DEFINITION of 'Limited Liability'
A type of liability that does not exceed the amount invested in a partnership or limited liability company. The limited liability feature is one of the biggest advantages of investing in publicly listed companies. While a shareholder can participate wholly in the growth of a company, his or her liability is restricted to the amount of the investment in the company, even if it subsequently goes bankrupt and racks up millions or billions in liabilities.
In a partnership, the limited partners have limited liability, while the general partner has unlimited liability. The limited liability feature protects the investor's or partner's personal assets from the risk of being seized to satisfy creditor claims in the event of the company's or partnership's insolvency.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Limited Liability'
In the context of a private company, incorporation can provide its owners with limited liability, since an incorporated company is treated as a separate and independent legal entity.
Limited liability is especially desirable when dealing in industries that can be subject to massive losses, such as insurance. As an example, consider the misfortune that befell numerous Lloyd's Names, who are private individuals that agree to take on unlimited liabilities related to insurance risk in return for pocketing profits from insurance premiums. In the late 1990s, hundreds of these names had to declare bankruptcy in the face of catastrophic losses incurred on claims related to asbestosis.
Contrast this with the losses incurred by shareholders in some of the biggest public companies to go bankrupt, such as Enron and Lehman Brothers. Although shareholders in these companies lost all of their investment in them, at least they were not held liable for the hundreds of billions of dollars owed by these companies to their creditors subsequent to their bankruptcies.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Dancing has always fired imaginations as a metaphor for life, conveying transcendent human effort and bringing form to potential chaos. American Ballet Theatre's opening gala was a frank parade of the stellar dancers who grace the company's City Center season (through Sunday). Yet in these shaky times, the tropes of contemporary classicism shine a little more meaningfully. Balanchine's Sylvia Pas De Deuxits feats of balance managed with aplomb by Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Belotserkovskyaffirms the continuity of courtly behavior. An excerpt from Kirk Peterson's premiere Amazed in Burning Dreams pits a daredevil leader-hero (the amazing Herman Cornejo) against his own human limitations. Ashley Tuttle's exquisite rendition of "Prayer" from Coppelia casts a benison over the stage. In two duets, Lar Lubovitch's My Funny Valentine and Nacho Duato's Without Words, partners cling to each other as if trying to fuse. (Sandra Brown and Marcelo Gomes in the first, and Julie Kent and Vladimir Malakhov in the second, give lovely performances.) Angel Corella and Erica Cornejo, prancing winningly through Eliot Feld's witty Variations on America to Charles Ives's eponymous music, remind us that being affectionately irreverent about flags and the Fourth of July is part of our heritage of freedom.
Robert Hill's touching, slightly drawn out pièce d'occasion, Reverie, offered three senior dancersGeorgina Parkinson, Martine van Hamel, and Frederic Franklinwalking softly about the stage to Schubert sung by Camille Zamora. (Franklin at 87 has lost none of his elegance, nobility, and simplicity.) Gesturing toward the horizon and to one another, the three could have been markingrememberingpast ballets. Or presiding like good spirits over present ones.
This season ABT adopted George Balanchine's Symphony in C, first performed in this very theater by New York City Ballet (then Ballet Society) in 1948. On opening night, Victoria Simon and John Taras's staging looked spick-and-span, but airlesseven in the ravishing second movement, when Balanchine's steps and Bizet's music conjure up the ghost of Swan Lake, and Nina Ananiashvili swoons softly backward into Jose Manuel Carreño's arms. Corella's shameless third-movement charm binge, Sandra Brown's surprisingly ill-at-ease dancing in the fourth section, and the ensemble's glued-on smiles are, I hope, only temporary. Not surprisingly, Ethan Stiefel, ex-NYCB, looked most at home in this magnificent musical hymn to orderand to dancing as intricate and variable and deep as life.
Dazzling men are both the commodity that Australian Stanton Welch's new Clear delivers and the engineers who run it to us at top speed. In the allegro sections from two Bach concertos, seven men shoot on and off the stage. How can they execute such big movementsclassical steps inventively mixed with canted, rampaging contemporary onesso rapidly? The ballet may end in a tender duet for Corella and Kent, but, although she threads through the finely managed barrage of virtuosity, Kent gets short shrift. Gomes and Belotserkovsky lift her attentively when she enters their lyrical follow-the-leader duet, but soon usher her off and go back to their contrapuntal games.
