Register to bid on tax deeds sales at ClerkAuction®.
Properties offered for sale to the highest bidder in order to satisfy delinquent property taxes are referred to as Tax Deed Sales. The Clerk's Office conducts the sale or public auction in accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapter 197 and the Florida Administrative Code Chapter 12D-13.
Property owners are required to pay property taxes on an annual basis to the county Tax Collector. If the owner fails to pay his/her taxes, a tax certificate is sold by the Tax Collector on or before June 1 of the following year. A tax certificate is a lien for unpaid property taxes along with additional monetary penalties, advertising costs and fees.
Anytime within two and seven years of purchasing the certificate, the certificate holder may request the sale of the property to satisfy the certificate by completing a tax deed application with the Tax Collector. The application is then forwarded to the Clerk who administers the sale. The Clerk's fee is $60 for each application. Additional costs for advertising, sheriff's service fees, and certified, registered and regular mail fees must also be paid in order to proceed with the sale. Once all costs have been paid, the Clerk notifies the parties of the date and time of the impending online sale. If any additional fees are accrued after the application is completed, they will be included in the opening bid.
Tax deed information and instructions for participating in the sale are available at ClerkAuction®.
The Clerk's office is not authorized to give legal advice or assist in the research of properties. All properties are sold "as is," and bidders are responsible for conducting their own research as to the condition of the property and the state of the title of the property being sold. If you require legal advice, you should obtain it from a licensed attorney.
For each piece of property purchased, the successful high bidder is required to pay a non-refundable deposit equal to 5 percent of the final bid or $200, whichever is greater, at the time of the sale. If the successful bidder fails to immediately post the deposit, the bid is deemed invalid and the bidding starts over.
The property owner can redeem his or her property by satisfying the liens prior to the Clerk receiving payment for the sale.

JASPERS Stakeholders meeting in Malta on 15-16 April, 2013
JASPERS fifth Stakeholders meeting took place in Malta on 15-16 April, 2013. The event was attended by over one hundred representatives of the JASPERS beneficiary countries and by JASPERS' partners (EIB, DG Regional Policy, EBRD and KfW). Stakeholders Meetings are an opportunity for partners and beneficiary countries to discuss issues of mutual interest and to provide feedback to JASPERS.
The 2013 meeting was structured around three sessions:
1) The practice of JASPERS cooperation / Lesson learnt in the 2007-2013 programming period
2) The activity of JASPERS in the 2014-2020 programming period
3) The transition between the two programming periods
Each of the three topics was discussed in round tables and a spokesperson in each table summarised the discussion, creating an appropriate framework for interactive discussion and exchange of ideas.
There was a general agreement that JASPERS adds value and an overall positive assessment of the support received from JASPERS with specific benefits in terms of deadlines for approval of projects, felxibility and objectivity.
The proposal to have JASPERS act as an Independent Quality Reviewer (IQR) was welcomed and there was unanimous support for JASPERS newly launched knowledge tool, the Networking Platform.
Member States representatives emphasised the importance of having the right expertise in the IQR function in order to guarantee its independence, including from JASPERS project preparation work.

JASPERS Stakeholders' meeting in BUDAPEST on 7-8 April 2011
JASPERS held its third Stakeholders meeting in Budapest, Hungary on 7-8 April 2011. The first such meeting took place in Krakow, Poland in May 2009 and the second in Sofia, Bulgaria in June 2010. The specific objective of this year's meeting was to identify measures to better assist countries/managing authorities/final beneficiaries in improving the quality of submissions as well as streamlining the application process. The event was attended by some 100 representatives from managing authorities and line ministries from the JASPERS-supported countries, and by representatives of JASPERS partners, including the Commission (DG REGIO), EIB, EBRD and KfW.
In his introductory remarks to the first session on "JASPERS Strategy 2011-2013", Rudolf Niessler (Director, DG REGIO) said: "In the next two years, according to the latest forecast, 264 applications will be submitted. The quality of these applications will be crucial. On our side, we should consider taking important steps to increase the efficiency of processing of applications".
The second session, chaired by Agustin Auria (Head of JASPERS, EIB), included an analysis of interruption letters; of the guidelines for the preparation and review of applications; of the new Completion Note format; of the imprtance of progress bilateral and trilateral meetings; and of the key remaining horizontal issues.
On 8 April, Matthias Kollatz-Ahnen (Vice President, EIB) chaired the morning session, continuing the discussion on the outstanding points of the second session and taking a closer look at the future of JASPERS after 2013. "JASPERS is unique at creating public knowledge and at establishing public and collective memory. Nothing, however, can replace the public administration and the role of the managing authorities. In the long run, nothing can be really effective without ownership", said Mr Kollatz-Ahnen.
Mr Kollatz-Ahnen also chaired the third session, focussing on the future perspectives of JASPERS and including an overview of the timetable and process for the preparation of new Regulations and a debate on the Member States' views on the future demand for JASPERS.
All panel discussions comprised presentations from the managing authorities participating at the meeting and were followed by a lively debate.

