The billionaire creator of Beanie Babies was sentenced to two years of probation, but no prison time, on Tuesday for tax evasion on US$25 million ($30 million) in income he had stashed away in Swiss bank accounts.
H Ty Warner, 69, appeared somber but composed as he made a brief statement before receiving his sentence in a Chicago federal courtroom, apologising and saying he felt "shame and embarrassment" for what he had done.
He could have been sentenced to up to five years in prison, and prosecutors were seeking prison time for Warner, who pleaded guilty last year to a single tax evasion count.
US District Judge Charles Kocoras, however, sentenced Warner to probation and 500 hours of community service, praising the toy magnate for the charity work he's done.
Kocoras said his decision was difficult, but he added, "Society will be better served by allowing him to continue his good works."
The judge said Warner's "public humiliation" and "private torment" as a result of his criminal prosecution was a punishment he's already paid.
Warner was among the highest-profile prosecutions in the federal government's push to go after Americans concealing income from the IRS overseas, often in Switzerland.
Prosecutors say at one point, Warner was concealing as much as US$107m.
Beanie Babies first appeared in the mid-1990s, triggering a craze that generated hundreds of millions of dollars for Westmont, Illinois-based TY, of which Warner is the sole owner.
Forbes recently put his net worth at US$2.6b.
The small, plush toys have heart-shaped name tags and are made to resemble bears and other animals.
Some are designed to look like cartoon or comic book characters. As collectibles, some fetch thousands of dollars.
Warner maintained a secret offshore account starting in 1996 with the Switzerland-based financial services company UBS.
He earned US$3.1m in gross income in 2002 through the account, but didn't report it, prosecutors say.

Iran to practice ballistic missile launches during maneuvers
General Yahya Rahim-Safavi said the exercises will take place November 2-12 in southern Iran, and involve units of ground forces, the air force, the navy, and Basij (militia) forces.
In particular, Iran will launch its Shahab-2 and Shahab-3 ballistic missiles, the commander said.
The Shahab-2 is an advanced version of Russia's Scud-C missile, with a range of up to 700 kilometers (about 430 miles), capable of carrying a 700-kilogram (1,500 lb) warhead.
The Shahab-3 is a modernized version of North Korea's No-Dong ballistic missile, and reportedly has a range of up to 1,500 kilometers (about 950 miles). It can carry a 1,000- kilogram (2,200 lb) payload.
Iran is believed to possess one of the largest ballistic missile forces in the developing world, and is reportedly running an ambitious missile development program. Many countries also suspect it of developing nuclear weapons, through its uranium enrichment program.

I worked at ToyotaPros
Even though car sales are down in 2008 - 2009 at Toyota as well as the rest of the ailing auto industry, Toyota continues to carry a sterling reputation both inside and outside of the auto industry. The company brings its best-in-class operational practices into all aspects of the company. Every employee is expected to contribute to cutting waste and streamlining operations, so employee input is not only accepted, it is strongly encouraged.Cons
On such a huge work site as the one in Torrance it is difficult to exchange knowledge and information with colleagues in other divisions. While working with research studies,I have noticed on ocassion that two different business units had both commissioned similar research studies. It was difficult to know which one to base further work on, especially when the studies may have conflicting conclusions. This would be a great opportunity Toyota to cut waste--something they love to do anyway.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I would advise Senior managment to increase the size and quality of the Strategy function. As of now, it doesn't seem that they have the resources to focus on all the important questions.RecommendsApproves of CEO

