Many people employ the use of joint financial accounts as a matter of convenience, such as an elderly parent placing a child's name on the parent's checking account so that checks and deposits can continue if the parent is travelling or incapacitated. There is nothing necessarily wrong with this, but many well-meaning people are uninformed about the consequences of placing a non-spouse on their financial accounts.
Losing Control of the Account.
Requiring that withdrawals from the account require all the signatures of all the joint owners is entirely inconvenient, but allowing withdrawals upon the signature of any single owner of the account subjects the account to being emptied on the action of any one individual. This can leave a parent's funds at risk of being depleted without any authorization from the parent.
Many business owners form several types of business entities to hold their assets and operate different aspects of their businesses. A common strategy is to form limited liability companies to hold real estate. The operating entity, such as a manufacturing entity, pays monthly rent to the real estate LLC and this can work to keep liability of the operating entity separate from the real estate LLC. Some LLCs are formed to hold other assets, such as personal property that is leased to the operating entity. Also, LLCs are commonly used to manage family-owned assets and facilitate transfers among family members. LLCs are not required to have the formalities of meetings, minutes, and notices which are required for corporations. However, for an LLC to maintain its liability protections and protect itself from IRS attacks, it is prudent to exercise some formalities to evidence that the LLC is maintained as a separate entity and is not the alter ego of its owner(s). We advise many of our Cottage Law clients and business owners and families who use LLCs to hold and manage assets that they should treat the LLC as a business by following the pointers below.
With all the publicity of the new protections afforded consumers with the passing of the Credit CARD Act of 2009, business owners can be surprised to learn that the business credit card in their wallet is not covered by the CARD Act. Business credit cards do not fall under the protections of the Truth in Lending Act and the Credit CARD Act of 2009. This means that card issuers can raise rates at will (even on existing balances), bill on any date each month, and squeeze the time frame between the receipt and payment date–all practices that have been banned on consumer cards.
Business cards, however, can offer benefits that are attractive to business owners, such as more flexible payment options, business reward programs, and the ability to detail and break out spending records for accounting purposes. To be fair, some business card issuers voluntarily incorporate many consumer protections into their fine print policies.
You can't take it with you, but do credit card bills follow you into the grave? Does the debt die with you? Or, can it come back and haunt those you leave behind?
General Rule:
The general rule is that any debt of a deceased person, including credit cards and medical bills, are solely the responsibility of the decedent or the decedent's estate. The general rule assumes that no other person was the signer or joint obligator on any particular account or debt of the deceased person. If an account is the deceased person's alone, the debt is the deceased person's alone.
Creditors use employer garnishment errors to collect entire debt from employers
Employee wage garnishments appear to be informal and somewhat routine proceedings from the perspective of the employer. Employers are routinely sent writs of garnishment on printed forms, and employers can simply respond to writs of garnishment without using an attorney. Employers, however, face a huge risk relative to its employees' garnishment proceedings because in the State of Michigan, employers can be held liable for the entire debt of the employee that is subject of the garnishment, including court costs and attorney's fees, if the employer fails to comply with certain requirements. Some creditors are paying attention to the small details that the employer may overlook, because the creditor wants to be repaid and rather than wait around to be paid from the debtor, creditors are using employer garnishment errors to collect the entire debt from the employer. Employers are commonly not represented by counsel in this process and creditors are represented by counsel, providing the creditor a significant advantage.
Failure by employers to respond within 14 days could cause courts to take action against the employer
If an employer is named as the garnishee in a writ of garnishment, the employer must provide information as to the debtor-employee's money that the employer controls on the Garnishee Disclosure Form, including a calculation of the amount that is available for garnishment from the employee's paycheck. The properly completed form must be mailed to the court and the parties within 14 days after the employer receives the writ of garnishment. If the employer fails to disclose within the 14 days, the court can take action against the employer and can order the employer to pay the full amount owed on the judgment as stated in the writ of garnishment. A friendly letter to the creditor stating that the employee is no longer in the employer's records or other information is unavailable is insufficient. The creditor can go to court and obtain a default judgment for the entire amount of the debt because the employer did not properly respond to the writ.
Going, Going, Gone!
U.S. taxpayers are experiencing a "perfect storm" of opportunity to make tax-free transfers (gifts) of assets such as family businesses, real estate and other wealth from one generation to the next. The gift tax was first enacted in 1932 by the federal government. Over the coming months, we all have what may be the best opportunity since 1932 to gift family assets without a gift tax now and to avoid significant estate taxes later.
Two notable exceptions to the gift tax
Some people are not aware that giving away assets to their children or other individuals may create a taxable event. The "gift tax" referenced above applies to anything of value transferred by one individual to another. There are two notable exceptions to the gift tax. One is an "annual exclusion" which is an exception that allows individuals to gift up to $13,000.00 per year per person without any gift tax consequences. A second exception is an overall gift tax exemption which historically has been limited to $1M during an individual's lifetime.
Judge Rules on Employee and Facebook Post
We have previously provided information regarding social media and how employee postings on various websites may or may not affect the employment status of employees. The Acting General Counsel for the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") recently released a report on August 18, 2011, summarizing the results of 14 employment related cases that center on employees' use of social media relative to their employment and their employer's social media policies for employees. The report provides insight into what the NRLB regards as protected speech and also the enforceability of certain social media policies that employers implement. Remember that the NLRB and the National Labor Relations Act apply to most employers, union and non-union alike.
Protected, Concerted Activity
Have you ever stood at an automobile rental counter while traveling staring at a rental contract trying to figure out what the insurance options mean? "Should I buy additional coverage through the rental car company or am I paying for coverage I already have based on my insurance coverage for my own vehicle?"
Consider the following information the next time you rent a car while traveling or need a replacement while your vehicle is being repaired.
Fireworks Aren't Just for Kids!
Our "thank you" to our community
I know you've had a busy summer filled with plenty of activities, however, I hope you and your family will add one more special and local event to your calendar. I would like to invite you to be our guest to attend the annual Fireworks Display at the Suttons Bay Marina Park on Saturday, September 3rd of Labor Day Weekend. This is a very special evening for business owners who come together to sponsor an event for "locals" to say "thank you" to our community for a great summer. We are proud to be one of four senior sponsors, along with Hansen Foods, Bahle's of Suttons Bay and Bonek Insurance Agency.
So fill your picnic basket with summer snacks and grab your blankets and lawn chairs and join us at dusk, along with your friends and neighbors, to enjoy an evening of "Oohs and Aaahs" as fireworks light up the night sky over Suttons Bay. You too will discover that fireworks aren't just for kids!
Many of us know someone or will possibly be responsible for someone that is affected by mental illness. Yet, many patients have not executed patient advocate designations for psychiatric care. Psychiatric illness may come on quite suddenly and can be traced to metabolic imbalances, drug interactions, and other situations that, initially, may not appear to pose a threat to someone's mental health. There are numerous stories of patients being erroneously diagnosed and treated for an extended time for a condition that did not exist. This can result in severe depression and anxiety disorders. When treatments fail, the patient can sometimes be persuaded to undergo therapies that may provide relief but have severe side affects. For example, I recently read about a woman who agreed to undertake electric shock therapy after her course of treatment failed to successfully combat a supposed infection. Electric shock therapy is known for wiping out years of memories which can force the patient into losing their career and being unemployable. If the patient is depressed, maybe to the point of suicidal tendencies, can they be competent to consent to treatment and therapy? On the other hand, individuals with severe psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia can have time periods where they are stable, lucid, and handle a high-level career.
Everyone should have input, at some point, into the treatment of their medical and psychiatric issues in the event of an emergency. Individuals can make these decisions while they are still competent, and generally, these decisions are addressed in a Patient Advocate document (a power of attorney designation for health care and mental health). We encourage our clients to appoint a trusted surrogate (a "patient advocate") with a power of attorney to authorize psychiatric care on behalf of the client in the event of mental illness. An individual may prefer to combine the appointment of a patient advocate with an expressed declaration of his or her preferences when the patient advocate encounters certain situations and choices that affect the patient.