The Masonry staff bought in to the idea of having a website to support our magazine early on. As part of the media, we knew we had to keep up, so jumping aboard the Internet was an easy decision. As different waves of social media have come crashing to shore, we've played the wait-and-see game. What was for real, and what was merely a passing fad? As it turned out, I built a FaceBook page to support Masonry last year.
This year, our staff has issued a full-court press on social media. As we launch and introduce our new online endeavors, I invite you to follow, add, friend, subscribe and visit anything and everything that is Masonry Magazine. We want to help establish and build a strong online community focusing on issues important to our industry, and we need your engagement and participation to do so. As the Mason Contractors Association of America always says, "Together, we are stronger."
Check out our different social media channels, and let's start communicating – today. I look forward to "meeting" you in cyberspace.

Ciara and Future Step Out Together in Beverly Hills
Are Ciara and Future taking their relationship to the next level? The Atlanta rapper and singer were spotted dining at Crustacean in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. Ciara walked ahead of Future as they made their way to the valet. There have been rumors that the two are an item after CiCi jumped on the remix to Future's "Turn On the Lights" and Future returned the favor, guesting on the remix to "Sorry."
If her past relationships are any indication, don't expect the private CiCi to address the topic. However, she does open up to the camera about her past on MTV's "This Is How I Made It," airing Saturday at 12 p.m.
Future has been busy in the studio working on his new album Future Hendrix, which is already 40 percent done. Collaborators include Kanye West, Kelly Rowland, Jeremih, and Ciara.

