Department of Revenue News Release
September 18, 2013North Kansas City License Office contract up for bid
JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Office of Administration is accepting management contract bids for the North Kansas City License Office. Interested individuals and groups must submit their bids to operate the North Kansas City License Office by Oct. 15. A copy of the Request for Proposal bidders are required to use to develop their bids can be viewed here.
The contract was put out for bid Aug. 16, but no proposals were received by the Sept. 6 deadline. The office closed on Sept. 16 and will remain closed until a new agent is named.
In fiscal year 2013, nearly 80,000 transactions were conducted at the North Kansas City office, generating approximately $268,600 in agent processing fees.
The Missouri Department of Revenue oversees 182 license offices which are each operated by independent agents. All of the license offices were put out for bid under the competitive procurement process in 2009. Contracts were awarded for one year with three one-year renewal options. The move toward a competitive procurement process of the license offices overhauled the way local motor vehicle and driver license offices are awarded and was one of the first actions of Gov. Jay Nixon's administration.
Bids will be evaluated on areas such as expertise of the personnel proposed, methods proposed for performing the services and whether the individual or entity is a not-for-profit, political subdivision, a Missouri Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) or a Missouri Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise.

While Robert Griffin III's knee injury is the injury that dominates discussion among Washington Redskins fans for how the 2012 season ended and what the team's chances are for this season, other ailments cost Washington big last season, too. Most notable was the absence of two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo.
Among the 12 teams that made the playoffs, no club gave up more points a game (24.3) than the Redskins. A big part of the problem was a timid pass rush that generated 32 sacks. Opposing quarterbacks felt so comfortable, they attempted a whopping 636 passes against the Redskins. No other team faced more.
But Orakpo, who went down in a Week 2 loss to the St. Louis Rams with a torn chest muscle, is on a mission to make life miserable for opponents.
"'Rak, just the way he practices is like he's possessed. That's what you like to see," coach Mike Shanahan said during offseason workouts. "You can tell he misses the game, being out as long as he was last season. You can tell that he is looking forward to having a great year."
Orakpo, who has set the lofty goals of being the comeback player of the year and defensive player of the year, is thrilled to be back with his fellow linebackers, including Ryan Kerrigan and inside run stuffers London Fletcher and Perry Riley.
"It's good. We got our core four back," he said. "It's still early — we are trying to jell and fix the mistakes we had last year, but I really feel like it is going to be a good season for us. Very good."
Defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, entering his fourth season with the team, values the experience his linebackers have in his system.
"I think it's (comfort) with the front seven that you can do some different things," he said. "Obviously, it takes time to learn it, and then you can add on to what you're doing if you've been together. To me, the good defenses in the league, in the NFL, usually have been together for a while and they've played together, like the Baltimores, the Steelers, those type of teams."
But those type of teams have had intimidating, passionate players as well.
"'Rak came in the first day, he stepped right back in the starting job, never missed a beat," Haslett said. "Obviously, you can feel the presence out there. It's totally different."
What's not totally different is the presence of Fletcher, 38. The unquestioned leader of the defense has logged 14 consecutive seasons of playing all 16 games. And even though his three-year run of making the Pro Bowl ended last season, age is not doing a good job of catching up to Fletcher. He had a career-high five interceptions in 2012.
Fletcher is fully recovered from elbow and ankle surgery in the offseason and didn't waste time making an impression in organized team activities.
"I can't imagine playing without him. It's even hard when he's not out here at practice," Kerrigan said. "He's able to call out plays before they happen. You can't teach that."
TRAINING CAMPS: Reporting dates for rookies and veterans
Griffin says he's on track for Week1 but promises he won't take the field unless fully healthy, echoing Shanahan's comments. RG3 also plans to be more picky when trying to salvage broken plays to help preserve his body. Griffin threw for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdowns and ran for 815 yards and another seven TDs on his way to being named NFL offensive rookie of the year.
The good news for the Redskins is backup Kirk Cousins has shown he can be effective when needed.
Running back
Stronger. Faster. Smarter. Alfred Morris says he's all of those entering his second season after rushing for 1,613 yards (second in the league) and 13 touchdowns as a rookie. Neither Terrell Davis nor Clinton Portis suffered a sophomore slump under Shanahan, and we don't expect Morris to miss a beat. Evan Royster, Roy Helu and fifth-round pick Chris Thompson will battle for the backup job in training camp.
