Speaking at a pre-Super Bowl news conference Thursday, Pash explained that the doctors would not be paid by the clubs or hired as team physicians. There could be more than one neurologist assigned to each team to divide home and road games.
Pash said "details need to be worked through" with the NFL Players Association.
The NFL is facing concussion-related lawsuits from thousands of former players.
In a series of interviews about head injuries with The Associated Press in December 2011, 31 of 44 players said they wanted the league to have independent neurologists at games.

After a two-week layoff, the Bishop Lady Broncos picked up where they left off in December with a big win over El Capitan High School of Lakeside at the San Diego Wolverine Shootout, Thursday. The Div. 3 Vaqueros fell to Bishop, 55-40.
Sophomore Maria Jimenez had a breakout game putting up 25 points. ŌĆ£All the girls contributed to the victory,ŌĆØ said coach Brian Pennington. ŌĆ£It was a great way to start the new year.ŌĆØ
Tournament action continued yesterday with games scheduled with the Div. 4 Templeton Eagles, currently 8-2, and the Div. 2 Ramona Bulldogs with a 7-2 record.
The Bishop Broncos basketball teamŌĆÖs record went to 6-2 with a 61-54 win over the visiting Mineral County Serpents Tuesday night.
The game wasnŌĆÖt as tight as the score reflects; Bishop was the stronger of the two teams from the tip-off. But, like the Lady BroncosŌĆÖ game, coach Ben Arcularius opted to give his bench varsity playing time and build up the depth of the Broncos squad in preparation for league action.
The Serpents got the tip-off but Andrea Musumeci swept in for the steal and Bishop was the first with points on the board.
BishopŌĆÖs Lady Broncos soccer team stayed perfect for the season with a 3-1 win over the Mammoth Lady Huskies at home last Friday.
ŌĆ£It was a little bit one-sided,ŌĆØ said co-coach Cathy McKinley. ŌĆ£We really should have put more balls in the back of the net. But, we played hard as a team and, for the most part, kept our heads in the game.ŌĆØ
Bishop/Mammoth soccer games are always lively and this one was no exception. McKinley was appreciative of the fact Bronco boosters were a ŌĆ£great positive crowd.ŌĆØ
The Lone Pine Golden Eagles basketball teams got their first test against the Kern Valley Broncs last Tuesday, Nov. 26.
The Eagles pulled out a 60-56 win; the Lady Eagles fell, 58-21.
ŌĆ£We were a little cold in the first half,ŌĆØ said Eagles coach Scott Kemp. Kern led by 4 at the half, but the Eagles came back behind impressive offensive rebounds and put-backs by Brad Greene.
Kemp acknowledged that the Broncs have ŌĆ£a couple of good shooters who made some amazing baskets.ŌĆØ But, when a team only has one shot at the basket, itŌĆÖs tough to win the game.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Bill Parcells was a winner everywhere he coached. Time and time again, he took over struggling franchises and showed them what it takes to be a success, including a pair of Super Bowl titles with the New York Giants.
Parcells pulled off another victory Saturday - election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Getting in on his fourth try, Parcells led an induction class that also included mouthy defensive lineman Warren Sapp, prolific receiver Cris Carter and a pair of stalwarts from the trenches, offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen.
The class of 2013 …

