Missouri Boy State is an eight-day program designed specifically for high school juniors who have distinguished themselves as leaders in their school. Last year, 986 students representing approximately 400 high school across Missouri participated in this outstanding one in a lifetime experience. Additional information can be found by clicking here.
Missouri Girls State (MGS) was first established in 1940 as one of 11 Girls State programs in the nation. The first session was held at William Woods University (then College), Fulton, in the summer of 1940 under the direction of Lutie Long Smith. There were 213 citizens in attendance the first year and Juanita Curry was elected Governor. The citizens were divided into 3 counties -- Scott, Price, and Barton; and there were six cities -- Pershing, Koontz, Boone, Crowder, Lewis, and Clark. MGS was located at William Woods for 17 sessions, with no sessions held in 1943 and 1945 due to war. Following a fire at the college in 1959, MGS transferred to Christian College, Columbia, in 1960. In 1961, the program moved to Stephens College, Columbia, due to the need for a larger facility. The program returned again to William Woods University in 1976, where it remained until 1998 when it moved to Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg (now University of Central Missouri).
Currently, MGS has 760 citizens in 7 counties and 21 cities. Our cities and counties are named after famous or important people to the American Legion Auxiliary and the State of Missouri or those individuals who have contributed in some way to the success of the Missouri Girls State program.

Discussion in 'Black Hat SEO' started by frizli, Apr 28, 2008.
How can we promote parked pages.
There are many ways to drive traffic. But I won't tell you anything. Its best if you learn it on your own by looking in the forum.
Whitehat way? You can't promote a parked page according to most parking TOS.
Blackhat way? Like you promote any other website.
As far i have read on forums legally if you promote aparked page you will not get paid for ADS on parked pages. As far the rest is concerned da da da !
Dude, parked domains do not generate that much income,even if they have a steady traffic.Because ,you will violating most of the renowned adposters TOS ,and so it is not worth it.parked domains are meant to get direct traffic, you can simply promote parked domains because first of all they are not worth it and secondly PDs are not offering anything to visitors except a bunch of stupid links.

After a lot of people pretty much felt like Nas ethered 50, he comes back still with "Window Shopper." Even if your not a 50 fan, dis tracks are always that much more interesting. 50 takes shots at some of his most notable enemies and rolls with the theme of them all being "window shoppers". This song was white-labeled then put out promo only and is now seeing an official release with "Hustlers Ambition" surfacing as the flip.

Sunday, a judge denied bond for 28-year-old Johnny Borizov and Jacob Nodarse, 23, who were being held at the DuPage County jail Sunday evening.
Prosecutors say Borizov talked Nodarse into committing the murders and that it all stemmed from a custody dispute between Nodarse and Angela Kramer. She was inside the Darien home the night of the murders but survived by hiding in a closet.
Visitation was being held Sunday until 9 p.m. at a funeral home in Downer's Grove for the victims. All three were shot and killed in west suburban Darien Tuesday.
"The investigation has revealed it was Angela Kramer and Michael Kramer were the primary targets," said Jeff Muntz, asst. DuPage Co. state's attorney.
"I cannot make any comment about the allegations at this time other than to say they are simply allegations, and everyone needs to remember that," Borizov's attorney, Marc Wolfe, said.
The alleged gunman, Nodarse, is being be charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy in committing a murder. His attorney was not present inside the courtroom Sunday. In Florida, he said, "I just kind of have to shake my head over what is going on here."
Prosecutors say Borizov asked Nodarse to kill the Kramers, especially 25-year-old Angela, who escaped by hiding in a closet and calling 911 on her cell phone.
According to prosecutors, Borizov was involved in a custody battle with Angela over their 13-month-old son, Nicholas.
ABC7 news partner, the Daily Herald, obtained sealed court documents that indicate a court hearing was to be held this week in the case, but the documents do not shed light on any contentious issues.
Borizov has an alibi for the night of the murders; he was at the Empress Casino in Joliet gambling.
"The investigation is going to go on for some time. It is a very serious offense, a very gruesome crime scene," Muntz said.
"We are maintaining Mr. Borizov's innocence, that he is absolutely not guilty of these charges," Wolfe said.
Borizov's parents released the following statement:
"We stand behind Johnny...we love him and will support him and are secure in his innocence."
Funeral services for the Kramer family victims will begin with a mass Monday at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Carmel church in Darien.
More information on the court documents obtained is in Monday's edition of the Daily Herald.

