text: WVU needs to show its nasty side By Dave Hickman January 10, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Deniz Kilicli sat in a folding chair just outside West Virginia's locker room at the Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, late Wednesday night. He pounded one meaty fist into another meaty palm time and again as he spoke, and the sound was such that even in the noisy, cramped hallway, others turned to stare.Were your knowledge of WVU's basketball team limited to events of the past two months, it would be logical to assume Kilicli, the Mountaineers' 6-foot-9, 260-pound center, was striking fist to palm in frustration. After all, frustration is largely what this season has been made of.This was different, though. This time Kilicli was simply making a point, one that perhaps he and his teammates finally have come to acknowledge after hearing Bob Huggins preach it incessantly."That's what we do. We just hit 'em, hit 'em, hit 'em, hit 'em, hit 'em,'' Kilicli said, hammering his fist each time for emphasis. "Eventually they just get tired of it and quit fighting.''Through much of the first two months of the season, the "they'' that got tired and quit fighting was the Mountaineers themselves. Wednesday night in Austin, it was the opponent.That West Virginia managed to erase a 10-point deficit in just over three minutes at the end of regulation and then stun Texas in overtime, winning 57-53, was almost secondary to how the Mountaineers managed to accomplish it.Oh, the win can't be overstated, of course. Just count the various demons that were exorcised, including an inability to win on the road, to win in the Big 12, to make shots when it counts (even if almost every other shot was missed). Just when the Mountaineers seemed on the verge of becoming wholly irrelevant after just two games in their new league, they are suddenly a team no one wants to play. But it's not that West Virginia accomplished all of that that's nearly as significant as how it did so. Quite simply, the Mountaineers overcame all their obvious flaws and weaknesses and relied on the one thing that Huggins realized some time ago would be the only thing that might save this team. It's the same thing that's saved every under-talented group he's ever coached.They have to be tough and nasty and relentless in everything they do, and they have to be that way for 40 minutes. No exceptions. That's been Huggins' mantra since he arrived five-plus seasons ago and - without a Joe Alexander, a Da'Sean Butler, a Kevin Jones to come to the rescue - it's even more important now."The deal is that the three years I've been here before this one, we've always found a way,'' said Kilicli, the only player on the roster who's been around that long. "Some days you're not going to shoot the ball well. Some days you're going to start awful, like 15-0 or something. But you can always find a way.''If West Virginia is going to even win more games than it loses this season, the Mountaineers have to take that to heart, as they did Wednesday night. Time and again this team has proven the things it can't do, which includes most of the sexy things that good teams do, like shoot and score or run great offensive sets or overwhelm people on the boards or on defense. Maybe it happens in spurts and will happen again, but based on a 14-game sample it's not going to happen consistently. No, this team just has to keep trying and wearing down opponents, like your 6-year-old asking "Are we there yet?'' for the 400th time. Eventually you wish you weren't even in the car, or, in this case, the game.That was the case with Texas Wednesday night. That doesn't reflect well on the Longhorns, of course, and not all teams will cave like they did. But it's really the best, perhaps only option for a West Virginia team that does none of those sexy things. It will win only if it fights."When the game went to overtime I was like, 'We've got it,' '' Kilicli said. "They weren't going to fight anymore.''Afterward, Huggins talked about what has really become this team's mantra from here forward, which is "Find a Way.'' It's something he borrowed from one of his Cincinnati teams - actually the one that would lose to WVU on Jarrod West's banked 3-pointer in the NCAA tournament in Idaho in 1998. A manager on that team, Joe Roberts, texted Huggins Wednesday with those three words. That year they ended up carved in wood and found a spot in the team luggage, players tapping it before each game as if it were Notre Dame's "Play Like a Champion" sign. Expect it on a T-shirt near you soon."That's what I told that [Cincinnati] group, that somehow, some way we have to find a way to win,'' Huggins said. "And if Ruben Patterson blocks Jarrod West's half-court shot, maybe we're in the Sweet 16 with a chance to advance.''Well, this team is a long, long way from any Sweet 16. At 8-6 it will be an uphill climb just to make a sixth straight NCAA tournament.But if there's any chance at any success this season for WVU, it will come through finding that way with a team that has precious few conventional options. Fighting to the death and wearing opponents down is about the only way to go.Again, that's always been a Huggins refrain, but without much else this year it has to be the solo act.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Leavittator - it sounds like this is the first pitch (12a) of "95 Degrees in the Shade"?
I've done this route by clipping the first few bolts of "Crazy Horse" and then following a left bolt line (maybe 3 more bolts if memory serves) through steep terrain to a small ledge with an anchor.
I think the ACSD book has this pitch listed in it too.

