Former Mayor Ed Koch passed away earlier this morning at the age of 88. The Bronx-born former three-term mayor is credited with steering New York City out of the financial crisis in the late 1970s. He was combative at times, endearing at others, and always opinionated.
How will you remember Ed Koch? What did he mean for New York City? What story or moment with Koch is the most memorable for you?

I remember when I first arrived in New York as a young girl John Lindsey was mayor, and then Ed Koch, and I remember being disappointed that Ed Koch was not as handsome as John Lindsey. It was snowing heavily, and I really wasn't thinking of mayors, but I remember Koch at that time clearly. But I loved Ed Koch! He was an authentic human being besides being brilliant, and I loved his integrity, that he was not politically correct. He didn't speak in euphemisms, and he was very funny and to the point. I've attached a scene of New York at that time from my prose memoir, Sugaring Off, about a young girl's adventures in New York, that currently appears in Hotel Amerika, a cutting edge literary magazine out of Chicago. It's called "Candle Dip Day" about the heat wave. Son of Sam was on the loose. It brings back memories of Koch that summer. I am so sorry for his death. I didn't personally know him, but I miss him!
Others may hold the office, but Ed Koch will always be the mayor of New York.
JayMurray Hill
I actually used it as a valuable NYC lesson in class.
My students and I have driven over the bridge named after him.
They were saddened to hear of his passing.
I will remember him as the mayor who saved this city. The people's mayor.
May he rest in peace.
The passing of former Mayor Ed Koch is truly very sad news. During his distinguished career as a Congressman and Mayor,he always had a very upbeat ,candid attitude with everyone. He always spoke his mind,and even if you did not agree with him,you had to respect him. He took no guff from anyone. He certainly was a very important part of New York City's political history,and he will be sorely missed. In my opinion,the mayor did just great!
JohnFresh Meadows
Mayor Koch was the most honest politician of my lifetime. He was always professional , cordial and funny. His personality was of a kind ,caring, funny human being. " How am I doing?" Will be his favorite lasting comment
Jessica. Arden Heights.
I remember seeing Ed Koch with Bess Myerson many years ago. After his term as mayor ,I would see him around the village, at movie theatre with a gang of friends, and eating out at local restaurants. He certainly knew how to enjoy his life.
Rosalie from Canarsie.
I'll remember Koch as a good mayor for most of his first term, when he was needed -- but also as the mayor who ran opposing Westway, and then turned around to embrace Westway; and, in that connection, as the mayor who sold out the populace to the real estate interests, when it came time to run for his second term; as the mayor who SWORE up and down he would never run for any other job when he sought re-election in 1981, and then turned right around and announced he was running for governor (a race that -- thankfully for the state -- he lost in the primary); and, finally, as the mayor who just skated past the scandals involving his appointees in his second and third terms. Good riddance to the Mouth That Roared, I say. And it's to NY1's discredit that they gave him a platform most weeks over the last few years on Tuesday nights. Given that he was rejected by his own party twice, once in that race for governor and then in his run for a fourth term, it was ridiculous -- seeing him on your show was like dealing with a really stubborn strain of VD that just wouldn't leave the body, no matter how many anti-biotics one tries. Bruce Upper West Side
I will remember him all the many times I've seen him at St. Patrick's Cathedral when I was a volunteer there. He was an "Honorary Catholic" (said Cardinal O'Connor)! And all the times we'd run into him on 6th Ave. when he used to go to his law office. Never needed an entourage like other mayors did/do!We'll all miss him!
Dina and Ed of Throggs Neck
I guess I was a Koch baby; I was born the year Ed Koch was elected mayor. He was the first politician I ever knew. To me, Koch was New York City like yellow cabs and the '86 Mets. Koch was New York like pigeons, pretzels and pizza. As ubiquitous as the old school blue-and-white paper coffee cup, emblazoned with "We Are Happy To Serve You." Koch was as New York as a Times Square saxophone and subway steam. He was an inimitable icon who dedicated his life to service and led our city through some very dark days – blemishes, faults, shortcomings and all. It wasn't all peaches and cream: his three terms in office were also marked by the rise in HIV and AIDS, racial tumult, homelessness and high crime. But Koch was never one to back down from a fight and he always did what he felt was right. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family today.
I think he was one of the biggest crooks the city had, in his last term of mayor 90% of his cabinet was either indicted or prosecuted, he represented one of the biggest dinosaurs of N.Y.C pay to play politician, I also believe he was a closet gay man, which is his prerogative. He was the most influential comical Mayors this city had. So long Koch, go in peace to the purdue farm where u will find all your bird like friends.
Dex from Queens
Former Mayor Ed Koch is fondly remembered for his independence and non-partisan attributes. He speaks his mind and never minces his word. I had the privilege of meeting him once and became an admirer. A true wise-guy, not only because of the weekly show he appears on NY 1 news, but because throughout his political life has demonstrated great courage, independence and savvy in his political pronouncements and analysis. No doubt, he is now immortalized in Ed Koch Queensboro Br. Rest in Peace, Mayor Koch.
George, LeFrak City
Ed Koch was the first person I ever voted for in NYC..I had moved from Philadelphia in 1973 just out of high school to study theatre and at some point registered to vote in New York and the 1977 mayoral race was my first election..I know that Mayor Koch changed the city in so many positive ways..he put NYC back on the map again and restored it once again as the greatest city in the world! I think the" I love NY" theme and the song's New York, New York , Native New Yorker and New York State of Mind all became popular in the late 70's ....I'll always remember the "How my doing" phase he always asked!
With his passing brings so many memories of a different time....when he became Mayor he brought back a pride to this city and during his years as mayor I fell in love with this city and became a New Yorker...While I didn't agree with everything he did, I feel he will definitely go down in history was one of our truly greatest mayors, he left his mark, he made a difference!
Debbie South Street Seaport
I will remember Mayor Koch for his humor and flamboyant ways, and although the city faced many obstacles during his tenure, his positive attitude did help in the city's recovery and to maintain its stature as the "big apple".
Felix Bay Ridge
I remember being at Ed Koch's inauguration. He started the revival of the city.
LawrenceHoward Beach
My first encounter with Ed Koch is when he was our Congressman on the Lower East Side. The row of buildings behind ours had been torn down, but the rubble and glass were never removed. On top of that, private trash companies were dumping garbage there. The area was a magnet for kids, which worried the whole neighborhood. We appealed to many city officials to fix the situation, but they did nothing. It was Ed Koch who got the area cleaned up and fenced off and warnings posted about no dumping. The community was able to plant a garden there. Later, I remember with admiration his reluctance to give up his apartment to move to Gracie Mansion and the many times I'd run into him walking around Greenwich Village. He never had a big entourage like other city officials; it was just him by himself or with a friend. And he never put on airs; he would greet people neighbor to neighbor. I disagreed with him many many times, but I always respected him as a person of integrity. He never hid what he thought; you always knew exactly where you stood with him. Lots of people are saying, "Rest in peace." I'd prefer to say, "Rest in contentiousness." I don't think he'd have it any other way. MarthaChelsea
... he remarked that the Twin Towers should be rebuilt, but "It's not going to happen." Unfortunately, so far, he is right.
JoePort Richmond, SI
I never met him but I feel so sad, as if I lost a family member. He was irrepressible, doing the best he could and fearless in asking, "How'm I doing?" He wanted to know.
The passing of Ed Koch: My parent's generation had LaGuardia. My generation had Koch. A mayor of the people and for the people, unlike the elitist "star" mayor, uncomfortable when he's anywhere near the public that this generation had to endure for 12 years. Rest in peace Ed Koch.
A few years ago, at my urging, my brother, who works at Bloomberg, arranged for Ed Koch to read his children's book "Harold: Eddie's Little Brother" to my Library students at PS41 in Greenwich Village. We were all pretty excited as Mayor Koch sat down in front of the kids and started to read. After a few pages, scowling, he stopped and said he didn't want to finish reading. He said, "Let them read it themselves," but I informed him that it was customary for a guest reader to FINISH THE BOOK! He did, and then, when done, he refused to stay for the cookies and juice we had. Oy! Ed Koch!
I came of age in NYC during his term as Mayor.
I remember his optimism; he was fun, and I think his spirit and spunk really rubbed off on New Yorkers during that time.
Though he was a powerful man and a force to be reckoned with, he was also a very realperson, who was kind and very approachable.
I am very saddened by his death.
R.I.P. Mayor Koch. BarriJackson Heights
