The vast majority of customers report positive experiences with USAA car insurance, but there's a catch -- it's open only to active military personnel, veterans and their families. Policyholders say they're happy with customer service and the claims process, and the company notches strong ratings for its financial strength. Customers who would prefer local agents should note that USAA does most business online or over the phone.
Good reviews for fair appraisals and settlements. USAA scores well in customer surveys of satisfaction with claims, getting particularly high marks for appraisals and settlements. It receives more average ratings for interaction with representatives during claims, the repair process and rental-car services. Though USAA maintains a list of approved repair shops for which they guarantee a high standard of work, customers may also select their own.
USAA does not require the use of parts made by the vehicle's original manufacturer. Rental-car reimbursement coverage is available, and the company will pay for tow trucks for customers who have physical damage coverage or towing and labor coverage.
No sudden rate hikes. Most USAA customers say they're satisfied with their premiums, and few report the sudden rate hikes that seem to plague many other companies. There are a variety of discounts, including lower rates for safe drivers, good students, customer loyalty, multiple policies and newer vehicles.
The company is rated highly for speedy service, purchase experience and a wide range of flexible plans, but some customers wish agents were available in person -- USAA conducts business online and over the phone. Call-center representatives are highly rated, however. Policyholders may report claims 24 hours a day.

Review solutions to frequently asked HDFaces troubleshooting questions.
Why can't I see other webinar participants' webcams?
Your webcam viewer may be minimized, but you can bring the viewer back up again from your taskbar or dock. If the organizer has unchecked the Attendees Can Share Webcams option, you will not be able to share your webcam. If you previously selected the Hide Webcams option from the Webcams drop-down menu, then select Show Webcams.
Why can't other attendees see my webcam?
Double check to see if your webcam is connected to your computer, and then try clicking the Share My Webcam button if you haven't already done so. To see if your webcam has been detected, open Preferences and select Webcam.
What should I do if I'm experiencing poor video quality?
Make sure you have adequate lighting in your room. If you have low bandwidth, you should make sure you have nothing else running that might use up bandwidth. If your webcam is out of focus, turn off the auto-focus setting on your webcam. You can also check to see if you're using one of our unsupported webcams.
What should I do if my webcam stops working?
If you have low bandwidth or CPU issues, you may see a "Low Bandwidth" or "Computer Overloaded" message. You'll be prompted to hide all webcams and/or stop sharing your own webcam. If you click Yes, all webcams and/or your own webcam will be hidden.
To improve bandwidth and CPU performance, close all other programs on your computer, and switch to a high-speed cable Internet connection (if you haven't already).
Why is the Share My Webcam button disabled (grayed out)?
The organizer may have disabled the Attendees Can Share Webcams setting or the maximum webcam limit may have been reached (only 6 webcams can be shared at once).
If you're an organizer and cannot share your webcam, open Preferences and select Webcam to make sure that your webcam has been detected. You may need to leave and restart the session.
After I clicked the Share My Webcam button, why do I see a "Connecting" message that won't go away?
The video conference may be down or unavailable. If you're an organizer, try restarting the meeting. If you're an attendee, try leaving the meeting and then rejoining.
What happens if I'm sharing my webcam and start experiencing connectivity issues?
If you're sharing your webcam and your network connection momentarily goes down for a few seconds, your webcam will automatically start back up again. If your connection is down for more than 1 minute, you will need to re-click the Share My Webcam button to restart video conferencing once your network becomes available again.

Rare Syd Barrett recording to be released
A rare live recording of Syd Barrett is to be released.
The performance dates from January 27, 1972, at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge.
The tapes were originally put up for auction at Bonham's in June 2010, listed as "1/4 inch reel-to-reel tape on 10inch BASF spool in Agfa PE36 box with handwritten recording details, with statement of provenance". They were later told to the Easy Action label.
The label's managing director, Carlton Sandercock,told Pink Floyd website Floydian Slip:
"We have indeed purchased and are preparing to release a live set by The Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band featuring Bruce Pain, Jack Monk and Twink. Guesting is Fred Frith and, on two maybe three songs, Syd Barrett.
"The music played in this set is a million miles away from anything Pink Floyd have ever done," he adds.
According to additional reports, Barrett appears on the last three tracks - "Number Nine (Gotta Be Reason", "Let's Roll" and "Sweet Little Angel".
The tracklisting for the release is:
Sea Cruise
L.A. To London Boogie
Drinkin' That Wine