Wide receiver
Pierre Garcon decided against surgery to repair the torn ligament in his right foot. The Redskins are hoping rest and a new set of custom shoes will keep him on the field, because he proved to be a quality weapon in the few games in which he wasn't clearly hindered by the injury.
Josh Morgan returns on the opposite side, but he's not a No. 2 receiver who worries opposing defensive coordinators.
Tight end
Fred Davis is expected to be ready for training camp after a torn Achilles tendon ended his season in Week7. Davis is playing on a one-year contract after generating little interest as a free agent. Third-round pick Jordan Reed is a talent pass catcher but offers little as a blocker.
Offensive line
The starting five returns intact, anchored by Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams. The group, with help from Morris' and RG3's running talents, paved the way for the NFL's No. 1 rushing offense. The nimble, slightly undersized group gave up 80 hits on its quarterbacks. It's forgivable, though, considering the challenge of protecting such a mobile rookie passer.
PHOTOS: Minicamp action from around the NFL
Defensive line
Ends Jarvis Jenkins and Stephen Bowen and nose tackle Barry Cofield do a nice job of holding the point of attack and stuffing the run. A key element to the line's depth will be if Adam Carriker can finally recover from a torn thigh muscle he suffered in Week 1. His status for the opener is in doubt.
Fletcher keeps on ticking and provides leadership for the entire defense. If Orakpo's pectoral problems are in the past, he and fellow outside linebacker Kerrigan should form one of the best pass-rushing duos in the league.
DeAngelo Hall, whose play ranges from sloppy to sensational, didn't draw a whiff of interest in the free agent market and is back at a bargain rate. He'll start opposite Josh Wilson, who is more consistent but less of a playmaker. E.J. Biggers is a solid nickel corner. Second-round pick David Amerson had a down year during his final season at North Carolina State, but he has elite size and speed for his position.
Rookie Phillip Thomas is a strong run defender and will push Brandon Meriweather at strong safety. Rookie Bacarri Rambo is likely to replace veteran Reed Doughty, because Doughty's limited range often makes him a liability.
Special teams
Kai Forbath gave the Redskins hope that they finally found a kicker worth keeping around for a while. After Forbath mercifully took over for Billy Cundiff in Week 6, he nailed 17 of his 18 attempts, including all 12 from 40-plus yards. Richard Crawford dazzled in limited work as a punt returner last season. Who returns kickoffs is a question that only training camp can answer.
Coaching staff
Shanahan's staff returns mostly intact, with son Kyle running the offense and Haslett in charge of the defense. The one significant change is former Denver Broncos linebacker and assistant special-teams coach Keith Burns takes over as special-teams coordinator for Danny Smith, who took the same job with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Supporters cheered and critics jeered as an energetic-looking Rob Ford mingled with Toronto revellers Tuesday, a day after his official return from a stint in rehab.
Marching in a Canada Day parade in the city's east end, the scandal-plagued Toronto mayor was greeted with shouts of "disgrace" and "resign" from some in the crowd, which he brushed off by wishing friend and foe alike the best on the country's 147th birthday.
Ford seemed in high spirits despite his detractors and said he was happy to be back.
"It feels great. Absolutely great. Fantastic," he said while his aides handed out mini "Ford Nation" flags and magnets to the crowd.
His march along the parade route was slow and halting, leaving him lagging behind rivals John Tory and Olivia Chow as a steady stream of fans stopped to take their picture with him and shake his hand.
"You look good, Rob. You look good," one man yelled as Ford passed by.
Some parents had their children pose with the mayor, and Ford himself brought his young son along to the event.
Ford came back Monday after spending two months at a rehab facility and offered a lengthy mea culpa for his past behaviour, saying he was embarrassed by the things he has done while using drugs or alcohol.
In his nearly 20-minute statement, an apologetic Ford pleaded for a second chance and promised an "unwavering" commitment to living clean, before pivoting into a re-election speech.
Supporter Helen Papathanasakis said he seems to have benefited from the break.
"He looks relaxed and I think there's a lot of Torontonians who believe in him and we're hoping he's successful," she said.
