Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
1. Is the warrant still active from 1997? if it has been 16 years ago.
2. Do I have to go back to clear this warrant? Or can a defense attorney have it removed for me?
3. How likely is this matter to be dismissed? If it is since 1997
4. Do I hire an attorney from Nevada or a long distance attorney from Chelsea,
1) Warrants don't really expire generally.
2) It would be a good idea.
3) Hard to say.
4) I would call an attorney in Mass.
This is AVVO, a place for users to obtain general legal information to general legal questions. I am glad to help you in any way I can, within those limits. I wish to make clear I am only communicating with you for the sole purpose of exchanging such general information, and nothing more. It is not legal advice, which I can not provide because among other reasons I know few of the necessary details of your situation. I do not purport to represent you in any way, shape or form. Of course, if you would like to seek out my services, and if you are a NY resident, I will probably not put up very much resistance but representation would still necessitate a signed retainer agreement between yourself and I. Thank you.Ask a similar question
Warrants don't just go away with the simple passage of time. It is probably still active which technically means you can be arrested at any time. Generally speaking you would have to go back to court to clear the warrant but in some jurisdictions depending on what the charge is for an attorney may be able to resolve the matter without your personal appearance. Whether the case will be dismissed or not will depend on a variety of factors that could only be determined after reviewing the facts and circumstances. You would need a Massachusetts attorney to handle this for you.Ask a similar question
GET a Mass lawyer, or if you are in a traffic stop you may be arrested and:
An extradition warrant is issued for the arrest and custody of an accused fugitive and it surrenders him/her to a demanding state or country. An extradition warrant from the governor is necessary to extradite a fugitive. On the issuance of a warrant, a demanding state obtains authority to take a fugitive and try him/her under its jurisdiction.
The Uniform Criminal Extradition Act and the Uniform Extradition and Rendition Act require a governor who receives a valid request for extradition to issue a warrant for the arrest and extradition of the fugitive. The governor can delegate the task of signing of the warrant[i].
An extradition warrant authorizes a law enforcement officer or a person to whom it is directed to arrest a fugitive at any time, any place where s/he may be found. An arrested fugitive is to be brought before a judge before handing him/her to an agent of a demanding state.

A-LEVEL art student, Alice Vaughan, from Addingham, has received her first commission from Ilkley butcher, David Lishman, to produce two Tour artworks for the Yorkshire Sausage ambassador's Reet Grand Party on Saturday 5 July.
Alice, who painted the sausage champion's shop as part of her year 13 showcase, has transformed a red brick wall in Lishman's car park, where the Grand Départ party will be held, to reveal a larger than life pig on two wheels.
The wall art will also be complemented by a large-scale design on the car park floor, featuring the #YorkshireSausage hashtag, which the Tour de France television helicopters will pick up as they follow the peloton from above.
Speaking about the creative collaboration, David said: "Alice is a hugely talented young artist so we were delighted when she accepted our challenge to paint the car park for the Reet Grand Party. Her cycling French pig is great fun and will be a fantastic talking point at our all-day Tour barbecue."
Ilkley Grammar school student Alice, along with her classmate, Ilkley-based Lilian Baldwin who helped Alice paint the wall, will begin art foundation courses at Leeds College of Art in September having now completed their A-level exams.
Speaking about her grand commission, Alice said: "I was so pleased David liked my A-level exhibition piece. Lishman's is a bit of an Ilkley institution so it was quite daunting to paint the shop but thankfully, it worked out well.
"The Grand Départ commission for the shop's Reet Grand Party has definitely been a challenge to work on as I've never produced something on as large a scale as this before. Thanks to Lilian though, we got there in the end and I'm really pleased with our larger than life cycling pig.
"I hope the paintings help Lishman's become a Tour highlight in the town and that everyone has chance to pop down to the BBQ for peak at the pig and to try out the sizzling food too."
Lishman's Reet Grand Party will get underway in the shop's rear car park from 08.00 on Saturday 5 July. Customers can expect Lishman's famous sausages and burgers plus, for a taste of France, there will also be rotisserie chickens and pommes frites. The shop will also stay open until 19.00 on Thursday 3 July and on Friday 4th July, a BBQ will take place to the front of the shop.
For all the latest updates and news from Lishman's, follow @Butcher_Dlish on Twitter using the hashtag #YorkshireSausage. For further information, follow on Facebook or visit www.lishmansonline.co.uk

