A Wood Heights man will spend the next 10 years in prison after working out a plea agreement on Wednesday for selling marijuana.
James D. McMillen, 46, was facing 14 felony counts. Prosecutors dropped 13 of the charges for possession of illegal prescription drugs. Prosecutors said at the time of McMillen's arrest that it appeared the prescriptions belonged to McMillen's live-in girlfriend who has some medical issues.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, the Ray County Sheriff's Department responded to a complaint at McMillen's residence on Aug. 25 of 2008.
McMillen gave officers consent to search his house where numerous items including narcotics, paraphernalia and cash were found concealed and in the open.
Officers recovered 1124 grams of marijuana, baggies and digital scales.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [AR] Nov. 1, 2007 Texas Clipper To Be Sunk as Artificial Reef Update: The sinking of the Texas Clipper has been rescheduled for Nov. 17, 2007. AUSTIN, Texas -- When she is finally sent to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico Nov. 17*, the USTS (United States Training Ship) Texas Clipper will go down in history as the artificial reef that almost wasn't. The stakes were high all along: as an artificial reef, the ship is expected to generate as much as $30 million annually for local economies over a lifespan of at least 50 years. The complex, durable structure with its high, vertical profile will form the foundation of a vibrant community of corals and other invertebrates, as well as recreationally important "bottom" fish such as snappers and groupers, and pelagic species like cobia, king mackerel and dorado. The 473-foot vessel was mothballed twice between periods of active sea service before retiring as the oldest ship in the United States Merchant Marine fleet in 1996. Then, on the cusp of being turned-over to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as that agency's most ambitious artificial reef project, the ship sank at her berth at the U.S. Maritime Administration facility near Beaumont, Texas. Even as she was raised and patched, last-minute negotiations saved the Texas Clipper from the scrap heap and she was towed to Brownsville, Texas, for environmental remediation and preparation as a reef. "It would make a good movie, the twists and turns in this story," said TPWD Artificial Reef Program Coordinator J. Dale Shively. "There were times when we thought for sure the project was dead." But nearly a decade after the state first applied to MARAD for the transfer of the Texas Clipper as part of the artificial reef program, success is in sight. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certified Oct. 1 that the ship is free of hazardous materials. She will be towed to a site 17 nautical miles from South Padre Island, Texas. The next morning, workers will open valves to flood the ship and allow her to settle 134 feet to the hard sand bottom. Two days later, the site will be open to the public for diving and fishing. "This ship has an incredible history," said Shively. "Of course, after three decades as a Galveston-based training vessel, she has a very strong Texas connection. But we like to say she's already had three lives, starting in the Pacific theatre during World War II, and her role as a reef will be her fourth life and final journey." The Texas Clipper, most recently (1965-1996) a maritime training vessel for Texas A&M University-Galveston, began her life as the USS Queens (APA-103), a WWII transport and attack ship. As the Queens, she participated in the Pacific war and was the first attack troop transport to arrive at Iwo Jima. After the war she was recommissioned as the SS Excambion, one of the post-war "four aces" of the American Export Lines. As the Excambion, she carried cargo and passengers in luxurious style between New York City and Mediterranean ports. As an artificial reef, the Texas Clipper will be the site of several scientific monitoring programs. The University of Texas-Brownsville will partner with TPWD to monitor biological growth on the hull of the ship from the very beginning, and Texas A&M University and the National Marine Fisheries Service will conduct an ongoing experiment to look at the pace of corrosion in Gulf waters (this will be useful for, among other things, gauging the potential environmental impact of wrecks containing fuel, oil and other ecologically harmful substances). "The benefits -- to the local fishery, to the economy of South Texas, and to ongoing science -- are tremendous," said TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Director Larry D. McKinney, Ph.D. "The only reason we don't have more of these complex reef communities in waters off Texas is because we lack the hard substrate that corals and other reef organisms need to get established. We can provide that with artificial reefs -- whether former oil production platforms, concrete culverts or something as magnificent as this ship." Prepared for reefing by Resolve Marine Services, Inc. (with ESCO Marine, Inc. as subcontractor) in Brownsville, the Texas Clipper will go down as possibly the cleanest ship every deliberately sunk for this purpose. Remediation, just completed in recent months, has included the removal of 1,680 cu. yards of asbestos and more than 76,000 pounds of PCB-containing materials. EDITORS: Seats are still available for journalists on boats going out Nov. 17 to observe the sinking of the ship. TPWD has extensive photo and video documentation of the entire USTS Texas Clipper reefing project, including the initial move from the ship's "mothball" mooring near Beaumont, Texas. We also have historical photos of the ship under all three names. * Correction, Nov 15, 2007: The sinking date has been postponed.

NEW ORLEANS — Pythons. Cobras. Anacondas. 2013 is the year of the snake and the Audubon Zoo is celebrating with a special exhibit.
Amanda Mazzoni, the Discovery Walk coordinator at Audubon Zoo, was busy Saturday leading a team of staff and volunteers while zoogoers gasped "ooh" and "ahh" over the reptiles.
"Snakes are one of our largest animals in our collection that we have for education," Mazzoni said. "So, we thought what better way than to say, 'Hey, it's the year of the snake and here's how cool and wonderful these creatures are,' and get people more aware of them."
But getting visitors over their fear of snakes is the first step.
"People come in and they're either petrified of them, or they have the wrong assumption of them and there's a lot of mis-education out there. We thought it worked really well to get people more familiar with them and appreciate them versus fear them," Mazzoni said.
Some visitors stopped by in between Saturday's Carnival parades. Others came to escape the Carnival crowds and spend a quiet afternoon enjoying the sights.
The exhibit included a python feed, educational performances at the Shell Theater, and a snake encounter.
Monty, a 40-year-old Burmese python, was brought out for a visit.
"We've had some people that were terrified," Mazzoni said, "so getting them to actually touch a real snake and just be comfortable with them around is great."
Three-year-old Olivia McGowan must be the exception. She fearlessly marched up to Monty and caressed the mighty python all the way down his back, boldly shouting, "I have to touch him!"
She reached for Monty's head just before Stephanie Joseph, youth volunteer coordinator, warned the child to steer clear.
"They're just such a people-pleaser," Joseph said. "They're a dynamic animal, and so when people see three or four people holding a snake, they stop and they check it out and they come listen to what you have to say, which is really neat."
Joseph, who has been a volunteer youth coordinator for three and a half years, said she enjoys watching both the volunteers and visitors open up to the animals. She first worked with snakes when she was 13 as a junior keeper and was fascinated by them.
So what don't we know about the zoo's slithery reptiles?
"The biggest misconception about snakes are the length," Mazzoni said. "People get snakes when they're small, and they think oh, it'll only get as big as its enclosure, which is a complete myth. Reptiles, just like humans and all animals, grow throughout their entire lifetime. They just reach a maximum size at a certain time."
This was the first official Chinese New Year's year of the snake commemoration at Audubon Zoo. Past theme exhibits have included "All Snakes Day" and the "Year of the Tiger."