Doug Marrone enters his second season as Buffalo's head coach in 2014, his ninth year NFL coaching ranks.
Marrone instilled a coaching philosophy in his first year that is centered around the phrase 'What it means to be a Buffalo Bill,' a belief he and his coaching staff share that holds players accountable and prepares them to be mentally and physically tough.
Doug Marrone enters his second season as Buffalo's head coach in 2014, his ninth year NFL coaching ranks.
Marrone instilled a coaching philosophy in his first year that is centered around the phrase 'What it means to be a Buffalo Bill,' a belief he and his coaching staff share that holds players accountable and prepares them to be mentally and physically tough.
Buffalo accomplished several feats under Marrone in 2013 as the team finished the season with a 6-10 mark. The offensive unit paced the AFC and finished second in the NFL with an average of 144 .2 rushing yards per game and led the league with a 95.5-percent red zone efficiency mark. The Bills' defense established a team record with 57 .0 sacks – second-most in the NFL and an AFC-best – while recording 23 interceptions, also a conference high and second in the League.
Three players earned Pro Bowl recognition honors following the 2013 campaign – FS Jairus Byrd, DT Kyle Williams and DE Mario Williams – to mark the first time since 2004 that three Bills defenders were selected to the annual game. DT Marcell Dareus was added to the Pro Bowl roster prior to the game.
Marrone also saw extensive contributions from several members of the team's 2013 rookie class. QB EJ Manuel made 10 starts and set team rookie records for passing touchdowns (11) and completions (180). WR Robert Woods finished fifth in the NFL among the 2013 rookie class hauling in 40 catches for 587 yards and three touchdowns. LB Kiko Alonso started each of the team's 16 games and led the team with 159 tackles – third-most by an NFL defender.
Since joining the Bills, Marrone has been on the forefront of the Western New York community. Marrone has been actively involved with Clear Path for Veterans in Chittenango, NY with 100-percent of any fundraising proceeds going to support local veterans. He has also been a keynote speaker at several events and showed support for USA Football's on-going promotion of its Head Up Program with events at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Marrone spent the four years before joining the Bills as the head coach of his alma mater's football program at Syracuse University from 2009-12 and led the program to a 21-17 record in the last three seasons. He guided the Orange to an 8-5 mark in 2010 and 2012 – with both campaigns culminating in a New Era Pinstripe Bowl Championship.
Syracuse's offense set several program records in 2012 for total yards (5,681), passing yards (3,619) and first downs (300).
In 2011, the Orange had a school-record and league-leading 28 student athletes named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team. After guiding Syracuse to the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl Championship, Marrone was tabbed the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Region 1 Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award .
Prior to his Syracuse tenure, Marrone spent seven years in the NFL . From 2006-08 he served as the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints after a four-year span as the offensive line coach of the New York Jets (2002-05).
The Saints led the NFL in total offense and passing yards per game in 2006 (391.5 total yards/game and 281.4 passing yards/game) and 2008 (410.7 total yards/game and 311.1 passing yards/game).
Prior to his arrival in New Orleans, the franchise never had a 4,000-yard passer or posted more than 5,700 yards of offense. Quarterback Drew Brees eclipsed 4,000 passing yards and the offense tallied more than 5,700 yards in each of Marrone's three years with the Saints .
The Saints set a team record with an NFL-best 6,264 yards of offense in 2006, 5,780 in 2007 (in the NFL) and led the league once again in 2008with 6,571 yards.
In his first season as an NFL offensive coordinator in 2006, the Saints set franchise records for first downs (330), average yards per play (5.8) and passing yards (4,503). Left tackle Jammal Brown was voted All-Pro and to the Pro Bowl in his first year at the position, while Guard Jahri Evans was a unanimous All-Rookie selection.
The Saints' offense finished fourth in the NFL in 2007 and led the league in red zone touchdown percentage (.720, 36 of 50) while posting an NFC-best 46 .3 percent third-down conversion mark. New Orleans also broke the team's previous season's first down record (346) while setting an NFL record for completions (440) and franchise bests for passing first downs (222), attempts (652), touchdown passes (28) and completion percentage (67.5).
The Saints led the NFL in total offense for the second time in three years in 2008 while setting team records for points (463), total yards (6,571), net passing yards (4,977), touchdowns (57) and first downs (354).
The Saints' offensive line was instrumental in the team's success under Marrone's guidance. The offensive front held their opponents to the fewest sacks allowed in 2006 (16) and tied for the fewest sacks yielded from 2006-08 with 52 despite throwing the ball 1,868 times – most attempts in the three-year span.
Quarterback Drew Brees captured the NFL passing title in 2006 (4,418) and 2008 (5,069). He became just the second passer in NFL history to reach the 5,000-yard milestone in league record books (Dan Marino – 1984). In 2008, Brees was tabbed the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year. From 2006-08, Brees led the NFL with 13,910 passing yards and 1,209 completions.
During his time with the New York Jets from 2002- 05, the team made two postseason appearances (2002 and 2004).
In 2004, the Jets' offensive line paved the way for the league's third-best rushing offense (149.3 rushing yards/game) while tallying the second- most rushing first downs (135). Running Back Curtis Martin led the NFL with 1,697 rushing yards and posted nine 100-yard games .
The Jets' offensive line helped the offense post an average of 5 .3 yards per play and a 4 .0 yards gain per rushing attempt in 2003. In his first season with the Jets in 2002, despite having two new starters along the offensive line, the rushing offense totaled 1,618 yards.
Before arriving in New York, Marrone coached the tight ends and tackles at the University of Tennessee in 2001 . He spent the 2000 season at the University of Georgia as the program's offensive line coach after spending the previous five years at Georgia Tech. In 1995, Marrone was the director of football operations before coaching the tight ends in 1996 and offensive line from 1997-99.
In 1999, the Yellow Jackets led the nation in total offense (509.4 yards/game) and points per game (40.7). Marrone was part of a coaching staff that helped guide the school to a bowl game in three consecutive years (1997-99).
Marrone's coaching career began in 1992 at Cortland (N.Y.) State as the school's tight ends coach before stints as the offensive line coach at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (1993) and Northeastern University in 1994.
Marrone, a Bronx, N.Y. native, was drafted in the sixth-round of the 1986 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Raiders and played two years in the NFL, first with the Miami Dolphins in 1987 and then with the Saints in 1989. He also had playing stints with Pittsburgh, Dallas and Minnesota before closing his career with the NFLE London Monarchs (1991-92).
A three-year letterman at Syracuse along the offensive line, Marrone earned Associated Press All-East accolades as a senior and second team honors as a junior.He was tabbed AP All-East Honorable mention in his sophomore year. During his time with the first string offense, the Orange compiled a 19-15 record and made their first bowl game appearance in six years.Marrone and his teammates, including All-American Tim Green, helped lay the foundation that resulted in the program's 1987 undefeated season.
Marrone returned to Syracuse and graduated in 1991 with a degree in liberal arts. He and his wife, Helen, have two daughters, Madeline and Anne, and a son, Mack.

