State Fact Sheet
Public Safety in Kentucky
After reforming its criminal justice system in 2011, Kentucky passed comprehensive juvenile justice legislation in 2014 based on recommendations from a bipartisan, interbranch task force. The law strengthens evidence-based programs while restricting the commitment of lower-level offenders and duration of out-of-home placement. The reforms are expected to reduce the Department of Juvenile Justice's out-of-home population by more than one-third and save Kentucky taxpayers as much as $24 million over five years—money that can be reinvested in needed community programs.
"We can no longer pour money into a system that produces such disappointing results for taxpayers and for our young people."state Sen. Whitney Westerfield (R)
In 2011, the Public Safety and Offender Accountability Act implemented a broad series of criminal justice reforms. The legislation was passed in the Senate unanimously and in the House by a vote of 96 to 1 before being signed by Governor Steve Beshear. The law ensured more prison space for violent and career criminals while helping to stop the revolving door for lower-risk, nonviolent offenders. The reforms are expected to save the state $422 million over 10 years. A portion of the savings will be used in efforts to reduce recidivism, including stronger programs for probation, parole, and substance abuse.

I need some help here, I have a 1966 Buick Skylark with the 310 wildcat in it and I want more performance out of it. I would like to find some performance intake manifold and some headers on it for some more hp and torque. If anybody can help please tell me. I would greatly appreciate it!! P.S. Ricers Suck.
Hi, welcome to the forum!We prefer not to discuss ricers here because we all know they suck, even the ricers (who don't admit to being ricers) The Buicks in the 60s had the engine's torque rating on the air filter, so that's what the 310 means. The engine is really a 300 cubic inch V8, the one with the 2bbl carb. There isn't much available for these little Buick engines, they had a short existence in the mid 60s. Not much interchanged with them, some parts are the same on the earlier 215 and some on it's big brother the 340, but not much. The 215 was made from 61-63, the 300 from 64-67, and the 340 from 66-67.
Offenhauser & Edelbrock make intakes for 215's, cuz I see them on TR8's [which use a version of the 215], and I think they're in the same family as the 300. Cams are available too. Headers? Ugh. That could be a problem. Either find a set from another chassis, but the same engine[s], or make a set. Even a set of shorty's would probably be better than stock.Try TA performance; Purveyors of hi-po Buick bits. http://www.taperformance.com/Or perhaps Poston http://www.postonbuick.com/
"Be happy in your work."
According to this http://www.taperformance.com/newpage1.htm 215's, 300's and 340's are all first generation Buick small blocks. Do the intakes interchange? I've seen sites that say yes, and some that say no.Apparently though, aluminum intakes [factory ones] aren't hard to come by. http://www.teambuick.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-8062.htmlThe only thing I can think of is that the deck height on a 300 may be taller than a 215.http://www.classicbuicks.com/http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tech/BuickHeiConversions.htm

Very good. It answered a question I had; You can not use the intake from a 215 on a 300 or 340. It seems they have different deck heights, so the cylinder heads are physically farther away from each other. Bummer. I suppose if you were desperate, you could fab up some sort of spacers.http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=80491&highlight=interchangeOf interest: http://www.teambuick.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-8095.html

Experimental Evolution of Gene Duplicates in a Bacterial Plasmid Model

The fate of gene duplicates subjected to diversifying selection was tested experimentally in a bacterial system. The wild-type TEM-1 β-lactamase gene confers resistance to ampicillin but not to cefotaxime. Point mutations confer cefotaxime resistance, but they compromise ampicillin resistance. Thus, selection for both drug resistances in a bacterium with two copies of β-lactamase should favor the divergence of one copy to improve cefotaxime resistance while maintaining the other copy to preserve ampicillin resistance. This selection was performed on a bacterium with identical sequences of β-lactamase on two separate, compatible plasmids. As expected, one plasmid evolved increased cefotaxime resistance when appropriately strong cefotaxime selection was applied. However, the cefotaxime-resistant plasmid maintained sufficient ampicillin resistance to tolerate the concentration of ampicillin used, and the other plasmid was lost. Hosts carrying both the cefotaxime-resistant and wild-type plasmids were then subjected to various higher concentrations of both drugs to find conditions that would ensure the maintenance of both plasmids. In a striking contradiction to our model, no such conditions were found. The fitness cost of carrying both plasmids increased dramatically as antibiotic levels were raised, and either the wild-type plasmid was lost or the cells did not grow. This study highlights the importance of the cost of duplicate genes and the quantitative nature of the tradeoff in the evolution of gene duplication through functional divergence.

JP Morgan Downgrades Arkansas Best to 'Underweight'
JP Morgan downgraded Arkansas Best (ABFS ) to "underweight," from "overweight."
Analyst Gregory Burns downgraded the trucking company on the view that it may be losing market share to non-union competitors Overnite and Old Dominion Freight. He notes the company's fourth-quarter earnings per share was below his 58 cents estimate, as tonnage growth was lighter-than-expected -- leading to a revenue increase of just 1.5%, vs. his 7.8% estimate.
Burns cut the $2.80 2004 earnings per share estimate to $2.40, and cut the $3.15 2005 estimat to $2.80. He cited lower tonnage, lower revenue assumptions, and a more modest improvement in operating ratio. Given the fixed cost leverage in the less-than-truckload model, Burns says he's concerned that Arkansas Best may not be fully participating in a cyclical revenue upturn.

