MARYVILLE, MO (2009-11-23) Maryville's City council members are asking for property owners along the new trail that is being constructed to come to its next meeting.
That meeting is to take place November 23 at 5 p.m. in City Hall. The discussion will cover a couple of changes regarding the trails path. Those changes include the trail on East Torrance between Main and Market now planned to be located on the South side. The other is between Davis and South Saunders on East Cooper where the trail is now planned to be located on the North side of the road. The program calls for a sidewalk measuring 8 feet wide and it will begin at St. Gregory's school and end at Walnut Street. For more information regarding the city council's meetings call 660-562-8001.

Reamers and hole openers from Atlas Copco, Century Products, Horizontal Technology, Vermeer, Radius HDD Tools, INROCK, American Augers, Melfred Borzall, Railhead Underground Products and Sharewell HDD Services.
Melfred Borzall once again delivers with their new Hedgehog Reamer. The new budget priced reamer is compact and aggressive to work in a variety of ground conditions. A tapered blade design, combined with the cutters provides smooth, efficient cutting action.
Condux International offers the complete line of Triple D HDD and compaction boring tools and equipment, including backreamers.
Salina, KS, city personnel began in 2009 to explore the various replacement methods and procedures to replace an aging 12-inch, vitrified clay pipe (VCP) gravity sewer with a 24-inch pipe line for needed increased capacity.
The 2009 Pipe Selection Guide is now available for download!
Easy Cut LLC implemented its Easy Cut pipe cutting system on an infrastructure jobsite adjacent to the I-20 interstate project in Augusta, GA.
Downhole tools are critical components of the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) process—no project can be completed without them. The wrong tools for soil conditions can result in excessive equipment wear and slow production—or even make it impossible to complete a job.
A new Ditch Witch guidance system for making on-line, on-grade pipe installations with horizontal directional drilling (HDD) equipment soon will be available, the Charles Machine Works has announced.
St. Charles Parish, one of nine Louisiana parishes (counties) comprising the New Orleans metropolitan area, is bisected by the Mississippi River, which can complicate parish government services to its residents.
INROCK's new Interchangeable cutter (MT/TCI) BMR - Boremaster reaming product line underscores the company's commitment to increasing HDD drilling tool performance.

Pictures of Mike and Thelma King show a married couple living the good life as attractive wealthy entrepreneurs, with the luxury of splitting their time between the Upstate, Mt. Pleasant, and the Caribbean island of St. Maarten.
"They were beautiful people. We sang with them, we ate with them, we wined with them, we road boats with them, we did everything with them," said the Kings' friend and partner, Topper Daboul.
And life was good, until Sept. 21, 2012, when they were discovered dead in their St. Maarten home. The couple had been stabbed to death, and Thelma was found bound to a chair.
By early October, police had arrested three suspects: 28-year-old Meyshane Johnson, 20-year-old Jamal Jefferson Woolford, and 17-year-old Jeremiah Mills.
All three are accused in the double murder.
The St. Maarten Prosecutor's Office applauded the speed of the investigation. "We are well on our way to bringing the case to a good ending," said Solicitor Taco Stein.
Not only did the Kings visit St. Maarten often, they also did their business there. Early last year, the couple partnered with Daboul, a St. Maarten restaurant owner, and his wife, Melanie.
Prosecutors have said robbery was the motive behind the murders.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1 | The Dell-specific Ctrl+F11 process is supposed to completely automate the restoration process, returning the hard disk to the state it was in when Dell shipped the computer. However, overwriting the MBR by using a boot manager, using the commands "fixmbr" or "fdisk /mbr", installing from a Windows installation CD, and assorted other tasks a user might do will inadvertantly break Ctrl+F11, rendering the system unable to boot the DSR partition. Furthermore, changing the partitioning by adding, deleting, or resizing partitions will cause DSRcheck to fail, so even if Ctrl+F11 works, the restore process will abort without attempting to restore the Ghost image |

| If Dell Recovery won't run as specified above then you'll need to find an XP installer for your licensed version on the web. It also needs to be OEM sku, meaning it cannot be a retail installer but needs to be OEM. If you end up looking on torrent sites for this disk be sure to read the comments to see that nothing is added like a crack since you have a Product Key to legally activate it. |