By Chris Fici
As most of you probably know, the corporate entity is the most dominant "person" in the world today. Since an1866 decision by the United States Supreme Court gave corporations the same rights of personhood as natural persons under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the corporation has come to dominate our global society.
In that same time frame, the idea of our collective natural ecology has been slowly depersonalized. Whereas many previous cultures and traditions viewed the environment as a mutual personality in harmony with the physical and spiritual aspirations of the people who lived upon the land, today the relationship between economy and ecology remains largely one of exploitation.
The entire human experiment on this planet now rests on whether we can reverse the tide of personalizing the corporation at the expense of depersonalizing the environment. If we cannot restore to our ecology the very rights of personhood we have placed on corporations, then none of our profits will be sustainable. Indeed, the very infrastructures of our society will not survive.
This is not to sound strident, or to discount the enlightened economics of many of our fellow readers here at Good-b, but there is a serious sense of urgency which must be confronted with all the courage and spirit we can muster.
In the bhakti-yoga tradition of India, of which I have been a practitioner now for over a decade, the sacred nature of personhood is at the essence of belief and practice. Every living being, and the collective fabric of life itself, is endowed with a personhood that is their very spiritual essence.
In the great Hindu classic The Bhagavad-Gita, it is said by Krishna that:
The humble sages, by virtue of true knowledge, see with equal vision a learned and gentle brāhmaṇa, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste].[1]
Without this vision, this anchor of the personality, then there is an emptiness in which emotion, reason, and devotion cannot enter. My own practice is helping me to rediscover the importance of seeing our world in the terms of the most intimate sense of the person. This has helped me to rediscover the bridge between my spirituality and the activist vision of the world I want to participate in.
The issue of corporate personhood vs. natural personhood saturates the many debates over the direction of our society, not the least in the American presidential debate, where Mitt Romney is on record as saying "corporations are people too." Barack Obama replies that "Corporations aren't people. People are people." This goes well beyond the zingers of a presidential campaign. The statements of these two candidates reflect a cultural battle in the economic and ecological fields that lay at the heart of the future of humanity.
The acclaimed documentary, "The Corporation," has famously laid out a compelling argument that the corporate personality is a deeply unhealthy personality. In the film, the corporate entity is shown having many of the same symptoms of a psychopathic personality.
The way that the corporate person has tended to treat the natural person has created a existential crisis, in which the 'tipping points" towards a torrid future on this planet may have already been passed. Noted author and ecological activist Bill McKibben laid out with forbidding clarity the "terrifying new math" resulting from our depersonalization of the natural world.
For the corporate entity, the tendency is to see the constituents of life only as numbers and assets, potential profits and potential obstacles, to put the economic bottom line ahead of any other consideration. The entire harmony of life is thrown entirely off-balance in the direction of those few with the power and ability to exploit the world around them for their own self-interested ends.
The tendency of the corporate entity is to see the opulence of the natural environment as resources to be privatized, owned, used by whatever means to increase profits. Ideas of the Commons, of seeing the land as potentially divine or of belonging to the Divine, of the land being of the public trust of the people, is thrown aside in favor of depersonalization and commodification of the ecology that sustains us. The world around us becomes simply another branding opportunity.
The depersonalization of the natural world now extends to the level of our genes, to the very substance of life itself, creating a giant petri dish of which we are the subjects to an experiment whose results are still very much up in the air. As economist Jeremy Rifkin mentions in The Corporation, biotech companies treat the natural genomes as a utility, looking for any kind of "buried treasure."
The essential idea is that the personality of the corporate entity looks to the natural world not with a vision of harmony, but with a vision towards an unhealthy competition that is truly destructive. To reverse this tide, all of us, including those of us working within the corporate system, must work to re-personalize our relationship with the natural world. The personality of the corporate entity may not tend towards morality and harmony, but the people who make up the corporate entity can act in a human, personal way.

