A jury handed down their sentencing recommendation for a Scott County man found guilty of killing his parents.
James Anthony Gray was found guilty of two counts of murder and one count of tampering with physical evidence in the shooting death of his parents, James and Vivian Gray.
Around 3 a.m. Friday, the jury recommended 20 years for each murder conviction and an extra five years for tampering with physical evidence, a total of 45 years in jail.
Gray's parents were found dead in their home in 2007.
Gray confessed to killing them, but later said he didn't do it and that his confession was coerced.
This was the second trial for the case. The first trial ended with a mistrial in February of 2012 when the jury couldn't reach an agreement.
Formal sentencing is scheduled for April.

More Bang for Your Buck: Double-Duty Furniture Ideas
If you're short on space, need to save cash, or just like creative problem-solving, consider all the ways you can make your furniture work overtime. Here are a few examples of helpful, double-duty pieces.
Sometimes, as with a daybed or storage bench, the multifunctionality is built in — other times it's just a matter of how you use what you've got.
For the latter case, it might be a bookcase that doubles as a room divider (Images 1 and 4) or a dresser that can pull its weight as a nightstand (Image 5). With the right planning and placement, a set of drawers can become a table leg (Image 8) and shoe cabinets can also function as a shelf (Image 10).
Shown above:
1. Bookcase / Room Divider
2. Seating / Sleeping and Stool / Side Table
3. Storage / Seating
4. Room Divider / Shelving
5. Dresser / Nightstand
6. Seating/Sleeping
7. Two Beds in One
8. Storage Chest / DIY Desk
9. Bed / Book Storage
10. Shoe Cabinet / Display Shelf
• Inspiration: Using a Bookcase as a Room Divider

