Rendering of Alpha A7xx DSLR appears in Chinese forums
Sony Alpha Rumors writes that a rendering of what appears to be an Alpha A7xx-series type of a camera has appeared in the Chinese-speaking Xitek forums. You can notice the HD next to the top status LCD screen in the picture. With the promising launch of the new pellicle-mirror A55 and A33 DSLRs, Sony has "earned" some more time to announce an Alpha A700 replacement.
Speaking of the new Sony Alphas, we will have the usual announcement round-ups posted at some point during the weekend. The mega-round-ups, like the one for the Canon 60D, take a lot of time + brain-drain to prepare :)

The Double Door Cabinet:
Elegant China Storage
Glass-doored china cabinets and looming secretaries often seem more traditional than many of us think we prefer. When they're balanced with the right pieces, however, they actually look elegant and very pretty. These spaces show how they can be stylishly incorporated into your home, whether you have a vintage find or a family heirloom.
- A pretty family heirloom is the standout in Sarah and Steve's Attic Aerie House Tour.
- A distressed-wood secretary brings a bit of country chic to a dining room from House to Home.
- A gorgeous pink cabinet provides a dramatic backdrop in John Oetgen's home. Via House Beautiful.
- The glass doors on this cabinet have been cleverly replaced by chicken wire. Via Casa Sugar.
- A deep blue cabinet is a stunning focal point in this home in Copenhagen. Via Interior Decoration.
- A daffodil-colored cabinet in Timm & Zack's Rummage-Sale Retro House Tour.

I actually really like the look of these, but I am so bad at arranging anything inside so it looks nice. We were given an unpainted oak china cabinet, and I thought about painting it, but knew I didn't have the time or energy (not that I'm opposed to painting it sometime in the future--we just decided to live with it oak for a while). I took off the fussy doors and use the shelves for all of my cookbooks.
I love the storage they offer, but no matter how many times I rearranged dishes on the shelves, it looked fake and contrived to me.
I think secretary desks are just so perfect for small apartments. What other piece of furniture combines a chest of drawers with a useable desk and a glass fronted china cabinet? Perfect!
I have one of these from about 1910 in my kitchen; it belonged to my great-grandparents, so I'm never parting with it. Fortunately it fits right into the decor, which is a mix of antique character (original wood floors, high ceilings) and modern appliances and granite.
At first I wanted one of these for my dining room, but I never pulled the trigger on the many, many good options in Craigslist because I didn't have enough pretty stuff to put in it. Lately I've been looking for one of these for my craft room, something with cabinet doors on the bottom so I can store all my supplies plus I can put all my books up top. One of these takes the place of 2 pieces of furniture, they are so versatile!
We have one in our dining room. I painted it a flat charcoal gray (thought it was black when I picked it, but the gray is a happy accident), and I love the original brass hardware. We decided to display our everyday dishware rather than our fine china. We have fiestaware, so there's a ton of color and SO much extra storage space. I love how casual and bright it is.
I like the glass doors, but somehow the tallness bothers me. Of course, it might be necessary in tighter spaces.
I've had success with a glass doored hutch in my Home Office/Art Room. It makes a nice place to display your favorite books covers in an artful way and a million times better than sticking all your supplies into Rubbermaid drawers!
We have one in our apartment and keep our everyday dishes in it. I love having beautiful pieces in our home that are useful for everyday use. And I don't worry about how it looks or is arranged. We have mason jars for glasses, various color goblets, tea cups, and mix and match vintage dishes. So no matter how you arrange it, it's always displaying an eclectic collection!
Can't stand the ones with those swirl embellishments on top like the first picture. I don't know why, my parents have a huge mahogany one just like it. Might be my obsession with straight lines talking..
I love these. I bought one similar to the pic #5 (without a drawer and more shelves) in an antique store. I use it as storage for linens, wrapping paper, bamboo boxes with knick-knacks…It was a good purchase.
I have a faux-Chinoiserie china cabinet that was part of my parents' dining room suite (they met at a low-end furniture store where they both worked in the early 70's) and I am constantly at war with myself about whether to keep it. It holds so much stuff. Maybe if I painted it I'd like it better -- I like that bright yellow from #6.
I inherited a 1929 glass-doored china cabinet from my Great Grandmother. Not my style, but I couldn't part with it so I moved it to my living room to store books. The unexpected use makes it feel more modern.
Glass doors elevate a cabinet into something special.
My fiance's mother offered to give us one similar to picture #3 as a long term loan, but we don't have space for it in our NYC apartment. She has a few china cabinets around her house, but this one is just sitting unused in her garage.