Written on: 23/12/2011 by Gscholes (1 review written)
After finishing university I was looking for an adventure unlike anything I had done before. Being open minded to travelling anywhere Gap360 had an east coast Australia trip planned out for me, starting in Sydney. Before leaving they sent me a day by day itinerary and all my flight and bus tickets for the first few weeks. All I had to do was print off my tickets and I was ready. What I found great was that any questions I had, regarding visas, insurance or just the little things I could send a quick email and they where happy to answer my questions. The employees also seemed to know there stuff, Giving great advice on places to go and what to do. I was also offered the Flexibility to stay places longer so i could adjust my journey accordingly.
After arriving in Sydney, where I spent a week on an introduction package, where I was able to meet other travellers I then made my way up north on a surfing programme to Byron bay. To mix it up they offered an outback farm experience which showed me a different side to Australia and also where I decided to stay an extra week to ride the horses. After that I did the Whitsunday islands and then onto cairns for the most amazing diving experience on the great barrier reef. In total I managed to pack in so much in to 6weeks, which I would not have been able to do myself. It was great having them do the hard work and took the hassle out of planning which left me to relax and enjoy my trip.
Last of all, I found there website really great for information and pictures to open up all possibilities and provide plenty of information. I would defiantly recommend Gap360 to anyone looking to travel for the first time or just looking for something new to try out and experience.

All Blacks bank on Messam
- 11 Sep 2013
The All Blacks have made five changes for their match against the Springboks in Auckland.
Liam Messam will start at blindside flank, with Steven Luatua dropping to the bench, while Ma'a Nonu returns at inside centre in place of Francis Saili, after recovering from an ankle injury.
Kieran Read will captain the team from No 8 in the absence of Richie McCaw, who has been ruled out for a month with a knee injury. With Sam Cane promoted to the No 7 jersey in McCaw's absence, Matt Todd is named in his place on the bench.
The other changes come in the front row, where Owen Franks and Dane Coles start alongside Tony Woodcock. Andrew Hore, who started against Argentina, has dropped out of the match-day squad.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said the selection of Messam over Luatua was down to the former's experience and physicality, two essential factors in the battle at the breakdown against the Bok trio of Francois Louw, Willem Alberts and Duane Vermeulen.
'In selecting the team, there were some tough decisions to be made, none more so than between Liam and Steven,' said Hansen. 'But in the end we have gone for Liam's extra experience and physicality.
'The physical challenge will be huge as it always it is and the team that executes its game with the greatest effectiveness, clarity and intensity will be the one that comes out on top.'
All Blacks – 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Sam Cane, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Brodie Retallick, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Tony Woodcock.

I worked at GAI Consultants full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Nice new offices. Opportunities to manage many projects and teams.Cons
This company is full of relatives. It is essentially a family controlled business. There is extreme turnover except for those who are long term friends and direct relations of the president. No credit or financial reward is given to employees for successes unless you are long term friends or family. I got the same low bonus and almost zero pay raise as those who literally slept in the office and brought in no work. Only family and friends got rewarded, even those who lost clients and money. It was not worth it and I left. If you are male, catholic, and Italian you might have a chance. This is not a place where diversity is respected.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Private group surveys Western Pennsylvania veterans on their needs
Completing an online survey could help Western Pennsylvania's veterans get more of the help they need.
Ben Keen, executive director of Steel City Vets, which is offering the survey on its website, said the survey could help charitable organizations and veterans groups determine how to use donations most effectively.
"There's a lot of people who want to do the right thing, but not a lot of information about veterans," Keen said.
The 39-question survey asks about demographics, military experience, connections to Western Pennsylvania medical providers and other nonprofits, and employment status. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete and was developed by Megan Andros, an Iraq war veteran and Coro Fellow.
Coro, founded in San Francisco in 1942, provides training in leadership skills and has expanded to six cities, including Pittsburgh. Andros, a 2006 West Point grad, could not be reached for comment.
Although various government agencies and veterans groups can "provide chunks of statistical data, there is not significant behavioral and consumer information that will shed light on what veterans themselves say they most care about," said Douglas Root, spokesman for the Heinz Endowments, which hopes to use the survey to increase the money it gives to veterans causes.
"We're starting to get involved in a lot more grant-making for veterans," Root said. "We've gone from none two years ago and now have several."
The survey is not connected to a specific grant, but is part of a broader effort to determine reach of services and need, he said.
"It is a first step to get a sense of size and scope," Root said. "A more scientifically valid survey may be commissioned later based on what this first effort tells us."
More than 200,000 veterans live in Western Pennsylvania, according to the Census Bureau, receiving health care, jobs and tuition assistance and other benefits from county, state and federal agencies.
Any effort that could identify and elaborate on the needs of veterans would be welcomed, said John Ellis, spokesman for The Pittsburgh Foundation.
"We feel (their needs) represent a real need in the community," he said.