Exercise capacity is reduced in T2DM subjects relative to matched controls, whereas exercise capacity is preserved in T1DM. There was no evidence of sub-clinical cardiac dysfunction but, rather, there was an association between impaired exercise capacity, small LV volumes and sedentary behavior (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Physical activity and exercise on diabetic foot related outcomes: a systematic review
This review suggests evidence that physical activity and exercise is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve diabetic foot related outcomes. Combined multi-disciplinary treatments are more effective in the prevention of foot complications in patients with diabetes (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Interstitial Glucose and Physical Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes: Integrative Physiology, Technology, and the Gap In-Between
We present an understanding of the physiological and metabolic changes taking place with acute exercise and detail the blood and interstitial glucose responses with different forms of exercise, namely sustained endurance, high-intensity, and strength exercises in individuals with type 1 diabetes (Nutrients)
Techniques for Exercise Preparation and Management in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
These findings highlight the need for exercise-management strategies tailored to individuals' overall diabetes management, for despite making exercise-specific adjustments for care, many people with type 1 diabetes still report significant difficulties with BG control when it comes to exercise (Canadian Journal of Diabetes)
Exercise prescription for patients with type 2 diabetes—a synthesis of international recommendations: narrative review
Exercise prescription for individuals with type 2 diabetes should include specific information on the type, mode, duration, intensity and weekly frequency. The exercise strategies must be adapted for each individual, based on comorbidities, contraindications and realistic personal goals (British Journal of Sports Medicine)
The Effect of Exercise with or Without Metformin on Glucose Profiles in Type 2 Diabetes: A Pilot Study
The addition of a bout of exercise to metformin led to an increase in postprandial glucose levels without affecting mean glucose concentrations. Removing a metformin dose before or after exercise did not attenuate this negative effect (Canadian Journal of Diabetes)
Similar risk of exercise-related hypoglycaemia for insulin degludec to that for insulin glargine in patients with type 1 diabetes: a randomized cross-over trial
This clinical trial showed that, in patients with T1D treated with a basal-bolus regimen, the risk of hypoglycaemia induced by moderate-intensity exercise was low with IDeg and similar to that with IGlar (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Glycemic Load, Exercise, and Monitoring Blood Glucose (GEM): A Paradigm Shift in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Consistent with a patient-centered approach, Glycemic Load, Exercise, and Monitoring Blood Glucose (GEM) appears to be an effective lifestyle modification option for adults recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Type 2 diabetes exaggerates exercise effort and impairs exercise performance in older women
Taken together, physiological measures of exercise effort were greater in older women with T2DM than controls. Exercise effort is a modifiable and thereby targetable end point. In order to facilitate regular exercise, methods to reduce exercise effort in T2DM should be sought (BMJ)
Insulin-based strategies to prevent hypoglycaemia during and after exercise in adult patients with type 1 diabetes on pump therapy: the DIABRASPORT randomized study
To limit hypoglycaemic risk in adult patients associated with 30 minutes of exercise 3hrs after lunch, without carbohydrate supplements, the best options seem to be to reduce basal rate (BR) by 80% or to stop the pump for moderate or intense exercise, or for moderate exercise 90 minutes after lunch, to reduce the prandial bolus rather than the BR (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)

