Fines and penalties are fees imposed by governments on their citizens for actions which are deemed to be transgressions of laws or regulations. The transgression involved is usually relatively minor; otherwise it would have been punished by imprisonment instead, although it does sometimes occur that fines are levied in addition to criminal sanctions. Fines and penalties are usually processed administratively by the agencies of government without prior processing through the court system. In many cases, courts do also have the power to impose fines and penalties of various kinds on their own though.
In today's complex economies, governments impose a variety of reporting requirements on their citizens. For example, citizens are often required to file yearly reports on the income they have earned. Corporations are required to file periodic reports in the profits they have made. This is so that governments can ensure the citizens and corporations are paying tax appropriately. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements, whether by omitting to file a report at all, or by filing it late, is often punished with a financial penalty. It is usually possible to appeal against these penalties if the citizen or corporation is able to make the case that extraordinary circumstances prevented a prompt filing of the required report.
Fines and Penalties are also imposed in case of criminal act. This may hurt one socially as well because nowadays background check is possible online. There are many sites which provides records if one wants to know about Criminal Background Check or Criminal Check for particular person or company.

Picasso Double Willow Spinnerbait
The Picasso Double Willow Spinnerbait uses .032 diameter stainless wire to create a unique elliptical movement of the upper arm on the retrieve. This flexible light wire allows the bait to "collapse" when a fish strikes to ensure a proper hook set. Picasso also uses a grommet center skirt to keep the skirt from pulling down for a consistently lifelike presentation. A long shank Mustad UltraPoint hook delivers lightning fast penetration, increases the hook-up percentage, and eliminates the need for a trailer hook. It also provides the ideal barb size for keeping fish pinned on. The custom willow blades provide excellent flash and vibration, and premium Sampo swivels ensure the blades never stop moving. Available in a range of colors, the Picasso Double Willow Spinnerbait is made in the USA for performance you can count on.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Light wire provides increased vibration that must strike a nerve in a bass's lateral line. Have used almost every spinnerbait on the market and the Picasso with its light wire is hands down the best.
From: Chris: Louisville, KY 1/20/15
Comments: Great bait, its very high quality and its not very expensive. I bought a gilly color and I was throwing it along some lily pads and I took it out of the water and a huge pike jumped out trying to get it, it was probably 30 inches. These baits work.
From: Isaiah: Fremont, Michigan
Comments: excellent spinnerbait. Top quality components, sharp hook and can take a beating. Always have one on deck.
From: Chris: Jax, FL
Comments: the long shank hook is an improvement over the originals - which were the best on the market. Thanks for bringing them back.
From: Scott: Pittsburgh, PA

NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang lets everyone know his company is spending nearly a billion dollars each year ready to take on Intel's graphics offerings
Any notion that Intel and NVIDIA have common ground in the graphics industry can now be easily dismissed
NVIDIA's already candid CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had more than a few things to say during the company's financial analyst meeting today. An hour into the call Huang began to ad lib; clearly something was on his mind.
"We're going to open a can of whoop ass," he told analysts, who quickly broke out into laughter.
For the past two weeks Intel and NVIDIA have been playing a game of cloak and dagger with technology press, complete with secret slide shows and secret slide show rebuttals. At the heart of this covert battle is the integrated graphics market, and some of the claims attached to it.
Intel senior vice president Pat Gelsinger fired the first volley at the Intel Developer Forum last week in Shanghai. "First, graphics that we have all come to know and love today, I have news for you. It's coming to an end. Our multi-decade old 3D graphics rendering architecture that's based on a rasterization approach is no longer scalable and suitable for the demands of the future," he said.
Gelsinger's bold statement was an introduction to Intel's upcoming
graphics architecture, but it was enough to put NVIDIA on full alert.
Intel's first attempt at a discrete graphics processor in nearly a decade
, with first samples expected to ship and stay competitive with NVIDIA and AMD graphic processors.
Intel slide decks presented to media argue that spending money on CPUs and more CPU cores makes more sense than spending money on GPUs. Intel presentations go on to detail that its integrated graphics will still satisfy consumers for years, adding that its upcoming
architecture will come in variants that integrate GMA 4500 (G45) graphics directly onto the CPU package.
NVIDIA's slide shows almost completely ignore Intel's
, and focus on IGP claims. One of Intel's slide decks states GMA 3100 (G33) is more than enough to watch high definition videos. NVIDIA counters by
citing my previous publication
"While the video capabilities of the [GMA 3100] will suffice for running Vista Aero, just about any office application, and a wide variety of non-3D based games, it is not up to the task of running the latest games, decoding 1080P HD content, or even providing decent video capabilities for a media station,"
's Gary Key writes.
Huang argues that not only are Intel's integrated offerings "a joke," but that even if Intel manages increase graphics performance by ten times by 2010, that's barely up to par with current NVIDIA offerings. He claims what passes for average graphics outside of the tech enthusiast crowd should be consider abysmal in the visual computing world.
Throughout the bulk of the conference call, Huang continued to lament Intel for poor graphics performance. He hints at another Intel slide deck that claims Intel GMA 3100 is Windows Vista Premium compatible -- a claim which was
debunked by Microsoft employees in a recent lawsuit
Intel fired back minutes later, sending emails to analysts detailing NVIDIA's poor track record when it comes to
Vista crashes due to incomplete drivers
. Almost on cue, Huang responded once again.
"NVIDIA has to support several new titles every week," he said, alleging that Intel's graphics just have to support the basic office packages. "You already have the right machine to run Excel. You bought it four years ago," he said.
The statement clearly struck a nerve with Huang, who paused for a second before adding "How much faster can you render the blue screen of death?"
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - Police say a Greeneville man is facing federal charges after investigators found child pornography on his station laptop.
This is a troubling story and not a typical case as it involves someone who was dedicated to public safety.
"Our auxiliary officer [Herbert Eugene Miller] is no longer an employee of the town of Greeneville," said town administrator Todd Smith. That's because Miller was arrested on August 15 after an eleven-day investigation. He was charged with one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
According to a federal complaint, another Greeneville police officer conducting routine computer maintenance on August 4 discovered several web searches for child pornography on Miller's police laptop. "As soon as that officer found that material, he reported to his supervisor that there was suspicious material on his computer," Smith said.
Court documents say the computer in question was used in patrol car seven.
Smith says this case escalated quickly from the first discovery. "Our assistant chief Craig Fillers realized this was a significant issue. We contacted the FBI," he said. "At that point they did a thorough investigation of the material that was found on the computer and realized their investigation needed to step up."
According to the federal complaint filed on August 15 in federal court, a forensic investigation of the computer hard drive discovered thousands of explicit images and more than 80 instances of child pornography.
Further investigation was able to trace those searches back to the early morning hours of July 28, when Miller was on duty.
Smith says Miller was used by the department on an as-needed basis. "Basically [he was] a part-time police officer we hired here in the town of Greenville to help us out on a scheduling challenges that we have and special events," he said.
According to Greeneville records, Miller was hired June 1 of 2000 and was employed through yesterday.
He was being held in the Washington County, Tennessee jail as of Friday evening.

Cookies for breakfast? When they're full of good-for-you ingredients, it makes delicious sense. These sweet treats are all cookie, but made with oats, almond butter, flax and whole wheat flour.
If you use salted almond butter, omit the sea salt.
Make ahead and freeze for longer storage. Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw before eating.
To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

Entering a high school classroom at SkyView Academy is like walking into the future of education.
The students are learning lessons that other children are not, and they are learning in ways that have not even been considered by some schools. With a cutting-edge curriculum and high-tech gadgets that could have come from a 1950s science fiction novel, SkyView's student body is being engaged in multiple ways.
Each ninth-grader at the new charter school near C-470 and Quebec Street is now equipped with a Nook, and they are reading classical literature on the handheld devices. Every classroom also has a Smart Board, an interactive tool that connects teachers with their students in a way that keeps everyone on the same page.
SkyView administrators intend for the expanding high school to become a college preparation institution.
"One of the things we're really conscious of is staying true to who we are," said Lorrie Grove, co-founder of the school. "We want to make sure the kids and the culture are in place."
That means tweaking its bold curriculum where needed because "we really want to nail it," she said. It also has led the school to execute a "planned, intentional rollout" for sports programs and to incrementally build its enrollment.
The school is doubling its available area for classrooms, going from just under 50,000 square feet for grades Pre-6 and the first class of ninth-graders, to about 109,000 square feet for what will be a Pre-12 school.
The Douglas County School District-backed charter is growing within its existing space, which a few years ago served as a Home Depot store on Business Center Drive. The expansion plan was approved by the Douglas County Planning Commission last month.
When the school is fully built out, it will house 1,400-1,500 pupils, including 600 high-schoolers. The inaugural class of freshmen will complete its first year this May, and one grade will be added each year as those students move up toward graduation.
Enrollment is now open for incoming ninth-graders and informational meetings for parents are planned in March.
SkyView's middle school students will be on the ground level, while high school classes will be on the second floor. The first high school students are embracing their roles as pioneers and have become active in extracurricular programs and service projects outside of SkyView.
"Our students will be known for the content of their character," Grove said.
They already are experiencing the social gatherings that round out the high school experience, including pep assemblies and dances, as well as joining developing sports programs.