Clutch it... slide into 1st gear
Put the accelerator on the floor till the rev limiter start going off at about 7K
then... while still rolling backwards.....Don't lift your foot off the clutch - that can slow the process down.... you sidestep the clutch and let the natural spring return of the clutch lift itself.
But seriously... I really don';t feel the need to hold steady at a high RPM to launch.... I'll rev the motor up and down, and I'll time the "increase" in RPM with the release of the clutch... very little stress on the gears.
I can consistently his 1.7 60 ft times as well.... without shocking the tranny at all.
Watch my track racing video in my signature... I was pretty proud of that launch.

Rajesh Agarwal, Head of Research at Eastern Financiers Limited told CNBC-TV18, "Muthoot Finance has seen an uptake in the recent past just because of gold prices going up, but the business model still remains dicey. I would not suggest anybody to hold this stock for a longer term horizon, maybe a trading stock giving trading opportunities, but fundamentally there is nothing to stay in this stock."
He further added, "On valuation parameter it is trading at a PE of around 6. We get a lot of PSU banks which are trading at a PE of less than 4-5, so it is better to switch from Muthoot Finance to some PSU banking stocks like Andhra Bank, Dena Bank, Syndicate Bank which are trading at a valuation which is much lower than Muthoot Finance. They give good dividends and even business model if one compares banking stocks with Muthoot Finance - it is far better. I would suggest a switch from Muthoot Finance to some of the PSU banks."

The emotional husband of a woman bashed in her Altona bookshop earlier this year for less than $200 has called for his wife's attacker to hand themselves in.
Michael Overend said the attacker was clearly "not in the right frame of mind" to attack 61-year-old Jillian Brookes on July 20, as police called for public assistance to identify a man wearing overalls seen near the store on the day of the assault.
Ms Brookes' skull was crushed and her brain was severely damaged. She is now learning to walk again.
Detective Senior Constable Matt Noonan, from the Hobsons Bay Criminal Investigation Unit, said police were seeking a man seen near the shop, in the Harrington Square shopping strip, wearing a distinctive khaki bib-and-brace overalls and a checkered flannelette shirt.
He said the man, described as caucasian and of medium build, was a witness "at this stage" and may have "important information".
Police also want the driver of a white truck seen behind the store in a laneway about 4pm, or anyone with information about the truck, to come forward.
Detective Senior Constable Noonan said the man and truck were separate pieces of information and police did not believe they were connected.
"[This is] a disgusting attack on an elderly female in her store that wasn't warranted. It's unexplainable at this point," he said.
Mr Overend said his partner could not speak and was being fed through a tube.
"The damage that was done to her brain is extensive and no one ... can tell us how long it's going to take or how well she will get," he said.
"If anyone has any information whatsoever about this situation, please contact the police.
"It's important that these sorts of crime get solved and if the person or persons who have perpetrated this crime have any remorse for what they've done, please contact the police because it's in their benefit as well as the society's benefit that these sorts of issues don't happen again."
Mr Overend said the injuries Ms Brookes sustained could not have been inflected by a single blow.
"It had to be a frenzied attack with a very heavy metal object," he said. "For a 61-year-old woman, they didn't need to do that.
"They could have taken the money and gone without doing what they did to her. There was no necessity for it whatsoever, other than them not being in the right frame of mind. ... It's not worth a person's life, especially a 61-year-old woman who could hardly defend herself.
"I just urge anyone with any information whatsoever, please come forward because the person who did this could not have been in a rational state of mind when they did it.
"The damage they have done to my wife was not just one blow, it was a frenzied attack. They need help and if they do it again, the next victim may not be anywhere near as lucky as Jillian."
Mr Overend said Ms Brookes' right hand "was smashed because she was trying to defend herself. That was the best she could do".
He plans on selling the shop after it is cleared.
Anyone with information is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Silk Eye Shades Finished With A Silk Encased Elastic For A Smooth And Comfortable Rest
You won't find silk eye shades like ours anywhere else in the world.
Silk, which is made up of proteins similar to human skin, fibroin and serecin, is the most comfortable fibre against skin. Our eye shades are completely enveloped in silk making them delightful for meditations, afternoon siestas, Sunday morning sleep ins and sun bathing.
At the rear we have enveloped the elastic in silk and in the front mask we have lined the silk with South Australian felted wool which has the effect of further reducing light from penetrating and giving a soft padded feel against your face.
You will love our silk eye shades and whether on a flight, by a beach, laying in bed or in an airport lounge, you will find any excuse to put them on.
Whatever ensemble you are wearing and don't forget, our customers often find when travelling that they make excellent pocket squares for their jackets!