Good post. I've never lived in a home so big that this wasn't the smart way to go.
Thanks for shying away from the obvious "pull-out couch" option! It's nice to see some other double-duty items on there. Especially that daybed (#2) - it's lovely!
One that I'd add is using a dresser as a TV stand. Pretty obvious if you live in a studio, but not necessarily for the rest of us.
I've just started to get very into this. First double duty: a short vintage metal typewriter stand as small, mobile coffee table. Woo hoo!
My Dad took an old dresser and put a beautiful granite top on it. I use it to cook on, eat at and I store all my kitchen towels and bathroom towels in it! It's my favorite piece of furniture.
My desk doubles as my kitchen table (efficiently and w/o moving anything) and my bookcase is an old industrial rack w/ shoes and cleaning supplies hidden from my living room.
I needed a second dresser to accomodate my boyfriend but it would've cluttered up my floor space in the bedroom, so I bought one that looked equally as good in the living room, store my trays and some photography books on top.
I also have a white west elm parsons desk that now serves as an entry way table, but when older relatives are visiting, we can pull up some chairs for an additional dining area since sitting at an island on a counter stool is not comfortable for them.
And speaking of the island. I have a 8 ft kitchen island with generous overhang on one side and the ends. So I prep, cook and serve there. Enough room for 4 to 6 to eat on the island. Ample storage underneath.
I love love love this post! We just moved from a 4 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment. We're having fun arranging our little space, but, as we acquire things, bring more stuff from storage, have kids someday, the space dwindles. We're not discouraged though, we like the challenge of transforming this apartment into a home! I can't wait to read more comments to get more ideas!!
Oh, and I guess I could mention a few things that we've done: we have a desk that doubles as TV stand in bedroom, we put wire stacking shelves (Target) in our walk in closet on the bottom to store our non-clothing stuff, we have a small kitchen and I work from home, so we made the dining room into an office with (Ikea) shelves to display some nicer kitchen items, as well as officy things, we have an ottoman (Overstock.com) that has storage for our board games, an antique chest that has misc things that we're not using stored in it, we have our knives, pots, pans and lids hanging on the walls.
Spidermum - I love the dresser with the granite top idea! Someday, I may ask my husband to make me one of these!
I am currently using my old school stereo console as a headboard/nightstands.
Anyone know where to get that "East Coast by Liner" poster hanging above the bed? I'm looking for similar styled posters to frame for my apartment, and I live on the East Coast so that would be perfect!
I love this post I stumbled across a couple of years ago on Martha Stewards website regarding an office in a chest. It's kinda got an ottoman top so it can also serve as seating and perhaps a coffee table??? Four pieces of furniture in one!!! That's serious bang for your buck!
LOVE that bookshelf bench!
I've been using the dresser as a nightstand for nearly 20 years.
Surprised there's not more on ottomas: love my storage ottoman and another that folds out into a cot, which gets used far more than I ever imagined.
ec05 - Where did you get the ottoman that folds into a cot? What a brilliant idea!
I want to echo @MissMeaghan - Does anyone know where to get that poster in the first photo? It's really cute!!!
I loved the print too!
Found it here:
You'll probably be able to find a US link, search terms "east coast lner" there's a few in the same style :)
I love the curtained bedroom nook but hate all that stuff under the bed. Nothing hard should be under there. *If you must* store anything under a bed it should be soft bedding for optimum feng shui vibes.
I love the use of expedit as a room divider. Living in London can be quite a challenge when you have a lot of stuff as I do, so most of my furniture has some sort of concealed storage.
Could you please start running captions (links or related one-liners) alongside the images? Jumping back and forth just to figure out what caption refers to what image is not working! It's not user friendly! Seriously!
Also found the poster at http://www.allposters.eu, where they are currently having a sale!
we use this old antique dresser as an all purpose tv stand in our living room. Our living room, kitchen and dining room is just one big room so each drawer is assigned to a random item, 1. being tupperware, dvds, Remotes, unused mason jars and lids, Wii controllers, and yes extra baby wipes and on the very top pictures and Dish box. So all in all it is one of the most useful things we have and does quite a few jobs while looking unassumingly cool.
Yes to the dresser as nightstand, but that mirror is awkward and dangerous. Yuck.
What Graphist said.
I love the bedding. Does anyone know where to get them?
I used two different sizes of EXPEDIT shelves and stuck a single drawer MICKE in between them to create a computer desk/work area that doubles as an entertainment center to watch Netflix and DVD's and play video games.
Our coffee table is low, long and sturdy. When guests come over, we drag it over to the dining room table and it works as a bench.
I looove the futon in #6, but I'm in the States... Anyone know a US retailer who sells something similar?
i definitely agree with Graphist. It makes me not even look at these posts unless I'm intensely interested.
I re-purposed an aquarium stand I found at the thrift store (about 5 bucks too) into a vanity. I flipped it upside down so the open part is on the floor, and the bottom is now the top. I keep my excess hair products/accessories in the inside. Covered it with some pretty contact paper and it worked out just perfectly. :)
The Print is by Tom Purvis. U.S. source here: http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Tom%20Purvis:%20East%20Coast%20By%20L%20N%20E%20R_10451_10001_117653_-1_26680_26682_63686
I agree with Graphist also!
I've used the top half of my tall Billy bookcase for books and display, but closed off the bottom half with doors and store my shoes there, in boxes.
With the addition of a lamp and mirror, my chest of drawers serves as storage, dressing table and bedside table.
Since when is a (cute) desk with drawers a "double duty" item? Isn't that just a desk?
I'm so glad I came across this thread! I got a question! I use my bedroom as a office / gaming center for my eight year old, can I use my dresser as an entertainment cetner as well? I'd have to remove the mirror, but that isn't a problem. My TV is wall mounted and I just wanted some lead way. =D Thanks in advance!

Interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao scored a spectacular stoppage win over Eddie Wineland at UFC 165 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto with a spinning back kick in the second round that stunned the challenger and was swiftly followed up with a fight finishing flurry of punches.
It was an eye-catching performance from the Brazilian, who had bided his time in the opening round, scoring with a series of low kicks to the inside left leg of Wineland and seeing a couple of takedown attempts easily shrugged off.
If the opening five minutes had been uneventful, the second stanza more than made up for it as Barao landed a spinning back kick that knocked Wineland backwards. Replays showed his heel had glanced off the side of the American's face, but the damage was done as Wineland was left dazed and defenseless.
More MMA
Joe Rogan was adamant that it was the first spinning back kick knockout in UFC history, although Barao needed a few follow-up punches to finish the job and register the seventh win by stoppage due to strikes of his career.
Dana White had earlier moved to quash rumors that regular 135-pound champion Dominick Cruz was about to be stripped of the belt and announced he would be given until early 2014 to recover from his knee injury.
Speaking after the win, which came at 0:35 of the second round, an elated Barao had a simple message, "I'm just waiting for Dominick Cruz now."
Cruz has not stepped inside the Octagon since October 2011, but if he is able to meet White's timetable for recovery, a unification bout could be next for Barao, who is now 30-1-0-1 overall and 6-0 in the UFC.