But others weren't so eager to see Ford among the marchers.
"It's a travesty to have him in the East York parade… I just don't think I can stand here and not say something against his presence," said Elinor Mahoney.
"I don't get the mindset of people who want to introduce their kids to him. It's like introducing them to some tyrant from past times."
The mayor had several events planned for Canada Day, including an afternoon march with a Chinese-Canadian group where he was mobbed for photos.
His spokesman said Ford was to participate in an executive committee meeting at city hall on Wednesday as he returns to work.
Ford's role as mayor has been largely symbolic since November, when city council stripped him of most of his power.

CAMUS Ile De Ré For Father's Day!
Description: Most people know Cognac is from France, and many know about the Cognac region itself, with its best-known appellations (areas) of Grand Champagne, Petit Champagne, Bon Bois, and Fins Bois. The little-known Borderies appellation is where most CAMUS Cognacs are made . . . but even LESS known is that the Ile de Ré (Island of Ré), an island just off the west coast of central France, is ALSO a legal Cognac appellation. Being an island, the vine-killing phylloxera louse never made it there in the late 1800s when it killed off literally all of the other vines on the European mainland. In addition, Ile de Ré is very small, so the grapes absorb the sea spray from the air, giving the Cognac a salty, maritime quality. It is really delicious (and of course I'd love to send you some to taste). It is PERFECT chilled (so the Sipping Stones would be ideal), and appeals to both Scotch and Cognac drinkers. Images of the bottles are attached. CAMUS (pronunciation: "Kah-moo"; www.camus.fr) is the last independent, family-owned Cognac house and 5th largest worldwide; in 2013 they are celebrating their 150th anniversary.

Combining red wine and the smooth sweet flavors and aromas of plum, cherry, blackberry, orange and citrus, Mangria tastes delicious and is great for any occasion from appetizers, to backyard barbeques, to midnight cocktails. "As a nightly consumer of red wine, I was shocked one evening to find I had just half a glass left in the bottle. So I did what any decent alcoholic, ex-con, American would do... I went to the fridge and the liquor cabinet, then poured, mixed and measured. Thus Mangria was born," said Adam Carolla. "Then I started making batches for friends. I was going over to Jimmy Kimmel's place for the Fourth of July and brought a batch with me. Like any organic invention or idea, I just started making it at home and enjoying it with friends and thought, 'Hell, if I like it and my friends like it, some other people might like it too, so why don't we start bottling and selling it'".

Florida earned the No. 2 overall national seed and will host a regional this weekend in Gainesville.
In seven seasons at Florida, baseball coach Kevin O'Sullivan hasn't shied away from competition.
So O'Sullivan wasn't about to question a Gainesville Regional field that wound up perhaps tougher than expected for the host Gators.
Instead, O'Sullivan embraced it.
"I told our team, to be honest with you, this is probably a regional we need," O'Sullivan said. "We tend to play up to our competition or sometimes down to our competition. So I'm excited about it."
As the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, top-seed Florida (40-21) will open regional play against another 40-win team, four-seed College of Charleston (41-17) at 7 p.m. Friday at McKethan Stadium. Two-seed North Carolina (34-25) and three-seed Long Beach State (32-24) round out the region, which is double-elimination, and will play Friday at 1 p.m.
All four teams in the Gainesville Regional are ranked in the top 53 in the nation in RPI, led by Florida (3), Long Beach State (29), North Carolina (42) and College of Charleston (53).
"I'm not going to compare our regional to anybody else's regional," O'Sullivan said. "We've got three really good opponents. We're going to have to play the best we can."
O'Sullivan strongly hinted that freshman ace righty Logan Shore (7-3, 1.99 ERA) will start the opening regional game against College of Charleston.
"I don't know how else you can look at it," O'Sullivan said. "I mean, we're playing a team that's got over 40 wins. You're going to roll the dice? I think you have to respect your opponent."
Florida, ranked No. 3 in the latest Baseball America poll, is coming off an inspired effort at the SEC tournament in Birmingham, Ala. The Gators fell to LSU 2-0 in the title game Sunday, but after dropping its opening tourney game against Kentucky, rallied to win three consecutive games to reach the title game.