Tyrone golf cart mishap injures 12-year-old girl
A 12-year-old Tyrone girl was injured May 26 when the golf cart she was riding in overturned. The driver of the golf cart, also a 12-year-old girl, was uninjured. Though only suffering "road rash," the injured girl was transported to Scottish Rite Hospital in Atlanta for treatment.
Tyrone Police Maj. Van Brock said the accident occurred at approximately 7 p.m. in the Chimney Springs subdivision when the driver of the golf cart lost control as it picked up speed while traveling on a downhill course. The golf cart was estimated to have been traveling at 15-20 miles per hour, Brock said.
The driver lost control and the golf cart overturned on the roadway, Brock said. One of the girls fell onto the ground and suffered a degree of road rash, Brock said, adding that the other girl landed on top of her and was uninjured. The injured girl was taken to Scottish Rite Hospital, said Brock.
No citations were issued, though Brock referenced the town's ordinance requiring that drivers of golf cart must, at minimum, have a learner's permit and be accompanied by a licensed driver.
"Don't let your kids drive golf carts unless they are of age and are responsible and are able to drive," Brock said in a cautionary comment to Tyrone parents.
Funny how this happens and gets in the paper, yet it happens all the time here in PTC and no citations. Time to start issuing citations regardless of who they know! Tired of underage kids driving golf carts when they shouldn't and speeding on the paths. Kind of that what's they get without an adult riding!
This is why 12-year-olds shouldn't drive golfcarts.
No power brakes means you have to push that pedal hard to stop! I don't know how this kind of incident doesn't happen in PTC with all these idiots flying down the middle of the paths and around blind curves at 20+ mph...
Why no ticket? They must know someone.....Had she been in Fayetteville......

Spectrarep to Deploy Next-Gen EAS in Missouri
Chantilly, VA - May 6, 2008 - Spectrarep will provide a digital upgrade to Missouri's Emergency Alert System and the Alert Missouri program. The new system will provide enhanced security, improved warning system coordination and simplified operational procedures without disrupting existing EAS facilities or programs. Missouri's Alert Manager system will support Homeland Security alerts, All Hazards alerts, and AMBER alerts.
The heart of Missouri's next-generation EAS will be the Alert Manager Alert Server Core and Command Center interface that will allow authorities to enable EAS messages along with audio and other multimedia, such as video, maps, digital photos and documents. The Alert Manager deployment will connect 56 broadcast locations to the Missouri State Highway Patrol as the AMBER Alert origination point.
Alert Manager is a patent-pending all-hazards emergency notification capability based on the latest version of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP). The system also provides a foundation for interoperability with other alerting systems, enabling authorities to deliver complete, consistent and coordinated warning messages to the public.

My name is Inny!
Facts about Inny
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Inny's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Inny is a love bug Tuxedo with light green eyes! He purrs as soon as he sees you and can't wait for you to sit or lay down so he can walk all over you. He loves to lay across any part of your body, even across your neck. He will purr and meow while he is getting petted and spread his front paws like a starfish, telling you how much he enjoys the attention. He is very sweet and friendly, gets along well with other cats. He grew up and is great friends with one of our other fosters, Belle (pastel gray female Tortie). has a very fun playful side as well. Loves to chase after toys, carries them around, and slips and slides on the floor when he is zooming around batting them. Very good soccer player. Inny and Belle are best friends. They have been together since they were kittens. They love to sleep together and chase each other around. They are very affectionate and love attention. Inny loves to snuggle on laps whenever he gets a chance. They love wet food and treats! Belle is very outgoing, adventurous , a fast runner, and loves to chase balls.
Inny is a such a beautiful and sweet boy. He will make a great pal! Please come see him and the other cats that are available or adoption at the PetSmart store in the District Shopping Center/Tustin.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Inny, a Irvine Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Irvine, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Irvine.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Irvine already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Irvine breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Irvine paves the way for another one to be saved.