Good restaurant to bring your family to, bad if you want to impress someone. The prices were for the most part reasonable and the service was pretty great, but Chile's will never be my top choice. I would not get the eggroll appetizer or cheesesteak sandwich. I would also be wary of the burgers. It was like three eggrolls cut in half on a platter. I really wish they hadn't been cut in half, because the inside looked nasty. It literally looked like it was filled with crap. They tasted alright, but I couldn't look at them while I ate them. The cheesesteak had adequate steak but all the bellpeppers were shoved to one side and I was expecting a lot more cheese. I could barely taste any and I was expecting a good serving. None was visible. The burgers are usually pretty good, but my companion's was so soggy that there was a little puddle of grease on her plate. It was also undercooked; pink and red inside even though she asked for medium-well. Food was mediocre, but the service was great.
Terrible Service!!!!! – My husband took me to Chili's for lunch when I was 7 months pregnant. When we entered the restaurant, there was no one to greet us at the door for about 5 mins...we contemplated leaving then suddenly the manager came and escorted us to our seats and was a sour puss herself. We waited some more for a server and as I sat there, I couldn't help but notice how unpleasant most of the wait staff was...Finally our server graced us with her scowling face and down right rude tone and gestures- it was then I told my husband that these folks are rude and we should leave. My husband is very easy going and said no, they are busy and that's why they appear to be in a "frenzy". I went along with his theory until our sorry server literally PUSHED my hand off the table with a hot platter and didn't even bother to apologize!!!! My husband and I were dumb founded… We didn't bother wasting our time reporting it to the manager because from the looks of things we were pretty sure nothing was going to be addressed with that employee. We asked for our check-cancelled our order, left and have never been to Chili's since. Sad to say, but a lot of our friends and co-workers feel the same way about this restaurant. Don't eat at Chili's!!!!! Olive Garden, Tony's Seafood and Outback offer much better service!

I truly think it was beautiful experience. You see. I truly enjoy not only staying in the hostel near the sea but the lively breath walking near it. Then after that, I return to the hostel and at this, moment soaking in aroma of these warm-water fragrances from the bath tub. The ambiances are great there for relaxing and at times at this moment watching the adjoining view from the neighbouring scenery from the windows of the hostel. Some of them are truly breath taking.

