It's created a national call for a Billings judge to step down.
On Monday, Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced a former teacher at senior high school to 31 days in jail for the rape of a 14-year-old.
From New York to Atlanta to Los Angeles, news programs around the country are debating the Yellowstone County District Court judge's decision.
Back in 2007, Stacey Rambold raped a teen student, who later killed herself. After violating terms of the plea deal, Judge Baugh then sentenced Rambold to the jail time. In his decision, the judge also said the victim was "older than her chronological age" and "as much in control of the situation" as the teacher. This set off a controversy that has the judge apologizing.
On Wednesday, Judge Baugh met with the local media where he apologized for his remarks and said he wanted the public to better understand his decision regarding the Rambold sentence. KULR 8's Greg Lamotte was in the judge's chambers and picks up this side of the story.
The judge initially asked that no recording devices be allowed in his chambers. He said he wanted to do the interview the old fashioned way. The judge started off by saying he made a stupid and dumb mistake. He said his mouth was engaged while his brain was not. He said he couldn't explain why he would suggest the 14-year-old held some responsibility for the rape and was older than her chronological age. He said he deserves to be chastised for what he called his dumb statements. He called himself a blithering idiot. Eventually, however, the judge agreed to allow cameras into his chambers and he issued the following statement.
"Ladies and gentlemen in the Rambold sentencing I made some references and control. I'm not sure just what I was attempting to say at that point but it didn't come out correctly. What I said was demeaning to all women not what I believe in and irrelevant to the sentencing. I owe all our fellow citizens an apology. As to the sentence itself, I'll add an addendum to the court file to hopefully better explain the sentence. Thank you," stated Judge Baugh.
As for the sentencing of Rambold, Judge Baugh said when the case was first filed it was recommended that Stacey Rambold be suspended from the classroom and enroll in a sexual offender treatment program.
As the case slowly progressed, the girl who was raped took her own life. Baugh says the state believed without her testimony it would not be able to obtain a conviction.
He says it was recommended Rambold continue in the treatment program.
Baugh, who's been in office since 1985, says Rambold was eventually kicked out of the program for failing to report that he had attended a family reunion in which there were underage nieces and nephews present.
He also failed to tell program administrators that he had had sexual relations with several adult women.
Judge Baugh said these were, in his view, minor infractions.
Prior to sentencing, treatment administrators recommended Rambold continue with treatment and said Rambold was at low risk for re-offending.
But, the state recommended Rambold be given a 20-year sentence with ten years suspended.
Instead, Baugh issued a 15-year sentence with all but 31 days suspended.
Baugh noted prosecutors previously agreed to defer prosecution and dismiss the charges if Rambold completed the program.
Baugh says had Rambold completed the treatment without violation, he would have walked away clear of the case.
Now, he says at the end of his 31-day sentence Rambold must register as a sex offender.
The judge is fully aware of the outrage his comments has produced across the country, and he knows people will call for his resignation, but says for now, he plans to stay in office at least until the end of his term next year.
A national petition was started online asking to impeach Judge Baugh.
People from all over the country are adding their name to the list calling for the removal of Judge Baugh.
One person wrote, "this judge needs some sensitivity training after he resigns."
Another person wrote, "we need wisdom on the court."
Yet another says, "the maturity of a 14-year-old and a 49-year-old are not comparable."
Right now more than 17-thousand people have already signed the petition surpassing their goal of 15-thousand signatures. Now, the goal has changed to 20-thousand.
On Thursday, there will be a protest outside the Yellowstone County Courthouse at 12:15 PM asking for the judge to resign.
Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito says as much as he may disagree with Judge Baugh's sentence on Rambold, he cannot repeal the sentence based on that.
Twito says Baugh applied the law that gives him the authority to sentence Rambold.
Twito also says he will review the judge's decision and that the review is routine, something he does for every sentence.
If he finds a legal basis for repeal, he will take appropriate action.