Summary: This text is the industry standard for publishing the most recent and relevant articles in the field of deviance, by demonstrating to students how the concepts and theories of deviance can be applied to the world around them. The authors include both theoretical analyses and ethnographic illustrations of how deviance is socially constructed, organized, and managed. The Adlers challenge the reader to see the diversity and pervasiveness of deviance in society by coveri ...show moreng a wide variety of deviant acts represented throughout the text. Most importantly, the Adler and Adler present deviance as a component of society and examine the construction of deviance in terms of differential social power. The book takes an "interactionist" or "constructionist" perspective on deviance, looking at the processes in society that create deviance. The authors have selected studies that are ethnographic in character, focusing on the experiences of deviants, the deviant-making process, and the ways in which people labeled as deviant in society react to that label. Students enjoy the Adler's balanced selection of readings, as they are timely and engaging. In depth introduction, explanation of theory, and discussion questions after each reading help guide students through the material. ...show less

A 4/20 playlist from marijuana critic William Breathes that's perfect for an irie 420, mon
2. Easy Skankin' - Bob Marley
There's nothing I can't say about herb and life that Robert Nesta Marley hasn't put a million times more eloquently through song.
1. Legalize it - Peter Tosh
Tosh was an innovator and brilliant musician as well as a ganja crusader who wrote what is arguably the top pro-cannabis anthems ever written. This tune also has the distinction as being the first song I ever listened to when I got stoned for the very first time (thanks, cool cousin R.D.). Because of Peter Tosh, I learned that herb is also called tampeh, the weed, collie, marijuana and ganja. I learned not to criticize it, and that nurses, doctors, judges, and even lawyers smoke it (though clearly not enough of the latter two).
Happy 4/20, friends.

About Apprenticeship
Additional Information
Featured Links
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a nontraditional occupation (NTO) for women is "one in which women comprise 25 percent or less of total employment."
The Maine Department of Labor expands on this definition to declare any occupation in which one sex makes up a large majority of the workers to be an NTO.
Full-time, year-round female workers in Maine earn 77 cents for every $1 their male counterparts earn.
Why enter into an NTO?
- Higher Wages
- Better benefits
- Opportunity for advancement
- Job satisfaction
- Growth in the economy is projected to expand employment in many of these occupations
- There will be strong demand for workers in these fields
- You get to see concrete products of your work
- To be role models for your children and/or other women and girls
Apprenticeship allows you to earn while you learn. While you attend college credit courses on a part time basis, you work full time for your Apprenticeship sponsor.
Many occupations that are dominated by males have shorter training periods than occupations in other field male-dominated occupations have shorter training periods than jobs in other lines of work. NTOs for women commonly offer higher entry-level pay and a career ladder with wages between $20 and $30 per hour. For a list of nontraditional occupations for women, visit the U.S. DOL Women's Bureau website.
Translation: You could be earning a living wage only a couple of years after graduating from high school.

Consumers Businesses
January 16, 1996
(301) 504-7908
Release # 96-059
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), two furniture manufacturers are warning consumers that some of their children's bedroom furniture may pose a serious tipover hazard. Ridgewood Inc. of Ontario, Canada, and Charleswood Inc. of Wright City, Mo., sold approximately 585,000 chifferobes (combination dresser/wardrobes) and approximately 309,000 four-drawer dressers under the brand name "Cosco Youth Options." These chifferobes and dressers may become unstable and tip over if heavy objects are placed in the top drawers, several drawers are open at the same time, or a child climbs on the unit. Consumers are urged to remove the feet/glides to greatly reduce the risk of tipover. If the furniture tips over, it could fall on a child, causing serious injury such as fractures, internal injuries, or suffocation. Ridgewood and Charleswood have received reports of one chifferobe tipover and 11 dresser tipover incidents. The chifferobe incident and two of the dresser tipovers allegedly involved serious injuries to children.This warning involves Ridgewood and Charleswood Chifferobe Model Numbers 80813 and 88813; and Four-Drawer Dresser Model Numbers 80413 and 88413. The furniture may have been marketed and sold under the name, "Cosco Youth Options." The white laminated chifferobe, measuring approximately 51 inches high, 46 inches long, and 16 inches deep, consists of a closet along the left side of the unit, and two shelves and three drawers on the right side of the unit. The white laminated four-drawer dresser measures 38 inches high, 30 inches long, and 16 inches deep. Both units are sold with rounded, black, plastic feet/glides, measuring 1.5 inches high, which can be attached to the bottom of the furniture. Leading department stores and juvenile furniture stores, including Wal-Mart and Kmart, sold the furniture nationwide since 1991. The chifferobe costs approximately $89 to $109, and the four-drawer dresser costs approximately $79 to $89. The unassembled furniture was packaged in a box labeled in part, "Cosco Youth Options."For more information, consumers should call the companies' hotline at (800) 314-9327.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at (800) 638-2772 or teletypewriter at (301) 595-7054 for the hearing impaired.

