a judge of a court of record, the disabled judge shall be
entitled to receive the maximum retirement allowance provided by
law for a judge of the district court pursuant to section

129 s 1; 1981 c 224 s 219; 1986 c 444
Subdivision 1.    Waiver.  A judge who elects to retire under
provisions of section 490.101 and who has an unexpired balance
of the elected term yet to run after such retirement, shall, in
order to receive the retirement compensation hereinafter

office, from the date of such retirement to the date of the
expiration of the term for which such judge was elected, and
receive only during such period and thereafter retirement pay as
hereinafter outlined.  This subdivision shall not apply to any
judge who has retired prior to April 25, 1959.
Subd. 2.    Amount.  (a) If, at the time of retirement, the
judge has
attained the age of at least 70 years and has served for 15
years as such judge, or as such judge and as judge of a court of
record, the retiree shall receive for life, one-half the
compensation allotted to the office at the time of retirement or
on July 1, 1967, whichever is greater.
(b) If, at the time of retirement, the judge has attained
the age of at least 65 years and has served for 24 years as such
judge, or as such judge and as a judge of a court of record, the
retiree shall receive for life, one-half of the compensation
allotted for the office at the time of retirement or on July 1,
1967, whichever is greater.
Except for per diem payments made pursuant to section
484.62, and retirement pay adjustments pursuant to section
490.025, subdivision 2, it is unlawful for any public officer to
pay a retired judge an amount greater than one-half of the
compensation allotted to the office of such retired judge at the
time of retirement or on July 1, 1967, whichever is greater,
except when said retired judge shall have been appointed by the
district court, or by the Supreme Court, to serve as a special
master in litigation before the district court; in which case
per diem payments may be made to said retired judge in amounts
equal to per diem payments made pursuant to section 484.62.
Where such payments are hereafter made in violation of this
subdivision, it is the duty of the public officer making such
payment to recover the amount so paid but without interest.
Such recovery may be made by as many as 30 installment
deductions from future retirement payments to a retired judge or
by action in the district court. Unrecovered overpayments
outstanding at the time of the death of a retired judge shall be
a lien upon the judge's estate, in favor of the state of
Minnesota.
Subd. 3.    Application for retirement.  Any judge of the
district court who is serving in
such capacity on April 24, 1949 and who has attained or
hereafter attains, the age of 73 or more years and has completed
15 years of service, as such judge, or as such judge and as
judge of a court of record, shall receive retirement pay
hereunder if the judge applies for retirement within one year
after becoming eligible, but not otherwise.
Any judge of the district court whose initial service as
such judge began after April 24, 1949, after reaching a 70th
birthday, shall apply for retirement within one year after such
birthday or forfeit all retirement benefits hereunder.  However,
if a judge of the district court has not completed 15 years of
service on attaining the age of 70 years, the judge shall
receive retirement pay hereunder if the judge applies for
retirement within six months of the date of completion of 15
years of service.  Provided that any district judge past the age
of 74 years still serving on the bench and for whom retirement
has been allowed by a previous act passed by the 1959
legislature shall be permitted retirement allowance if the judge
retires during the current term of office or during an extended
term of three years thereafter which extension may be granted in
the same manner as provided in section 490.101, subdivision 4.
Subd. 3a.    Portion of maximum retirement.  If a judge of the
district court has attained
the age of at least 70 years and has completed ten or more years
of service as a district court judge or 15 or more years as a
judge of a court of record including at least six years as a
district court judge but less than the number of years required
for maximum retirement benefits, the judge may apply for
retirement and receive retirement pay of that portion of the
maximum retirement allowance allotted to the office which the
years of service as a district court judge, prior to retirement,
bears to the number of years required for the maximum retirement
allowance of a district court judge.  Years of service shall be
determined by the whole year rather than a fraction thereof.
Any district court judge presently serving who is over 70 years
of age shall forfeit any benefits under this subdivision by
serving beyond the expiration of the judge's present term.
Subd. 4.    Payment of benefits.  Retirement allowances shall be
paid by the
executive director of the Minnesota State Retirement System in
the same manner as other benefits are paid.  Payments by a
county, if any, shall be made in the manner prescribed by the
Subd. 5.  Repealed, 1977 c 35 s 21
Subd. 6.    Surviving spouse.  The spouse of every judge of the
district or
Supreme Court who dies, in active service, shall be paid
one-half of the retirement compensation to which the judge would
have been entitled on the date of death, if the judge would have
been otherwise eligible for retirement under the provisions of