And It All Started With a Dumpy Old Sweatshirt
November 29, 2012 at 5:00PM by
Jessica Knoll
I didnt see Justin at practice last Tuesday, and I wasnt sure Id see him at Saturday practice either, since so many people were home for Thanksgiving. Id decided that when I
see him, I was going to play it cool and disprove whatever the devil herself had said about me.
And naturally, I wanted to look as cute as possible as I did that. I had dropped off all my sweaty running clothes at the laundromat across the street from my apartment before I went home for Thanksgiving (the definition of making it to me is being able to afford an apartment in NYC that comes equip with a washer/dryer), and picked it up when I came back to the city on Friday night. However, when I opened up my laundry bag on Saturday morning in search of my running clothes, I found theyd given me someone elses laundry. Bastards!
The laundromat doesnt open until 9 a.m. on Saturdays, and I had to be in Central Park at 8:15. So I scrambled to find something else that could contain my boobs and keep me warm for six miles. I ended up throwing on a big, shapeless sweatshirt from college that said, Amherst, Class of 2010 that I normally reserve for my Sunday hangover. I felt like a blobby blob in it, but I wouldn't have minded so much if I had known what an impact that sweatshirt would have on my destiny (please excuse my melodrama).
I was rolling solo, as Nina was in California visiting her cousins for the holiday. I didnt see Justin, and for a second I felt relieved he wouldnt see me in my dumpy sweats and sweatshirtbut that disappeared when he came jogging up to me and my heart lurched.
Hey there. He slowed to a walk as he approached me. How was your Thanksgiving?
I patted my stomach. My food baby says it was good.
Justins eyes lingered on the place Id patted for just a beat too long. I suddenly felt self-conscious I was joking, but maybe I really did eat so much I looked prego?
Did you go to Amherst?
I looked down and saw that he was just reading the writing on my sweatshirt. Phew. I did, I said. I thought I told you that.
Justin scratched his chin. You did, but I guess I forgot. He furrowed his brow and didnt say anything for a moment. When he did, he sounded befuddled. And you graduated in 2010?
Yeah. I tried to read his expressionwhy did he look so perplexed? Why?
Nothing. He shook his head. Its just did you do like a semester in New York or something?
Nope. I shook my head. Why are you asking me this?
Okay everyone! It was Couch Marni, on her loudspeaker. Gather round.
Ill just talk to you later, Justin whispered.
Justin is no longer pretending to run at my pace, so I knew the only opportunity to talk to him again was after the run. However, he runs so fast that I was worried he would be gone by the time my slow ass finished. So you better believe I ran like there was wind beneath my feet. As a result, I knocked back six miles in 53 minutes. I jumped up and down, hands in the air, Rocky style (appropriate since I was wearing a sweatsuit almost as hideous as his) when Coach Marni told me my time.
Youre a rockstar, Justin said when I sat next to him on the grass to stretch.
Thanks, I gasped. My sweatshirt had ended up being way too heavy for the run, and I was pretty sure I was so flushed my face was purple.
The key is to dress like its 10 degrees warmer out than it is, Justin said as I wiped my brow.
I know, I know
. Do your best not to be jealous of how sexy I am.
So Im actually traveling for work this week and wont be at practice on Tuesday, Justin said.
Okay. Why was he telling me this?
So I wanted to tell you now that I organized this fundraiser for Thursday night at The Corner Bar.
I tried not to grin like an idiot. Cool, where is that?
Ill send you the Facebook invite.
We chatted a little longer and then went our separate ways. I really wish Nina had been with me so I could get her take on Justins sudden fliphed gone from hot to cool to warm again. Also, I was confused as to what his fascination was with where and when I went to college. What was
When I got home, I logged into Facebook to check out Justins invite. I looked at the guest list and my face went from purple to white. Elizabeth was on it.
I cant describe it, but I just have this feeling that my odd interaction with Justin is connected to her. I have no idea
but I think Ill figure it out once were all in the same room together. In the words of the great Britney Spears, Here comes the showdown.