When I was asked to write a weekender piece on 'Dry' Bihar — based more on personal reactions than on political/economic arguments for or against it — I instantly agreed as I had spent a whole week in Patna after Holi and the looming prospect of a dry state was invariably a subject of discussion in all drink sessions.
Some of us, old friends from JNU days, had got together in the house of a senior IAS officer for a drink followed by dinner. It was 29 March. I asked my bureaucrat friend what would happen six months down the line — would he be able to host such a party for us? I asked this because country liquor was supposed to have been banned in Bihar a couple of days later, from 1 April, but Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) was tentatively scheduled to be phased out from October. My friend said, rather philosophically: "Six months are a long time to come. There is many a slip between the cup and the lip. Why worry about an uncertain future? Just enjoy the moment".
The dreary day that we thought would come six months later, as it happened, came exactly after six days. I was back in Delhi then, but on 4 April, I saw on TV a beaming Nitish Kumar, buoyed by the popular reaction to the ban on country liquor on April 1, making the declaration to go the whole hog and declare Bihar a dry state. And, the next day, I saw the photograph of my friend taking oath with other colleagues, under the stewardship of the indomitable Anjani Kumar Singh, the chief secretary (who also happens to be a former student of JNU) not to touch liquor again — not in Bihar, not in Delhi, not in a foreign land, not in this life time!
Abstinence from liquor is not merely a legal requirement in Bihar now, it has also become a moral pledge!
A journalist friend in Delhi asked me over a drink the other day: how would I react if I were working in Bihar now? Well, I worked in Bihar for over a decade and enjoyed every moment of it. But I would have decided to move out of Bihar if I were to live in a regime of prohibition. Not that I am a habitual drinker. There are times when I do not drink for days, weeks and months. But I cherish a drink when I sit down with my friends or I go out to a restaurant with my family for a dinner. I want my freedom to drink as and when I choose. I do not want to be held hostage to the tyranny of political correctness.
Arvind Kumar, well-known lawyer and activist at Patna, puts it in perspective: "I am a vegetarian and a teetotaler. Nobody in my family drinks. But why should the state decide whether or not I should drink. The same Nitish Kumar had come out in defence of everyone's right to eat beef, when the BJP made a big demand to prohibit the sale of beef in India. If I have a right to eat as I choose, why should I not have the right to drink as I choose?", he asks. Binod Singh, founder of Oxygen, an education movement in Patna, who also does not drink, echoes the same sentiment: "In a democracy, the state cannot decide for me what I eat or drink".
Prof Naval K Chaudhury, a former principal of Patna College, however, has a different take on the matter. He says that Bihar needed a crackdown on binge drinking both in the rural and urban areas which had led to a series of crimes against women. So total prohibition was the need of the hour. "Nitish Kumar must be congratulated at least for this bold, clear and unwavering decision."
There are many who would say that it was Nitish Kumar who was responsible for the drinking menace reaching such alarming proportions. Dipak Bharati, a well-known NGO activist in Madhubani, Bihar, has this to say: "Lalu Yadav is blamed for many ills of Bihar, but (addiction to) drinking was not one of them. It was Nitish Kumar's policy in 2006 to open licensed liquor shops in every panchayat, and in some areas every village, that made drinking a pastime for old and young alike. The state revenue soared, but a large mass of the population turned out to be alcohol addicts."