section 490.101 or under section 490.025, and had retired on
that date, irrespective of whether the judge attained the age of
retirement at the date of death or not and irrespective of
whether the judge had served 15 years as district judge or as a
judge of a court of record, and irrespective of whether the
judge had previously been eligible to retire, but had not
retired under the provisions of section 490.101, prior to death,
provided the spouse had been married to the judge for three
years prior to the judge's death.  The spouse of every judge of
the district court or Supreme Court who dies after retiring
shall be paid one-half of the retirement compensation which the
judge was receiving at the date of death.
Any judge who has heretofore retired and exercised the
option previously set forth in section 490.102, shall, after
July 1, 1961, be paid the full retirement compensation herein
provided for, and the judge's spouse shall upon the judge's
death be entitled to compensation as herein set forth.
The term "spouse" as used in this subdivision means the
surviving spouse of a district or Supreme Court judge, but only
if the spouse was married to the judge for a period of not less
than three years immediately prior to the date of the judge's
retirement or death, whichever occurs first.
If the spouse, either of a retired judge or a judge who
dies in active service, who is otherwise qualified under this
section, has not attained the age of 40 years at the time of the
judge's death, the spouse will not become eligible for
retirement compensation payments hereunder until the spouse's
40th birthday but shall receive the payments thereafter.
A spouse who is entitled to a retirement compensation under
the provisions of this subdivision and subdivision 7 shall be
paid the retirement compensation for the period of the spouse's
life, unless the spouse remarries, in which event the retirement
compensation is to cease and terminate.  All judges of the
district court and of the Supreme Court shall contribute four
percent of their state salaries, which amount shall be deducted
from their salaries at least once each month and paid to the
commissioner of finance to be deposited in a special survivor
retirement account.  This contribution shall be for the purpose
of providing the survivor benefits established by this
subdivision and subdivision 7 and such amount as may be
necessary to carry out this purpose is hereby appropriated from
the special retirement account.  It is declared to be the policy
of the legislature that the survivor benefits provided for
herein shall be wholly paid from contributions by the judges to
the special retirement account.  To implement this policy the
rate of contribution by the judges shall be reviewed
periodically and contributions adjusted to make this account
sufficient to cover all benefits.
Subd. 7.    Pre-1961 spousal benefits.  In addition to the
provisions of Minnesota
Statutes 1961, section 490.102, subdivisions 1 to 6, inclusive,
and notwithstanding the limitations thereof, the surviving
spouse of every judge of the district or Supreme Court who died
in active service prior to May 19, 1961, who had been married to
the judge for five years prior to the judge's death and who has
now attained the age of 49 years, shall be paid during the
spouse's life one-half of the retirement compensation to which
the judge would have been entitled, if the judge had been
retired as of date of death.  For the purposes of this
subdivision, the judge shall be deemed to have been entitled to
full retirement and to have retired as of the day of death.  If
retirement of a district judge from active service was by
executive order prior to enactment of Laws 1949, chapter 640,
the judge's unremarried surviving spouse who would otherwise
qualify under this section will receive one-half of the
compensation the judge would have received if the judge's
retirement occurred in 1949 after enactment of that law and the
judge was eligible for compensation thereunder.
Subd. 8.    Special survivor retirement account.  On June 30 of
each year, the executive director
of the Minnesota State Retirement System shall review the fiscal
condition of the special survivor retirement account in the
light of the prospective demands for payment therefrom in the
next fiscal year.  If the director determines that the balance
in such account on June 30 plus the prospective receipts in the
next fiscal year appear to be insufficient to meet the demands
on such account during the next fiscal year, the director on
July 1 of each year shall make an order increasing the rate of
contribution to such account by the several judges of the
district court from four percent of salary to such rate of
contribution as will, in the judgment of the director, provide
sufficient funds in said special survivor benefit account to pay
all demand thereon during the next fiscal year.  If on any
following June 30, the director should determine that a lower
rate of contribution will provide sufficient moneys to pay all
demands on such special survivor benefit account, the director
may on the next July 1, make and file an order reducing the rate
of contribution to such rate as will in the director's judgment
provide sufficient moneys to meet all demands on such special
account in the current fiscal year but in no event lower than
four percent.  Deductions of contributions shall be made in
accordance with rates prescribed by law or by order of the
director, as the case may be.