I have been working at Monster Worldwide
Pros – Monster is great at giving time off with its 4 weeks PTO in the first year of service. It also is big into work life balance, you can work flexible hours and take off a lot with little to no notice.
It has a pool table in the cafeteria.
The walls are painted funky colors.
Cons – It is extremely political and unprofessional, and gossip at all levels is an understatement. To get at least some sort of respect, you need to know who to be friends with. It's not what you accomplish but who you know. There are many non performers who work here only because they are liked.
They will not hire without the approval of the CEO. Job security is at an all time low with all of the recent layoffs.
Advice to Senior Management – Empower and respect your employees. Hire good, motivated, professional employees to free up your time from micro managing and gossiping.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Rate This RecipeVery delicious recipe and easy to prepare! I did make some additions - I added one can of diced potatoes, one can of corn, few dashes of Old Bay, and one can of small shrimp. I also did increase the garlic to about 3 cloves and added slightly more 1/2 and 1/2 than called for. Turned out perfect!
Night Owl
I'm a big crab lover, and this was still not my thing. I think what really threw me off was the chunky tomatoes. Crab meat in a soup is supposed to me smooth, so everything else should be like it. I might try this again, because the flavors were there. But next time I will do a mock "bisque". Maybe use more tomato sauce or soup. Or if I use the diced tomatos, I will put the finished components in a blender and really melt it all down and together. . .
After some additions it was really good...We like garlic, so next time I'll at least double the garlic (which I roast in the oven so it's a paste). It seemed really bland, then I realized there is no salt or pepper! I used frozen crab instead of canned, so maybe canned crab gives it salt?? I don't know. but we added salt and pepper and dill. Yes dill. My husband used to work at a restaurant where they made tomato dill soup and it was awesome so we tried it and it really tasted good! It says it serves 6, but we ate it as a meal, so three people max along with homemade wheat rolls. A-MAZING!! Definitely bland without the additions.

(Fortune Magazine) -- The Little Clinic vs. CVS MinuteClinic
The challenge: CVS (CVS, Fortune 500) continues to expand its MinuteClinics in its drugstores. They now have over 500 compared with the Little Clinic's 146 locations. How does the Little Clinic compete?
What they did: Founder Lisa Loscalzo, who launched the Tennessee-based Little Clinic in 2005, chose supermarkets for her clinics. The benefits? Long hours, good locations, pharmacies, and lots of foot traffic.
Loscalzo, 46, partnered with two well-known chains, Kroger (KR, Fortune 500) and Publix, which, she says, have ultraloyal customers. The clinics see walk-in patients for minor illnesses and flu shots. Each location has a dedicated staff, meaning you see the same people every time you visit. Says Loscalzo: "They're coming in to see Nancy Smith the nurse practitioner who works at my Kroger down the street." She won't give revenue figures, but the Little Clinic added 55 locations last year.
Maverik Lacrosse vs. New Balance
The challenge: Maverik, a lacrosse equipment maker, competes with New Balance, which owns two bigtime brands -- Warrior and Brine. How do you persuade players to go with the upstart?
What they did: John Gagliardi, 35, co-founder and president of New York City-based Maverik, has loaded his staff with players that the kids -- and coaches -- know and admire (including ex-members of Team USA). Gagliardi, a former pro and Johns Hopkins legend, also taps into the booming youth market by operating camps, where he tests and showcases his products.
A cool image is also important: Maverik's website features the top pros starring in edgy videos and offering up playing tips. Gagliardi also focuses on "lifestyle apparel" that gives the brand a "casual, cool, surf-snowboard dynamic" as opposed to the traditional prep-school vibe. He says sales were up 30% in 2009.
Amici's East Coast Pizzeria vs. Domino's Pizza
The challenge: Domino's (DPZ) can leverage its size to buy everything, from cheese to advertising, at much lower prices than operations like Amici's, which has 12 outlets in the San Francisco Bay Area.
What they did: Boston native and Amici's owner Peter Cooperstein, 54, can't beat his mega-size competitors at the profit margin game. But he can deliver his customers, many of them ex-"Pats" like him, a high-quality niche product.
In this case: a little taste of New England. Or, as he puts it, "pizza that reminds them of where they grew up." That means not skimping on ingredients, says Cooperstein: "We could save $600,000 a year by switching to a pretty-good-but-not-as-good cheese."
Pretty-good cheese aside, Amici's seems to be raking in the dough: Sales are now around $30 million -- more than half from deliveries. One big difference from the giant chains: Amici's sends only one pizza out at a time to keep them fresh.