Despite the spins and leaps for these three men and Herman Cornejo, Joaquin De Luz, Jerry Douglas, and Sasha Radetsky, their manners are not always showy or exuberant (Corella, serious here, seems a whole different dancer). The gravity does not come from the men's peculiar, often distracting gestureslike lightly covering their eyes with their handsbut from the rigor of rewarding work wholeheartedly pursued.
In choreographing Steve Reich's great 1971 Drumming, Belgium's Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker reinvestigates her artistic roots: the austere and remarkable solo and duet she made in 1982 to Reich's Violin Phase and Come Out to Show Them. With Drumming as in these earlier works, rather than following Reich's music exactly, she creates analogous structures, echoing his techniques of layering, of buildup and reduction. One musician from the Belgian ensemble Ictus steps up to his bongos on BAM's Opera House stage; one dancer stops looking around and bounds into action. During Reich's third section, the musical texture thins out; De Keersmaeker has a single man pick up dancers one by one and carry them away. Reich adheres to one basic rhythmic pattern throughout; De Keersmaeker wrests an hour's worth of variations from one substantial phrase.
Reich's music, however, is a vital, driving percussion work, while De Keersmaeker has drawn her vocabulary from a filmed solo (part of her 1996 Woud), in which she danced with flyaway recklessness in fields and along roadways. The solo with which Marta Coronado begins Drumming is airy, flingy, almost childlike; she whirls but we see straight lines and angles more than curves.
Whenever the stage is full of dancers13 in allan interplay of stillness and motion develops. We notice individuals, like tall Ursula Robb, who begins simply walking through the orderly melee. There's something fascinating but perplexing about the luminous stage picture. It may be that each dancer defines center and front differently; their paths almost collide or tangle or bunch up on one side of the space.
De Keersmaeker's elegant choreography alters its dynamic profile less than Reich's score does (he moves from bongos to marimbas and voices to glockenspiels, piccolo, and whistling, and then combines them all; she has only human beings). There's something wispy about the dancing; you have to stick with it to love it.

The other day I was looking at a website – justforgirlssports.com – and saw an excellent example of why product reviews do a better job of selling products than product descriptions do. I was looking at the product page for a girl's bicycle helmet.
The product copy had this to say about the helmet:
"The ergonomic designed padding and an additional pad set for the perfect individual fit guarantee ultimate comfort.
The product review had this to say about the helmet:
"The helmet fit both girls well; ages 10 and 12. They must be comfortable because they wear them every time without reminding."
Which description do you think convinced more parents to buy this helmet?
Not only did the review use more simple language, it also touched on one of parent's biggest concerns with bike helmets -will their child actually wear it?
Mine your product reviews for ways to improve your product descriptions and convert more buyers.
This is true in so many website. Most of the time product description are the same from website to website. A true product review can easily sell you products better than the description.
Good example. It's interesting how much detail people go into when reviewing a product. I remember an example where an Amazon shopper was asked why they skipped over manufacturer description all the way down to the customer reviews, and they said they would rather see what other people have to say about a product, rather than the manufacturer who is naturally biased.
product reviews are also better for online retailers, because it reduces return rate, increases conversion rate, etc. Our reviews site http://www.Buzzillions.com aggregates reviews from over 300 online retailers, so you don't have to visit multiple different sites to read reviews.
[...] 3. If that's important to me I may buy a different book. I was looking for this link earlier about why product reviews are better than product descriptions From the post: [...]
Holly, I couldn't agree more! I heavily rely on customer reviews of products far more than I do the official description.
This is helpful for me. And I think product reviews are better than product descriptions, too
Couldnt agree more, product reviews make a lot more sense, it implys some experience with the item in question
Reviews are always more informative, descriptions tend to just be repeated over and over on web sites.
I find product descriptions make me feel like they are biased and simply pushing the product.
Reviews are more often a lot more impartial, informative and helpful in deciding to purchase a product or not.
Its obvious for me that the second example is more "user friendly".
The first one sound really strange and comlicated.
This is a very nice blog to browse more useful information and to share too; thanks.
yes though I wnder if click through vs conversion make it worth the effort?
[...] Excellent post from GrokDotCom [...]