Breast Enlargement
(Augmentation Mammaplasty)
Chicago, Illinois
The size and contour of the female breast can be effectively increased through breast enlargement, or breast augmentation, surgery. Aesthetic breast augmentation (mammaplasty) typically is performed to enlarge small, underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after childbearing. If you would like to see before and after photos of patients that have received breast enlargement surgery, click here. For patients with sagging of the breasts, Dr. Placik may recommend a breast surgery procedure to reshape and lift the breasts in addition to breast augmentation.
Breast augmentation (mammaplasty) is performed under a general, intravenous, or local anesthetic depending upon the surgical technique and your anesthesia preference. This will be decided by you and Dr. Placik.
A small incision about two inches in length is made either in the fold beneath the breast, around the lower half of the areola (dark skin around the nipple), or in the underarm area. Next, Dr. Placik creates a pocket either directly under the breast tissue or underneath the chest wall muscle, depending on the surgeon's technique and the patient's anatomy. Then a breast implant or prosthesis is inserted into this pocket. As your body heals, it forms a membrane of scar tissue around the device to hold it in place. Several sutures are necessary to close the incisions. The procedure may take from one to two hours.
Questions about the technique and the type of breast implant to be used, as well as any concerns about the safety and present status of breast implants will be thoroughly discussed during consultation with Dr. Placik.
Following breast enlargement surgery, a dressing and elastic bandage is applied for about one week. You can be up and about within a day, but strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for approximately four to six weeks. Your breasts may be discolored or swollen after the operation. Bruising will disappear within a few weeks and swelling after a few months. You also may experience some degree of firmness in the breasts for a few weeks following breast enlargement surgery. This, too, should diminish with time. Additional surgery may be required to soften breasts that become too firm due to excessively tight scar formation, a process called capsular contracture.

Breast Enlargement Questions
Will I be able to breast feed after breast augmentation surgery?
This is a very valid question that women ask regarding breast augmentation surgery. While breast implants do affect the breast anatomy is some ways, placement of a saline or surgical implant should never prevent you from being about to breast feed.
In the past, when breast augmentation was not as common as it is today, the majority of women who had the procedure were typically women who were older and done having children. In today's modern society, breast augmentation has lost much of the stigma associated with it and it has become more affordable, allowing younger, single women to have the procedure done. Also, in the early 1990s when silicone was rumored to have negative health effects, popularity of the procedure hit a low and women who planned on having children avoided the procedure for fear of negative effects on unborn babies or danger in breastfeeding. Silicone has since returned to the market with FDA-approval and no cases of harm to children.
Will augmentation improve the appearance of sagging breasts?
Yes – by increasing the breast size with a silicone or saline implant, the breast will be fuller, and less breast tissue will be available to sag. Although implants will not lift the entire breast, or correct severely sagging breasts, they can improve the overall appearance of sagging. Patients who are self-conscious about breast sagging are encouraged to consider the cosmetic procedure breast lift.
Will my breast augmentation results look natural?
That is the ultimate goal of Dr. Otto J. Placik and his team! While we are concerned with increasing your breast size by the cup size you are most comfortable with, we want to make sure your results are very natural-looking as well as attractive. We do this by ensuring the incisions are carefully hidden in the breast folds, choosing a size and shape that fits well with your profile, choosing the ideal placement of your implant (over or under the muscle), and choosing the filler that works best with your body (saline or silicone). In designing your breast augmentation to look as natural as possible, Dr. Placik will take many factors into account, including the amount of breast tissue you have, the overfill amount (volume of saline or silicone) that has produced great results for past patients, breast implant texture, your skin thickness, and whether or not you need pre-filled or adjustable-volume implants.
Will breast augmentation cause stretch marks?
It all depends on the qualities of your skin, most notably skin elasticity. In many women, genetics are to blame for the ability to show stretchmarks. Some women may get them, and some will never have a problem. If you have preexisting stretchmarks, implants may minimize them a bit, but won't eliminate them completely. If you choose a higher cup-size, stretchmarks may develop due to the quick expansion of tissue. While there is no sure fire way to get rid of them, Retin-A, Vitamin E, and certain lotions may help with the appearance of stretchmarks.
Is breast augmentation a painful procedure?
During breast augmentation, you will be anesthetized and should feel nothing. You will experience some discomfort after the procedure as your breast tissue has been expanded due to the placement of implants, but this is manageable with medication. Pain, however, is very relative and while some patients may experience pain and soreness, others may only experience mild discomfort during healing. Discomfort will vary, also, based on factors like the amount of breast tissue, the type of implant, and the size of implant, and the placement of incisions. It is important to follow Dr. Placik's instructions during recovery to minimize discomfort and encourage rapid healing.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo City Commissioners will hold a special meeting Tuesday to get an update from staff on the status of the clean-up at the Allied Paper dump site off Alcott.
The city and local environmentalists have been battling with the EPA for years over the final plan to deal with 1.5 million yards of PCB contaminated soil currently contained in a 220 acre site off Alcott on the city's near south side. There is only so much money available to do the project because of the bankruptcy of the parent firm, Millennium Holdings.
The EPA had said that it's too expensive to do a true clean up and remove the soil. Their preferred alternative was to cap it and store it on site.
The City found a private bidder that would remove the soil for a lot less than the EPA said it would cost, and the Agency has been studying the alternatives for over a year. They had promised a feasibility study would be ready early this year.
Commissioners will get an update Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