All Product Details
Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time he became the world's richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term "simple."
When Alice Schroeder met Warren Buffett she was an insurance industry analyst and a gifted writer known for her keen perception and business acumen. Her writings on finance impressed him, and as she came to know him she realized that while much had been written on the subject of his investing style, no one had moved beyond that to explore his larger philosophy, which is bound up in a complex personality and the details of his life. Out of this came his decision to cooperate with her on the book about himself that he would never write.
Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer's questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates—opening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett's legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people's lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.
From the Hardcover edition.
Q&A with Alice Schroeder, author of
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life
When did you first meet Warren Buffett, and what was your first impression?
His company, Berkshire Hathaway, bought a company whose stock I followed while working as a Wall Street analyst. I sent him a letter asking to bring some clients to Omaha to meet with him. He called me back in person. I was immensely flattered and impressed that someone like him would call me. He came across as down-to-earth and grandfatherly.
Because you were essentially handpicked by Buffett to write his biography, was it ever difficult to remain objective throughout the process?
By the time I started the book I'd known him for five years. My initial awe gave way to curiosity as I began to understand him as a human being. He became a fascinating puzzle that I wanted to solve. Gradually, I realized that writing the book meant putting my relationship with him on the line. Whether your subject will do future interviews with you, how he will react to what you've written, whether he or his powerful friends will approve of you afterward — until you accept the worst outcomes to these questions, the relationship is steering the writing. As somebody once put it, you have to write as though both you and your subject are dead. That's a tall order, but I tried.
What does the title–The Snowball–signify?
The snowball — snowballing — is a common metaphor for compounding. Warren has a saying about success: "Life is like a snowball — all you need is wet snow and a really long hill." But mostly when we think of something that snowballs, it rolls along by itself. Warren Buffett's snowball, on the other hand, was created with immense energy and meticulous care.
You spent thousands of hours with Buffett, his associates, friends, and family to gather the information needed to write this book. What was it like to have such unprecedented access to a man who has remained private (at least by today's celebrity standards)?
One day early on, his assistant, Debbie Bosanek, walked into the office, saying, "Warren, Senator So-and-so is on the phone for you." "I'll call him back later," Warren said. "Alice and I are going out for a milk shake." That was my introduction to how he prioritizes his time — milk shakes over politicians. Gradually I got used to the routine and faded into the landscape of the office while watching the other awed visitors tiptoe in and out. When we weren't doing formal interviews I hung around in his office going through files while he read and talked on the phone. I learned a lot through osmosis.
The public has observed one side of Buffett–that of a successful businessman and investor. After glimpsing both his public and private sides, what do you think might surprise readers most about "the Oracle of Omaha"?
He's wittier and more interesting when he's not onstage. The book is full of quotes from our conversations, and I think readers are going to enjoy getting to know Warren Buffett, unplugged.
The Snowball is being called both a life story and a "biography of ideas." Do you expect it to appeal to fans of biographies and business/finance titles equally?
I think The Snowball should be of interest to both audiences, but as I wrote I envisioned telling the story aloud to my best friend from college, a housewife and mother of two who lives in Texas. Warren's story is filled with life lessons; I hope that readers will finish the book with some ideas they can use in their own lives.
Buffett has always said he will not write a memoir. Do you think he'll ever change his mind?
Warren has always said that of all the ways he has to invest his time, one of the least rewarding for him would be to write a memoir. For that reason and many others, I don't think he'll ever do it.
What authors and books have influenced your own work?
I started reading, literally, in my crib, and certain writers' voices echo in my head. But for this book, early in the project, Don Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, gave me some important advice. If you don't do for Buffett what Boswell did in Life of Johnson, he said, it will be a huge loss to posterity. Boswell portrayed not just Samuel Johnson's story but his life and times and all of the fascinating characters with whom he surrounded himself. I would never pretend to be another Boswell, but with Don's encouragement The Snowball aspires to capture the traveling carnival of Warren Buffett's life.
What's next for you–more books?
First I'd like to go on my honeymoon. I got married in April (to David Moyer, an executive search consultant). Who knows what will happen after that?
Anything else you'd like to add?
It was an honor and a privilege to write this book. Warren's decision to cooperate with me changed my life in many ways, but especially by allowing me to spend five years contemplating what is really important in life. I will always be grateful for that.

Chitimacha Police Officer "A True Hero" In St. Mary Parish Shooting
52-year-old Sergeant Rick Riggenback was shot and killed Saturday after 48-year-old Wilbert Thibodeaux of Charenton allegedly went on a shooting spree that not only took Riggenback's life, but also that of 78-year-old Eddie Lyons. Two St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Deputies, 23-year-old Jason Javier and 24-year-old Matthew Strickland, were also shot and remain hospitalized in stable condition, improving and "recovering right along" according to St. Mary Parish Sheriff Mark Hebert.
Officers responded to a call of a man, later identified as Thibodeaux, walking the streets with a weapon on Saturday. Louisiana State Police spokesperson Stephen Hammons says Sgt. Riggenbach was the first to arrive on the scene in Charenton:
His heroic actions did prevent other people from being injured. He continually made attempts, without getting into specific details, to save the lives of other people. He certainly is a hero.
That's when Thibodeaux allegedly shot and killed him. Hammons says they believe Thibodeaux set ablaze the mobile home that was on fire. Thibodeaux remains jailed in the Iberia Parish Jail–charged with murder and attempted murder of a law officer. His reason for the shooting spree is yet unknown.
Sergeant Riggenback is survived by his wife, Bonnie, three daughters, a son and grandchildren. He spent 15 years in law enforcement, both with the Chitimacha Police Department and the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office. Before that, he served in the United States Navy.
Chitimacha Police Chief Blaise Smith not only called Sergeant Riggenback "a true hero" and "a brave police officer," but he also went on to say that "he was a truly amazing friend."
Deputy Javier has been employed with the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office for the past two years. Deputy Strickland had just rejoined the Sheriff's Office this month after having worked there in 2011. They remain in hospitals in Lafayette and New Orleans.
State Police Superintendent Colonel Mike Edmonson had this to say as officers across the state mourn the event:
Today, the support of the law enforcement community in the wake of this unimaginable loss was evident. The Chiefs, Sheriffs, Troopers and other law enforcement officials in attendance demonstrate that we will grieve together and that we heal together. We will never forget Sergeant Riggenbach's service and sacrifice, and we pray for the healthy recovery of Deputies Javier and Strickland.
Hammons says State Police continue to investigate the shooting.

Keep Your Kitchen Knives Sharp — Top Ten Tips
Jim Cunningham 65 Munsill Ave. Bristol Vermont 05443
(802) 453-2453 email@example.com
Let's face it, most of us expect a lot from our kitchen knives but we don't give them the respect they deserve! They do all the work day after day-- chopping and cutting, slicing and dicing, peeling and prying (prying?)...and what do we do? We drive them into rock hard cutting surfaces, pile them in drawers stuffed with peelers and tongs and last year's take-out menus; we throw them in dishwashers to clang around with forks and spatulas. And still we expect them to remain sharp and effective even in these despicable conditions....well, you get the picture!
Having your kitchen knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year is a good way to keep them in good working condition for years to come. Then take them home and give them the respect they deserve by cleaning and drying them by hand and storing them with their blades protected in their very own knife block or drawer or on a magnetic strip.
Are your knives dull? Do you have friends and their knives are dull? Collect your knives and your friends and I will pick them up or come to your location to sharpen. There is a 60 knife minimum. Rates are $4.00 per knife and $5.00 for serrated blades. Call me for more information or to schedule a date.
Middlebury Natural Food Co-op, First Saturday of every month,
July 1, August 5, September 2, 10:00 to 1:00. Stop in and have your dull knives sharpened while you shop. Sorry no early knife drop off at this location.