Before and after Cindy Sheehan's announcement Thursday that she was leaving Crawford to attend to her ill mother, the networks celebrated her supposed achievements and hoped they'd re-invigorate the anti-war movement. "Did just one grieving mother spark the beginnings of an anti-war movement? We'll give you the 'Inside Story,'" CBS anchor John Roberts promised before Wyatt Andrews trumpeted: "Her movement seemed to catch fire Wednesday night as tens of thousands of people in more than a thousand places attended vigils in support." He insisted that it's "very clear Cindy Sheehan has tapped the public's frustration." ABC anchor Elizabeth Vargas saw "a campaign born of sadness and resolution." Thursday morning, ABC's Charlie Gibson championed: "All across the country protests against the war in Iraq, inspired by the mother standing her ground at President Bush's ranch." On screen, GMA put "MOM ON A MISSION: IS ANTIWAR MOVEMENT GROWING?" George Stephanopoulos claimed "a lot of Republicans would say" that "this is the President's swift boat moment."
The AP's Ron Fournier got into the act too, opening a Thursday night dispatch: "What began as one mother's vigil on a country road in Texas two weeks ago has grown into a nationwide protest, putting a grieving human face to the miseries of war and the misgivings about President Bush's strategies in Iraq."
Full CyberAlert article follows. For Friday's MRC CyberAlert.
Fournier insisted: "While her backers maintain the vigil in Texas, Republican Party leaders are worried that the so-called Peace Mom has brought long-simmering unease over Iraq to a boil by galvanizing anti-war activists. They fear that protests will strike a chord with the large number of Americans who have long felt uneasy about the war yet have been giving Bush the benefit of the doubt."
A further rundown of those and a couple of other fawning stories from Thursday, August 18:
# CBS Evening News.
Anchor John Roberts, the MRC's Brad Wilmouth noticed, offered this plug: "Coming up next on tonight's CBS Evening News, did just one grieving mother spark the beginnings of an anti-war movement? We'll give you the 'Inside Story.'"
Roberts set up the subsequent story: "Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, suspended her anti-war vigil outside of President Bush's ranch today after learning that her 74-year-old mother had a stroke. Sheehan's protest has already drawn world attention, but is it affecting public opinion? Wyatt Andrews has tonight's 'Inside Story.'"
Andrews began: "Whatever Cindy Sheehan represents, her movement seemed to catch fire Wednesday night as tens of thousands of people in more than a thousand places attended vigils in support. The question is: In support of what?"
Clip of protesters chanting: "Meet with Cindy, tell her the truth."
Andrews: "To many, Sheehan's cause is the spark that will bring a simmering anti-war movement to a boil."
Unidentified woman with microphone: "You have a sense out there that this is a tipping point."
Unidentified man: "Actually, it's given a sort of a single voice to the peace movement of America."
Andrews: "But is there a peace movement in America? One recent poll showed [USA Today/Gallup] that a majority of Americans, 56 percent, favor withdrawing some or all troops from Iraq. It's not clear if that majority favors an immediate withdrawal but very clear Cindy Sheehan has tapped the public's frustration."
Unidentified woman: "Enough is enough. Our sons don't need to die for this."
Andrews: "Those nationwide vigils were also remarkable because, just two weeks ago, Cindy Sheehan's movement was some lawn chairs and a cooler. But here's what her movement is not: 25 years ago, at the height of Vietnam, hundreds of thousands of people marched on both New York and Washington. You aren't seeing that, says Vietnam veteran Jan Scruggs, because most Americans aren't solidly opposed to Iraq."
Jan Scruggs, Vietnam Veteran, standing with Andrews in Lafayette Park across from the White House: "I do not see the passion among the average Joe on the street to bring the troops home, to end the war now. I just do not see that kind of passion."
Andrews squeezed in a brief mention of a contrary view: "Sheehan also has detractors. Many veterans' families, including Linne Blankenbecler, who lost her husband James in Iraq, are not part of Sheehan's movement."
Linne Blankenbecler, Widow of U.S. soldier killed in Iraq: "My husband is not a part of that. He would have never protested this war. He is a supporter of Bush. I voted for Bush."
Andrews concluded: "The anti-war movement faces its truest test one month from now when supporters say 100,000 anti-war protestors will march on Washington. It's a march even organizers acknowledge that's been energized by the emergence of Cindy Sheehan. Wyatt Andrews, CBS News, Washington."
# ABC's World News Tonight. Anchor Elizabeth Vargas teased: "'A Closer Look' at the national anti-war movement created by a single woman whose son was killed in Iraq: The military families who say Cindy Sheehan does not speak for them."
Vargas introduced a series of point-counterpoint clips from two parents: "We're going to take 'A Closer Look' tonight at a new national movement against the war in Iraq, the woman who started it, and the people who do not agree. It is a campaign born of sadness and resolution. In dozens of cities last night, people gathered to show support for Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq and decided to do something about the war she does not support. [Cindy Sheehan] Ms. Sheehan has been camped near President Bush's ranch in Texas for nearly two weeks now, asking for a meeting with President Bush, and telling anyone who will listen that American troops should get out of Iraq.
"A lot of people are listening. Her struggle has also created something of a backlash, people who say she's exploiting her own son's death to advance her campaign against the war. More than 1800 Americans have been killed in Iraq, four more today. Some of their parents, like Celeste Zappala, who lost her son earlier this year, say they agree with Cindy Sheehan. Others, like Ron Griffin, whose son was killed early on in the war, say Sheehan does not speak for them...."
# ABC's Good Morning America.
Charlie Gibson plugged the Thursday program: "This morning a war of words. All across the country protests against the war in Iraq, inspired by the mother standing her ground at President Bush's ranch. But is anyone in the White House feeling the heat?"
In the 7am newscast, Robin Roberts introduced a story: "Thousands of anti-war voices have joined the mission of military mom Cindy Sheehan, who has been camped outside the President's ranch. ABC's Geoff Morrell joins us live from Crawford, Texas. Good morning, Geoff."
Morrell checked in: "Good morning, Robin. There is more evidence that Cindy Sheehan is re-energizing the anti-war movement. Her sunset vigil on the road to the President's ranch spawned an estimated 1,500 others nationwide."
Protesters singing: "I once was lost-"
Morrell: "Crawford's Prairie Chapel Road turned into a place of worship overnight as a tearful Cindy Sheehan and more than a hundred of her supporters prayed by candlelight for an end to the war that killed her son, Casey."
Cindy Sheehan: "I'll never get to see him again. I'll never get to hear his voice again. [edit jump] I'll never het to hug him or kiss him."
Morrell: "This seen was repeated across the country from Washington to Seattle, Dallas to Detroit. In groups large and small. These demonstrations, though no doubt heartfelt, were hardly spontaneous. They were promoted by at least three liberal political action groups whose Web sites provided plans, protest sites and even placards ready to print. All this is unlikely to get Sheehan another meeting with President Bush, but it has inspired her and others to keep fighting. In fact, Sheehan now says she'll head to Washington in late September and continue her protest there."
Following a segment with pro/con on war from two parents who lost sons in Iraq, with "MOM ON A MISSION: IS ANTIWAR MOVEMENT GROWING?" on screen, Gibson bought aboard, from Washington, DC, George Stephanopoulos.
His first question, as tracked by the MRC's Brian Boyd: "Are Cindy Sheehan and the anti-war movement doing President Bush any political damage? Joining us now from Washington, This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos. George, Cindy Sheehan to an extent has become a focal point, a symbol for those who oppose the war. Has the White House in anyway let her become so by the President not meeting with her?"
Stephanopoulos: "I think a lot of Republicans would say so, Charlie. They would say that this is the President's swift boat moment. Remember last August when John Kerry was attacked by those other Vietnam veterans, he didn't respond. They're saying that the President has made the exact same mistake here by not meeting with Cindy Sheehan. But the White House says 'No, that's not it. If we had met with her she would still be out there.' The protest would still be out there. And the real problem is the violence in Iraq. What we're seeing every single day. Four more Americans killed today. People are going to be sour when they see that kind of violence."
A befuddled Gibson repeated himself: "So they don't feel in anyway that they miscalculated by not having the President meet with her?"
Stephanopoulos: "You know, Charlie, if you put them up to a lie detector they might admit it. But they are not admitting it at all in public. They are saying there is no second guessing. The President is not going to meet with her. Their point, and it seems like a personal point for the President, is that the Crawford ranch is going to be his home, they hope for the next 30 or 40 years and they couldn't set the precedent of letting people just come up to the gate and forcing a meeting with the President."
Gibson: "I know you've been doing some reporting on this. Was it a group decision or did the President make the decision himself that he wouldn't go out there?"
Stephanopoulos: "I think there were others involved but clearly the President was involved in the decision. It shows, as I said, this is his home and he was going to make a decision about his home. But they know they have a big problem overall right now with Iraq, Charlie, and they are going to try and do something about it. The President is going to go back out on the road next week, a series of three speeches and one more time making the case on Iraq, making the case that the sacrifice is worth it."
# NBC's Today.
Ann Curry, during 7am news update: "Well, last night in hundreds of vigils from coast to coast, thousands of anti-war protesters turned out in support of the California mother who's been camped outside the President's ranch in Texas. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell joins us now with more on this story from Crawford. Kelly, good morning."
O'Donnell: "Good morning, Ann. For the first time since Cindy Sheehan set up camp near the President's ranch, supporters and some detractors in places far away from Crawford added their own voices to hers. Outside the president's other home, the White House, the message was the same as in Crawford, citizen opposed to the war in Iraq-"
Group: "Meet with Cindy! Tell her the truth!"
O'Donnell: "-but countered by a different gathering, in favor of the President's war policy. While in New York City's Union Square, hundreds answered Cindy Sheehan's call, and in Fort Lauderdale, where they repeated Sheehan's request to meet with the President."
Unidentified Woman #1: "Bush ignoring her is indicative of how he's interacting with the American people."
O'Donnell, over video of very small crowd, one person holding "Bush Lied People Died" sign: "From Boston to Charleston, South Carolina, activism on display."
Unidentified Woman #2: "The real patriots are the ones like Cindy Sheehan who are standing up against this war."
O'Donnell: "To Cleveland, where they remember the recent loss of 20 Marines based in the area, across the time zones to California, organizers claim volunteers signed up on the Web to attend more than 1500 vigils nationwide."
Group, singing: "We are a gentle and-"
O'Donnell: "The coordination done by three liberal activist groups long opposed to the war. Back in Crawford, Sheehan herself was the draw."
Cindy Sheehan: "I'll never get to see him again. I'll never get to hear his voice again."
O'Donnell: "Her own vigil now in its 13th day. Cindy Sheehan and her supporters may be ready to move but not very far. A local landowner who has property near the Bush ranch, closer than the protesters are right now, has offered them space if they can work out some details. That move may happen soon, and it could also ease some of the concerns in the community from people annoyed by the protest. Ann."
# "'Peace Mom': Spearhead of Peace Movement?" read the headline over the Yahoo posting of AP veteran political reporter Ron Fournier's August 18 dispatch. An excerpt:
WASHINGTON -- What began as one mother's vigil on a country road in Texas two weeks ago has grown into a nationwide protest, putting a grieving human face to the miseries of war and the misgivings about President Bush's strategies in Iraq.
It's still not clear whether Cindy Sheehan's effort was the start of a lasting anti-war movement or a fleeting summertime story fueled by media-savvy liberal interest groups....
While her backers maintain the vigil in Texas, Republican Party leaders are worried that the so-called Peace Mom has brought long-simmering unease over Iraq to a boil by galvanizing anti-war activists. They fear that protests will strike a chord with the large number of Americans who have long felt uneasy about the war yet have been giving Bush the benefit of the doubt.
The president's falling poll numbers -- less than 40 percent approve of his handling of Iraq -- could drop further, threatening his military plans in Iraq, his agenda at home and Republican political prospects in the 2006 congressional and gubernatorial elections.
But will that happen? Will one woman's demand to meet the president outside his vacation home be viewed someday as a tipping point against the war?
"It's really hard to tell whether this will be a blip on the radar screen or whether it reflects a deep change in public opinion," said John Green, director of the University of Akron's Ray C. Bliss Institute for Applied Politics. "A lot will depend to what extent Sheehan and her vigil link up with the disquiet we're seeing in public polls, especially with the people who haven't been opposed to the war in the past."
It also depends on factors outside the control of Bush, Sheehan and their supporters. A reduction in violence in Iraq or a legitimate, new constitution for the government would help Bush. More bloodshed and no political progress in Iraq would probably give momentum to Sheehan and her supporters.
No matter what happens, it can't be denied that Sheehan thrust herself and her cause into the spotlight at near-record speed....
More like the news media thrust Sheehan's cause into the spotlight at near-record speed.