Young at Heart
By JoAn Newby
Welcome summer month of August 2008, to our Blaine Senior Activity and Community Center. There are those who have longed for you all during the winter months, especially when the rain seemed a little cool and the air a trifle nippy.
August is that marvelous summer month, when summer is to be in full swing, the days are to be warmer and sunnier. Ah, yes, it is always good to enjoy the warmer months with outside activities. All too soon summer vacation time and many outside activities will diminish or abruptly halt.
One of the biggest events for the summer is the Senior Day at Hovander Park in Ferndale. The date this year was August 6. Another great event is the all county senior center Bocce Tournament at Bender Field in Lynden. That is Monday, August 25. Our team is a friendly group who simply enjoy fellowship, mild exercise and enjoying the great outdoors.
The weight-lifting activity is also available in the summer months. Come on in and learn how you can be a part of it. Dolly's wonderful stretch exercise class continues to meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30. Bible study led by JoAn meets Tuesday mornings at 10:30 right after the stretch exercise. Bocce ball is played at 10:30 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Blood pressure checks provided by Blaine firefighters Thursday at 11 a.m. Bridge is played at 1 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.
Don's China painting class continues to meet on Wednesday mornings. This is an enjoyable low-cost class which can open the door to a great new hobby. What an interesting way to take care of Christmas gifts! They are sure to please. The Wednesday 1 p.m. hour brings crafts and tea and a welcoming fellowship time as well as games of Pinochle. Remember to come to the easy yoga class at 3 p.m.
A Friday morning Bible class led by Mary Lou meets at 10:30 a.m. You will be sure to receive a warm welcome in the Tuesday morning Bible class and the Friday morning class.
The all county senior center bocce tournament will be on Monday, August 25. Be sure to mark your calendars for this. There will be carpooling, so let the center know if you need a ride or would be willing and able to provide one.
We can look forward with eager anticipation to the busy schedule which comes with the change of seasons. See you there!

September 13, 2012, 1:25 PM — Throngs of consumers cheered Apple's unveiling of the iPhone 5 today, tech analysts predict the iPhone 5 will be the hottest selling gadget in history, and J.P. Morgan chief economist Michael Feroli said the iPhone 5 could boost the entire U.S economy in a measurable way.
But will the iPhone 5 matter with CIOs?
When the iPhone 5 finally lands on store shelves September 21, CIOs can expect calls from employees telling them their corporate-owned iPhones suddenly slipped from their hands and smashed to pieces on the concrete. They'll need another iPhone, perhaps the newly available iPhone 5?
"Let's just say there was a coincidence on major phones shipping and either damaged or lost equipment," VMware CIO Mark Egan told me earlier this year. ( VMware recently went all-in with a bring-your-own-device mandate that supports iPhones.)
Truth is, iPhones and iPads have driven deeply into the enterprise with each new version. For instance, Consumer Intelligence Research Partners surveyed more than 1,000 consumers and found that one in five who bought the third-generation iPad released earlier this year planned to use the device for business.
There's no question the iPhone 5 will follow this lead and pour into the enterprise.
"The iPhone 5 is going to trigger another wave of devices," says SAP AG CIO Oliver Bussmann, whose company has 13,000 iPhones for employees. "Last year, in the first months after the iPhone 4S launch, we had at least 1,600 [new] devices. We expect similar demand with the iPhone 5 in the months of October and November."
Slideshow: 15 Best iPhone Apps for Busy CEOs
So what, exactly, does the iPhone 5 bring to the enterprise table?
For starters, the iPhone 5's 4-inch screen and faster processor won't be used just for better gaming and video watching-executives will be able to more easily and quickly consume corporate data. Let's face it, business analytics can be tough to view on a tiny screen. Now it's up to business iOS apps developers to tune their apps to take advantage of the bigger screen.
"More real estate to look at a company dashboard, a customer profile, all those things, will be helpful," says Forrester analyst Frank Gillett.
The iPhone 5 boasts LTE support and better Wi-Fi. While faster data speed is good for everyone, it plays an important role in some business situations, such as streaming media and displaying chunks of business data. For CIOs with media-rich mobile apps, iPhone LTE support has been a long time coming.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by The Brook Trout Great value for the price range I purchased the 7' MH model rod and I use it for general purpose musky fishing. This really is a fantastic rod for casting medium sized all bucktails and crankbaits such as Cowgirls and Super Shad Raps. The blank is light, the cork grips are exactly the length and thickness I prefer, and the line guides are absolutely first rate. My only knock on this rod is that I never thought I'd see the day that a St Croix product had a sticker which read Made In [*]. I guess that is how they got the price under $200. August 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bob St Croix Extra Heavy Muskie Casting rod Well made. Good rod for throwing the bigger baits like the bulldawgs....and Cowgirls... May 21, 2012

