Boating Accidents Put A Damper On Water Fun
Posted on February 29, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
Boating is a very popular summertime activity for many families, and boating is a year-round pastime for many men and women. But boating can become very dangerous when boats are not operated properly or when boaters take to the water under inclement weather conditions. Every year, the United States Coast Guard compiles statistics on reported recreational boating accidents. The statistics are derived from accident reports that are filed by the owners and operators of vessels involved in accidents.
Boating Regulations
Current regulations require that the operator of any vessel, that is used for recreational purposes and is numbered, to file a Boating Accident Report (BAR) when any of the following occurs:

This follows-up my May 15, 2007 and May 23, 2007 articles about Indiana law applicable to creditors that want to pierce the corporate veil and that wish to recover under Indiana’s Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act.

Posted on February 28, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
When most people consider writing a book, they don’t think
about Trademarks. However, I highly recommend that you
leverage your writing for multiple purposes, and that’s why
registering a Trademark for your concept is a good idea. If
you use your writing as the basis for workshops and other
products, it’s in your best interests to protect your
concepts with a Trademark.
To paraphrase the definition of a Trademark given at the
official web site www.uspto.gov, a Trademark is a symbol, a
word, a phrase, or a design, (or any combination), used to
identify and distinguish the unique source of goods. Note
that a Service Mark has the same definition as a Trademark,
except as related to services instead of products.

In most cases the I-864 is the final form to be approved before the interview and medical examination. I remember paying several hundred dollars just for the filing fee, and then there is a waiting period of who knows how long before you get a notice of approval.