Prof R N Sharma of Patna University corroborates the point: "In 2004-05, the excise revenue was barely Rs 350 crore. Nitish's take-liquor-to-the-villages policy fetched ten times the revenue. The excise income rose to over Rs 4,000 crore."
But it had tragic consequences. So Nitish Kumar wants to do penance. As S K Singh, another distinguished lawyer at Patna says: " When his cash-starved treasury desperately needed resources, Nitish Kumar used liquor as the bait and earned big money. Now that he is flush with money (as all state governments are, with the new devolution policy devised by the Finance Commssion the states are getting a larger share of the national income), he wants to undo the damage he has caused in the last decade".
Will he succeed in this endeavour? That is a big challenge. Many say that Bihar will go the Gujarat way, where liquor is officially prohibited, but it is be home-delivered on the sly by an SMS or a phone call. One will have to shell out extra money, as the police and the excise officials have to be gratified to make the parallel system work.
Supporters of Nitish Kumar say that Bihar is not Gujarat. Their leader, ably assisted by Anjani Singh's crack team, would make Bihar a landmark example of a success story for prohibition. But Deepak Bharati has a question for such people: " Gutka is officially banned in the state. But it is being sold openly in the heart of Patna, not to speak of the outlying areas, in cahoots with the local police. Why has Nitish Kumar's 'efficient' team not been able to enforce this government ban?"
Some say that Nitish has posted an outstanding officer of Bihar cadre, KK Pathak, as the excise commissioner and he knows how to deliver. But listen to what another IAS officer says: "KK Pathak was also employed as Patna's municipal commissioner to work a system to keep Patna clean. But, see, over the years, Patna has become dirtier, the whole city has turned into a garbage bin. The prohibition campaign will meet a similar fate".
Most say that with the prohibition in force, the tourism industry will collapse, the clubs will shut shop. But the more vital question is: what will happen to the judges, politicians, top civilian and police officers for whom drinking is a daily part of life just as eating or taking a bath is? Will they resign themselves to a dreary life sans alcohol? Or will they carve out a separate world of their own, shielded from public scrutiny? As Pranav K Caudhury, a distinguished journalist with the Times of India asks, "Will it be like the corruption cases where the big fish almost always evade the dragnet? Will it be the assigned duty of the policemen to confiscate liquor from the aam aadmi and and supply it to the khaas people?"
The actual scenario will unravel in the next few weeks or months.
P.S. I spoke to Raman Sindhi, a motivational speaker at Patna, who I knew loved his evening peg. I asked him how was he doing in the dry state. He said that he had just one spare bottle of scotch when the government suddenly announced the complete prohibition policy and clamped down on the sale of liquor. The very next day a senior IPS officer whom he knew very well called up to ask him if Raman Sindhi had a spare bottle as the police officer had to entertain some guests and he had run out of alcohol. Sindhi said as the police officer was a dear friend, he handed over the bottle to his driver. He has gone without drinks infor the next two days. "Maybe it is a boon for my good health!," he says, tongue-in-cheek.