Ar lower age requirements
I was wonder if you had to be 21 to order an ar lower. I feel like I've read that somewhere before and I was wondering bc I want to build my own
Not sure of the laws where you are but I bumped into an old student of mine about a month and a half ago and he was buying parts to build an AR and he's 20.
I'm petty sure you only have to be 18. An AR is a riffle so it should still fall under that category.
All ar lower receivers can be used as a pistol so you are required to register them as if it was a pistol. Stating that you must be 21, once a stock is on it then the age requirement is 18. No dealer will/should sell a lower to under 21 because batfe will not be nice to them.
Yep. To buy a stripped lower you have to be 21.
FEDERAL law- applies to ALL states. To buy a rifle or shotgun from a dealer, you must be 18. For OTHER firearms, age 21. A lower by itself is not a rifle or a shotgun, it is an OTHER- you need to be 21.
So by what you guys are saying I can get an complete lower with the rifle stock on it?
Mated with a barrel of less than 16", a receiver and buttstock will fall under Title II (NFA) rules and cannot be transferred under Title I (GCA) regs. Title II is 21 minimum age, too.
It may be possible to buy a receiver in a private sale but I only have experience with C&R and Title I FFL purchases. Honestly, the BATF is very helpful with these questions and their documented response can keep you off the government "naughty list". I find that they are easier to deal with if you think of them as an extension of the IRS (as they were originally chartered).

