The National Joint PowersAlliance® (NJPA), on behalfof NJPA and its current andpotential member agencies,which includes all governmen-tal, higher education, K-12education, not-for-probt, tribalgovernment, and all otherpublic agencies located in allbfty states, Canada, and inter-nationally, issues this RequestFor Proposal (RFP) to result ina national contract solution forthe procurement of #021815AGRICULTURAL TRACTORSWITH RELATED EQUIPMENTAND ACCESSORIES. Detailsof this RFP are availablebeginning JANUARY 7, 2015.Details may be obtained byletter of request to JonathanYahn, NJPA, 202 12th StreetNortheast, P.O. Box 219,Staples, MN 56479, or bye-mail at [email protected] will be receiveduntil FEBRUARY 18, 2015 at4:30 p.m. Central Time at theabove address and openedFEBRUARY 19, 2015 at 8:00a.m. Central Time.

Maggie Grace and Joel Kinna-man share a special, albeit terrify-ing, bond playing the onscreeno�spring of Liam Neeson.

Grace stars as Kim, the daugh-ter of Neeson’s CIA operativeBryan Mills, in the Taken fran-chise (Taken 3 opens Friday), andshe spends most of her time inmortal danger.

Kinnaman plays Neeson’sgrown son, Mike Conlon, in RunAll Night (out April 17), a filmthat requires him and his hitmandad Jimmy to flee gangsters try-ing to kill them both.

Grace is noticing a trend.“Yes, Liam’s screen progeny

are pretty endangered,” says theactress, 31. “We all seem to be inperil.”

Protecting loved ones is part ofthe territory for Neeson, 62, whohas turned into an unlikely actionstar. Kim’s kidnapping in 2009’sTaken sent Neeson’s character ona gangster killing spree to free herfrom human tra�cking. The filmreaped $145 million at the box of-fice, and Neeson’s action-star per-sona was sealed.

In 2012’s Taken 2, Kim had tohelp fight o� more gangsters, whokidnapped her mother and Mills.Naturally, there’s even moredaughter disturbances in thethird installment.

Grace believes Neeson’s sincer-ity allows moviegoers to accepthim as a father figure, despite be-ing a CIA operative or hitman.

“He’s this action hero, but

there’s a sense of paternal protec-tion about him. He has this pres-ence, like the father everyonewishes they had,” Grace says. “He

has a sense of strength buttenderness.”

Run All Night director JaumeCollet-Serra says the family angle

becomes an instant target forscreenwriters.

“When you want to activate abadass character, most scripts tryto go there and do somethingagainst the family,” Collet-Serrasays. “Especially the kids.”

Run All Night has a di�erentpremise because Kinnaman, 35,is 6-foot-2 and has starred in hisown action films, including Robo-Cop. He delivers plenty of bodyblows, and naturally, he needledNeeson about who was tougher.

“I teased him a lot,” Kinnamansays. “And I would remind himthat he might be stronger, but Irun a lot faster.”

Nonetheless, Kinnaman hasadvice for any actors who mightbe cast as Neeson’s progeny:“They should come to workarmed and look over their shoul-der a lot. Because if they got thepart it must mean someone’s al-ready after them.”