A new econometric forecast model shows there is ample potential for U.S. manufacturing to resurge and, by 2025 add a significant number of good-paying manufacturing jobs, add to GDP growth, and help create the first surplus in the nation's goods and services balance of trade since 1975.
Report sponsors were the Aspen Institute's program on Manufacturing and Society in the 21st Century and the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI). The economic model and expert advice used for the projections were provided by the University of Maryland's Interindustry Forecasting Project (Inforum).
"The robust results presented in the study are achievable with only modest acceleration of current trends, and none of the policy recommendations mark a radical departure from current policy trajectories," said report author Thomas J. Duesterberg, executive director of Aspen Institute's Manufacturing and Society program. "But they require a willingness to change in a disciplined way."
Stephen Gold, MAPI President and CEO, agreed, and said, "With no changes in public policy the manufacturing base will continue to shrink as a share of GDP as it has for the past decade. With just a few policy shifts, however, manufacturing in America can experience a resurgence that will ensure new innovation, increased productivity, more jobs, and a rise in living standards on our shores."
Inforum was commissioned to make projections based on a target of moving manufacturing's share of GDP back to the level last seen in 1998 (approximately 15%), before the "dot-com" recession and the "Great Recession." Results were projected to 2025. Various scenarios were tested to determine what economic trends could power a change. The "manufacturing resurgence" scenario was then contrasted with a baseline forecast where the manufacturing value-added share would remain at today's level, approximately 11.5%.
The study found that by focusing on key drivers--exports and imports; capital investments; energy supplies; regulatory and tax policy; and the skills gap for manufacturing workers and researchers--the growth path for manufacturing and the U.S. economy could improve dramatically.
Possible improvements, according to the report:
* The manufacturing share of value-added in the resurgence scenario would grow to 15.8% of GDP in 2025, a proportion not seen since 1998, compared to 11.1% in 2025 under the baseline forecast.
* Manufacturing employment in the resurgence scenario would grow by 307,000 per year, or an increase of 3.7 million jobs by 2025, compared with essentially flat growth, or 23,000 workers per year, in the baseline scenario.
* Under such a scenario, by 2025, the nation's GDP would be $1.5 trillion larger than under "business as usual," with most of the increase coming from the manufacturing sector.
* The balance of trade in goods and services would see a dramatic transition under a manufacturing "renaissance," from its current deficit of $500 billion to a surplus of about $700 billion, including nearly $200 billion in manufactured goods. Under a baseline scenario, the country's balance of trade would continue to run deficits.
* Capital investment in equipment and software, one driver of innovation and productivity growth, would increase by 12.1% by 2025, relative to the baseline.
"At a minimum, this forecasting exercise ought to lend some hope that we can indeed look ahead to a manufacturing resurgence and the sustainable economic gains that it brings, if we choose to follow this path," said Duesterberg.