Sometimes when you are just sitting around thinking about players and their backgrounds, one thing leads to another and an interesting theme is developed.
In this case, I started thinking about two-sport Broncos, players (or administrators) who worked or played for the Broncos and also took a crack, however brief at another sport professionally.
Just for fun, here is what I came up with.
In 50 years of Broncos history, there have been a number of individuals with two-sport ties. I think it is safe to say most people are unaware of this, so that's why I wrote the blog.
Many people are aware that John Elway played college baseball, but a lot of you don't know that he played professionally for the New York Yankees organization (an action, by the way, that stripped him of his scholarship at Stanford for his final two years, meaning one of the greatest of the all-time greats had to pay his own tuition for his junior and senior years). Elway led the Oneonta Yankees in runs batted in during his season there. He did not wear number 7 by the way, but had number 8 instead ("I was Yogi!," John once told me).
But way before John, the Broncos had a star linebacker named John "The Bull" Bramlett, a very tough customer. As in, very tough. He played baseball for two years in the St. Louis Cardinals organization before deciding to channel his aggressiveness into pro football instead. A mediocre baseball player, Bramlett was one of the fiercest linebackers in the American Football League.
A placekicker here in the 1960's was Bobby Howfield, who came to the Broncos after more than a decade as a professional soccer player in the United Kingdom. Howfield was a fine kicker who eventually was traded to the New York jets for Jim Turner. Overall, Howfield played pro sports, soccer and football, here and there, for 20 years.
Elway and Bramlett were not the only baseball-playing Broncos, either.
Pro Bowl safety John Lynch played baseball in college and was drafted as a pitcher by the Florida Marlins in the second round of the 1992 amateur draft. He threw the first pitch in the organization's history as a member of the Erie Sailors (a 95 mile per hour strike, by the way). Lynch has his Erie Sailors jersey in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He played two seasons in the minor leagues with the Sailors and the Kane County Cougars, starting nine games and going 1-3 overall, with a fine 2.36 earned run average.
Carroll Hardy, who is one of the greatest athletes ever produced by the University of Colorado (the best, old timers will say) played pro football for the 49ers and baseball for several organizations, a two-sport guy back in the 1950's—but then, after his retirement as a player, Carroll became a player personnel man for the Broncos and had a 20-year career as one of the NFL's best talent evaluators. Carroll had a lot to do with drafting the players who made up the foundation of the Broncos' first Super Bowl team in 1977. A couple of Carroll Hardy notes: one of the most intimidating physical presences a scout could have. He always reminded me of sheriff Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke," except Carroll Hardy was real. He is the only [player in baseball history to have pinch hit for Ted Williams (Ted fouled a ball off his foot and could not continue the at bat), and Carl Yastrzemski—thus, the only guy in history to have pinch hit for two Hall of Famers. And just for good measure, he once pinch hit for his good friend (and one of my very favorite all-time players) Roger Maris, with Carroll hitting his first major league home run in that at bat.
When Lonnie Wright was a star basketball player at Colorado State everyone who saw him commented on his physique and said he could probably play pro football. Turns out, he could. Upon graduation Lonnie Wright joined the Broncos as a free agent safety and played here in 1966 and 1967, with five pass interceptions over his two years in the secondary. Along the way, Wright decided to play for the Denver Rockets (now the Nuggets) in the off-season, becoming a genuine two-sports at one time pro player. Wright went on to play five years overall in the American Basketball Association, four with the Rockets (1967-71) and one with the Floridians (no city name, just the Floridians). He averaged 10.7 points per game over his pro career
How about pro wrestling?
Recent era fans might remember defensive end Darren Drozdov, who played for the Broncos from 1993-1994. Afterwards, he became a pro wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation in 1998 and 1998 under the ring names "Puke" and "Droz." Sadly, Drozdov is a quadriplegic due to a neck injury sustained from a failed wrestling maneuver. Drozdov still is very active as a writer in the wrestling world, contributing numerous articles to trade publications.
Greg Boyd was a defensive end for the Broncos and is still active as an NFL employee who keeps track of proper uniform issues (he is the uniform policeman for the league) at Bronco games. Greg too was a pro wrestler, and one of the names under which he competed was "Herculoid" Boyd. One look at Greg's physique, and you would get the Herculoid name immediately.
But the top Bronco (1961-63 with Denver, nine pro years overall) pro wrestler, by far, was Ed "Wahoo" McDaniel. There are enough stories about Wahoo McDaniel to literally write a book about, so I can't even begin to tough on all of them here. But Wahoo played college football for Bud Wilkinson at Oklahoma (well, he sort of played for Wilkinson; Wahoo made a lot of his own decisions about when to practice, when to show up, etc.; but he was a great player, without question). Again, too many stories to tell, most of them great, but he played football during the fall, wrestled in the off-season, and was very prominent into the 1990's. That's four decades of pro sports, a lot of liniment and leg wraps.
How can you mention wrestling and not boxing?
Lyle Alzado was a dear friend of mine. He had a lot of well documented weaknesses, but I can tell you from years of knowing him that as tough as he was on the field, No player ever had a bigger heart of gold. Many of the great things he did in the community he made me privy to, with the stipulation that the press could never know. A guy with a big heart, and a great one. Most have forgotten, but right after Sylvester Stallone hit it big with "Rocky," Lyle boxed in an exhibition with Muhammad Ali in 1979. Now, that was a media circus here in Denver. Again, there are so many untold stories relative to the before, during and after of that exhibition that we can't get into them here, but it happened. Lyle was a Gold Gloves champion in his raucous youth, and that exhibition match is part of Bronco lore.
And if you can read on for just one more, how about Jake Plummer? Since his departure from the Broncos and pro football Jake has become an avid player of 4-Wall Handball. He attended his first pro handball tournament in 2007 along with his brother Eric. Jake Plummer played and lost in the semifinals versus brother Eric Plummer (the eventual champion) at the 2008 Idaho State Singles Championships. Jake hosted his own pro invitational in 2008, losing in the finals of the pro consultation bracket.
It just goes to show that when someone has athletic talent, it can be spread around over a lot of different sports.