text: On April 6, 1997, at about 1107 eastern daylight time, a Boeing B75N1, N52507, registered to Training Services Inc., operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, experienced a total loss of engine power on descent for landing at Columbia, South Carolina. The pilot made a forced landing to a road about 1 1/2 miles northeast of the airport, colliding with power lines. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The private pilot and one passenger reported no injuries. The flight originated from Roxboro, North Carolina, about 2 hours 37 minutes before the accident. The pilot stated he started a descent in preparation for landing when the engine quit without any power reduction. He made a left turn looking for a forced landing area, and made a distress call. The engine started by itself and quit again about 15 to 20 seconds after it started. He elected to make a forced landing to a highway. The airplane collided with power lines on final and came to a complete stop on the road. The pilot stated in an interview with an FAA Airworthiness inspector after the accident, that he was a practical man and he thought he exhausted his fuel supply. Examination of the airplane revealed the fuel tank was not ruptured. No fuel was present in the fuel tank. A small of fuel (about two ounces) was drained from the left and right fuel drains. The fuel bowl contained about one ounce of fuel and the fuel strainer was clean. There was no evidence of leakage or defects with the fuel system.

Dear Friends,
Greetings to you and your family and we pray that the Lord's choicest blessings be upon you all this year. 2014 has been a uphill before it could even start, with the passing of our Founder. Rev. Gopal Hembrom to his heavenly abode leaving back a legacy and a great vision.
This year the Lord is calling us to "Repent" repentance is call for the people of today. Nineveh was to be judged harshly but instead of his harsh judgement, the Lord was merciful to them, because they listened to his messenger Jonah and repented. However the same was not dealt with Sodom, cause God could not find even ten righteous people, and that is what we want to ask the father through our prayer for repentance this year. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land" and this is our prayer for 2014 and hope its yours as well.
Sd/Rev. Joseph Meagher

The Atlanta Falcons' Hall of Fame-bound tight end, via Huntington Beach High, reveals his reasons for coming back in this Register Q&A.
LOS ANGELES – Tony Gonzalez is running late. It's a soggy Monday morning in Southern California, and the commute from Huntington Beach to the Sunset Strip is long and arduous.
The same can be said of an NFL season. Gonzalez would know: He has endured 16 of them as a Hall of Fame-bound tight end for Kansas City and Atlanta.
This past season was supposed to be Gonzalez's last ride – he was 95 percent sure of it – but by mid-March he had changed his mind. The Huntington Beach High product is taking one more Super Bowl shot with the Falcons, who return the bulk of a team that very nearly won January's NFC Championship Game.
With his chiseled power forward's body, Gonzalez looks as if he could play another 10 years. That makes him the perfect spokesman for FitStar, a new personal-training app available in the iTunes App Store this week.
The app – which allows users to customize their workout routines and train with an NFL All-Pro – was one of numerous topics covered when Gonzalez recently sat down for an interview in a suite at the posh Mondrian Hotel. The conversation began with his retirement reversal.
Q: What changed after the season in terms of your decision to come back?
A: Honestly, probably, my son Nikko, who doesn't live with me. He lives out here during the season. He was a big reason I wanted to retire. I wanted to spend more time with him; he's getting older. (Nikko is 12 and lives with his mother and stepfather in Beverly Hills.) I've never really been around during the season. He told me, 'Look, you're so close, if you want to come back, it's fine with me.' He was the reason I was gonna retire, and he's the reason I decided not to retire – the main reason. Now, there's other reasons that go into that, how good of a team we are, how close we came, the talent we have on the team. And I can still play at a good level.
Q: To what extent, if at all, did peer pressure factor into your decision? Were your teammates texting you, calling you, badgering you?
A: They played a part. Getting texts from Matt (Ryan) and Roddy (White). They were telling me throughout the season, 'He ain't going nowhere.' But I was adamant with them: 'Hey, I am going. I don't care what you guys say.' ... That's what I was preparing myself for. I was 95 percent sure it was going to go down that way. But the owner called me; that was really cool. Smitty (Falcons coach Mike Smith) flew out to visit with me; that was really cool. They made an effort.
Q: I was talking to your teammate Sam Baker last season, and he told a similar tale about Smith coming out to visit him. Is he a different kind of coach?
