Sac County Authorities Investigate Kidnapping and Dead Body
EARLY, Iowa (AP) - Police in western Iowa discovered the body of a woman while investigating the apparent kidnapping of another woman.
The Sac County sheriff's office says authorities received a call about 8 a.m. Thursday after someone encountered a 21-year-old woman trying to run from a vehicle and claiming she had been kidnapped.
After talking with the woman, deputies found a suspect hiding in a nearby barn.
Deputies arrested 21-year-old Kirk Riley Levin. He was being held Thursday night at the Sac County Jail on charges of assault with intent to commit sexual assault, assault while participating in a felony and third degree kidnapping.
While investigating the matter, authorities found the body of another woman near Early. The name of the dead woman isn't being released until police can notify her family.
Record Number of Lives Saved By Smoke Alarms
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials say smoke alarms saved a record number of people's lives in the state last year.
The Iowa State Fire Marshal says more than 215 people survived because of working smoke alarm systems in their homes. That's a jump from about 185 in 2011, and about 145 in 2010.
Most people saved by smoke alarms were asleep during the night. Officials say advance warning also reduces property damage. The state estimates $20 million in property damage for fires with
working smoking alarms. Property damage climbs to $46 million for fires with no smoke alarm.
Officials say 42 people were killed in fires in the state last year.
Wellmark/Blue Cross-Blue Shield Wants To Raise Insurance Rates
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Dozens of Iowans have asked the state health insurance commissioner to deny another premium increase sought by the state's dominant health insurer, Wellmark Blue Cross
and Blue Shield.
The company wants to raise premiums on 150,000 individual policyholders by 12 percent to 13 percent starting in April. Wellmark has been raising premiums for the past several years, including 9.4
percent last year and 8.5 percent in 2011.
Wellmark says it needs more money to pay for the higher costs of medical services.
The company sells about 86 percent of the nonemployer health insurance policies in Iowa.
On Saturday state Insurance Commissioner Susan Voss will hold a public hearing on the company's request.
People Speak Out Against Voting Eligibility Rules
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - About 40 people spoke at a public hearing to oppose a proposed new rule that would establish a process for removing voters from registration rolls if they cannot prove citizenship.
Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz is pushing the rule. He says it's needed because he believes people who are not U.S. citizens are registering to vote in Iowa.
Many of the speakers say the rule will intimidate and scare voters, especially recent immigrants, from voting.
The hearing was carried statewide on the Iowa Communications Network to allow broad participation. Comments came from several locations including Des Moines, Sioux City, Bettendorf and Iowa City.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa says Schultz doesn't have the authority to pass the rule himself without legislative approval.
Stewart Iverson To Head Tax Appeal Board
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Former Iowa Senate GOP leader Stewart Iverson has been appointed to lead a state agency monitoring property tax appeals in the state.
The Des Moines Register reports Gov. Terry Branstad announced the appointment Thursday. Iverson's annual salary to be chairman of the Iowa Property Tax Assessment Appeal Board will be $137,000.
Iverson is filling the term left by Richard Stradley, who resigned in November. It will run through April 2017.
The tax board is a state agency that conducts administrative hearings regarding the appeal process of an assessment or valuation.
Pawlenty Asks ISU For Hefty Speaking Fee
AMES, Iowa (AP) - It would've cost big bucks to get Tim Pawlenty to return to Ames, where his presidential campaign ended in 2011 after a poor finish at the Iowa Straw Poll.
Emails released by Iowa State University show its Harkin Institute of Public Policy wanted Pawlenty to come speak this year about Iowa's leadoff role in the presidential nominating process.
Pawlenty's agent told school officials his speaking fee was $25,000 plus expenses. Institute director Dave Peterson wrote that fee was "well beyond" what the institute could afford, but started asking others whether they could "cobble together enough" university funds from elsewhere.
The idea was dropped after lectures program director Pat Miller objected to the payment. Miller argued the university has long claimed "Iowans don't pay for politicians," given the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses.
Pella Woman Pleads Guilty To Fraud
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A southern Iowa woman who convinced friends to loan her hundreds of thousands of dollars under false pretenses has pleaded guilty to mail fraud.
Beverely DeRonde of Pella entered the plea Thursday in federal court in Des Moines under an agreement in which prosecutors dropped 11 other charges.
The 61-year-old acknowledged that she fraudulently asked relatives and acquaintances to loan her money so she could buy birthday and anniversary presents to surprise her husband or
equipment so he could open a boat shop. Instead, she actually used the money to buy antiques, jewelry and Rolex watches for herself while failing to repay them.
DeRonde remains free on bond, but faces a possible prison term at her sentencing in April. She also agreed to pay full restitution, which hasn't been calculated.