Ed Koch was one of the greatest Mayor's the City has ever had and was the most down to earth, just to share a story with you........in the early 80s I was the Advance person to the Mayor and he was slated to meet the Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi at the Carlyle Hotel. I got to the Carlyle about 45 minutes before the Mayor to make sure everything was set up and the Prime Minister came out and said "so nice of you to be here" and invited me to sit down to have tea with her. I told her that I couldn't do that because it was the Mayor's meeting with her not mine. When the Mayor arrived the Prime Minister shared the fact that she had invited me to sit and have tea with her and the Mayor turned to me and said "Jim you could have sat down and had tea with her". It really would have been ok with him.
I went up to Gracie Mansion this afternoon to pay tribute to my Ma-ya but no one was there.
The last time I was at Gracie Mansion I was about 16 years old in 1988 and was sitting in the kitchen of the mayor's house looking after two young girls belonging to volunteers of the Mansion's events planning. As I called out "don't eat all the mayor's chocolate chip cookies" the man himself walked in with staff and one of the aides asked what I was reading about in the NYT. I replied the article was about AIDS but at the time didn't realize the significance of my response ...
What makes me a New Yorker is that I was born at NYU hospital and that I grew up in 1970s Manhattan with Ed Koch as our mayor.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned in all the retrospective on Mayor Koch's legacy is that it was under his administration that the City's Recycling program started. Also he took the bold step in a December 1987 live radio show of challenging McDonald's to eliminate the use of Styrofoam in their packaging (remember the McDLT commercials: "keep the hot hot and the cold cold") and just weeks later signed an Executive Order banning the use of Styrofoam in City Agencies. He convinced the Board of Education, then under State control, to follow his lead, and foam school cafeteria trays were replaced with paper. Unfortunately, Mayor Koch was never able to pass the bans into law through the City Council and the Executive Order expired at the end of his term and was not re-instated by the next mayor (and foam products were reintroduced). Mayor Koch had a lot of his characteristic Chutzpah in taking on the plastics industry for the sake of the environment and he should also be remembered for that.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mayor Koch when he was visiting a judge who was a patient on the floor when I worked at Columbia Presbyterian about 18 years ago. I remember being struck by how tall he was! He was so lovely, and so funny! Just a real charming New Yorker. Quite a character he was! I was so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be fondly remembered by me, and I'm sure many, many fellow New Yorkers.
We are all saddened this day. Ed Koch was truly deserves the title Mayor of Mayors of the City of New York.
RafaelJackson Heights, Queens
I had the honor of working in the NYC Mayor's Office of Operations during the last 5 years of the Koch mayoralty. As Ruth Messinger said on NY1 earlier, he picked brilliant people for leadership positions. They were also collegial, easy to work with, and nice.
Bravo to Ed!
Jim, Turtle Bay
Notwithstanding my sincerest condolences on his passing and great respect for most of his legacy, his inaction during the AIDS crisis, for whatever reasons, is a stain on that legacy. Rest in Peace!
Mayor koch was one of the most pleasant mayors this city ever had.I had the pleasure of meeting the mayor in whitestone park.
I will always remember the mayor for his pleasant personality and he really loved this city and it showed!
Rose Age 93
Former Mayor Koch has left us and has serve our great city well. In fact I think we are much better off to of had former Mayor Koch who was around when most needed. I think when Koch gets to heaven he might say to God," How am I doing."! I think the answer would be," You'll done well. Frederick Glen Oaks
He was a REAL New York mayor. If you walked up to him and said, "Hi Mr. Mayor", he'd smile and shake your hand and talk to you. He actually cared not only for New York but ALL New Yorkers. Our last two mayors would rather die than spend 1 second with an everyday run of the mill New Yorker. He was New York.
Norm Upper East side
6 months after I first moved in to NYC from Japan in 1989, mayor left the city hall.
My first boyfriend back then didn't know how to pronounce mayor's name correct and kept telling me "Mayor Coach was great"
"If Mayor Coach was still our Mayor..." almost everyday.
Ever since Mayor Koch is "Mayor Coach" in my brain.
24 years has passed and now I still think about him every time I pass by COACH store in the city.
We'll all miss you mister Mayor.
I owned and operated my own medallion cab during THE Mayor's terms in office. I also had a bully pulpit in a monthly trade publication, where I relentlessly criticized him for his taxi and other transportation policies. I often referred to him as "Mr. Ed".
After he left office however, I grew to truly admire the man. Easily the most honorable politician ever to hold the mayoralty. Never afraid to speak his mind. Even when he didn't get it right. The man had chutzpah!
New York would do well if more of us thought and acted the way he did. None before him or since are worthy of the moniker Hizzoner. I am deeply saddened by his passing.
RichDyker Heights
I remember during a drought when I was a kid in Brooklyn, Mayor Koch told everyone, "If it's yellow. it's mellow. If it's brown flush it down." I never forgot that.
Aside from being a crotchety SOB and cross-eyed wrong on Presidential politics in the new millennium (he endorsed Bush and Obama?), I'll say this for that old crotchety SOB -- Mayor Koch was the only person who could beat Alan Dershowitz in an argument.
Canaan Manhattan
I was born in the 70's on Long Island so my memory of Ed Koch as Mayor is foggy. But I always remember him being an active New Yorker. I loved watching him as one of the wise guys on NY1. He had a super sharp mind and a fantastic sense of humor. I keep thinking of a video snippet from NY1 of him calling out, "Welcome to my bridge! Welcome to my bridge!"
Mayor Koch's bridge is arguably the toughest mile+ of the NYC Marathon. I will dedicate that mile to him in my training runs over the bridge this year and November 3, 2013 when I run the marathon.
Lisa, UWS
I was a Queens County resident when Mayor Koch ran for mayor. I voted for him. My brother, Freddy, God rest his soul, was a volunteer at Lincoln Hospital and he applied for a job there. After having put multiple employment applications and having taken and passing a civil service test for mortuary assistant and not getting a response, he wrote to Mayor Koch, who looked into the situation and weeks later, my brother got the job. Another time, my family were having a financial crisis in which we were struggling to meet our gas bill payments to National Grid, then called Brooklyn Union Gas. We wrote to Mayor Koch and he got them to cut us a break. He was truly the people's mayor and he will be sorely missed.
CeciliaEast Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY
Mayor Bloomberg should learn from Ed Koch, the real mayor for New Yorkers.
Mayor Koch set the tone for my civil service career, by starting the Urban Park Rangers in 1979, when 100 of us formed that first class, which included former Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe. In 2004, Mayor Koch attended our 25th Urban Park Ranger reunion at the Central Park Boathouse, making for a special and memorable evening, in which he provided photo ops. Lorraine
I remember when Ed Koch was running for his second term and some reporter questioned how much he really wanted the job. Koch's reply: "I would swim through slime to be Mayor."
I wasn't alive in the 80s, but I remember seeing him as a child ten years ago in the documentary film, "The Center of the World" by Ric Burns when he talked about his thoughts on 9/11. Koch's comments were very moving and I saw a unique, sympathetic and emotional personality in him amidst all his famous abrasive ways. He actually, believe it or not, had a soft side. A few years later, a message was left on our machine that was Koch's voice. I'm not sure if it was really him or a voicemail, but nonetheless, that was some experience even though I don't remember what the message was about. I'll never forget seeing him a few times on "Road to City Hall." He had a unique personality and thats what made him such a charismatic and charming leader and he was the hope of New York in tough times. I will truly miss seeing him on television and in the media. R.I.P.
Matthew, Woodside, Queens
I was married to a sport photographer in the 1980's and would get invited to events from time to time. There was an party for the Mets on the far west side and I was running late. Wearing a very short skirt and very high heels, I was striding along at a furious clip. A tall man, waiting out front for his car, called out, "I love your New York City strut!" I laughed and kept going. I realized a minute later that man was Mayor Koch!
SuzanneWashington Heights(formerly Chelsea)
The City has suffered a loss and I will miss his physical presence on your show!
In the mid 1990's I had the pleasure of meeting Mayor Koch as he exited a movie house at 3rd and East 11 Street. He was gracious and even chatted about the movie he had seen!
God bless him and I will go and "visit him"!!!!
Michelle in Crown Heights
I do know that everything was not okay and so I would rather not say anything negative. The only thing is that he did hand the city over to the landlords. That I and many of my friends and family at the time were not to pleased and we are still paying high rents until this day. It's as though a rubber stamp was put on it.
That's why I will just leave it at that.
You and Earl did a nice job in the interview and it was an honest and classy one by both. maxxieemp
A 1981 letter from mayor Edward I Koch:
December 9, 1981
Dear Kenny, there's always time to thank people like you for their wonderful letters. I deeply appreciated yours and am glad that you love your city, your school and your lunch. If I were you, I should feel the same way. All the best,
Sincerely,Ed Koch