Jacksonville State may have an early-season open date this week, but the players were back at practice on what normally is an Academic Monday, not exactly sure what the day would hold.
"I don't even really know what we're doing today, honestly," quarterback Marques Ivory said. "I guess we'll find out in this meeting. I kind of wish we didn't have a bye week this week because it's still early."
The Gamecocks (1-1) are coming off a dramatic 27-24 win over UT Chattanooga that kept them 24th in the Sports Network FCS Top 25. The next time they play, they'll face preseason OVC favorite Eastern Kentucky (1-1) in their conference opener.
That contest will have as much impact on their postseason hopes as last week's game.
The Gamecocks haven't fared well in recent years coming out of an open date. Before beating Austin Peay last year, they had lost their last three after an in-season break.
"Our history's definitely not good," quarterback Coty Blanchard said.
And it isn't good against the Colonels, either.
EKU has won the last two years and five of the last seven since JSU took the first two games of the series after joining the OVC in 2003. The Colonels are the only team on JSU's schedule this year with a winning record over the Gamecocks in the Jack Crowe era.
Given all that backdrop, Crowe said "everything we do" these next two weeks will be about Eastern Kentucky, which is ranked 20th in the TSN poll and plays at Coastal Carolina this week. After "a little something" Monday, the Gamecocks will go hard today, Wednesday and Thursday, then take off Friday and Saturday.
"We've given away half of them," Crowe said. "We've been our own worst enemy in this game. We've had some absurdity against these guys ... but they still had to win them."
There may have been nothing more absurd than last year's debacle. The Gamecocks blew a 24-point lead in the final seven minutes and, on the heels of the previous week's loss to Tennessee Tech, their chance for the OVC's automatic bid. They wound up being the odd-man-out in a three-team scramble for the playoffs.
"We're definitely thinking about that," Blanchard said. "You never want to forget something like that. It just adds fuel to the fire."
"We have to make sure that doesn't happen again," added Ivory.
The game the year before was just as painful. The Gamecocks went to EKU after an open date with a chance to be the No. 1 team in the country and lost 49-37. They did get an at-large bid but wound up losing three of their last four games.
"It hadn't been a good history for off weeks and EKU," Blanchard said. "We know they're a favorite team, just like we are. We've always been a favorite team, but we haven't been able to come through and finish off the season like we wanted to. We want to win them all from here on out — including Florida — but EKU's next on the list so we've just got to focus on them."