In politics, two years is the equivalent of two eternities. But already, signs are pointing to a Republican civil war headed Georgia's way, settling into an orbit around the 2014 re-election bid of U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
Seven days ago, just as they were about to fire up their turkeys, Chambliss' assessment of Grover Norquist's no-tax-increase pledge allowed the state's more fierce Republicans to cook their birds without an oven.
"I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge," said Georgia's senior senator, who has spent the past two years trying to broker a bipartisan deal in Congress to tackle a $16 trillion federal deficit.
Chambliss has spent the past week explaining the difference between increased federal revenue needed to buy down the debt, which he supports, and increased tax rates that he opposes. The senator even let it be known that he and Norquist had a friendly phone chat Monday night.
In the meantime, the names of potential GOP primary opponents to Chambliss have dropped like leaves. U.S. Reps. Tom Price of Roswell and Paul Broun of Athens each have declared that this wasn't the proper season to discuss such things. But neither congressman ruled out the possibility.
A former aide to Karen Handel, the 2010 Republican candidate for governor, confirmed that she was giving the contest some thought. Erick Erickson, the editor of Redstate.com and an evening talk show host for AM750 and 95.5FM News/Talk WSB, is reported to have entered a period of "prayerful consideration" when it comes to his candidacy.
Mark Rountree, the GOP pollster based in Gwinnett County, says a handful of state lawmakers are also interested.
Each one of these potential candidates is in a position to become a critic not just of Chambliss, but of any of the many moves that Republicans must make over the next two years in order to restore their national competitiveness — whether the issue is fiscal responsibility, immigration or abortion.
Chambliss, in fact, is likely to be cast as the personification of those adjustments.
Martha Zoller, the former radio talk show host and congressional candidate, is currently acting as a liaison for Gov. Nathan Deal with tea party organizations across the state. Chambliss has been the primary focus of conversation at her most recent meetings.
"They don't like what he said about throwing the Grover Norquist pledge out because they support it, by and large," she said. But it is the final agreement that Republicans and Democrats cut on the deficit, and Chambliss' proximity to it, that will seal their opinion of the senator.
"They just want to see the deal," Zoller said.
Ousting an incumbent in a primary, whether Democrat or Republican, is never easy. Chambliss hasn't committed any of the egregious sins that usually apply, GOP strategist Heath Garrett said. Chambliss hasn't, for instance, become a permanent resident of Washington like the recently deposed Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind.
Richard Mourdock, who defeated Lugar in that state's GOP primary, short-circuited his chances for entry into the U.S. Senate by volunteering the opinion that pregnancies resulting from rape were a "gift from God" and shouldn't be eligible for abortion. In Missouri, Republican Todd Akin similarly saw his Senate ambitions vanish when he wandered into a discussion of "legitimate rape."
Both men will serve as lessons in the dangers of overly heated rhetoric in 2014, Garrett predicted. "There's a practicality to some of these movements that may end up helping a Saxby Chambliss even if, short-term, there's a lot of sound and fury," he said.
Tom Perdue, Chambliss' chief political consultant, declared that by the time the campaign begins in earnest, the longer aims of any deficit deal will be apparent, quieting the current rumblings.
"Saxby's going to do what he thinks is in the best interest of the country. If in the short run it doesn't look like it's politically popular or expedient, and people want to jump on that, that's their right," Perdue said. "But in the end, most every one of them will be supporting Saxby for re-election."
One person who could help determine whether Chambliss faces token opposition or a stampede in two years is the governor.
But keep in mind that the Deal crowd is still angry with Chambliss' chief consultant. Two years ago, after that heated gubernatorial runoff with Handel, Perdue suggested that Deal should step down as the Republican nominee because of his failure to disclose — in a timely manner — his perilous personal financial situation.
Deal will also be up for re-election in 2014, so any support he might offer Chambliss is already likely to be limited. And if a bear of a tea party movement is chasing both men, the governor may well decide that he doesn't have to outrun the bear. He just needs to outrun Chambliss.
Perdue acknowledged but discounted any tension between himself and the governor's camp. "Nathan and Saxby have their own good relationship apart from me," he said.

Saxby was an 'accidental Senator' at best.
Let the kooks evacuate all their campaign cash painting themselves with the 'I'm Most Conserrrrrrrvative' nonsense.
I think Georgians have finally reached the point where 'I'm more of a Statesman' is more important.
And viola, a nice even bipartisan split for the Georgia Senate seats provides balance.

Its well and good that Saxby cares deeply for the country. But he'd better care even more for Republican small business men and women who are already burdened enough by high taxes. Getting rid of a legal "loophole" as one might put it is raising the taxes for that individual. We need lower taxes to stimulate the economy together with fiscal responsibility related to spending. That is a Republican response to the fiscal cliff–not tax increases of any kind Saxby. Are you listening? Are all of our representatives and senators listening? A Republican revolt will come if not.

Of course.

"Signs that a GOP civil war may be headed Georgia's way"–JIM GALLOWAY
So Republicans can't have "diverse" views and/or disagree on issues without it being called a CIVIL WAR. What a joke, Jim Galloway.

The vast majority of people who blindly vote for any Republican on the ticket, don't have a clue as to the consequences. Rove deciphered the number of passionate holy rollers and gun toting rednecks who could be baited to vote against their own interest, and spawn the tea party. The craziest of the crazy emerged to lead the movement, and it cost them the presidential election, and more. But, this doesn't apply in Georgia, where the tea party currently represents the norm.