POP MUSIC; The Return of the Punk Girl Native
Published: August 28, 1994
For five years, three young women from Minneapolis crisscrossed the country in a dented, wheezing van in search of punk rock clubs willing to give their band, Babes in Toyland, a chance to play. In a new book, "Babes in Toyland: The Making and Selling of a Rock-and-Roll Band," Neal Karlen recounts the threesome's rise from garage band to their discovery by Warner Brothers Records. In this excerpt, the band returns home triumphant with a spot on the 1993 Lollapalooza tour.
IT WAS MINUTES BEFORE show time, and the three members of Babes in Toyland were pretending not to hear the sound of 40,000 stomping feet that was shaking their dressing room in the bowels of the sold-out St. Paul Civic Center. The group had been truly famous for only two weeks since they'd joined Lollapalooza so sometimes they forgot they'd alchemized into the most lionized female rock band on the planet. Living inside Lollapalooza's traveling cocoon, the Babes had barely begun synthesizing the fact that they were suddenly known.
Never mind that Babes in Toyland were pictured in recent days on the covers of USA Today and Entertainment Weekly. They hadn't even yet processed that Beavis and Butt-head, the animated nitwits of MTV's top-rated show, had just screened their video and given the band their highest on-air recommendation: "They're cool! These girls rock!"
Awaiting the knock on the door signaling it was time to go on stage, the guitarist Kat Bjelland distractedly flipped through the latest issue of Melody Maker, the British Rolling Stone, which bore a picture of Babes in Toyland on the cover. Across the room, the bassist Maureen Herman put a bookmark in Aldous Huxley's "Doors of Perception" and began pacing. Meantime, the drummer Lori Barbero was telling an interviewer from an East Coast daily how exciting it was to finally have a boyfriend "who has a job and pays his own rent."
Finally, the knock came. Lori, Kat and Maureen nodded silently and began the walk down the hallway to the darkened stage. Nobody could see anything, but the noise from the audience was shaking the floor. The lights went up to reveal the band, and as the first notes clanged off Kat's electric guitar, the crowd pulsated in a human contraction that rippled several hundred yards back into the auditorium.
"Thanks for coming to see us," Kat said at the end of the song, looking out into the dark over the massed thousands. Tuning her guitar, she turned to Lori atop the drum high-rise. Pointing her head to the crowd of 20,000, she asked, "Who are these people?" ($; Copyright 1994 by Neal Karlen. Times Books)

Commerce 'failing in its duty over white van man'
THE Commerce and Employment Department board would be facing a vote of no confidence were it not for the closeness to a general election.
THE Commerce and Employment Department board would be facing a vote of no confidence were it not for the closeness to a general election.
JOB losses across all sectors of business have not led to a big rise in the number of unemployed people in the island, which demonstrates the strength of the Guernsey economy, the Commerce and Employment minister has said.
A RETAIL strategy, new animal welfare laws and further exploring renewable energy are just some of Commerce and Employment's key priorities for this year.
A MAJOR crackdown on local medical practices that fix prices could happen this year.
GUERNSEY'S new foundations legislation will come into force next week, it has been confirmed.
CHARITIES can protect their intellectual property in the islands for free – and it might even make them money.
TRAVELLING tradesmen who undercut local industry could have their vehicles impounded or be fined unless they apply for a licence under plans being investigated by Commerce and Employment.
SUNDAY trading will not be back on the political agenda in the next few years, the new Commerce and Employment Department has decided - because members fear that they cannot get it right.

With Halloween around the corner, parents may be searching for ghost stories to tell their children. Scouring the Internet can bring up some interesting local results.
What area history goes with the tall tales to create these stories?
One website shares a tale about a haunting specter — a Civil War veteran — at the Immanuel Lutheran Church's cemetery.
But the Rev. Robert Wagner, the church's pastor, hasn't heard the story and doesn't know anyone who has. He wasn't surprised the tale revolving around the church's grave sites was created by area residents.
"We are one of the oldest cemeteries in the area, and we have some Civil War people buried here," Wagner said. "It has some of the oldest stones that they don't make any more, and they do look neat."
The church's cemetery is the final resting place for people who died as early as 1865 and as recently as 2011. It sits outside the church's chapel and fellowship hall.
It is a small cemetery reserved for those who were church members, Wagner said. Among the graves, rest several children who died of yellow fever, as well as soldiers and others.
"The oldest stones would be in the southwest corner," he said.
It is the same spot that the Civil War veteran ghost story references — the last row and the left corner of the cemetery, and a Civil War plaque sits one row up from the oldest location.
County courthouse
Coryell County Historical Commission member Bobbie Thornton has heard the story of Elroy, a ghost that supposedly dwells in the basement of the county courthouse. Deputy County Clerk Tammy McAfee said she has felt Elroy wandering in the basement while she worked.
"It has been kind of folklore that there is this ghost in the basement," McAfee said. "There will be this cold breeze that comes through the office, and just one of us will feel it. It is a very isolated thing that will happen out of the cold blue sky."
Others told McAfee it is probably an open door on the upper levels of the courthouse, but the randomness of its occurrence led a maintenance employee in the 1980s to name the ghost Elroy.
"Elroy, he has been there for years and years and years," said Thornton, noting his origins could stem from the basement, which probably housed the county jail.
"We do think at one time the prisoners were held within the courthouse, because there are windows down there with iron bars," Thornton said.
There is a lot of history that took place in the Coryell County Courthouse, McAfee said.
Thornton said Elroy could stem from another story dating back to 1908 and ended with the death of three people in 1909.
In 1908, Verna Ware was dating a druggist named John Haynes. One day, they were on a picnic, said Thornton. Haynes drugged her chocolate to seduce her, which was the accusation back then.
Ware had a child and in 1909, Haynes went on trial for the charges.
At that time, people could stand in a rotunda and watch the trials, which is where Ware stood with her brother and sister as Haynes sat before the judge, Thornton said.
While Haynes was on the stand, Ware pulled a gun from outside and shot several times. She killed Haynes, John Smith and Dave Ross and wounded a fourth man.
"The reason the (four were shot) was because her brother and sister were standing beside her jerking her arms and she wouldn't let go of the trigger so she sprayed the whole courtroom," Thornton said.
Thornton's story of Ware was confirmed by County Judge John Firth, who also said Ware was later tried for the incident but released.
"That is definitely a true story; her former fiancee was being tried in a district courtroom and she took retribution on him for his past crimes against her," Firth said.
Elroy could very well be one of those people, Thornton said.