I've finally got DH to see a little reason in that we shouldn't use Elena since our niece is Delana, even though it makes us sad, haha.
He has moved on a little and likes Emmeline. He wants to pronounce it 'Emma-line' (like Caroline) and I asked a couple of friends and this is how they pronounce it as well (we are the southern US, so I expected this).
I know that Emmeline is the 'traditional' spelling, but to me it reads as 'em-line' and Emmaline reads as we are pronouncing it..? What are your thoughts on this?
Also, we still want to use Elaine, so it would be Emmaline Elaine V., lots of L's and E's.... unless someone has a suggestion on how to still honor Elaine with this name?

I like both spellings! I know this isn't much help, haha. I don't think the traditional spelling looks too much like 'em-line' so I think you'd be okay going with that.
May 23rd, 2013 10:47 PM #5
I don't think anyone would mispronounce Emmeline. The traditional spelling is much nicer.

I would pronounce Emmeline as emma-leen and Emmaline as emma-line (there doesn't seem to be much logic to that, does there...). I live in Ontario, Canada though so it may be a regional thing. I do find Emmaline Elaine really repetitive because there are so many of the similar sounds- almost redundant. Actually, at a stretch I think Emmaline would honour Elaine- it has all the letters in Elaine, and if you switch the "a" and "l" in Emmaline they would be in the right order.