Five mathematicians turned into millionaires this week when they were awarded the Breakthrough Prize set up by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and internet entrepreneur Yuri Milner. Simon Donaldson, Maxim Kontsevich, Jacob Lurie, Terry Tao and Richard Taylor will each receive £1.8m. That's more than the £930,000 that's awarded for the Nobel prize and should make up for the fact neither of the five is likely to ever to receive a Nobel: there isn't one for mathematics.
It's the first time this prize has been awarded to mathematicians. It joins a string of other prizes Milner has set up to reward physicists and life scientists. The idea is to give mathematicians (and other scientists) the "rock star status" they deserve. "We think scientists should be much better appreciated. They should be modern celebrities, alongside athletes and entertainers," Milner told the Guardian. "We want young people to get more excited. Maybe they will think of choosing a scientific path as opposed to other endeavours if we collectively celebrate them more."
Maxim Kontsevich. Image: Gert-Martin Greuel.
The five mathematicians that have been chosen certainly made big splashes in the world of mathematics. You may have come across Richard Taylor and Terence Tao on Plus before: Taylor (among other things) helped Andrew Wiles solve a famous 350-year-old problem called Fermat's last theorem. Tao was one of the youngest people to ever receive the Fields medal (another prestigious maths prize) in 2006 and has delivered a range of ground breaking work, including on prime numbers.
Jacob Lurie
The other three are equally eminent. Simon Donaldson (with whom we had the pleasure of working on a forthcoming series of articles) has provided deep insight into geometrical structures inspired by theoretical physics. Lurie, at 36 the youngest of the five, has also been honoured for work on the mathematical end of physics, as well as results that lie on the interface between geometry and topology on the one hand and algebra on the other. Kontsevich is also a theoretical physicist, but has been awarded the prize for an astounding range of contributions to pure maths.
Terence Tao
Million dollar prizes are always a contentious issue. The money spent on a few individuals could be used to fund maths education at home or in developing countries, help support young researchers or those disadvantaged in some way, or fund important research projects. Milner and Zuckerberg's reply will no doubt be that a hefty prize tag, even if slightly unseemly, raises awareness and sends a clear message. Maths is essential, even the sort of pure maths that some of the laureates are being honoured for, which may at first sight seem useless. In a world of short attention spans money talks.
Richard Taylor.
UK mathematicians seem to have responded to the prize with mixed feelings. One unnamed mathematician cast some doubt on the prize's aim when he told the Guardian, "I find it interesting that they think it's possible to make rock stars out of people who do something that 99% of the population have no hope of understanding, and I include most professional mathematicians in that." This is something we don't agree with. While there is not much hope of explaining a mathematician's work to a general audience in great detail, it is certainly possible to give the gist of an area, and communicate its excitement, attraction and motivation. You won't convince everyone, just as you won't convince everyone of the worth of a piece of art, but you will always enthuse a few and interest many. If this is something mathematicians find hard to do themselves, then perhaps a little chunk of those millions should go towards funding maths communication.

Monday 23 June 2014 would have been Alan Turing's 102nd birthday. One of the 20th century's great mathematicians, Turing made profound contributions to a wide range of fields including computer science, artificial intelligence and mathematical biology. He also played a crucial role in the Allied codebreaking work at Bletchley Park during World War II, credited by some historians with shortening the conflict by two years.
More recently, much public attention has focused on the controversy surrounding his 1952 conviction for gross indecency under the punitive anti-homosexuality laws in force in Britain at the time: an official pardon was issued by the British government in December 2013. Turing's life and work has also inspired several representations on stage and screen, including the acclaimed play and BBC drama Breaking the Code and a forthcoming film, The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley.
To celebrate Turing's birthday, learn more about his contributions to mathematics with these Plus articles, and watch the video below, produced by the University of Cambridge to mark Turing's centenary in 2012, in which James Grime (who works alongside Plus as part of the Millennium Mathematics Project) gives an overview of Turing's story.

Recently we had to learn about tensors for an upcoming article. What are those, you ask? We didn't know at first either. Like some other concepts in maths, they seem confusing at first but actually are just a way of capturing information we are all used to.
Image created by Robert A. Rohde / Global Warming Art
First of all, let's start with scalars. Scalars are just your ordinary, everyday, real numbers. A scalar field is used to describe something that has a particular value at every point in the space you are considering. For example, a map of temperatures across the UK, or indeed the world, is a scalar field; with a value for the temperature at each point on the map. You can read more about how scalar fields describe dark energy and the Higgs boson.
Then we get to the more dynamic concept of vector fields. A vector field is something that associates a vector (a magnitude and direction) to every point in space. Again, thanks to meteorology we have the familiar example of a wind map as a vector field. Vector fields are incredibly important in maths and physics and, like in our example of a wind map, usually describe how things move. You find out how fluid dynamics uses vector fields to model the movement of tears, wind and waves in Births and deaths in fluid chaos
A tensor field
A tensor just extends this definition to one where the value of some property depends on the direction in which you measure it. So where a vector is a magnitude and a particular direction from some point, a tensor gives a magnitude for every direction from that point. A tensor field is something that assigns a tensor to every point in space. Naturally it's harder to picture a tensor field but if you've ever played with a piece of chewing gum you've actually seen one in action. As you pull a piece of gum (or some other rubbery substance) between your fingers, it stretches in tension along one direction but compresses in the other perpendicular directions. So for each point in the gum the stress is a function of direction: in each direction the stress will take a certain value that is a combination of the contributions from these tension and compression stresses.
Tensors are incredibly useful tools, particularly when describing things in higher dimensions. The curvature of multidimensional surfaces (called manifolds) is described with tensors and Einstein used tensors to describe both the curvature and distribution of matter of four-dimensional space-time. You can read more about Einstein and the role of curvature on Plus.
So there you go. Tensors are nothing to get tense about!

Congratulations to Plus contributors David Spiegelhalter and Helen Mason, who have been awarded a knighthood and OBE respectively in the 2014 Queen's Birthday Honours list! Joining famous faces including Dame Maggie Smith, Angelina Jolie and Daniel Day-Lewis, Helen Mason and David Spiegelhalter's honours have been awarded to recognise their outstanding work in mathematics, science and public communication.
Professor — now Sir — David Spiegelhalter is Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, and has been knighted for "services to statistics". A medical statistician, he has played a leading role in developing simulation technologies and clinical trials on drug safety, and has supported the UK health service through many inquiries, including the public inquiry into children's heart surgery at Bristol Royal Infirmary.
As the official government press release notes, and as regular readers of Plus will already know, Spiegelhalter has also 'made a significant difference to how to communicate with patients and the public about risk'. He started the brilliant project Understanding Uncertainty, writes public articles, lectures to public and school audiences and has appeared on TV and radio (ranging from being interviewed on the BBC's heavy-hitting Newsnight to appearing as a contestant in Winter Wipeout). Watch a lighthearted example of David Spiegelhalter's public understanding work below, in a video produced by the University of Cambridge, and read his articles on Plus.
Helen Mason leads the Atomic Astrophysics group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. Helen Mason's extensive outreach and education work has included writing for Plus and setting up the Sun|Trek website for schools, as well as giving frequent talks and appearing on radio and TV.
Helen Mason's OBE has been awarded "for services to Higher Education and to Women in Science, Engineering and Technology". Learn more about her work in this video from the Royal Institution:

Today's Google doodle!
Oh Paul the psychic octopus… How we miss you and your uncannily accurate predictions of World Cup glory! And we aren't the only ones – Google is celebrating Paul in today's Google Doodle!
Paul, an English octopus then living in Germany, became world famous during the last World Cup when he picked the winner of all of Germany's seven matches, including their two defeats, and got the 2010 World Cup final correct too. Paul provided a welcome watery break between the matches, even though, as David Spiegelhalter's statistical analysis showed, he wasn't actually psychic after all.
Sadly, Paul can't help us predicting this year's World Cup – psychic or not. He died in October 2010 after living a full and happy octopus life. But you can read more about Paul's contribution to the 2010 World Cup in our article Understanding uncertainty: how psychic was Paul?.

We are the outcome of a process which took nearly 14 billion years during which atoms, stars, planets and biospheres emerged from a hot and dense big bang. The details of this process are sensitive to a few important numbers — the so-called constants of physics.
Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal, discussed the key stages in this process in the lecture below, given on 17 March 2014 as a public event during the Cambridge Science Festival, and linked to a conference on the philosophy of cosmology. The talk also addressed two questions: What would our cosmos be like if the key numbers were different? And could a huge variety of other universes exist as part of physical reality, each the aftermath of a different big bang?
Physicists are hard at work on these questions. In fact, just a couple of hours before Lord Rees gave this talk, US researchers announced a result that could signal a major breakthrough in our understanding of how our Universe evolved (see this Plus article). Watch out for the references to this in the lecture — good timing!

Cyclones Set Records, Fall To No. 1 OU
NORMAN, Okla. – Tori Torrescano walked for the 27th time this season on Sunday, a school record, as Iowa State (19-29, 4-11 Big 12) fell in its series finale at No. 1 Oklahoma (43-3, 11-1 Big 12), 12-0. With walks from Torrescano and Erica Miller in the contest, the 2013 Cyclones have walked more than any other team in program history.
Two innings after Torrescano's walk tied the team record for walks in a season, Miller led off the fourth with the record-breaking walk, the 149th of the Cyclones' season.
Jorden Spendlove was the third Cyclone to reach base against OU ace Keilani Ricketts, hit by a pitch in the top of the third, and was the only Cyclone to advance into scoring position, taking second on a passed ball by Sooner catcher Whitney Ellis.
The Sooners picked up seven runs on eight hits in the first inning against Taylor Smith (7-9), highlighted by RBI-doubles from Shelby Pendley and Lauren Chamberlain. Ricketts plated the final two runs against the Cyclone starter with a two-run home run in the second. Smith took the loss after one-plus innings of work, allowing nine runs on 10 hits while walking and striking out none.
After Ricketts' home run, OU loaded the bases against reliever Madison Jones, helped by an Iowa State error, for Chamberlain, who walked in the 10th Sooner run. A single by Georgia Casey scored the second unearned run of the inning for an 11-0 lead.
With two outs in the bottom of the fourth, OU crossed home for its final run with an RBI-single from Jessica Vest.
Ricketts (24-1) struck out 10 in five innings in the circle, walking two and hitting one but not allowing a hit or a run.
On Monday, the Cyclones host their make-up doubleheader with UMKC at 2 and 4 p.m. CDT at the Cyclone Sports Complex.

Ejim, Niang Powers ISU Over No. 22 Kansas State
AMES, Iowa – No. 16 Iowa State (15-3, 3-3 Big 12) held on to defeat No. 22 Kansas State (14-6, 4-3 Big 12), 81-75 Saturday afternoon in Hilton Coliseum.
Melvin Ejim had 20 points and Georges Niang chipped in with 18 points to propel the Cyclones to their fourth win over a ranked opponent this season. Ejim had nine boards and Dustin Hogue grabbed 12 boards in the win.
Both teams had the touch from long range in the early moments of the game. ISU led 23-18 with 11:08 left in the first half, as both squads combined for 9-of-11 shooting from downtown.
ISU made a 3-pointer on four-straight possessions midway through the opening period, including a pair from Matt Thomas to help the Cyclones take the early lead.
The Cyclones ended the half on a 12-2 run to take a 46-34 lead at the break. ISU went 8-of-11 from 3-point range behind a 4-of-4 effort from Thomas in the first stanza.
A sluggish start in the second half by the Cyclones quickly got the Wildcats right back in it. KSU opened the second period on a 16-4 run to knot the game at 50-50 with 12:47 left in the contest.
But the Cyclones bounced back with a 14-3 run to re-take a 64-53 lead with under seven minutes remaining. However, just a few minutes later, Will Spradling hit three 3-pointers in a matter of moments to tie the score at 66-66 with 4:41 left in the game.
Keys to the Game
Weathering The Storm. Twice during the game Iowa State held a double-digit lead only to have the Wildcats come back and tie the game. Both times, the Cyclones answered the bell.
When KSU tied the game at 66-66 with 4:41 left in the contest, Georges Niang hit a huge 3-pointer followed by a DeAndre Kane conventional 3-point play to put ISU back up by six points (72-66).

Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
Melvin Ejim The Cyclone senior posted another outstanding game with 20 points and nine boards. It was his 13th 20-point game of his career.
Ejim was his usual active self, but possibly the biggest play of the game was his block of Shane Southwell's 3-pointer with 0:31.2 seconds left with ISU clinging to a 76-73 lead.