New Rule: If Irish Americans can manage to celebrate their heritage in just one day, then Southerners should be able to do so also. That's right, instead of spending the whole year flying the Confederate flag and saying the South will rise again, you get just one day. We'll call it "St. Cracker's Day." And we even have the t-shirt. [slide shown of girl wearing shirt with wording: "Kiss Me, I'm Yer Sister."]
New Rule: Donald Trump must move over. [slide of Donald Trump, Jr. in Africa] There's an even bigger douchebag in the family. Don Jr. traveled all the way to Africa, not to open a school or to deliver medicine, but to kill and mutilate a majestic elephant. You see, the problem with cutting off an elephant's tail, is then you can see the a**hole. He's the one holding the knife.
New Rule: Don't tell me we can't treat alcoholics with LSD. Even if it doesn't work, it'll make the meetings more interesting. If you don't think there's a place for acid in treating alcoholism, you've never seen "Liza with a Z." [slide of Liza Minnelli]
New Rule: Now that he's added $2.50 gasoline to his logo, Newt Gingrich must really "own it." And that means leaving the Republicans, finding that guy, Jimmy McMillan from the "Rent is Too Damn High" Party...[slide of "SNL" character]...and forming the brand new "Gas is Too Damn High" Party! [slide combines Gingrich/McMillan images into one]
New Rule: If an actor gets so much plastic surgery that they're not quite the same person, they have to change their name so it's not quite the same name. [slides of celebrities with much plastic surgery accompany these examples] Example: Did you see "Lindsay Lowland" on "SNL"? No, I was watching an "Arthur Schwarzenegger" movie.
Which one was that? You know, the one with "Dicky Rourke" and "Sylvester Stallion."


text: You might have seen me write before, that Drupal 8 is about 3x times faster that the Wordpress. Now, there has been a new study, oriented mainly on HHVM VS PHP7 performance, which has proven what was already known: PHP7 is still somewhat slower than HHVM, even though it is times faster than PHP 5.6. The study compared different CMS performance under both HHVM and PHP7 on the same server. Thus, we can use the results to compare the CMS between each other. If you read the results, you will see, that Drupal 8 is about 5x times faster than the Wordpress. I take it as an additional proof that my observations of Drupal 8 performance as being at least 3x better than that of Wordpress is true.

Shifting drought conditions highlight improvement in some states in the western Corn Belt, but in the southern Plains the drought continues to spread.
According to Thursday's Drought Monitor report, drought conditions across the contiguous United States are improving slightly. This week the report showed 51.64 percent in moderate or worse drought, compared to 51.86 percent last week.
However, the drought picture is much different in the Corn Belt.
To the east, drought is of little issue - Ohio and Indiana haven't reported significant drought since October 2012. Further to the west, drought lingers but is showing signs of lessening drought:
- Nebraska in particular reported minimal shifts in drought, but even slight shifts mark a welcome change. Currently 76.16 percent of the Cornhusker State is in exceptional drought, down from 76.41 percent last week. Many areas need at least 6-9 inches of rain to stop the drought and replenish soil.
- Kansas was the big winner in this week's drought improvement among the Corn Belt states. Seventeen percent of the state is in exceptional drought, a drop of 4 percentage points from last week. Areas reporting moderate drought are growing, primarily in the eastern half where recent snow and rain showers soaked the dry ground.
Drought is expanding in the southern Plains. Oklahoma remains divided, with the eastern half showing more improvement than the western portion. Exceptional drought in the state grew a tad, moving from 9.71 percent last week to 9.90 percent this week.
Texas, however, is an entirely different story. Drought in the Lone Star state is quickly spreading. Currently 11 percent is in exceptional drought. However, nearly all of Texas is in some sort of drought. Rain could bring relief to the state next week according to a report from the Houston Chronicle, available here.
Click here to see how your state is doing.
Not all states are dealing with intense dryness though. In North Dakota and Minnesota, the National Weather Service has urged those from Fargo, N.D. to Moorhead, Minn., to prepare for flooding.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, officials have warned that there is a 50 percent change of river levels reaching as high as 38 feet in these areas, making it the fifth-highest crest on record. Read, "Fargo braces for record floods — again — but this time it's ready."

Search the internet and you'll find a lot of information on almonds and cholesterol.
You'll see how almonds are a good food for lowering cholesterol.
So we've got people who read one of these articles … run out to the local grocery store … buy a big bag of almonds … return home, turn on the tube and start munching away.
And then a few weeks later they find out their cholesterol actually went UP, not down.
What went wrong? Why didn't the almond eating work?
Could eating more almonds have caused the increase in cholesterol?
In a word, yes.
But … the advice wasn't wrong necessarily. It was just incomplete.
You see almonds are a wonderfully healthy food and DO help lower cholesterol.
The catch is that almonds only lower cholesterol in their natural state … ie, raw.
If you're snacking on roasted almonds hoping for a cholesterol miracle, well, it just isn't going to happen.
Stick to raw and unsalted (salted with sea salt is okay) and you'll be fine.
But you always want to stay away from heated oils … and roasted nuts falls into that category.
An ideal use of almonds is as a replacement to a not-so-healthy food. A couple examples would be to add raw, slivered almonds to your salad instead of croutons or munch on a few almonds instead of greasy chips to go along with a sandwich.
You can always kick up your bowl of oatmeal in the morning by adding some almonds. In fact, oatmeal helps with cholesterol as well and that would make for a good healthy start to your day.
Just be sure you're adding in the right kind of almonds for cholesterol in that bowl of oatmeal, okay?

Emily Blunt is hot on the promotional trail for her new flick, Edge of Tomorrow, with Tom Cruise. The actress took to the film's Paris Premiere in a David Koma Fall 2014 Black Netted Short Sleeve Top, Leather Pencil Skirt, and $745 Christian Louboutin Toboggan Pumps:
Her patent leather pumps feature a peep-toe, half d'Orsay silhouette and functional 3 1/2″ heels.
The runway styling was preserved, though Emily added shortened ear cuffs for added flair.
This was much edgier than I would ever expect from Emily, but I must admit: it was a cool look.
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?