Happy hour is the time to go for $1 oysters and cocktail and drink specials. On a sunny day, sit on the outdoor patio with waterfront views of the Bay Bridge.
Waterbar is one of my favorite restaurants in SF: some of the best bay views in the city, a classy and lively atmosphere, solid service, and creative, seasonal, delicious food. Pricey, yes (inevitable due to location), but portions are generous and the kitchen puts a lot of heart and imagination into their dishes. Great spot for business, pleasure, and everything in between.
Good location, Great food, nice facilty – I read a few mixed reviews here on City Search, but I had a good experience at the Waterbar in San Fran.
The restaurant is beautiful, the fried osters, seared scallops, soup and cocktail bar were good. the service was good, the men's room was very clean, the wine selection and kitchen looked imporessive. There were a few managers mingeling around making sure everyone was happy and attended too.
I recommend the restaurant and give it 4 stars.
Love the $1 Oysters! – What could be better...sitting in a beautiful restaurant with the best view of the Bay eating $1 oytsters and sipping on champagne?
This is one of the best deals in the city and I think it's offered 7 days a week until 6p.
Don't waste your money at the Waterbar – I have to say that the service was excellent and the scenary/atmosphere was great. My party of six enjoyed a Saturday night at the Waterbar until our food came. 3 of 6 thought the food was terrible. That is because I did not know the other three people to get there opinion. My suggestion is to not try so hard on appearance and work a little harder on taste. I see a for sale sign in the window in the near future.
Near perfect dining experience – We were debating where to go for dinner and at the last minute decided to stroll over to the Waterbar to see if we could get a table. The hostess was very friendly, greeted us and said it would be no problem getting us seated. About 5 minutes later we were sitting next to one of the massive aquariums, such a fantastic seat! I think they must reserve a row of 2 tops nearer to the kitchen for walk-ins, just a guess. Their wine list was amazing, by far one of the best I've ever seen. We had a nice light 2005 pinot, a great recommendation by their wine expert and then we shared the tuna tar-tar and Filet Mignon. Best steak I've had in a long long time, along the lines of Ruth Chris. If you end up going, keep an eye out for the 4-5ft eel in the tank on the left!
Hands down the best restaurant I've been to so far in San Francisco.
Splashy Embarcadero seafood spot provides fresher-than-fresh fare, a large-yet-cozy space, a wealth of wine options and killer Bay views. – An impressive shellfish bar lit by a hand-blown glass chandelier and two 19-foot-tall pillar aquariums teeming with an array of colorful sea life--not to mention unbelievable views of the bay and bridge--greet well-heeled out-of-towners, after-work crowds, special-occasion diners and romantic couples. Unlike the other seafood-themed establishments found on the waterfront, Waterbar is the real, raw deal when it comes to fish: An unmatched selection of fresh oysters (Hog Island kumamotos, Virginia olde salts, British Columbia Fanny Bays, Washington Deer Creeks and Massachusetts wellfleets, to name a few), and house specialties like a fried rock cod "Colbert", a simple, succulent lobster roll, and a whole roasted halibut are just a few of the aquatic offerings at this bayside powerhouse. On the turf side there are Creekstone Farms ribeye and a pancetta-wrapped rabbit as well as some vegetarian options, though these options miss the point of this restaurant completely.
Spendy seafood with a view – My favorite parts of the experience were:
1) that gorgeous view at night
2) the vya con dios cocktail that started my night right (Meyers dark rum, raspberry puree, OJ, and some other goodies)
3) the awesome friend I brought along with me
That said, seafood and service weren't on that list.
Pay more for a lot less – The presentation was pretentious given that the food was very underwhelming. The $90 raw seafood plate was small. Go next door to the Waterfront and pay $80 for three times. My wife found the salad flavors odd and had trouble finishing it. My fish and chips main course was visually ugly and the cole slaw flavorless. We had friends from SoCal with us and were embarrassed by the food and shocked by its cost! Never again.
A wonderful experience – I can not imagine that I ate at the same restaurant as the other reviewers. A group of 3, we sat in the main dining room. The review that said that they only took groups of 6 or more must have been mistaken, most of the tables were for 4.We were near the window with a wonderful view of the bay on one side and the large marine enclosures on the other. It was a little loud when we arrived but when the large group at the bar moved on, it was very tolerable noise level.
Every employee we had contact with was helpful and charming. Managers were attentive. Lowell our waiter was always there when needed.
Our cocktails were great. Had a 'Jenn's Biss' from the signature menu and will definitely be back to sip this refreshing drink. It was a cocktail developed by our bartender - Jenn-, who won a award for it . She also served our other drinks which were all equally good.
The food was exceptional. We had starters to share, one was the crab and bone marrow,very unusual and very good; another was a scallop and beet dish on which the scallops were done to perfection! Grilled to just the right crustiness on the outside, and like butter in the center. We had Emma's favorite salad, which was refreshing and imaginative.
For main dishes, our non-fish eater had the Pork Chop, the portion was very generous and cooked to perfection. I had the Wreckfish, which was recommended by the waiter. I had never hear of it. It was cooked to perfection and is dish I will repeat and recommend. Our third had the Sturgeon, again excellent. The dishes were not 'unusual' , but they were excellent, well prepared and well matched with the other items that accompanied them on the plate. Our sides of English Peas and French Fries, were well executed.
The Wine our beverage server Jennifer suggested was just right for our meal choices, and also a great price. I was very impressed that in addition to some higher priced wines, she pointed out a wine that was very affordable.
Dessert was YUMMM
Big Disappointment! – Okay, we're all used to paying high prices for dinner and drinks, but usually the cost is matched with quality food and quality service. Not here. We had a hard time flagging down our waiter most of the evening, when he did make an appearance, it came with an attitude, and a surprising unprofessional knowledge of his own menu. One of our table guests asked if they had any Mexican beer, he replied no, only to see that they had Corona on the bar list. The food was bland, paying way too much attention on the "been-there-done-that" presentations and not packing any flavor...appetizers were attractive but completely uneventful to the palette, everything lacked taste, except for the oysters were basically okay, although not as described by the waiter. My husband inquired about the stone crab as a final course, however, we went with the waiters preference of the shrimp, which according to him were a much better selection! When the plate arrived about a 45 minutes later, we had 3 shrimp the size of half dollars, burnt to a crisp at $24! Is anyone watching the grill? Come on, that's $8 bucks each if you do the math. Oh and did I mention, my Grey Goose Martini was served warm with mushy olives. The best thing, are the fish tanks,
Uninspired, over-priced seafood – I was not impressed with this restaurant. I had lunch there a few weeks ago. Yes, the view is nice, but I wouldn't call it spectacular. You can get a similar view from the Ferry Building or the Waterfront Restaurant and the view at Pier 23 is also pretty nice. The exterior of the building is boring at best. The food was uninspired but fine. It was edible but not nearly as good as the Waterfront, certainly not worth the price. The restaurant is very large inside and can get fairly loud. The servers seemed to know their job and the menu but also came across a bit elitist and not warm. The hostess was cordial but cool and I think she may have been chosen more for her physical appearance than people skills. This place is just not welcoming and the food doesn't measure up to San Francisco standards for high-end seafood. Also, the waiter made a point of telling us that some of the fish is flown in daily from Great Britain and Japan. He seemed to think we'd be impressed but all I could think of was the environmental impact of that kind of cavalier use of airplane fuel. We have excellent fish in the Pacific waters right off our own coast. Again, not in keeping with San Francisco standards. I will add though, that the restaurant has a couple of very large, and spectacular, column aquariums created by the folks at the Monterey Bay Aquarium that add to a nice decor if you are seated near them. If what you want is a good view of the bay and good seafood go to the Waterfront, don't waste your money at Waterbar.