Code, title 38, section 4303(13), and who returns to state
employment as a judge upon discharge from service in the
uniformed service within the time frame required in United
States Code, title 38, section 4312(e), may obtain service
credit for the period of the uniformed service, provided that
the judge did not separate from uniformed service with a
dishonorable or bad conduct discharge or under other than
honorable conditions.
(b) The judge may obtain credit by paying into the fund
equivalent member contribution based on the contribution rate or
rates in effect at the time that the uniformed service was
performed multiplied by the full and fractional years being
purchased and applied to the annual salary rate.  The annual
salary rate is the average annual salary during the purchase
period that the judge would have received if the judge had
continued to provide employment services to the state rather
than to provide uniformed service, or if the determination of
that rate is not reasonably certain, the annual salary rate is
the judge's average salary rate during the 12-month period of
judicial employment rendered immediately preceding the purchase
(c) The equivalent employer contribution and, if
applicable, the equivalent employer additional contribution,
must be paid by the employing unit, using the employer and
employer additional contribution rate or rates in effect at the
time that the uniformed service was performed, applied to the
same annual salary rate or rates used to compute the equivalent
member contribution.
(d) If the member equivalent contributions provided for in
this section are not paid in full, the judge's allowable
service credit must be prorated by multiplying the full and
fractional number of years of uniformed service eligible for
purchase by the ratio obtained by dividing the total member
contributions received by the total member contributions
otherwise required under this section.
(e) To receive allowable service credit under this
section, the contributions specified in this section and section 490.121
must be
transmitted to the fund during the period which begins with the
date on which the individual returns to judicial employment and
which has a duration of three times the length of the uniformed
service period, but not to exceed five years.  If the determined
payment period is calculated to be less than one year, the
contributions required under this section to receive service
credit may be within one year from the discharge date.
(f) The amount of allowable service credit obtainable under
this section and section 490.121 may not exceed five years, unless a
longer purchase
period is required under United States Code, title 38, section
(g) The state court administrator shall pay interest on all
equivalent member and employer contribution amounts payable
under this section.  Interest must be computed at a rate of
8.5 percent compounded annually from the end of each fiscal year
of the leave or break in service to the end of the month in
which payment is received.

contributions under subdivision 1a or employee contributions to
the unclassified plan in chapter 352D for judges whose service
exceeds the limit in section 490.121, subdivision 22, are
remitted.
Subd. 1c.    Additional employer contribution.  In the
event that the employer contribution under subdivision 1b and

shall be transferred to the postretirement investment fund to
pay future benefits by July 31, 2002.
Subd. 2.    Commissioner of finance.  The commissioner
of finance shall be ex officio treasurer of the judges'
retirement fund and the commissioner's general bond to the state
shall be so conditioned as to cover all liability for acting as
treasurer of this fund.  All moneys received by the commissioner
pursuant to this section shall be set aside in the state
treasury to the credit of the judges' retirement fund.  The
commissioner shall transmit monthly to the executive director
described in section 352.03, subdivision 5, a detailed statement