- Think of possible, tough questions
- Prepare
- Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse
- Case study: Animal research
Most of your interactions with the mass media and the public will be friendly, or at least civil. Still, it's a common nightmare: you're ambushed by "60 Minutes" with Mike Wallace in his heyday, wanting to know where the money went or how your project is harming the public.
Facing an inquisition can definitely drive up your blood pressure, whether the questions come from a reporter during an interview or a 7th-grader during a school outreach visit. But as with interviewing in general, practice and preparation will give you the confidence and ready responses you need to field hostile questions like a pro.
Granted, if you unexpectedly find a camera in your face and a reporter yelling questions at you, you've got to think quickly. But in most cases, you'll have some advance warning that the media, or other listeners, might be on your case.
For neuroscientists, a hot-button topic you should always be prepared to encounter is the use of animals in research. In the last decade, activist groups have challenged the value and ethics of medical research involving vertebrate animals – sometimes violently. While all researchers are subject to attack, those who work with non-human primates tend to draw the heaviest fire.
Animal extremists work against a backdrop of general public approval for animal medical research. But approval that is not as solid as scientists might prefer. Fifty-seven per cent of Americans told Gallup Poll in 2009 that they find medical testing on animals "morally acceptable" -- that's down from 62% on the same poll in 2003.
Public support for animal research is clearly not a slam-dunk. Scientists who talk with the media have the opportunity to educate the public on the value of this work.
The goal here is not to change the mind of a dedicated animal-research opponent - we know that's unrealistic. The goal is to help the average citizen understand both intellectually and emotionally why you think the pros of animal research outweigh the cons.
You may be giving a talk at a public venue and be asked about use of animals in your work. Or, for reasons unrelated to your research, your institution may draw protests from groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and you may have reporters calling you for comment. In any case, it's critical that you have an appropriate response ready to go!
A note on violence
This section assumes you're having an interview or conversation with someone who's interested in genuine dialogue, even if contentious. Some scientists, on the other hand, find themselves in situations where no dialogue is happening -- instead, they're being harassed, shouted down, or physically threatened.
In this case, your own safety and the security of your colleagues and lab are the number-one priority. Your first calls should be to campus security, law enforcement, and your institutional research office.
Preparing your message
Preparing for an adversarial interview or appearance is like preparing for any interview, but times 10. The same methods apply: analyzing the audience, thinking about the big picture, preparing pithy statements. But you'll want to be extra-sure you've covered the bases.
As with many contentious issues, animal research draws a spectrum of viewpoints. There are people at both extremes: some who think that animal research is absolutely wrong and should never take place, and others who think use of animals should be unlimited and unconditional.
As you can imagine, most people fall in the middle. They may be uneasy with some parts of animal research, but support it when the benefits outweigh the negatives. Your job is to explain how the use of animals in your lab or institution maximizes the pros while minimizing the cons.
Frequently, animal research opponents bring up two basic points: (1) Scientists cause animals to suffer, and (2) animal use is not justified by any necessity -- scientific, moral, or otherwise. You need to have counterarguments prepared for both these assertions.
If your audience views an issue emotionally, you need the sinceritye of conviction when you respond to questions. This means there's no one ideal canned answer to questions like those on animal research. You'll need to do some reflecting and come up with the response that's true for you.
Tips on preparing your messages
1. Do your homework to know the common questions
As attacks (verbal and otherwise) on biomedical researchers have increased, groups have rallied to promote public education and to support scientists who use animals.
These groups offer excellent resources for preparing your talking points before an interview. A half-hour spent reading through their materials will leave you feeling much better "briefed" for any encounter with the media. You will find information on the history of animal research, lists of frequently-asked questions (and answers), and lists of major research achievements that involved animals. A few suggested groups:
- Understanding Animal Research (has a timeline of biomedical research accomplishments using animals)
- Society for Neuroscience
- Foundation for Biomedical Research
- Americans for Medical Progress
- UCLA Pro-Test
- The American Physiological Society
- Speaking of Research
According to the Society for Neuroscience, commonly asked questions include the following:
- Is animal research really that necessary? Why can't animal research be replaced by modeling and simulation?
- Why are so many animals used in research?
- Is there any oversight of researchers using animals?
- Don't you care about the well-being of animals?
- Does your research cause pain?
- Do the animals come from shelters or from people's homes?
You'll want to have answers prepared for these questions at any time, any place.
2. Point out common ground with your questioner
In general, you're likely to get a more receptive response to your message if you point out areas where your views intersect with the audience's. The audience cares about animals; chances are you do, too. You can connect by pointing this out:
"I agree with you that all creatures deserve humane treatment, and that animals should be used in research only when we can't approach important topics in any other way."
"I care about animals too, and I would not use them in research unless I felt they were being well treated and there was no other way to find a cure for this serious disease."
3. Keep your focus on the "big picture"
Remember your "big picture" messages we talked about earlier? These are your common-language explanations of what your research is trying to achieve. No matter how technically minute your work is, if you've received funding you've had to show a review board somewhere how it contributes to the public good.
What you need to do here is state that public good in terms so the public "gets" its value not just intellectually, but at gut level. If you're defending use of animals, you use the big picture not just of your own work, but of medical science overall to state your case, using examples of treatments we now take for granted that exist only due to animal work.
"I realize that many people have concerns about using animals in research, and I respect that. But let's talk for a minute about all the treatments we have available that we owe to animal research."
4. Don't be afraid to meet emotion with emotion
One thing that differs about some adversarial questions compared with most interview questions is their emotional content. This is certainly true about most questions that deal with animal research.
While scientists tend toward logical answers and explanations, these may not adequately address the emotional context of questioner. They can make you sound evasive or insensitive. Thus, it's essential that you come up with a response that comfortable for you, but also addresses the questioner's emotions.
For example, if you're asked about the pain or discomfort that mice could feel in an experiment – for example, injections – you could explain that your experiments are designed to minimize the animals' discomfort, or that your work has been approved by your institutional IACUC.
This might be a great intellectual answer, but it might not address the emotional content of the interviewer's question. So you could also respond at a similar level:
"Alcoholism is a horrible disease. It takes promising individuals and destroys their lives. It tears apart families and kills innocent people who happen to be driving their cars at the wrong time. It would be wonderful if we could do our research without mice, but that is the only way we can answer important questions about behavior."
If you have a personal anecdote or story that demonstrates the importance of research, and you are comfortable sharing it, this can be a powerful tool for connecting with the audience.
"A friend's 7-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia last year. He received a bone-marrow transplant and is still alive today. The surgery he had was developed with research on animals. Without it, he wouldn't have survived. How would you feel if that were your child, or your niece or nephew or grandkid? Would you want that treatment to be available?"
This is a place where the "intensity" part of "relaxed intensity" really comes into play. Don't hesitate to use some emotional force to counter a question! We're not talking about losing your temper or getting out of control. But the debate on these issues is central not only to your career, but to science and medicine as well. If you're passionate about it, let it show!
5. Pay attention to language
The term "animal model" may be stock-in-trade among research scientists, but it will draw a blank look from the general public. The same goes for terms such as "cell line" and "culture." "Vertebrate," "invertebrate," and "primate" are a little less obscure, but still ill-advised for a lay audience.
Using scientific terminology will at best confuse your listener, and at worst convince them that you are trying to distance yourself from the subject.
Bring the discussion into everyday language. If your audience is thinking in terms of cute fuzzy mice or human-like monkeys, talk about mice and monkeys. It will help you communicate more effectively, and will let your audience know you can reach outside the ivory tower.
If you do want to use the term "animal model" and are willing to explain it, use it as an educational moment and establish your expertise. Explain the rationale for scientists using animals, and the thinking that goes behind decisions on experimental design.
All-purpose tips for adversarial situations
During the interview, don't be afraid to say, "Your premise is wrong" or "I disagree with the premise of your question." Again, think offensively, not defensively. Get your information and expertise out there by being confident and forceful.
If you see the conversation heading in a direction where you anticipate a challenge from the interviewer, and you're comfortable being "pre-emptive," you can jump in and grab the bull by the horns. Just make sure you can back up your messages.
But it goes without saying that not being truthful will come back to haunt you. There may be information you're not at liberty to divulge and you may not want to offer it anyway, but be forthright and truthful. And don't leave the wrong impression with anything you say.
And whatever you do, never, ever say "No comment." There's always something you CAN say.
The preparation that's essential for any interview or public appearance is extra-critical if you anticipate an adversarial interaction.
Prepare and rehearse. Prepare and rehearse. Practice your "lines" over and over until you can call them up and deliver them without hesitation. It's like taking a CPR refresher course: you hope you'll never need it. But if you do, you'll be very glad you had it.