One of the first things I noticed about this rope was that it is a little heavy. However, it's a 10.2 so I feel that is sort of expected. I have used it rappelling as well as with some top rope climbing. It's pretty snug in my black diamond atc but it fits. I've used other ropes that fit much tighter. First time out of the original packing gave me some trouble unraveling it. (I screwed up) But after a use it didn't even kink up too bad. I'd suggest this rope to beginners or anyone else for the most part. Solid and durable rope so far. Have some other friends who bought the same one and agree. I'll be sure to update if I run into different opinions on the rope.
I was so excited to get this rope and use it - My friends had their own gear, so I would always just borrow theirs. I got this rope as it was one of the cheapest on the market, but it did not decrease in quality. This is good quality rope, I love climbing with it outdoors and it stands the test of dirt, rain, and mud (though i wouldn't recommend you destroy it). It is long enough to fulfill my high-climbing needs :)
I would most definitely recommend this rope to anyone looking for a quality rope for the right price. I have climbed on several sterling ropes and they have yet to disappoint. The fall rating on this rope is great, it feeds great through an ATC, and doesn't pigtail all that much. Great for sport climbing, and allows for smooth clipping too. There is nothing I can find to complain about on this rope. Also, as a bonus, it's very affordable compared to similar ropes!
At 6om this rope is good value, nothing special though. I bought it as my first rope and its done well. The sheath shows a lot of signs of wear, and its a bit weighty,and stiff even still. But at the end of the day Its cheap and it'll catch you.
The rope is light enough to carry to hike in climbing spots, flexible enough to fit into your ATC or belay device without too much effort and stretches to relieve you and your equipment from lead climb falls. I'm very happy with this rope, and the price is a plus for budget climbers and those entering the world of climbing. I was very happy with the first two days of climbing on this rope, and I'm looking forward to taking this rope out climbing all over California this summer. Highly recommended to novices and avid sport climbers.
After getting into climbing recently and having to purchase all of the gear it was great to find a rope at this price. I used it for the first time last weekend and it works great! It's not too heavy, and feels great. 60m was perfect for me! Love the pattern, looks great on the wall. I also used this for a 90ft rappel and worked great. If you want a good rope at an excellent price, get this rope!
I'm cheap, real cheap, so price always get's the first glance with me. But this is a climbing rope. This is my life we're talking about. So price isn't the only thing I care about.In short, this was the best combination of rating, size (had to be less than 11mm), length, and features (dry rope) and finally price (best price there was).It feels great in my hand, looks great on the wall, and won't let you die when you fall - or rip you out of your sockets either.
Just got this puppy yesterday and im in love. Great pattern and good feel. Ill be taking it to the crag soon so will report on stretch later on but right out the gate it worked well on my home wall. Fits perfect in my cinch too. Like all sterling ropes it has a dry core so thats a plus. HIghly recommend this for sport or trad.
same as the kosmos with new color! not a difference in rope. These last longer than any other ropes iv used. The weight is not noticable because of the slick sheath does not cause any resistance. Tough,reliable, cheap, best rope for me!

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.

Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious southern Rhône wine. It was here that the appellation contrôlée system began in 1923, when a group of local winemakers, led by Baron Le Roy, drew up a charter of six stipulations to regulate and safeguard the quality of their table wines. Decades later, the laws of the appellation contrôlée system remain largly unchanged.
The Templiers originally planted vines in the region in the 12th century. Two hundred years later, it was the papacy of Avignon that continued the winemaking tradition. It was the new chateau (château neuf) completed by Pope John XXII in 1333 for which the wines of this region and the city itself are named.
At its best, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a broad, generous, sinewy wine showing a range of dark, fruity flavors. The wines derive their uniqueness from several sources. The round red and cream-colored stones and galets, left by ancient Alpine glaciers, absorb heat throughout the day and then reflect it onto the vines during the cool nights. As a result, the grapes reach maximum maturity. Furthermore, the vines here benefit from the cleansing winds of the mistral, which keep them dry and free of undesirable diseases.
Grenache accounts for 60% of the vines planted here, but because it can be unbalanced on its own, another 12 varietals (including five white ones) are permitted for use in making red wines. Châteuneuf-du-Pape white represents only 5% of the total appelation and is also a blend of up to six varietals. Yields are limited to 2.59 tons per acre.
"Rich and plump, offering a juicy core of black Mission fig, plum and currant fruit, layered with roasted vanilla bean and melted licorice notes. The finish is plush and rounded. Drink now through 2014." 90 Points Wine Spectator

(shah-too-NUHF due Pahp) Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s - it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the new papal home, referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome. Notable Facts...Read More About Chateauneuf-du-Pape
The Rhone region of France has a delightful selection of red varieties. There are 22 grapes allowed in the Rhone AOC, about half of them red. Most of these varieties are used as secondary blending partners, often comprising less than 10% of the blend. The primary red players of Rhone blends are Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Most wines from the Southern Rhone use Grenache as their...Read More About Rhone Red Blends

In a primary battle featuring two of the city's most prominent Dominican-American lawmakers, State Senator Adriano Espaillat held off a challenge from a longtime rival. NY1's Bobby Cuza filed the following report.
Adriano Espaillat got a hero's treatment in upper Manhattan Thursday night. He may have fallen just short in his bid to unseat Harlem Congressman Charles Rangel earlier this summer, but on Thursday the community stood with him as Espaillat -- now seeking re-election to his State Senate seat -- sailed to victory in a closely watched primary.
"Very happy this is my second bout this year, a little tired, no scratches on my face this time," Espaillat said.
Espaillat prevailed over a longtime nemesis, State Assemblyman Guillermo Linares. Their rivalry dates to 1991, when Linares beat out Espaillat for a City Council seat. This time around, the tables were turned with Espaillat winning a bitterly fought race Thursday night. With some of the city's most prominent Democrats standing behind him, he called for unity.
"This is really a time for reflection and reconciliation. And any differences that may have existed against Democrats we have to put them aside and come together as a community," Espaillat said.
Linares, even in conceding defeat, seemed to take a subtle swipe at Espaillat for what he had described as divisive campaign tactics.
"I am very, very proud of the type of campaign that I ran and I will run," Linares told supporters.
Thursday night's election was just a primary. Espaillat will still have to defeat a Republican challenger in the general election. But in what is an overwhelmingly Democratic district, a win in November is all but assured.