Alternator Upgrades - High-output Alternator Tricks On The CheapWritten by Jeff Smith on August 16, 2011
It seems that the biggest growing segment of add-on performance parts for early muscle cars is electrical components. Electric fuel pumps, alternators, fans, megawatt stereos, and other amenities all gang up to place a heavy load on the charging system. In the '60s, most cars came with alternators that were more than capable at 40 to 60 amps of output when the biggest load was the defroster fan. Today, it doesn't take much more than a pair of 20-amp electric fans and an 8-amp fuel pump combined with a set of 10-amp headlights to put the hurt on that 60-amp alternator, especially at idle. What generally happens is the charging system voltage from the alternator at idle plummets below 12.4 volts, discharging the battery. Plus, none of these systems operates nearly as efficiently as it would if the voltage remained constant at around 14 volts. While Powermaster and many other companies offer performance alternators, there are plenty of suitable 100-plus-amp alternator dance partners just waiting for an invitation to a new life in your muscle car.
The earliest GM alternators were designated 10DN, employed an external voltage regulator up through early '70s cars, and were capable of around 60 amps max output. The first revision, called the 10Si, placed the voltage regulator internally, but the output remained low. The similar-appearing 12Si pushed output to 90 amps, but it was the move to the more compact CS130 version in the mid-'80s that bumped the output to 100-plus amps. The CS stands for charging system and the 130 is the alternator case dimension of 130 mm. The output curve on these newer alternators also improves low-speed charging instead of relying on increased engine speed to achieve maximum output. The CS130 was followed by the CS130D, which is nearly identical but uses a different, rounded plug-in harness. The CS130D designation remained with the introduction of the LS engines, but GM changed the mounting lug pattern, which unfortunately limits its interchangeability, even within LS engines. While the CS130 upgrade is the most powerful GM alternator and the one to look for, be aware that the lug spacing did change slightly from the standard 6.6-inch distance between the opposing lugs (common all the way back to the 10DN) to a slightly shorter 6.14 inches. This makes adapting the CS130 or CS130D alternators a bit of a challenge with brackets that triangulate the alternator. Using separate lower and upper brackets seems to help with conversions. The CS130 also uses an 8mmx1.25mm thread-pitch bolt in place of the original 5/16 NC fastener. Let's take a look at a few alternators we snagged in a recent yard excursion.

|140 or 150
|GM 10DN to 10Si

When searching for alternators in the boneyard, be wary of the lug spacing. The opposed pattern (left) is what you want. The CS130 on the right uses an offset lug pattern that won't work on V8 applications.Most CS130 alternators came on serpentine-belt applications. If you want to use a CS130 alternator with a V-belt pulley, the easiest way to remove the pulley is with an impact wrench, using gloves or a belt wrench to grip the pulley. Always lay the alternator horizontally to remove the pulley, as placing the alternator vertically could do internal damage. If you don't have an impact, the end of the shaft is broached for an Allen wrench. Position the Allen wrench on the bench as shown and loosen the 15⁄16-inch nut with a box-end wrench.With LS swaps now in vogue, one of the common trends is using the late-model CS130D alternators. The connector is usually labeled PLFS or PLIS. The only wire used is the L position, connected to the charge indicator light on the dash. Do not connect this directly to a switched 12-volt connection, as this will damage the alternator. If a warning light is not used, then you must install a 50- to 80-ohm, 5-watt resistor in series to a switched power source. We've seen connectors without the labels, in which case you'd use the third position counted from the large end of the connector. In the photo, you would connect the brown wire to the dash light.Here is a slightly different square-pin adapter from Painless for a CS130 alternator on which the L connector (white wire) should be connected to the gauge light with the S-terminal (red wire) connected directly to the battery-charge wire connection on the back of the alternator.In adapting a new alternator, the biggest hassle is often the wiring. Powermaster offers several adapters that create simple, plug-in connections between your wiring harness and the newer alternator.Once the alternator is bolted in place and charging, you can do a quick test of the charging system to ensure the charging harness is as efficient as your new alternator. With the engine running and the charging system working, read the voltage at the back of the alternator, then compare that with the voltage reading at the battery. If the voltage at the battery drops more than 0.40 volt, it's usually because the charging wire is too small or there is resistance in the circuit. Our CS130D-charged Orange Peel Chevelle measured an acceptable 0.15-volt difference.Powermaster tells us that loose V-belt tension is a common problem. An old or glazed belt will slip when expected to drive an alternator charging at 50 to 60 amps, yet it will not make any noise. To test belt tension, place a socket and breaker bar on the alternator nut and turn the alternator clockwise. The belt is the correct tension when the pulley attempts to turn the engine. Why is that important? Because your alternator cranking out 100 amps at 14.5 volts equals 1,450 watts, which converts to 1.94 hp. That means it's going to take at least 2 hp to drive that alternator through the belt.Back in the Nov. '09 issue ("Budget Serpentine Drive," pg. 42) we detailed how to convert a V-belt accessory drive to a serpentine system using junkyard parts. The main criteria are the accessory boltholes in the cylinder heads. In our story, the entire serpentine system came from an '80s and early-'90s 4.3L V6 or TBI 305 or 350 truck. We replaced the A/C compressor with a Dorman idler pulley from Rock Auto.Above right: The item that usually fails on alternators is the drive end bearing. The quick test is to spin the alternator. If it growls, the bearings are most likely bad. You could rebuild it with new bearings, but you'll need the correct external Torx fastener socket. Buy a used alternator ($25.00), the tools ($30.00), and new bearings ($27.00), and you will have as much invested as the cost of a rebuilt alternator from Rock Auto. A rebuilt CS130 from Rock Auto can be found for $80.00 without a core charge, but remember there are shipping charges.