In a significant manufacturing expansion, the Carson City, Nevada-based brand will open a new plant in the Dominican Republic in late July 2012 that will provide access to more than 300 million metric tons of material from one of the purest sources of natural calcium carbonate in the world. The facility will allow Coral LLC to increase production to 60,000 metric tons per year while reducing costs to remain competitively priced.
"This new growth and partnership is extremely exciting for Coral LLC, as it allows us to supply one of the most high-quality, superiorly pure products in the calcium carbonate market, with no negative environmental impact," said Alberto Galdamez, marketing director.
Natural calcium carbonate is an extremely pure (>99% CaCO3) and the bioavailable compound derived from a biological process where marine polyps consumes calcium plus other organic minerals from the sea water and secretes them into a coral formation. In contrast to the limestone-derived calcium carbonates that make up the majority of the market, this natural, "animal-made" calcium carbonate offers a uniquely rich mineral makeup, minuscule amounts of heavy metals and its mining operations produce no environmental impact.
The product is primarily used for food fortification, health supplements, agriculture and animal feed.
Those interested in purchasing Coral LLC natural calcium carbonate can contact a company representative at email@example.com or (775) 883-9853.
Coral LLC, the leading brand of coral minerals, is the original coral mineral company in the U.S., using only eco-friendly "above-sea coral." The company is located at 38 Diamondback Way, Carson City, NV. To learn more about the complete line of products visit www.coralcalcium.com.

Illinois lawmakers call for hearings on phone record collections
Friday, May 12, 2006
WASHINGTON (CNS) - Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Peoria, said Thursday he is "very bothered" about a report that the National Security Agency has been secretly collecting phone records of tens of millions of Americans.
He and other Illinois lawmakers of both parties are calling for hearings to find out more about the program, reported in Thursday's USA Today.
A member of the House Intelligence Committee, LaHood said he had no knowledge of the program before reading the newspaper report.
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier Thursday, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said the committee should bring in the telephone companies for questioning.
"Currently, most members of Congress are somewhere between benign neglect and blissful ignorance when it comes to this administration's overreaching."
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., also called for an investigation.
"Congress should investigate these new revelations and Republicans and Democrats should agree that this surveillance program needs to be brought under legal oversight so that someone is watching the watchers and protecting the privacy of innocent Americans."
Rep. John Shimkus, R-Collinsville, who represents part of Springfield, agreed that Congress needs more information. But he said he didn't want to criticize the program until he heard more.
"We want it if it catches the bad guys. We don't want it if it impinges on our personal information. Is there a way to do both? I'm not sure and that's why hearings and more information will help us make that decision," Shimkus said in an interview.
"Woe be it for the public policy folks like me to say, 'Shut this program down,' and then something happens six months later," only to discover that "we had information in that database that could have stopped it," he said.
LaHood voiced concern about the reach of the program described by USA Today. Last year, both LaHood and Shimkus were generally supportive of President Bush's decision to allow warrantless eavesdropping on international phone calls and e-mails of people in the United States.
But on Thursday LaHood said that the phone record collection program described by USA Today "includes many more citizens than the wiretap program disclosed in December."

Crimes Against Logic, Part III
The Equivocation chapter rang some bells for me. All about defining terms and understanding what they mean. Perhaps that is why I go to the dictionary so often, just to make sure I understand what a certain word means. Unfortunately, that does not mean the person uttering the word intended that meaning. One of the examples in the book was poverty. I have an idea what poverty is - I'm sure you do to. So when a government released a study that 35% of the child in the country lived in poverty, it sounds pretty bad. Problem was, this was Britain -- and 35% of the children were living in poverty? Well, it turned out someone had redefined poverty, they defined it as any household that made less than 60% of the national median. Not exactly how I would define poverty - but it certainly grabs your attention doesn't it. The use of Marxism as another analogy was really good (and even easier to understand) as well.
The current chapter I'm on is coincidence. Very interesting, given that coincidence seems to happen so much in our industry. The section on Coincidental Healing - it was really about "Correlation is not Causation". Nice Latin quote in there:
After this, therefore because of this
Shaking my head up and down vigorously during this chapter. Oh where had I heard all of this before. New favorite chapter time This one wins.
The last two chapters are "Shocking Statistics" and "Morality Fever". This is the last I'll write about this book here, but I think I can see where those two are going. Should be a nice close.
So, let me ask you - any similar book recommendations out there? I can truthfully suggest this one, a very quick read. Well said I think. Don't take anything in there personally (he speaks of government, religion, homeopathic medicine and other things that can raise some peoples ire) and read it for what it is. A different way at looking at discussions, at how people present their evidence.