Not sure how/why Wineland ended up getting a title shot, is this division really that weak or….?!? I'd love to see him vs. Aldo, but that won't happen since they train together, but Barao vs. Pettis would be sick, only after Pettis defeats Aldo, which IMHO he would.
Let's be realistic here, did anyone actually think Wineland would make it to out of the 3rd round?!? He won his last 2 fights, but was 2-2 in his last 4, and if I'm not mistaken he has more losses than all the UFC champs combined. Like come on UFC!!!
I just googled the top 10 UFC Bantamweight fighters, which pretty much answered my question, this division is pretty weak. If Cruz wasn't out for so long, him vs. Barao would be a great fight, but Barao is going to DESTROY Cruz. The guy will have 2 lifetimes worth of ring rust on him, plus he's going to test his newly repaired ACL knee for the 1st time, and he gets to do that vs.Barao…… after being out for 26-30 months?!?
BAHAHAHAHA good luck with that Dominick!
How the heck could barao vs pettis happen? 135 vs 155?
One goes up to 145, the other drops down. Fairly simple concept really, although quite unlikely.
gotta see this guy vs frankie one day. only once though
Joe rogan, I believe Jds vs. mark hunt ended in a spinning back kick (spinning heel kick to head). Not the first spinning back kick knockout.
That was actually a spinning WHEEL kick. Joe actually said that people used spinning kicks before to finish fights, but not this type of kick – going straight (no wheel-ing) to the head.

Hematuria is the presence of red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine. Often, the urine appears normal to the naked eye, but examination under a microscope shows a high number of RBCs. In gross hematuria, the urine is red or the color of cola, which can be seen with the naked eye.
Most of the causes are not serious; in some cases, strenuous exercise will cause blood in the urine, which usually goes away in a day. Other, more serious causes include tumors, kidney disease, infections, or an injury. Many people have hematuria without having any other related problems. Many people have hematuria without having any other related problems. To determine the cause of hematuria, or to rule out certain causes, a series of tests may be ordered.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hematuria may include the following:
Urinalysis. Laboratory examination of urine for various cells and chemicals, such as RBCs, white blood cells, infection, or excessive protein.
Blood tests. Laboratory examination of blood for high levels of waste products.
Intravenous pyelogram (IVP). A series of X-rays of the kidney, ureters, and bladder with the injection of a contrast dye into the vein. This is done to detect tumors, abnormalities, kidney stones, or any obstructions, and to assess renal blood flow.
Cystoscopy (also called cystourethroscopy). An examination in which a scope, a flexible tube and viewing device, is inserted through the urethra to examine the bladder and urinary tract for structural abnormalities or obstructions, such as tumors or stones.
Specific treatment for hematuria will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Underlying cause of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
If you experience blood in your urine that lasts more than a day, tell your health care provider, especially if you have unexplained weight loss, discomfort with urination, frequent urination, or urgent urination.

Horn: See the basic horns instructions. Create one long horn from foil and cover it with masking tape. Cut a 2-1/2- by 3-1/2-inch tongue shape out of cardboard. Tape the horn to the rounded end of the shape and tape the straight end to the headband (A). Paint the horn and cardboard and let it dry before adding glue and glitter.
For a forelock, cut two 4-inch squares of felt into a fringe. Stack them and attach them to the headband and the cardboard with colored duct tape. Cut two small ear shapes from felt. Make a crease in their flat ends and attach them to the headband with more duct tape.
Mane: Cut two 4-inch-wide strips of felt long enough to go from the top of the sweatshirt hood to the bottom of the back. Fringe both pieces, leaving about 3/4 inch of one edge uncut. Adhere the two mane pieces to the sweatshirt with colored duct tape (B).
Tail: Cut a square of felt into fringe. Glue it to the end of a felt rectangle, then roll it up into a tail. Tape it to the pants waistband.

Pattern designed under the influence of hits from the 80's. This is my tribute to the work of Pete Burns-a. But everyone, of course, sees it differently. It's fun though to supply the parts as much positive energy as well-known hit, Dead or Alive. The great and the contestable before disco hit in decades, which inspired the design. Fashion comes full circle, returning great in a slightly altered version of the same points. This is because, despite the progress of technology, people and their passions and desires remain the same. Print colors not selected. You can change them, giving to the project a whole new meaning. I wish you a successful play.

