Sawtooth Fire Evening Update 09-12-2012
“A re-entry provision was made by Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman this afternoon after conferring with Sawtooth I C Tom Heintz. It is important to realize that there is still a threat to the area West of Hamilton. We have been receiving comments that this fire has "done its thing". The fire and the history of fire in the Bitterroots do not support that as a fact. There is still fire spread on both the North and South perimeters of this fire. Please honor the fact that we remain in a Stage 1 evacuation over much of the residential area near the fire. Stage 2 evacuation remains in place for those neighborhoods where the fire threat has closer proximity.”

Missoulian: Feds demand LCD maker pay $1 billion
United States v. AU Optronics Corporation…
“The government recommends that the Court sentence AU Optronics Corporation (“AUO”) to pay a $1 billion fine and its top executives, H.B. Chen and Hui Hsiung, to serve ten years in prison and pay $1 million fines. These defendants and AUO’s subsidiary, AU Optronics Corporation America (“AUOA”), were central figures in the most serious price-fixing cartel ever prosecuted by the United States. Only these sentences could possibly reflect the seriousness of this offense or provide adequate deterrence. The correctly and conservatively calculated Sentencing Guidelines (“Guidelines”) ranges—a corporate fine of $936 million to $1.872 billion and prison terms from 121 to 151 months—suggest that these sentences are lenient ones for the offense in this case.”