hi, we're currently using owa provided by an isp
mailboxes are tiny so we really need to try to fix this this year if possible
it would seem from the chats i've had with various staff across the school that we do need to stick with owa (i had considered google mail)
hosted offerings are a tad expensive at around £5 per account. We would like around 100 accounts to start with, possibly rising to 200ish once we're very happy with it.
so, should we install an exchange server?
we'd bee lookign at exchange 2010 i guess.
we'd need to buy a server box for it. i think that's all it would run, just exchange (and anythign relevant that's needed to ensure it works?).
currently we've a mix of 2008 & 2003 ADs but we're planning on switching off the 2003s asap.
what budget spec server would i be looking at for exchange to run on with approx 100 accounts?
how easy is the install?
are there any massive pitfalls to look out for?
everything here seems to run reasonably ok (or at least i know why things aren't!)
then, obviously we'd need staff to be able to access their mail via owa whether in school or out.
i assume we go through the lea to open ports?
is offsite access possibly going to cause any unforseen problems?
we have a website hosted for us, our mail boxes are currently hosted by someone else so mail and web are already split.
as you can probably guess by the above exchange is somethign new to me, or at least the setting up of it. (did have a play a while back)
i guess my biggest concern is pointing mail to our new server, but keeping the website where it is and for staff to be able to access mail (via owa) from offiste
hmm.. there may be a couple of staff memebers who will want to stick with outlook
and, is it possible to transfer all existing mail that is accessed by owa from our existing providers into the accounts setup on our server?
sorry to waffle a lot of newbie questions in one hit!

Unlocking the Potential of Public Sector Information with Semantic Web Technology