Besides utilizing the most appropriate technology, it's crucial to put a few procedures in place. Doing so sets protocol and notifies all employees of your policies and expectations for the telecommuting program.
First, insist that all equipment be installed before employees are allowed to begin telecommuting. You don't want to be working out major glitches in the system or have workers cut off from the office because modems and phone lines have yet to be installed.
Key managers must also be trained in how to manage telecommuters. Many managers like the idea of telecommuting--just not for their employees. They often worry about loss of control and their ability to keep a close eye on workers. Explain the benefits of telecommuting to them and the methods for communicating with and monitoring employees. Start out with a small group of telecommuters before full deployment so everyone can ease into the transition.
Developing a written telecommuting policy is key. At ConnexT, potential telecommuters are given a company telecommuting policy that contains an expense sheet, an individual checklist for determining whether their job is suited for telecommuting, a telecommuting agreement that outlines what's expected of them, and a list of the equipment and services the company will provide. Be sure to cover such issues as eligibility for participation, expected work hours, personal use of company-owned equipment and provisions for staying in touch.
Finally, create methods for measuring the effectiveness of your program and evaluating changes in productivity and employee morale. Continue to make adjustments as more employees become integrated into this new working style. Says Bismuth, "We've made a very strategic decision about how we're going to run the company in the future. Once you get started [telecommuting], you have to be committed to making it work."

Vail Resorts Receives US Forest Service Approval For 543 Acre Terrain Expansion At Breckenridge Ski Resort
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) announced that it has received approval from the U.S. Forest Service for a 543-acre terrain expansion in the Peak 6 area of Breckenridge Ski Resort. Peak 6 will include 400 acres of lift-served terrain and 143 acres of hike-to terrain. The Company expects to open the new terrain for the 2013-2014 ski season, including adding a new high-speed, six person chairlift and a new fixed-grip chairlift to access the Peak 6 area.
"Peak 6 will be a tremendous addition to Breckenridge, significantly improving the guest experience by adding both new terrain and lift capacity," said Rob Katz, chairman and CEO of Vail Resorts. "In addition, the new terrain provides access to intermediate runs and high alpine bowl skiing that will be enjoyed by a wide variety of our guests."
The approval came in the form of a Record of Decision by the US Forest Service after completing a Final Environmental Impact Statement, a process which began with project scoping in 2007. The decision remains subject to appeal for 45 days.
Peak 6 is the first ski terrain expansion on U.S. Forest Service land in Colorado since 2008 and the first at Breckenridge since the Peak 7 expansion in 2002.About Breckenridge Ski ResortWith four huge peaks, 2,358 acres, five terrain parks, two halfpipes, eight bowls, the highest chairlift in North America, family-friendly terrain, and a world-class ski school, all situated above an authentic, hip mountain town with awe-inspiring views, there are good reasons why "Breck" is one of the most popular ski resorts in the Western Hemisphere. Renowned for the welcoming spirit and friendly character of their locals, with over 200 restaurants, bars, and shops, and numerous year-round activities and events, Breck embodies more than just a destination, inspiring a way of life. www.breckenridge.com.