A: To do something like that? Get on a plane to come out and visit with a player? Yeah. That's why I love him. That's why he's great. My whole situation in Atlanta has been unbelievable. The way the organization is run from the owner down to the general manager to the coach to the players, just in the locker room, it's unlike anything I've ever been around. It's been a lot of fun. I'm so thankful I was actually able to be with this type of organization. Nothing against Kansas City; Kansas City's great too. It's just a different feel around that locker room.
Q: At age 37, are you as good a player now as you were in your heyday?
A: I think so.
Q: Are you just as athletic as before?
A: Not as athletic. Shoot, I can barely dunk with two hands anymore; I used to get up there. But I'm way smarter. You look at Michael Jordan, those last couple years with the Bulls. Look at Kobe Bryant; he's not as athletic as he used to be, but he's way smarter. I'm still putting up the same stats. The production is the same. Leverage, blocking-wise, you take so much stress off of the physical side of it once you know how to have good technique. You don't have to work as hard. The same thing with route running.
Q: Statistically, you're the best tight end of all time. Do you consider yourself the best?

Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc. faces an antitrust complaint at the European Commission from Twenga, a French shopping-comparison website, which says the world's largest search engine may have abused a dominant position.
Bastien Duclaux, chief executive officer of Paris, France- based Twenga, said Google's services "should not benefit from any privileged treatment" in the company's search rankings. He said Google updates since late 2010 have demoted Twenga in favor of Google's own shopping comparison service.
The EU is investigating Google over claims it discriminated against other services in its search results and stopped some websites from accepting rival ads. Microsoft Corp. and shopping- comparison site Foundem are among companies that asked the agency to examine the Mountain View, California-based search engine.
The European Commission received the complaint from Twenga yesterday, Antoine Colombani, a spokesman for the Brussels-based regulator, said in an e-mail. Al Verney, a spokesman for Google in Brussels, declined to comment.
Google has "applied several algorithms last year and very recently in order to penalize these kind of products in the search results," Duclaux said in a telephone interview. "Twenga lost more than 30 percent of its audience during the course of August."
Duclaux said Google may also tweak the so-called quality score of websites to demote rival advertising platforms. The score helps set ad prices for the AdWords advertising program.
Google said in February that updates to the search engine were intended to favor "high quality sites" with "original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."

World Bank Management Response
On July 11, 2007, the Committee on Development Effectiveness considered the report Development Results in Middle-Income Countries: An Evaluation of the World Bank's Support, together with the Draft Management Response.BackgroundCODE discussed the Approach Paper for this report in February 2006. At the 2006 Annual Meeting, management presented its strategy for engagement with International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) partner countries and committed to provide an updated action plan for implementation of recommended actions. A Board informal meeting on implementation progress was held on April 10, 2007.
The IEG ReportThe Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) report found that the outcomes of the Bank's country programs in middle-income countries (MICs) have been moderately satisfactory on average in meeting varied country-specific development objectives, including promoting growth and reducing poverty. It also noted that the Bank must become more effective on issues where its work has not yielded pronounced advancements, notably in dealing with inequality, combating corruption, and protecting the environment (IEG is currently undertaking an evaluation on the Bank's activities in the environmental field). IEG recommended that the Bank continue its engagement but take steps to produce greater development effectiveness. This would require the Bank to depart from business as usual and to reinvigorate its relationship with clients, focusing on the following four dimensions: draw on MIC capacity, demonstrate best practice, become more agile, and make the most of Bank Group cooperation.
Draft Management ResponseManagement found the IEG review comprehensive and timely, given the current process of implementing an action plan to strengthen the engagement with IBRD partner countries. In particular, management welcomed the IEG conclusion that the Bank should continue its engagement with MICs. Overall, management found the analysis and conclusions to be in line with its own priorities for action.
Overall ConclusionsThe Committee commended IEG for the depth and robustness of its analysis and for producing a clear and concise report that was not only largely on target but also very timely in informing the Bank Group's long-term strategy exercise, being prepared under the leadership of the chief economist. The Committee broadly endorsed IEG's findings and recommendations, which management substantially agreed to.
With regard to the overall findings, members commended the Bank for its support in fostering growth and reducing poverty in MICs. However, some speakers noted that "average results" were not good enough and that the Bank must strive for excellence, more clearly demonstrating best practice to meet the needs of MICs, which have an expanding choice of sources of development assistance. Others expressed disappointment that the Bank's work has not yielded significant results in addressing inequality, combating corruption, and protecting the environment. The role of knowledge services in the Bank's portfolio drew a number of comments. Several speakers expressed strong support for the Bank to further draw on countries' intellectual and analytical capacities and to adapt its modus operandi for knowledge sharing, including facilitating such sharing between middle-income and low-income countries. In this regard, some speakers emphasized the need to strengthen inhouse professional capacity and skills.