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
The U.S. auto parts industry is in good shape, having pulled in $41 billion in sales last year.
In Tupelo, Mid South Auto Supply is carving out its own piece of the market.
Charlie Kinney, the company's president, owns four NAPA Auto Parts stores in Northeast Mississippi – Tupelo, Baldwyn, Booneville and Corinth – and another in Jackson, Tenn.
And he's looking for more.
"I think we can grow to 15 or 20 stores," he said.
Kinney also looks to expand the Tupelo operations, building a new facility to serve as a redistribution center to his stores.
More than 21,000 auto parts stores are scattered across the country, employing more than 316,000 people, according to IBISWorld.
There's plenty of competition in Tupelo and Northeast Mississippi, too, but Kinney said Mid South stands out with its NAPA affiliation.
"We're also the only locally owned auto parts store in Tupelo," Kinney said. "You're dealing with people you know and not some corporate office."
Recently, the Tupelo NAPA store was named the "Store of the Year" for NAPA's Memphis distribution center, which serves more than 180 stores in five states. The Tupelo location was picked over nine other finalists representing Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas.
And earlier this year, Mid South Auto Supply won the "5-Star Award of Excellence" from NAPA, its highest honor.
Kinney said all the recognition is a reflection of his company's 50 employees.
"One of the biggest things we have going is that we have good people," Kinney said. "Our staff really cares about helping our customers and that makes a huge difference. With our strong team, our business will continue to grow."
Michael Addison, who heads outside sales for Mid South Auto Supply, said experience and consistency are key factors.
"For example, in our Tupelo store, there's not a person who has less than 20 years of experience," he said. "We have people who know parts and service."'
And it helps to have a strong brand to rely on.
NAPA is part of the Automotive Parts Group, the largest division of Atlanta-based Genuine Parts Co.
GPC, founded in 1928, also has an industrial replacement parts division, an office products segment and an electrical/electronic materials business.
The company posted record sales and earnings in 2012, with sales increasing 4.5 percent to $13 billion and net income rising 15 percent to $648 million. The Automotive Parts Division accounted for $6.3 billion of sales.
Genuine has the third-largest market share of the auto parts industry in the U.S., behind Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone. O'Reilly Automotive is fourth.
Early start
For Kinney, there's no better choice than NAPA. But then, he's a little biased.
His ties to the company go back to when he was a teen. He was helping out in his family's business when at age 16, a NAPA store was put up for sale. They bought the business, and Kinney started learning about the auto parts industry shortly thereafter.
But three years later, he chased a dream to be a singer in Nashville. That career didn't quite pan out, and he went back to work – for NAPA.
After eight years, the company's district manager sent Kinney to a new location – San Diego.
"When you grow, you move," he said.
Indeed, postings followed in Toronto and Phoenix.
It was at that last stop where Kinney and his wife decided to try their hand at store ownership.
And in February 2009, Kinney bought his four Mississippi NAPA stores, and later added a Jackson, Tenn., location.
They chose to move to Tupelo, where the store on Harmony Lane also serves as a warehouse for the other stores.
"We fell in love with Tupelo," Kinney said.
Two years ago, Kinney added Addison, who handles outside sales for Mid South Auto Supply.
"He's my right arm," Kinney said.
While walk-in retail customers are an important part of sales, finding and opening commercial accounts also is critical, and that's the major role Addison plays.
"We look at our customers as family, as a partnership, not just a vendor," Addison said.
Said Kinney, "We're not in the auto parts business, we're in the people business."