Michael Milligan is serving time for crimes in Adams County, Lakewood and Denver. He was denied parole this summer. But based on Colorado statute, he is still eligible for community corrections.
One of his victims, who asked to be called Rachel, believes Milligan should serve the rest of his 70 year term.
"It was April of 1983," she recalled. "I woke up because I couldn't breathe. There was a gentleman on top of me with a knife at my throat and said that I was going to be raped."
Rachel said Milligan didn't rape her; he fondled her and made her touch him. Lakewood police later determined he was her attacker.
"[I] tried to listen to the sound of his voice and the smell of his hands so that I could tell the police what had happened to me," Rachel said.
The events of that night traumatized the then 23-year-old. She took a shower and washed the sheets, destroying the evidence. Milligan was never convicted for her attack. But in 1984, he went to prison, convicted of four burglaries, three sexual assaults and one forgery.
Rachel fought Milligan's parole, as did Denver and Adams County District Attorney's offices, by writing to the parole board.
Recently, Rachel learned Milligan is going to have a hearing about his release to community corrections. He has four tries, or four hearings, he could ask for. If one county denies him, he could apply to another. A board in each county determines if an inmate will be admitted into the community corrections facility there.
"He doesn't deserve to go to a half-way house," Rachel said. "He hasn't tried to help himself while he was in prison, other than right before his parole."
Rachel is talking about the anger management and sexual assault classes she was told by Colorado Department of Corrections Milligan took in 2010.
DOC spokesperson couldn't confirm if Milligan took those classes, saying it was against the rules. But the DOC did say Milligan has taken multiple training courses including custodial training, maintenance and food service over the 28 years he has been incarcerated.
Milligan has had a few minor violations behind bars, but has not been written up since 2002, according to DOC records.
Doctor Evan Crist runs two community corrections programs, including "Time to Change," in Adams County. Time to Change does not accept sex offenders.
Christ says he believes in his work. He says his program helps the community overall. He said 96 percent of inmates eventually are released. They need tools to be able to live in the community and a community corrections program, or halfway house, is the way to go, Crist said.
"Right now about 80 percent of the clients are at work," he told 9NEWS on a recent tour of the Commerce City facility he runs.
"We have to know exactly when they're going to be. All clients are required to work, some of them go to school as well," he said. "This is about trying to help another person change their life, because it's better for society."
Crist said he understood where victims like Rachel were coming from, but even if an offender is denied parole, community corrections is the next step.
"I think it's the logical way to transition people back so they have the greatest chance of being successful, and successful means they're not committing new crimes," Crist said.
According to Crist, parole does not offer enough supervision, although it fits some inmates. If people go through community corrections, it cuts down on recidivism in half.
Joe Cannata runs Voices of Victims.
"The system tends to re-victimize the victims because you end up going to so many hearings," Cannata said.
Cannata said some of the programs offered in community corrections are not available in prison.
"The perfect system would be all sentences you do prison time, then eventually in community corrections, then ankle bracelet then parole. That would be an ideal system," he said.
Milligan has four tries or hearings to try to get into a half way house.
Rachel intends to fight it all the way.
"I could see him easily getting out and violation a whole new generation of women that weren't even born when he was doing this the first time," she said.

"Within the world of the employers I deal with, this is one of the least of their worries and the least of their expenses," says Randall Abbott, a senior consultant for Watson Wyatt Worldwide.
But those headaches and related bills may swell considerably, depending upon layoff trends and the outcome of emerging legislative proposals, according to Abbott and other experts.
Several proposals before Congress are intended to subsidize the cost for laid-off employees of extending employer health care under COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). If the sticker shock of extending employer health coverage is eased, more newly laid-off employees will enroll and remain on COBRA for a longer stretch, says Jon Attwooll, a product manager who oversees COBRA administration at Ceridian Corp., a provider of human resources outsourcing.
"I think the stereotype of the sick employee [choosing COBRA] goes away or is definitely diluted," Attwooll says. "There may be a much larger population of people taking COBRA so they can sleep at night."
One of the more controversial provisions of the bill would create an option for people 55 and older as well as those who have worked for the same employer for 10 years or more to retain health benefits under COBRA, at their own expense, until they become eligible for Medicare at 65 or obtain coverage through another job. Employers have opposed that provision, warning that any measures beyond temporary governmental subsidies would place onerous financial burdens on employers and their employees.
Democrats are hoping to deliver a final economic stimulus bill for President Barack Obama to sign by February 16.
Regardless of what happens on the federal level, employers should prepare for a new breed of COBRA enrollees if layoffs persist, experts say. Even costly coverage may look enticing, when the prospects of immediately landing another job appear dim, they say.
Financial analysts, lawyers and other professionals who have recently joined the ranks of the unemployed may not only be willing to foot the bill, but may be more aggressive about protecting their COBRA-related rights, says Timothy Stanton, an employee benefits attorney at Ogletree Deakins, a national labor and employment law firm. "They are more likely to know the system and be more comfortable pursuing extra phone calls and calling state agencies."Absorbing the costs
Under the federal law, employers are barred from charging more than 102 percent of the insurance premium, including a 2 percent administrative fee. But that price tag can seem exorbitant to former employees, who have grown accustomed to their employers subsidizing the premium. Nationally, the average monthly premium for family coverage constitutes nearly 84 percent of the average unemployment check, according to an analysis published in January by the consumer health organization Families USA. That is why a key element of the economic stimulus bill is to help subsidize the cost of extending employer coverage.
Subsidies that make it easier for people to stay on an employer's health plan could make employers financially vulnerable. In 2006, medical bills for COBRA employees averaged about 45 percent higher than for active employees—$9,914 annually compared with $6,831—according to the most recent survey by Spencer's Benefits Reports, one of the few ongoing efforts to capture COBRA costs.
As the months accumulate, employers carrying laid-off workers on their group health plans stand to lose more and more money, says Paul Fronstin, a senior research associate at the nonprofit Employee Benefit Research Institute in Washington. Presumably, those enrollees who stay on COBRA the longest tend to require more health services, he says. "Otherwise, why would they stay on longer?"
Subsidizing the COBRA premium, either directly or through a tax deduction, will likely boost enrollment rates, Fronstin predicts. But the current higher medical costs for COBRA enrollees might be offset, to some extent, by encouraging more healthy people to sign up, he says.
Those with existing medical conditions are not the only group to typically ante up, if they can foot the premium, Attwooll says. The other enrollees, he says, simply "want the insurance just because they want to sleep at night."
From November to December 2008, Ceridian tracked a 17 percent increase in the number of people who became COBRA-eligible, Attwooll says. But it's unclear how much of that upward trend can be attributed to mounting layoffs, an increase in Ceridian's total client roster or some other trend, he says.A COBRA snapshot
Despite the current legislative focus on COBRA, there's surprisingly little known about the population using it, including how many people are enrolled.
More than a decade ago, Fronstin used census data to estimate that roughly 5 million people had used COBRA at some point during a 12-month stretch. But Fronstin couldn't point to any more recent data. Neither could Stephen Huth, managing editor of Spencer's Benefit Reports. It's difficult to "track a moving number," Huth says, given that people are coming on and off COBRA at any given time.
Under COBRA, employees typically can't extend their former employer's coverage for longer than 18 months after they leave the job. The federal law, which applies only to employers with 20 or more workers, offers longer coverage in other circumstances, such as in cases of disability. In reality, the average COBRA stint is far shorter, averaging eight months in 2006, according to Spencer's survey.
But how many people actually sign up? Nearly 27 percent enrolled in 2006, according to Spencer's survey, which involves nearly 442,000 employees. Previous surveys by Spencer's, dating back to the mid-1990s, identified an enrollment rate closer to 20 percent. But two other recent analyses indicate that the election rate may be significantly lower.
Ceridian's own data for 2008 showed a 10 percent enrollment rate, one that remained steady throughout the year. Attwooll says that figure likely represents a more precise snapshot, given Ceridian's access to data involving millions of people. In late January, the Commonwealth Fund published a similar figure, saying an analysis conducted for the private health policy foundation determined that 9 percent of those eligible actually enrolled.
These baseline numbers are relevant as the pros and cons of various legislative proposals are weighed, according to COBRA experts.Managing the logistics
To ease the daily logistics involved with COBRA, most large companies outsource administration of the federal law, Abbott says. Based on 30-plus years of experience, Abbott estimates that less than 20 percent of large employers handle the legal requirements, paperwork and related employee questions internally.
Even if COBRA administration is outsourced, human resources leaders should still verify that state COBRA requirements are being followed, Stanton says. If the company's health plan isn't self-insured, it must comply with state COBRA requirements that may be more generous than the federal law. Those state details can be challenging to track for companies that operate in many states, Stanton says.
He notes that employers should stay ahead of the curve, particularly given the education and savvy of some of today's laid-off workforce.
"I think as more and more people are out of work and don't have immediate prospects of another job, there are only so many places they can turn to find health coverage," Stanton says. "I think people are more likely to look into their rights as far as they can."