Queens is one step closer to getting its own High Line-style public park, DNAinfo.com reported.
The QueensWay would be similar to Manhattan's High Line, which is a park created from an abandoned elevated railroad.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has given a grant to study the feasibility of converting the old LIRR Rockaway Line, which runs 3.5 miles between Forest Hills and Ozone Park, into a public park and greenway, according to the Trust for Public Land.
The Rockaway Line closed way back in 1962.
DNAinfo.com's Julie Shapiro comes to Fox 5 to talk about the story.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan (Final)
Click here for an archive of Jim Cramer's Mad Money recaps. Click here to get Jim Cramer's Mad Money Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investors need to pay attention to individual companies for the most accurate read on how the economy is really faring, Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Friday.
Cramer then mentioned which stocks he'll be watching next week. He said the most pivotal stock reporting next week is BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIMM).When the company reports on Thursday, it will give us the latest read on the mobile Internet tsunami, said Cramer. But with RIM already up 20% in 20 days, he said he's staying away from the stock and will just use it as a gauge for the rest of the sector. He said drugstore-chain giant RiteAid (RAD) is being used as a play on the upcoming flu season, but with the company running a distant third behind rivals Walgreen (WAG) and CVS Caremark (CVS), he would use strength in RiteAid to buy the other two. For a read on the broader markets, Cramer's looking to ConAgra (CAG) and General Mills (GIS). If these historically defensive names rise on their earnings, he'd begin scaling out of more cyclical stocks.

phenylephrine (cont.)
What happens if I miss a dose?
Cold medicine is usually taken only as needed, so you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.
Overdose symptoms may include feeling restless or nervous, severe dizziness, sweating, vomiting, hallucinations, fast or uneven heart rate, fainting, seizure (convulsions), and weak or shallow breathing.
What should I avoid while using phenylephrine?
Do not use any other over-the-counter cold, allergy, or cough medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Phenylephrine is contained in many medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much phenylephrine. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains phenylephrine or another decongestant.
Avoid taking diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.
Avoid smoking. It can add to the effects of phenylephrine in decreasing blood flow, which can lead to uncomfortable symptoms.
Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking phenylephrine.
What other drugs will affect phenylephrine?
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially:
This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with phenylephrine. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about phenylephrine.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Hey Y'all, I am Dan and as you know Cathy Brennan has been on a backpeddling rampage lately. Most recently, a 15 year old trans* dfab [he/his pronouns] has become the brunt of her abuse. Basically, in her classic MO, Cathy emailed the school he attends and they had a parent-teacher conference, which ultimately outted them about being trans*.
They are in a sticky situation where many a time his parents will kick his out but then let her back in, but he fears this may be permanent. If there is anyone in the CT Hartford area that can help, please please contact myself and I can direct you to their tumblr. Their tumblr is currently not disclosed so radscum watchers cannot intervene/antagonize them further.
Strangesanjles has posted about this but there was some confusion and the minor is a dfab individual who prefers he/his pronouns.
If anyone familiar with laws concerning emancipation in CT, PLEASE contact too.
Holy jinkies… I guess this is a correction/extension of the post I reblogged earlier. Signal boost?

Kentucky State Police Trooper Recognized By DEA
Date of Release: 09/27/05
(FRANKFORT, KY) - A Kentucky state trooper has been recognized by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration for a traffic stop that led to the seizure of a large quantity of cocaine.
Trooper Timothy A. Vinal, of KSP Post 5 in Campbellsburg, received the award from the DEA's El Paso Intelligence Center in recognition of a traffic stop he made in May of 2004 on northbound Interstate 71 in Henry County. The action led to the discovery of 739 lbs. (335.5 kilograms) of cocaine hidden in a motor home. According to the DEA, this was the largest individual highway interdiction of cocaine seized during 2004.
"Trooper Vinal's outstanding vigilance in this matter helped to take a significant amount of cocaine off the street," said KSP Commissioner Mark Miller. "His determination, commitment and professionalism exemplifies those standards held in highest regard by the Kentucky State Police and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. On behalf of Gov. Fletcher, Lt. Gov. Pence and the entire law enforcement community in Kentucky, I congratulate him on a job well done."