I don't know what all the fuss is about when since the President will raise taxes no matter how congress votes. If they accept his proposal, then the middle class will continue to get the bush tax cuts, if they refuse, Obama will let all the Bush tax cuts expire–that's what he stated in his press conference today. Is there something I'm missing? The President has also stated he would veto any bill that did not include a tax increase for the top two per cent. It seems as though Obama wants congress to refuse to approve his bill–that way he can let the Bush tax cuts expire on all wage earners and blame it on the Republicans. The people who voted to re-elect Obama are the ones that should be blamed for any tax increase, not Chambliss or any of the other Republicans in the House or Senate.

I voted for Oboma, I voted for a tax increase. We could solve all our dept problems and funding for Social Security and Medicare by simply treating capital gains and other favored income the same as income earned by the sweat of the brow.

Maxine, the people who re-elected the President, myself included, will be more than happy to take responsibility for the Bush tax cuts expiring in the face of Republican intransigence. What you and most other Republicans seem to be missing is that was what this election was about, and we won. What else you are missing is that now only 37% of Americans oppose the President's position. To paraphrase a wiser Republican than we seem to have around these days, its time for your ilk to recognize that when you're being run out of town, best grab a baton and pretend you're leading a parade.

I will not vote for Saxby or any other Republican for my own personal reasons, but at least Saxby is making an effort to work with the Democrats to get something done. Do we really need another obstructionist in the Senate or any where in Washington? I sure was hoping our leaders could be adults and work together before the fiscal cliff hits, but apparently Georgia's right wing doesn't care. The Bush tax cuts MUST GO…at least for the top two percent! You can't fix the deficit situation with spending cuts alone, how hard is that to understand? Enough of the stupidity people…work together to fix this already!

It really doesn't matter whether Saxby gets reelected or a new more conservative candidate wins. GA is a political backwater and will never have any leverage as long as it caters to the Norquiat, Limbaugh, Tea Party crowd. In other words, GA is a non-entity with regard to national politics.

Thanks to Georgia's Republican elite, (the Gainesville chicken cartel, Dalton carpet cartel, Saxby's onion cartel, etc.), those elected at large candidates, (president and US senators), will likely be in play in 2016, and defintely by 2020. Of course, Gerrymandering will perpetuate our clown parade in the House of Reps, infinitely.

Tax increases will never close the deficit as long as the big spenders in the Democrat Party and Obama continue to expand social programs and expand government. Raising taxes on the Top 2%, those earning $250,000 per year, will find the current Federal spending for less than 4 weeks. The call for tax increases has nothing to do with reducing the deficit, it is about confiscation from one group on behalf of another, retribution.
An overwhelming number of those of us who will be impacted are small businesses, such as me. My business has been hammered by Obama regulations including bank regulations which have impacted by borrowing. I face Obamacare regulations which have pushed health insurance premiums up by 35% so that pregnancy, abortion are covered regardless of need, drug rehab included eventhough we are a drug free company. Now I must anticipate increased taxes which will rob me of anywhere from $30 to $50 thousand. Folks, I will be forced to terminate employees, I cannot absorb more Government forced costs. There is only so much water in the bucket, and the bucket is drying up.
I can't help but be cynical when I read quotes from these Washington career politicians advocating more revenues. Revenues is their new word for taxes. Their revenues are our incomes. What about "cutting something folks". I've had to do it, you've had to do it, when is the last time the Federal Government cut anything? Their cut means a program which gets an automatic, Congressionally mandated increase of 8% over its prior year budget instead gets only a 6% increase. Only in Washington can this be considered a cut. Yet, the bunch in charge refuses to pass a budget even though a budget is required by law.
No, we don't need a tax increase, we need spending reductions. As for revenues, auction off oil leases, approve drilling permits. The Federal Government can realize Billions from royalties alone generated from oil, yet the Obama Admin and Democrats refuses to take this approach. They would prefer to go from squeezing the blood from the turnip to squashing and stomping the turnip in the hopes of one more drop of blood.

Hey Truth, get some facts in your right wing propaganda.
If any of your 'don't tax me" greedy "patriots" would see the facts of history and economics that the tax code we have so favors the super rich, you'd have spent the whole day and half your savings buying lottery tickets today to get such preferential treatment for yourselves–if you won.
Or you could support what the Democrats and Obama stand for–equity in the tax treatment and growth for America's economy. If you want such special treatment for the elites, join the Communist Chinese Party–it has platforms like the GOP: for the rich and pampered, but the rich and pampered and rigged for them and their heirs.

RCB, yes, but last year just the top 400 of that top 2% accounted for 50% of the personal wealth in this country and the effective rate of federal income tax that they paid averaged 18%. This year that 400 earned $200 billion, or an average of $500 million apiece, but are again expected to pay about the same effective rate of income tax. And, unlike the normal middle class taxpayer who pays a higher effective rate, only a pittance of the top 400's earnings are additionally subject to employment or self-employment tax, excise tax, etc. Consequently, I am of the opinion that we could go a long way in establishing tax fairness before having to reduce spending, although I'm hardly opposed to reducing spending on war profiteering, corporate welfare, bloated homeland security and even some social programs.

all these folks clamouring about not raising taxes are likely not in top 2%. all the bush/obama tax cuts were unfunded/contribute to deficit/debt. we gotta start somewhere as revenues are out of balance and if ceos and the like compensation has risen exponentially faster than average earners, then let's start there. jamie dimon, paulson, blankfein, buffett, romney all need to pay more for the bailouts and loopholes they have been given over time. we also need real cuts phased in commensurate with economy.
November 29th, 2012

The Congressional Research Service was contracted by the GOP to independently evaluate the correlation between top tax rates and economic growth prior to the last election (surely the timing was just coincidental). When it was concluded that there is no correlation, the report was quashed in September by the GOP. Ya just can't even make up stuff any more condemning than that.

