Kim­berly Ann Wat­son (of 323B Mossie Smith Road in Easley, SC) was arrested on June 5, 2010 for Boat­ing Under the Influ­ence. Ms. Wat­son pled guilty to the charges on June 18, 2010.

Fif­teen peo­ple have died on South Car­olina water­ways this year com­pared with 11 in all of 2009, accord­ing to the state Depart­ment of Nat­ural Resources, which will offer cour­tesy boat safety inspec­tions and have offi­cers on patrol over the hol­i­day weekend.

DNR encour­ages all boaters to use a des­ig­nated dri­ver. On the water, the effects of alco­hol or drugs are mag­ni­fied by the ele­ments of sun, wind and wave action. Alco­hol impairs coör­di­na­tion of arm and leg move­ments, slows response to emer­gency sit­u­a­tions and makes it dif­fi­cult for boat oper­a­tors to scan the horizon.

In South Car­olina, any per­son involved in an acci­dent that causes a death or seri­ous injury faces an implied con­sent alco­hol test, and con­vic­tion car­ries penal­ties up to 25 years impris­on­ment and a $25,000 fine.

We love read­ing the dis­cus­sions that develop on Answers. We love the fresh and inno­v­a­tive dev solution’s, the some­times heated dis­cus­sions over age old issues and appre­ci­ate all of the inspi­ra­tion that is offered by Answers’ users.
Some­times though, we come across a ques­tion that is nei­ther con­tro­ver­sial nor dif­fi­cult to answer. And that is the point of Answers, its not just about the tricky ques­tions and com­plex solu­tions within web design, it is also there to help begin­ners and ama­teurs. And that is what we would like to high­light in this post.

Best Answer from Scun­liffe:

My boss asked me this very ques­tion just the other day. The finan­cial appli­ca­tion sys­tem we use requires “.htm” and he was won­der­ing why the devel­op­ers chose one over the other. [Gregbo]