Diabetes can't be cured, but specialists such as endocrinologists can help people with diabetes prevent most other medical problems that diabetes can cause. When a person suffers from diabetes, the body is not producing enough or any insulin and therefore cannot control its blood sugar level, causing the blood sugar level to become higher than normal.
Controlling your blood sugar is the key to preventing complications associated with diabetes. Blood sugar can be controlled with medication such as insulin and eating an appropriate diet. The Novo Nordisk Diabetes Center can help you control your blood sugar, whether you've had diabetes for many years, have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, or have just found out that you have diabetes.
Issues covered include:
If you are an expectant mother with gestational diabetes, our center's diabetes educators can help ensure you have a smooth pregnancy.
Your educator will provide you with an individualized meal plan and teach you how and when to test your blood sugars during a two-hour appointment. Our goal is to keep you and your baby safe and healthy—so you can enjoy this special time.
It is recommended that you schedule your free follow-up appointment after the delivery to help reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Triple nerve decompression surgery is a dynamic new treatment for diabetic neuropathy that can help re-establish nerve function throughout an arm or leg in order to relieve pain, restore feeling, and reduce the risk of amputation. It is an outpatient procedure that involves three small incisions and lasts approximately an hour and a half.
Triple nerve decompression surgery is performed at CentraState Medical Center by Michael Rose, MD, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a special interest in peripheral nerves. Dr. Rose is part of the team at the Plastic Surgery Center in Shrewsbury and is one of the few doctors in Monmouth County to perform triple nerve decompression surgery.
If you think you may be suffering from diabetes symptoms, please contact your CentraState primary care physician to make an appointment. To find a primary care physician, call 866-CENTRA7 (236-8727) or visit Primary Care Services.