"I'm really, really pleased at how we are playing right now," O'Sullivan said. "I think we're playing at a high level.
"We're pitching well. Offensively, we're grinding out a lot of at-bats. We're getting a lot of two-out hits, a lot of clutch hits. We're playing hard."
One of the most encouraging signs of the SEC tournament was the performance of redshirt junior pitcher Karsten Whitson on Sunday against LSU. A former Major League Baseball first-round draft pick, Whiston has struggled with injuries and control problems throughout his college career. But Whitson looked sharp against the Tigers, throwing six scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and three walks.
"When I was catching him in the pen it was just one of those days, he was clicking," Florida catcher Taylor Gushue said. "It was exciting. It was definitely exciting to put my glove up and have him hit it the whole day. It was good. It was definitely a step in the right direction and I think you are going to see more of that."
O'Sullivan also was encouraged by Whitson's performance.
"I've said this before, for us to get where we want to go, he's going to have to be a part of it," O'Sullivan said.
Miami again?
By earning the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, Florida is ensured of hosting both this weekend's regional and next weekend's Super Regional.
And if the Gators advance, there's a chance they could host No. 11 Miami in a Super Regional matchup. The ACC regular-season champion Hurricanes (41-17) are in the opposite bracket and will host Texas Tech, Columbia and Bethune-Cookman in the Coral Gables Regional. During the NCAA baseball tournament selection show on ESPNU, Miami coach Jim Morris questioned whether it was to fair for the Hurricanes to be paired with Florida, given that the Gators are a two seed and Miami was a borderline top-eight seed.
When asked about the Miami pairing Monday, O'Sullivan said he didn't want to look that far ahead.
"There's going to be no pairing with whoever wins that regional with our regional if we don't take care of our business here," O'Sullivan said. "I think that's a discussion to have down the road. Right now, all I'm worried about is my regional. I can't look too far ahead. I told that to our players, too.
"You get to Omaha it's not going to be easy. It don't matter. There's no easy road. I mean you've got to play really good teams. Would it be nice to have a variety, yeah, but at the end of the day you've got to beat good teams if you want to be one of the top eight teams. It doesn't matter."
Florida hosted Miami in an NCAA regional in 2009 and an NCAA Super Regional in 2010. In both instances, the Gators came out on top. Earlier this season, Florida and Miami played a three-game series in Coral Gables, with Miami winning two.
"We're not really concerned about Miami right now," Gushue said. "We know that we have to face College of Charleston and that's all that I'm worried about."
The 68th College World Series begins June 14 at the TD Ameritrade Park Omaha in Omaha, Neb.

lovely total lunar eclipse on Earth — so how about watching a solar eclipse on Mars? Pictures from NASA's Opportunity rover record just such an event, which occurred on Nov. 9. Neither of Mars' moons is big enough to cover the whole disk of the sun during an eclipse, so a partial blackout is the best Phobos could do in this video clip.We've just had a
After the eclipse, you'll see a typical Martian sunset, stitched together from exposures taken on Nov. 4 and 5. The 30-second sequence is a speeded-up rendition of a sunset that would take 17 minutes in real time. The sky looks blue around the sun in these pictures because of the scattering effect produced by dust particles of a particular size in the Martian atmosphere. Farther away from the sun, the Martian sky takes on more of a reddish cast.
The scientists who created the rover movies say they're the next-best thing to being there. "These visualizations of an alien sunset show what it must have looked like for Opportunity, in a way we rarely get to see, with motion," rover science team member Mark Lemmon of Texas A&M University said in a NASA image advisory. Simulated images were added to the sequences to produce a smooth viewing experience.
More moving pictures from Mars:
- Deimos moves across the sun
- Watch Martian clouds fly by
- See a dust devil spin on Mars
- NASA movies from Opportunity
- NASA movies from Spirit rover
For the eclipse movie, the image sequencing was done by Emily Dean, Dale Theiling, Elaina McCartney and Jon Proton. Image processing was done by Jim Bell and Mark Lemmon. Event timing was handled by Tom Duxbury. The team expressed thanks to members of the operations and support teams in the NASA/JPL Mars Exploration Program and Deep Space Network. Credit for both movies goes to NASA, JPL-Caltech, Cornell University and Texas A&M.