Ultimate proof that cats are smart !!! more smart cats«
Cat intelligence is actually a pretty interesting topic in that the majority of studies on the subject basically have to end in the conclusion "we just don't know" because cats are among the most uncooperative research subjects of all time. We know a great deal of cat sight, having used cats as the archetype for a vision-focused vertebrate/mammal, but we still know very little about what really goes on inside the cat mind.

Hug it out?
During Barcelona's match against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, a pitch invader came onto the field and made his way straight over to Lionel Messi.
Security quickly closed in on him, but before they could reach him, the man gave Messi a gentle hug. And as you can see above, the little genius hugged him back, a kind gesture to a fan about to carted off by some very annoyed stadium guards.

It was a cool mid-December game in the nation's capital last season. The Patriots, heavy favorites, were having trouble shaking the upset-minded Redskins early in the third quarter.
The game was tied at 20 when the Patriots came out in an empty package — no backs in the backfield — with three receivers and two tight ends at the Washington 37-yard line.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
10 Things You Can Do for Rheumatoid Arthritis
When you have rheumatoid arthritis, your doctor can guide your treatment, but you are the key to its success. From taking your medications as prescribed to taking care of yourself, you need to be a partner in your care. Here are 10 actions you can take now that will help you live better with RA.
Find the Right Doctor
The first doctor you saw for joint pain was probably your family physician. But a rheumatologist -- a doctor specially trained to diagnose and treat arthritis and related diseases -- can help manage your RA. Rheumatologists can prescribe complex treatments to control RA, including disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologic agents.
In some cases, you may see only a rheumatologist for your RA treatment. In others, your primary care doctor may consult with your rheumatologist to provide treatment.
If you don't have a rheumatologist, ask your primary care doctor for a referral, or contact the Arthritis Foundation or American College of Rheumatology for names of rheumatologists in your area.
Find Out More About Rheumatoid Arthritis
When you are diagnosed with RA, it's important to learn as much as you can about it. In addition to talking with your doctor, programs such as the Arthritis Foundation's Arthritis Self-Help Program can also be helpful. These programs teach about RA treatment, exercises, relaxation techniques, and how to work with your doctor and other providers. Research has shown these programs can help people:
- Understand RA
- Reduce joint pain
- Stay active
- Cope with the disease
- Have a greater sense of control over the disease and their lives
Teach Your Family About RA
Sometimes it's hard for others to understand how you can feel so bad when you look healthy. Teaching those close to you about RA will help them understand the disease and how best to support you.
To educate friends and family members about RA:
- Take them to doctor's appointments with you.
- Give them written materials from your doctor or organizations like the Arthritis Foundation or National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
- Invite them to attend meetings of the Arthritis Foundation Arthritis Self-Help Program or other support groups with you.
Take Your Medications as Prescribed
While over-the-counter pain relievers may help ease joint pain, most people with RA need prescription medications such as DMARDs or biologics.
Years ago, doctors only prescribed DMARDs if aspirin and other pain relievers failed to bring relief. Today, they are likely to prescribe a DMARD soon after you are diagnosed. Studies have shown that starting these drugs earlier may be more effective in reducing or preventing joint damage.
If your doctor recommends a DMARD and you don't take it, you risk serious joint damage that cannot be repaired. Missing doses of DMARDs or biologics could also cause a drop in the blood level of the drugs, potentially leading to a flare of your RA.
It's important to take medication your doctor prescribes as directed. If you are taking medicine for pain and inflammation and you miss a dose, pain and inflammation could return and be more difficult to relieve this time.