The Sims Medieval - Review @ IGN and GamePro
View Single Post
March 28th, 2011, 19:13
I'm into it about 20-25 hours. This is a kingdom sim as much as individual character sims, and what type and how your characters are determines your kingdom's aspects which in turn influences how your characters live. So yeah, it definitely feels like a "monarch rpg" in a way as your burgeoning kingdom grows w/ the development of the kingdom aspects. Each sim lives the fantasy rpg archetype lifestyle as well, and uses new abilities that they acquire as they level up. Lots of crafting, etc has me considering it more of an RPG than some action-rpgs that are considered so without question.
As I mentioned, your kingdom is rated in certain aspects like "security" which develop over time according to what building you place and in turn the heroes you hire. For instance, I unfortunately didnt create a "knight" early on, so my security rating is severely lacking. As such, there's random muggers and criminals
all over my kingdom
and it can be difficult if not impossible to simply get my sims to their quests, market, etc without facing some gnarly and potentially fatal fights. Using my spy character, I can craft healing potions w/ the herbs she can gather, and that helps (unfortunately after a fight when she's suffering a 'grievous wound' or something of that nature that has her limping around, a potential victim..) I've also leveled my blacksmith a bit w/ his personal quests, so he can make some better weapons and armor, thus helping my cause further. My new knight is very low level at this point, so he cant take on much yet, but I have him training and hopefully will be up to speed soon enough.
The good side to there being a high crime rate is that as my spy lurks around, I can have her rob people without much resistance from the law (a lower rating seems to affect overall enforcement of crime even in relation to sim behavior). If she gets caught and thrown in the stocks, she can pick the lock and escape after a certain number of levels.
Yes, there is magic in the game as well.
SO yeah, i feel it's "RPG enough" for coverage.

"A PERFECT escape from the hustle & bustle!"
I stayed at The Lotus Terraces, Lotus Beach Pool Villa for 5 days and it's pretty difficult to describe my experience in words because you really need to immerse yourself there to really experience what I can only describe as one of the most relaxing holidays I've ever had in my life. Let me break it down for you:- 1. SERVICE:- I've stayed in a fair share of villas & resorts in my life and I have to say that I really enjoyed the incredibly bespoke & personalized service from all the staff who were all fantastic and extremely hospitable towards our needs(From running out to grab ice cubes for us when we ran out of it TO constantly getting us new towels when we were in the pool or at the beach. We were constantly running around and I'm surprised we never ran out of this). Also, upon arriving through the entrance you are ALWAYS greeted with a warm smile and sometimes a personalized conversation or two which had a lovely family feel to it, which made me see it more like a 'home away from home' rather than just a villa we were staying in. ✮Highlight for me was the private Thai Chef who made us freshly prepared dishes. Being a MASSIVE Thai food fan, not only was I blown away by how quick he cooked but he was able to work according to everyones food allergies/needs AND whip out one of the best Thai food I have ever had - Flavoursome BUT light and not greasy! I highly recommend the Tom Yum soup. 2. SLEEP QUALITY- Before my trip I had a lot of sleeping problems and it doesn't help that I am an extremely light sleeper either. To say that the beds were JUST comfortable is not enough to describe it because for the first time in ages I never needed to get up in the middle of the night and was able to sleep until the alarm woke me up. THAT for me is simply a sign of a fantastic quality bed. 3. CLEANLINESS - As we were a group of 12 people, we did leave quite a lot of things lying around and I did notice that every few hours when I returned to the Villa everything was always tided up and rearranged again. Overall housekeeping was very consistent and the rooms were always immaculate. 4. LOCATION - The location was just perfect because it wasn't too far away from downtown and also it wasn't too close to it either. I really wanted somewhere that still had that slight escape feeling yet we weren't in the middle of nowhere so this was a perfect choice. 5. ROOMS - I stayed in the Master Room and staying in the room alone already felt like an escape in itself with the outdoor Bathtub and the massive rainforest shower! I did manage to poke my head into all the other rooms and even though they are all designed differently, the warm & inviting interior remains the same and it wasn't TOO over the top as well. Just simple, spacious and cosy enough for you to feel relaxed and comfortable, so overall the rooms were very smartly designed! 6.SPA - I had a really enjoyable massage experience, was actually surprised you could call for a private masseuse to massage you wherever you want - on one of the outdoor massage tables to a private massage room! OVERALL: Again, as mentioned in the beginning it is really hard for me to describe everything in words because it is a place you really need to experience for yourself and I also think the photos on the website doesn't do it justice either. I find it very hard to relax in general and The Lotus Terraces made me realize what relaxing was and they definitely gave me the perfect escape I really needed to recharge. On top of that, the extremely bespoke service gave it that extra touch which made it very special for me and it's worth every penny! ✮I would highly recommend the Lotus Terraces to anyone who is looking to destress, escape, relax yet still wanting a slight personalized touch to make your holiday a bit more memorable than just being a holiday!

"Best place on Earth"
This is a copy of a letter we wrote to the Staff of the Lotus Terraces after our return visit in april. This place is perfect with everything anyone could want away from the crowds of Chaweng Beach, I think my letter to them says it all Well where can I begin to thank this place and their staff. To Ton thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did to organise the most perfect end to our holiday, it was such a pity you could not catch up with us this time, you are more than welcome in our home in australia anytime you wish to visit. Jan and Sue you go over and beyond what any staff of any other establishment have ever done for us to make us feel welcome. We enjoyed sitting and having a friendly conversation with you Jane and hope to do it again in the future. Lastly but never least to Rose, you are a true asset to the Lotus Terraces and our visits would not be the same without you. Your dedication to your work the care you take of us and your endless commitment to make sure we relax and enjoy ourselves no matter what time of the day or night is appreciated more than you realise. As Jenny told Ton we would love to take you home with us. I could write the most excellent review all night but I will finish with what I stated to you all when I was there " this is my favourite place on earth" and I will definitely be back again.