Assuming the valve in question is the one that supplies gas to the grill's burners and not the gas regulator on the propane tank or other fuel source, valve replacement is easy. Check the owner's manual and buy the valve specifically designed for your make and model of grill.
If the gas valve on the grill really has gone bad, then replace the whole assembly. Sometimes this may mean replacing the control panel as well. Many gas grill manufacturers provide step-by-step instructions for repairing grills in their manuals and online websites. Follow the maker's instructions, and many valves simply screw in.
Before buying a replacement valve for your gas grill, however, inspect the current valve. Check to see if the valve is working correctly, the valve knobs should turn and release completely. They should depress fully and pop up freely. Lubricate sticking knobs with a solvent such as WD-40, and work them to distribute the lubrication. Truly worn valves tend to bind and must be replaced to prevent flashback fires.
Next, check the hose connection and valve orifice. Tighten the connector if necessary, and then check the valve orifice for obstructions such as spider webs. In a similar manner to soot build-up, clogs can cause poor gas flow, poor heating and other performance issues in the valve, as well as the burner tubes connected to it.

Some things just can't be left up to voluntary compliance.

Some things just can't be left up to voluntary compliance.
In yet another effort to get colleges and universities to be level about the costs of higher education, the Obama administration has persuaded 10 schools to provide important financial information to incoming freshmen starting with the 2013-14 school year.
As part of their financial aid packages, the schools, which represent more than 1.4 million students, said they would disclose at least five key pieces of information. They will be clearer about how much one year of college will cost. They will provide a distinction between grants, scholarships and loans. They will provide estimated monthly payments for the student loans that graduates will likely owe. And they will supply information about the percentages of students who enroll, graduate and repay their loans without defaulting.
This type of disclosure is a big leap forward toward financial aid transparency. Perhaps right about now you're thinking: Why isn't such vital information already available for all colleges and universities?
Of course schools provide cost information, but many families complain that what they are given is confusing, making it hard to compare college costs or figure out how much money they would need to borrow.
In a White House news briefing, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said schools are doing "a poor job of making clear how much a student will receive in terms of grants and scholarships, and how much they'll have to borrow in terms of student loans. . . . Having this important information provided both clearly and transparently will help students and their parents invest wisely and make the best, most informed decision possible about where to enroll."
The schools that have stepped forward to be more transparent are the state university systems of Maryland, New York, Massachusetts and Texas; Arizona State University; Miami Dade College; North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University; the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Vassar College; and Syracuse University.
The Department of Education and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau teamed up to launch the "Know Before You Owe" project as a way to standardize financial aid information. The agencies are developing a one-page shopping sheet to help students better understand the type and amount of financial aid they qualify for and to allow them to compare college offers.
"We plan to have it available in the beginning of the upcoming school year of this fall, and we hope that it will be voluntarily adopted by the higher-education community," Duncan said.
See, that's the problem. When you say that the schools are doing a poor job of being upfront and making it difficult for families to know what they owe, then I think we are way past letting them voluntarily correct a problem that has been called to their attention for some time now.
The lack of transparency is the higher-education version of a car-buying nightmare, which is to say you never really know what you will owe until you're sitting in the finance office after having fallen in love with the car.
"Figuring out how to pay for college can be daunting," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said during the briefing. "It's often the first major financial decision that a student will make, one that will affect her for the rest of her life."
So stop giving colleges and universities a choice to continue their poor performance in this area. If, as Cordray said, the stakes have never been higher for families to clearly understand the costs and risks of student debt, then Congress needs to act to mandate that schools use the shopping sheet. Don't ask. Just tell them to do it.

text: I REALLY need some advice on how to install this fucking .NET 3.5. Lots of programs are starting to use this thing, including some choice BH tools. I already have .NET 2.0 and was making do with that (until I just now uninstalled it). I got so irritated the last time I tried to install .NET 3.5, I gave up after 3 days in hell and reinstalled 2.0. Now I really do need this damn 3.5 thing. I have a Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghz, several G of hard disk left over, Windows XP SP2, so this shouldn't be rocket science. I have gotten two kinds of message so far during failed installations: MSI returned error code 1603. WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Windows Communication Foundation is not installed. and MSI returned error code 1603. WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0a is not installed. If there is some kind soul out there, I can provide an verbose MSI log of a failed installation (and the sucker does not even have "return value 3" anywhere on it). I have done everything I can think of. I would be enormously grateful for any help.

It made me feel like I was in the book. I wonder what happened in the next book. My favorite part is when Harold jumps off the horse finally and embarrassingly. There were illustrators. They were purple, white and skin color. There weren't many things in the pictures. It only showed a moon if it was night, if it was day it showed the sun.
I recommend this book to first grade, kindergarten and second grade.

Can I start Harvoni if I tried a previous treatment for hep C about 6 years ago?