Moderated by Rick Badie
Three white commission districts. Three black. That's what a redistricting proposal, proffered by a legislative delegation, effectively would create for the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. Today, a supporter of the proposal says it ensures equal representation for north Fulton. But the two commissioners who would wind up in the same district deem the reshuffling an abuse of political power. Read all three essays, then post your comments.
Politics and power have been abused
By William "Bill" Edwards
Power and politics go together like hand and glove. While responsible leaders balance power with justice, fairness and ethics, others use politics and power like blunt weapons to strike out at their opponents.
In Fulton County, a political power shift occurred in our General Assembly delegation. Last November, 64 percent of Fulton County residents voted for a Democratic president. Voters have also supported Democrats for countywide races in recent years. Nonetheless, the Fulton County General Assembly delegation is now majority Republican for the first time in history.
North Fulton Republican legislators have chosen to abandon their party's stated commitment to local control. Instead of seeking consensus, they seek to divide. Instead of being policymakers, they are playing personality-driven politics. Efforts to form Milton County have failed. Now they are using economic strangulation and gerrymandering to take their toll on our county.
There are constant claims of "dysfunctional" politics in Fulton County. But the facts do not support this notion. Instead, they point to rampant abuse of politics and power by state legislators.
In 2011, counties across Georgia submitted redistricting maps for state approval. Why was Fulton's map not approved? Instead, lawmakers have chosen to make their own map, reducing the number of at-large commissioners and increasing north Fulton representation. Instead of each citizen in the county voting in three commission races, they will now only have two. The state proposed map includes a contorted south Fulton district with lines carefully drawn to place my colleague, Emma I. Darnell, and me in the same geographic district.
The explanation? Politics and power.
Bills have been introduced to harm us financially. Other Georgia counties have a homestead exemption of $15,000. State lawmakers want to increase Fulton County's homestead exemption from the current $30,000 to $60,000, resulting in an annual revenue loss of $48 million. Despite our own budget reductions of $60 million since 2008, the state seeks to decimate funding and services. Why? Politics and power.
Fulton is the only metro Atlanta county that has not raised its millage rate in the past five years. Our millage rate has remained the same since 2007, and we have not increased it since the 1990s. Why does the state seek to cap our millage rate? Politics and power.
Several groups should join with us in this fight. Fulton County senior citizens, arts groups, library patrons, nonprofits, HIV patients and anyone who has benefited from a Fulton County service should take note. These programs are at risk.
Sister counties across Georgia should take note: If they come for us, they may come for you, too. Local governments should speak out for our ability to deliver services to our constituents without unnecessary and unwanted interference from the state.
William "Bill" Edwards" represents District 7 on the Fulton County Commission.
1 man, 1 vote except in Fulton County
By Michael Fitzgerald
One man. One vote.
It is a simple premise that stands as a cornerstone of freedom and the representative republic of these United States. It depicts the notion that every man and woman's vote carries the same value as the other. It is one of the core freedoms that millions of American soldiers have fought for and many have died for. It is what Martin Luther King Jr. gave his life to ensure.
Equal representation. One man. One vote.
However, in Fulton County, the one man/one vote concept does not apply. It only takes simple math and objective observation to prove Fulton, in its current form of government, does not adhere to this basic American tenant.
Do the math: According to the 2010 Census, Fulton has a population of approximately 921,000. In what is generally termed "north Fulton County," due to growth trends, the population approaches 400,000. One need only observe current district commission boundaries to determine only one of the seven district commission seats represents just under half of the county's population. District 3's voting strength is diluted compared to any other district in Fulton.
Also worth noting is the location of the homes of the county commissioners. Five of the seven commissioners live in what is generally considered Atlanta and south Fulton. An additional commissioner, Tom Lowe, lives just outside the Atlanta city limits.
Unequivocally, this gives Atlanta and south Fulton lopsided and disproportionate clout on the Board of Commissioners that their population simply does not warrant.
Over the years and decades, the results of this significant imbalance of voting strength and lack of representation have resulted in exactly what one would expect: Unresponsive elected officials, atrocious third-world roads, pathetic infrastructure, non-existent planning, zoning chaos, weak emergency protection, excessive taxation, redistribution of tax revenues, distant and absent county services and on and on.
Borrowing one of Commissioner Emma I. Darnell's favorite terms: Is that "fair?"
The years of being under-represented in Fulton bears a blunt resemblance to why Americans rebelled against King George in 1776. The citizenry of north Fulton have and continue to rebel. To extricate themselves from Fulton commission powers, they formed new cities — Sandy Springs, Milton, Johns Creek.
After years of suffering, another step in righting this wrong is finally under way. The newly proposed redistricting plan would dissolve one of the countywide elected districts and leave six commission districts. Only the chairman would be elected countywide.
With six district seats and redrawn district boundaries, the power of Atlanta, south Fulton and north Fulton would, finally, come into a balanced representation. It is simple: equal representation.
Michael Fitzgerald is co-founder of the North Fulton & Friends Tea Party.
Proposed lines separate and unequal
By Emma I. Darnell
We oppose a proposal by north Fulton legislators to dilute the voting strength of the county's racial and ethnic minorities. This is not who we are. It is not what we do. It is not how we do it.
Under the current plan, developed by the federal court in 2002, minority voters can elect three members of the board of commissioners. Under the north Fulton "redistricting plan," minorities can elect only two members. By pairing two minority incumbents in a new district that stretches from Palmetto to Southwest Atlanta, the proposal reduces the number of minority commissioners representing the area from two to one. Other features of the plan are also troublesome to those who take an oath of office to uphold the U.S. Constitution of the United States and to protect minority voting rights.
A line drawn at 10th Street creates two counties: Three predominantly white districts in the north and three predominantly black districts in the South. Separate and unequal. Jesse Hill, Paul Coverdell and the others, black and white, who saved Atlanta when Birmingham was destroyed in the 1960's must be turning over in their graves!
We believe in one county. It has worked well for us in the past. It will work well again in the future if we move forward together. Fulton County is one of the best-run counties in the state. We grew by 12 percent during the Great Recession. We will pay 0.16 percent interest on 2012 short-term bonds. We closed our books in Dec. 2012 with a $100 million surplus and placed $40 million of that in reserves. We cut water bills to Fulton County's customers by 4 percent. Fulton County is the only county in the Atlanta Region that did not raise property taxes in 2013.
We have been unable to identify "North Senior Hunger" and South Senior Hunger. When an internal "State of Fulton Seniors" survey disclosed 10 percent of seniors attending the county's 14 neighborhood centers were "skipping meals to make ends meet,", the commissioners reduced waiting lists for center meals and home-delivered meals from Crabapple in the North to Hapeville in the South.
When state public health officials gave Fulton County an "F" in the (reduction of) health disparities, integrated services including jobs, housing and mental health information, were added to the county's neighborhood health centers program.
Last year, clinics operated by Grady Hospital and located in Sandy Springs, East Point and Atlanta provided services to 145,550 patients. A mass transit system which runs from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport to Doraville is also largely paid for by Fulton, Atlanta and DeKalb County.
A redistricting plan developed by the board of commissioners in 2011 in consultation with some members of the Fulton County delegation was ignored. The current proposal was developed without input from the commissioners. Maybe we should come together and work it out.
For the children.
Emma I. Darnell is vice chair of the Fulton County Commission.

@Shamehia these plans are coming from the GOP majority in the General Assembly. They want you to think Fulton County is rotten to the core. Fulton has not raise taxes in a while but, if you listen to the average NF resident Fulton raised taxes very recently when its a lie. All the counties around us have raised their taxes and Fulton remains the best rated according to Standards and Poor.
"Fulton County didn't land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on Fulton County" – to use a phrase.