After all this time, it is still pretty tough to be a small business startup nowadays, but I know there are people out there who have not only survived, but are flourishing! If you had to pick one item from your "bag of tricks" for survival in this economy, what would it be? I have talked with a few "survivors" and 'thrivers" and everyone has a unique trick to producing profits in tough times - mine has been absolute doggedness and persistence to the customer to ensure their satisfaction, then when they are singing your praises at some point, ask for the referral, right then, what can they do?! But, let's hear yours...
Our "trick" has been to reccommit to customer service with our existing customers. Why?
We have expanded the use of our CRM to ensure it focuses on existing customers as much as it did on leads and prospects. This has included the development of communication triggers to make sure no one slips through the cracks and that everyone has regular personalized communication with our team. |
My answer is: focus, focus, focus. What does your customer really want? Get down to the final, final goal of your customer and then take responsibility for delivering that. This is why some quality auto manufacturers offer free service packages with their new cars. I don't want a car, I want a reliable way to get to work. For it to be a reliable ride, it has to stay in good working order. They take responsibility not just to sell me a car but to make sure that the car keeps delivering what I really want: reliable transportation. The companies that survive own the end thing that the customer wants from their product or service. My kids used to have the chore to clean the kitchen after dinner. One night I noticed that the kitchen table was dirty after they were done. Their excuse? "We cleaned the table!" My response? "The objective was not to clean the table, it was to get the table clean!" If you take ownership of "getting the table clean" for you customer, you stand a much better chance in a down economy. And since many of your competitors are only focused on "cleaning the table", you will have the best shot and surviving and thriving. |
Get to revenue AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Nothing kills morale, progress, etc as fast as doing all that work and not seeing money coming in. Money troubles add more stress and issues (to an already stressful workplace) |
I would say this is the most important aspect for any business and any time. Know your niche customer base, understand their needs. and try to provide best possible value by going beyond their expectations and with lower than their expected price. This is the key to the success at all times, in tough economic situations.. it is more important. |

