Can a detective bring up juvenile records?

Someone close to me is being investigated for a piece of property that came up missing. There are other people involved as well but today the detective brought up juvenile records to the investigation. The person I know is NOT a juvenile. Can a detective really bring juvenile records to the table if the person is an adult now? This tactic really pisses me off and I dont think its right at all. Let me know. The state is Minnesota.

CIVIL WAR
the civil war started over "states rights" The Federal government was trying to enact controls over things that the southern states thought were their own business. They quit the Union and started their own nation, the Confederate States of America. The Union fought to get them back into the one nation.

2 PAGE
SLAVERY
Slavery was legal in the southern states and in some northern states. After the Battle of Antietam in 1862, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves in SOUTHERN states, but not northern states. After the civil slavery ended in all states with the 13th Amendment. The legal end to slavery in the nation came in December 1865 when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified, it declared neither slavery, except as a punishment for crime where of the party have been convicted, exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

CONFEDERACY
South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas were the seven deep south cotton states seceded by Fevyart 1861. These seven states formed the Confederate States of America in February 4, 1861 with Jefferson Davis as president, and a governmental structure closely modeled on the United States Constitution. The attack on Fort Sumter, President Lincoln called or a volunteer army from each state, in two months, four more Southern slave states declared their secession and joined the Confederacy. The northwestern portion of Virginia seceed from Virginia, joining the Union as the new state of West Virginia On Jun 20, 1863. The end of 1861, Missouri and Kentucky were divided and each of them had pro-Southern and pro-Northern government.

UNION STATES
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, India, Lowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin were the twenty three states that remained loyal to the Union. During the war, Nevada and West Virginia joined as new states of the Union. Tennessee and Louisiana were returned to Union military control early in the war. The territories of Colorado, Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington fought on the Union side. Several slave-holding Native American tribes supported the Confederacy, giving the Indian territory which is now, Oklahoma, a small bloody civil war

THE WAR BEGINS
Lincoln’s victory in the presidential election of 1860 triggered South Carolina’s declaration of secession from the Union. By February 1861, six more Southern states made similar declarations. On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President. In his inaugural address, he argued that the Constitution was a more perfect union than the earlier Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, that it was a binding contract, and called any secession "legally void”. The South sent delegations to Washington and offered to pay for the federal properties and enter into a peace treaty with the United States. Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, Fort Monroe, Fort Pickens and Fort Taylor were the remaining Union forts in the Confederacy, and Lincoln was determined to hold Fort Sumter. Four states in the upper South Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Virginia, which had repeatedly rejected Confederate overtures, now refused to send forces against their neighbors, declared their secession, and joined the Confederacy. To reward Virginia, the Confederate capital was moved to Richmond. The city was the symbol of the Confederacy. Richmond was in a highly vulnerable location at the end of a tortuous Confederate supply line. Although Richmond was heavily fortified, supplies for the city would be reduced by Sherman’s capture of Atlanta and cut off almost entirely when Grant besieged Petersburg and its railroads that supplied the Southern capital.

I have contradictory lease terms. What am I liable to pay?

I rent in Minnesota. In my lease, there is a term which states that the landlord must be given 2 months prior notice if I intend to leave the property on the agreed upon date. There is nothing which states the penalties if I do not, nor whether or not the lease is automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis. Just below that term there is another, which says exactly, "Tenants will vacate the apartment at the end date of this lease."

Since I gave notice that I had no intention to renew on July 1st (the last day of my lease is July 31st), am I liable for August due to the 2-months notice term, or did my landlord shoot themselves in the foot with putting a term in there that says I must be out by the end date on the lease?

I have moved to another state, am selling my home and homeowners insurance will be cancelled?

I have moved to another state but am selling my home in another state. My homeowners insurance will be cancelling in a few months. At the time of cancellation they said my option could be to do an investment property and rent out the home if it hasn’t sold, but the insurance would double! I don’t want to rent out the property. Otherwise, the home would be considered vacant and I need to go to the state for that. But, I need insurance on my home! It’s in Minnesota. All I can think of doing is moving back in so it is owner occupied until the house sells. What have other people done in this situation.

Are microwaves dangerous?

I’ve heard both sides, and I want to know whether they’re dangerous. I found on a website (http://www.relfe.com/microwave.html) that:

"MICROWAVE COOKING
is Killing People!

By Stephanie Relfe B.Sc. (Sydney)

Microwave cooking is one of the most important causes of ill health. It is certainly one of the most ignored.

There was a lawsuit in 1991 in Oklahoma. A woman named Norma Levitt had hip surgery, but was killed by a simple blood transfusion when a nurse "warmed the blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven!"

Logic suggests that if heating is all there is to microwave cooking, then it doesn’t matter how something is heated. Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens. Does it not therefore follow that microwaving cooking does something quite different?

A little evidence of the harm caused by microwaving cooking was given by the University of Minnesota in a radio announcement:

"Microwaves … are not recommended for heating a baby’s bottle. The bottle may seem cool to the touch, but the liquid inside may become extremely hot and could burn the baby’s mouth and throat… Heating the bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in the milk. In infant formulas, there may be a loss of some vitamins. In expressed breast milk, some protective properties may be destroyed…. Warming a bottle by holding it under tap water or by setting it in a bowl of warm water, then testing it on your wrist before feeding, may take a few minutes longer, but it is much safer".
There have been very few scientific studies done on the effect of eating food microwaved food. This is rather surprising when you think about the fact that microwaves have been with us for only a few decades – and that in that time the incidence of many diseases has continued to increase.