Do not overlook the significant pop-cultural fact that Britney Spears is not Lindsay Lohan. Next to bedraggled La Lohan, who is 24 going on Ann-Margret in Tommy, a sad spiraling party foul who's given up trying, 29-year-old Britney appears altogether human — never mind that a few short years ago she was as bald as Kojak and attacking sedans with an umbrella.
It feels good to root for sane mommy Brit-Brit — or at least it does on the dance floor, where we're all reclamation projects in waiting. Nothing on her 11th album, the new Femme Fatale, released this week, is organic, genuine, particularly real; it's more often throbbing, occasionally hot, unfailingly Barbarella. And yet Spears' new path — another I'm-trying comeback in a career packed with 'em — gives the proceedings a certain depth. If Brit can erase her sins, so can we. Now who wants to hook up?
The regular edition of Femme Fatale is 12 tracks long; a deluxe version includes another four. Both editions, however, are about six good songs deep, which is pretty impressive for an artist who may or may not be actually singing on her own record.
Superproducers Max Martin (Katie Perry's Teenage Dream) and Dr. Luke (Miley Cyrus' Party in the U.S.A.) make sure that not a split second goes by without a fat strobing hook that sticks to your brain like a remora. Album opener and second single Till the World Ends, a go-all-night carpe hornem burner, thrives on a stuttering "whoa-o-o" effect. "Keep on dancing till the world ends," Britney robo-sings as randy synth meteors crash. It's pretty dumb; it's also pretty awesome.
There are clever touches here and there. A cute whistle effect — not unlike the vaguely militaristic tweet from Peter Gabriel's Games Without Frontiers — flirts over an insistent duh-duh-duh beat on I Wanna Go, a full-throttle let's-romp invite. Despite the lazy JoBros-redux title, the tequila-scented How I Roll is all bubble-pops and kiddie-show keyboards; it's as if Captain Kangaroo were back on the singles scene — and killing it.
If there's a talker on the album — well, besides Hold It Against Me's supposed resemblance to an old Bellamy Brothers hit (please) — it's Inside Out, a slurring, slow-grinder about exes deciding on one last tryst. The song references old Spears songs, but more than that, it's honestly provocative. "Even though we couldn't last together, baby, you know what I want right now," Britney coos. "Won't you give me something to remember? Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside out." It's hot stuff, and if I'm Kevin Federline, I'm definitely going to Supercuts to get spiffy.
Britney's voice is a compressed, condensed, stretched, perfumed instrument; that drones on the album's thudding second half. Producers still won't let her hold a real note, but what's the risk? Such is the prolonged adoration for the pop star — Marilyn Monroe for the tabs-hungry 21st century — she could release an album of armpit squeaks and we'd eat it up. The truth is, we'll carry her whether she succeeds or fails, grows her hair or does the Curly Shuffle. We support her because Britney is us, the night before, the morning after.

Ski Fashion Trends This Season
A ski break doesn't mean you have to leave your sense of style behind. There are many ways you can make your look more fashionable, whilst still being warm, whether you are heading to Meribel, Lech, or other popular ski spots. Celebrities are key to figuring out the trends on the slopes – but how can you adapt these looks for your own wardrobe? We've put together some ideas for the 2014- 2015 season.
Animal prints and patterns
Gwen Stefani was seen at the start of the year wearing a military-inspired coat, a leopard-print sweater, and fitted black ski pants. You could add some of her adventurous style into your own look with animal print goggles or go more out there with an animal print jacket.
We also love this two-piece ocean inspired suit. If you don't want to make such a bold statement, choose either a patterned jacket or trousers and pair them with a block coloured print item like the Berskha Snow Anorak. Bershka's skiwear range has a fresh, young feel so it's perfect if you want a trendy look.
Understated monochrome
It's the time of year when everyone is on a LBD (little black dress) diet, so why not go for a LBS (little black suit)? This will make you look super slim in snow gear. Kim Kardashian is often spotted on the slopes with monochromatic head-to-toe ensembles. Luckily for you, if you are going for this it is one of the easiest ski outfits to pull off.
Her sister Kourtney has also opted for black with her motorcycle parka – a fantastic slope-to-bar look – while Victoria Beckham's black head band, black jacket and white trousers add a touch of class to her ski action.
Glamorous furs
Faux fur collars and fur-trimmed gloves are proving popular this season and they are classic, cosy items favoured by the likes of Pixie Lott. We adore the Eider Kensington jacket, which comes with duck down filling and a fur collar, plus the sophisticated black Roxy Snowstorm Jacket.
Make a statement
If monochrome is not for you, never fear as bright colours are very much in fashion for 2014-15 too. Red and burnt orange ski trousers have been seen on celebrities like Kate Hudson, who also sported a red knit beanie. Check out the pink trousers by Roxy and the Bershka Snow Trousers, or go for a bright jacket to follow in the fashion footsteps of Pippa Middleton who wore a bright orange hat and red jacket during a charity cross country skiing event.
Après ski downtime
Indoor wear for après ski could include everything from onesies to Christmas jumpers. Designer Stella McCartney has produced a cute Owl Christmas Sweatshirt, perfect for warming up with a hot chocolate after a morning on the slopes.
So there is no excuse not to be the fashion icon of the slopes and nail the after ski style, whilst you are enjoying a drink in fun-packed resorts.

The deadline to get a contract extension done is closing in for Nationals
It appears that the Washington Nationals and third baseman Ryan Zimmerman are closing in on an agreement on an extension. Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post is reporting (via Twitter) that the last major hurdle to get by is some language on a no-trade clause. Zimmerman's agent, Brodie Van Wagenen, has left Viera, Florida without a deal being done.
The deadline to get a deal done is Saturday morning, which Zimmerman has set as a deadline to work out a deal. If an extension is not signed by the time spring training opens to the full team, Zimmerman will enforce his decision to table the discussions until the end of the season.
Zimmerman will earn $12 million in 2012 and is under contract for 2013 at a price tag of $14 million. So there is still plenty of time for Washington to work out a deal to keep their franchise third baseman in the nation's capital for the remainder of his career, or at least a few more years. Washington has shown a commitment to spending money recently, and you would think that they will find a way to keep Zimmerman beyond 2013.
So if you were hoping the Phillies would find a way to acquire Zimmerman in 2014 (Placido Polanco has a mutual option for 2013 at the end of the 2012 season), you may want to keep a close eye on this particular contract negotiation. Just in case.

Research and Analysis,
Business to Business
I ran across a fascinating and well-researched analysis Why corporate boards should blog on IR Web Report. In the analysis, authors Dominic Jones and Pam Agnew argue, "we are convinced that the technology offers a highly attractive opportunity for forward-thinking directors and boards. It enables boards to get their message out, and at the same time provide
a forum for shareholders to offer informal input
to their elected board representatives."
I have no doubt that a well-done corporate board blog would contribute to making a company's stock more attractive to investors because of increased transparency and visibility into the often secretive musings of board members. Done right, such forward-thinking companies would likely cash in with content in the form of a higher stock price.
However, I wonder just how much useful information could really be conveyed by a board member. I would imagine that once the PR Bunnies and the Legal Eagles get their paws and their talons on the posts, that the content would be so watered down as to be mere drivel.
But then again, any early adopter companies that actually start a corporate board blog would likely generate enough buzz, media interest and viral effects around the efforts to be a form of effective marketing with content inits own right.
Would some innovative board member please try?