Gilley's Reno Sparks, which plans to open in the spring of 2014, will offer a "unique combination of total entertainment" with a restaurant, nightclub, live entertainment and DJs, dancing and more, according to Nugget Public Relations Manager Lauren Garber. Keeping with the trend of Gilley's establishments in Las Vegas, Texas and Oklahoma the second Nevada location will feature a mechanical bull for customers and the Gilley Girls, which the casino said gives a fun nod to the rich ranching history of the region.
"It's an exciting time for all of us here at the Nugget," said new President and CEO Carlton Geer. "We feel confident that vibe will translate to all of our guests who experience Gilley's."
Now that the ownership transition is complete Geer announced Monday he plans to keep the casino's name and its 1,500 employees, and he added that up to $50 million would be invested into the property in the coming months to "update and renovate" the casino floor, hotel rooms, restaurants, convention space, exterior and signage and new restaurant and entertainment venue updates.
Gilley's is the first of many changes inside the Sparks casino/resort, which has become a staple of the downtown community through its several special events and identity in the community since 1955.
"It will be a casual, yet exciting experience for fun-loving adults of every generation," Geer said of Gilley's.
The popular honky tonk saloon was featured in the movie "Urban Cowboy," which spawned Gilley's replications in Las Vegas and other country-centric locales. The more than 10,000 square feet of Gilley's will be highlighted by the mechanical bull, which in the movie was a key testament to rodeo skills and bravery.
"We look forward to consistently providing our guests the best return on their entertainment dollar and Gilley's is an exciting part of our future," Geer said.
Gilley's Las Vegas hosts live entertainment Friday and Saturday nights, food and drink specials throughout the week and plenty of other action inside its saloon. Adding those elements to to the Reno-Sparks location would fill a void in the region left by the closing of Mustang's at the Grand Sierra Resort.
The Nugget announced Monday that the casino would remain fully functional during any construction or renovations, adding that events planned prior to the exchange in ownership would not be affected. Sections of the casino will be temporarily unavailable for a limited period, but the casino will continue to function 24 hours a day throughout the year.
"There will probably be a partition up during the renovations because we want people to know we are making upgrades but not necessarily see the construction," Garber said Tuesday afternoon. "Once any new projects approach their opening we will be letting people know and throwing a party to celebrate."
Garber said the Nugget will continue announcing upcoming renovations and new amenities this week, but no "official timeline" has been set for completing all planned construction given the unexpected hiccups that can occur. However, people can follow the Nugget on Twitter or like them on Facebook to receive frequent updates on the progress of ongoing construction throughout the property.
"There is a lot of big exciting changes happening at the Nugget and we are all really excited about new additions to build on the iconic history the Nugget has built for its customers," Garber said. "We hope the community is just as excited as we are."