Strange Fruit: A Journey Into the World of the Durian
Ask a friend to name a few dishes that are polarizing, disgusting, or just bizzarre, and you'll probably get a familiar shortlist. Haggis, uni, frogs' legs, pigs' feet, and thousand-year eggs are all familiar foods that some swear by...and others swear off. But few people in the US have heard of the mysterious durian, and fewer still sell it (more on that later). If you can get your hands on this fruit, though, you might find it worth your while.
The durian is native to Malaysia and Brunei, where it hangs from trees that can grow in excess of 150 feet. The fruit is shaped like a football, but grows slightly larger, and it is covered in sharp spines. The durian's imposing appearance has won it the name "King of Fruits." That, and the smell: the durian's odor is so pungent that it is banned from public transit in Malaysia.
This is the crux of the durian's mystery. There are some who say that the flesh of the fruit, hidden under the spines, is simply the best thing anyone can eat within their lifetime. Others refuse to be in the same room with the fruit, whose smell alone reminds them of unspeakably foul things.
Recently, I set out to take this culinary litmus test. After some searching, I found a market hawking all kinds of imported produce, from lychees to jackfruit. While many stores will freeze their durians, it's much better to buy fresh, as with most foods. Key things to look for when choosing a durian are the color (the fruit ripens from green into a brown-yellow), cracking (a few cracks in the shell mean the fruit is ready to be eaten), and the quality of the stem (it should be able to support the heavy fruit as you lift it). As I scoped out the durian selection, I got a few bemused stares from people around me, which I took as a good sign.
Once I got home, I realized that what I had perceived as a distinct but mild aroma was actually a pervasive, colonizing stench. Everything smelled like durian: my backpack, the entire first floor of my house, and the fridge, where I eventually quarantined the fruit. Realizing that my journalistic project was straining my relations with my roommates, I decided to bite the bullet. I assembled a small cadre of people who weren't revolted by the smell and dug in. Using a flathead screwdriver, I cracked open the husk and separated a pod from the fruit. The flesh has a creamy top layer that conceals the white, pulpy flesh underneath. And so we began.
I can safely say I've never tasted something like this. At first, the flavor recalls tomate de arbol, which has an oniony bite without the underlying flavor of onions. This combines with something like the ghost of almond extract, all riding on a subtle taste of sweet custard. I can't say that I'd call this a positive experience, but it's one that I was compelled to repeat again and again, obsessed as I was with the overwhelming weirdness of the durian. A straw poll of my comrades revealed more definitive opinions. One reviewer described the taste as "like farts." Another opted for a simple "nope."
It could be that, like cilantro, you either get the durian or you don't. I'm not prepared to say that I really understand its appeal, but your mileage may vary. If you're feeling adventurous, consider buying one at one of the vendors above. Caveat emptor.