A would-be thief came up empty-handed when he tried to rob a jewelry store employee Friday night at Fashion Valley mall.
Four employees were leaving the Kay Jewelers store on the first floor of the mall about 9:35 p.m. when they were approached by a man with a gun, San Diego police said. The would-be robber demanded a sack that one employee was carrying.
He fled with the sack, which turned out to be the employee's lunch, police said. The gunman ran in the direction of Nordstrom.
He was described as black, about 22 years old, thin, wearing a hoodie and carrying a black handgun. Officers and a police helicopter searched for him.
Most small stores in the mall were closed at the time, but a nearby Macy's was still open and filled with holiday shoppers.

So the other night, I went snooping through my boyfriends phone. I know it's wrong but I did it. I happen to stumble across a text convo where he was inviting a girl to lunch. Now I'm trying to keep in mind they've been friends for a good while and he may just truly see her as a friend he'd enjoy hanging out with and I'm fine with that. The convo was started by her asking him a question and he responded. what's up, buttercup? The whole buttercup thing tripped me out... like okay? What is that!? Then he tells her you owe me lunch and she responds with the same. He tells her he's going out of town for something and that she should come with. She said she has work so it's a no-go but that someday it'll work out. I had really upset him previous to this, which doesn't make an excuse, but I'm trying to figure out why he would want to hang out with her... And earlier he had asked me to go with him for his trip. Wow! Guess I'm second option then? I'm really bothered by it. Guys- does this sound like he likes her as more than a friend? I really want to say something, but obviously I can't because he'll know I went through his phone. How can I go about bringing it up?
Should I be worried? My boyfriend was texting another girl.
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
"Buttercup" doesn't necessarily mean anything..."out of town"...for overnight or longer? O:O...So you had been invited to go with him..but then...you had a fight? Are you sure hd is still your bf? He must still be around if you had access to his phone?
No, not an over night trip just a day trip for a few hours. We had a disagreement that I knew upset him because of something I said. But we weren't in a fight. Were still together. In fact were doing very well. But last night I look at his phone. I'm just so confused at the fact he'd call her a pet name like that, then ask her if she was free to hang out that week and suggest her going out with him.
They had text Saturday afternoon and I read it last night. It just makes me feel weird. And I'll never know if he would of told me that they were hanging out if she didn't have to work and would've gone. I also feel really hurt because why would he ask her to hang out with him rather than his girlfriend when he has the free time? Maybe at the time of the convo he was a little mad at me? I really want to address it to him. But I don't want to be the crazy girlfriend who looks through her guys phone...
well there are no easy answers...someone is always calling me some mushy name and it means nothing...I would be a lot more worried if the trip was an overnight..and he probably asked her to go because he was mad at you...whether or not the two of you will get over it is up in the air...o.O
What Girls Said 1
This is tough. How about asking him about the trip and such and say you are getting excited about going. How about scheduling a lunch date? Or just ask like a random question like do you think friends of opposite gender should call each other sweetheart or hun? See how he reacts11|00|0
He has lots of girls that are friends and I'm totally okay with that. I just want my significant oher to be honest and tell me if they're planning to hang out with friends. I respect relationships that were made before me, as long as they're not innappropriate. Should I tell him I looked at his phone and express my concern? Because this will eat at me! Or should I just blow it off...?
You can if you think this will not cause him to move away from you more.

text: http://story.scout.com/a.z?s=211&p=2&c=623755 Nate's Numbers There's been a lot of talk about free agent CB Nate Clements and the contract he signed with the San Francisco 49ers. Howard Balzer takes a look at the entire contract for the Sports Xchange: Any way you look at it, cornerback Nate Clements received a monster contract from the San Francisco 49ers. But the reality is, it's not an $80 million deal. Breaking down the deal by year, Clements did not receive a signing bonus, but there is a $10 million roster bonus this year, which counts immediately against the salary cap. He will also receive a guaranteed $10 million option bonus in 2008, which for cap purposes will prorate against the cap from 2008 through 2013 at $1.67 million a year. Once the option is exercised, the final year of the contract (2014) is voided, wiping out close to $16 million in compensation. Thus, for practical purposes, it is a 7-year, $64.02 million contract, not an 8-year, $80 million deal. In addition, the final two years of the deal carry a combined $19.87 million in salary and workout bonuses. His base salaries total $7.5 million for the first three years, before his salary jumps to $6 million in 2010. Clements will also receive a $500,000 off-season workout bonus in each year of the contract. Still relatively young, Clements turned 27 this past December. At the end of the 2011 season, he will be 32. YEAR SALARY BONUS WORKOUT CAP 2007 $600,000 $10.0M (RB) $500,000 $11.1M 2008 $3,383,334 $10.0M (OB) $500,000 $5.5M 2009 $3,516,666 NA $500,000 $5.68M 2010 $6.0M NA $500,000 $8.17M 2011 $7.25M NA $500,000 $9.42M 2012 $9.0m NA $500,000 $11.17M 2013 $10.77M NA $500,000 12.94M Clements will receive $11.1M in 2007; $24,983,334 through 2008; $29M

My nose freaks over fragrances
Your nose is a very sensitive part of your body, especially when it comes to strong smells. Scented products tend to irritate your nasal passages and cause you to exhibit allergy-like symptoms, such as watery eyes and a runny nose. Though it, may look and feel like an allergic reaction, really your nose just doesn't like the smell.
There isn't much you can do to avoid this other than eliminating strong scents from your environment. If you're interested in wearing a fragrance yourself, try ones that are very lightly scented, or something all natural, like an essential oil.

NEW YORK (Mar. 29)
The theme of "Let Our People Go" will highlight a novel educational effort at Brooklyn College in behalf of both Jews behind the Iron Curtain and those in Arab lands. During this pre-Passover period, leaders of the Hillel Foundations and the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry will fan out over the campus, according to Rabbi Frank Fischer of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, to distribute over a thousand sealed plastic bags each containing a "matzoh of redemption." The recipients will be urged to take them home and share this special matzoh at the family Seder not only as a symbol of freedom but as a pledge of solidarity and determination not to rest until the heavy doors of the Soviet Union are pushed open for Jews to leave voluntarily. The matzoh campaign is directed not only at students, according to Noah Perlman, chairman of the SSSJ chapter, but the entire community especially through the traditional family unit which still gets together for the Passover Seder observance. "There must be no generational gap in this issue of survival for the largest section of our people outside of the U.S.A.," he stated, "and no battle fatigue in this struggle for freedom. The lesson of the holocaust and Israel reborn is not lost on young people who see in very contemporary terms the ancient words of the Haggadah every individual must see himself as if he personally were executing from Egypt." The matzot will be accompanied by a leaflet prepared by the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry with liturgical selections to be recited at the eating of this "matzoh of hope."