Camrock represents the best rocker/camber combination in snowboarding today, and has taken our entire board line up a notch. This tried and true camber variant will not disappoint for overall mountain performance. With camber between the bindings and rocker evenly distributed in the nose and tail, this is the all-mountain, all-conditions camber that will leave you stoked and smiling from ear to ear. Standard Camrock is the camber choice of our pro team and staff. It is the best hybrid rocker/camber profile on the market today - bar...
By reducing the wood and fiberglass in the nose and tail, and by reinforcing them with lighter, yet stronger, materials such as carbon fiber, Free Flex technology allows us to lighten up the board significantly while increasing strength, durability, and pop. Free Flex also dampens vibrations and provides a unique, light feel in turn transitions, due to its reduced thickness and profile.

By strategically positioning five bumps along the board's effective edges instead of using a more conventional serration, we have created enhanced reactivity in all conditions. As a result, you will have more control of your board and way more fun! Better grip anytime, anywhere. More hold and...
This fiberglass, produced especially for Nidecker, allows more effective edge response and overall control. We added a bi-directional carbon fabric to allow for more finely tuned responsiveness. This is the premium fiber composite used in snowboards today.
The optimal mix of vibration-dampening and reactivity, the Multi is made with pride in Switzerland. This light triaxial glass, exclusive to Nidecker, incorporates a multi-layered, multi-axis fiberglass that is stitched together, resulting in a straight fiber laminate.
This is a hybrid shape, combining the Twin-Tip and the Directional shapes. It will give you the float and control of a Directional shape, but with a twin "feel" that helps you perform better switch. The stiffness is Twin, but the inserts have a small setback like the Directional.
MasterCore construction is the result of our long history of experimentation in materials and woodcraft. It is the perfect harmony of different wood densities and wood species, which lightens up the core and results in a superior weight-to-performance-to-power ratio and an ultra-strong, uber-responsive, yet lightweight, core.
A fast material with a diamond-textured finish, this base is all about speed and the ability to take a beating. It also has superior wax absorption qualities.
Die-cut is a base-assembly process in which we cut out different shapes of base material, and then pièce them together to create bright, appealing base designs.
Duraclear The most popular topsheet on the market, the Duraclear is strong and tough, able to withstand constant punishment. Polyamid Only available without varnish, this topsheet is our lightest and most durable. Carbon We use carbon fiber topsheets to help create some of the strongest and lightest boards in the world.
Our edges have 35% more steel than typical edges, which means that they have two and a half times the impact resistance of other edges offered on the market today.
The industry standard sidewall, durable and reliable.