Makita BDF456 (replaces BDF452) 18v Drill Driver + FREE Torch - Sold via FastFix £149.95
This is a professional grade makita drill, with metal gears. Not to be compared with the cheaper makita 453 thats on offer at screwfix.
Comes with a 3.0AH Li-Ion battery and a charger and case. I have just got this drill and am really impressed.
For those who know about Makita's the number at the end of the model code denotes where they are in the range (**1 is the top end, dropping down the range as the number climbs). Dont be misled, they have broken with convention on this drill the 456, is the new 452 (see here: http://www.makita.nl/images/files/onderdelen/nl/BDF456-TE.pdf).
Its a lot more money everywhere I looked.
Mine came with the free torch. Which is pretty good, but as they state 'while stocks last' I would buy presuming you wont get it, then if it turns up its a bonus.
(Hope I have posted this correctly, its my first deal - hope it helps somebody. Realise this wont get hot, as most people arent in the market for high-end drills)

- toaster2 years, 2 weeks ago #2Show comment tools ReplyI have the previous BDF452 drill/driver and it's a superb compact and powerful drill, batteries last ages. This looks a stonking price for this model, heat added.

- maverik_771 year, 11 months ago #4Show comment tools ReplyThanks for the find, Was looking for a decent one for some time... Having heard issues with Makita's 3 speed gear box settled for this.
You were spot on in saying "Realise this wont get hot, as most people arent in the market for high-end drills"
Voted hot...
- Kingb41 year, 11 months ago #5Show comment tools ReplyThanks Maverik - happy it has helped someone. Let me know if they send the torch. I wouldnt have paid for it previously, however now I have it, I use it all the time.
- maverik_771 year, 11 months ago #6Show comment tools ReplyAfter deliberation over the holiday period i upgraded the BDF456 to a BHP458 by paying the difference of £50 yesterday before they could ship the BDF456 . The increase of power and hammer mode swayed me away. I was reluctant to get the BHP451 due to gearbox issues and them running batteries to death. The BHP458 being their new line should have fixed all the old niggling issues. The BHP458 is a 2 speed combi but packs more power than the mighty BHP451 (40/80 Nm for 451 vs 44/88Nm for 458). It has the new motor from Makita, which i think is stubbier and heavier than the one in BHP 451.. For sure this is a wrist breaker if not used with care. At the current BHP451 price of £199 the BHP458 seems to be a bargain.
One thing i noticed from other drills is that how big the re-designed grip was (I have used 451 and other Bosch 18v ones). It feels great for my above average sized hands but my other half found it tough and has told me that she will only use the old drill.
I know this drill is too much for occasional DIY use, but i do not want a tool to fail after 2 or 3 years when the warranty has run out... i know batteries will, but those are easy to replace.
BTW Kingb4, they did not send the torch as i changed the order, but send me a tool belt and pouch, which not being a tradesman i don't think i will ever wear. That being said, I don't think i would have used if they had send me a torch because i have a Lithium powered 3 LED XML-T6 with me already.
- Kingb41 year, 11 months ago #7Show comment tools ReplyThanks maverik. I have a 451 which has served me well for many years. Never had gearbox issues, other than occasionally struggling to get the 3rd gear. Have changed brushes on it a few times. The 458 should last years... just be careful how you treat the li-ion batteries.

Makita seem to have fixed their new drills for the battery drying issue. In 458, the inbuilt battery tester showed that that the battery still had low charge, but the drill would not budge which is good news for the li-ion batteries.

Addiction Treatment Centers
If you're looking for help with an addiction in Volusia County or for a Volusia County addiction counseling these professionals provide addiction therapy (or addiction therapies) and addiction treatment in Volusia County. Addictions are deceptive: they begin small and then take a hold so that behaviors as common as smoking addiction, or quitting smoking, may become challenging to change. Professional help can be vital. These professionals include addiction Treatment Centers, addiction psychologists and addiction counselors in Volusia County. They can help addicts with alcohol addiction, drug addictions, and less understood addictions like gambling addiction, internet addiction and sex addiction.
For substance abuse, the professionals have experience helping individuals with cocaine addiction, marijuana addiction, methamphetamines ('meths' addiction), opiate addiction and heroine addiction. They provide Volusia County addiction counseling, addiction intervention, addiction support, referrals in Volusia County, detox, rehab and Volusia County 12 step programs.
Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment
Residential Inpatient treatment in Volusia County usually consists of 24 hour care at a live-in facility. Full treatment services, including medical and behavioral therapy are provided all at one location near Volusia County.
Medical supervision is generally placed over each resident. In drug treatment centers, clients can detox safely. In eating disorder centers in Volusia County, residential programs enable effective monitoring of the client's health during the treatment program.
Inpatient care offers a structured atmosphere and allows the client and providers to focus on physical and psychological healing.
Outpatient treatment programs in Volusia County or clinics provide flexibility to those who are unable to take time away from their regular lives, work or school. Programs typically meet at the clinic a couple of times every week for a few hours at a time.
Because clients are living away from the centers, outpatient facilities in Volusia County are less able to focus on medical conditions and nutritional needs.
Certain programs provide a combination of the in/out approach: Inpatient for medical stabilization, partial hospitalization for moderate cases, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient clinics for follow-up.