The Party of NO! is about to increase taxes for the American People (whom they claim to speak for even after Nov 6) by failing to act on the Senate Bill (how about an up or down vote) that would freeze the Bush cuts for the first $250,000 for everyone (rich and poor). The NOP (Norquist Owned Party) owns this TAX INCREASE!

minor adjustment to marginal tax rate to rich will not have major impact on economy. also, need alternative minumum tax on tax avoiders like romney….also need spending cuts including defense, thinning federal workforce, & raising age on ssn & cap. need to control fees in medicare and medicaid as fee for service is a boondoogle. privatization of health care has led to no better results for the general population compared to many countries. but costs out the wazoo. need to pay for outcomes not cavalier services.

Do remember Georgia was the second least red state by % in the last election, right after North Carolina. If Emperor Reed's plan of bringing the movie industry to Ga continues to be fruitful, more Calif based companies will multiply in Ga bringing more Dem-oriented workers to the state.
Hey hey, bye bye…

You ever wonder why Hollywood has been so all-fired hip on doing movies here? You say it's 'Emperor' Reed…my question is just what can he offer in the way of financial incentives? The State controls the tax base and the State, aka Deal, is the one that's making it 'dirt cheap' to shoot here. Tell us, just how are we making money on this? And how much longer can we go. I mean the old adage of 'so what if we're losing money on the deal, we'll make it up in volume', doesn't really work you know. Georgia did this back when Carter was Governor…and it turned out that it was just 'robbing Peter to pay Paul', until Peter figured it out and put a stop to it.

I think you'll see a lot of Dems vote in the GOP primary to keep Saxby in place – especially if a RWNJ like Broun is running against him. The Dems don't have a deep bench now and would likely lose in the General Election, but anyone can see that Saxby is a much better option than Broun.

ArisID: Open Source Development Software for Identity Management
Software called ArisID should allow developers to write protocol-independent applications that automatically incorporate identity management standards. The overall goal is to protect user data in a dependable and secure manner.
OpenLiberty.org was founded as an open collaborative in January 2007 for designing platform-independent products and services for identify management. Financing for the project was largely provided by the Liberty Alliance, with members including Sun, Novell, HP, Oracle, NEC and Intel. "From the user perspective as well as that of the deploying organization, it's an issue of who is trusted with what," according to the Alliance mission statement. With the new ArisID development software, the Alliance wants to provide programmers a tool with which they can build identity management standards right into their applications.
ArisID gets its name from ProjectAris, as in Aristotle. Its goal is to develop a common API for existing identity management technologies. A significant part of the work involves CARML (Client Attribute Requirements Markup Language), a proposed common language base for that purpose. The project promises for its first release that developers can rely on SQL databases and LDAP libraries for help. They hope then to extend functionality to Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Liberty Identity Web Services (ID-WSF), OpenID and the OASIS WS-Trust standard. The second core aspect of the ArisID API are the WS-Policy Privacy Constraints, Identity Governance Framework (IGF) standards defined by the Liberty Alliance in June 2008.
The standards are "atomic constraints on the use, display, retention, storage and propagation of identity data" and ensure that the identity management method used is truly relevant for the application.
Aristotle project leader and Oracle collaborator Phil Hunt will present ArisID in a comprehensive webcast on Thursday, December 11 at 8:00 AM Pacific time. Interested participants can register for the one-hour webcast here.

Post 16 National Public Safety Telecommunications Week Honors "Heroes Behind The Headsets"
Date of News Release: 04/12/2013
(Henderson, KY) -- April 14-20 is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week. During this time, Kentucky State Police dispatchers at Post 16 in Henderson will join more than 200,000 fellow communicators throughout the United States being recognized for their long hours and dedication to public safety.
Post 16 currently has eight telecommunicators on staff who handle calls in Henderson, Union, Daviess, McLean, Ohio and Hancock counties. Last year, Post 16 responded to 35,083 calls.
"Throughout the state, KSP telecommunicators are the 'heroes behind the headsets' who provide a lifeline to both citizens in need and officers in the field," says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "They serve as an unseen, but vital link in keeping law enforcement officers and the public safe at all times of the day or night. They work odd hours, make personal sacrifices, handle a huge amount of stress and are ready and willing to help at a moment's notice. They deserve a well-earned salute for their dedication and service to the Kentucky State Police and the citizens of the Commonwealth."
KSP employs 185 telecommunicators at its 16 posts throughout the state. In 2012, they handled a total of 555,123 calls.
The Post 16 telecommunications team includes: Debbie Scott, Henderson (supervisor); Bridget Stone, Owensboro (shift supervisor); Alexis McGee, Evansville, IN; Belinda Littrell, Henderson; Peggy Zachritz, Evansville, IN; Blake Smith, Owensboro; April Taylor, Sebree and Courtney Travis of Morganfield.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Head coach Gary Andersen and the Wisconsin Badgers take to the field Saturday, facing a dangerous team looking to spoil any at-large BCS hopes for the Badgers.
Andersen is very familiar with BYU, with a 1-3 record against the Cougars during his four-year tenure with Utah State.
The Cougars come into Camp Randall riding a five-game winning streak, behind the duel threat style of sophomore quarterback Taysom Hill.

