In Yahoo Fantasy Football what determines a team's Waiver position in the league? It does not appear to be related to Wins/Losses or previous Moves.

I want to set myself a reminder or send myself an email one year from now to notify me of a potential job opening. I don't want to use my Outlook calendar since it's tied to my work pc, and I don't use Google calendar or similar. Can anyone recommend an email service that will delay that long?

Or, since I just got an android phone is there a good calendar app that I could use?

My subdivision is establishing a Homeowners Association, but the name we'd like to use is already taken according to the Missouri Business Entity search. How close to that registered name are we allowed to get? We wanted to be [Subdivision Name] Homeowners Association, but could we be Homeowners Association of [Subdivision Name]? Or do we have to go with something completely different since our Subdivision name is in use?

This question is regarding a subdivision in unincorporated Lincoln County, Missouri. Any experience with real estate law would be helpful, but I am seeking general guidance not legal advice.

My subdivision has experienced numerous legal issues since the beginning. The original developer defaulted on his responsibilities. Control was then assumed by the developer's father using a shell company that has been listed as dissolved for years. During that time, the various homeowners have all been issued several different HOA rules and bylaws. This company has now completed all the development that it plans to do and is ready to vacate the area – Phase 2 has been canceled. The owner has contacted one of our neighbors and asked her to appoint 3 residents to assume control of the HOA. This neighbor has asked me for assistance with how to proceed.

According to everything I've read, the proper way to turn over control would be for the developer to host a meeting and have a general election for a board of directors. Clearly our developer has no interest in doing so. I have lived in this subdivision since the beginning, and I would like to see services like street lights and snow removals continue. This is a small subdivision of about 75 houses off a rural highway, not a large gated community or a CID. We don't have much to administer; a little common ground at the entrance and rear of the subdivision, street lights, storm drains, a retention pond and 5 narrow streets. My goal is to see this turn into a group of homeowners who can make sure the basics are covered and not a patrol that issues "tickets" if your lawn gets up to 2" or if your door isn't the right color. I’m fairly confident I have a good group of neighbors that have the community’s best interest at heart, but I want to make sure we do everything legally and by the book.

So now that you have the background, I have a few questions:

Can the developer legally appoint a director to assume control, and if so can we still hold a general election?

Are there any legal hurdles to assuming control that we should be aware of?

If all the homeowners in the subdivision agree to accept the HOA is it legally binding, or do we need a specific type of agreement?

A significant portion of the properties have been purchased by realtor who is offering these homes a rent-to-own. Do we need to include the renters in the HOA or the owner? Since this realtor owns multiple properties do we need to have a special agreement with the realtor, or does he automatically have a majority vote in the HOA? Do we charge fees to the renters or to the realtor?

Do we need to incorporate as a LLC or a NPO? Or is there another way to create the HOA without incorporating?

How do we obtain all the necessary paperwork and information from the developer without letting him charge us “consultant” fees? (I’m not certain this will happen, but I’m not willing to rule out the possibility.)

Anything else in general I should know?

I spoke to my employer on the 16th about submitting two weeks notice. At the time, I asked my supervisor if he would like me to submit the notice in writing. I was told that wouldn't be necessary, immediately followed by my employer asking if I would accept an offer from his company to keep my current position. I told him that I would be willing to listen, and negotiations began. Well, counter-offer followed counter-offer and in the end I wound up accepting the new position. When I told my supervisor of my intentions to continue with my original acceptance, he asked me when my last day would be. I told him that I would be expected on the original start date by my new employer (the 2nd), he informed me that it would be very unprofessional of the other company not to allow me to submit a full two weeks notice and asked me to speak to them about this. He then sent me an email stating that if I wished to be professional I would inform my new employer that I would require two weeks to give notice.

Now, I'm not going to tell my new employer that I won't be there on the start date; it would cost me the job. However, I need to finish out the week at my current job and I'd like to avoid a hostile work environment while I'm here. I'm also concerned that my supervisor would use this issue to give me a bad reference in the future should I ever find myself seeking employment again. How should I respond to him?

Some of the 3rd party companies I support have chosen to ignore our support guidelines which state IE 8 is incompatible with our websites. Many of these companies are upgrading to Windows 7. I am aware of Compatibility mode in IE8, but I am not allowed to support any lost functionality for browsers other than IE7. Short of installing a VM, is there any way to run IE 7 on Windows 7?