Chip Ganassi Racing's future certainly looks bright. On Sunday the organization signed 18-year-old Dylan Kwasniewski to a developmental contract.
"This young man has impressed us from the moment we saw him," Ganassi said. "His poise, skill and determination on the race track are remarkable for someone so young. I am really looking forward to seeing him grow as a driver with each increase of competition. I think Dylan has a big future ahead of him in NASCAR."
Kwasniewski is following Kyle Larson's footsteps which have led Larson into a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series seat already. This season Kwasniewski and Larson are teammates with Turner Scott Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
The Las Vegas, Nevada native signed the deal in his hometown after finishing 24th in the Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday. It was his first trip to a 1.5 mile track and he had his struggles with a practice crash and also crashing in the race.
"I am extremely happy right now and thrilled to be getting this opportunity with Chip and the whole team," Kwasniewski said. "I have wanted to do nothing but race for as long as I can remember so this is a dream come true. I look forward to being part of Chip's organization and will hopefully be a key contributor to its future success."
Kwasniewski is a proven champion in NASCAR already as he won the 2012 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West title and the 2013 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East title.

Ross Targets Top Spot in NZV8 Touring Cars Championship
Media Release
8th January 2014
NZV8 Touring Cars
Concept Motorsport - Nick Ross
Round Two - Teretonga Park, Invercargill
Ross Targets Top Spot in NZV8 Touring Cars Championship
With the NZV8 Touring Cars competing this weekend at Invercargill's Teretonga Park, Holden driver Nick Ross is targetting a step up into the top spot of the championship by the end of the three scheduled races.
The ferocious battle had in the opening round of the NZV8 Touring Cars will be a tough act to follow for Cambridge driver Nick Ross who fought hard with defending champion Jason Bargwanna at Pukekohe Park Raceway in November.
Driving the Total Lubricants Holden Commodore he took his first race win of the season plus pole position and recorded the fastest lap of the round setting a very impressive standard to uphold to say the least.
He placed second and fourth in the other two races of the weekend and currently holds second place in the NZV8TC TLX class standings behind Bargwanna.
Ross and the Concept Motorsport team head to Invercargill this weekend for round two where he plans to further improve on the impressive showing at Pukekohe and slip into the top spot ahead of the Australian driver.
"My target is not to beat 'Bargs', my target for the weekend is to win all three races and that will take care of him." says a boisterous Nick Ross who is eager to get back into the Holden.
At the opening round of the series it became clear that the competition between Ross and Bargwanna would not only be close but very tough and aggressive as well.
With the pair swapping the lead several times throughout the weekend's racing there was also some minor contact on a couple of occasions while dicing for victory which brought about some breathtaking moments for the onlookers.
More of the same can be expected from this weekend's racing and next as the NZV8 Touring Cars brings huge excitement to the South Island with two rounds held back to back.
The NZV8 Touring Cars hit Invercargill's iconic Teretonga Park this weekend over the 11-12th January which is followed by round three at Timaru International Motor Raceway over the 18-19th.
The V8 powered action begins with qualifying Saturday morning followed by the Top 10 Shootout.
The first race of the weekend is held Saturday afternoon with the action heating up on Sunday with another two action packed races.
Nick Ross competes in the Total Lubricants Holden Commodore which is a New Generation NZV8 and in the top level NZV8 Touring Cars TL class.
The NZV8 Touring Cars are a two class series consisting of the New Generation NZV8 race cars and are open to various manufacturers rather than just Ford and Holden. Currently the faster TLX class hosts three manufacturers including Holden, Ford and Toyota with Nissan and a yet undisclosed European brand set to join the series in the near future.
The TL class is made up of Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon race cars built to the NZV8 Championship's previous specifications.