Does anyone have/know about bike insurance that covers accidents and theft?
With bikes costing so much, I recently checked w/my homeowners insurance to see if I could add a 'rider' for my bike, but the company does not offer it; so, my agent and I decided to wait until my policy comes up for renewal to shop for a company that does offer it. Presumably, a policy would cover the replacement $$$ of a crash and would ease the settlement of a claim if one is hit by a car, etc.
Maybe I/we shouldn't wait...

Run defense: what's the solution?!
posted at 11/25/2013 10:22 AM EST
Epic win. I lost my voice. I still have a major concern though: our run defense. I know we have key injuries but that won't stop the opposing team from running it down our throat in January. I'd like to pose a question to some of you more intelligent posters here: how do we fix that?

The run defense was fine given the game situation. We were playing like 6 guys in the box on every down with 2 rookies at DT. We made enough stops when we had to. BB rope-a-doped Manning just like he did to Kelly and the Bills in SB 25. Manning never got into a rhythm throwing and they couldn't make the plays in the passing game when it counted. If it weren't for the turnovers I think the defense would have been the story of the game.

Consider this. In regulation the Broncos only had 2 drives that went for over 35 yards. Yeah they gave up 200+ yards rushing but overall it was pretty effective if not for the turnovers that gave the Broncos short fields.

[/QUOTE]It's not THAT bad. You have to take it with this grain of salt: if a team with Demaryus Thomas, Welker, Decker, et al wants to hand the ball off, you just let them and make some tackles.
Granted ... I don't think Denver is the type of offense NE will struggle with, rather teams like Seattle and Carolina will be more vexing.

The 3 main critical cogs for stopping the run game are out for the season. You can't fill their shoes with rookies, you can't make adjustments or schemes to fix that problem. We are going to get run on. All we can hope for is that our D can cause enough turnovers and our O can score enough points to make it a non factor.

I liked what DMC said after the game about staying focused on defending the pass no matter how many times they ran it. Sounded like they were coached not to adjust as Peyton is too good if you are out of position on D. I would like to see Forston get a chance to play an entire game. He looke like more of a run stuffer to me.

[/QUOTE]So you see, the team with the ball, the O F F E N S E m gets 4 tries to make 10 yards. If they cannot the other team takes a turn having the ball. But when a team has tried 3 times and has one more try left they often P U N T the ball so that while they are giving the ball to the other team it will be given to them much further from the G O A L L I N E. And remember Meadow (pretty name) that is the line you want to get past in order to score a T O U C H D O W N.
Now I would suggest you watch the NEw England Patriots play some games. They play the game better than other teams. They dont always have the very best team but not only are they always good they play the best and smartest football of all the teams. On the other hand if you watch a few Jet games you will eventually see many of the bad or even stupid things some teams do.

[/QUOTE]Radioactive/Toxic waste site Mike, looking forward to your report on the Jets power ranking progress this week. I hope it is as epic as the "20 spots" thread that you created a couple of weeks ago.

It can only be adjusted form not fixed till we get some players on the field. Vinny and Kelly and Mayo are critical. FA or draft might help somewhere (o line and D line perhaps).
I do think some of this last night was having the focus on stopping the pass. But there were too many times the DTs got abused. Hightower... who I like very much, had some very bad plays but in part because the O line had easy shots at him due to poor D line play.
Also... Spikes often looked like he was protecting himself some. So he should be more of a help if he recovers before the games are over.

YOu and the team should just ignore them and go have some fun. Maybe go to McDonalds. Or watch some TV. Maybe watch some football. I bet you could watch the Pats in the playoffs this year.