Yes Indeed You Can!!! However... you may have to take it a little longer, say 24 weeks other than 8 weeks or 12 week. I took HARVONI for 24 weeks because I also took the previous treatment of Interferon/ribavarin and it didn't work. But this time after 24 weeks it did! I am virus free with a clean and healthy liver! Ask your GI Doctor first of course! Good luck!
Hi Cureforsure15,
i was approved for 12 weeks only. I'm Gn type 1b. Also did the Interferon/Ribavarin.
Non responder . Does that mean I should be on 24 weeks?
I would contact your GI Doctor because he will make the final decision. But it would not hurt to discuss the information you have heard on this blog regarding how the 24week treatment was prescribed For most people who have failed the original treatment. (It maybe because your HepC is not as progressed as others?) I personally was stage 3. Not anymore thank goodness. I was told months before I started that I would have to be on 24weeks. My doctor is affiliated with Univ of Penna, and part of the research team for HARVONI. Good luck!
I am starting next week and while I'm scheduled for 24 weeks my Liver clinic is totally unconcerned that I failed treatment the first time (at about the same time as you). They are so confident they only want my regular bloodworm before I commence. No viral loads until they will show something meaningful, no nothing. It just has to work. :-)
Same here with blood work . Just concerning that I am on 12 weeks after failing Interferon/ Rib. Treatment. Seems like most in that position are assigned 24 weeks
Thoughts? Thank you.
Yes you can. I did the killer Interfuron ( spelling?) and Ribo, non responder 12 years ago. just turned 70 , prob, had this monster for 40 years. My dad died in 1986 of non a non b Hep. It wasn't pretty. So grateful they are paying attention to us and working on offering us a life Hep free.
Just got approved for Harvoni last week . Took 1 week for approval from United Health Care. I'm on my 4 th pill tonight. I take it at 9:00 pm so far no real side effects. Drink more than 1 Gal. Of water all day. No sleep problems yet, horrible acid reflux. I used Nexium before this and that's a huge no no. Wishing everyone the best.
Gn 1b
Diagnosed 1998
Moderate fibrosis
VL 6 Mil
Congrats! Your on the road to a complete cure! I've have pretty much the same as you, same age, mild fibrosis, had it for over 40years,took the nasty ribavarin/ interferon shots 15 years ago, I drank almost 1 gal water per day, and took my pill in the evening too. Had headaches the first few weeks but finally got smart and started drinking more water and they went away! Never had sleep issues but fatigue became an issue so I started to walk more & that helped. After 24 weeks, I finished last July 27, 2015 & was totally cured and as of 2/16 liver hasnt any damage! Good luck to you too!

I have never kept any of this style boxes for myself so I'm building one from each wood where I milled the logs. This is from Texas hill country mesquite which has a pinkish color. Dimensions: 12×8x4 1/2". No glue (pinned) box joints. Shipwright hinges with live edge. Deft lacquer finish. I 'created' the live edge on the front of the lid as this slab was too wide for the top. This was a first for me but I liked the effect.

Andy, 3500 views…amazing. You are back with a vengeance! It looks like you make tight box joints and then drill a long hole and fit in a dowel. Is that right?
The "live" edge. It looks like you cut a wave pattern with your band saw, 45 with a pattern bit and then texture with a wire wheel. Is that the technique?