With winter right around the corner, replacing your vehicle's all-season tires with a set of dedicated winter tires is the best way to go. All-season tires are a compromise intended to provide acceptable traits under a wide variety of conditions. The all-season tire tread designs and compounds that are engineered to provide extended mileage and durability in the summer are less effective in winter's freezing temperatures, and through snow and on ice. And to help with your decision on which snow tire to choose, take a look at the following performance categories:
Performance Winter / Snow
This category is for drivers who are looking for enhanced dry road handling from their tires and are willing to trade some snow and ice traction to get it. These low profile, H- or V-speed rated tires (perfect for sporty imported and domestic cars) are developed to suit winter driving on European highways. Due to their unique designs these tires must be installed in sets of four.
Studless Ice and Snow
Designed for drivers that want to maximize snow and ice traction without the inconvenience of using winter tire studs, these tires feature the latest compound technology to provide winter traction. You'll trade a little handling to get this excellent ice and snow traction, though.
Studdable Winter / Snow
These tires feature snow tire tread compounds and studdable tread designs for good snow and ice traction. It is important to note that studdable winter tires are often prohibited or restricted in some states; check with local authorities to confirm legality.
Still have questions about the benefits of winter tires? Take a look at "Winter Tire FAQs."

MetService News Release
Monday, 12 May 2014
A changeable week
This week is shaping up to be one of those where we all get a chance to have some dry and wet weather as weather systems cross New Zealand.
A band of cloud and rain is set to cross the remainder of the South Island during Monday and the North Island on Tuesday and Wednesday. "ForMonday, the wettest weather looks set to be on the West Coast of the South Island as a frontal system moves slowly northwards, while the place to be for the start of the week is the east coast of the North Island, with fine, dry and warm conditions for the likes of Gisborne and Hawke's Bay" meteorologist John Law said.
However, from midweek, an area of low pressure lingers off the east coast of the North Island, making Gisborne and Hawke's Bay cloudier and wetter. Meanwhile, another ridge of high pressure slides across the South Island on Wednesday bringing the return of some drier and brighter weather with it.
During the second half of the week, the area of higher pressure looks set to push back across the remainder of the country from the Tasman Sea allowing most spots to enjoy some drier weather for a time.

Taylor, Bean & Whitaker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday under a new management team vowing to salvage what it can from the severely crippled home mortgage lender.
On Aug. 5, Taylor Bean abruptly laid off 2,000 employees nationwide, including 1,000 in its Ocala headquarters, after the Federal Housing Administration suspended its authority to issue FHA-insured loans.
Left in the wake of the collapse were thousands of confused homeowners unsure where to send mortgage payments, a small number of Taylor Bean staffers still on the job in Ocala and an array of state and federal authorities trying to sort out the mess of an $80 billion mortgage portfolio.
After a couple of tumultuous weeks, Taylor Bean has begun regrouping.
With the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision late last week, Taylor Bean's board accepted two new outside board members who the company says have "extensive experience in restructuring distressed businesses." Another outsider, Neil Luria of Navigant Capital Advisors, was named chief restructuring officer.
After the new board members were approved, the entire current board resigned, including board chairman and longtime Taylor Bean leader Lee Farkas.
"Everyone wanted the assurance of complete independence in administering the bankruptcy proceeding," said David Dantzler, a partner with Troutman Sanders, an Atlanta law firm involved with the bankruptcy.
Taylor Bean, which was the country's third-largest issuer of FHA-insured loans, listed assets and debts of more than $1 billion each in paperwork at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Jacksonville. The 101-page filing includes names of more than 1,000 creditors.
The Florida Office of Financial Regulation said last week that Taylor Bean has 60 days to transfer servicing of existing loans to other approved lenders. Bank of America will service the company's FHA-insured loans.
Under Chapter 11, Taylor Bean plans to continue operating on a scaled-down basis "and begin the work of recovering, restructuring and possibly liquidating its assets," its attorneys said in a statement.
But they're not closing the door completely on a comeback. Taylor Bean has already appealed the Freddie Mac termination and it intends to appeal the Housing and Urban Development Department and Ginnie Mae terminations this month. It's also trying to resolve cease-and-desist orders from financial regulators in Florida and other states.
"I think everybody recognizes that restructuring Taylor Bean as it once existed is a long shot, but today no options have been foreclosed completely," Dantzler said.
In a statement, the company placed some of the recent confusion over loan processing directly on Colonial Bank, the Alabama institution that failed a week ago and for years was Taylor Bean's primary bank.
"On or about Aug. 6, 2009, approximately 100 Taylor Bean bank accounts were frozen by Colonial Bank," Taylor Bean said.
"This action created myriad problems in processing borrower payments and making payments on their behalf — such as homeowner's insurance premiums and real estate taxes."
Taylor Bean said it's in talks with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the receiver for Colonial Bank, on how to gain access to Colonial accounts to help individual borrowers.