Story by Taylor Weik.
Yoko Ono, Japanese artist, peace activist and widow of Beatle John Lennon, wrote a letter to the Japanese fishermen of Taiji, who on Tuesday continued their controversial annual capture-and-kill of bottlenose dolphins.
Taiji, a rural whaling town in Japan, has been the focus of controversy recently for their infamous annual dolphin drive hunt, which takes place every year from September to April. Drive hunting involves corralling dolphins into coves, where they can be cornered and trapped, or killed. The practice has been highlighted in the 2009 Oscar-nominated documentary "The Cove," which depicts graphic scenes of slowly dying dolphins and blood-stained ships and waters.
250 dolphins were driven into Taiji's "killing cove" on Thursday, where they spent four days in a selection process. 52 dolphins were sold to marine parks and aquariums, while 40 more were slaughtered and sold to butchers. It is unclear what the fishermen plan to do with the rest of the corralled dolphins.
Ono voiced her opposition in a letter addressed to the Taiji fishermen on her website she shared with Lennon, Imagine Peace. In the letter, she pleads for the fishermen to think of the reputation of their country, and how killing dolphins will only portray Japan as a country of violence.
"I am sure that it is not easy, but please consider the safety of the future of Japan, surrounded by many powerful countries which are always looking for the chance to weaken the power of our country," Ono writes. "The future of Japan and its safety depends on many situations, but what you do with Dolphins now can create a very bad relationship with the whole world."
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga defended the practice during a news conference in Tokyo, stating that dolphin fishing "is a form of traditional fishing in our country."

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- These days it seems children get everything they want, from video game systems to lip gloss.
Some parents say their children don't appreciate how much money it costs to give them all of their heart's desires.
One fed up mom decided to change the way her children view money by making them get a job.
Of course it wasn't a 9-5, but it wasn't your everyday chores, like making the bed or taking out the trash.
It was career based, built for children.
Alisa Weinstein, author of "Earn It and Learn It" is now sharing her "Earn My Keep" allowance program with other parents.
Weinstein joined 9NEWS NOW's Mike Hydeck to talk about how this helps children learn to save and help adults remember to have fun with money.

Just want to know if anyone has had the problem we've been experiencing after the 6.0.5 update.
Basically we have had users reporting that emails are being delivered to the wrong people. This only happens internally.
After looking at the sent email you can see that the name of the person they sent to was correct, but if you look at the properties of the outlook contact, they show a completely different contact. This is quite concerning.
We have updated to the latest version 6.0.7 and are still seeing the problems.

After our many years in the wonderful business of whisky purveyance, it's not often that we come across something that really takes us aback. Today, however, we have the rare honour of announcing a distilling phenomenon hitherto unknown: A heady blend of spirit and science, seasoned with a shake of quackery and a dose of credulity...

Qwest's stock traded as high as $64 in 2000 before plummeting in 2002 to less than $1 because of a multiyear accounting fraud. The SEC and DOJ probe was prompted by a whistleblower letter. CEO Joseph Nacchio forfeited $44 million for insider trading and went to jail. A class action settlement added $400 million to the pot but investors got back pennies on the dollar.