Governments often hold very rich data and whilst much of this information is published and available for re-use by others, it is often trapped by poor data structures, locked up in legacy data formats or in fragmented databases. One of the great benefits that Semantic Web (SW) technology offers is facilitating the large scale integration and sharing of distributed data sources. At the heart of information policy in the UK, the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) is the part of the UK government charged with enabling the greater re-use of public sector information. This paper describes the actions, findings, and lessons learnt from a pilot study, involving several parts of government and the public sector. The aim was to show to government how they can adopt SW technology for the dissemination, sharing and use of its data.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Nigerian president signs law banning gay marriage, groups, meetings; up to 14 years in jail
LAGOS, Nigeria - Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird says Canada is "deeply concerned" by a new law in Nigeria, signed by the president without announcement, that has made it illegal for gay people to even hold a meeting.
The Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act also criminalizes homosexual clubs, associations and organizations, with penalties of up to 14 years in jail.
The act has drawn international condemnation.
"We call on Nigeria to repeal this law and to promote and protect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all Nigerians regardless of their sexual orientation," Baird said Monday in a release.
"Canada has clearly spoken out against human rights violations committed against people on the basis of their sexuality, and we will continue to do so."
Some Nigerian gays already have fled the country because of intolerance of their sexual persuasion, and more are considering leaving, if the new law is enforced, human rights activist Olumide Makanjuola said recently.
Nigeria's law is not as draconian as a Ugandan bill passed by parliament last month which would punish "aggravated" homosexual acts with life in prison. It awaits the president's signature.
But Nigeria's law reflects a highly religious and conservative society that considers homosexuality a deviation. Nigeria is one of 38 African countries — about 70 per cent of the continent — that have laws persecuting gay people, according to Amnesty International.
The Associated Press on Monday obtained a copy of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, which was signed by President Goodluck Jonathan and dated Jan. 7.
It was unclear why the law's passage has been shrouded in secrecy. The copy obtained from the House of Representatives in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, showed it was signed by lawmakers and senators unanimously on Dec. 17, though no announcement was made.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday the United States is "deeply concerned" by a law that "dangerously restricts freedom of assembly, association, and expression for all Nigerians."
Britain said, "The U.K. opposes any form of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation."
A statement from the spokesman for the British High Commission, traditionally not identified by name, said the law "infringes upon fundamental rights of expression and association which are guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution and by international agreements to which Nigeria is a party."
The British government last year threatened to cut aid to African countries that violate the rights of gay and lesbian citizens. However, British aid remains quite small in oil-rich Nigeria, one of the top crude suppliers to the U.S.
Washington-based Human Rights First urged President Barack Obama to "consider all avenues for response," saying leaders such as Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni, will be watching.
"This law threatens the very livelihood of LGBT people and allies in Nigeria, and sets a dangerous precedent for persecution and violence against minorities throughout the region," said the organization's Shawn Gaylord.
The motivation for the Nigerian law is unclear, given that the country already has one making homosexual sex illegal. And gay people were not demanding to be married in a country where being gay can get a person lynched by a mob. In parts of northern Nigeria where Islamic Shariah law is enforced, gays and lesbians can be legally stoned to death.
Some have suggested the new law in Nigeria and the proposed one in Uganda are a backlash to Western pressure to decriminalize homosexuality. Several African leaders have warned they will not be dictated to on a subject that is anathema to their culture and religion.
Yahya Jammeh, the president of Gambia, has said homosexuals should be decapitated.
In June, Senegal's president, Macky Sall, argued with Obama about the subject at a news conference. Sall told the AP afterward that other countries should refrain from imposing their values beyond their borders.
"We don't ask the Europeans to be polygamists," Sall said. "We like polygamy in our country, but we can't impose it in yours. Because the people won't understand it. They won't accept it."
Jonathan, Nigeria's president, has not publicly expressed his views on homosexuality. But his spokesman, Reuben Abati, told the AP on Monday night, "This is a law that is in line with the people's cultural and religious inclination. So it is a law that is a reflection of the beliefs and orientation of Nigerian people. ... Nigerians are pleased with it." Abati said he has heard of no Nigerian demonstrations against the law.
The few Nigerian gays and human rights activists who tried to give evidence last year during the debate in the House of Assembly were heckled and booed until one broke into tears and another could not be heard.
Nigerians are the least tolerant nation when it comes to gays, with 98 per cent surveyed saying society should not accept homosexuality, according to a study of 39 nations around the world by the U.S. Pew Research Center.
Under Nigeria's new law, it is now a crime to have a meeting of gays, to operate or go to a gay club, society or organization, or make any public show of affection.
In a recent interview, Makanjuola, the executive director of the Initiative For Equality in Nigeria, had said: "If that bill passes, it will be illegal for us to even be holding this conversation."
The law now says, "A person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies or organizations, or directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a term of 10 years."
Anyone convicted of entering into a same-sex marriage contract or civil union faces up to 14 years imprisonment.
Some critics have suggested the anti-gay law was designed to distract attention from Nigeria's many troubles, and to win Jonathan favour with powerful churches that influence voters. His party has fractured ahead of 2015 elections over his expected plan to run for re-election.
Nigeria is enduring an Islamic uprising in the northeast that has killed thousands of people, deadly ethnic-religious clashes in the centre of the country, and renewed militancy in the oil-rich south, where activists are demanding a bigger share of oil wealth, which is now being squandered by widespread corruption.
Makanjuola said those who will suffer most under the new law are poor gay Nigerians. Many rich ones have left the country, or say they will fly elsewhere to have sex, she said.
The court of the European Union recently ruled that laws such as Nigeria's could provide grounds for political asylum.
A statement by the Nigerian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual and Intersex Diaspora urged lawmakers not to make them refugees.
Criminalizing same-sex relationships "turns us into asylum seekers in other countries," it said. "We visit home with trepidation because at home we have to live a life full of lies and deny who we are for us to be accepted. Why do we want to keep subjecting our citizens to such psychological and emotional torture?"

Envelope Memory Book
by Becca
Today we're sharing a fun idea that would be PERFECT for New Years or for your next Anniversary!
Isn't it fun?!
This accordion envelop book has one envelope for each year that my hubby and I have been together. And each envelope can be filled with our favorite memories and pictures from that year. It's the perfect love note because it also doubles as a priceless keepsake.
And you can make one too! You remember our fabulous designer friend Sameeha, right? She's the amazing talent behind The Inked Leaf Custom Designs and she's created some gorgeous printables to make this project SUPER simple to put together. Just wait until you see how quickly it comes together…
How to Make Your Envelope Book
2. START EMBELLISHING- Now go cut out our free printables. Use the square labels to write the year that goes with each envelope, and place the embellishments however you'd like to decorate your envelopes.
3. ADD PICTURES- Find a picture of the two of you for each year and glue it to the outside of that envelope (or simply stick it inside.)
4. WRITE YOUR MEMORIES- Included in the free printables are blank, coordinating cards. Use these to write down your favorite memories from each year and stick them into the matching envelope. You can do this by yourself as a surprise for your sweetie OR do it together for a fun date night. {I left mine blank so that we could reminisce together on New Years.}
5. ADD YOUR COVER- Once your done, fold your book up accordion style and add the cover to the first envelope. Then simply tie it closed with ribbon. Voila- you're done!
For more New Year's ideas, check out this round-up of fun ideas and make sure you're following our "New Years Idea's" Pinterest board!