The run defense was 9th in the NFL when Wilfork and Kelly were still healthy, but we we're also the 2nd best defense overall in the NFL; the Jests tool has no clue what he's talking about.
That being said, we are really bad against the run, currently we rank 31st in rushing attempts against, 31st in rushing yards and 26th in yards per attempt. The drop from the top ten is because of the loss of Vince and Kelly. DT is the only weakness on this defense.
That being said we are still the 9th best defense in the NFL, substantially better than our last two Super Bowl appearances when we were ranked 15th and we still can improve. Our pass defense is really good even with all the injuries and rotating guys in and out. I think if we can find someone to replace Vellano as a starter our defensive rank could start rising again...

Active Standard ASTM B557 | Developed by Subcommittee: B07.05
Book of Standards Volume: 02.02
Historical (view previous versions of standard)
Significance and Use
Tension tests provide information on the strength and ductility of materials under uniaxial tensile stresses. This information may be useful in comparisons of materials, alloy development, quality control, and design under certain circumstances.
The results of tension tests of specimens machined to standardized dimensions from selected portions of a part or material may not totally represent the strength and ductility properties of the entire end product or its in-service behavior in different environments.
These test methods are considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments and have been used extensively in the trade for this purpose.
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the tension testing of wrought and cast aluminum- and magnesium-alloy products, excepting aluminum foil , and are derived from Test Methods E8, which cover the tension testing of all metallic materials.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Note 1—Exceptions to the provisions of these test methods may need to be made in individual specifications or test methods for a particular material. Note 2—A complete metric companion to Test Methods B557 has been developed

The Associated Press
MOORE, Okla. — The principal's voice came on over the intercom at Plaza Towers Elementary School: A severe storm was approaching and students were to go to the cafeteria and wait for their parents to pick them up.

Amy Sharp hugs daughter Jenna Dunn, 10, a day after she picked up her children from Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, Okla., which was leveled by a tornado packing winds of up to 200 mph. on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, in Moore, Okla. (AP Photo/Peter Banda)
But before all of the youngsters could get there, the tornado alarm sounded.
The plan changed quickly.
"All the teachers started screaming into the room and saying, 'Get into the hallway! We don't want you to die!' and stuff like that," said sixth-grader Phaedra Dunn. "We just took off running."
In the moments that followed, some of the children at Plaza Towers Elementary would, in fact, die. At least seven were killed by the twister Monday afternoon. Others would crawl out of the rubble, bloodied and bruised, utterly terrified.
The tornado that devastated this Oklahoma City suburb of 56,000 people destroyed Plaza Towers and also slammed Briarwood Elementary, where all the children appear to have survived. Students and parents recounted stories Tuesday of brave teachers who sheltered their pupils, in some cases by herding them into a closet and a restroom amid the fear and panic.
After the tornado alarm went off, students at Plaza Towers scrambled into the halls. But the halls — some of which were within the view of windows — did not appear safe enough.
Sixth-grader Antonio Clark said a teacher took him and as many other youngsters as possible and shoved them into the three-stall boys' bathroom.
"We were all piled in on each other," the 12-year-old said. Another teacher wrapped her arms around two students and held Antonio's hand.
Twenty seconds later he heard a roar that sounded like a stampede of elephants. His ears popped.
Then it all stopped almost as suddenly as it started. Crouched down, his backpack over his head, Antonio looked up. The skylight and the ceiling were gone, and he was staring up into a cloud filled with debris.
Antonio and a friend were among the first to stand up. They climbed over debris where their classroom had been just moments earlier. Students and teachers were struggling to free themselves from under the bricks, wooden beams and insulation. Some people had bleeding head wounds; blood covered one side of someone's eyeglasses, Antonio said.
"Everybody was crying," Antonio said. "I was crying because I didn't know if my family was OK."
Then Antonio saw his father ride up on a mountain bike, yelling his son's name.
Phaedra survived, too. Her mother rushed to the school just moments before the tornado hit, covered Phaedra's head with a blanket to protect her from hail and ushered her out the door. Phaedra's 10-year-old sister, Jenna, didn't want to budge from the school.
The principal "grabbed her backpack, put it over her head and literally said, 'You're mom's going to open the door. Get out. You're safer with your mom,' and pushed her out the door," said Amy Sharp, the girls' mother.
At Briarwood Elementary, the students also went into the halls. But a third-grade teacher didn't think it looked safe, so she herded some of the children into a closet, said David Wheeler, one of the fathers who tried to rush to the school after the tornado hit.
The teacher shielded Wheeler's 8-year-old son, Gabriel, with her arms and held him down as the tornado collapsed the school roof and starting lifting students upward with a pull so strong that it literally sucked glasses off kids' faces, Wheeler said.