Mike Montgomery wins Double-A debut
The Royals have had a pair of pitchers by the name of Montgomery over the years…Monty Montgomery was drafted by K.C. in 1968 and pitched in the big leagues from 1971-72. Jeff Montgomery recorded 304 saves on his way to the Royals Hall of Fame. A third Monty has taken another step on the road to Kansas City.
Mike Montgomery made his official Double-A debut today for NW Arkansas (his first start ended in a rainout). While he walked four, Monty struck out eight and held Springfield to a pair of hits and a run over 5.2 IP. He picked up the win in a 3-1 game, the sixth straight overall for NW Arkansas. Mike was promoted to NW Arkansas after a sizzling start to the year – he earned Carolina League Pitcher of the Week honors in each of the first two weeks. Thank you to the Naturals for sending this photo from today's game!

These are the addresses we use most. The best starting address is Cecil Solomon's Gamemaster's Apprentice site at:
This is basically the successor to the dead gmsparlor.com and gmssyndicate sites recommended in earlier postings. The main item is the huge CSUAC collection in separate versions for FM8, Dundjinni and CC3, but after that also look at the site's art packs. Everything is free, but to get to it, you have to register (free) as a user.
Our next stop is Jeff Albert's (screen name Steel Rat) huge RPG Map Share site at:
There you also will find thousands of free symbols (objects) and fills (textures) in the categories fantasy, modern and sci-fi.
From there we go to Greg Taylor's (screen name Greytale) site:
Where you'll find a large collection of free symbols (objects) and fills (textures) made by some of the most accomplished cartographers in the Dundjinni community.
And then there are the Dundjinni user forums at:
Where you also can download a huge number of free symbols and fills in the categories fantasy, modern and sci-fi. Heads up, however! Microsoft's Internet Explore will download these symbols and fills as BMP files, which makes them useless if they have transparent elements. Firefox downloads them correctly.
Our Vintyri website also has several hundred free symbols and fills available in FM8 and Dundjinni resolutions. The address: http://www.vintyri.com .
FM8 USERS: The CSUAC and Vintyri symbols and fills all are scaled correctly for FM8. All of the other symbols mentioned above are in standard Dundjinni resolution. In every FM8 non-Vintyri and non-CSUAC folder where you save these symbols, you need to add an XML file to set the correct FM8 resolution. To do that:
1. Open the Windows Notebook (Windows Editor in some non-English language versions.)
2. Write or copy the following code for folders containing non-CSUAC and non-Vintyri symbols:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<pixel size='0.025' unit='Feet'/>
3. After you've copied or typed that in, save the file with the name default.xml.
This step is not necessary with CSUAC or Vintyri symbols if you install them according to instructions. Both then automatically will be unzipped into folders that already contain the correct XML file.
CC3 USERS: If you use CC3, you should use the program's built-in tools to make variants of the non-CSUAC symbols in the proper resolutions. If you want to convert the Vintyri symbols for CC3, you'll get the best results by downloading the Dundjinni versions and converting them. If you search the CC3 mailing list, you should find Ralf Schemmenn's instructions there on how to do that.
If you take symbols from these sites, then make some symbols of your own and post them on these sites. That's what makes the symbol, fill and map sharing system work. If you take without giving, the system eventually will fail.

Dear World: Meet your new tall, dark and bendy No. 1 Novak Djokovic!
After the disappointment in Paris where he lost out on a chance to grab the top ranking from Rafael Nadal the Serb finally made good on the green grass of Wimbledon. He defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6(4), 6-2, 6-7(9), 6-3 and earned the right to officially call himself the best. And I say 'officially' because he's been the playing like the best baller around all year long but as we all know it's never yours until it's actually yours.
Interestingly, even though he came into this fortnight with only a single loss under his Sergio Tacchini belt his storyline seemed to take a backseat to that of Rafa and Roger Federer after their brilliant French Open fight. His relative lack of success on the slick stuff didn't help either and brought up questions about his chances of achieving the feat here. But he's gone about the business of winning matches and when it came time to put up or shut up today, he answered emphatically. I mean, pointy fingers don't lie:
Afterward, he talked about the importance of the moment in his post-match presser:
"It's definitely one of the most important achievements and days in my life, in my career. We are all dedicated to this sport 100 percent. When you know you're going to be the best in the world and you're reaching the finals of your favorite tournament, it's something special…Both [Nadal and Federer] are incredibly consistent with their success and so dominant the last couple years. They don't give you a lot of chances to become No. 1. So I guess you need to lose only one match in seven months to get there. If you can do that, then well done…I think every child has a dream to become something in his life. We live for those dreams. We were going through some really difficult periods. You know, our country had wars and stuff. So it wasn't easy to hold that desire and really believe in yourself. But I always did."There's something truly special about earning the top spot by winning the big match rather than getting it because someone lost; it's a mental thing in the best way possible. Nole obviously learned something important from his disappointing loss to Fed at Roland Garros and wasn't interested in repeating the same scenario this time around. And he didn't.
The tournament, though, is not over by any stretch. Nole will face defending champ Rafa in the final on Sunday. Will he have enough left, emotionally, to defeat the Spaniard for the fifth consecutive time this year and win his first Wimby Championship? I guess we'll all find out in two days time.

first of all thank you for v4.0 its really great and there are a lot little features that imporve everyday working.
Just two questions about using active sync.
Syncing mail doesnt work for my inbox (it syncs with choosen subfolders of my inbox, but not with the inbox itself). Has anyone seen this and got an idea why this happens. Its the 4.0 version and its a german version if this matters.
The second one is, is it possible to sync all calendars? I have four different calendars and currently just the one named Calendar is getting synchronized.
Does anyone has an idea about this?
When do you come up with a new roadmap?
I like to suggest for it:
Birthday integration
Pictures for Contacts
apply filter on existing folders
sync multiple calendars
possibility to move wiki-entries from one folder to another
task-lists (as in WM5) and sync of the tasks
and last but not least (:-) ) a Calvin and Hobbes Comic Zimlet