Where can I get them??? I'm not in Australia or California, and that's the only place I've seen Boronia for sale online - and they don't ship
And I'm not finding Trailing arbutus anywhere and both of these are famous for drop dead fragrance. I yearn! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Boronia megastigma seeds turn up from time to time, but I have never succeeded in germinating them. Cuttings, however, are VERY easy to root. Ask some of your local florists to lookout for 'brown' or 'yellow' boronia (megastigma), which is sold in bunches as a filler flower. Also very fragrant (but not the same fragrance) is the 'pink' boronia (heterophylla). This one I've seen sold in a few nurseries in the Seattle area in the spring, as potted plants. Hope this helps! |
I've never smelled boronia but I've heard the fragrance is legendary -- if you do find stems and manage to root them, they like well-drained, sandy soil and good sun, but never let them dry out too much, is what I've read. Do a search for epigea repens (botanic name for trailing arbutus), and you should find a few spots in your area that stock it (forestfarm comes to mind). It's a classic forest understory creeper: cool, moist, acidic soil with lots of leaf mulch mixed in, and partial shade; if you've got those conditions you're golden. Oh, and if you manage to actually flower your cutting -- DON'T tell me how awesome it smells, I couldn't stand it! Jim |
- Posted by mercedes2653 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 24, 09 at 0:32
I've bought boronia multiple times from Cistus Nursery in Portland. They have amazing plants and I can confirm that the smell of a boronia lives up to the hype! Right now I have two called 'Hot Chocolate'. |
Boronia megastigma is a fairly fussy plant to grow. The pinc flowers of Boronia heterophylla may not be quite as powerfully fragrant but they are cheerfully colourful on a more vigorous plant that is easier to grow (at least in warm temperate climates; and the foliage is very fragrant - to brush against it beside a pathway gives a strong citrusy note year round that is a delight. |

I have a new wood (solid) fence which is 20+ feet long, that is calling for a vine. I'm thinking of either Virginia Creeper or Boston Ivy. What is the best for summer and fall both? They are so close but are so different. Does Boston Ivy fill in more complete?
Which one do I choose????????? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Virginia Creeper is invasive, and the roots will crawl just underground. Don't think it will behave nicely and stick to just the fence. |
I have 120 square feet of fenced back yard which needed to be covered quickly because of a neighbouring swimming pool. I decided to use Virginia creeper.This stuff grows like wildfire and covered the fence beautifully.Unfortunately it has become a bit of a rogue and wants to travel even further along the ground and into my flower beds.I am continually ripping it up,and also thinning it out on top.It is VERY vigorous so be careful if you plan to use this as a cover. I am sure my neighbours hate me because of this vine.I may be moving soon,and the poor people who inherit this will hate me too. |
- Posted by mariposatraicionera (My Page) on Sat, Jul 5, 08 at 19:02
I have no idea which type I have, but it seems really hardy and has covered an area I didn't know what to plant in. Now I am getting scared because it's up the tree and on the fence and covered the ground well, but maybe it's too much of a good thing? Are ALL Ivy plants like that? |

Hi. See the attached images that show problems with a drop-down list config. It also doesn't seem to work with a search type either. I havew tried this on several web clients and it is the same on all.