Devin Ebanks joins Kevin Jones as the second former Mountaineer to suit up in the NBA Summer League.
The West Virginia University men's basketball team is beginning to fear missing out on the best experience college basketball has to offer, the NCAA Tournament. WVU has lost five of its last six games to drop its overall record to 16-10. The Mountaineers are now tied for eighth in the Big East with a 6-7 record.
Selection Sunday is less than four weeks away and many schools are becoming more and more concerned about their NCAA Tournament resumes. WVU is no different. The Mountaineers have gone from a team that appeared to be a sure bet for the tournament to a team that is approaching, if not already sitting on, the bubble.
WVU Head Coach Bob Huggins likes to play a tough schedule because it really helps in the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) rankings. That is a big number used by the NCAA Tournament selection committee. It takes into consideration a team's record combined with its opponents' records and their opponents' records throughout the season. That is the only reason why WVU is still believed to be in manageable shape with 10 losses.
Take a look at West Virginia's resume:
Let's break that down further. West Virginia has played the sixth toughest schedule in the country. The NCAA selection committee tends to evaluate some key numbers that can be corrected by the Mountaineers. Right now they have two bad losses on their resume. St. John's is currently sitting at No. 142 in the RPI rankings. Kent State is No. 92.
Winning four of their final five games should make the Mountaineers a lock in the NCAA tournament.
ESPN.com bracketologist Joe Lunardi is pretty accurate when predicting the 68-team field for the NCAA Tournament. His latest bracketology has WVU listed as a 10-seed and falling. Lunardi presently pits WVU against Vanderbilt. A win would likely set up a date with Duke in the next round. That does not lend itself towards making a run in the tournament.
The good news is WVU can do something about that. The Mountaineers have five regular season games remaining before competing in the Big East tournament. There are plenty of opportunities remaining to improve that resume. Two of their final five opponents are in the RPI top 40. Four of their final five opponents are in the RPI top 100.
Typically it is all about getting hot at the right time. The 2009-2010 WVU men's basketball team did that and won the Big East Tournament Championship before continuing on to the Final Four. The 2011-2012 Connecticut Huskies won five straight to claim the Big East Tournament Championship before continuing on to win the National Championship.
Can this team get hot enough to put a run late season run together? Ask yourself if you thought the 2010 Final Four team was primed to do the same in mid-February.
West Virginia's next chance to improve its record is Thursday night at Pitt.

Rich and Josh look back at Hurricane Ivan 10 years later.
Democratic leaders in the Alabama House and Senate have proposed a plan they say would pump enough money into the General Fund budget to adequately fund Alabama's Medicaid program.
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has said the General Fund budget pending in the Senate is more than $200 million short of what's needed to fund Medicaid.
House Minority Leader Craig Ford of Gadsden and Senate Minority Leader Roger Bedford of Russellville Wednesday offered a plan they said would borrow from an industrial development fund and take money from an education budget savings account. Bedford and Ford said their plan would protect Medicaid.
Republican House Speaker Mike Hubbard said GOP leaders are meeting with Bentley to discuss ways to fund Medicaid, which might include parts of the Democrats' plan.
Jeremy King, the Governor's Deputy Communcation Director has issued a response to the proposed plans, saying "We have been working on options similar to these for some time and are continuing to explore these and other potential solutions with legislative leaders and stakeholders. Governor Bentley remains committed to arriving at a solution to this year's General Fund crisis and preserving the state's health care system without raising taxes."

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (July 26, 2013) – Former Scarlet Knight standout and current Sporting Kansas City coach, Peter Vermes, will head the MLS All-Stars at the 2013 ATT&T MLS All-Star Game. The game will be played July 31 at Sporting Park in Kansas City and air on ESPN2 at 9 p.m.
Vermes will coach the league's squad against AS Roma from Italy's top division, Serie A.
A former All-Star himself, Vermes played in the 2000 All-Star Game when he was a member of the Kansas City Wizards, a team that would go on to capture the MLS Cup.
Since 2005, the MLS All-Star game has brought in top-level international clubs to oppose the best the MLS has to offer. The MLS is currently 6-2-1 since moving to the new format with both losses coming against Manchester United in 2010 and 2011.
A First Team All-American and the runner-up for National Player of the Year, Vermes put together one of the finest careers in Rutgers sports history competing for the Scarlet Knights from 1985-87. He ranks seventh all-time in points (89), eighth in goals (35), 10th in assists (19) and second in game-winning goals (15). In 1987, he earned First Team All-America honors after scoring 21 goals and 15 assists for 52 points and helped lead Rutgers to the Region Finals of the NCAA Tournament.
Vermes was inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and has been elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year, and one in five dog bites results in injuries that require medical attention. There are ways to make dog bites less likely and to help prevent children from being bitten by dogs.
Teach children the following basic safety tips and review them regularly:
Also, teach children how to pet dogs. Before touching the animal, tuck their fingers into a loose fist and let the dog smell their hand first. Then, bring the hand up from under the dog's head. Dogs view hands coming down on them from above the head as potentially dangerous.