What is being proposed is designed to make us fight each other so we don't focus on the facts. Decreased taxes and frozen millage will cripple the county's ability to provide basic service and seriously reduce its revenue. Some homeowners may pay less taxes but at what cost? They will be forced to go into a contiguous such as Atlanta and Union City to provide those services, even if they don't want to. The state doesn't have term limits, why should the county? How many counties do and how many don't? An unclassified system provides no protection for employees. They are at the mercy of whomever supervisor them. I smell tyranny. Frankly, I'm tired of the put down of Fulton County, a progressive well managed County. I'm tired of hearing about how we used the north's money with no facts to substantiate the ranting about it. I'm tired of the racism and the attempt to revert to the days of Jim Crow. There's a lot of diversity in the county. There are
whites who think what's going on is deplorable and their are blacks who
don't think it's a problem. My fear is that this madness will not stop.
What's going on now is a precursor to spliting the county. The message is if you stand in our way, we'll destroy you. Enough is enough. We're going to have to be smart about this. Sound bites won't get it.
What's the plan?

Basically, when you come to a point where you would rather shoot yourself in the foot crippling your whole body from getting around, than to ask yourself "was my foot really hurting me that bad" that it had to be shot off. A lot of North and South Fulton people better start listening/questioning the people who speak for them. Some of them are pretending to be doctors and think they know what is good for you…. and a few who are doctors that tell you "oh, your foot didn't need a body"

Fulton County government has reached a new low of dysfunction once we start divvying up commission seats by white and black.
The better solution may be to lop off North Fulton and either create new county #160 or merge it with one of the neighboring counties, e.g. Forsyth or Gwinnett.

First off, this shouldn't have nothing to do with race but, that's what the republican minority wants. they know how easy it is to keep your attention away from the real game if they play around with race. It's actually about Progressives vs Conservatives. President Obama won Fulton County by 118,000 votes. One-man One Vote is a f…ing joke. The GOP delegation wants to ensure republicans have equal if not majority status in this county. That's impossible!!!! How else can I explain this? Less than 35% of the county population voted republican/teaparty. How is it that you can equate that with half of the district seats? This is a travesty of justice. This is akin to APARTHEID!!! The minority party ruling the majority. Democrats are not only black, they are white, Latino, Asian, Native born, gay, and straight AMERICANS. Fulton County is a majority Progressive county. The North Fulton GOP doesn't like it therefore they are creating it into a "race issue". Create districts where the GOP is the majority so they can at least control that outcome. Get you head out of the sand. Fulton County is a Progressive that happens to be the most fiscally conservative one in the nation but, that's not enough. They want you to look past the accomplishments and only see the race of the people out front knowing your innate biases will take over.
Let me hip you wing nuts to something else. By living on the northside folks are automatically given the benefit of the doubt of their home values. My best guess is you folks carry an automatic $75k to $100k built in cushion to your home value. Let's take a look at the folks in Sandy Springs, Milton, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Roswell and Mountain Park. That cushion could rise as high as $150k. Think about it, drop the cushion and the value of homes in those new cities would result in those cities being near insolvency. Keep in mind these cities aren't allowed to raise their property taxes but have remain solvent during the Great Recession. The banks, appraisers and mortgage companies are artificially keeping North Fulton a float even in a market that is seeing or have seen record foreclosures, even next door. Check Zillows.com values up north are stable even with next door foreclosure. Not down south. A foreclosure within two miles can mean an additional $25k hit to your already upside down value. The value for comparable homes on the southside are generally $150-$200k lower. You guys are benefiting from a shell game. At some point the that glass ball is going to fall to the floor. That's part of the "white privilege" of north Fulton. The idea that a Progressive institution run by minorities is successful "can't be so".