Haven taken their initial idea and catapulted it to critical acclaim, the team behind Ultimate Spelling™ reflects on the sweet fruits of their labor.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) May 01, 2012
In the post-recession world, not every idea has the potential to become a roaring success. The opposite can be said for the team behind Ultimate Spelling™, now leading the way with their spelling improvement software platform.
In just a few short years the company has grown from an initial idea to a market-leading modern success story. However, the man behind the concept doesn't let the success allow him to become complacent.
"Our initial idea was to create spelling improvement software that made children want to learn. We really had a desire to help others," says Marc Slater, Managing Director of the company behind Ultimate Spelling™.
He continues, "We have now grown the company to become world leaders in our field. However, we don't put the numbers down to us – but instead to the thousands of people around the world who have chosen to take a pro-active approach to online learning."
The company's software is already being used in thousands of homes, schools and learning centres around the United States and the world. By allowing children to inspire themselves to want to learn, the team believe they hit a very person home run with their customers.
"We are delighted that people are actively choosing to improve their spelling, and also investing in tools to help them do it. It's a true testament to the advantages that modern technology can bring to the youth of today," Slater adds.
The company actually set up shop 'down under' in Australia, quickly advancing to dominate the North American market as they released global versions of their products.

The Lady Lions missed an opportunity to pick up a win Tuesday as Atoka went on a 23-12 fourth quarter run to slip past Durant 52-46.
The Lady Cats put three players in double figures, but trailed the Lady Lions until the final minutes of the game. Durant Coach Chad Rumer called it a tale of two halves.
"In the first half, we played well, went under the bucket and kept our turnovers down," he said. "In the second half, we did little things here and there that added up. It's one of those things we'll learn from and get better in practice. We're young and inexperienced and we've got to learn from those mistakes."
Rylie Richards led the Lady Lions with 13 points and nine rebounds. Sierra Wilhite scored nine, Katie Caraway had seven points and seven boards, and Morgan Steve scored six on a pair of three-point plays in the third which built the Durant lead to double digits.
"I thought we did well on their big people," Rumer said of the physical play of Steve and Richards. "Both of them were physical underneath and able to get some boards."
Despite cold shooting in the first quarter, the Lady Lions took the early 11-10 lead. They shot smarter in the second, going 6-for-12 and taking a 24-17 lead at halftime. The lead hit eleven before Atoka made the run which would eventually undo Durant.
Other scorers for the Lady Lions: Rheagan Jones and Alexa Richards scored four each and Shelbi Barrett scored three. Durant (0-1) travels to Duncan for a 6 p.m. Friday game.

Club competitions
National team competitions
Nationality: MNEBorn : 17.09.1979Place of birth: Niksic (MNE) Height: 1.92mPosition: PG
Veteran guard Goran Jeretin continues to be one of the main performers for Montenegro as evidenced last summer when he averaged double digits during the Qualifying Round and not only showcased his perimeter shooting but also managed 3.1 assists per game to verify his excellent court vision and awareness. Almost always productive due to his ability to find ways to score in multiple situations on the court, Jeretin is also a physical player who provides strong defence at the other end of the floor. Well liked by the fans for his aggressive and committed approach to the game, he is an experienced performer at the highest level having played for big teams around Europe and in European club competition, reaching the EuroChallenge Final earlier this year. Jeretin should continue to be one of the primary weapons for Montenegro at EuroBasket 2011.

Electronic Retention Policy

Source: TechRepublic Pro
The use and importance of e-mail and electronic documents in day-to-day communications between organizations continues to grow. While businesses used to be concerned solely with the retention and disposal of paper records, the management of e-mail and other electronic communication is quickly supplanting those paper documents.
While many organizations rely on software that automatically deletes and destroys e-mail after a certain time, far more businesses count on their employees to manually remove e-mail and other old documents from individual computers and company networks.
This policy defines requirements for retaining electronic documents available to all within the organization.

Little India and more in Kuala Lumpur
Waiting in Kuala Lumpur to obtain a visa from the embassy of Myanmar, I visited the Petronas Towers, something which I consider a truly beautiful architecture.
It was not possible to go up, but I really enjoyed exploring around them taking pictures of people who work there.
The architecture of Kuala Lumpur is a blend of old colonial influences, Asian traditions, Islamic inspirations, modern and postmodern design.
It is a relatively young city compared to other Southeast Asian capitals like Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila, most of Kuala Lumpur's colonial buildings were built in the last two centuries.
Independence coupled with rapid economic growth from 1970 to 1990 and Islam as the official religion of the country, has led to the construction of buildings around the city with a local Islamic flavor.
Modern and postmodern architecture began to appear towards the end of 1990 and the beginning of the year 2000.
With the economic development of the old buildings were razed to make way for new ones.
I was not impressed by the visit to the temple Thean Hou, I find this Chinese places of worship very tacky, instead I thoroughly enjoyed the hours spent in Little India.
Little India is a really interesting place to visit in Kuala Lumpur, especially if you want to eat something vegetarian, of course with all the colors around you is also a good opportunity to take photographs.
You will not regret this place.
- the images have been realized using a digital SLR Canon 450D, wait to load completely the page before click on the photos, be aware that it can take several seconds -