Some speakers stressed enhanced cooperation within the World Bank Group (WBG) and greater agility to adopt different approaches, including use of country systems, given the diversity of MICs, including small MICs. The key was to design an approach centered on innovation, including within the Bank itself. More specifically, there were suggestions to adjust the business models, to further decentralize, to provide greater staff incentives, and to consider feebased advisory services. The related issues of costing and pricing of lending services elicited a diversity of views. Some speakers felt that financial banking services remained the Bank's core business, including a delivery mechanism for knowledge transfer.
The following issues were raised during the meeting.
General IssuesSpeakers generally concurred with IEG findings and recommendations and were pleased with this timely report. They also welcomed management's substantial agreement with the IEG's report as well as the matrix on the MIC Action Plan attached to the Draft Management Response. A number of speakers observed that the IEG report was highly relevant for considering the Bank Group engagement with MICs and to the discussions on the Bank's overall long-term strategy.
Performance of the BankA number of speakers were concerned with the findings that the Bank has not been agile and has struggled to keep pace with the clients' changing needs and demands. The need for more flexibility in the Bank's approach, including adapting resources, staffing, and incentives, was noted.
One member noted that decentralizing resources and authority can help promote flexibility. Several members stressed the importance of rethinking the Bank Group's role and business model to address different needs of a diverse group of countries. In this regard, they noted that the Bank would require innovation in new instruments, subnational lending, and high-quality advice.
Many speakers stressed the need to accelerate the use of country systems in Bank lending, and simplification and modernization of internal processes and procedures. One member observed that the Bank was losing institutional memory and in-house capacity, including staff with expertise in key development areas such as agriculture, infrastructure, and technology transfer. A few speakers felt the IEG report should have analyzed financial aspects such as MICs' access to international financial markets.
IEG responded that its evaluation was centered on an examination of the development effectiveness of Bank work. The evaluation reviewed but did not dwell on issues of the Bank's financing terms, which have been discussed by the Bank and others elsewhere at some length.
Relevance of the Bank's workSeveral speakers shared the view that the precise financing terms of Bank lending were less of a pivotal determinant in clients' borrowing decisions and other factors were very important, including the quality of Bank's work, program relevance, and nonfinancial costs of doing business. However, others emphasized that the financial services of the World Bank and their competitive pricing were still pertinent. Several speakers commended the evaluation's positive reports on the Bank's technical assistance and advisory services. They supported the Bank creating more flexibility in unbundled knowledge from financing, while recognizing bundled services can remain a main strength of the Bank. Regarding fee-based services, a few members indicated that consulting services should not become the mainstream of Bank services to clients. While the Bank's good work on diagnostics was highlighted, its weakness in applying expertise to specific needs was also noted.
Country programsA number of speakers commended the Bank for its considerable success in fostering growth and reducing poverty over the evaluation's 12-year review period. However, they were concerned that less progress was observed in reducing inequality and protecting the poorest during crisis, combating corruption, and protecting the environment.
The importance of considering small MICs and MICs in Sub-Saharan Africa was cited. The moderately satisfactory outcomes, on average, of the Bank's country programs in MICs was welcomed, but some found this disappointing, because the Bank's performance should be excellent, adding value and providing high-quality support. A few speakers expected some discussion on gender issues.
IEG noted that its report contains some analysis on gender issues and points to significant challenges and opportunities for MICs and the Bank on this topic.
Sharing and use of knowledgeSeveral speakers commented on the Bank's role in demonstrating "best practices" to ensure it adds the maximum value it can to MICs in meeting their development challenges. They also noted that MICs' demand for knowledge, including analytical and advisory activities tailored to particular country circumstances. A few members stressed the Bank's comparative advantage in knowledge dissemination. There were also comments on the role of the Bank, which management viewed as a peer-to-peer collaboration rather than a teacherstudent relationship. One member agreed that the Bank was a partner, but another saw it as a knowledge "clearing house" or a teacher helping to identify best practices.