WASHINGTON (Jan. 5)
President Ford declared tonight that United States foreign policies will not be determined by any "highly articulate" or "very tightly organized pressure group of any kind" that is unrepresentative of American Society as a whole and because they "have a limited perspective or scope…can on occasion, tend to distort the circumstances and can hamper rather than help in the solution" of the problems at hand.
The President made those remarks in the course of an interview on a three-hour NBC television program devoted to U.S. foreign policy in 1976. A transcript of the pre-taped interview was made available to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
While Ford did not identify the "pressure groups," he referred to them in direct response to NBC reporter John Chancellor who asked for a comment on "some of the pressure groups we find both within the United Nations and as you see these pressure groups in foreign affairs, thinking, for example, of the influence of American Jews, of the growing influence of Arabs of various groups."
In the course of the interview, the President also sharply criticized what he considered undue Congressional interference in the Presidential foreign policy-making prerogatives. In that connection he referred, without mentioning by name to the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to the U.S. Trade Reform Act that linked U.S. trade benefits for the Soviet Union with that country's emigration practices.
"The action of Congress about a year ago has harmed the opportunity of many to immigrate from the Soviet Union," Ford said. "I noticed just the other day that the immigration from the Soviet Union is down this year including many reductions in the immigration of Soviet Jews from Russia. I think the action of Congress was harmful in that regard."
The President was surprisingly mild in his response to a question about U;S. relations with the UN, where it has suffered a series of diplomatic setbacks. "I believe that substantial progress was made…in the UN in the seventh special session late in 1975," he said. "That was a very constructive session of the UN which sought to bring together developing as well as the developed nations."
He conceded that "it is true that subsequent to that there were some very vitriolic debates; there were some very serious differences that developed in the UN from various pressed's groups."
Ford expressed hope that in the future "some of this conflict would subside and there would be a more constructive effort made to solve the problems, and since I am always an optimist– and I think that is important and necessary for a President to be that–I think that as we move in the UN in the future that we can calm some of the voices and get to some answers."
Ford added that "this country's foreign policy in the UN will be aimed in that direction, and if we follow what we did in the seventh special session and what we are trying to do now, I think these pressure groups will recognize that words are not the answer but solutions will be to the benefit of all parties concerned," the President said.
When asked if he thought that "organized pressure groups play a greater role now in terms of our foreign affairs or trying to influence them" than in the past, Ford replied: "To some degree, yes. I think highly organized, very articulate pressure groups can, on occasion, tend to distort the circumstances and can hamper rather than help in the solution.
"I don't believe those pressure groups necessarily represent the American people as a whole. So a President, myself included, has to look at the broader perspective and not necessarily in every instance respond to the pressure groups that are well-intentioned but who have a limited perspective or scope.
"And as we move ahead, we are going to try and predicate our foreign policy on the best interests of all the people in this country, as well as our allies and our adversaries, rather than to respond to a highly articulate, a very tightly organized pressure group of any kind. We cannot let America's policies be predicated on a limited part of our population or our society."

HOUSTON - Houston Rockets player Terrence Jones was arrested overnight, accused of stomping on a sleeping homeless man in Oregon.
Portland police say a sergeant patrolling the area saw a large group of people exit the Tube nightclub at 18 Northwest 3rd Avenue and spill out into the street and sidewalk.
While watching the group walk away from the bar, police say the sergeant observed Terrence Jones walk by a doorway where two homeless men were sleeping. According to police, Jones yelled, "Wake up," then raised his leg and stomped down on one of the men's legs.
Officers contacted Jones among the group of approximately eight people about a half a block away and took him into custody.
The victim, 46-year-old Daniel John Kellerher, received a minor leg injury and did not require immediate medical attention, police say.
Jones, 21, was transported to Central Precinct then to the Multnomah County Jail. He's charged with harassment.