Los Angeles — Guess Inc. beat first-quarter revenue expectations, even though it also reported a 15% decline in net income. The company said net income fell to $42.7 million in the quarter ended April 30, compared with $50.3 million in the year-ago period.
Total revenue increased 9.8% to $592.2 million, beating analysts' predictions of $567.7 million. Strength in Asia, where revenue rose 24%, drove the increase. Revenue in Europe also helped, rising 12%. Revenue in North America was the weakest, up 5%.
Same-store sales fell 3.1% in U.S. dollars.
In a Barrons report, Guess CEO Paul Marciano said the company focused on controlling inventory and costs, and that the year "is not without its challenges." He cited rising costs of cotton, fuel and other commodities that Guess needs to make and transport its goods, as well as "uncertainty in many economies around the world."

Contradictions In Regional Development Assessment: In What Mean We Could Speak About Economic Convergence In European Union?
Keywords: regional economic development; empirical assessment methods; European Union The objective of current article is to assess EU regional economic development imbalance and its change, by implementing an indicator system of regional development disparities. The quantitative measurement problems of regional development imbalance have not received sufficient attention. Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1991, 1995) have shown the properties of two complicated indicators of regional development imbalance dynamics - beta-convergence and sigma-convergence that are most widely used in empirical analyses. The EU official statistical assessment of regional economic development imbalance refers to the dispersion of regional GDP per inhabitant. This approach is based on a different methodology. We determined a number of additional regional development imbalance indicators and tackeld the following research tasks: * analysis of general basics and formation of comprerensive indicator system for assessment of regional disparities and its trends in economic development; * empirical analysis of imbalance and its dynamics between economic development of EU member countries on the base of the comprehensive indicator system using GDP in market prices and PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) prices; * eliminating of the price change impact from assessments of regional economic development imbalance dynamics. Our results explain the absolute and relative regional development imbalance and its dynamics in 1996-2008 in EU as a whole and in "old" and "new" member state groups. Regional development imbalances point to improvement necessities of quantitative measurement of regional economic development imbalance and its dynamics.

How much does house demolition or building demolition cost? Can I get a "ballpark" estimate over the phone?
Home demolition, garage demolition, or commercial building demolition almost always require an on-site estimate because there are so many variables that affect the cost of demolishing a building. Factors that affect the cost of demolition include:
- Environmental issues, such as the need to remove asbestos or underground storage tanks, can significantly increase costs
- Material (brick, cinder block, wood, etc...) the building was constructed with.
- Debris disposal - hauling and landfill fees vary widely by location. Are there any salvageable materials that can be diverted from the landfill?
- Concrete demolition and removal of the foundation adds cost
- Square foot of the building and the number of stories for the house or building. Multi-level structures add to the cost of demolition.
- The need for excavation or site clearing and preparation
Do I need a permit for demolition?
Yes, permits are typically required. Depending on where you live, permits may be required by the city, county, and/ or state. Your local municipality may also have regulations related to notifications, noise, hours of demolition, disposal of the debris, etc... Your hired demolition contractor should be well informed about local regulations and will pull the permits on your behalf in most cases, but be sure to clarify up front with the contractor all the services they will perform.
Does my home or building need to be inspected for hazardous materials like asbestos or lead paint prior to demolition?
Most states require that older homes or buildings be inspected for the presence of asbestos, lead paint, and other hazardous materials prior to being demolished. If your home or building contains hazardous materials that need to be removed, proper procedures for abatement need to be followed. Your hired demolition contractor may offer this service or work with an environmental remediation specialist to complete the removal of hazardous materials.

text: DREAM THEATER guitarist John Petrucci recently spoke with Mojo magazine about his love for PINK FLOYD, whose classic album, "Dark Side Of The Moon", was re-released last month.Said Petrucci: "'Dark Side Of The Moon' came along first for me when I started to get into playing guitar. I was younger so I was more into the rock and metal that was out ZEPPELIN, SABBATH and AC/DC. Then some of my friends suggested I check out FLOYD. They were like, 'You have to turn off all the lights and listen to the whole thing with headphones.' It was like a ritual. It ended up being a real influence on my desire to make records that had a certain flow, that encapsulated an experience. I like to listen to albums like you watch a movie. You don't just watch a scene or ten minutes and that's it you watch the movie. It's the same with 'Dark Side...' Start listening and you can't help but listen to the whole album. "In 2005 DREAM THEATER did a cover of the whole of the 'Dark Side Of The Moon'. We played it from start to finish and had the fortunate experience of doing that in London. We had a couple of great saxophone players play and it was a lot of fun. The funny thing was sitting down to learn the parts, and discovering how well I already knew the songs. They were so ingrained! "There's a song on our new album called 'Breaking All Illusions' where the guitar solo is totally influenced by those hypnotic PINK FLOYD breakdowns. And I admit that what's going through my head is, What would David Gilmour do? You think of the most memorable, melodic solos by him and people can literally sing them. That's the level you're looking to achieve as a guitar player. "And also, there's a ton of space. PINK FLOYD are totally all about the spaces in-between. The space sucks you right into the song. You want to get lost in it. And it always, always comes down to the songs. All the things we're talking about like the sound of the guitar, the orchestration, the mood it wouldn't be anything if there weren't these incredible, great songs that are a part of everybody's lives. Perhaps you relate to them on a personal level, or maybe they bring you back to a certain time, or perhaps it's the power of the message... like 'Wish You Were Here'. "I get asked that a lot by young guitar players, 'What's most important? My technique? My sound?' But more than anything, you have to have great songs, you really do."