We have a planfor every budget
Construction is underway to rebirth a barbershop, an old school barbershop. The Flashback Barbershop will be opening later this summer at 3745 Bloomington St, Colorado Springs, CO. The shop will offer a bit of nostalgia for men and boys.
Colorado Springs, CO / ACCESSWIRE / July 2nd, 2014 / Tradition is coming with the future opening of the Flashback Barbershop. This vintage barbershop is currently under construction on the east side of Colorado Springs. The Flashback Barbershop will be located at 3745 Bloomington St, Colorado Springs, CO 80922.
James Hall wanted to offer an alternative to hair salons for men and boys. By launching the Flashback barbershop, he's combining the nostalgia of yester-year with heros from the sports world. The shop will be a place to step out of the busy bustle of the day for a cut, hot lather shave and even a shoe shine. The shop is being constructed to offer a glimpse into an old school barbershop with both antiques and modern fixtures. The shop will feature six Koken Barber chairs stemming from Ernest Koken's hydraulic-operated chair from 1900. These modern versions have the same look and feel of the traditional chairs.
The Flashback Barbershop offers men an escape from hair salons. The shop will offer traditional and modern cuts, hot lather shaves, and shoe shines. Construction is underway and the shop plans to be opening soon. Visit the website to sign up for email updates and pre-opening offers.

Panasonic preps retro Micro Four-Thirds camera
Panasonic's Micro Four-Thirds (MFT) expertise is already well established, but a leaked image has revealed the manufacturer's plans for a 12Mp retro-style MFT camera to take on Olympus' EP1. Panasonic_GF1 Panasonic's GF1 uses Micro Four-Thirds technology and has 12.1Mp While Panasonic's first two MFT efforts – the G1 and GH1 …

The absence of an optical viewfinder is a deal breaker for me, right out of the gate. Without a tripod, a camera without an optical viewfinder is worthless, I don't care how good the image quality. When will these manufacturers stop trying to force feed an acceptance of using an LCD screen at arms length for framing and focusing?

Score from 444 reviews Good
Nice breakfast. Friendly staff that know English.
The location seems to be pretty dangerous at night. We wanted to go out to eat something and were told by the staff not to do so....
Spa, big rooms
Staff, once checked out no possibilities to use the spa, dusty rooms, no English only Spanish re. Staff, neighbourhoud is nothing to see
Proximity to the Airport and the shuttle service was quick and efficient. Friendly staff. Good service.
Found a blood stain on the pillow case.
The hotel is new and clean. My room was large and I loved the fact that the bathroom was separated from the powder room. The bed was firm and comfortable. The quality of the food at the restaurant and the room service were both excellent and I didn't have to go out to eat. I truly enjoyed my stay here!
If you're arriving at the terminal 2 like I did, it's better just take a cab to the hotel instead of waiting for the shuttle unless you're fluent in Spanish. Most of the receptionists do not speak good English and I had hard time getting the shuttle picked me up. I ended up waiting for 90 minutes at 10:30 p.m. Not an ideal situation for solo traveller.
The rooms are really nice and the hotel is really close from palacio de Los deportes
Rooms are very nice, WIFI very fast and stable, Restaurant is ok, breakfast very good. Pool very nice on the Roof with a view. Hotel shuttle from Airport in 10 min, you Need to go to Exit door 4 in airport
Great service, very clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast was great. Facilities are fantastic!
Internet was really slow.
The pool, the spa, the lovely coffee shop and restaurant. The wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room with tiled bath. This hotel has it all, including proximity to airport and city via Metro two blocks away.
Nice hotel, very close to the airport If you need overnight sleep and you have flight at the next day this is a good choice The hotel provid shattel from and to the ariport The breakfast is very good
If you want to stay at Mexcico and travel the location is not recomandad Its seem not safe to walk around at night
Indoors pool with really warm water. Shuttle to airport each hour with no extra cost. Really clean and comfortable rooms
I was looking for a one-night-stay close to the airport and found this to be (one of) the best value-for-money hotels. For approx. 80,- Euro I had WIFI and a (good) breakfast included. Also the employees knew "how-to-do" and a shuttle brought me to the airport in approx. 10 to 15 minutes.
Modern, comfortable hotel. Very friendly and efficient staff. Good free bus shuttle service to airport. Pricing very good compared to "in airport" hotels
No negative comments
The fact that the bill was printed on paper which had been used on the other side the fact that having left a cash deposit for incidentals, and having requested a room service I was notified by the waiter that after a number of phone calls the deposit was insufficient for about 1.50 dollars
i liked the area
stingy about supplies, towels and so forth
Great location, great restaurant in hotel so I didn't have to go out for dinner and breakfast, rooms were very nice and the gym was excellent! The staff was great and waiters in restaurant helped me to learn some Spanish while there.
Nothing I didn't like.
No curtains. Spotlights shining in room all night.
Todo, servicio excelente.
Beds were comfortable. Linen good. Dining facilities reasonably priced and of good quality. Efficient shuttle. Good option near airport being secure in an unsafe area.
No fridge. Shower not particularly user friendly and hairdryer outside shower area with no wall to isolate noise from bedroom.
stayed there before, no problems in the past...nice shuttle from airport, porters drivers were good...went out of there way to help
2 receptionists were terrible, construction going on the whole time, had to listen to a saw for 5 hours, (construction still happening late at night), finally at 8pm I called the front desk asked to be moved, not available, then I had to fight with them to get my money returned, went across the street to the Holiday Inn, superior property....hopefully they will get it together; I will give them one more chance..
Airport bus, room,
Breakfast poor selection for European travellers, mature couples on same floor as family's with young kids, lift bell needs to be turned off at night. paying before you see the room.
All was good
Has become very expensive meal wise
Really good hotel with the fine restaurant inside. Nice friendly staff.
The neighborhood doesn't look safe.
I highly recommend that to anyone who is looking for a good hotel in Mexico City. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and the comfort of the rooms. Staff is very friendly and and their restaurant is on point. I will definitely stay here again...
Good quality room and close to airport.
Did not give us our complimentary breakfast. Hotel says pet friendly but wanted pet to sleep in room different from room we had rented.

