The laws about sexual assault and things like that are compared state by state here. Overall, consensus seems to be on age differences of more than three years being a problem, but specific age restrictions vary from state to state, as do charges.

Dosn't matter a bit FBI? CIA? RGB? TFB?

If she was getting call backs, she should tell EVERY ONE WHO CALLS, AWS are scammers, and they should register with the FTC: and START Signed and dated PHONE LOGS. Every one I hear gets these phone calls, I show them the origional post card that started it all, and my phone log. I have clued in about 20 people, and we have filed over 15 reports for illegal telemarketing contact, i.e. Dont call EVER, and ... they ... call @ $500 per complaint.

Remember: REMEMBER! Documented phone logs make diffrence. If you can document DNC and the call back time and date. Give them a call and get on their DNC list ANYWAY. So when they do call...

That's actually a very reasonably policy. "We expect your undivided attention in this legal matter. We'll value your time accordingly."

The last jury selection I attended, everyone in the room was concerned about being chosen for the multi-week domestic abuse case. Several single-parents tried to be excused, but all were denied because covering for their kids was considered "an inconvenience" and not a necessity. I saw exactly one person be excused from jury duty prior to the selection process - an elderly woman on oxygen and taking hallucinogenic meds. If you're not doped-up and can fog a mirror, you qualify for jury duty in the States.

I did a little searching, and Maryland is par for the course on jury comp. The data is a little stale, but it's representative. Your employer can't legally fire you while you're on jury duty, but he can force you to burn all your leave and then take a leave-of-absence (i.e. no pay.) $15 per day won't cover beans. Minimum wage in the US is currently $5.85/hr, moving up to $6.55/hr in July. $15 is about 2.5 hours of minimum-wage labor. A full-time minimum-wage employee is earning $46.80/day. Basically, regardless of your employment status, jury duty in the States is "punishment."

Ouch, here in Connecticut, "The program offers an incentive of $ 5 per watt for the first 5 kilowatts (kw) of a system's installed capacity, with a maximum rebate of $ 25,000 per household."

(Basically cuts the $37,000 average system price here in half, but I don't use that much, about 2/3rds of you...however I do pay nearly 20 cents per kWh. Your $47k system would cost you $22,000 out of pocket here...)

Of course, you pay about $1000/year, I pay about $1900. Not considering a car, you'd barely break even.

Also, state statute, "requires electric companies...to provide a credit for power produced by residential customers...who generate electricity from solar energy... It requires electric companies to install metering equipment for such customers."

Essentially the installers offer two basic packages, one to cover the average house, and a half-sized one at over $9,000, which imo would do far better for a car with no sugar supplier or labor needed and throw the extra at the house!

(If only I had that spare $18,500 lying around...)

New York City has shortened the yellow light for as long as I can remember and it was for practical reasons. The four-second (and sometimes shorter) delay discourages yellow light runners and theoretically makes the intersections slightly safer. The temptation to run the yellow is quickly squelched
It has been criticized over the years, too, and the delay goes up and down depending on what year you're talking about.

I don't see how that matters. The GPL is a license, not a contract. It doesn't grant rights. It's just an easy way of saying "if you agree to these conditions, you can use my copyrighted work". By distributing something under the GPL, he's not entering into a contract; he's simply waiving some of his rights under the copyright statute.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that being under 18 doesn't mean you can't waive rights. A quick search shows that people are typically mirandized down to age 14, for example.

Now the bad news -- we live in a society that tolerates 20,000 annual alcohol-related fatalities (40% of total traffic fatalities) and cares more about Brittany Spears' antics than the national diabetes epidemic.

But this isn't because we don't care.

Think about it this way. In a bookstore or grocery the company is negligent if they put the wrong price on something and then let it be sold as such. However obtaining items under such situations do not result in criminal prosecutions. ... The fault here should lie with the Casino not the players.

I contacted Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal's office and was advised that the initiative is being handled by the General Law Committee. I contacted their office on 09 March 2007 and was informed that the proposed legislation would likely be attatched to House Bill #6981

According to Connecticut statutes, yes. Sexual contact with a student under the age of 16 years would probably be prosecuted as 4th Degree Sexual Assault which is only a Class D Felony, versus the Class C Felony which this teacher was charged under.

Nice idea but since both electrical and natural gas rates are, for the most part, regulated industries, you can end up with situations where a company wanted to raise rates because people were conserving too much. Don't believe me? Read on.

I didn't say thrown out of the car, dumbass, I said out of the seat. Try driving with the front seat passenger in your lap (who is also required to be belted). It's the same reason racing cars have bucket seats, which basically prevent the driver from sliding side to side, unlike bench-style seats.

You'll claim this is prattle, but I'm certainly http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=1388&q=259430 >not the only one who claims what I have said. But if you want to be an organ donor, by all means, be my guest.

Q. If my customer uses a coupon when making a purchase, do I charge sales tax on the price before or after subtracting the coupon?

A. Sales and use taxes must be calculated on the sales price net of all price reductions from coupons. Any additional value assigned by the retailer, such as to double or triple the coupon, is also excludable from the sales price. For example, if the price of the item was $5.00 and the customer presented a $.50 coupon, sales tax would apply to the net price, $4.50.

Connecticut passed a similar law last July, thanks to pressure from citizen action groups. All DRE machines must include paper verification.

Here's the WebLoyalty online demo.. This is triggered after checkout from some other store. All the customer provides is an E-mail address, or at least a click on the big red button below the E-mail address form. Their credit card information is taken automatically from the previous transaction.

The key to WebLoyalty is that it's embedded in VirtualCart, a popular shopping cart program, and is on by default. It's quite possible for a merchant to be serving the WebLoyalty scam without even being aware of it. The merchant can't even turn it off directly. From the VirtualCart WebLoyalty FAQ:

• Q. How can webloyalty.com afford to offer Special Rewards and not get paid?
• A. webloyalty.com ultimately generates its revenue from the customer. Each customer who claims the Special Reward is offered the chance to join a discount shopping and protection service (Reservation Rewards), discount travel service (Travel Values Plus), shopping protection service (Buyer Assurance), or credit card and identity protection service (Wallet Shield). Although there is never an obligation for the customer to continue after the 30-day free trial, many customers choose to continue a service for its valuable benefits. This subset of consumers provides revenue to webloyalty.com.
• Q. Why allow the customer the opportunity to transfer his information as opposed to re-entering it?
• A. We believe the customer is always right. And after chatting with hundreds of customers, we heard one thing loud and clear... they want convenience. Most consumers believe allowing them to transfer their personal and financial information with their express permission is much more convenient than re-entering it. Just ask Amazon.com's customers!
• Q. How do I opt-out of this program?
• A. Send us an e-mail to support@vcart.com with your cart ID and we will be more than happy to review your account for removal from this program. virtualCART reserves the right to require all merchants to participate in the program.

And there you have it, the world's most successful phishing scam, run by a Harvard MBA.

If you need to sue those guys, look them up at the Secretary of State of Connecticut , web site, which has their real address and the names and addresses of the corporate officers. Their actual business name is "WebLoyalty.com, Inc."

Name one.

Fine:

Aggravated rape of an 11 year old could net you 5 years in CT. If the victim were 6, the minimum is only 10 years, which is damn close enough to 9 years for comparison.

If this really is Tony, next time you are clearly wrong apologize under your real name and don't change the argument.

Just for you: Apology withdrawn.

same goes for the governor of CT, my home state, john rowland. he gave himself a raise while the state's economy is in shambles.

That's not (cue the violins) the worst of it, he's also a crook.

He'll likely be impeached.