CES is definitely much more than the official 2012 International CES slate.
Officially, CES started on a Tuesday (January 10) and ended four days later. This year, the show had more than 150,000 people walk through nearly 1.9 million net square feet of exhibiting space. This doesn't account for staff, convention and hotel employees, or the unofficial attendees outside the conference, walking the streets and venues of Vegas promoting their products.
After a long day of CES press conferences, I was lucky to get into Pepcom's Digital Experience, one of the most amazing events I've gone to. For commercial press only, the show is similar to the official CES press sneak peek, CES Unveiled, but also includes companies not taking part in the huge event. It would feel somewhat derogatory to label it as an ancillary show when it's a must-attend for CES press aficionados. The giveaways are unbelievable here, and the food is free-flowing. Good food.
Kingston gave out 8GB flash drives as well as its wi-Drive, a portable wireless storage device. It's specifically for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch — compatibility with iOS being a recurrent trend throughout the week. Lenovo handed out portable speakers while yurBuds gave away a slew of its earbuds for athletes. (They stay in your ears no matter how athletically active you get.) Earbuds are popular products, like those from Clarity One and Velodyne, with sound purportedly comparable to that of external speakers. Enjoy, but don't forget the 60-60 recommendation: 60 minutes of use at 60% maximum volume. What?
With that in mind, KidzGear makes in-ear listening devices for kids with a volume safety stop. AfterShokz has buds you wear on your cheekbones. Cool, though they don't do anything to alleviate discomfort should you have TMJ. Buyer beware!
Almost every booth at Digital Experience had something to give out, and if they didn't have enough on hand, the press contact offered to send a sample for product review. I especially liked Toshiba and Nokia's survival kits, the former sporting a Powerstick, palm stress massager, cables, notebook, and aspirin, while Nokia's had a blanket, buds, and eye mask.
There's no way to leave Digital Experience unhappy.
The following night, after the opening day of CES, was Showstoppers, similar to Pepcom and CES Unveiled but a tad smaller. Seeing as how Showstoppers followed these other events and featured many of the same companies, I expected their giveaways might have been less plentiful, but they were still to be found in decent supply. The food once again was abundant throughout the four-hour show.
Some companies piggyback on the attendance at CES and book hotel rooms to showcase their products. While it's jarring to have a bed present while you're discussing product specs, booking a room is an easy way for companies to stay away from the fray while taking care of business needs.
I actually was able to learn a lot about SunBrite TV, the maker of outdoor televisions that's now entering the residential market. Its products are used across the world in venues such as stadiums, resort patios, and military vehicles and are resistant to rain, humidity, salt corrosion, dust, and insects, with sealed wiring to keep moisture out.
I also met with a company pitching cases that combine the charging case with other capabilities such as music listening and video projection. I absolutely loved their products, though when researching them further, I found out that there's a suspicion being put forward on Scamvent of their being involved in securities fraud. Doesn't mean it's true. If so, it would be a shame, as I gushed over their products.
Officially, looting is not endorsed by CES.
A blogger I met up with, Dave Cowl of blu-raystats.com, told me about the Asian companies in the Hilton showrooms who desert their booths near the end of the show, often leaving products behind. I was afraid to pick up anything like batteries or cables, in fear of damaging my already inferior products (see my work on Target-bought merchandise) but did snag a bunch of packaging tape rolls, display stands, a mannequin head, and tons of shopping bags. I found an abandoned suitcase and lugged it up and down the aisles hunting for anything worthwhile that had been abandoned. Many of the vendors try to sell their goods prior to ditching them. Ten minutes later you might find them being dragged off by a connoiseur of this slightly more upscale form of dumpster diving.
I met with several start-ups just walking the floor of CES, one represented by a publicist. The makers of iheadcase, providing a tidy way to store your headphones, stopped me mid-rush to the next appointment, spent a moment of time telling me about their product, and went on their way. I was told last year that Agloves did the same kind of guerrilla marketing; the maker of winter-friendly touchscreen gloves is doing phenomenally well, having sold 175,000 pairs in 2011.
It's said Vegas is where dreams are just a bet away, and sure enough creative and outside-of-the-box thinking can reap jackpots at CES, inside and out.

text: Dearth of produce farmers hampers W.Va.'s farm-to-school effort By David Gutman October 17, 2013 Story Share Yaqoob Malik is in Charleston as part of a U.S.-Pakistan partnership program arranged by the International Center for Journalists, in Washington, D.C. ST. ALBANS, W.Va. -- There is still not enough local produce to meet the demands of West Virginia's schools, despite recent gains made in promoting farm-to-school programs.That's because there are fewer farms than there used to be and those farms are producing cattle more often than they're growing produce, said Tom McConnell, director of the West Virginia University Small Farm Center.McConnell, who has been in the farming business for 50 years, said there are nearly 23,000 farms in the state."Obviously, there is a big demand for locally grown products in the market, especially from the schools," he said, "but we don't have enough produce, unfortunately, to fulfill the demand."McConnell attended Wednesday's farm-to-table event at McKinley Middle School in St. Albans, promoting local foods in Kanawha County schools.Buddy Davidson, a spokesman for the West Virginia Department of Agriculture, agreed. "We don't have the fresh fruit and vegetable production," Davidson said. "One report that I read said that 0.5 percent of the land used for farming [in West Virginia] is used for fruits and vegetables."Cattle farming is turning a bigger profit these days, McConnell said, which is leading farmers to convert from crops."As it is now, about 65 percent of the farms are associated with cattle farming," McConnell said. West Virginia school systems spend about $100 million each year feeding students, according to the Agriculture Department. Last year, about $350,000 of that was spent on local products, a huge improvement over years past, but still a very small percentage.As Wednesday's farm-to-school event showed, schools, parents and children are keen on the idea of locally raised food. However, because of the lack of availability, children are still faced largely with a diet of packaged foods shipped from other areas.Because the state produces nearly $500 million in agricultural goods each year, sales to school systems could represent a major windfall for farmers, the department noted."We want to bring those farmers along and get them to produce what is needed by county school systems and try to basically coordinate the supply and the demand," Davidson said. "So we can have farmers producing what the schools need when the schools need it."While the demand for healthy local food abounds, meaning new business opportunities along with it, the number of farmers is declining in West Virginia. Davidson said the department has been giving out specialty-crop grants for several years. Farmers can use those to build things like greenhouses and high tunnels -- basically an unheated greenhouse -- to expand the growing season."They're not really production grants, but more along the lines of research grants," Davidson said. "We want to encourage projects that people can share what they've learned once they're done with it."McKinley Principal Amy Scott said during Wednesday's event that she hopes local food will someday be regularly available to students, rather than a once- or twice-a-month occasion.Davidson credited the Department of Education and local officials for the progress the farm-to-school movement has made in recent years."Anything in farm-to-school is a local initiative because the purchasing decisions in these school systems are made by the local food director," he said. "They can choose to go with the Syscos and the U.S. Foods of the world, or they can use locally grown stuff." Reach David Gutman or Yaqoob Malik at email@example.com or 304-348-5100.