Ton fans pay tribute to Peter
Published: 13 Jul 2013 19:24
Tommy Wright's Saints travel to Norway for a Europa League second round qualifier on Thursday, and were approaching this fixture in a serious manner as a consequence.
Their intent was underlined by ex-Ton midfielder Chris Millar, who was a man possessed in the opening stages and went close to scoring when he crashed a shot against the near post.
At the other end, Weatherson, who played the first 20 minutes of the match, came within a whisker of marking the occasion with a goal when he glanced a Dougie Imrie cross narrowly wide.
In the second half, Archie Campbell and new signing Kabba-Modou Cham drew fine saves from visiting keeper Alan Mannus, while Rory Fallon tested Nicolas Caraux with a rising drive.
The deadlock was finally broken on 74 minutes when Saints full-back Dave Mackay placed a precision free-kick in the postage stamp top corner.
Weatherson's younger brothers, Paul and Daryl, were given a late run out and almost added a fairy-tale ending when Daryl crashed an angled drive against the outside of the post in the last minute.
Despite the result, it was a fitting - and emotional - send-off for a player who gave Ton 10 years of sterling service.

The Fund may use derivatives in connection with its investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's original investment. Many derivatives will give rise to a form of leverage. Derivatives are also subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce the Fund's returns. Derivatives also expose the Fund to the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. In addition, the Fund may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes, which increases the Fund's potential for loss. The Fund's fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk. If rates increase, the value of the Fund's investments generally declines. International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund may also invest in certain securities such as non-investment grade bonds, futures contracts and other derivatives, which contribute to fund volatility. These risks make emerging market securities more volatile and less liquid than securities issued in more developed countries. Securities rated below investment grade are called "high-yield bonds," "non-investment grade bonds," "below investment-grade bonds," or "junk bonds." They generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. Although these securities tend to provide higher yields than higher rated securities, there is a greater risk that the Fund's share price will decline. There is no guarantee that the use of long and short positions will succeed in limiting the Fund's exposure to domestic stock market movements, capitalization, sector-swings or other risk factors. Investment in a portfolio involved in long and short selling may have higher portfolio turnover rates. This will likely result in additional tax consequences. Short selling involves certain risks, including additional costs associated with covering short positions and a possibility of unlimited loss on certain short sale positions. The Fund may invest a portion of its securities in small-cap stocks. Small-capitalization funds typically carry more risk than stock funds investing in well-established "blue-chip" companies since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure. Historically, smaller companies' stock has experienced a greater degree of market volatility than the average stock.

| Allow surviving family members to have representation on mine fatality investigations.
| Requiring pre-employment and random drug testing. The provision was included, although the investigation of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster concluded that drug abuse was not a contributing factor.
Also Tuesday in the Legislature:
| Addressing concerns by delegates reluctant to impose mandatory jail or prison terms for persons convicted of graffiti, House Finance Committee members approved a revised version of the bill (SB408) that gives judges the option to impose fines, community service or imprisonment.
Unlike the original House version of the bill, which imposed mandatory jail time for first- and second-offense violations, the revised bill leaves incarceration as an option only for third-offense convictions.
The committee also restored a provision from the House bill, allowing judges to issue orders suspending drivers' licenses for juveniles convicted of graffiti for up to two years.
The bill goes to the full House.
| The Senate passed 34-0 and sent to the governor legislation to allow state driver's licenses to have designations for honorably discharged military veterans (HB4330). West Virginia will become the latest of several states to include the designation, which is intended, in part, to make it easier for veterans to obtain military discounts and other benefits without having to provide paperwork.

Tennessee Titans undrafted free agent rumor tracker

Chase Deadder, WR, Sacramento State (via Jim Wyatt)
By these reports, the Titans have been linked to fifteen UDFAs. That would leave the Titans at 89 total players, one short of the maximum 90. At Saturday's post-draft press conference, GM Ruston Webster indicated he expected the Titans would sign 10-14 UDFAs.
Let me stress these are unconfirmed rumors only, and you should not rely on them. It's worth keeping in mind the Tennessee Titans have not kept a rookie undrafted free agent on the 53-man roster in a number of seasons. The closest thing to exceptions are guys like Kevin Matthews, who was cut and spent most of the season on the practice squad, and Chris Hawkins, who was a UDFA and made the team but not immediately out of college. As Adam Caplan notes, teams won't announce signings until they're official. That may also include passing a physical. The Titans are generally a bad team for a UDFA, so until pen has been put to paper, UDFAs may find greener pastures.
I'll be updating this post as I see more names.