They still love you! Selena Gomez wows a sold out audience in Amsterdam... as her new movie Getaway bombs at the box office
Her new thriller Getaway bombed at the box office over the weekend.
But Selena Gomez showed no sign of disappointment as she took to the stage to promote her new album Stars Dance in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Tuesday.
Although, the energetic performance may have been due to a gratifying development in her music career as she performed to a sold out audience at the Heineken Music Hall after topping the charts in the US earlier this summer.
Come and get it: Selena Gomez sang her heart out to a packed house in Amsterdam, on Tuesday
The popstrel ran through her choreographed dance routines in black stiletto boots, featuring a sexy high lace up design.
Wearing a pair of extremely small leather shorts the 21-year-old showed off her slim legs in sheer leggings.
Completing her stage costume was a slinky white shirt as she wore her dark locks in a contrived mess of tangled curls, flowing over her shoulders.
All grown up: The 21-year-old star took to the stage like a pro
Dream girl: The Stars Dance singer looked picture perfect during her choreographed performance
Bringing the house down: Selena ran through some of her dance routines with practised ease
And while the 5ft5in star's performance was a triumph in the Netherlands, back home in the US was a different story.
The former Disney princess turned dramatic actress' latest serious endeavour Getaway was a total failure at the box office over what is normally a lucrative holiday weekend in America.
The action thriller, co-starring Ethan Hawke, drew in less than the predicted $6million over the long Labor Day weekend.
Belting it out: Gomez exerted her vocal chords to their maximum potential during the set
Good show: The actress smiled through her performance as her new film Getaway bombed at the box office
Letting her hair blow back: The former Disney princess pulled off some nifty moves
Meanwhile, in Amsterdam the Spring Breakers star got cuddly with some of her fans.
The star posted a series of snaps to her Instagram account of her hugging and getting playful with various diehard Gomez followers.
In memento, Selena posed with a group of handsome young men in Amsterdam as she wore a pair of spectacles.
No need to swallow her pride: While her new movie did poorly over the Labor Day weekend in the US, her concert sold out at the Heineken Music Hall
Letting her freak flag fly: Selena showed off her impressively thick curls
The Rumba: The Spring Breakers star seemed confident as she pranced through her routines
The pop singer captioned the picture self-deprecatingly: 'And remember, nerds need love too #amsterdamluv #goolucck'.
Meanwhile, at the MTV VMAs last week Gomez cosied up to the We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together singer Taylor Swift, who looked older than her 23 years in a plunging black dress and smart up 'do.
Scooping up the award for Best Pop Video with Come & Get Me, the songstress beat out hot competition from Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake.
Feeling it: The star appeared to be singing with real emotion
Taking one for the team: Selena posed with some handsome men as she called herself a 'nerd'
Her adoring public: Selena posed for snaps with her fans
Where in the world: Everywhere Selena went she was greeted by her followers
The video showed the pop princess in various idyllic scenes, including a flower filled meadow and a mountain range.
The envy of teenage girls everywhere, Selena received her moonman award from Brit band One Direction.
Come & Get It is the lead single of Gomez's 2013 album, Stars Dance.
Getting down: The pop princess wrote, 'Oslo, I love you', on her Instagram
Shy showing: Selena seemed a bit more weary of the camera than her fans
Hugs all around: The super star received a few warm embraces for a photo op
Although she looked remarkably fresh-faced at the awards show, she is currently in the middle of a 56 city world tour for the album.
Having just played at various cities in Canada, the starlet has now moved on to the European leg of her tour.
The city she performed in prior to Amsterdam was Oslo.