Professional Development for Arts Educators Program
The U.S. Department of Education's Professional Development for Arts Educators (PDAE) program supports the implementation of high-quality professional development model programs in K-12 education for music, dance, drama, media arts or visual arts educators.
Applications must be initiated by a local education agency, but projects may include partnerships with arts organizations. Programs must focus on the development, enhancement, or expansion of standards-based arts education programs; or the integration of arts instruction into other subject area content. The program requires that participating schools must have student populations in which at least 50% are from low-income families (Title I). If your orchestra partners with schools to provide professional development for teachers, consider bringing this grant program to the attention of your school system.
The U.S. Department of Education granted 17 new awards in the FY14 Professional Development for Arts Educators Program competition.
The PDAE competition is currently closed.

Transaction Consistency and the New Finance in Bankruptcy
David A. Skeel Jr.
University of Pennsylvania Law School; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
Thomas Jackson
University of Rochester
February 22, 2012
Columbia Law Review, Vol. 112, p. 152, 2012
U of Penn, Inst for Law & Econ Research Paper No. 11-06
Prior to the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act last summer, derivatives and repurchase agreements ("repos") were largely unregulated outside of bankruptcy, and also were exempted from core bankruptcy provisions such as the automatic stay, which prevents creditors from seizing collateral or attempting to collect what they are owed. The Dodd-Frank Act now extensively regulates derivatives outside of bankruptcy, but it left their special treatment in bankruptcy completely untouched.
There is a gap in the debate over this special treatment. To date, neither scholars nor the derivatives industry have fully analyzed the key counterfactual: what would happen if derivatives and repos were subject to the same treatment as other contracts? This Article tries to fill the gap, and to develop a more general theory about the importance of "transaction consistency" in the bankruptcy laws. Our findings are surprising. Contrary to the dire warnings of the repo industry, the effect of transaction consistency on repos would be limited, because repos would automatically be terminated as of the bankruptcy filing and thus could not be reinstated by the debtor. Derivatives have more at stake, but the nondebtor's right of setoff would reduce many of the adverse effects.
We do not argue that the special treatment should simply be removed, however. Given the distinctive attributes of these contracts, we argue that repo lenders should be able to immediately sell some kinds of collateral and that the automatic stay should be limited to three days for derivatives. We also explain how transaction consistency can be integrated with the Dodd-Frank Act. We believe that that the reforms we propose would strongly enhance bankruptcy's efficacy, and make Dodd-Frank resolution unnecessary in all but the most extraordinary cases.

They are along the front, so everything does not sink to the bottom - when everything sinks to the bottom a purse starts looking like a mini duffel bag. The inside partitions are perfectly sized, leaving room for anything else you might need to put in it - I think even a laptop would fit if it needed to.."

Notes: In this study, in vivo selection of a phage display random peptide library was performed in mice, isolating specific peptides that homed to mouse thymus. A thymus-homing and kidney-recovered peptide were injected into BALB/c mice, and peripheral blood removed at intervals of 15 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours. DNA was extracted using the ReadyAmp™ Genomic DNA Purification System. Thymus activity was assessed by using real-time PCR. (4020)