The No. 11 VCU Rams, champions of the 2011 NCAA Tournament's Southwest region, will advance to face No. 8 Butler after topping No. 1 Kansas in one of March Madness' all-time great upsets. VCU stormed out to a huge early lead before Kansas started to close in the second half, but held on to win, 71-61.
VCU vs. Butler will be a battle of Cinderallas the likes of which have been unseen since Cinderella II: The Clone Wars. Though it's hard to think of either of these teams as underdogs at this point, with Butler making its second-straight Final four and VCU having already taken down five tournament favorites in a row just to make it this far.
With one game (No. 2 North Carolina vs. No. 4 Kentucky) left to play, here's the updated 2011 Final Four schedule. We don't know game times yet, but you'll have to assume VCU-Butler will be the first.

I've had the battery percentage showing since the day I found it in the settings. Can't turn back now.
I don't have the percentage, I like not seeing the number and being all OCD about when it drops in number and just use the bar to show when it drains.
Call me crazy, but I don't have it showing. I drive myself absolutely nuts by looking at it all the time and watching it drop number by number. Lol.
Plus, to my mind, it looks cluttered when I have it turned on. Another thing that drives me nuts.
Not knowing the exact percentage doesn't bother me one bit. The battery on my iPhone is far superior to any other device I have used, and unless I intentionally run the battery down, I never EVER have to worry about it.

I have it on but I'm definitely not OCD about it. I'll probably take the % off once classes are done for the semester since I won't be using it as much and won't be far from a charger.
Haha. Had mine on too for a while but had to get rid of it. Felt like I was being OCD in having to know and keep checking. Not sure it really made a difference. Even though I feel the battery life is great on my iPhone and iPad I still am battery checking charging and obsessing. :o
I TRIED to shut mine off yesterday.....that didn't go so well my OCD feels I need to visually see a percentage number, but on the other hand, I also like to know where I'm at especially when using my Mophie. I like to turn the Mophie on my phone to charge when I hit 30%, if the percentage is not showing il never know when that magical number 30 is
On the other hand, there are days I'm bugging out and charging at 75% just because.....go figure!! LoliHeartMyPINKalicious5C*drink that Kool-Aid, follow my lead. now you're one of us, you're coming with me* - 05-01-2012, 07:59 AM #58
You are so right, Pink. We get so caught up in keeping the battery percentage at or very near to 100% at all times that we tend to forget how much 75% or even 45% is. Still, without having the battery percentage showing, the battery indicator is misleading and I am more prone to charging it thinking the battery is almost drained. Yet, when I turn on the battery percentage, I see that I'm at 55 or 60%.

its funny how so many of us NEED that % ... obsessive, yes!! and after reading this thread yesterday, i decided to turn the battery percentage off and see how i managed. i have a mophie case, and usually will charge with it only if the iPhone gets down between 20-30%...
i was tempted to check the % SO MANY times but refused to let myself give in to it, lol... my goal was to wait for the battery icon to turn RED before checking the %, and then use the mophie to charge. went to bed at 11pm... still in the green on the battery icon... does anyone know when the battery actually turns red? i thought it was at 20% when you get the warning
i don't have to use the mophie everyday (and i haven't in a few days) but i LOVE the security of knowing that i have that extra charge... wonder how i'll do without the security of that % - 05-02-2012, 01:23 PM #60
Thanks! I thought so... Now I hopefully won't stare at it all day waiting for it to turn red lol
It varies, but most of the time I do, depends on what theme I'm using.

I have it on for the same reasons as everyone else.
Re: Who has their battery percentage showing?
I typically turn mine off. I get very paranoid if I see the percent drop each time. I only turn it on for a brief time before I go to bed to see where the % is.
Who has their battery percentage showing?
Definitely. It was also one of the first things I changed on my old Palm Pre.

Re: Who has their battery percentage showing?
when i first got my 4S i always had it on. then i got to a point where i was tired of obsessing over battery percetage/usage/standby blah blah blah. SO i turned it off. i just recently turned it back on when i upgraded to iOS6 just to get an idea of how my battery life is. Sometimes i shut it off though. Prob in another couple of days i'll turn it completely off again and be done with watching it. Since iOS6 my battery has been fine and i feel no reason to watch it like a hawk anymore

Who has their battery percentage showing?
Same here, Pink. The only difference is that I now only turn it on to check the percentage when my battery is just about completely drained and I'm in the process of surfing the web, perusing the forum or reading articles I sent to Instapaper, etc. I find that I'm less inclined to put it on a charger when the percentage is not being displayed, unlike a few months ago.