Stayed in the Lotus Villa for a week in Feb for a family wedding. The whole experience was fantastic. The Lotus Villa actually comprises many separate living areas, all well designed and luxurious, and with brilliant views across the sea. Bedrooms are great with lovely beds and great showers. This villa has its own pool and well equipped gym, as well as a snooker table and also is a few metres from the lovely communal pool. From there, you are right by the beach. We took full advantage of the chef service and would highly recommend - the food was always of excellent quality. And special mention to all of the lovely staff including Jane, Rose and Sue who looked after us such a welcoming and caring way.

My brother thankfully and very wisely chose the Lotus Terraces for their wedding. It was absolutely perfect, the best wedding I have ever attended and one of the best holidays we have had thanks to the stunning location, service provided by the staff and pride that the owners take in delivering an outstanding service. The Lotus and Banyan villas are beachfront and undoubtedly the best villas. The Villas are beautifully and very tastefully laid out. There are several different communal areas around each one so that everyone can find their own space for relaxing but when it is time to come together, there is plenty of space for entertaining. Both villas come with their own chefs and large kitchens. You wake up in the morning, wander through, with the sun shining and sound of the ocean in the background. Sit down overlooking a perfect white sand beach and beautiful blue ocean, with the island of Ko Pha ngan in the distance and Nam, Don or Rose or one of the other wonderful staff will bring you coffee or tea and make you breakfast. Bliss! They can also make dinners and it is truly an amazing experience. They buy the ingredients locally so that they are fresh but nevertheless work out to be substantially cheaper than eating out. They are able to cook such a variety of Thai food that even after over 10 years in asia I never knew existed, and I never got bored of it in the 2 weeks we were there, always looked forward to it and always absolutely enjoyed it. Each villa has a lap pool and there is also a communal pool, so you can always find space for doing a few laps. Each villa also has a gym and in-house facilities for doing massage. Take a couple of steps out of the villa and you're on the beach. They provide kayaks so that you can take a paddle up and down Bang Po beach. Between the Lotus and Banyan Villas, the Lotus is better. It is exceptionally well decorated. The gym has windows that look into the pool and it has pool and table tennis tables as well.

"A paradise in a tropical paradise, 3rd time back..."
Our 3rd trip back to Lotus Terraces, this time with our extended family of 13 with ages ranging from 15 to 80. We occupied the Lotus villa and overflowed into the Gardenia. Once again Sue and her attentive staff saw to our varied needs - In-villa massages, quad bike riding, scooter hire, and private car transfers made elderly parents and more adventurous nieces and nephews thoroughly relaxed and entertained. The change to the system which now includes the services of "Thai Iron Chef" Ton for 3 meals was absolutely fantastic and his abilities on the guitar should not go unrecognised. Our shopping trips with him to local markets added fuel to our already insatiable appetite for his cooking. His efforts in feeding 13 varied tastes for 3 meals a day was a monumental feat. Whilst Sue handles all the paperwork the real boss of the villa is Rose. On hand from sun rise to well after sun set, Rose ensures the villas are serviced & cleaned and fridge fully stocked with everything you could possibly wish for. In the staff v's guest "cook off" from your country of origin her adobo easily beat our Pavlova! Thanks to all the staff for another lovely holiday. Cant wait for the next trip. Gavin & Toni

"Heaven On Earth"
I arrived with the idea of having a peaceful vacation, but after arrival I realized that I found much more. Nothing is left unattended. The staff explained what I could have without doing much myself, they recommended massages, food delivery, restaurants near by etc. and I only had to ask and they would organize it for me. They would even do your groceries shopping, if you feel like cooking or having some snacks on standby in your villa or room. The food (home delivery) recommended was delicious, the restaurants had a nice atmosphere and good food too. The massages were done by ladies recommended by the resort and very good, always on time, the room was prepared before hand. The rooms are tastefully decorated, a home away from home, wonderful mattresses, the bathrooms had all the luxuries you would like to have at home and they also have coffee machines etc in the houses or rooms. The location is good, the most amazing sunsets, if it is not cloudy or raining, a nice sunny beach (maybe too sunny), clean sea and the resort itself is a green oases. I liked the Frangipanis best. You hear the ocean waves and in the evening cicadas and some frogs. It was paradise and unless you like the crowds and bars every night, this is the place I would recommend without doubts. The number of guests is limited so you will never find a group of tourists there or even near by! Transport into the nearby town Nathon or Chaweng Beach or any other place was no problem if you wanted to leave for a while. I could not find anything wrong and the staff is definitely worth a special thank you. If you let them they would spoil you completely. I extended my stay and if work would have permitted it and of course rooms, I would have extended my stay again and I will definitely come back as soon as possible.

"Like heaven it is and it is one of the best holidays we ever had"
We had to celebrate our birthdays and didn't want to do this in Europe, because the weather might play crazy and we love the tropical climates. We booked Lotus terraces and stayed for 6 weeks and had our kids from Holland and South Africa come also for 4 weeks. We where altogether with 7 people and some friends came over for the birthday celebration and this place was fabulous- Nice houses, good service, beautiful views, great swimming area and a beautiful garden. For us the best place so far in Koh Samui and we have been there a lot. Highly recommendable for everyone who wants to make his holiday a dream come trough.