The unholy bond between religion and politics is the background for "Persecuted," a confused and confusing thriller about a TV preacher ruined by a sinister government plot.
Written and directed by Daniel Lusko, who has Christian documentaries among his credits, and having ex-GOP Sen. Fred Dalton Thompson of Tennessee and Fox News personality Gretchen Carlson in its cast, you can guess its politics.
Starring: James Remar, Bruce Davison, Fred Dalton Thompson, Gretchen Carlson and Brad Stine.
Rating: PG-13 for violence and thematic elements.
But the targets are less clearly defined than you might expect. There are evil feds and righteous ones. There are veiled attacks on a congressional effort to give all religions equal standing and federal tax money. The president is a devious Clinton look-alike.
However, big-time religion takes it on the chin, too. The most sinister scenes in it take place in the boardroom of a multimillion dollar TV ministry.
So, "fair and balanced," right? Not exactly.
James Remar, who broke out in films 35 years ago with "The Warriors" and later as the villain of "48 Hours," is cast against type as John Luther, an ex-drug addict who now leads Truth Live!, a crusade that he aims to keep above politics, above religious denominations.
Sinister Sen. Donald Harrison (Bruce Davison) is pressuring Luther to endorse The Faith and Fairness Act, something backed by a Coexista-oriented organization called SUMAC.
It's incredibly vague what this will do, but it seems to be some sort of religious tolerance/equality act that will give all religions equal standing and all religions equal access to adherents to other faiths. Luther isn't having it. But he's been warned.
A drive home takes a turn toward the honey trap they've set for him. A girl dies. Luther is on the lam, hunted by the law, as his ministry tumbles into the hands of his opportunistic second-in-command (Christian comic Brad Stine, pretty good).
Luther turns to his wise old dad (Mr. Thompson), who happens to be a Catholic priest, another bit of backstory that is unexplained.
"Those who believe in nothing must bring you down," Dad warns. "You're just a pawn in a political game."
The safe way to approach this is as the thriller it is supposed to be, and as such, "Persecuted" is pretty limp. There's no urgency to the performances, no ticking clock to Luther's desperate bid to clear his name. Mr. Remar, a fine character actor, is utterly miscast as a preacher. He doesn't have the pulpit presence.
Cops don't stop to question a guy (Luther) sitting in a darkened car, wearing a hoodie and watching a suburban house, even though they see him. A hotel clerk is so eager to turn Luther in that she dials up the cops while Luther is waiting for his room key. Missteps like that abound.
More interesting are Luther's repeated entreaties to a supernatural being that isn't keeping him or his family safe, shouted prayers that go unanswered. Luther, however, doesn't lose faith, even when he's confronting the senator.
"Remember what the Lord said ..."
"Oh, STOP with the Lord!"
This slapdash script fails to articulate its basic complaint or identify who, exactly, is persecuting them. Government? The culture? Liberals? Humanists? Jews? U2's Bono, champion of the Coexista bumper-sticker?
You wonder because you can't help but notice this movie's almost all-white cast around the time we see the evangelical son of the Catholic priest rub his rosary beads one last time, and pick up a gun.
Opens Friday.

Things have been way too serious around this here blog lately, and it's mostly my fault. Meg, we need you to curate us up a bunch of new cat videos, pronto!! But I do have this small scrap of completely un-newsworthy information to offer y'all. A bit of gossip came through the BAS grapevine which we are passing along to those of you who care about Bravo's upcoming Untitled Artist Project, the Sarah Jessica Parker-produced t.v. reality series that pits artist against artist. We hear that artist Andres Serrano will be the guest judge on the show's first episode, which is also one of several that will take place in the Phillips de Pury & Company headquarters in Chelsea. The set will feature a kind of "greatest hits" showcase of the used-to-be controversial, now just tired "Piss Christ" artist's works, whose last exhibition at Yvon Lambert in New York was titled "SHIT" and featured photographs of shit.
If it is indeed true that Serrano winds up being the first featured artist on the series (I wouldn't be surprised if the planned order of shows gets switched around in the editing process, so who really knows), it's a sure signal that the Untitled Artist Project wants to start out with a bang by selecting guest artists whose work is perceived as being "extreme" in some way, and that more of the same will follow.
And you know, that's perfectly fine with me. I can't wait for this show. My only fear about it is that it'll be on too late for me to watch it given how freaking tired I am at the day. What I'm most anticipating actually is the chatter that will take place on Bravo's online forums as viewers start rooting for favorites and fervently justifying their reasons for doing so. Will the artist/contestants on Bravo's show gain audience favor/hatred via their personalities or the art they make? I personally don't care which it winds up being – I'm not looking for anything other than some great television from this show, although I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility that we might get lucky and get a lot more than that out of it.

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...knee-treatmentThe reason Kobe, A-Rod, and other athletes travel to Germany for their biologic treatments involves a vague FDA regulation that mandates that all human tissues (such as blood and bone marrow) can only be "minimally manipulated," or else they are classified as a drug and subject to much stricter governmental regulations. The problem, of course, is figuring out what "minimal" means in the context of biologics. Can the blood be heated to a higher temperature, as with Regenokine? Spun in a centrifuge? Can certain proteins be filtered out?2 Nobody knows the answer to these questions, and most American doctors are unwilling to risk the ire of regulators.
Are you talking our cancer/heart disease rates or successful treatments. I know cancer survival rates continue to go up.