490.124 Maturity of benefits; retirement and survivors'
annuities.
Subdivision 1.    Basic retirement annuity.  Except as
qualified hereinafter from and after mandatory retirement date,
normal retirement date, early retirement date, or one year from
the disability retirement date, as the case may be, a retirement
annuity shall be payable to a retiring judge from the judges'
retirement fund in an amount equal to:  (1) the percent
specified in section 356.315, subdivision 7, multiplied by the
judge's final average compensation multiplied by the number of
years and fractions of years of allowable service rendered prior
to July 1, 1980; plus (2) the percent specified in section
356.315, subdivision 8, multiplied by the judge's final average
compensation multiplied by the number of years and fractions of
years of allowable service rendered after June 30, 1980.
Service that exceeds the service credit limit in section
490.121, subdivision 22, must be excluded in calculating the
retirement annuity, but compensation earned during this service
must be used in determining a judge's final average compensation
and calculating the retirement annuity.
Subd. 2.    Minimum service requirement; extension of
term.  No judge shall be eligible for an annuity at normal or
early retirement date if the judge has less than five years of
allowable service.  A judge who shall retire on or, as permitted
under sections 490.121 to 490.132, after mandatory retirement
date, shall be entitled to a proportionate annuity based upon
the allowable service of the judge at date of retirement.
A judge who was in office on December 31, 1973, and
thereafter and who, by the date on which the current term
expires, would not be eligible to retire with full benefits
under statutes in effect on December 31, 1973, may apply to the
governor for an extension to serve up to three additional years,
stating the intention of the judge to retire upon attaining
eligibility to receive a retirement allowance.  Notwithstanding
section 490.125, the governor shall forthwith make a written
order accepting the retirement application, and extending the
term of office of the judge for the period of time, not to
exceed three years, as may be necessary to make the judge
eligible for retirement, solely for purposes of computing
benefits hereunder.
Subd. 3.    Early retirement.  The retirement annuity
provided by subdivision 1 of any judge electing to retire at an
early retirement date shall be reduced by one-half of one
percent per month from the retirement date to normal retirement
date.
Subd. 4.    Disability retirement.  From and after
disability retirement date, a disabled judge shall be entitled
to continuation of the judge's full salary payable by the
judge's employer, as if the judge's office were not vacated by
retirement, for a period of up to one full year, but in no event
beyond the judge's mandatory retirement date.  During this year
the judge will earn additional service credit.  The salary
earned will be subject to retirement deductions and will be
included in computing final average compensation.  Thereafter a
disability retirement annuity computed as provided in
subdivision 1 shall be paid, provided that the judge shall
receive a minimum annuity of 25 percent of the judge's final
average compensation.
Subd. 5.    Deferred benefits.  (a) Any benefit to which
a judge is entitled under this section may be deferred until
early or normal retirement date, notwithstanding termination of
such judge's service prior thereto.
(b) The retirement annuity of, or the survivor benefit
payable on behalf of, a former judge, who terminated service
before July 1, 1997, which is not first payable until after June
30, 1997, must be increased on an actuarial equivalent basis to
reflect the change in the postretirement interest rate actuarial
assumption under section 356.215, subdivision 8, from five
percent to six percent under a calculation procedure and tables
adopted by the board of directors of the Minnesota State
Retirement System and approved by the actuary retained by the
Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement.
Subd. 6.    Part-time judges.  Notwithstanding other
provisions of this section, except as provided herein, service
by a judge who was not paid an annual salary or who served in a
jurisdiction in which the judge was entitled to practice law
while serving as a judge shall be credited only at one-half of
the regular rate.  Any period of part time uncredited judicial
service may be credited service for the purposes of sections
490.121 to 490.132 only if:
(a) The judge or the judge's employer pays to the judges'
retirement fund a sum equal to the rate of employee tax
specified in the Federal Insurance Contributions Act during the
period of part time service applied to one-half of the average
salary earned during the period of part-time service, plus
accrued interest thereon at the rate of five percent per year
compounded annually from the period of service so credited to
the date payment is made;
(b) The payment is made in not more than 36 monthly
installments; and
(c) The judge shall elect to make the payment and shall
commence doing so within 90 days after the commencement of the
judge's first term in office.
Subd. 8.    Exclusive normal retirement benefits.  Any
judge who retires after December 31, 1973, shall be entitled to
a retirement pension, retirement compensation or other
retirement payment under statutes applicable solely to judges
pursuant to this section only, except that any such judge in
office prior to January 1, 1974, who retires at or after normal
retirement age may then elect to receive during the judge's
lifetime a normal retirement annuity computed on the basis of
retirement compensation provided for such judge under statutes
in effect on December 31, 1973, in lieu of the amount of normal
retirement annuity otherwise computed under sections 490.121 to
490.132.  For purposes of this subdivision, the Conciliation
Court of the city of Duluth shall be deemed to have been a court
of record by the statutes in effect on December 31, 1973.
Subd. 9.    Survivors' annuity.  Upon the death of a
judge prior to retirement, or upon the death of a person who has
qualified for an annuity but who ceases to be a judge prior to
retirement and has not received a refund of contributions
pursuant to subdivision 12, a surviving spouse or, if there be
no surviving spouse, dependent children, shall receive an
annuity, payable monthly, equal to 60 percent of the normal
retirement annuity which would have been payable to the judge or
former judge had the date of death been the normal retirement
date, provided that the surviving spouse or dependent children
shall receive an annuity of not less than 25 percent of the
judge's or former judge's final average compensation.
If a judge, whose surviving spouse was not entitled to
survivors benefits provided solely for judges under statutes in
effect prior to January 1, 1974, shall have died prior to
retirement on or after May 23, 1973 and before January 1, 1974,
a surviving spouse and dependent children, if any, shall be
entitled to survivors benefits as provided hereunder as if such
judge had died on January 1, 1974.
Subd. 10.    Prior survivors' benefits; limitation.
Benefits provided pursuant to section 490.102, subdivision 6, or
490.1091, for a surviving spouse of a retired judge, payable
after the death of the judge, shall be limited to:
(a) Spouses of judges who have retired prior to January 1,
1974; and
(b) Spouses of judges in office on December 31, 1973 and
thereafter who elect to continue contributions pursuant to
section 490.102, subdivision 6 or 490.109.  The contributions
shall be in addition to contributions pursuant to section
490.123, and upon retirement the judge may not elect to receive
any optional annuity pursuant to subdivision 11 unless the judge
and the spouse shall waive any benefits pursuant to section
490.102, subdivision 6 or 490.1091.
No other judge in office on or after January 1, 1974, shall
be required to contribute pursuant to section 490.102,
subdivision 6 or 490.109.
Subd. 11.    Optional annuities.  No survivor or death
benefits may be paid in connection with the death of a judge who
retires after December 31, 1973, except as otherwise provided in
sections 490.121 to 490.132.  Except as provided in subdivision
10, a judge may elect to receive, instead of the normal
retirement annuity, an optional retirement annuity in the form
of an annuity payable for a period certain and for life after
that period, a joint and survivor annuity without reinstatement
in the event of the designated beneficiary predeceasing the
retired judge, or a joint and survivor annuity with
reinstatement in the event of the designated beneficiary
predeceasing the retired judge.  An optional retirement annuity
must be actuarially equivalent to a single-life annuity with no
term certain and must be established by the board of directors
of the Minnesota State Retirement System.  In establishing these
optional retirement annuity forms, the board shall obtain the
written recommendation of the actuary retained by the
Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement.  The
recommendations must be a part of the permanent records of the
board.
Subd. 12.    Refund.  (a) A person who ceases to be a
judge but who does not qualify for a retirement annuity or other
benefit under section 490.121 is entitled to a refund in an
amount equal to all the member's employee contributions to the
judges' retirement fund plus interest computed under section
(b) A refund of contributions under paragraph (a)
terminates all service credits and all rights and benefits of
the judge and the judge's survivors.  A person who becomes a
judge again after taking a refund under paragraph (a) may
reinstate the previously terminated service credits, rights, and
benefits by repaying the total amount of the previously received
refund.  The refund repayment must include interest on the total
amount previously received at an annual rate of 8.5 percent
compounded annually from the date on which the refund was
received until the date on which the refund is repaid.
Subd. 13.    Death refund.  If a judge who has not
received other benefits under this chapter dies and there are no
survivor benefits payable under this chapter, a refund plus
interest as provided in subdivision 12 is payable to the last
designated beneficiary named on a form filed with the director
before the death of the judge, or if no designation is on file,
the refund is payable to the estate of the deceased judge.