Let's take a moment first to go over a little Arbor snowboard history. The Arbor Collective began as an eco-friendly snowboard and skate company back in 1995. They wanted to design skateboards, snowboards, and skate and snowboard gear that used greener materials and methods, while still delivering performance and style that could compete in the mainstream marketplace. Arbor snowboards look like wood because they ARE wood. Not only are Arbor snowboards striking with their wood grain finishes, they feel amazing on the mountain thanks to their natural wood topsheets and full wood cores. Today Arbor is headquartered in Venice, California and they still strive to step up their game every season, bringing new artists, designers and friends into The Collective, delivering a beautiful, environmentally friendly line of wood snowboards, skateboards and apparel.
Looking to buy an Arbor snowboard online? Altrec is proud to be an official Arbor Snowboard Online Dealer, and our buyers have gathered a sweet set of Arbor Collective snowboards for your shopping and riding pleasure this season. Check out some of our favorites here in the Arbor 2012 and 2013 lineup.
Arbor snowboards with reverse camber, also known as rocker snowboards, are great beginner snowboards for riders who don't like catching an edge, and they're also ridden by advanced all-mountain freeriders who charge the big lines. The Arbor boards in the True Rocker Roots Collection are designed with a rocker shape that's awesome for slicing powder, carving groomers, and killing backcountry kickers:
Looking for an advanced snowboard with a traditional camber so you can carve groomers, thread trees, and punch through deep powder with precision and control? Check out the boards in the Arbor True Camber Roots Collection:
If you're a misty-eyed backcountry rider who likes to slap on the skins and find some untouched pow with your pals, then check out the Arbor splitboard:
For the ladies who like to freeride the big mountains on a rocker board, there's an Arbor snowboard for women offered in shorter lengths with ultra pretty graphics:
Arbor snowboards are always recognizable with their gorgeous wood grain topsheets, vivid graphics overlaying the natural wood, and striking designs built into their bases. Their wood and bamboo cores give them fun, springy pop and rebound, and enhance their durability and weight. When scoping out the Arbor snowboard reviews, you'll find that fans are riding Arbor boards in the parks, on the groomers, in the backcountry, on steep big mountain lines and on hard driving mixed condition laps at the resort.
If you need help deciding on the best Arbor snowboard length for your boot size and height, we've provided an Arbor snowboard size chart on each product page (click on the "Sizing and Fit" link) that helps you determine the right size snowboard for you.
The more time you spend on the mountain, the more you'll want to do your part to protect the environment and preserve this way of life. Join forces with some folks who really care, and can also shred a sick line, when you ride Arbor Collective Snowboards.
We're Available:
Mon-Fri: 7:30am-4:00pm PST

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Please be advised that although this product appears scalloped and my sample came as a printed scalloped design on rectangular paper, the design is not. It took multiple chats with WeddingPaperDivas customer service to fully understand that it can be rectangular. Other than that confusion this is a beautiful invitation and I am very happy with it!"
"I purchased this to match my poppy invitations and used this as my reception card. On the front of the card I included the reception address and time. On the back of the card I included a picture of the reception location and driving directions on the back of the card. The printing came out great and the picture I included on the back was perfect."
"FANTASTIC quality!!!!! Excellent customer service - were able to match my wedding color of tiffany blue EXACTLY & even helped me to make a last minute change after my order was placed. 100% satisfied with the final product! EXCELLENT card stock!"
"I used these cards to give guest hotel accommodation information. Everything was completely customizable and matched perfectly to my invites and RSVP cards. The card size is about the same as the RSVP card but in portrait (not landscape)... it's the perfect accompaniment to the invitation suite!"
"I used the monogram stripe cards for invitations to a wedding. The black, chartreuse, and white colors are deep and rich, the paper is thick and looks wonderful. The many choices for script allowed me to create a very contemporary invitation, which was perfect! I've received so many compliments on these invitations....I'm VERY happy with them. The service was exceptional....I had them within a few days of placing my order and they were packed well, so they arrived in impeccable condition. Highly recommended!!"

Wat Maha That (Yasothorn)
Category : Temple
Attraction Details :
Wat Maha That is an important temple of the province in the town. The building of importance here is Phra That Yasothon or Phra That Anon, an ancient square pagoda with the top similar to that of Phra That Phanom. The architecture is in the Laotian style which was popular in the late Ayutthaya to early Rattanakosin periods. The pagoda houses the relics of Phra Anon. A state minister from Si Sattana Khanahut (Vientiane) who took migrants to settle here about 200 years ago constructed it around 1778.
Another historical site within the compound is the scripture hall that is in the Isan art style. The doorway and the door are beautiful carved woods with exquisite lacquer designs. The designs on the walls show a mixture of art from the Central Region. Built during the reigns of Rama IV and Rama V of the Rattanakosin period, the hall stores scriptures on dried palm leaves and art objects from Vientiane.