Johannesburg - The General Council of the Bar of SA (GCB) has called on South African authorities to intervene to stop the death sentence of a pregnant woman in Sudan.
"Members of the international community cannot allow Sudan to continue to breach International Law and basic human rights norms in the manner illustrated by this case," GCB chairman Ishmael Semenya in a statement.
"The GCB is of the view that the South African government, through diplomatic measures, must try to persuade the Sudanese authorities to overturn (the) sentence in furtherance of these principles.
Mariam Ishag, 27, lives in Sudan, and has been sentenced to death for not coverting to Islam. Her mother, who brought her up, is not a Muslim but her estranged father is Muslim.
Ishag, who is married to a non-Muslim, has a 20-month-old baby and is eight months pregnant.
She is currently being detained and her death sentence can only be carried out when her baby has been born and after she had breastfed the baby for two years.
While in detention, she will receive 100 lashes for living with a man from another religion.

Fat Loss Guide is like an "eating habits" encyclopedia. It shows the composition on carbohydrats, proteins and fats of different kind of food and explains you what every group contributes to in your body. This way, you will be able to balance your macronutrients, count your calories, set the exercise you have to do depending on your needs, and much more. What's more, it includes a list of well-known diets (Atkins, South Beach, Paleo and many more).
Fat Loss Guide is the app that will help you to take the right eating decisions. It will show you substitution foods in case you don't like your diet a food chart, exercise routines... Learn and challenge yourself. It's time to achieve it for once and for all.
It has to be said that the guide is quite complete, didactic, with photos of the good and pictures of the exercise. However, it will help you to know what to do, but it won't make you loss weight by itself. Your power of will is essential. The main flaw is that it's paid and we think this kind of app should be free. Anyway, it's affordable ($0.99).
Fat Loss Guide has been developed by Figspops, a developer focused on self-help apps regarding alternative medicine, fitness, emotions, and many other issues.

Natalie Portman was recently spotted getting up close and personal with Gael Garcia Bernal during a night out in London

The twosome was spotted getting up close and personal during a night out in London and it is claimed that Natalie was seen teasing the man with her sexy dance-floor moves during a flirtatiously dancing together.
A source said as quoted "Looking at them you'd never guess they had split up. They were dancing very closely and looked like a couple. Everyone in the room watching them thought they were an item. Gael was overheard telling Natalie how stunning she looked." Though, their getting back together remains unclear as none of them speaks confirmation about that matter.

Get Paid To Shop         A Shadow Shopper Company
Why do we pay you to go shopping? Because our clients want us to! Business and government want to know their customers' experience.
Shadow shopping is the only way they can find out. It's also called mystery shopping or secret shopping. So YOU can GET PAID TO SHOP!
So what actually happens?
Shadow Shopping is also called mystery shopping or secret shopping. A shopper poses as a 'real' customer, and then checks out the business, government agency or other organisation.
Shadow shoppers could be checking a website, a call centre or actually visiting a store or offices. The shopper is briefed on where to go, what to do and what to say. They are also briefed on what to buy if they have to make a purchase. Afterwards, they fill out a report on their customer experience.
So why do businesses do it?
It's the only way that they can find out how their customers are treated. Mystery shopping has been around for over 80 years, although people tend to think that it is a modern thing.
Businesses use the reports to improve their operations and make their customer experience better, so it is important the reports are reliable and informative. Businesses often use it to find out about their conpetitors. Frequently, the business or organisation has no idea that they are being shopped and that information is being collected about them.
So businesses are checking up on their staff?
Yes and no. Many businesses run employee incentive programs based on Get Paid To Shop reports. They use them to change the way they deal with customers to give them a better experience.
But its not just that. Many businesses use Get Paid To Shop (GPTS) to find out all about their competitors. They pay to send shadow shoppers into other businesses, businesses that they don't own. And these businesses are quite unaware that they are being shopped, and that information is being gathered about them.
To beat your competition you need to know what they are offering and how they are treating their customers. And work out what you can do better.
For more information check out How GPTS Works
How does it work? It's when a shadow shopper, posing as a 'real' customer, checks out a business and reports on their experience.
And they get paid for it? It sounds too good to be true, but it really happens. Get Paid To Shop has been mystery shopping for over 12 years.
How do I get shopping jobs?
When there is a shopping job in your area, and you meet the profile of the shopper required, we email and SMS you telling you that you have an assignment. The assignment will tell you all about the job:
The business and its website
The location (premises, website or Call Centre)
When it has to be done
What you have to do
What you have to buy
You can accept the job, or if you can't do it you can decline it and we will give it to another shopper. We don't have Job Boards where the assignments go to the people who grab them first. All our jobs are individually assigned and if we offer you a job you have been specially selected for it.
How much will I get paid?
You are not going to get on the Rich List from shadow shopping, but it's a fun way to make some extra money. After all, you are going shopping anyway, so why not get paid for it?
You will be paid $15 - $25 for a 10 - 15 minute phone call, and $30 - $45 for most retail visits. If you have to buy anything then we refunded you (and usually you get to keep the goods - especially if you have just eaten them!).
Other jobs can pay more depending on how long they take. Our highest paying job is $195 for making a phone call, a 1 hour visit and a follow up phone call. So you see that its not going to get you into the millionaire category, but the extra money can come in very handy!
When do I get paid?
The payroll gets run on the last day of the month and assignments done during that month, and receipts received during that month get paid then also. We need you to scan and email your receipts if you want to be reimbursed.
The Get Paid To Shop guarantee: If you do an assignment for us then we will pay you. Absolutely guaranteed. We always pay. In all these years we have NEVER missed paying our shoppers and we are VERY proud of that.
For more information check out our FAQ
So what are you waiting for? It's free. It's fun. It's for real. We've been shadow shopping since 2004, we've NEVER missed paying our shoppers.
Who can be a shopper? All sorts of people. Everyone is a customer. It costs nothing to be a shadow shopper and get shopping jobs.
No fees ever. That's a promise. We never ask you for money. We always pay. Guaranteed! We've never missed paying our shoppers.
What kind of people are shadow shoppers?All kinds of people. Male or female, young or not-so-young, with a partner or family or living by yourself. People with children or people with no children, people with pets or with no pets. People with cars, people who rely on public transport. People who own their own home, people who rent their home. And more.
All different kinds of people are on the GPTS (Get Paid To Shop) database. The only thing they MUST have is a mobile phone and internet access so that we can contact them, and they can fill out their reports.
Why do you need different people?
Businesses have different customer profiles. Some have a very specific customer profile (like bridal shops, or gyms specialising in body building) others have a more general customer profile (like airlines or banks).
So What Kinds of Shoppers are They Looking for?
It varies depending on the business. For example:
A swimwear shop will target females - no point sending in a guy!
A chain of gyms specialising in body building may specify a male aged 25 - 45
A childcare centre wants a shopper who is a parent of young children
We know from experience that most males won't go and have their legs waxed!
A pet shop checking their service would need someone with a cat or dog
Bridal wear stores usually stipulate females between 25 and 45
To check a carwash you need a car!
Some financial services target the over 45s - no point sending in a teenager.
Other businesses target the full range of customers. For example:
Banks - everyone has a bank account, whether young or old
Lunch bars - everyone eats lunch (although some target particular age groups)
Hotels - everyone stays at hotels (although some target business people or family groups)
Airlines - everybody flies!
Get Paid to Shop matches every shopping job with a shopper of the same profile as the target customer. That's why we need different kinds of people.
Watch out for SCAMS!
There are mystery shopping scams about. There are always unscrupulous people using the Internet to prey on others. To stay safe:
Never click on an unsolicited email offering you 'guaranteed' shopping jobs.
Never pay for a 'mystery shopping certificate'. There is no industry standard course, no matter what some apparently reputable organisations claim.
Never pay for shopping jobs. Ever.
And if you receive a cheque with instructions to cash it, tear it up immediately or report it to the police. You will be left out of pocket, plus possibly becoming involved in money laundering
To read more about mystery shopping scams read How to Spot a Mystery Shopping Scam and how the Mystery Shopping Cheque Scam works.
Anywhere! Shadow Shopper is the ideal work from home job. We email and SMS paid shopping jobs nearby. If you buy anything we refund you.
You have instructions on where to go and what to do, then you fill out an online report about your experience and get paid to shop!
Shadow Shoppers are Everywhere!
People often think that shadow shoppers are only in fast food outlets checking that they are asked 'Do you want fries with that?'
It's WAY more than that. Yes, we shop retail outlets and restaurants, cafes and fast food chains. But we also check out all sorts of businesses and organisations. We have shopped government agencies, not for profit organisations, professional services, childcare centres, International Arts Festivals, beauty salons. In fact, anything with customers!
Often the business doesn't know it is being shopped!
We've checked whether liqour outlets sell to 18 - 19 year olds without ID. We've positioned shadow shoppers outside retail outlets to see how many customers they have and whether they buy anything. We've checked whether businesses are charging too much for credit card purchases. We've checked whether pharmacists follow their guidelines.
In all of these cases the business didn't know they were being shadow shopped. To see some of the places we have shopping jobs watch our slideshow.
When can I start? First, read our online Certification Course which tells you all about being a shadow shopper. Its free, and you do it at your pace.
Then do the online Certification Test, fill out your profile and you're ready to start doing shopping jobs for Get Paid to Shop
The GPTS Certification Course
At GPTS we have the best shadow shoppers in Australia. To be able to say this, we have to make sure that our shoppers know what to do and how to react in any situation that might happen. So we have created the Certification Course which takes you through everything you need to know about to be a successful shadow shopper.