Prepare to fall head over heels with Emmy and her best friend, Bunty, who are spirited and gutsy, even in the face of events that bring a terrible blow. As the bombs continue to fall, the irrepressible Emmy keeps writing, and readers are transformed by AJ Pearce's hilarious, heartwarming, and enormously moving tale of friendship, the kindness of strangers, and ordinary people in an extraordinary time.
Emmy responds to an add for a job at a newspaper. She wants to be a war correspondent. Little does she know, the job is as far a way from the war as can be. She is an assistant to Mrs. Bird. Mrs. Bird is an advice columnist. Mrs. Bird is very strict and meticulous. She only answers certain letters. The rest she refuses to even consider. And she has a LONG list of taboo topics. Well! Emmy takes it on herself to answer some of these letters. You can guesss where this leads.
I love Emmy's rebellious nature. She has plans to be good but then she just can't. She tickles me to death. I love when she gives herself "a stern talking to!" She is a character after my own heart. She is not perfect. She is perfectly flawed!
This read is humorous but it has its shares of tragedy as well. Bunty and her fiancé are caught in a bombing and this will rip your heart out. Would I put this in the same class as The Lilac Girls? No. But, it is a very good read. Actually it is a great mix of humor and tragedy. You will be laughing one minute and crying the next. So LOOK OUT!
I received this novel from the publisher via Netgalley for a honest review.
Terrific review, and you are so right about laughing, then crying. And I love this pic so much!
It is a emotional roller coaster! Thank you!