1) Create a form that uses a WS linked pick-list, single selection
2) Check from, create some items, works OK
3) Change field setup to be a search type rather than single selection
4) Try to create another item - search field does not display in form.
5) Check field setup back to single selection
6) Try to create a new item - drop down list generates
Hi David,

Beck and the Pumpkin Patch
Before Beck was born my sister told me, "Holidays are better with kids." At the time, all I could picture was having to tend to a child before getting to eat Thanksgiving dinner and couldn't imagine that was true. But as Beck grows and gets excited about traditions we establish, I couldn't agree more. Especially when it comes to Halloween.
Last weekend, we participated in the popular tradition of visiting a pumpkin patch, and Beck's enthusiasm and pumpkin perching made the event much more fun than dragging my husband to the patch a few years earlier. I love seeing the wonderment in Beck's eyes and actions. Here you can see it through these photos I put together from the day.

Do you want to reject the section of Chapter 399 of the Public Laws of 2011 that requires new voters to register to vote at least two business days prior to an election?What does a "yes" vote do? It repeals a new law that requires voters to register two days before an election.
What does a "no" vote do? It retains the new law.
How I'm voting: Yes.
Why am I voting that way? Because this is a classic example of everything that's wrong with government, and the state's Republicans ought to be ashamed of themselves that this, their greatest accomplishment in the last legislative session, is a restriction on fundamental liberty.
Charlie Summers, Maine's secretary of state |
Yup. GOP failures have little to do with bad ideas (on the rare occasion when a party member can form a cogent sentence), inept leadership, self-sabotage or a general world view that's execrable to most people living south of Brunswick. Republican fortunes, according to Republicans themselves, were in large part due to stuffed ballot boxes.
Now, the direct and conjectural evidence that bears out the total nonsense of such a claim is manifest. To the extent that even Charlie Summers, the Republican secretary of state who undertook to prove that liberals were circumventing the election process with mass voting-day registrations, could only come up one case of a non-citzen voting in Maine.
Far be it for me to point out that we pissed valuable time and treasure down a pipe investigating a conspiracy theory formulated within the top ranks of the majority party. I would never think myself the person to note that Summers' "it could happen" is the kind of reasoning that leads to children and the elderly being sexually molested at airports by rent-a-cops who routinely fail to detect weapons in carry-on luggage.
No, it would be entirely wrong of me to note that the proudest moment for Real Americans® was to needlessly restrict fundamental liberty.
Charlie Webster, Maine GOP chairman |
But don't get me wrong. I'm no fan of hipsters or Canadians, either. Had the GOP simply suggested deporting them all, they'd have my vote. As I've long said, we've militarized the wrong border.)
In all seriousness, this voter registration law is a solution seeking a problem. It's the child of small minds that seek to blame others for the GOP's longstanding failure to connect with voters. And the great shame in it is that Republicans -- especially conservatives, such as the Tea Party types -- believe themselves the protectors of traditional, small-government, pro-liberty principles.
Of course, this nation has a long history of enfranchising only landed lords, of poll taxes and the outright purchasing of votes, by all political shades. So maybe, in that sense, the registration law is in context and apropos.
But until the GOP can prove to me we need this law, I'd just as soon do the job they ought to be doing, and muck out the statute stalls. Since this is the freshest load atop the manure pile, it deserves the pitchfork.

VALPARAISO — While the Porter County Board of Commissioners confirmed the amount of money Porter County PACT is getting from interest on the sale of the hospital to purchase a new building, President John Evans, R-North, had a few words of warning during Tuesday's meeting.
"Part of this is going to involve ongoing maintenance and care of the building you're in, and you need CEDIT funding for that," Evans said, referring to the County Economic Development Income Tax. "The county has no CEDIT funding at this point in time."
Both the Porter County Council and the commissioners have agreed to give PACT, which offers programs to offenders referred to participate through the court system, $600,000 in hospital sale interest money for the purchase of Legacy Banquet Center, 1356 Lincolnway.
The agency now has offices in two homes in a residential neighborhood, and moving to the new property – renovations should be complete in March – will provide more room for expanded services.
The agency will require $139,000 a year in CEDIT funds for new hires, programming and other needs, and commissioners still don't have access to the budget passed by the council on a split vote in October, Evans said.
"All the maintenance agreements we're funding with it – every time you turn around, you're not going to have money to fund it without CEDIT," Evans said.
Other funds, including cumulative capital development, which provides for things like sheriff's department vehicles, also are affected, he said.
He is hopeful the matter can be resolved with the council. Council members on Monday pledged to have more open communication and a better relationship with the commissioners.
In other matters, Evans retained his seat as president as the commissioners reorganized and new commissioner Laura Blaney, D-South, is serving as vice president.
Additionally, commissioners voted to retain all of the county's department heads for the year. Michelle Smith, who has been operating the Memorial Opera House on an interim basis, was named the facility's permanent director.
Lastly, commissioners will be moving their meeting time from 2 p.m. to 1 p.m. to better accommodate people traveling from downstate – and the Eastern Standard Time – to meet with the board.