Rochester's Fire Department officially has a new leader. Mayor Tom Richards announced Sam Mitrano as Rochester's Fire Chief at City Hall on Friday afternoon.
Mitrano served as Deputy Fire Chief with the department for five years, before filling his role as interim Fire Chief for the last six months.
"It's the proudest moment in my career. I've been associated with the fire service for 33 years, a member of the Rochester Fire Department for 25 and a half," said Mitrano.
Mitrano has served the department for more than 25 years, working up the ranks. City leaders say he was hired from a pool of 16 diverse candidates from various states. He and two other finalists were recommended to the mayor, who had the final say. "We put in these people significant trust. We put life and death in their hands and if they are competent and capable that's important to this city but it's important individually to the citizens," said Tom Richards, (D) Rochester Mayor.
Mitrano will lead the Rochester Fire Department's nearly 500 employees. City leaders say he stood out because of his leadership skills and experience. "He has the qualifications to lead the department long term. Number two, we can hit the ground running because there's not going to be any kind of adjustment period, he's been the interim six months now," said Joe Luna, RFD Captain.
Mitrano's appointment must be approved by City Council next. City leaders say after that he'll be sworn in as the Fire Department's new Chief.

Dr. John C. Lilly's book "Man and Dolphin" would be excellent reading for anyone. He presents the hypothesis that man's first interspecies communication may well occur right here on Earth with Tursiops truncatus (the Atlantic bottle nosed dolphin). He worked with these animals for years. :-)

I have benefited from their protectiveness when a teenager and laughed with them as they gently played with the girl on the sand bar. They simply enjoy us and as for me I delight in them as well.

January 05 2013 at 3:30 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIn the 60s, I became fascinated by John C Lilly and his dolphin research and consequently read a lot on dolphins and their known enemy the shark. Through history, there are accounts of wild dolphins which have rescued humans at sea, protected humans, played with the young in bays, and cooperatively sent scores of fish into fisherman nets. So this is not a surprise.An irony is the scientific "knowledge" written on dolphin behavior when most of it is from dolphins in captivity. Dolphins have been helpful to man but there have also been times, especially when military tries to use them, that humans learn dolphins like sharks bite. What does surprise my of late is the scientific articles noting things long known as though they were new.

Monday's fire burns four acres, crews monitor area
According to Eric Ewing, Susanville Interagency Fire Center Battalion Chief, the fire burned toward town as it crossed the river and caused numerous spot fires by the bike path near River Street.
The fire began at approximately 2:45 p.m. and was contained at 6 p.m. that evening. The cause is under investigation.
The fire started in the jurisdiction of the Susan River Fire Protection District and burned into the city and was a combination effort between Susan River and the Susanville Fire Department in managing the fire during its peak, according to Ewing.
No structures were lost and no one was injured.
According to Ewing, representatives from SPI are on site today setting up a sprinkler system at the millpond to help put the fire out. An engine and hand crews are still on scene and Lassen National Forest has extended an engine for patrol today.
Residents did experience a power outage during the fire when Lassen Municipal Utility District (LMUD) cut power to the Riverside Drive and Richmond Road areas.
Theresa Phillips, LMUD energy services manager explained it was a precautionary measure because a downed power line could cause issues for the emergency crews on scene.
Phillips said one pole was burned, but there was no severe damage.
The fire also forced the evacuation of residents at Country Villa Riverview on River Street, which Ewing said was precautionary due to exposure, smoke and the threat of a power outage. Lassen Rural Bus provided the evacuation transportation.
Agencies from all over the county responded to fight the fire.
In addition to resources from the Susan River Fire Protection District and the Susanville Fire Department, other fire departments included the California Correctional Center, Standish Litchfield, Janesville, Milford, Herlong, Sierra Army Depot, Calfire's Lassen Modoc Unit and the Lassen National Forest.
The Shasta Trinity National Forest Strike Team also responded and Ewing explained the crew was in the area returning to Redding from an assignment in Colorado and called to see if they could help. Ewing said there were 12 engines, four water tender, two hand crews and various fire chiefs.
Other agencies assisting with the fire were the Lassen County Office of Emergency Services, California Department of Corrections, California Highway Patrol, Susanville Police Department, Lassen County Sheriff's Office and the health department.

Part 2 of the glorious gem that is the Fear of Tigers remix back catalogue is here, and sooo worth the wait! I've rediscovered how intensely I love his bittersweetly beautiful version of Ellie Goulding 'Lights' and rejoiced in replaying his recent remix of Bright Light Bright Light's 'Disco Moment', as well as falling in love with a few lovelies that I HADN'T heard before, including the remixes of Vanbot and Studio Killer.
There are also great reworks of Sound of Arrows and Queen of Hearts, who Fear of Tigers will be performing with at 93 Feet East in London this Friday. I haven't actually seen him perform live yet and the combination of all the acts on the lineup is IMMENSE, so I can't wait for this one! Any London followers who like nu disco, house or electro – this is an absolute must-see!
Download the whole set here, and roll on Friday!!!