"I don't believe in mathematics."
Albert Einstein
"The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple."
S. Gudder
"Mathematicians, who are only mathematicians, have exact minds, provided all things are explained to them by means of definitions and axioms; otherwise they are inaccurate and insufferable, for they are only right when the principles are quite clear"
Blaise Pascal
"Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by the nose."
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
"How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality? Is human reason, then, without experience, merely by taking thought, able to fathom"
"If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics."
Galileo Galilei
"Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore."
"The human story does not always unfold like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes in life they make five or minus three; and sometimes the blackboard topples down in the middle of the sum and leaves the class in disorder and the pedagogue with a black eye."
Winston Churchill
"Nearly all the philosophical and mathematical doctrines attributed to Pythagoras are derived from India"
Ludwig von Schroder

Many of these numbers are fishy. Slovakia's 10 year government bond yield for instance is 2.92% (a hell of a lot less than the 5.31% you quote), and has been under 4% since February.
Most growth estimates for Slovakia are also substantially higher than the Economist's. That's just fine if the Economist is using a reasnable model and good data to arrive at this result - but the discrepancy with the IMF (which forecasts 2.4% 2012 growth against the Economist's 1.7%, and 2013 growth of 3.1% rather than the Economist's 1.9%) is a little glaring.
When the Economist can't even quote the market bond rate, and where there appear to be discrepencies elsewhere, the whole dataset starts to lose credibility.

Overturned boat on north-end of Key reaches tipping point
Date: April 10, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
A vessel on the north end is giving Longbeach Village residents a sinking feeling. That's because the sailboat has been tipped on its side for at least two months but still hasn't been removed.
According to Longboat Key Police Chief Pete Cumming, officers tagged the boat, which is in town waters, effectively giving the owner five days to remove it. As of Tuesday, April 9, the boat had been tagged, and it should be gone by the end of the week — one way or another.
That's because if the owner doesn't remove it after five days, the town will call the Cortez-based Sea Tow to remove it, and the removal costs will become attached as a fine to the owner's registration.
"The clock has started now," Cumming said.
Typically, police will monitor a disabled vessel and attempt to locate the owner.
Cumming wasn't sure in this instance if police had difficulty locating the owner, although it's a problem police frequently encounter with derelict boats. If police can't locate the owner, they tag the boat, and the five-day clock starts.
Alan Lai Hipp, Manatee County marine resources coordinator, said the county also tags derelict vessels if possible when they're located in county waters.
Then, the county sends a certified letter to the registered owner. The clock starts ticking when someone signs for the letter. But it gets complicated, because the registered owner will often say he or she sold the boat. In many cases, especially involving older boats, people don't bother transferring the title.
"Most of the time, you end up getting the runaround. They ask for more and more time," Lai Hipp said.
If the county does remove and dispose of the boat, it typically costs between $1,500 and $2,000.
"I've heard every story you could imagine," Lai Hipp said. "At the heart of it is, you're talking about wanting to make sure you're not incurring any liability from taking a person's property and destroying it."
The city of Sarasota has also wrestled with a derelict-boat problem near Marina Jack restaurant, which now has a mooring field the city operates. Many of the boats in the past haven't had current registrations, and the city has been forced to pay for the removal of derelict vessels. In the past 10 years, more than 180 derelict vessels have been removed from the area.

Moms Threaten Cafe Owner Over Facebook Post
Description:Kellea Poore took her one-year-old and three-year-old children out for breakfast to Rainy Days Caffe in Lake Stevens, Washington. During their meal, the owner came over and told Kellea she didn't appreciate the mess her children were making and banned them from the cafe. Kellea says her kids weren't misbehaving, but embarrassed she left the cafe anyway. The owner then posted a picture of the mess to the Cafe's Facebook page, and that's when all the moms got involved.

gorgeous Chinese wedding bed. antique purchased at an antique store in San Fran 3 years ago and shipped it across country because i couldn't resist. unfortunately i just moved from a 2 bedroom to a one bedroom so no longer have the luxury of a far east guest bedroom. currently have a twin mattress in it which you are more than welcome to take with it since it has only been slept on a handful of times. the platform will fit a larger mattress but is just shy of fitting a full so it would need to be custom to maximize sleeping space. this is truly a show stopping conversation piece. feel free to come by and see it. the dimensions are as follows and it disassembles for easy moving. 80"H x 80"W x 52"D.