My father-in-law brought me back some type of Annona seeds from San Diego which he explained are from a fruit he refers to as "anona". They look very similar to A. cherimola seeds although perhaps a bit darker. He is originally from Nicaragua, so the fruit name is a bit lost in translation. They are not from a A. muricata b/c he would call that a guanabana. Anyone have any ideas? Is there a fruit people call anona down in San Diego? He said he'll bring me a fruit next time he goes down there, so hopefully that will solve the mystery. |

Jody Stephens Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on March 3, 2010, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, JODY STEPHENS, a 47-year-old resident of Billings, appeared for sentencing. STEPHENS was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 14 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Restitution: to be determined within 90 days
- Supervised Release: 1 year
STEPHENS was sentenced in connection with her guilty plea to misprision of a felony.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
STEPHENS worked for a car dealership in Montana until January of 2007, serving in the roles of comptroller and office manager. She had actual knowledge of the following facts showing that her supervisor committed the crime of mail fraud.
From at least September 2005 until October 2006, STEPHENS' supervisor knew that employees at the car dealership represented to customers who traded-in vehicles with outstanding loans that their loans would be paid off by the dealership. Because the dealership was suffering financial problems and could not pay off all the loans, the supervisor told employees, including STEPHENS, not to pay off the loans on certain vehicles that had been traded-in. Instead, the supervisor directed employees, including STEPHENS, to make payments on those loans to try to keep the loans current.
The supervisor lied and directed STEPHENS to lie to customers who called asking why the loans on their traded-in vehicles had not been paid off. Specifically, on September 13, 2006, STEPHENS concealed the fraud by lying to a customer and telling him that his loan was not paid off because a girl who worked at the dealership quit and another went to a different department.
The supervisor also knew that employees at the dealership did not tell customers purchasing traded-in vehicles that the vehicles had outstanding liens. The supervisor also knew that employees represented to the purchasing customers' lenders, or knew that the purchasing customers represented to their lenders, that the purchased vehicles did not have outstanding liens when, in fact, he knew that some of them did.
On October 5, 2006, the supervisor caused to be mailed with the U.S. Postal Service a $600 check from the dealership to Wells Fargo Bank which was holding the loan on a vehicle that had been traded-in in order to try to keep the customer current on the loan.
STEPHENS did not as soon as possible make known the crime to someone in authority. She did not make known the crime to anyone in authority at all until she was confronted by federal law enforcement.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that STEPHENS will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, STEPHENS does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Kurt G. Alme prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Terminator T-800 Virtual Assistant Arrives, Looking for Siri Connor
With its Siri personal virtual assistant technology in the iPhone 5, Apple has proven that we're willing to converse with our technology – assuming it has more of a personality than your average "say one for tech support" voice recognition system. With Siri's demeanor being somewhere between helpful and smart-ass, I still can't see her being helpful if you need to off some humans. That's where the Terminator T-800 Virtual Assistant comes in.
When YouTuber programming4fun found this awesome 3D model of the metal T-800 from Terminator 2, he was inspired to make his own "special" personal assistant. Using a Microsoft Kinect to do head tracking, he was able to not only make it so the floating Terminator head looks like a floating hologram, but used the speech recognition so he could ask it do his bidding.
Damn, I was hoping that its voice would sound like Ahnold. At this point, the T-800 personal assistant seems pretty docile – unless you mention John or Sarah Connor, but that's to be expected. Now as long as we don't ever combine this technology with the ham-boning robot, we should be pretty safe for now.