BUTLER COUNTY, MO (KFVS) - Update: Since KFVS 12 ran this story on Thursday April 25, 2013, seven more families have come forward.
Crystal Britt was also able to reach the official owner, Kyle Yarber, on the phone who said he inherited the cemetery. He would not comment on the accusations.
Matthews International, the monument company that the cemetery orders from is now conducting its own investigation.
Closure, is it too much to ask?
Two Butler County families came to us demanding answers, as they felt robbed in their darkest hours.
On September 7, 2010 16-year-old Bradley Hodge was on his way to school.
"He ran off the right side of the road, over-corrected and hit a tree," said Gina Hodge-Bradley's Mother.
He died instantly.
"My oldest son and I came up on it minutes after it happened," said Gina Hodge.
Bradley is buried at Memorial Gardens Cemetery outside of Poplar Bluff.
His parents say they ordered a $2,300 headstone through the cemetery.
Gina Hodge says she paid half up front, and then the rest in October.
"She (the owner) told me since we were having a picture put on it that it would take time," said Gina Hodge. "I expected that by Christmas it would be there."
The cemetery owner, Carolyn Yarber, died last March.
Gina Hodge says Yarber's step-son came to her saying he had taken over.
"He wanted to let me know and be honest with me that she never ordered the headstone," said Hodge.
She couldn't believe it.
"I was devastated she just took my money, and to me that was robbery," said Hodge.
Gina Hodge says Devon Scott told her he would take care of it.
"He promised me by Christmas it would be in and set," said Hodge.
It's now April, and still no headstone.
"Since then I haven't spoken to him (Scott), I've left messages and he won't return my calls," said Hodge.
I, Crystal Britt, couldn't get anyone to return my calls either.
I continued to call, and even went to Devon Scott's house where no one answered.
The only communication I've had so far from anyone from Memorial Gardens has been via text message with Devon Scott.
He said he's not the owner of the cemetery and that Carolyn's other son Kyle Yarber is.
My calls to Kyle Yarber have not been returned.
Devon Scott did make one mention in relation to the Hodge marker.
He sent me a text message saying that he went through a company called Matthews International, and got confirmation on the Hodge headstone back in January.
Matthews representatives couldn't talk to me about it for confidentiality reasons, but I'm told it shouldn't take more than two months to get a headstone made, and then set.
Again, for the Hodge's it's been more than two and a half years.
"I can't imagine I'm the only person who went through this," said Gina Hodge.
And, she's not.
"It's hard to think people would do that," said Ronald Stage.
Ronald Stage of Poplar Bluff also feels ripped off.
He lost his wife in October of 2010.
"She had a stroke, and didn't live long after that," said Stage.
Anna Stage is also buried at Memorial Gardens.
Right after her death, Ronald Stage says he ordered a double headstone.
"I paid down, and finished paying it off in August," said Stage.
He showed me the receipt and payment plan. It's marked, paid in full-August of 2012.
"He (Devon Scott) assured me it would be there before bad weather set in," said Stage.
Nine months later and still no headstone, or answers.
"They said they'd call me back and that never happened," said Stage.
Now Ronald Stage is dying. He's in the final stages of COPD.
"I don't have very much longer to go," said Stage.
He wants this solved before it's his time.
"All I want is my marker on my grave," said Stage.
As much as they don't want to see their son's name on a grave, the Hodge's know they need that conclusion.
"That's going to be a tough obstacle that I, and we as a family need to overcome," said Gina Hodge. "We can't have that closure until that stone is there and set."
The Hodge family filed a claim in Small Claims Court.
The complaints are starting to roll into the Attorney General's office, and also the Butler County Sheriff's Office.
We're told there may be even more victims.
If you or someone you know has been impacted, let us know. Send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com
There is also a memorial account set up to help the Hodge family get a headstone for their son. Those interested in making a donation can contact the 1st Midwest Bank in Poplar Bluff.

Public Parks Keep Out conference Nov 2003
We worked in partnership with GreenSpace to run this international conference, highlighting the importance of making parks and green spaces accessible to everyone.
Hosted in Manchester by the City Council, the conference was an opportunity for delegates to hear presentations about inclusive design, community involvement, and policy relating to the DDA and evaluation.
Sensory Trust was busy behind the scenes as well as running practical sensory mapping sessions and presenting - Jane Stoneham gave an overview of the Sensory Trust's approach to inclusive design illustrated by international examples of good practice.
Presenters also joined us from the USA - Valerie Fletcher highlighted the great work of Adaptive Environments based in Boston and working on projects around the world.
Site visits took us to two of Manchester's green spaces. At Wythenshawe Park delegates enjoyed a tour with John Steedman and Steve Downey from the parks department, who run a horticultural programme for people with learning difficulties. And we ran a practical session to demonstrate the application of our new sensory mapping evaluation tool.
At Hulme Park the principle Landscape Architect Neil Swanson gave an overview of the recent regeneration work in the park.
A lively evening auction produced proceeds for the Royal Schools for the Deaf in Manchester - a great example of a school that has made great use of its landscape.