Keeping employees happy part of business
by Martin Willoughby
Published: May 4,2009
Every organization wants "A" players on its team. Further, a company's ability to get maximum performance from the minimum amount of staff is always a great challenge. In the war for talent in the 1990s, many companies embraced a variety of work-life balance initiatives to recruit and keep top employees. While foosball tables, gyms and onsite daycares may not be in vogue anymore, employers are still facing a new generation of workers with different views and expectations about work and life balance. The lines between work life and personal life are not as clear as they used to be.
During these lean times, it would be easy for management to take the position "my employees should just be thankful they have a job." While that may be the reality, it is also shortsighted. Decisions made now will impact the long-term performance of your company, especially as we eventually pull out of the current recession. Studies consistently show that most companies only tap a small percentage of the true potential of their employees. For years, forward-thinking organizations having been experimenting with how to harness the potential of their teams through work-life balance initiatives. For those innovative organizations, this often results in being named to "Best Places to Work" lists. Interestingly, studies have shown that public companies named to these type lists have outperformed the overall market.
One example of a Mississippi firm employing these type initiatives is GranthamPoole, a sixty-five employee public accounting firm based in Jackson. The norm for years in the world of accounting has been for employees to slave away long hours during the long spring tax season, which usually runs from the beginning of January through April 15. Recognizing that this can have a detrimental impact on both employees and their families, the firm tried a bold initiative last year to limit everyone to 45-hour work weeks and only four pre-specified work Saturdays during tax season. According to one of the founding partners, Jim Poole, "We wanted to pro-actively improve the quality of life for our employees, which has resulted in a more balanced and happier workforce." Poole acknowledged that the shift has not been easy and has taken a lot of commitment from the firm to try and create workflow that is more evenly distributed throughout the year. Poole further noted that "we have been pleased with the results and believe that it is helping us attract and keep talented workers."
As more jobs are based on intellectual know-how and service standards, creating win-win partnerships with employees will be critical. Many pioneering companies in the work-life arena found that even though they were putting in good programs, it still was not creating the intended results. The problem is that work-life balance programs are not "one size fits all." It really involves a dual commitment from employees and employers. I believe that successful companies should be creative and innovative in their work-life structure and in return expect employees to contribute maximum effort to achieving the company goals. On a practical note, a best practice that is evolving is to make training courses relevant to both life and work. Research indicates that strategies for time management, planning, etc. that can be taught from a whole life perspective significantly increase adoption and execution in the workplace.
For employers, these type work-life changes may mean breaking with years of habit. As GranthamPoole demonstrated in tackling the longstanding tradition of working brutal hours during tax season, positive change can be made with winning results. As your company is looking for that competitive edge, perhaps it is time to honestly think about the output of your team and the opportunities to improve performance and attitude with some bold work-life initiatives. Companies that do will be best poised for the challenges of 21st century employment.

Rohnert Park casino set to open Nov. 5
Published: Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 3:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 3:35 p.m.
The $800 million Graton Resort & Casino will open for business Tuesday, Nov. 5, casino officials announced Thursday.
What will be the Bay Area's largest casino is owned by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. It is managed by Station Casinos of Las Vegas.
The gambling palace, located on the outskirts of Rohnert Park, is 326,000 square feet in size and will have 3,000 slot and video poker machines, as well as 13 restaurants.
The opening comes after almost exactly a decade of announcements, lawsuits, controversy and bureaucratic hurdles.
Casino general manager Joe Hasson said that as many as 6,000 people are expected on opening day to play the slots and 144 table games and visit the poker rooms, restaurants and food marketplace.
"I think we'll approach those numbers," he said.
Many will be brought in by bus and limo from around the Bay Area and beyond.
"I think you'll see every kind of transportation at our door on opening day," he said.
Some fanfare is planned, but what exactly that will look like is still being crafted, Hasson said.
The casino has just over 900 people on its payroll at this point, and Hasson said 2,000 permanent employees will be in place before the Nov. 5 opening.