I've passed the Test - what next?
Then you fill out your shopper profile so that we can match you with jobs. It will ask you for information about yourself (age range, gender, etc), living arrangements (married, with partner, live alone, etc) whether you have children or pets, and some consumer preferences (how often you eat out, stay in hotels etc)
Once you have done that everything's in place. We will email and SMS you when there are jobs in your area.

text: 1. The most frequent problem encountered is salt inhibition. DNA preparations can have high salt concentrations. If the volume of DNA added to the reaction is a high percentage of the total volume, salt can inhibit cutting. Increasing the reaction volume may help. The DNA may need to be ethanol precipitated and washed with 70% ethanol to reduce the salt. Drop dialysis is the most effective way of reducing the salt. 2. High pH will inhibit SacI. 3. Supercoiled plasmids may require up to 5-fold more SacI for complere digestion than linear DNA. 4. SacI is inhibited by common clinical anticoagulants found in some preparation of anticoagulated peripheral blood and bone marrow. Levels of EDTA and ACD (citric acid-sodium citrate-dextrose) in standard sample preparation have been shown to inhibit SacI. Three times the normal concentration for hearin is required to inhibit SacI. (Rebase ref# 2886 Coad, J.e., Lander, T.A., Litz, C.E. "Inhibition of restriction endonucleases by common clinical anticoagulants" Anal. Biochem. 205: 368-369 (1992).)