Some members emphasized the Bank's need to draw on the country's own capacity and expertise, partnering with governments and local research institutions to create greater ownership and engender learning. A question was raised on the role of other international financial institutions in knowledge creation and dissemination. One member questioned the application of MICs' experience to less-developed countries. He observed that in the Country Assistance Strategies, the Bank Group was focusing on social development and governance in low-income countries and on economic development in MICs. He felt this trend should be reversed. Another speaker noted that there are different definitions associated with the MIC label and that there are valuable experiences in those countries that are IBRD eligible and often considered as "middle income."
Engagement in global programsSome speakers agreed that it is the Bank's key role to engage MICs in global initiatives, given MICs' growing share of global income and population. However, they found gaps in approach, and a few noted that MICs' commitment to global programs should involve financial contributions and consistent policies.
Cooperation across the Bank GroupSeveral speakers emphasized cooperation within the WBG, which is a recurrent theme in recent discussions. They broadly agreed with IEG's recommendation that such cooperation should be pragmatic and tightly drawn. One member felt that cooperation should be possible while enhancing the comparative advantages of each institution. In this regard, he cautioned about the risks of having a single country management arrangement proposed by IEG.

Big Bus Tours, an operator of open-top sightseeing tours, is expanding its use of GreenRoad, a driver performance and safety management company from London, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, to its fleet of 17 buses touring San Francisco. It is also considering deploying GreenRoad in a further 88 buses in Hong Kong; Shanghai; Washington, D.C., Las Vegas and Miami.GreenRoad has already reduced driving risk 60% for the 70 buses in London where it has been in use by 110 drivers since 2010. The blameworthy incident rate is now just one per 13,000 miles. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have also seen driving performance improve.Using mobile and cloud technology, GreenRoad helps drivers self-improve. It provides them with instant feedback about their maneuvers using the traffic light LEDs on the dashboard as well as detailed analysis and recommendations for drivers and depot managers."Unlike other bus operators speed is not an issue as our drivers remain under 20 mph while our passengers can take in the sites. But GreenRoad gives us peace of mind about the quality of the ride our customers' experience — and this is of utmost importance to us," said Gerry Price, group commercial director, Big Bus Tours.Rather than relying on the feedback from customers and the police, which tends to focus on problems, Big Bus can now understand exactly how its drivers are performing and is looking at rewarding those drivers with the safest GreenRoad scores. "Our drivers appreciate being recognized for good driving skills. As many of our drivers have part-time, seasonal contracts, GreenRoad ensures we hire back the best drivers available. Furthermore, as we are effectively paying the majority of third party claims ourselves through our self-funded account, the reduction in incidents, thanks to GreenRoad, has had a positive impact on our bottom line," added Price.Companies using GreenRoad save money as better drivers use less fuel, have fewer accidents, and cause less vehicle wear-and-tear. GreenRoad embraces the "Connected Fleet" where mobile, cloud computing and real-time insights enable fleet managers to save money, maximize fuel efficiency and minimize risk. A typical customer sees up to a 10% reduction in fuel-consumption and emissions as well as a 50% reduction in collision costs. UK customers include First Group, Stagecoach, Osborne and Bunzl.

Ugly Shoe of the Week: Floral fiasco
We've got nothing inherently against flowers on shoes here at Shoewawa: a little corsage here and there can look adorable, and even a full on flower print can work well in the right designer's hands. This style, however, has a pattern that looks like it would be far more at home on curtains, and probably not the sort of curtains we'd want in our homes, either.
There's also the matter of those heels, which are very much on the clonky side and don't contrast well with the skinny straps. I'd be intrigued to see who could pull a style like this off, but am not likely to take on the experiment myself...

Another law enforcement agency offers unwanted prescription drop off.
This time its the Douglas County Sheriff.
On Saturday October 29th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. the Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), LiveWise Coalition, and Walgreens will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to Walgreens at 132nd & Center. Tablets, capsules, and all other solid dosage forms will be collected.
Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes will not be accepted.
The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. A Deputy Sheriff will be on hand to accept the medications and properly dispose of them. We do ask that drug reps, pharmacists, and clinics refrain from dropping excess inventory at the event.
Last April, Americans turned in over 376,593 pounds—188 tons—of prescription drugs at 5,361 sites operated by more than 3,800 state and local law enforcement partners. On the previous two Take Back Days combined, DEA and its partners collected over 618,000 pounds, or 309 tons, of prescription drugs.