Only a mad-man would buy wipers from a smart dealer.
You can buy perfectly good wipers on Amazon and eBay.
Pull the wiper arm away from the screen.
Where the wiper blade attaches to the arm, you'll notice a tab, top and bottom.
Push both of these tabs down about 3mm to unseat the clip.
With the tabs pushed down, push the wiper blade off of the end of the wiper arm.
It'll just slide all the way off.
With the wiper blade off you'll be able to see the clip and the associated hole that the clip attaches to.
When you slide a new wiper blade onto the arm, make sure the arm slots inside of the blade and not outside.
The end of the wiper arm should be encased in the wiper blade housing.
Make sure the wiper blade is clipped in and repeat for the other wiper blade.

The Chinese woman accused of lying to briefly gain admission into President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club last month was denied bail Monday by a federal judge, who says there is an "extreme risk of flight" if she were to be set free.
Federal Magistrate Judge William Matthewman ultimately refused to set bail for the 33-year-old, saying there is an "extreme risk of flight" if she were released. The U.S. doesn't have an extradition treaty with China.
Matthewman remarked that "it appears to the court that Ms. Zhang was up to something nefarious" — a reference to the various electronics she was found to be carrying and that she left in her hotel room. Zhang, however, has not been charged with espionage.

Nearly half of Arkansas renters spend more than a third of their income on housing, according to statistics
by: Andrew Epperson
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KFTA) — There's a greater share of people who rent in this state than the national average, and that number is rising. For many people in Arkansas, that monthly payment is a burden each time it comes around.
Slaton Wood and Nick Ejiogu are roommates in Fayetteville, and both spend more than half their monthly pay on rent. The latest U.S. Census numbers show nearly half of Arkansas renters spend more than 30% of their pay on housing. As defined by the Bureau's standards, this means people like Wood and Ejiogu are "burdened" by the expense of renting their homes.
"Yeah, it's difficult," Wood said. "Especially in a college town where jobs are hard to find, at least from what I've seen."
Ejiogu said the rent was easier to pay when he lived in Little Rock, but in Fayetteville, housing costs more because there's a higher demand.
"Paying rent was okay at first," Ejiogu said. "Now, rent is coming back up on the first [of the month], and I'm like…ugh."
Mervin Jebaraj is the director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Arkansas, and he said Arkansans in this spot have to make some tough choices.
"It's okay to pay more than 30% for housing if you can reduce your transportation costs by living a lot closer to a lot of the amenities," Jebaraj said.
To this end, Jebaraj said building and developing more housing will help turn around renters' problems. Wood said he's looking forward to the day where most of his money isn't going toward housing.
"I'm gonna feel rich," Wood said. "I'm gonna feel wealthy. I'm gonna feel good."

Weather Word of the Week: Shortwave Troughs
by Alexander Williams / Jan 18, 2021
A shortwave trough has a wavelength (distance between center points of two troughs) of less than 3700 mi. For a refresher of what a trough is check out this previous episode of Weather Word of the Week!
These upper level waves are associated with an upper level front or cold pool. So take a cold front and move it up from the surface to around 10,000 ft and you basically have a shortwave.

Two inmates at the Otsego County jail have been charged with attempted second-degree assault for allegedly attacking another inmate on two occasions several months ago, authorities said.
Charles Kulick IV, 21, of Utica, and Jason Thomas, 34, of Maryland, N.Y., were both issued appearance tickets Wednesday on the felony charge and are currently being held at the jail on other felony charges, Otsego County sheriff's Senior Investigator Michael Ten Eyck said.
Thomas allegedly punched another inmate twice in the head on March 8, Ten Eyck said. Then a week later, on March 15, Kulick allegedly violently attacked the same inmate by punching him and throwing him onto the floor.
The victim received medical care at the jail for minor cuts and bruises, Ten Eyck said.
Kulick and Thomas are due to appear in Middlefield Town Court on July 9.