COLUMBIA — United Way of the Midlands has named Mike Brenan as the 2012 Humanitarian of the Year Award recipient. Brenan will be recognized Feb. 28 at the 29th annual United Way of the Midlands Humanitarian of the Year dinner and award ceremony at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.
Brenan currently serves as president of BB&T South Carolina. He began his banking career in 1975, and in 1988 he became the president and CEO of Bank One. In 1994 he became chairman, president, and CEO of MainStreet Financial Corporation, a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Virginia.
When BB&T Corporation acquired MainStreet in 1998, Brenan moved to Columbia to assume his role with BB&T as the state/group president.
"Mike has made and continues to make an impact on his adopted community and state," said Mac Bennett, president and CEO of United Way of the Midlands. "As a community we are fortunate to be the beneficiary of his many gifts and talents."
Brenan, a past chairman at United Way of the Midlands, has been dedicated to public service since his arrival in Columbia. His most recent contribution to the community's continued growth has been his efforts in regards to public transportation.
As chair of the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce this past year, he led the initiative of the Chamber and secured backing from other business leaders to promote the sales tax referendum in support of a thriving public transportation system, new roadways, traffic improvements, greenways and pedestrian nodes.
Holt Chetwood, Midlands Market president/business banking manager for Wells Fargo, submitted Brenan's name for the award.
"Mike is credited with assuring that the Chamber and other business leaders kept their focus on public transportation," said Chetwood. "His commitment to our community's most at risk citizens can be seen through his work in this area."
Brenan is also a past chairman of United Way Association of South Carolina and is Gov. Nikki Haley's appointee to the South Carolina Board of Education. He currently serves as chairman of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce.
In the past, Brenan has held leadership positions at the University of South Carolina's Moore School of Business Partnership Foundation, Claflin University, Midlands Business Leadership Group, Midlands Housing Alliance, Palmetto Business Forum, InvestSC, South Carolina Bankers Association and South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities.
He is currently involved with Central SC Alliance, the Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Foundation, SC Economics, Palmetto AgriBusiness Council, Clemson University President's Advisory Council, SC BIPEC and the Trinity Forum in Washington, D.C.
"Mike is a man of strong faith and the highest character," said Chetwood. "He is a great example of servant leadership, and we are fortunate to have a community leader like him in the Midlands."
Brenan is married to Julie Wyatt, and they have four children: Erin, Andrew, Rob and Molly.
The Humanitarian of the Year Award is presented every year to someone who has exhibited extraordinary service and philanthropy in the Midlands. Nominations are accepted beginning in October and a selection committee from United Way of the Midlands leadership givers, The Palmetto Society, collectively decide on the recipient.
The black tie event begins at 6:30 p.m. Advanced registration is required and available at uway.org. Tickets are $65 per person. To register, go to www.uway.org or contact Katie Bullard at 803-733-5419.

Re: MIJ Classifieds thread
Tried selling this 2000 MIJ epi goldtop on the bay in Aus for $710 + shipping which is what it cost me from Japan inc shipping and fee's.
Due to lack of knowledge from buyers in Aus I think they'd rather pay 1000+ for a gibby studio So i'll offer it here for $750 shipped within Aus and I'll throw in a hardcase. Or if your an interested buyer from elsewhere then $700 plus shipping with hardcase. Pm if interested Cheers. Mij epi gt - a set on Flickr |

Re: MIJ Classifieds thread
The yj listing says something about "lines around" the back of the neck.
"There are lines that wound around the back of the nut. 目視では塗装のみと思われ、木部にまでは達していないように思います。 The only visual is expected to paint until the wood has not been reached it seems." Looks like a finish crack. Looks like a solid top burst, but I could be wrong. Should be a good $800-900 for someone, loaded up with Screamin's. |

Re: MIJ Classifieds thread
Well, it looks like i gotta put another one on the chopping block. this time it's my wonderful Tokai made M'seeker let's play model. this guitar is a 1995 as far as i can tell by the pot codes, is identical in construction to the tokai ls75q i had, and by the specs it would be a ls60 if it had tokai on the headstock. it is a lightweight very resonant les paul at 8 lbs 12oz. solid 2 piece top, 3 piece back, and has a fat c neck, gotoh tunomatic bridge to replace the sagging oem one. I upgraded the truss rod cover to a gibson historic, replaced the gotoh mk 2 pafs with gfs alnico 2's, upgraded the caps to cornell dubilier "greenies" .018uf. new archtop hardshell case. it has some chips (thanks rinkya) and scratches, but nothing major and no breaks, or issues. a solid, wonderful playing and sounding les paul, that has a great tone. $750 shipped/paypal gift or +3% fee with upgrades and case, or $625 shipped/paypal gift or +3% fee without upgrades and japanese canvas gig bag. PM for more info or pics. Thanks! ryan

Re: MIJ Classifieds thread
Good point James. Will do that now. I've been trying to decide for ages which ObG I was going to keep, the 57 or 59...both sound fantastic but he 59 has a bit more edge, which suites my style more than the smoother sounding 57.

Haha get a smaller dog, best choice as your dog is used to you two only
If you get one of equal size, there might be some jealousy issues which can get ugly. If the 2nd new dog is smaller the 1st dog tends to not feel threatened. |