@A Reader – I have lived in Atlanta and South Fulton all my life. I have never had free garbage pickup. In fact I am angry about the $62.00 quarterly bill I am currently paying.
@Sad – I too think that the commisoners should have term limits, but if this is not about race for you then why did you not mention Tom Lowe who has been on the board since I was a baby.
Get over this North Fulton, there is no way this redistricting should happen to appease less than half the county. The county is majority non-white and growing every day including in your North Fulton area. I too do not like all the bickering on the board but cannot argue with the fiscal statistics that it is still a well managed county. There are things such as the long Emma Darnell rants and the Hauser cut throat sneers that really make me turn the TV station. IT seems that North Fulton has done everything it can to hurt Fulton County. Creating your own cities to take charge of your own destiny was your idea. You should be more focused on ensuring that works well instead of coming back to destroy what works for Atlanta and South Fulton. I never thought that the commisioners of North Fulton worked hard enough for your behalf because they were too concerned about what South Fulton did and did not have. However, you cannot say by any means that North Fulton has not prospered under the current district alignment. No one was shouting they wanted to be their own county/city while all the money from South Fulton – Fulton Industiral Boulevard was flowing north. In my opion just like the Republican and Democrats cannot get along in congress the people suffer because nothing is getting done. So goes Fulton County, it will never work as well as it should because North and South Fulton cannot get along. We can be assured of one thing though, there will be a breaking point and you never know who will get the shorter end. Also, Kaseem Reed who represent Atlanta with the most people is awfully quiet while all these bills are floating around that impacts Atlanta. What deals has he made that keeps him so quiet?

For the Knowitall, what is wrong with fair treatment under the law? That might be an oxymoron. Who gets fair treatment under the law anymore? Most minorities don't. Just face it, dude, or whatever you are–IT'S ALL ABOUT RACE!!! "Fair treatment under the law"–a bunch of hooey!

WB Nasty….The Tea Parties and conservative have this strange and odd notion to liberals and many minorities—They believe in the Constitution. One Man–One Vote.
For some reason, many of the race baiters cannot stomach the constitutional concepts of sharing power and want without some contorted advantage for being in the minority.
Let's get this straight once and for all. This is NOT A RACIAL ISSUE! It is EQUAL REPRESENTATION guaranteed under the constitution.
What is the problem with fair treatment under the law?
February 14th, 2013

This is so simple. Reshuffling the Fulton County Board of Commissioners is all about race and power. Broken down into "cornbread language" it is the following: the South side of Fulton and its Negros are getting too uppity for their britches. Kill that strength and dilute their voting power–get their leaders and the rest falls into place. Dirty politics? Yes. What else is new in Georgia?
Keep it up Tea Party people and the the Party of "old White Men." You are destroying yourself.

Morneau out of lineup for first time since '07
Morneau out of lineup for first time since '07
MINNEAPOLIS -- First baseman Justin Morneau was out of the Twins' lineup for the first time in nearly two years on Sunday, given what manager Ron Gardenhire called "a general day off." "He came in today very, very sore," Gardenhire said before Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Astros.More
Gardenhire also said prior to the game that he might consider using Morneau late in the contest if he could get loose. But after the loss, Gardenhire said that Morneau was deemed unavailable -- even to pinch-hit. "He plans on being in there every day, but he knew when he came in today that he was not feeling very good," he said. "He was going to try to get loose, and we walked over and checked him, and it was not working out." With Morneau spending the entire day on the bench, his streak of 319 consecutive games played came to an end. It was the first time that he had neither played nor started for the Twins since June 27, 2007. He missed a stretch of five games from June 23-27 of that year after suffering a bruised lung in a collision at home plate with Marlins catcher Miguel Olivo during at a contest in Florida. That streak had ranked second in the Majors, behind the 343 recorded by Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, but both streaks ended on Sunday. Howard missed the Phillies' contest on Sunday after being hospitalized for the second time in two days due to a flu virus. Adrian Gonzalez of the Padres now holds the Major League lead for consecutive games played, with 274. No other players have more than 200. As for Morneau's availability for Tuesday's series opener against the Brewers, Gardenhire said that the team will have to wait and see how he's feeling. Morneau will have two consecutive days off thanks to the rest on Sunday and Monday's off-day. "We've got to get him through these things, and we're not going to get in a situation where this drags on," Gardenhire said of Morneau's soreness. "We'll see where he's at on Tuesday. Hopefully, he'll be fine." But Gardenhire stressed that the club will be cautious. "We saw that at the end of last year, when he played through everything, the bad back, the whole package, and we don't want to get into those things, not in the middle part of the year."

There's over $300,000 in cash and prizes on the table at the 2011 MidwayUSA & NRA Bianchi Cup, but there's one prize that the newcomers have their eye on - this check for $2,500. MidwayUSA has generously provided $2,500 to be awarded to the top first-time shooter. The second place finisher will receive $1,500 and third place will go home with $750.
But with a large number of new shooters entering the competition in 2011, getting ahold of the coveted check will require them to bring their A-game. "We have more than 60 new shooters competing this year," said NRA's Bianchi Cup guru Tom Hughes.
We'll be introducing you to some of the first-time competitors throughout the competition, so check back to see who's in the running for that $2,500 check.