Abstract. The article discusses the origin and development of the institute of museums operating on a voluntary basis (public, folk, school museums, etc.) in the USSR museum network. The change of this institute into para-museum structures was studied, whose activity, due to their legal status, is not fully covered by the current legislation on museums. Also studied are the profiles of museums that were characteristic of public museums.
Public museums were mainly of a comprehensive profile and supplemented by budget museums. Public museums were a factor in the development of the network of state museums, since they could potentially become branches of state museums or separate from independent budgetary state institutions.
In the development of the network of public museums, a systemic law of peripheral development was manifested, according to which everything new in the system arises precisely at the peripheral levels of the system, where systemic connections are weak. Indeed, the activities of public museums were less regulated than the work of budget museums, which gave a greater degree of freedom for the development of public museums.
The main task of public museums was to promote the Marxist-Leninist worldview and the achievements of communist construction, to increase the education and culture of Soviet people, their aesthetic education and the formation of a sense of Soviet patriotism. And, no less important, to direct the leisure of the population in a direction significant for the state.
The activity of public museums in identifying and collecting exhibits made it possible to identify genuine monuments of material and spiritual culture among the peoples, with the subsequent inclusion of the latter in the museum fund of the USSR.
An analysis of the organizational and legal form of public museums created during the USSR period indicates that they were created without the formation of a legal entity and overwhelmingly were structural units of enterprises, institutions or organizations.
Ignoring the issue of the need for legal regulation of public relations related to the restoration, development and activities of public museums since the early 1990s marginalized this institution and led to the emergence of para-museum formations that, under the guise of museums, fulfill other goals and objectives. It should be noted that such neglect, we believe, mediated the impoverishment of the funds of public museums and the dispersal of the objects of these museums in private hands.
Key words: museum network, museum system, classification of museums, museum activity profiles, public museums, folk museums, school museums, para-museum organizations, museum law.

Barrabas
Disconforme
Reference: DISC 1992 CD
was born in 1970 at Fernando Arbex's initiative after Alacran's disbanding. Arbex was the creator of the name and musical ideas based on a funky-salsa sound wich had been thinking over for some time. For this purpose, he composed songs such as "Wild Safary" or "Woman" and started to contact with the first members of the band, who were Ignacio Egaña, Tito Duarte, Miguel and Ricky Morales, Joao Vidal and Arbex himself on drums and as a producer. Once the first demos were presented to RCA's director, Mr. Gil Beltran, who was delighted with the project, a production agreement was signed with Fernando Arbex and a commercial artists contract with the members of the band. The first LP was recorded at RCA studios in Madrid and the master was cut in London at Trident studios with the engineer David Jones. This first LP meant the worldwide promotion of Barrabas wich managed to get into the USA Billboard with the song "Woman" in the Canadian lists. This event opened the doors to the group in the international market, and both market as well as the public remained faithful to the band throughout their long musical career. Barrabás recorded eight albums more with some significant changes in the group, such as the new lead singer, José Luís Tejada. Barrabás is undoubtedly the most important band as well as the most internationally known group of the spanish music business witin the last few years. A classic!.

AMG Review:
Madrid's Barrabas followed the success of their debut due in most part to "Woman," a surprise hit that found a home in several American discos a year later with Power, an accomplished if unremarkable album that indicates the varied stylistic interests of the group. "Mr. Money" seems to temper the hard, organ-driven sound of Deep Purple with the rhythmic thrust of early Santana, but unlike those two groups, Barrabas pushes their guitars into the distance. After a pair of nondescript traditional rock numbers, the group temporarily slides into easy listening pop with "The Horse," an instrumental led by Tito Duarte's flute. Two of the album's strongest songs appear during the latter half. "Casanova"'s lyrics are a bit silly, but it shows the group's rhythm section at its dynamic and complex best, and the soft "Time to Love" closes the album out in a breezy fashion, displaying how Barrabas is at its best when it avoids aggressive rock trappings here, the band sounds its most natural.

Q: Is the regular represention of the free abelian group $\mathbb{Z}^n$ over $\mathbb{C}$ indecomposable? If it is indecomposable, what are all the subrepresentations look like?
I feel that this problem is parallel to the problem of determining ideals of the Laurent polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_1^{\pm1},x_2^{\pm1},\cdots,x_n^{\pm1}]$. Am I in the right direction?