Thyroid hormone affects glucose homeostasis with its actions between the skeletal muscle and liver and the altered oxidative and non-oxidative glucose metabolism. In our study three chemicals are considered biomarkers associated with oxidative stress for protein modifications were measured; 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyyguanosine (8-OHdG), a major lesion that can be generated by reactive oxygen species for DNA damage, protein carbonyl content (PCO), products of protein oxidation and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) a dithyrosine containing cross-linked protein products. The purpose of the recent study was to determine the effects of insulin and T(4) or their combination in diabetic, thyroidectomized, or diabetic-thyroidectomized rats and possible relations with oxidative DNA and protein damages. For this purpose, rats were assigned to eight groups: Group 1; control, Group 2; diabetes, Group 3; diabetes + insulin, Group 4; surgically thyroidectomized control, Group 5; thyroidectomized + diabetes, Group 6; thyroidectomized + diabetes + insulin, Group 7; thyroidectomized + diabetes + insulin + thyroid hormone, levothyroxin sodium, 2.5 mug/kg and Group 8; thyroidectomized + diabetes + insulin + thyroid hormone, levothyroxin sodium, 5.0 mug/kg for 5 weeks. After the genomic DNA of liver tissues was extracted, the ratio of 8-OHdG to deoxyguanosine and liver tissue protein oxidation markers was determined. The main findings of our recent study were the increased 8-OHdG levels during the diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypothyroidism with diabetes, which can be regulated in different percentages with the treatment of 2.5 and 5.0 mug/kg doses of thyroid hormone and the altered protein carbonyl and AOPP levels of liver tissue. Consequently, it was observed that the DNA and protein damage induced by oxidative stress in diabetes could be regulated by dose-dependent thyroid hormone-mediated effects to insulin treatment.

Thyroid Hormone Resistance Syndrome
An inherited autosomal recessive trait, characterized by peripheral resistance to THYROID HORMONES and the resulting elevation in serum levels of THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE. This syndrome is caused by mutations of gene THRB encoding the THYROID HORMONE RECEPTORS BETA in target cells. HYPOTHYROIDISM in these patients is partly overcome by the increased thyroid hormone levels.
Receptors, Thyroid Hormone
Specific high affinity binding proteins for THYROID HORMONES in target cells. They are usually found in the nucleus and regulate DNA transcription. These receptors are activated by hormones that leads to transcription, cell differentiation, and growth suppression. Thyroid hormone receptors are encoded by two genes (GENES, ERBA): erbA-alpha and erbA-beta for alpha and beta thyroid hormone receptors, respectively.
A hypermetabolic syndrome caused by excess THYROID HORMONES which may come from endogenous or exogenous sources. The endogenous source of hormone may be thyroid HYPERPLASIA; THYROID NEOPLASMS; or hormone-producing extrathyroidal tissue. Thyrotoxicosis is characterized by NERVOUSNESS; TACHYCARDIA; FATIGUE; WEIGHT LOSS; heat intolerance; and excessive SWEATING.
A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
Euthyroid Sick Syndromes
Conditions of abnormal THYROID HORMONES release in patients with apparently normal THYROID GLAND during severe systemic illness, physical TRAUMA, and psychiatric disturbances. It can be caused by the loss of endogenous hypothalamic input or by exogenous drug effects. The most common abnormality results in low T3 THYROID HORMONE with progressive decrease in THYROXINE; (T4) and TSH. Elevated T4 with normal T3 may be seen in diseases in which THYROXINE-BINDING GLOBULIN synthesis and release are increased.

In this past Saturday's 24-21 overtime loss to the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium, there was no bigger loss for the New York Giants than Stevie Brown's ACL tear after intercepting a Geno Smith pass; an injury that landed Brown on season-ending injured reserve.
Brown's teammate and cornerback Terrell Thomas knows very well how tough it is tearing the ACL, as he has torn it in two straight summers and hasn't played in a regular season game since the 2010 season. This week in practice, Thomas told Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News that he is ready to help Brown through his ACL injury anyway he can and makes sure Brown stays positive through the rehab process.
"It [stinks], but he is in high spirits. I saw him this morning, and he's in great spirits," Thomas said. "He'll get back in a year. He has to put in the work and he'll be able to."
It was kind of a bittersweet game for Thomas, as he was playing in his first game since the summer of 2011 when he tore his ACL for the first time against the Chicago Bears in a preseason game., but while Thomas was making his return to the NFL for the first time in two years, Brown's season was lost when he hit the turf with the injury; a feeling that Thomas knows all too well from the ACL tears of 2011 and 2012.
"He made a simple cut. I was hoping that it was a meniscus, that the turf caught his knee and it grabbed," Thomas said. "This game is so unpredictable … It sucks. He's a great dude. He'll overcome it."
Thomas is very confident that Brown will be back with the Giants and told him to enjoy the journey of recovering and coming back from the injury; one which will take about a year to rehab and recover from. Brown was a restricted free agent, but was tendered by the Giants and re-signed with them on a one-year, $2.02 million deal with the possibility of getting a long-term deal if he continued to play at a high level. With the knee injury, his plans for the future in the NFL and with the Giants have been put on temporary hold as he will spend the next year fighting to come back from a tough injuryl but having someone like Thomas will definitely be a plus to help him along the way.

A series of new calamitic liquid crystals, 6-methoxy-2-(4-alkanoyloxybenzylidenamino)benzothiazoles, comprising a benzothiazole core, terminal methoxy group and a Schiff base linkage were synthesised and characterised. This series comprises 12 members wherein members differ by the length of the alkanoyloxy chain (C n-1H2n-1COO-, where n?=?2–8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18). Their mesomorphic properties were studied by using differential scanning calorimetry, optical polarising microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction techniques. The short chain derivatives (n?=?2 and 3) were non-mesogenic compounds, while an enantiotropic nematic phase was present throughout the remaining members of the series. The smectic C phase emerged from the decanoyloxy derivative onwards.