Three Tasty Valentine's Day Hotel Specials Worth Sampling
BLT Steak at The Betsy
The Valentine's Day hotel packages have been running hot and heavy for awhile now. But with the day upon us, we though you might appreciate these last-minute options. Here are Three Tasty Hotel Valentine's Day specials being served up today:
1. BLT Steak and The Betsy Hotel
This restaurant (a favorite of ours for its pretty decor and meat-alicious menu) is offering a poem with dinner all this week--you can request one from your server although they'll probably offer it up when they bring your bread basket and water. Guests can choose from poems by Maria Rainer Rilke, Hyam Plutzik, Campbell McGrath, EE Cummings, and other lovelorn souls. They're free to take, and of course read to your dining partner at your leisure. Apart from being old-time romantic, the poetry idea seems to have sprung from the fact that the hotel owner's late father was himself a poet. (You can request one of his poems, too.)

Hotel Rates In NYC That Are Making Us Smile Right Now
On Friday, we shared a deal we found for a hotel room in NYC going for the very reasonable rate of $115/night on Quikbook. Now, we get that this is still winter and all�aka the slow period for hotels�but that post made us stop and think to ourselves, 'Surely there are other ways to enjoy NYC without breaking the bank on a hotel room?'
And indeed, when you're willing to get a little creative, there are.
Start with Manhattan's flophouse-turned-chic-hotel, the Bowery House. Rates here start as low as $49/night for bunks and $59/night for cabins, though honestly, you may as well bite the bullet and go for one of the cabins. You'll forget all about that $10 difference once you end up with one of those cute cubbyhole rooms all to yourself!

Where Not to Celebrate Valentine's Day This Year
Last week we rounded up some hotels for lovers this Valentine's Day but if you're not currently attached, that doesn't mean you can't hit up a hotel for V-Day. Quite a few hotels have put together some fun packages and events for singletons. In fact, we're kind of jealous. These are waaaay more exciting than champagne and rose petals. Here's where you can let your single flag fly high and proud.
· Four Seasons Miami: The downtown Miami hotels is hosting a "Lonely Hearts Club group dinner on Valentine's Day. Served in a communal table in the Hotel�s new restaurant, Edge Steak and Bar, the prix fixe dinner will serve singletons Love Sucks (stacks of east coast seafood), Burnt Bitter and Bleu (bitter greens salad, burnt almond praline, blue cheese and balsamic), Home Alone TV Dinner (whole roast prime rib, truffle macaroni and cheese and vegetable succotash) and the Broken Hearted Napoleon with passion (less) fruit sauce.

Pounce On These Leap Year Hotel Deals Now, Before They Leap Away
Yes, it's a Leap Year! An entire day added to the month, an entire extra day for some hotel-lovin'. And the hotels are pretty excited about it too! We've hunted around for the best Leap Year deals from San Antonio to New York to London. Unsurprisingly, several of them overlap with Valentine's Day festivities�but as they say, bargains make the heart grow fonder...
Grand Hyatt New York, fresh from its recent $130 million renovation, is feeling generous. So they're singling out people who are either turning 29 this year or who were born on a leap year. While the 29-year-olds actually make out with something cool (free appetizer or dessert at New York Central, pictured above), leap year babies (anyone born in 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, etc), as usual, get the short end of the stick. That would be a "free" Dylan's Candy Bar cupcake...-shaped tin (not even an actual cupcake!) from the hotel's 24-hour convenience store, Market.
With a purchase of $9 or more. Seriously. These guys only celebrate their birthday once every four years. Can't we just give them a free cupcake and call it a day? Rates from $309.

Nothing Says 'I Love You' Like a Kimpton Bathrobe
Unlike other industries, where it's just about guzzling free candy and wearing too many red cardigans, Valentine's Day is a special time of year for hotels. The January slump is suddenly reversed by couples seeking out romantic getaways, anonymous hook-ups, and indulgent spa treatments. Not to mention special food that puts you in that special mood. Here are our three picks for Valentine's Day hotels in NYC.
Remember when we found out Kimpton Hotels devoted an entire month to flaunt their funky leopard-, giraffe-, and zebra-print bathrobes? And remember how, unless you were a guest, it was kinda hard to get one? Well, that part is still the same. But they're making it more worth your while with a month-long "Robe-mance" package ($269, booking code ROBES) that includes a $25 dining and beverage credit and two robes.