Constitutional Law
do they still allow managers at Milberg to create slush funds for their nieces/nephews?
So, let's see if I got this right.
After the flood of fraud that occurred in a dot com era gone wrong (Worldcom, Enron, Parmalat, Adelphia, Tyco and the list goes on and on), Sarbanes-Oxley was implemented to help prevent further such financial disasters with the impetus of helping protect small investors.
Now, some are pushing for a lapse in Sarbanes-Oxley and also for the pleading standard to be made nearly insurmountable – even for legitimate securities fraud class actions – by offering a large shield of immunity for many "secondary tiers" engaging in corporate malfeasance?
Isn't this akin to a license to shill? A license to pillage the small investor without fear of legitimate legal recourse from the victims?
And this is supposed to stop fraud?!
NO!! This is supposed to stop the legitimately aggrieved investors (average Joe victims) from seeking justice and to pad the pens of the uber rich!
This is madness, PLEASE STOP ACTING AS TRAITORS TO YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS AND STOP THIS INSANITY!!!

Oh! What a sad chapter! I can't believe Legolas got sent away before his mother died! It must be really difficult for him, especially after what he's been through! Which is really surprising that he hasn't mentioned anything about it to anyone! I wonder how Elladan and Elrohir are going to help him!

FRENCH Military combat knife -Machete OLD & Original
The lucky high buyer will win a FRENCH Military combat knife -Machete. OLD & Original !!
My limited research dates this to World War II or before.
This is a large knife machete --measures 20 inches long and it is HEAVY DUTY--total weight is about 2 1/2 lbs! The blade is right at 14 inches long and the handle is 6 inches long
Both the knife and leather sheath are marked FRANCE as shown. No other markings I can find anywhere.
The condition is as shown--used and stained some but remains in pretty good condition for the age and what it was used for. The original leather sheath has a brass snap and a small brass liner. The leather is not very plyable and the snap has not be snapped closed for a long time--I tried but couldn't get it to close around when the knife was inserted in the sheath --I think a little leather treatment would do the trick but I want to leave this just EXACTLY how it was found and let the collector do as they choose.
Several photos so take a close look before you offer--

While the first trailer successfully conveyed the dark, almost pulpy tone of Park Chan-wook's Hollywood debut, we've got an entirely different look at Stoker today with a brand-new UK trailer. Coming from Empire, this one includes some of the same footage but quite a few new pieces, while having a completely different structure and tone, and is perhaps even more unsettling. With a story from Prison Break star Wentworth Miller, check it out below for the film starring Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode, Jacki Weaver and Dermot Mulroney.
After India's (Wasikowska's) father dies in an auto accident, her Uncle Charlie (Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evelyn (Kidman). Soon after his arrival, she comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him.
Stoker arrives on March 1st, 2013.

