believe he grew up there, I am not quite positive on that.
Who is the new replacement, and what is happening to the rest of the staff, any word?

Coach Todd Strop
UW-Stout went only as far as their own coaching staff to name their next head football coach.
Todd Strop, the team's defensive coordinator for the past six seasons, has been named to replace Ed Meierkort, who accepted the head coaching position at NCAA Division II University of South Dakota in December, Chancellor Charles W. Sorensen announced Thursday, Jan. 29 at a press conference. Strop is the 18th head football coach at UW-Stout.
As the defensive coordinator, Strop has been the main architect of the defense that has ranked at the top of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) three of the last four years and has been nationally ranked twice. The 2002 Blue Devil defense allowed an NCAA Division III low 500 rushing yards, and was ranked 13th in overall defense.
"The head coaching position is a wide encompassing job," the 35-year-old Strop said. "The challenge will be having my handprint on all aspects of the program, not just on defense."
Meierkort coached the Blue Devils for 11 years, finishing with a 55-55 overall record. But the Blue Devils were 29-11 over the last four years, including a conference title in 2000 and had no lower than a fourth place finish in the WIAC any of those seasons.
"Ed did a great job turning this program around," Strop said. "I look forward to turning a good program into a great program. We have many things in place here at Stout - the facilities, high academics, top recruiting classes - to challenge at the national level."
When Strop walked onto the Stout campus six years ago, he immediately fell in love with the Stout and Menomonie communities. Growing up in nearby Ladysmith, Strop was familiar with Stout and the WIAC.
"Growing up in northwest Wisconsin, these are the dream jobs," Strop said. After a 6-4 record last season, Strop believes Stout has the tools needed to continue to challenge for the top spot in the WIAC.
"The last two or three recruiting classes have been very good recruiting classes," Strop said. "When I look at the skills positions, we are as good as we have ever been.
"We need to look at a lot of the little things, and do the little things right."
Strop, who was the WIAC assistant coach of the year in 2000, worked specifically with the defensive backs and has been the team's recruiting coordinator the last five seasons. Over Strop's tenure, the Blue Devil defense has had five All-America picks and two players that went on to play in the NFL, Jeff Hazuga with the Minnesota Vikings and Tony Beckham, who is currently playing with the Tennessee Titans.
Strop played at Wisconsin from 1987-92 for present coach Barry Alvarez as a defensive back and special teams player. Strop has a special place in his heart for special teams, and wants to put more of an emphasis on that part of Stout's game.
"I wasn't that good at Wisconsin, and special teams is how I got on the field," Strop quipped. "Specials team are huge. The biggest thing about special teams is to make the players feel that is an important part of the game."
After receiving a degree in history from Wisconsin in 1992, Strop was the special teams coordinator at UW-Platteville from 1992-94. He was a graduate assistant at Ohio University from 1994-95, where he earned an advanced degree in physical education athletic administration, then became the head football coach and taught history at nearby Durand High School from 1995-98.
Strop took over a program that had been averaging fewer than two wins a season, and had the Panthers in the WIAA playoffs his final two seasons in Durand. Strop came to Stout from Durand.
Strop resides in Menomonie with his wife, Chris, and two children, a son, Tyler, and a daughter, Kylie.

LOL! I just wen to the site and finished reading the info....thanks!
I wonder what roles Duehy and Thomas and Valk will have.
Dave Valk was on of the brighter minds on that staff when I was there he was installing the "West COast" offense, and was mamybe a little too cerebral for the QB's.
Mike Byrd is just a little slow IMO...
Looks to be an interesting year, but I have heard good things about Strop.