On February 16, it will be one year since a Woodstock girl was nearly killed in a hit and run accident in Athens. Her name was Emily Bowman and she was 19, at the time.
Bowman suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, was in a coma for weeks, and spent nearly five months at various hospitals. Doctors weren't sure if she would ever make a full recovery. But Emily is back at home, her parents caring for her around the clock and each day and she's taking baby steps, in the right direction.
She still can't walk and she can't talk, but she can identify letters on an iPad and do simple math problems with her fingers. Her mom, Debbie, asks Emily "What's 4 take away 2?" and watches as Emily slowly holds up two fingers.
Emily still requires a feeding tube, but she can now chew and swallow small amounts of food. And Debbie, who has moved into her ex-husband's home to care for Emily full time, says she has talks with her daughter about the accident.
"I have told her, on more than one occasion. It's not something I talk about every day, but I do have those talks with her and tell her what's happened and I know she probably doesn't remember," said Debbie.
Emily, a former Kennesaw State University student, was visiting friends up in Athens on that fateful day in February. She was walking along Oak Street when she was hit by a suspected drunk driver, 23-year-old William Heaton.
She spent weeks in a coma and 4 additional months at area hospitals. This summer, she returned to her Woodstock home which had been transformed into a makeshift hospital with the help of local charities.
Debbie, works with Emily around the clock while dad, Dale is at work. She has a slew of nurses, speech and physical therapists, and friends stopping by daily to help.
Doctors haven't set a limit on how far Emily can go. But Debbie says she has faith, her daughter will continue to make progress. "I'm ready to see her take that first step, I'm ready to hear her say that first word," she said.
Meanwhile, Debbie wants Emily to go back to the Shepherd Center where they have much better equipment, but she says she has to work out snags with their insurance first.
The Bowmans continue to stay focused on Emily's recovering, even while Heaton, the suspect in this case, remains out on bond.
Heaton turned himself in nearly three weeks after the accident. He faces multiple charges, including dui and leaving the scene of an accident. He has plead not guilty and no trial date has been set, at this time.

Guillermo Díaz has taken on a lot of memorable roles over the years. Scarface from Half Baked, the Wrap It Up guy (among many other characters) from Chappelle's Show, and of course Guillermo from Weeds. But from this point on, most people will simply recognize him as Huck from Scandal. Kerry Washington's character Olivia Pope may be the star, but there have been countless episodes where Huck stole the show. Here are a few reasons why Huck is everyone's favorite Gladiator.

get pumped up about wedding set up! by C & T Wedding Team! - almost 3 years ago
"On October 2nd, at The Family Wash restaurant in Nashville, TN, ten of my dearest friends and family got together to set up for my wedding. Never missing an opportunity for a themed t-shirt, I employed the skills of CustomInk to have custom t-shirts created for my team of designers/helpers. The theme of the wedding was 'a bicycle built for two', and so each of my friends proudly displayed a bicycle on their shirt, with the ever popular 'event staff' text on the back. The wedding was a success, and now everyone has a cool and useful souvenir to show for it. The t-shirt wearers were all running around like crazy on the day of the event, but I was able to snag this picture of my florist and ceremony-back-drop experts :)."

Anticipation and Absorption
Catherine Opie, Untitled #1 (Inauguration 2009)
The Future Belongs To Crowds
But it's not quite so simple. The Occupy protesters, whose encampments numbered over 900 at their peak this fall, now embody the desire for change. At Berkeley High — where the first urban slang dictionary was compiled, and whose students joined the militant Occupy Oakland, Occupy Cal, and Occupy Berkeley protestors this past winter — there is a new term of derision: "1%." Working definition: "Someone whose actions or thoughts are socially unacceptable, usually involving deception and/or theft." Usage: "I called shotgun but Isaac took the seat anyway. He's so 1%."
Then — surprise! — identity politics helped elect the first black president. And almost prevented it: whites were the only group that did not give a majority to Obama, giving the lie to the idea that identity was only the fixation of the Other. Whiteness was not invisible and universal, it was simply another identity. Meanwhile, young whites were going ham for hip-hop, writing ironic blogs about the stuff they liked, even orchestrating high-profile same-sex kisses and doing songs about them. And — surprise! — the aesthetics of a new generation of "post-black" and "post-identity" artists became the hot topic. Representation really had meant something after all — a point that ex-haters like Joe Klein (who had once denounced Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing), and Arthur Danto (who had shredded the 1993 Biennial) eventually conceded.
In December, our dining table was occupied by a group of Berkeley High sophomores, a precocious Babel of pre-, post-, and in-between identities, fiercely arguing over Obama and their future. A group of young women angrily and with impressive detail denounced Obama's spinelessness before the banks. A young man countered that even Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves out of the goodness of his heart. Presidents and politicians, he said, are so 1%. These young hearts burn to create new worlds.