Meth test not currently part of home inspection process in Indiana
Morgan Co. couple stuck w/ meth home
INDIANAPOLIS - A Morgan County couple was shocked to find that their home was contaminated with meth. Their three children became sick and their dog suddenly died of cancer, so they decided to try a home test that ended up changing their lives.
The couple's home had been fully inspected by a professional company, but a meth test is not currently part of the home inspection process in Indiana.
RELATED: Indiana meth bust addresses | County-by-county breakdown of meth busts
Meth is difficult to detect by sight or smell, but it is so toxic that the cleanup can cost up to $10,000.
A state-certified company called Crisis Cleaning uses test squares in areas where the meth gas can't be washed away with a detergent or other substance on areas like the wall, carpet or air vents.
The testers will use a cloth to swipe horizontally and vertically in the square. Workers then take the cloth, put it in a tube and mail it away for the results.
"The only thing that surprises me is that some people assume it's the low-income or the hoarder-type houses, but we are finding it is in high-dollar houses. We are getting ready to do a house that is probably a $500,000 house. It is really beautiful and you would never imagine that somebody living in a house like that would do meth," said Donetta Held, president of Crisis Cleaning.
A do-it-yourself meth test kit costs about $49 and a professional could charge as much as $150.
In Indiana, when a home is deemed meth-contaminated, the carpeting and the padding must be removed.
State police will launch a registry that lists all homes and vehicles in Indiana that have been contaminated with meth. The database is expected to launch July 1.

Wild Season is an interesting looking game as it is apparently a mix between a farming simulation title and an RPG. Developed by Soedesco, Wild Season features a down on their luck resident of the city who has come into possession of a run-down farm in a small village. Unfortunately this chance to change their luck isn't going to be as easy as your character thought it would be.
The next installment into the Reckless Racing franchise will be heading to Android later this month. The last two Reckless Racing games were developed by Pixelbite Studios and released onto Google Play by Polarbit but while Pixelbite will be making Reckless Racing 3, there is no mention of Polarbit publishing it this time. That doesn't mean that they won't be publishing it, but for whatever reason it seems like that might be up in the air right now.
DryGin Studios will be offering up their viral simulation game Bio Inc for free starting October 28th and lasting until October 30th, 2014. This is in collaboration with "App of the Day" and folks who don't already own the full version of the game will be able to unlock it for free.
Nexon M, otherwise known as Nexon Mobile, have released a second game this week called Legion of Heroes. We originally reported on this game coming to Android back in July of this year and since then Legion of Heroes has been under the final stages of development and testing until today. This is much different than their release yesterday of Base Busters, mainly because this game is an MMORPG.
SEGA is gearing up to pull Jet Set Radio from Google Play in the very near future. This won't be a permanent disappearance of the game but there is also no exact date announced yet as to when it will return to Google Play once it is gone.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Dong Nguyen of .GEARS Studios must be feeling awfully delighted. Rovio, the studio behind the smash-hit Angry Birds franchise, has released a new game called Retry, which bears a number of similarities to Nguyen's uber-popular Flappy Bird.
Treemen Games has created what is absolutely, one of the most action-packed games, that is singularly focused and centered around driving. Forget about brakes, you don't need them. PAKO is a Car Chase Simulator for Mobile Devices created by Treemen Games. The studio has three team members, and they are located in Helsinki, the capital and largest city of Finland.
If you have been a PC gamer for a long period of time then you might remember way back in the day when Chess games started getting released for PC that featured animated pieces. These pieces would move and if there happen to be an opponents piece in their new spot, they would attack it. These attacks were fully animated as well. It looked pretty cool back then and we have had many iterations of the same idea since. Games Workshop will be bringing a similar concept to the Warhammer franchise soon.
While this new title from Thumbstar Games can be played any time of the year, it is more fitting right now with Halloween around the corner. GunFinger is an FPS style game featuring, you guessed it, zombies. Lots and lots of zombies actually which fits right in with this month's holiday.
This is a good week to be an Android gamer. There are some excellent games that should be hitting the Play Store. Sometimes gaming in the Android community means we have to wait for some titles after they have been released on iOS. That is the case with Camouflaj and Logan's highly praised game Republique. What is so great about waiting this time? Republique's game delivery system has been episodic. The first two episodes have already been released on iOS. The Android community will be able to pick up Episodes 1, 2 and 3, when Episode 3 is released Thursday, October 23rd. The game will be available in the Play Store and the Amazon App Store. Episode One has already been released in the Amazon App Store, but only for Kindle Fire devices. Republique has an intriguing story and an amazing heroine as the main protagonist.