Where are the keycaps for this switch? Can you please post a link.
Is this a push on, push again for off switch (like a car head light dipper/dimmer switch used to be); or do you have to keep pressure on it?
Have you any idea of the pressure needed to activate, such as can a finger push light/heavy easily work these or is it indeed a 'stomp"?
I just copied the two inf files (both the sparkfun one and the Leonardo one) into the c:\Windows\inf directory before pluging in the device and everything happened automatically without any prompts to search for the driver, and yes in Win 7 64 bit.
No public wish lists :(

2013 Daytona Cycle News review
Dang it, now I want one..... :tissue:
Yeah, me too.
Glad the D675 is back to top of the pack! Miss the undertail exhaust look though
Cant wait for more reviews and battles coming. I forgot which magazine pit the new 636 against the gsxr750 and current 675R, and the 636 edged out the 675R, they placed the 750 last.
Got to work on my first 2013 675R today...
A number of good points.. The new fuel tank u can light dead upright and it doesn't catch the wires on the back on the air box, or even get close... Makes removing and fitting so much easier..
The expansion bottle is now upfront on the right . by the rad and covered in the fairing..
The rider's seat is now bolted down and the pillion seat now has the key lock to remove it.. plus u get more tools with the new one !!
Front mudguard is the same as the older bikes as is the chain guard..
Rear hugger is different..
The old sprocket cover will fit will some adjustment, but the new one is different than the old one..
The clock mount and intake tube is all one part now.. Plus its not that expensive at £130 plus vat...
The bike is now completely stripped and will be Rob Guiver's race bike for 2013...
T3 Racing has done the cat removal already and will be selling the modified headers for the 2013 bikes..
I'll save you all the read and point you to what you need to see:
"almost certainly the best-handling motorcycle" and "the best sportbike of any kind that money can now buy."

Marijuana Bust in Citra Connected to National Fraudster
CITRA, Fla. -- News reports of a man in Georgia arrested for major bank fraud led investigators to an apparent drug house here in North Central Florida.
Aubrey Lee Price, who went by "Jason" in Citra, was arrested on Tuesday for stealing more than 21 million dollars from MB&T bank, according to his indictment.
Rich Sipe, the landlord for the property, recognized Price from news reports and went to the home he rented to Price in Citra.
The property serves as a homeless shelter, according to the ministry's website.
When Sipe arrived, he smelled the odor of marijuana coming from a shed and called 911. Inside the shed, deputies found 85 mature marijuana plants and another 140 plants inside the home.
Sipe declined to comment.
One neighbor says he had no idea this kind of activity was going on just a few yards away from his home.
"Jason, he was cool. I mean, he come around ask me if I want anything, or do we need anything, but I never suspected this. He was real cool person, real quiet to himself," said Jermain Jackson, a neighbor.
Also found in the residence were two pounds of packaged marijuana ready for distribution and three handguns.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Upon conviction of a criminal charge, you are subject to penalties that may include probation, fines, or incarceration. Your criminal attorney will do everything in his power to provide the court with alternative sanctions to incarceration.
If only probation or a fine is imposed by the court, it is often best to take these rather than asking for an alternative sanction. However, if the facts of your case and your past history provide the framework for the judge to consider incarceration, your attorney may suggest alternative sanctions in order to avoid this. Alternatives to incarceration clearly benefit you as the defendant, and they can also save the county or the state the extraordinary costs of incarceration.
Typically, in order to be eligible for an alternative sentence option, you must have no, or a very limited, criminal background, you must pose no threat to the public at large based upon the crime alleged, and the alleged crime must not have generated a public outcry for justice.
If your criminal attorney can successfully argue these facts to the court, you may avoid being incarcerated and instead be required to fulfill one of the following:
1. Community Service
This may be an appropriate option for someone whose conviction does not require a rehabilitative program. Typically, community service programs benefit non-profit organizations by providing the labor of the defendant in exchange for fulfilling the terms of the sentence.
2. Boot Camp
Boot camp is a military style program that emphasizes self-discipline. Typically, boot camp is appropriate for young, healthy individuals, as physical exertion is required. Many times, drug treatment and counseling are offered in conjunction with boot camp.
3. Weekend Incarceration
This may be an appropriate alternative where the offender has a regular job. If so approved, the individual is booked and enters into a detention facility on Friday evening after work and is released Monday morning prior to the beginning of the work week. In this manner, the required time is served without the further penalty of the loss of employment.
4. House Arrest
House arrest involves the use of an electronic monitoring system so the probation department can track the offender's location. A device worn around the ankle is typically employed. A specific radius can be programmed into the system that will permit movement within that area, and the monitor may be turned off for approved times, such as for work, court visits, or medical appointments.
5. Intensive Supervision
Many options are available for intensive supervision of an offender. Often, intense supervision involves a combination of several probation requirements and with greater frequency. For example, the offender may have to visit his or her probation officer on a weekly basis, submit to random drugs tests, perform many hours of community service, and be subject to a curfew.
One caveat: Any alternative sentencing option involves another layer of bureaucracy and opportunities to fail. An experienced criminal attorney should seek such an option only when necessary to avoid incarceration.