DigiTimes reports that Apple has shelved its 12.9-inch iPad Pro project. According to the outlet, the reason is that large-size tablets "lack support from related platform developers and ecosystems", which implies many things. Perhaps these tablets need better productivity apps and other experiences that better utilize their screen space and justify their price premium.
Reportedly, Apple was planning 2K and 4K version of the iPad Pro, along with keyboard covers akin to Microsoft's Surface offerings. But the company hasn't, and isn't expected to comment on these rumors, as it has a strict "don't comment on rumors and speculations" policy.
So far, it's Samsung at the helm of Pro-sized tablets. Alas, even though Sammy's Galaxy Note Pro 12.2-inch behemoth is a great device, it can't be called a good deal for the money. The report rightfully notes that its price to performance ratio is weak compared to notebooks in its price range ($750+). Thus, the researchers estimate the tablet will achieve around one million shipments throughout 2014.
It seems that 2014 won't be the year of large-screen tablets – especially if Apple, a huge tablet vendor, is refusing to walk down this path. On the other hand, the popular 7 and 8-inch consumer slates will be incrementing their display diagonals little by little, as to better compete with premium offerings.
For example, DigiTimes predicts this year's Nexus tablet by Google will have an 8.9-inch display while retaining its low cost. If it succeeds at the market, the researchers believe that more tablet manufacturers will switch to selling upper mid-range devices.

Strikingly, Obama's allusions to the nation's asphyxiating debt and the entitlement programs driving it accounted for just 94 words of the 2,142 he spoke in his second inaugural – less than one percent of the speech. (Obama's section on climate change was twice as long.) Both times the president spoke of entitlements and deficits, Obama defended the programs but gave no hint at the steps he would take to address the rising debt.
The president's defenders explain that an inaugural isn't the place for specific policy proposals. Those will come in his State of the Union, they promise.
Perhaps, though there is little reason to believe Obama will provide details on deficit reduction beyond new ways to raise taxes on the wealthy. And other presidents have offered specific proposals in their inaugural addresses. Ronald Reagan used his second inaugural to call for a freeze in federal spending and balanced budget. Reagan lamented "almost unbroken 50 years of deficit spending" which brought the nation to "a turning point, a moment for hard decisions…If not us, who? And if not now, when?"
Reagan fell short of those objectives. But at least he acknowledged the growing threat presented by rising debt.

Ihave been a teller for 11 years up until July 08,2011 I have put out I don't know how many resumes at this point just failed the Bank of America Ass Test which is a joke. The same thing happened with Wachovia and they don't let you apply for another 6 months. It's funny I have been doing this job for 11 years but I guess that doesn't count for anything. It must be that personality test that counts for everything. What happened to filling out an application and sitting down with a real person and having a face to face interview?

text: Primoris Services Corporation (NASDAQ GS: PRIM) ("Primoris" or "Company") today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. The Company also announced that on February 24, 2012, its Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per share cash dividend to stockholders of record as of March 30, 2012, payable on or about April 16, 2012. Brian Pratt, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Primoris, commented, "We completed a very good quarter and a great year. Full year revenues of $1.5 billion were a record for our Company, as we benefitted from both organic growth and the favorable impact of prior year acquisitions. Despite one-time charges of $9.4 million recorded in the fourth quarter, our net income for both the fourth quarter and year improved significantly. We generated cash flow from operations of $40.1 million during 2011, and our balance sheet at December 31, 2011 included $143.3 million in cash and short-term investments and a debt to equity ratio of 37.4%. During the year, we increased our backlog from $895.8 million to $1.16 billion, a 30% organic increase." Mr. Pratt concluded, "Primoris is a group of specialized construction and infrastructure companies serving diverse end markets across the United States. At present, we are focused on projects and opportunities in underground pipeline integrity, in conventional and alternative energy industrial facilities, in heavy highway and bridge construction, and in underground pipelines. We intend to continue our emphasis on maintaining a strong balance sheet and on building upon our 65-year legacy of service and project success. As we enter 2012, macro-economic uncertainties persist; however, we are confident that we can continue to execute against our plan and are optimistic about our future opportunities." 2011 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS OVERVIEW Revenues for the 2011 fourth quarter rose 12% to $373.1 million from $333.2 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenues at the West Construction Services segment, led by the California-based Underground group at which revenues increased by $66.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2010. Gross profit for the 2011 fourth quarter rose by 16.5% to $51.0 million, or 13.7% of revenues, from $43.8 million, or 13.1% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Putting aside the fact that a skilled Mage possesses more abilities than countless superheroes or villains superpowers are very real.
A kid born with glowing see in the dark eyes as a result of radiation (yes all that stuff about radiation giving people super powers has a foothold in reality):
A guy who can pull a train with his teeth and a man born with skin that sticks to objects which allows him to do stuff like pull a car, the condition has been passed on to his children.
A guy who can touch electricity without being harmed:
Real life super strength:
"Myostatin is active in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) both before and after birth. This protein normally restrains muscle growth, ensuring that muscles do not grow too large. Mutations that reduce the production of functional myostatin lead to an overgrowth of muscle tissue. Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy has a pattern of inheritance known as incomplete autosomal dominance. People with a mutation in both copies of the MSTN gene in each cell (homozygotes) have significantly increased muscle mass and strength. People with a mutation in one copy of the MSTN gene in each cell (heterozygotes) also have increased muscle bulk, but to a lesser degree.
In 2004, a German boy was diagnosed with a mutation in both copies of the myostatin-producing gene, making him considerably stronger than his peers. His mother, a former sprinter, has a mutation in one copy of the gene.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
An American boy born in 2005 (Liam Hoekstra) was diagnosed with a clinically similar condition but with a somewhat different cause:[16] his body produces a functional myostatin, but a defect in his myostatin receptor makes his muscles not respond to the myostatin signal."
And of course the superhero genre originates from the real life exploits of spring heeled jack. As for supervillains this definitely qualifies:
"In May 2001, reports began to circulate in the Indian capital New Delhi of a strange monkey-like creature that was appearing at night and attacking people[1] . Eyewitness accounts were often inconsistent, but tended to describe the creature as about four feet (120 cm) tall, covered in thick black hair, with a metal helmet, metal claws, glowing red eyes and three buttons on its chest."
Then there's this guy:
"This month's normally shitty Rolling Stone magazine features a fascinating article about Matthew Weigman, a troubled teenager born blind whose preternatural hearing abilities allowed him to manipulate the phone system to moblize Swat teams, gain access to all levels of government, and extort fellow phreakers (pranksters and criminals who hack phones) in to doing his bidding, all while under the age of 18. His ablilites included super hearing, and an uncanny gift for mimic, including both voices and tones."