[SUMMARY: Bp. Ratko Peric of Mostar-Duvno in Bosnia and Herzegovina has sent letters to the pastor and a parochial vicar at Medjugorje, with specific directives about how they and the parish are not to promote the alleged apparitions of the place:
- that alleged messages and commentaries on them are not to be published;
- that prayers from the apparitions are not to be used publicly;
- the parish church is not to be called a "shrine", even privately;
- that foreign priests may not give conferences or retreats without permission of the bishop;
- foreign priests wishing to offer Mass must present a celebret from their diocese or order, and the information is to be recorded;
- a privately-built church has already been closed and is not to be used;
- unauthorized religious communities have no permission to set up residence;
- and about regulating several other forms of promotion of the alleged phenomenon.

What is your take on these apparitions? The Pope should take an official stance on this one I think because of all the divisiveness.
- Marcel said...
The Church usually doesn't make a definitive statement until the apparitions end. But, this is about as clear as it gets, in my opinion.

Can I quit cold turkey- PLEASE HELP
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-11-2005 - 10:17am
Please give me all ideas and suggestions to help me quit cold turkey. This morning I got ready for my one daily pump and undid my bra. Instantly my nipple began dripping blood. Hadn't even begun pumping yet. =-( So I got that to stop and then lubed up with olive oil. I put the horns on and made sure my PIS was on a minimal setting. OMG. There's no way. I just wanted to cry. So I said to myself "All done".
I know quiting cold turkey will not be comfortible. But I guarantee engorgement is better then feeling like razor blades are slicing my nipples off.
I get about 15 ounces in my one pump a day.
I got a bottle of lechithin (sp?) around here somewhere. What about cabbage leaves and is it allergy meds or sinus? I can't remember. Pleaseee help me.
On a side note, Troy will drink anything I put in his bottle. Yesterday he had 2 bottles of BM, 1 bottle of formula, and at bedtime he drank a full bottle of cows milk. He's not picky, thank goodness. And I've done good as he is 11 1/2 months old!
|Mon, 04-11-2005 - 10:45am
I am pretty sure I got a nasty case of thrush, and have been treating with gentian violet. This is the 3rd time since Troy's been 9 months old that I've had the pain, cracking and bleeding. I am tired of it!
Stick a fork in me and call me done!
If my son was picky I would care. But he doesn't.
|Mon, 04-11-2005 - 12:42pm
You poor woman!! IM so sorry. I just weaned after 6 months of pumping and I did it all wrong from day one. Here is what worked wonders for me in 3 days I was dried, no more plugged ducts and felt empty! Now, granted I pumped 50 oz. daily, your doing 15 IM sure this makes a difference (IM guessing) it took me almost 4 weeks to wean. If your going to do this cold turkey then here is what I would do. NO HOT SHOWERS, NO MASSAGING BREAST! This was my big mistake, I kept massging my breast and taking hot showers, this only makes your body want to produce more milk. DO use CABBAGE I swear by it now! DO take sudefed. Do wear a GOOD support bra and DO use ice packs! You can try to put an ace badnage on really tight but again this is a myth and my doc. said no, it wont help, it puts pressure and in return tells your body to produce. What I did was everything oppistie of what I did to increase my supply...
Take ADVIL also...=)
|Mon, 04-11-2005 - 1:57pm
Cabbage leaves in a good fitting bra. Change them everytime they start to wilt. Sudafed, also. Good luck!
|Mon, 04-18-2005 - 11:48pm
Like Reeni said, do not encourage your breasts to make more milk by massaging them or letting the hot water run over them (yes, it feels good, but....). When DD died (granted, I hadn't established a good supply) and my milk came in, I wrapped my breasts with an ace bandage and wore a super tight sports bra. It hurt like heck, but I was able to avoid mastitis and clogged ducts. It took about 2 weeks for them to be "back to normal". I didn't try the cabbage leaves as I hadn't heard of that trick but later heard that if you are allergic to any drug in the Sulfa group, not to do this as you will have a reaction (I do have this allergy so it was important that I found this out before I wean DS down the road here). Just wanted to put that out there in case it helps anyone else.
Good luck!!!

King County pet amnesty, no fines or penalties in Aprilon March 29, 2013 @ 11:11 am (Updated: 2:11 pm - 3/29/13 )
April is pet license amnesty month in Seattle and King County, your chance to avoid a big fine and update your pet's license.
The last amnesty in King County was in 2005. It allows pet owners in Seattle and King County to buy a license or renew an outdated license.
Seattle Animal Shelter director Don Jordan said the fine for an un-licensed pet is $125 per animal.
"Whether you have a dog or cat, you can come forward and renew your delinquent license without fear of penalty or citation," said Jordan. That goes for new pet licenses, too.
Jordan said it's important to keep license information updated.
"Because often-times, when animals come into the shelter, and they're wearing a pet license, the folks have not updated their information so it creates a real challenge for us to re-unite that animal with its owner," said Jordan.
Licensing fees pay for animal shelters as well as abuse and nuisance investigations.
Seattle has an estimated 125,000 dogs and 250,000 domestic household cats but Jordan says license compliance is only 25-to-30 percent.