Axford Closing The Door For The Brewers
Courtesy: Canisius College Athletics
Release: 10/10/2011
Axford recorded his second save of the playoffs on Sunday, with a 1-2-3 top of the ninth inning in Game 1 of the Natioal League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

and what if the spec was changed to a length greater than 4?
one of the main things a computer is fantastic at is repetition and the ability to be scalable, all aspects which are not present in this, however, since you are a beginner, it's fine... for now. even i remember doing something as incredibly horrifying like this.
things to note:
your input only takes strings up to 4 characters (4 to store the string and the last element to store the string terminator),
notice patterns in your code. anything with patterns can be set into combinations of loops and conditional statements. for example, a simple program to sum up the simple pattern: 1+2+3+..+10:

Hi, this is certainly one way to solve it, but not the best.
It works, but like c student said, it can't handle passwords longer than 4 characters, but you made one mistake. You are checking at position 5, remember with arrays we start counting at 0. So for an array of 5 chars, you have position 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. You are checking at a 5th position, this can cause your program to randomly crash and do weird stuff.

Hi guys! I hope you don't mind a few questions
about a RAID 0 setup for videoediting purposes.
RAID 0 is said to be a risky thing, but I plan to use it as a temporary storage
in video editing sessions, where I place the footage on my RAID 0 drive to work faster (+cheaper)
Can RAID 0 give me (frequent) headaches during this sessions?
(I wouldn't mind loosing footage data once a month,
since I'd have backed it up on another drive anyway)
I can imagine it depends on your RAID controller and the HDD's.
I looked around and found a 4 channel Raid controller. The Highpoint 1820.
I plan to use 4 Raptors (each 36 GB) drives in RAID 0.
Is this overkill for 16-32 bit work,
mostly in SD resolutions?
Must I get a motherboard that has a 133 MHz PCI-X slot
for controllers that don't support generic PCI
Can I use an SLI motherboard, for Raid controller cards
that plug into an PCI-express slot?
What about software RAID as found on the nForce4 motherboards?
Will I be disappointed with the RAID 0 performance
THX a lot for any info.

About SAMREC
In 2000 the reality of the Coega Project and the possible threat to the marine ecosystem raised many issues amongst conservationists and the business sector. With the increased shipping traffic in Algoa Bay, the threat of an oil spill or indiscriminate dumping became a mounting concern.
As a result, SAMREC, the South African Marine Rehabilitation and Education Centre Trust was established. The centre offers the visitor a unique and interesting insight into the marine life of Algoa Bay and the challenges it faces. Today the centre rescues all marine life but concentrates primarily on birds, specifically the endangered African Penguin.
Our SAMREC Sea School educates the general public and marine coastal users about the need for the centre and the dangers facing marine life.
Schools and organisations visit us for lessons on a variety of topics ranging for the plight of the penguin to the insects of the Cape Recife Nature Reserve to the struggles of the shipwreck survivors. Through the exploration of the rock pools and coastal environment and the use of visual aids such as posters, taxidermy specimens and dress-up clothing the children are involved and thoroughly enjoy the experience.
Rescue, rehabilitate, release and educate
We have launched a 4-prongeded attack and our aim is:
To form and maintain an effective coastal network to respond to any standings To rescue and rehabilitate animals in need of help and where possible, return them to the wild. To be prepared to respond to a major oil spill and rehabilitate any compromised marine life. To provide research facilities and opportunities to scientists and veterinary specialist To create awareness for the need for coastal conservation To educate the public on how to care for our great asset and to save it for future generations