And some drinks.
I'm nervous. I don't wear a watch with any success, so I check my wrist every few heartbeats in the hopes that one materializes and solves my puzzle. Where is he? I remember that my phone can service this request. It's 7:15 p.m. He's late. It's the second week in January. I'm standing outside a dimly lit boutique food establishment in Brooklyn. Normally I prefer to see the food that I eat, but eating in the dark is all the rage and we must adhere to what is the rage. It's important to adhere to the rages of the moment. I brought a conveniently sized table candle from home just in case I struggle to adhere to the rage. My date for the evening has a very busy schedule, so I slow my judgment and make a concerted effort to feel confident and poised, regardless of the circumstances of his delay. A text or tweet would have been nice. I bet he's on the subway and lacks the necessary technology to connect with me. Perhaps Mr. Brian Kenny stopped along the way for a quick hot topic debate with a local sports yokel? It will be worth the wait.
My emotions are confused and uncertain, and I'm starting to cling to the outside air like I'm Frank Booth about to butterfly into his "Daddy" persona. I can't seem to satisfy my need to breathe, and I feel rejected and abused. I pretend to be smoking because it calms me down and makes me look cool to any curious onlookers that happen upon my particular spot. It's cool to smoke cigarettes in deep freeze outdoor conditions but it's not cool to explain to a medical professional the avoidable frostbite that occurred while waiting for a baseball analyst and power voice. It's 7:30. I heard this place served a fantastic piece of fish, and my intuition tells me that Brian Kenny would be excited to learn that this place serves a fantastic piece of fish, and would become so excited—in fact—that he would probably mention the fish during his next television segment, detailing the mood and the memories to his fiercely loyal and oddly epicurean fan base. Yahoo! Answers said the fish was good when I asked if the fish was good.

The win might be a silly statistic, but does it affect pitchers' performance?
On Monday's edition of MLB Now, anchor Brian Kenny once again made the case against using wins as a measure of pitcher quality. Citing recent games such as Matt Harvey's brilliant nine-inning, one-hit no-decision, he argued that the win is an overrated statistic that doesn't do a good job of describing the pitcher's performance. After Kenny's presentation, former pitcher Al Leiter came out to give a rebuttal. Leiter had an interesting take on the issue. He said that Kenny wasn't respecting the human element of the game, and he suggested that the win statistic might actually make starters perform a little better in some key situations.

Breaking down the debate about sabermetrics between Brian Kenny and Hawk Harrelson.
I don't know how we got to this point, but the long-awaited grudge match between White Sox color commentator Hawk Harrelson and MLB Network broadcaster Brian Kenny (with occasional contributions from Harold Reynolds) took place last night. Everyone was polite, nobody got sent to the hospital, and Hawk launched a thousand indignant tweets. You can see the whole thing through the miracle of YouTube, if you have ten minutes to spare for Hawk to say five minutes' worth of sentences twice:

Announcing The Naples Players' 2012-13 season lineup
Moving into their 60th year, The Naples Players announce their 2012-13 season productions.
In Blackburn Hall
¦ "Shout, the Mod Musical" takes the main stage in Blackburn Hall Oct. 3-27. Created by Phillip George and David Lowenstein, it celebrates the fun, the fashions and the freedom that helped England swing in the '60s.
¦ Up next is "Leading Ladies," Nov. 21-Dec. 15. From Ken Ludwig, the author of Naples Players' audience pleasers "Lend Me A Tenor" and "Moon Over Buffalo," comes the exploits of two down-on-theirluck Shakespearean actors posing as longlost nephews to inherit the estate of a rich old woman.
¦ Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" is set for Jan. 9-Feb. 2, 2013. A sweet comedy of young love and commitment, the story follows newlyweds Corie and Paul as they negotiate their first apartment with eccentric neighbors and a meddling mother.
¦ "The Producers," a musical comedy by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, will delight audiences Feb. 27-March 30, 2013.
¦ Closing the season on the main stage is Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap," the classic who-dun-it that has played to nearly 4 million audience members in England alone.
And in The Tobye Studio
¦ The Players' Tobye Studio season begins with "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," a drama by Christopher Hampton, Oct. 24-Nov. 17. This one is a sexy reflection on jealousy, the breakdown of opulence and the costs of passion in 18th century Paris.
¦ "Ghost-Writer," by Michael Hollinger, follows Jan. 30-Feb. 23, 2013. Set in 1919, this tale of inspiration, expiration and vicarious love unfolds after novelist Franklin Woolsey dies while dictating his latest novel to his devoted secretary, Myra, who continues to type the unpublished work.
¦ Ending the season in the Tobye Studio is "The Clean House," March 27-April 20, 2013. This quirky and poignant comedy, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, is about clean houses and messy lives, love and dust balls, and the power of a good joke.
Looking ahead
"As we move into our 60th year, I am extremely pleased and proud to be present such a diverse, yet well-rounded selection of musicals, comedy and drama available to the public," says Dallas Dunnagan, artistic director for the troupe.
Tickets are $35 for main stage productions and $25 for shows in the Tobye Studio. A subscription for the five Blackburn performances is $150; a three-show Tobye subscription is $60. Subscriptions go on sale in early March.

"I don't know what I am doing in therapy…" I have heard this time and time again, and truthfully- it drives me crazy!
Would you go to a mechanic and pay without know what was being done to your car?
Would you go to your primary care doctor with concerns and leave without knowing a treatment plan?
Then why, oh why, would you go to therapy and not know what you are doing there? I hear people all the time, "Oh, I have been in therapy for years, but I don't know what the plan is." Or, the ever popular, "I just go and we talk, I don't know what we are doing or if it is helping." I can completely understand why a person might think therapy is pointless if they are not getting the help they need, if there is no forward progress, and no means to measure success.
Therapy is there for you. It is about you; your goals and your needs. Your therapist should be constantly checking in with you, determining where you are and where you would like to go. You should be part of the treatment plan development process, you should always know what you are working on, and you should be able to see your progress.
If your child is in therapy, the same applies. You should understand the treatment plan, the coping skills or strategies your child is learning, how to support them at home, and given information, psycho-education, or referral sources for more information regarding their issues. If the therapist says that is part of the child's confidentiality, I highly suggest you talk to another therapist. Respecting confidentially is different than conveying and understanding a treatment plan; additionally, children's confidentially is different than adults.
Asking questions is not and should not be a "problem." Any therapist should take the time to explain anything you would like regarding your treatment, your diagnosis, or other treatment options.
Please, remember- it is your time, it is your money, it is your treatment- make sure it is what you need it to be.

A 69-year-old man, his daughter and his grandson, all District residents, were killed in a car crash over the weekend as they returned from a funeral.
Thomas Willis, his daughter, Cindy, 47, and his grandson Isiah, 21, died in the crash on Interstate 95 on Saturday, the Virginia State Police said.
They were coming from Andrews, S.C., where a funeral had been held for Thomas Willis's brother Jacob, said Willie Willis, another brother.
Jacob died Oct. 31, and his funeral was held Nov. 5. He was the survivor of twins. They had been named for figures in the Old Testament. Jacob's twin had been named Esau, Willie Willis said.
On Saturday, the three D.C. residents left Andrews at 7:30 a.m. to return to Washington.
Thomas Willis told his brother that he would phone him from the District when he got back.
According to the Virginia State Police, the crash occurred about 1 p.m. about 25 miles south of Richmond.
With Isiah Willis at the wheel, the family's car ran off the left side of the highway, state police said. The driver overcorrected, police said, and ran off the right side of the highway, striking a tree.
No one in the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt, the police said.
Thomas Willis had lived in an apartment in Northeast. The other two lived in Southwest.
Lavera Robertson, who was reached Tuesday night the apartment she shared with Thomas Willis, said the pair had been a couple for 17 years.
"He was a nice man,'' she said. "Very quiet."
Once a construction worker, she said, he had enjoyed pitching horseshoes and watching televised football and baseball. They got along, she said, even though she was a Redskins fan and he rooted for the Dallas Cowboys.
She said she had heard from Willis about 7:30 a.m. Saturday. In his call from South Carolina, he told her to expect him about 4 p.m.
As the hours went by, she said, she kept waiting. Finally, she said, there was a knock at her door.
It was the police, she said, with news about the accident.