Vanderbilt Beach
280 Vanderbilt Beach Rd. , Naples
NAPLES — Vanderbilt Beach Park is scheduled for a $1.2 million restroom makeover, expected to begin next year and be completed the following year.
But until then, beach-goers will have to keep muddling through with the cramped restrooms at the park's entrance, and the weathered wooden boardwalks that lead from parking garage to beach to restroom.
Collier County's parks and recreation department recently replaced the signs on those wooden boardwalks that warn beach-goers that the walkways are susceptible to splintering and raised nail heads. The warnings, placed at walkway entrances a month ago, replaced signs with virtually identical wording, county spokesman John Torre said.
The new signs read: "WARNING: Walk on the boardwalk at your own risk. Because of the nature of its construction the boardwalk may evidence splinters, raised boards, knot holes and nail heads. Because of weather conditions boardwalk may be slippery and or hot."
County staff members also have replaced a couple of the boards in the walkway leading from the beach to the bathroom, though the walkway remains visibly dilapidated by sand, water and wear. Once bearing a coat of dark brown paint, the wood has been worn down by foot traffic, leaving pitted, uneven boards.
Even still, Torre said, the walkway isn't slated for any sort of replacement in light of the new complex slated for construction there.
"(There are) no plans to replace the boardwalk," Torre wrote in an email. "Our risk management department has indicated that they feel the boardwalk still has a useful life."
Beachgoers at Vanderbilt Beach Park say they barely notice the signs, though, and if they do, they still don't worry much about the state of the boardwalks.
What's at stake
Collier County's parks and recreation department recently replaced the signs on those wooden boardwalks that warn beach-goers that the walkways are susceptible to splintering and raised nail heads.
The warnings, placed at walkway entrances a month ago, replaced signs with virtually identical wording, county spokesman John Torre said.
"I think it's useless because I can see it's wood, and it's the only way I reach the shower," said Claudia Wichmann, who was vacationing from Switzerland with her husband, Gerd, and their two children. "So, I take a great risk."
Asked if she felt that walking on the boardwalk was truly a risk, as indicated by the signs, she responded with a laugh: "Not really."
North Naples resident Annie Puco laughed too when she realized that in all the years of her once- or twice-weekly trips to Vanderbilt Beach, she had never noticed the signs.
"I think it's a shame that nowadays you have to protect yourself from lawsuits everywhere you go," Puco said.
Torre didn't respond to a question about how the signs square with the county's legal obligations.
However, Naples attorney Theodore Zelman said there are lawsuits against the county, including ones brought by his firm, that pivot on the issue. Zelman said his firm hasn't filed any lawsuits on behalf of people injured at Vanderbilt Beach Park in particular, but rather on other county-owned property.
"Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonable manner," Zelman said. "Putting a sign up would not absolve them of that responsibility. Property owners also have the responsibility to warn people of a matter about which they have better knowledge."
That being said, Zelman said the county, like any good property owner, is being responsible by warning people.
For visitors to county parks though, it's just another day at the beach.
"They just want to protect themselves," said Gerd Wichmann, the tourist visiting with his family from Switzerland. "I think it's more an American thing (to be worried about lawsuits.) It's not really a European thing."