The United States government was reported late last week to have warned the Tanzanian government against Iranian ships' continued use of its national flag.
Iranian ships have lately been reported to be using the Tanzanian flag in bursting sanctions slapped on the Middle East nation by the US and the European Union over its continued involvement in nuclear development.
Although Iran insists that its nuclear research is confined to peaceful use, Western powers, backed by the United Nations, maintain that Iran's refusal to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was a clear indication that the nation had ulterior motives.
According to whispers, they are therefore not completely surprised by the reflagging of Iranian ships with Tanzania flags as this is not the first time the East African nation has been accused of playing a role in sanction-bursting.
For instance, during the Burundi peace process which was brokered by the Father of the Nation, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, in the 1990s one high-ranking Tanzanian government official was accused by Mwalimu of being involved in sanction-bursting. The leader is reported to have been caught red-handed providing fuel through his fleet of tankers to Burundi, which was then reeling under the effect of sanctions imposed by the then Organization of African Unity (OAU), the predecessor to the African Union (AU).
Mwalimu is reported to have confronted the senior Tanzanian government leader and asked him to what extent he was helping the peace process. Whispers have it that the leader who was confronted by Mwalimu in the 1990s is still in government, which is currently being accused by the United States of helping the Iranian government in bursting sanctions imposed by the United Nations on the nation.
The Tanzanian government is known to have acquired fuel on loan from the Iranian government about two decades ago. However, to date it is not known whether that loan has ever been settled. What is more, it is very much unlikely that Iranian ships used Tanzanian flags without seeking clearance from Tanzania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The point is, the person responsible for the foreign docket owes the public an explanation about this scandal if these rumours are to be laid to rest.
The Tanzania government's involvement in the latest sanction-bursting with Iran is very unfortunate given the East African country's role in the liberation struggle in Southern Africa from the late 1960s to the 1990s.
It will be recalled that the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (Tazara) was built through a hefty loan from the Chinese government in order to ensure, among other things, that the United Nations sanctions against minority racist regimes were enforced.
That a country that contributed so much toward the liberation of its brothers and sisters in southern Africa should today be the same country that violates United Nations sanctions aimed at bringing about global peace and harmony raises question marks over the credibility and probity of its leadership. And, on a more serious note, the Temeke district government recently advertised in the press inviting those interested in acquiring plots in the district to lodge their applications.
According to well informed sources, the total number of plots is 3,000, but rumours have it that the district government went ahead and produced 35,000 application forms, each one of which was sold at Sh30,000 What this means is if 35,000 applicants finally turned out for the 3,000 plots and bought the forms, the district government would net over Sh1bn! And your guess is as good as mine. Indeed, why did the district government produce an excess of 32,000 forms instead of the 3,000 actually needed for the available plots?
When applicants went about buying the application forms for the 3,000-plus plots most of them were not aware that there would, at the end of the day, be 35,000 applicants fighting for a mere 3,000 plots!
The million-dollar question is: who pocketed the proceeds for the 32,000 plots? Is it the district government or a selected few in the district government?
Secondly, is the police or the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB), for that matter, aware of the foregoing facts? According to whispers, the Bagamoyo and Kilindi district governments are reported to have emulated the creativity and ingenuity of the Temeke district government in generating income. The two district governments are reported to be currently busy parceling out plots for sale and there is the possibility of coming up with more application forms, each of which will sell for more than Sh30,000.
And given the lucrative nature of plots in Bagamoyo district due to the tourist and historical nature of the area, the district government will certainly go for a kill!
However, one thing is certain - many Tanzanians are going to be milked dry. While still on what transpired in the country last week, a section of the print media quoted the government as saying that it planned to recruit doctors from Cuba, India and South Africa to fill in the vacancies left by the sacked striking local doctors.
The story went on to say that the Tanzanian government intended to spend Sh200bn for the exercise. No sooner had the message hit the streets than rumours made the rounds that smart people within the government intended to make use of the exercise to make a fast buck. The argument set forth by rumour-mongers is that once the exercise was put in place, it would be extremely difficult for the government to monitor expenditure of the over Sh200bn.
They argue that if the government has to date failed in dealing with the problem of ghost workers, how is it going to manage over Sh200bn for foreign doctors?
Meanwhile, the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs, defence and security under the chairmanship of former prime minister Edward Lowassa has left the country for a working tour of Tanzania's embassies abroad. Interestingly, when the committee was leaving the country minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Bernard Membe said the committee's departure had been scheduled at the wrong time, just when the budget session was already underway.
But Lowassa insisted that the working tour was very important if the country's hard-earned tax payers money was to be protected. One hopes that the committee will also take a close look into who allowed the reflagging of Iranian ships with the Tanzanian national flag.
The all-important parliamentary committee left the country at a time when the rumours were rife about somebody in the government being paid $10 million for Tanzania to support the Morocco government's stand against Western Sahara's sovereinty.
Interestingly, just when the rumours were sweeping the country, the Tanzanian government renewed its support for the independence of the people of Western Sahara who, under their political movement, Polisario, have been waging armed struggle against Morrocan occupation forces for decades.
Before the parliamentary committee's departure, whispers had it that the Moroccan government was demanding its $10 million back following the Tanzania government's backpedaling on its earlier pledge.

It's a great day for fixing anything that needs attention now. That might be a dripping tap, a sick child, an unpaid bill or a miffed partner. However, you'll do particularly well if you need to sort out something connected with official or joint finances or red tape. You might be asked to help someone deal with a bureaucratic problem, especially if they're elderly.

Hey I was hopping to maybe get some help on a custom dropdown navbar I found through http://www.htmldrive.net/. I got it working fine but for the life of me can't seem to figure out how to get it to align at the top with my header(the blue bar). I want it go right over that blue bar. I had this working great with the dropdown navbar Digital Grin's has a form now but now that I have changed it its not working. I've tired "top align" "margin align" "padding top" "position: absolute" none of those codes worked or maybe its a combo of some of them togther. Any suggestions, if I have to I can bring this into Digital Grin but I thought I'd check here first.
