IT might seem like strange timing -- what with the troubled financial state of, well, everything -- but long-serving KPMG senior partner Michael Deed is leaving the group's bunker to seek new challenges. Anyway, his most recent stint was in South Korea which, of course, is one of the Goldman Sachs's \"Next Eleven\" economies predicted to be the drivers of global growth into the future. We suspect Phil Sullivan, Eddy Groves, Michael King, the Cassimatis duo, Matthew Perrin, Jim Raptis and Craig Gore won't be on the list.

County officials hope to find a comfort level on the issue before launching the county's \"Geographic Information System\" in October. The system will make real estate and tax records available on the county's Web site, which attracts an average 18,000 visitors a day. Jerry Hinze, a Lisbon homeowner, said he hopes the county takes steps to protect his privacy on the Internet. Hinze said anyone who needs to know his personal affairs can visit the courthouse and look up the information the old-fashioned way -- by hand. Michael Biagioli, the county's information systems manager, expects the real estate and tax records to become one of the most popular attractions on the county's Web site. Ultimately, the system could become more interactive, so visitors can pay their tax bills electronically, for example.

Waukesha The Waukesha County register of deeds office has no magic wand, but it does have a computer program that could do a vanishing act by mid- December on a backlog of more than 35,000 documents. [Deeds Michael Hasslinger] said he would use overtime and temporary employees, funded with revenue from his office, to reduce the backlog. He budgeted $25,000 for overtime in 1994 but will need an estimated $140,000 by year's end, including compensation for temporary employees, he said. \"I want to get this done,\" Hasslinger said. \"I am getting pressure from the lending institutions. We are hanging onto documents. I don't want to stretch this out just because of what we are costing them {in penalty charges}.\" Delay Questioned

The recent revelation that Toowoomba-based construction materials and concrete conglomerate Wagners is about to splash out on its biggest ever investment, a $125 million cement grinding plant in Brisbane, has had one, at least, of Australia's longer running private equity groups wondering if the Wagner boys might like a little help with their expansion. Mr Deed goes to SeoulKPMG'S ubiquitous business development guru Michael Deed is apparently settling in well at his new digs at the firm's Seoul practice after encountering a few speed bumps. [David Devine] was spied at a boys' table of about a dozen with his old mate Leigh Matthews and Mick Power at Cha Cha Char.

For pot smugglers like Mike Ritter, who regularly took loads out into the Gulf of Thailand, the greatest fear was being captured by the Khmer Rouge; it was certain death. “I’d look over there and I would just get cold shivers looking at it. My image of the country at that time was comparable to Tolkien’s Mordor, a black hole where all regard for life and civilized behavior broke down. I choked at the thought of dying slowly in a Cambodian prison.” After their successful 1975 revolution, Cambodia’s Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge attempted to take the nation back to premodernity. The

Man indicted on threat charge A federal grand jury in Charleston indicted a McDowell County man Tuesday on charges that he threatened retaliation against someone who was providing information about a possible crime to law enforcement, the U.S. Attorneys Office announced. The indictment alleges Andy Edison Mullins, 49, of Berwind, threatened someone known to the grand jury but not named in the indictment on May 7. If convicted, Mullins faces up to 20 years in prison. Jury indicts man on drug charge The grand jury also indicted Michael Deeds Hammond, 21, hometown unknown, on charges of possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of crack cocaine in Parkersburg in June 2006.

In St. Louis, these governmental policies included zoning rules that classified white neighborhoods as residential and black neighborhoods as commercial or industrial; segregated public housing projects that replaced integrated low-income areas; federal subsidies for suburban development conditioned on African American exclusion; federal and local requirements for, and enforcement of, property deeds and neighborhood agreements that prohibited resale of white-owned property to, or occupancy by, African Americans; tax favoritism for private institutions that practiced segregation; municipal boundary lines designed to separate black neighborhoods from white ones and to deny necessary services to the former; real estate, insurance, and banking regulators who tolerated and sometimes required racial segregation; and urban renewal plans whose purpose was to shift black populations from central cities like St. Louis to inner-ring suburbs like Ferguson. First among them is Colin Gordon, a professor at the University of Iowa and author of Mapping Decline, who did not tire of answering my frequent questions.

Lopez, Singer claims, enjoyed a rapport with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who took office days after CHARAS was booted from the premises (the councilwoman later endorsed the mayor's 2005 re-election bid against former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer, a Hispanic Democrat like Lopez).Between property taxes; architectural, legal and consulting fees; demolition and construction costs; insurance; and the initial purchase price, Singer estimated the feud will have cost him more than $64 million by May.[...]Singer maintains he has no interest in selling, and it is unclear how the city could cost-effectively force his hand.[...]P.S. 64 seems destined to remain a fossil from the old neighborhood, a shell petrified for posterity, of no use to the community or anybody else.