SOUTH MIAMI, Fla. - Animal activists found two more pelicans near Summerland and Cudjoe Keys that had their pouches slit open.
The pelicans were brought to the South Dade Animal Hospital to undergo surgery on Monday.
"When they attempt to net the fish with their pouch, everything just goes out the bottom of it, so they can't contain the fish," said Dr. Don Harris.
"We don't know who did it, why, and how," said Maya Totman, director of the Florida Keys Wildlife Rescue. "We don't know."
Totman said five other pelicans have died.
"I have no words, I'm just heartbroken over it," she said.
The two pelicans should be okay after six weeks of rehabilitation, said Harris.
"Whoever did this didn't just want to kill the pelicans, they wanted to punish them," he said. "They wanted them to die of starvation."
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports 10 pelicans have had their pouches slashed.
Anyone with information in these cases is asked to call 888-404-3922.

Charles Ray CassidyFebruary 18, 1935 ~ January 4, 2008 (age 72)
Share using:
Charles "Ray" Cassidy of Cherryville, Missouri was born on February 18, 1935 to the union of Herman Roy Cassidy and Edith Mae Britton Cassidy. Wednesday evening when feeding his livestock on his farm he was tragically trampled by a bull. He passed away the morning of January 4th, 2008 at St. John's Hospital in St. Louis from his injuries at the age of 72 years, 10 months and 17 days.
Ray married Carolyn Annette Mortensen June 28, 1996 in Sedalia, Missouri.
In addition to his wife, he will be sadly missed by one daughter, Stephanie Cassidy and Steve Michalik of Ellisville, Missouri; two sons, Niels Mortensen II, and wife Dana of O'Fallon, Missouri and Paul Mortensen and wife Melissa of Steelville, Missouri; eight grandchildren, Ashley Baumann, Lance Corporal Curtis Wolverton and wife Meagan, Joshua Mortensen, Justin Mortensen, Niels Mortensen III, Nickolas Mortensen, Joshua Engstrom and Danielle Engstrom; and other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents, Herman Roy and Edith Mae Britton Cassidy and one son, John "Johnny" Charles Cassidy.
Ray's career started in 1952 in various fields of manufacturing, management consulting, and the aerospace industry until 1981. He then moved back to his hometown and opened a business to be closer to his family. After four years he decided to get back into what he loved, by serving as the Crawford County Representative for the Central Ozark Private Industry Council. After retirement from being a Representative he accepted a position to work directly for the company. In March of 1990 Ray became the Rapid Response Coordinator with the Central Ozark Private Industry Council, Inc. which today is known as Central Region Workforce Investment Board, Inc. (C-WIB). Ray was in his 18th year. He was well known in the nineteen central region counties not only to the businesses but to the dislocated workers he helped on a daily basis.
Ray represented the C-WIB in the Meramec Regional Planning Commission, Mid-Missouri Planning Commission and the Lake of the Ozark Council of Local Government meetings. He also served as a board member for Freeman Cemetery.
Ray's strong work ethic and loyalty to his employer and co-workers went above and beyond everyday. When people in the counties he serviced were laid off he was an outstanding champion to help them with care and concern. He impacted many lives in such a positive way.
However, above all else the most fulfilling end achievement in his earthly life was serving the Lord. In the early 90's he found his way back to the Church of Jesus Christ-Salem Restoration Branch and became actively involved in the priesthood. His calling and faith was strong and he became Elder Charles "Ray" Cassidy.
Funeral services were at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 8, 2007 at the Britton-Bennett Funeral Home in Steelville, Missouri with Elder Melvin Quick and Priest Lowell Quick officiating. The congregation sang "We Are One in Spirit" and "God Forgave My Sin in Jesus Name" "The Spirit of God Like a Fire is Burning" was sang by Rev. Jerry Beers and accompanied on piano by Sharon Hardecke.
Casket bearers were Niels Mortensen II, Paul Mortensen, Joshua Mortensen, Justin Mortensen, Steve Michalik, T. David Wise, Tom Wise and Kevin Stadler. Committal prayer and burial were in the Freeman Cemetery.
The Family were served by the Britton-Bennett Funeral Home of Steelville, Missouri.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Trust Fund for continued work of the Lord, c/o of Britton-Bennett Funeral Home, P.O. Box 457, Steelville, Missouri 65565.

Can You be Evicted for Noise Level?
If you reside in an apartment complex, then there are a series of rules and regulations that you will need to follow. One such rule has to do with noise level violations. Many people take advantage of living in an apartment and carelessly elevate their level of personal noise, which causes their neighbors to have a sense of discomfort. However, you can and will be evicted based on making excessive noise.
When Can You Be Evicted for Noise?
- Tenants are entitled by law to a "quiet enjoyment" of the premises.
- This means landlords have an obligation (either express or implied) to control the noise within an apartment complex.
- If the noise level of another tenant impedes on someone's quiet enjoyment, then the landlord will need to take action. Such action can either come in the form of a notification or an eviction.
Usually an eviction will only occur after a set number of complaints and warnings, so you will want to review your tenant agreement if you have been served a few complaints for the noise level in your apartment or condominium. If you are ever served a notification regarding excessive noise, you should know that it is probably because other tenants have complained about you and the noise that you make. At this point, you should make every possible effort to either eradicate the noise you make or take the initiative and speak with the landlord in order to better understand what type of noise may be coming from your apartment that is offensive to the other tenants.
The main reason why a tenant may be evicted for noise level is because of the potential repercussions faced by the landlord and the apartment management company. In some states, if a landlord refuses to handle a noisy tenant, then any other tenants who are affected by that noise have the right to abandon the property without having to pay rent. To top it off, the landlord will not be able to sue those tenants for abandoning the premises, because the landlord had an obligation to control the noise, and chose not to.
So, yes absolutely a landlord can evict you for your noise level, especially if your level of noise is disturbing the other tenants within the community.
Getting Help
If you find yourself notified of the intent to convict based on noise, then it is important to contact a lawyer. Your attorney can help you to understand your rights and may be able to assist in fighting the eviction of working out an alternate arrangement with your landlord.