Two researchers, Blanc and Hertel, confirmed that microwave cooking significantly changes food nutrients. Hertel previously worked as a food scientist for several years with one of the major Swiss food companies. He was fired from his job for questioning procedures in processing food because they denatured it. He got together with Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Biochemistry and the University Institute for Biochemistry.

They studied the effect that microwaved food had on eight individuals, by taking blood samples immediately after eating. They found that after eating microwaved food, haemoglobin levels decreased. "These results show anaemic tendencies. The situation became even more pronounced during the second month of the study".

Who knows what results they would have found if they had studied people who ate microwaved food for a year or more?

The violent change that microwaving causes to the food molecules forms new life forms called radiolytic compounds. These are mutations that are unknown in the natural world. Ordinary cooking also causes the formation of some radiolytic compounds (which is no doubt one reason why it is better to eat plenty of raw food), but microwaving cooking causes a much greater number. This then causes deterioration in your blood and immune system.

Lymphocytes (white blood cells) also showed a more distinct short-term decrease following the intake of microwaved food than after the intake of all the other variants.

Another change was a decrease in the ratio of HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol) values.

Each of these indicators pointed to degeneration

The results were published in "Search for Health" in the Spring of 1992. How was this research greeted? A powerful trade organisation, the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electroapparatuses for Households and Industry somehow made the President of the Court of Seftigen issue a `gag order’. Hertel and Blanc were told that if they published their findings they would face hefty fines or up to one year in prison. In response to this, Blanc recanted his findings. Hertel, on the other hand, went on a lecture tour and demanded a jury trial.

FINALLY, in 1998 the Court `Gag Order’ was removed. In a judgment delivered at Strasbourg on 25 August 1998 in the case of Hertel v. Switzerland, the European Court of Human Rights held that there had been a violation of Hertel’s rights in the 1993 decision. The Court decided that the `gag order’ prohibiting him form declaring that microwaved food is dangerous to health was contrary to the right to freedom of expression. In addition, Switzerland was sentenced to pay compensation of F40,000.

RUSSIANS BAN MICROWAVE OVENS

After the World War II, the Russians also experimented with microwave ovens. From 1957 up to recently, their research has been carried out mainly at the Institute of Radio Technology at Klinsk, Byelorussia. According to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of the results of Russian and German research – and was apparently prosecuted for doing so
1. Heating prepared meats in a microwave sufficiently for human consumption created:
* d-Nitrosodiethanolamine (a well-known cancer-causing agent)
* Destabilization of active protein biomolecular compounds
* Creation of a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere
* Creation of cancer-causing agents within protein-hydrosylate compounds in milk and cereal grains;
2. Microwave emissions also caused alteration in the catabolic (breakdown) behavior of glucoside – and galactoside – elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this way;
3. Microwaves altered catabolic behavior of plant-alkaloids when raw, cooked or frozen vegetables were exposed for even very short periods;
4. Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, especially in raw root vegetables;
5. Ingestion of micro-waved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells in blood;
6. Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occur

What forms of energy are present in a bouncing ball?

Is kinetic, heat, and chemical the forms of energy present in the simulated silicon in the article? I’m having trouble understanding which energy forms they’re talking about.
They talk about the speed changing the properties of the ball, making it stop rebounding off the surface, and adhere to the surface instead.
____________________________________________________

If Traveling Very Fast, the Very Small Just Stick: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/science/02obsbounce.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

— In the everyday world, the harder you throw something like a basketball against the floor, the higher it will bounce.

In the world of the very, very small, things bounce differently.

Traian Dumitrica, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Minnesota, and Mayur Suri, a graduate student, ran computer simulations to precisely calculate the bouncing behavior of a sphere a few billionths of a meter in diameter consisting of about 30,000 silicon atoms.

For speeds up to 2,700 miles per hour, the silicon nanosphere exhibited basketball-like behavior — the faster it hit the surface, the greater the rebound velocity.

But then, at slighter higher velocities, the rebound velocity suddenly dropped, and at 3,300 m.p.h., the simulated nanoball didn’t bounce at all. It stuck to the surface.

The reason is that the pressure of impact rearranged the chemical bonds of some of the silicon atoms, which then went through a second transition during the bounce.

The additional chemical bonds and generation of heat dissipated the kinetic energy, slowing the bounce. At high enough velocities, so much of the kinetic energy was dissipated that the adhesive forces of the surface caught the nanoball.

The findings appear in the August issue of Physical Review B. Other scientists have already used this phenomenon to avoid splattering when applying coatings of nanoparticle.

Good midwestern singletrack biking vacation destination?

Hello,
A group of us are looking to take a mountain biking vacation next summer and we’re just looking for some suggestions. We would like to do a week-long trip, with about 4 days of biking and the rest of the time available for driving. Now, economical times being what they are, we have some restrictions on where we can travel. As much as we would love to go to British Columbia or Moab, we will need to stick closer to our homes, which are in Wisconsin and Minnesota. So, does anyone have any good ideas of places to go biking (again, singletrack mtn. biking, please) in the central North America area? If you have a map of the continent in front of you, please imagine or actually do this: Put your pencil on Buffalo, NY, and draw a circle counter clockwise from Buffalo through Ontario, Manitoba, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, a bit of Oklahoma, northern Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, some of Pennsylvania, and back to Buffalo. It does not need to be a perfect circle. An oval would be acceptable as well. Do you know of any great places to spend 4 days mountain biking anywhere inside that circle/oval? We’re looking for some challenging trails that are good for full-suspension bikes. Suggestions for lodging (vacation properties, interesting hostels, or camping preferred, no hotels please) and fun area nightlife or decent brewery tours in the area of the bike trails would also be welcome. Thanks everyone!