I've been stewing on this for a while now, and it's about time I got some of my ideas down. I really want a Mass Effect spin off featuring stealth gameplay with Thane Krios and Kasumi Goto. Here's some of the rough ideas I have. Please leave your feedback.
Stealth Gameplay
Personally, when it's done right, stealth gameplay is my favourite. The feeling of satisfaction received when realizing that I've sneaked my way across the entire prison block without anyone noticing or crept my way through the jungle without drawing attention is a feeling one doesn't get everyday. I totally love stealth gameplay for the emotions that it triggers (satisfaction and power). I couldn't think of anything better than ninja-like performing takedowns and sneaking my way through missions with Thane using his knife and silent pistol as tools. Thane and stealth gameplay mechanics are a match supposed to be together.
Kasumi Goto Companionship
Thane's character hardly screams leadership and power, right? So, setting Thane up like Sheaperd - leader of an entire squad - wouldn't work for him. He's more of a tactician who gets the job done independently. However, an entire squad no, but I do think this dream Thane spin off would benefit with a sidekick. Having Kasumi Goto (ME2's master thief) in the game to accompany Thane would help the game. Her presence can be used when making decisions as well as gameplay benefits. She could also be an optional playable character. If players had the option to use either Thane or Kasumi at the beginning of each mission, how much replayability and variety would that give the game?
I'm not great when coming up with original storylines, but this is just a brief outline of how I'd like things to go down in Thane and Kasumi's spin off. The game's storyline can pick up from ME3 or along the lines of (Cerberus closed down, Reapers gone,). Thane and Kasumi are working for The Alliance on a project which involves eventually infiltrating a rogue officer's secret base and shutting down his operation of exposing Alliance intel. However the duo get tied up in this officers personal life and backstory, his family get involved and the whole thing becomes expanded and turns off course.
The Verdict
There's a huge market for stealth games. Recent stealth games Dishonored, Hitman: Absolution, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, all sold above 1.25 million units worldwide. Combining the Mass Effect fanbase and the eager stealth gamers then giving them a package which really excels the stealth genre surly isn't a bad thing, right?

I got my Motorola droid yesterday. I activated it, then tried to charge it. The battery symbol at the top just had a ? on it. It does not appear to be charging. I turn it OFF then plug it in and it comes turns ON. Also the white light next to the USB charger is not on, it goes on for like 1 seconds then its off. I did install the new update. Does anyone know what might be the problem? I can't figure it out and may have to take it to a verizon store.
Although it is recommended that you fully charge the phone before using it for the first time, I'm not sure this could have caused your issue. Have you tried charging it using the USB cable and a computer? Could be a defective charger which would explain the ? over the battery symbol. You might also want to try popping the battery out and reinserting it.

Criminal Activity and Social Networking Websites
Locate a Local Criminal Lawyer
What's a Social Networking Website?
A social networking website allows users to communicate online with other friends, family, and acquaintances. Most social network sites allow a person to post personal information such as their age, birth date, name, etc. Many of them also allow users to post photographs and videos of themselves online.
Social network websites also frequently provide a chat function that allows users to chat in a manner similar to texting. Because of the great deal of private information that such websites maintain, there have been many concerns raised regarding crime and privacy.
While most of these sites are password-protected, they have frequently become the target of hacking and other types of cyber crimes. Also, there is debate as to whether information from these sites can be used as evidence in criminal trials.
What Types of Crimes are Involved in Social Network Web Sites?
Many types of new crimes have arisen in connection with social network websites. A user should be aware of the information that they provide on such websites, as they can sometimes be accessed by various criminal means. Some examples of these crimes are:
- Identity theft
- Scams and fraud schemes
- Cyber bullying resulting in emotional distress
- Sexual assault (many assaulters use a fake online identity to obtain an in-person meeting with a victim)
- Sexting crimes (sending illicit photos or videos online) - may lead to child pornography charges if the users are underage.
- Crimes based on information gathered from websites, especially home robberies committed after the family posted their vacation information
A main issue with social network websites is that the laws regulating this area have not yet been fully standardized. Also, it can be difficult for parents to monitor the activities of their children who visit such websites.
Can Information from a Social Network Website be Used in a Criminal Trial?
Many lawyers and even judges have begun obtaining information from social network websites for use as evidence in trial. Again, this has caused much debate; however, the general consensus is that such information can be used as evidence in court, sometimes without the person's approval.
For example, it is possible for a defendant's alibi to be seriously weakened if there is contradictory evidence found on a social website (even if it is not their own account).
Message posts, status updates, photographs, and even login times have been used in various ways in court to prove or disprove a legal theory. Employers often use such information in workplace dispute lawsuits.
What Can I Do to Prevent Social Network Crimes?
If you are currently using a social website, there are many steps you can take to protect yourself and your affiliates from online crimes. Some suggested tips are:
- Utilize the website's privacy settings. Your information is usually viewable to the public, but you can disable public access to your account.
- Do not post important information such as your date of birth, address, e-mail account, or phone number. Such information can be used elsewhere, for example in a credit fraud scheme. You may also wish to use a name other than your legal name.
- Do not post photographs or videos of yourself if you are unsure of how they may be used if obtained by an unauthorized party.
- Do not respond to suspicious ads, notifications, or messages. Delete them without opening them.
- Do not engage in chats or messaging with unfamiliar persons.
- Be sure to delete any accounts that you are no longer interested in using.
It's definitely not worth it to endanger yourself or your loved ones through the use of social networking websites. While they have become a common way to communicate, be sure that you exercise caution when using these websites.
Do I Need a Lawyer for Social Networking Website issues?
If you have any disputes at all in connection with a social networking website, you may wish to contact a lawyer for advice. As mentioned, this area of law is relatively new and may vary according to jurisdiction. An attorney can assist you in filing a claim or representing you in court if necessary.

The Physiotherapy UK 2012 conference was in Liverpool this weekend. As I'm now in New York, I couldn't make it to defend the poster of my research, but I left that task in the capable hands of my second author. Unfortunately, she had some serious family issues arise that demanded her attention back in Leeds. The third author was already home with a broken ankle.
Would this mean that the poster would be removed when nobody was there to defend it on Saturday? Would nobody wind up seeing my first piece of research after all? As they say in northern England, I was "gutted" at that prospect.
Thank goodness another physio from our unit was going to the conference. Although she wasn't an author on the research, she is familiar enough with the content to answer questions about it. I've been told that people "were amazed with our results" and "couldn't wait" to see the results from our ongoing study. I'd call that a fairly good outcome! I think I owe her a pint (or more) when I return to the UK for Thanksgiving!
On funny note, my current boss thinks this article in the New York Times was written about me. To which I responded, "Quite."
Karen, ask our editor for my personal email and I'll be happy to forward a copy of the abstract and the poster.
Thanks for asking, I'm honoured!
Is there any way we can get access to seeing your research? I'm intrigued, yet I don't know what it is you've done. Please let me know! I feel the need to read MORE :)