I noticed that each night after the logrotate cronjob has run, the (new) myslow logfiles are not filled anymore (i.e stay at 0 length). Also sometimes the logswatch process seems to stop functioning after the nightly logrotate (which causes a loss of mta/spam/virus statistics).
A manual stop and start of the logger is needed to fix this.
Looking at /etc/logrotate.d/zimbra, it seems that a kill -HUP of logswatch is done after rotating zimbra.log, but that appearantly is not always enough.
Is this a know bug in 3.1; is there a fix / workaround ?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Holliday hit a two-run homer and pinch-hitter Shane Robinson added a solo shot as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Dodgers 4-2 in Los Angeles to take a three-games-to-one lead in the National League Championship Series.
Holliday had been 0-for-12 in the series and hitless in his previous 22 at-bats at Dodger Stadium before his homer put the Cardinals ahead 3-0 in the third inning.
Winning pitcher Lance Lynn allowed two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings to help the Cardinals get within one victory of their fourth World Series appearance in 10 season.
The Boston Red Sox have a 2-1 lead in the American League Championship Series after John Lackey pitched into the seventh and Mike Napoli homered in a 1-0 win over the Tigers in Detroit.
Lackey held the Tigers to four hits while striking out eight in 6 2/3 innings, but he needed Napoli's seventh-inning blast in order to pick up the win.
Napoli's home run came off Justin Verlander, who allowed just three other hits while fanning 10 in eight innings.

The King's Speech (2010)
The King's Speech Synopsis
After the death of his father King George V (Michael Gambon) and the scandalous abdication of King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), Bertie (Colin Firth) who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life, is suddenly crowned King George VI of England. With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), the future Queen Mother, arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). After a rough start, the two delve into an unorthodox course of treatment and eventually form an unbreakable bond. With the support of Logue, his family, his government and Winston Churchill (Timothy Spall), the King will overcome his stammer and deliver a radio-address that inspires his people and unites them in battle.
Based on the true story of King George VI, The King's Speech follows the Royal Monarch's quest to find his voice.

good start whtknt, the edges are a bit blurry and the space between tiles a bit big if it's supposes to be 5 feet a square Depending on the look you're going for, a drop shadow from the walls could give some depth to the map
I decided to try my hand at a battlemap using Photoshop CS, and this is the result. This is the first time I have tried such a thing freehand and I'm rather pleased with the result, even if it could use some retouching. This took about 30 minutes.

Thanks! I realize the edges were a bit blurred; I did that with a Gaussian blur intentionally in hopes of making the walls look a little more natural. I hadn't considered a drop-shadow; that may well be the way to go. The space between the tiles comes from the size of the airbrush I used when tracing the grid lines. I was hoping for a mortar-like effect and even had some greenish mold in there, but it got lost in the black. I'll try another one later.
@Jaxilon: Yep, that's exactly the effect I wanted. Thanks for noticing!

One Industries Enemy Knee Guard $0.00
Once bulky items that bounced around and limited smooth pedaling, knee guards like One Industries Enemy have forever changed that reputation. It's a lightweight, low profile piece of protective gear constructed from materials that comfortably hold it in place, yet offer excellent protection.
A removable polypropylene insert is tough to resist sharp rocks and repeated impacts, while EVA foam absorbs the force of the blow. A preformed, articulated chassis works with two wide, elastic hook-and-loop bands to securely hold the Enemy Knee Guard in place without cutting off circulation. The bands and panels are constructed from perforated neoprene for breathability.
The neoprene also permits excellent flexibility and stretch for unrestricted pedaling. Finally, the insert and EVA foam are covered with ballistic nylon to keep the Enemy from becoming dumpster food after a digger. The One Industries Enemy Knee Guard comes in Black sizes Small through X-Large.

Hi All,
Down to my last 20 days of a Zimbra trail, and have hit a snag
My problem is this; I currently use an external openldap server for all my email addresses and auth of the users, but I need to add multiple email addresses to some uses. No problem here, as I just add another entry for email and enter the new email address. Sounds simple, yes that however is not the problem.
The problem is, when a user opens the GAL to sent an email to that person, they can not select the new email address.
As you can see from my screenshot, I have two email addresses for this person, but I cant select which one to send it to. What is going to happen I want to list all the emaill addresses for each user who is on a different domain on the one server, as I understand you cant read an internal and external GAL together, so I would list all the email addresses in my primary extrernal LDAP server to get around this problem.
So does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to get around this issue ?

RNAi Is Working on Tactics to...
Traditional Tissue Biopsies Are Not Providing...
The World Vaccines Market Is Predicted...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
Contract developer and manufacturer Patheon has agreed to pay $255 million to buy Belgian firm Vion's Banner Pharmacaps, a specialty pharma business focused on the gelatin-based dosage forms. Banner has developed softgel formulations for OTC, prescription, and nutritional products, and operates four manufacturing facilities.
Vion claims selling off the Banner business will allow it to focus on its core food and ingredients business, while Patheon says taking on the firm will provide it with enhanced capabilities in oral dosage technologies. "The acquisition of Banner advances our strategic plan put in place in 2011, fully aligning with Patheon's intent to be the leader in oral dosage development and manufacturing services," states James C. Mullen, CEO. "The transaction provides us with a well-balanced portfolio of proprietary products, state-of-the-art facilities with enhanced capabilities, as well as an expanded geographical presence."
With some 4,000 employees globally, drug development, and manufacturing services firm Patheon operates nine manufacturing facilities and nine development centers across North America and Europe. The firm reported total revenues of $203.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, up 18% on the equivalent period in 2011. Commercial manufacturing revenues for the third quarter were up 21.3% at $168.3 million, and pharmaceutical development service revenues for the third quarter increased 4.1% to $35.4 million.