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
To me, this does not make sense as we would already have in our agreement that he would own 50% of the business, which translates to me 50% of the profits, correct?
Not necessary. It's only in corporations that profits must be shared in proportion to ownership. (In an S-Corp that's the ONLY way it can be done) In a C-Corp you can accomplish non-proportional sharing of profits through having different share classes.
HOWEVER, one of the reasons that the LLC is becoming so popular is that profits, losses, voting rights, ownership interest, capital gains, capital losses … ALL these things can be shared in any way that the partners decide (through delineation in the operating agreement) … You can do MANY of these things through a partnership as well, but the LLC is the MOST flexible.
How would a partnership like this affect me tax-wise as a U.S. citizen becoming a partner in a Canadian partnership?
US Citizens have to pay tax on ALL worldwide income, (see this: http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Income-from-Abroad-is-Taxable so you'd report it as just as you do now, on your 1040 (could be from a a k-1 from partnership or multi-member LLC, and it will end up on line 12 – business income or loss – just as you sole proprietorship income does now, from the schedule C) . If you DID end up setting things up as a corporation then you may end up receiving both wages AND dividends)
Because the "start-up" costs are mainly online marketing and website design (all work that Halestorm Media would provide for the partnership) could I still receive a salary from the business
Sure, OR you can receive your share of the profits as self employment income, OR you can receive both as mentioned above, just depends on you you both decide to structure things.
Would it be possible to not become a partner but to remain a contractor receiving a salary with a profit-sharing option, like salary + 15%? If so, how would I set up a profit-sharing agreement with a Canadian company, as Halestorm Media is a U.S. sole proprietorship?
Yes, or as mentioned above, you can do both, OR a combination. You could also just ask for an employment contract as an individual, where a bonus, based on profit, is paid.
I am worried that although my partnership share of 25% would be too low, as I would be contributing more services to the partnership than Ron, who would be receiving a 25% partnership as well. Most of the work of this website transformation are my services (website design, integration, graphic design, marketing, etc.). Also, Joshua is willing to pay for all up front costs, which are really my services + advertising costs, but he wouldn't be contribution much work other than executive decisions. Is there a different way to structure this that would work better for me?
As mentioned above, when a partnership or a multi-member LLC is formed as the business entity here, all of these percentages can be set up any way you want … just write them into the operating agreement. … The fact that you are now operating as a sole proprietor shouldn't be the constraint here.
You need to, first, think about what really IS fair, in terms of compensation, guarantees and share of profits AND how much risk you want to assume. Make a counter offer where the percentages are in line with what you want.
Then the business entity that's chosen OR the employment contract OR a combination of the two can be drafter to make (wages) or allow (profits and losses) that to happen.
On last thought; You MAY want to do the design and then only LICENSE the limited rights to the other company … giving you the ability to CONTROL this intellectual property and license it to other organizations as well.
From a tax perspective THERE, you may want to look at assigning (selling) the intellectual property, which would generate the lower CAPITAL GAINS tax, as opposed to the ordinary income tax that all of the previously discussed options will drive.
Finally, DO remember that with the partnership offer (regardless of which entity type you use) it will only be the profits, on which you are taxed.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply Lane. I did have one last question that wasn't addressed above:
7. Overall, what is the best plan of action for my business in this situation? What should be my action plan?
Thanks for the reply.
So, from my understanding, you think I should set up a separate LLC in the USA in addition to the sole proprietorship that I already own, Halestorm Media. Then, I would add Josh and Ron to my USA LLC, correct?
The thing is, that Joshua wants to set up the partnership or LLC in Canada, as that is where he lives. And, he wants to have the majority interest of the business, as he owns the website and lists, which is how we will end up marketing our product.
The website design will not be unique, we are just setting it up like a online e-course type of thing. So it can easily be replicated and it is all of the time.
So, the botXXXXX XXXXXne is that Joshua will be the majority partner with the business setup in Canada, with Ron and I the minority partners. In fact, the business is already setup in Canada.
So, my question actually is, is it better to go into this Canadian business from a tax-point of view (what's best for me tax-wise) as a:
a) Maintain contractor status & have bonus/profit-sharing plan
b) Be in a Canadian (not USA) partnership/LLC, but negotiate
Thanks, Heidi
So, from my understanding, you think I should set up a separate LLC in the USA in addition to the sole proprietorship that I already own, Halestorm Media. Then, I would add Josh and Ron to my USA LLC, correct?
The thing is, that Joshua wants to set up the partnership or LLC in Canada, as that is where he lives. And, he wants to have the majority interest of the business, as he owns the website and lists, which is how we will end up marketing our product.
K, then we're really back to just negotiating the percentages ... You can still run the income through your LLC or Sole proprietorship. Any (non-employee income that you receive is, by default, contractor income which, if it's just one person, is a sole proprietorship, if you haven't done anything more formal)
The website design will not be unique, we are just setting it up like a on line e-course type of thing. So it can easily be replicated and it is all of the time.
OK, was just trying to be sure that you protect your interests
So, the botXXXXX XXXXXne is that Joshua will be the majority partner with the business setup in Canada, with Ron and I the minority partners. In fact, the business is already setup in Canada.
Gotcha, (still relates to the above)
So, my question actually is, is it better to go into this Canadian business from a tax-point of view (what's best for me tax-wise) as a:
Honestly there's not a lot of difference. As a US Citizen, you'll pay tax on the income either way (We've really kind of come full circle back to this: http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Income-from-Abroad-is-Taxable)
The only difference I can see, really, is possibly the ability to control more f the expenses, if you remain a separate entity.
Your welcome thank you
OR set me up as your preferred expert on your home page.
Regardless, thanks again,
Will do Lane. I don't want to take any more of your time, but I did just read something that pertains to my questions above that we did not address and I think it very important to conclude on (no more questions after this).
I did read in my book, "Form a Partnership: The Complete Legal Guide" this:
<-----"Form a Partnership: The Complete Legal Guide" excerpt start---->
Contribution of Services
So much for property. Now let's look at the tax consequences if a person receives an interest in a partnership in return for contribution of services. Under the tax laws, services aren't property. If the contributing partner receives a capital (ownership) interest in the partnership in exchange for (the promise of) services, that partner has received taxable income.
Alicia, Rose, and Ruby form a partnership to operate a hair salon. Alicia and Ruby each contribute $15,000 for start-up capital and plan to work part-time in the business. Rose has no cash to contribute, but she receives one-third ownership of the partnership in exchange for promising to work full time for a year. As far as the tax laws are concerned, Rose has received taxable income by this agreement. The cash contributions to the business total $30,000; Rose owns one-third of the business. According to tax law, Rose has received taxable income of $10,000.
Unfortunately, Rose hasn't really received any money. If the business was sold, and she got one-third of the cash for the sale, it would be easier for her to pay tax on her share. But here, the tax code essentially treats her partnership interest as payment for her work (income).
Now, suppose the partnership agreement doesn't give Rose a present ownership (capital) interest in the partnership but only the right to receive one-third of the future profits in return for her services. In other words, if the business is sold, Rose gets nothing. But as long as the business continues, she gets one-third of the profits. Tax experts used to believe there were no tax consequences if only future profits were involved. However, in a case that involved receipt of future profits in a partnership in exchange for the promise of future services, the tax court held that this amounted to a cash depreciation, and the present value of the right to receive future profits was taxable income to the services-contributing partner (Sol Diamond, 56 T.C. 530 (1971), aff'd 492 F.2d 286 (7th Cir. 1974), questioned and narrowed in Campbell v. Commissioner, 943 F.2d 815 (9th Cir. 1991)).
Many tax practitioners believe that the Sol Diamond case is an aberration - a case that's exaplained by, and limited to, its peculiar facts. Among these was the fact that the present value of the right to receive future profits had actually been calculated because the right to receive future profits had been sold. In other words, Sol's idea was a tax scam, disguising a present ownership interest by calling it "the right to receive future profits."
Returning to our example of Alicia, Rose, and Ruby, it's quite possible that Rose will have no tax liability if all she receives is a right to share in future profits. After all, who can tell if there will be any profits? However, if the partnership had been running profitably for a while when Rose was invited to join in exchange for her promise to work full time, Rose might have incurred a tax liability. The track record of the business profitability might provide a reliable way to value Rose's present right to receive future income.
If you're considering giving a partner an ownership interest, or even the right to receive future profits in exchange for services, see a CPA.
<-----"Form a Partnership: The Complete Legal Guide" excerpt end---->
My comments: This is a situation that I am concerned about. Let's say that Joshua contributes $25,000 as the 50% partner. This would mean that I would need to contribute $12,500 worth of "future" services to be a 25% partner and would also mean that I would have to claim $12,500 of income on my tax return, correct?
In this hypothetical example, I am not sure how I would be able to incorporate getting paid a salary from Josh in addition to being "in the hole" $12,500 in services for my 25% contribution? It seems that this is a big different from becoming a partner vs. remaining a contractor with bonus that we did not discuss.
Thank you! I will remember to use you anytime I have a financial question in the future Lane. i