Recently, our company was hired to remodel a 1950s beach cottage just south of San Francisco. The job included repairing the house's seriously damaged foundation.
Creosote-treated wood piles supported the cottage 5 feet above the beach, so storm surge could flow under it. The decks were carried by shallow concrete piers.
About half of the piles showed signs of rot.
Most of the beams that carried the floor system and decks were also showed signs of rot.
Our original plan was to shore up the building, replace the support beams, and reuse the existing wood piles. But once we got the house supported by cribbing and temporary steel beams and started excavating around the piles, we found that they extended only 4 or 5 feet below grade rather than the 15 to 20 feet we'd been expecting.
The crew members did not want to undermine the shoring when they dug down to repair damaged piles.
They excavated the areas where the cribbing would go, then built "forms" around the cribs to protect them from being buried if waves came under the house.
Since the existing foundation could not be saved, we had to design, gain approval for, and build a new one from scratch. And, with the house up on cribbing, we had to hurry. The house mover's liability insurance would not cover us if the shoring remained in place for more than 90 days, a real concern with the winter storm season approaching. If a big wave hit before the foundation was done, the cottage could be destroyed.
Although we had already planned to drill new piers for the decks, these weren't an option for the house unless we moved it out of the way or drilled from below with a handheld rig. But moving the house would be too expensive, and drilling with a handheld rig would be difficult with so little headroom above and so many stone cobbles in the sand and gravel soil below.
Instead, we decided to remove the piles and support the cottage with concrete columns extending up from a modified version of a mat foundation, which was designed for us by Joshua B. Kardon, a structural engineer in Berkeley, Calif. A mat foundation is a thick and heavily reinforced concrete "slab" stiff enough to span weak areas of soil. The mat is usually continuous, but this one would be grid-shaped, because we planned to leave the house where it was and form around the temporary cribbing. We would place the foundation in a monolithic pour, so that the cured grid and columns would act as a unified whole.
The design called for new Port Orford cedar glulam support beams, which we decided to install before forming the mat and columns. That way, there would be fewer things in the way. We could hang the beams from the joists, install the column caps, and then form and pour up to the caps (Figure 3). Since the house was so close to the ocean, we opted to use only stainless steel fasteners and hardware for extra resistance to corrosion.
It was easier to install the beams before bringing the supports up from below. Here, the beam is hung from the joists before installation of the support columns.
On the plans, the foundation looked like a perforated mat — a grid of intersecting wide grade beams, four going one way and four others crossing at 90 degrees. Each grade beam measured 4 feet wide and 18 inches thick. Of the 20 columns extending out of the grid, 16 would support the cottage and four would support the deck (see "Mat Foundation Details").
Steel reinforcing. The grid was heavily reinforced, with each grade beam containing 10 #6 bars, five on top and five on the bottom. The crew connected them with #3 ties every 14 inches on-center and spaced them off the ground with small precast blocks called dobies.
The concrete sub used a skid steer to excavate a flat surface for the grid to sit on.
Next, the crew formed the perimeter.
The crew then laid and tied all the steel before forming the inner parts of the grid.
The columns projecting up from the footings contained cages of four #7 bars with #3 ties 6 inches on-center. We had the cages tied off site and sent out to be hot-dip galvanized. Before tying the cages into the grid, the crew slipped 16-inch-diameter Sonotubes over them. Fourteen-inch columns would have been strong enough, but with all that salt water around, we upsized them to get an extra inch of coverage over the steel.
Once the steel was tied, crew members finished the formwork by boxing out the grid openings with 2-by lumber, then installed the rebar cages for the columns. They wrapped the Sonotubes with plastic to protect them from exposure to heavy rain.
Special concrete for a saltwater environment. Standard concrete is porous and prone to cracking, because as the material hydrates, bleed water forms internally around the aggregate. Once the concrete dries, there are open pores where the water used to be. On larger pours, the heat of hydration can cause thermal shrinkage cracking all by itself. We were concerned that salt spray — which attacks and corrodes even galvanized steel ferociously — would make its way to the rebar through the cracks and pores that would inevitably exist if we poured the foundation with standard concrete. We wanted the concrete on this job to be impermeable and to contain no cracks at all.
With advice from the manager of our local concrete plant, we came up with a mix containing water, cement, fly ash, 1/2-inch and 1-inch aggregate, two types of sand, fiber, and three additives. Along with the varied size of the sand, the large and varied size of the aggregate would limit shrinkage — but it also would make the material difficult to pump. Still, because access was poor and we wanted to do a monolithic pour with close to 80 yards of concrete, we needed to pump.
While a concrete pumper's natural response to these circumstances might have been to add more water, we wanted to avoid weakening the concrete, which is why we dealt with the problem by using additives that made the mix easier to pump.

Reports & Research
Black same-sex households in the United States: A report from the 2000 Census
Report Type:
October 04, 2004
Black same-sex couples are already economically disadvantaged compared to black married opposite-sex couples and white same-sex couples. Here's why:
When compared with black opposite-sex couples and white same-sex couples, black same-sex couples are more likely to:
- Parent children and
- Earn a lower annual income.
Anti-gay marriage amendments will negatively affect black same-sex couples because they are more likely to:
- Work in the public sector, relying on domestic partner health insurance, and
- Serve in the military, where they could lose income and benefits for serving openly.
Black same-sex couples have more to gain from legal recognition of their relationships and more to lose when states pass amendments banning marriage and other forms of partner recognition.
There are a number of "fact sheets" associated with this report, that focus on black same-sex households in particular metropolitan areas. You'll find them on our main Fact Sheets page.