Re: Who has their battery percentage showing?
I understand what you mean D. Usually when my percentage is off, and my 10% warning comes up is when I'll usually plug in. Although when I have my % showing I'll push the envelope and not plug in to charge till the very last possible moment, which could be 1% at that point.
I tend to ignore the 20% warning when my % is turned off too lol.iHeartMyPINKalicious5C*drink that Kool-Aid, follow my lead. now you're one of us, you're coming with me* - 11-17-2012, 01:01 PM #74
Re: Who has their battery percentage showing?
I've never owned an android, but I def have OCD about my battery percentage. I'm ashamed to say I carry a wall charger in my purse (and use it) and I also immediately plug it in no matter what when I'm in my car.
I'm thinking I should try to turn the percentage off but then I'd just obsess about what it is and check anyway. I'm on my phone A LOT to pass time during the day (because of what I do, otherwise I'd be twiddling my thumbs) and the battery drains fast.
Geeze, I really am OCD about the percentage. White iPhone 4s 32GB AT&T Passed down Black iPhone 4 16GB AT&T on iOS 6 (home button works intermittently) MacBook Pro 13.3" late 2011 on Mountain Lion Passed down White MacBook 13.3" early 2008 on Snow Leopard - 11-17-2012, 01:05 PM #75

L&I urges job safety for teens as summer hiring season nears
TUMWATER — With the governor declaring May "Safe Jobs for Youth Month" and as the summer hiring season nears, the Washington Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) today urged employers to make job safety for teens a priority.
"The fact that teens under 18 are injured on the job twice as often as adults tells us there are special needs for teens in the workplace," said L&I Director Paul Trause. "We encourage employers to treat every young worker with the same care they would want their own kids to receive at work."
This means providing adequate training, following laws that prohibit teens from working with dangerous equipment and, in general, giving them extra supervision and lots of repetition, particularly when they're new to the job.
"Teens may not know the risks in your workplace unless you tell them," Trause said. "And they may be more reluctant than adults to speak up or ask questions. Risks that may be obvious and unacceptable to adults may not be obvious to teens, and they really do need their employers' help to stay safe."
According to L&I, nearly 50 percent of injuries to teens occur during the first six months on the job. While the majority of injuries are burns, cuts, slips and falls, some injuries result in lifelong disability or, worse, death. In the summer of 2003, three 16-year-olds in Washington died on the job. More than 1,100 other Washington teens filed workers' compensation claims as a result of injuries.
Teen-worker injuries have declined in recent years in Washington, thanks to efforts by businesses, labor unions, schools, governmental agencies and other organizations. Reported injuries for minors dropped nearly a third during the past decade. From 1992 to 2003, L&I accepted more than 29,000 claims for work-related injuries to minors, in both agricultural and non-agricultural jobs.
Employers who want to hire teens need an updated master business license with a work endorsement for hiring minors, and a parent/school authorization form for the teen's work hours and job assignments.
Here are some of the other rules for employers who hire teenage workers:
- In general, 14- and 15-year-olds may perform lighter tasks such as office work, cashiering and stocking shelves, bagging and carrying groceries, janitorial and grounds maintenance (without operating power mowers or cutters), and food service that does not involving cooking or baking duties.
- Work assignments for 16- and 17-year-olds can be less restrictive. Their jobs may include such things as cooking, baking, landscaping, window washing (no more than 10 feet off the ground), maintenance and repair, and amusement-park work.
- Generally, if safety equipment other than a hard hat, eye protection or gloves is required to do the job, then it's not an appropriate job for minors.
- Fourteen- and 15-year-olds can work up to 40 hours a week while school is not in session; 16- and 17-year-olds can work up to 48 hours a week. Overtime-pay requirements would apply for hours worked over 40 in one week.
- Agricultural rules prohibit all minors from working with certain chemicals, pesticides and explosives, and in other hazardous jobs. Additional restrictions, including operating equipment, apply to minors under age 16.
More resources, including information on employer workshops addressing teen job safety, can be found at www.lni.wa.gov/WorkplaceRights/TeenWorkers.
Media note: An occupational health specialist at L&I who is an expert on teens in the workplace is available for interviews. If interested, contact Ron Langley, L&I Public Affairs, 360-902-5405 or email@example.com.

Since then, with the help of a Gulbenkian Foundation Fellowship and an understanding wife, Stephen became a successful concert and recital singer, with occasional forays on to the operatic stage, and his work has involved a great deal of travelling across the world. In addition he has made some 130 recordings covering a wide range of music, though it is the song repertoire which gives him the greatest joy. With Hyperion he has made CDs of songs by Schubert, Hahn, Chabrier, Parry, Stanford and Finzi among others, and it was as a result of a conversation at one of these sessions that he wrote a book, Sing English Song, which was published by Thames in 2000. This is aimed at encouraging people to explore the treasures of an unjustly neglected heritage.