We have a teaser of an interview that GM CEO Rick Wagoner gave to the German Publication Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung which will be published tomorrow.
He is reportedly quoted as saying two very big things.
1. GM wants to put the Volt out by 2010 as opposed to the end of 2010.
2. They want to sell them for less than $30,000.
Wagoner is quoted as saying, "Our two challenges are lowering the cost of batteries and convincing consumers of the advantages of the Volt."
I haven't gotten access to the full interview yet, but I confirmed these statements directly with the author of the referenced press release. She told me the interview publisher's quote is "GM has a clear goal: We want to put the Volt on the market in 2010, at a price of less than $30,000."
[UPDATE: The full interview is out and doesnt really say any more than what we have above. It seems translation is still a factor here. Im looking for verification from inside GM. Translation by Google]

I am currently living in a foster home. It's pretty nice. It is certainly nicer than where I came from anyway. My foster mom found me when I came to her grandma's house in town. I was very pregnant and had decided that the shed in her backyard would be a great place to raise my pups. I didn't know how right I was. The sweet lady took really good care of us until the pups were up and running around. That's when foster mom came and my life changed completely.
When I lived in town I was just running the streets. I had owners, but they didn't really take care of me. That's why I went somewhere else to have my pups. I knew they weren't going to help me and happily I found someone that would.
Anyway, when I got to foster mom's house, boy was I surprised. There are so many animals here it is amazing. There are lots of dogs and they are all so nice to me. They are not at all like some of the dogs in town that I had to protect my pups from. Also, there are loads of cats and goats. I had never seen a goat before, but they seemed pretty nice.
My pups and I got our own pen, so I could keep taking good care of them. They were about four or five weeks old when we got here, so they still needed me. After about three weeks foster mom said it was time for all of us to say goodbye. My babies were leaving for their very own forever homes. She said someone had sent in an application on me, but then backed out. She also said she was sorry, she wished I had a forever home to go to as quickly as my babies did.
It sure was quiet without the babies, but I soon made friends with a big dog named Pup. She is quite old, but she works here keeping an eye on the goats. She showed me all around the place and I had a good time being a goat dog with her. After some time of helping around the farm there was an accident with one of the goats. Foster mom says she doesn't think I had anything to do with it, but just in case I needed to stay in a pen.
I didn't really want to be locked up, but Pup walked with me to the pen and told me it would be okay. She was right. There are three really nice dogs living with me now. Little Dude and Steve are big buddies and they just love having me around. Chloe was so tickled that she couldn't stop hopping and kissing me. She is pretty scared of people and I am trying to help her with that. She is a really sweet girl and made me feel very welcome, so I figure it's the least I can do to repay her kindness.
Foster life has been pretty sweet so far. I've gone from dodging cars to running through the woods with my friends. I've watched as all of my sweet babies went to wonderful homes. I've even seen some of my doggie and kittie friends here go to new homes. There are a lot of really wonderful pets out there looking for a home and I am glad that I found some people that would keep me safe until I can find mine.