In support of the North Pacific Coast Guard Forum (NPCGF), an international partnership of Coast Guard-like agencies from Japan, Russian, China, South Korea, Canada and the U.S., the U.S. Coast Guard will host an international, humanitarian service training exercise Aug. 24-27 in the Port Angeles, Wash., and Seattle areas.
The training evolution, named Pacific Unity to honor the partnerships that exist among the NPCGF nations, will bring humanitarian professionals from all the NPCGF partner nations to train on Aids to Navigation, Search and Rescue and Maritime Security Operations.

Smith Brothers, Inc., Chesapeake Bay-based barge and marine equipment charter company, recently added the tug Capt. Kenneth to its fleet of inland and truckable tugs.
Falmouth Coastguard Operations Center (CGOC) will become part of the new Coastguard national network for the first time this week.

Customers of a "large-scale" Auckland retailer have been targeted by a card-skimming scam, with hundreds of thousands stolen and all the major banks hit.
Police have now launched an investigation, but would not comment on the identity of the retailer, which they said was co-operating.
Christchurch customer Charlotte Helm was contacted by her bank after two large sums of money were withdrawn from her account from the UK.
Helm was told details from her card had been stolen or scanned while she had made a transaction.
Scammers then utilised those details to create duplicate cards, which they used to withdraw cash from overseas ATMs.
She said she was upset to hear her accounts had been compromised.
"I was fine in the end because we got our money back, but at the same time, how the hell does this even happen?
"I really wanted to know who it was that had the security breach, and how on earth my bank card was compromised. That frustrates me - as a customer I think we should be entitled to know that stuff."
The skim had occurred while she was on holiday in Auckland
Helm was reimbursed by the bank last week, and she was happy with the bank's response.
Detective Senior Seargent Aaron Pascoe confirmed police had launched an investigation.
"Police have received a complaint from a bank about card skimming offending that has occurred at some business premises in Auckland," he said.
He said the offending had involved all the major banks, and the retailer involved was assisting the investigation.
Kiwibank communications manager Bruce Thompson said the retailer skimming incident had affected more than 2500 customers, and the bank took immediate action to protect accounts.
He explained a skimming device would scan details of the card, send them overseas, and duplicate cards would be made. Then an orchestrated attempt would be made to remove money from the accounts."
He said there was "nothing customers could have done to protect themselves, and there was nothing they did wrong."
An ASB spokesperson said the bank had "identified a recent trend of suspicious activity in relation to a non-ASB merchant. This is a continuation of the compromised activity from another bank's merchant that was detected two weeks ago."
She said ASB had already cancelled some customer cards.
This news follows revelations last month that cards from a number of New Zealand banks had been compromised after "skimming" devices were installed on inner city Auckland ATMs.
Bank representatives said ATMs were more frequently targeted by skimmers, and for a retailer to be compromised was less common.
Police and banks would not comment on how retailers could protect themselves from skimmers.