BEIRUT (AP) — There's been heavy fighting today near the Syrian capital of Damascus. Violence near the airport caused Egyptian officials to turn around a flight that was headed from Cairo to the Syrian capital. They'd heard that the area around the airport was unsafe.
Officials say EgyptAir has canceled all further flights to Syria today and tomorrow, and will decide later whether to resume flights later in the week.
The U.N., meanwhile, says it is withdrawing most of its international staff from Syria due to security issues. It says up to a quarter of the 100 international staff working for several U.N. agencies could leave by week's end. There are another 900 local staffers working for the U.N. in Syria.
There's also word that a Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman who had become known for defending the regime of Bashar Assad in fluent English has flown from Beirut to London. But it's not clear yet whether the spokesman has defected.
The fighting over the past few weeks in and around Damascus has been the most serious in the capital since July. That's when rebels captured several neighborhoods, before a government counter-offensive swept them out.

Big & Rich's Big Kenny had just finished rehearsals for the duo's Wednesday appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, but he sounded as relaxed as if he was on summer vacation.
And why not? Hillbilly Jedi, the first album by Kenny (whose given name is William Kenneth Alphin) and John Rich in four years, has whipped listeners into a frenzy. Witness the rampant online buzz, with fans adopting Jedi nicknames and critics hailing the mix of country rock and ballads, many of which were written with Jon Bon Jovi and his longtime collaborator Richie Sambora.
"We couldn't be more excited that this all came together and this is all blowing up. And I'll betcha it's gonna continue to keep on," said Kenny with his trademark devilish drawl. "That first song on the album, 'That's Why I Pray,' is poignant, and the rest are, too."
Indeed, "That's Why I Pray," the only song on the album that the two didn't co-write but which they performed on the Tonight Show, is something of a narrative of Big & Rich's last four years. Although the song was written by Sarah Buxton, Blair Daly, and Danelle Leverett (one half of the Jane Dear Girls), Kenny said it sums up everything he and Rich feel about family, friends, and the priorities in life that led to the duo's hiatus.
"It's hard to start a family with a brother as a Siamese twin. We have spent so much of our lives together, rockin' and writing rock and playing," said Kenny. "We have written over a thousand songs, so to be able to respect each other enough to allow us to have the duality of our families and do some things that important to us says a lot."
The two partners both spent time nurturing families and participating in an array of high profile charity work — including Rich's Celebrity Apprentice win and Kenny's myriad humanitarian efforts.
"I couldn't be more proud of John. That stuff is hard," said Kenny, ticking off a list of charity work, much of it for the benefit of children, that they each undertook. "There are a lot more kids in school right now, kids in better places, thanks to us being able to take some time off."
Once each man had checked some major goals off their individual "To Do" lists, Kenny said they found themselves in a place where "we just missed writing and singing together, quite honestly."
That came to the forefront when they collaborated on the song "Fake ID" for the movie Footloose and decided to record it. From there, the two began performing together, quickly finding themselves back in the Big & Rich groove.
Bumping into buddies Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora found the foursome with a bit of time to finally collaborate on songs. The result, of course, is much of Hillbilly Jedi, a title that was made possible in part by Bon Jovi who called his friend George Lucas to unsnarl copyright red tape.
"He said 'What do you mean you can't use it? I'll call George. He is a buddy of mine,'" said Kenny relating a response from Bon Jovi. "George answered his phone! He was at the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. I told John when we do these radio interviews we should say we made that up because it doesn't even sound like it's true. It is though. We didn't make it up."
It's also true that Bon Jovi has previously invited Big & Rich on tour, but the scheduling stars haven't aligned on that—yet. Still, with Sambora putting out a solo album this week and Bon Jovi having one in the works, fans might want to keep an ear to the ground for tour news.
"We are talking about some craziness with touring concepts for next year," said Kenny. "We are going to continue Big & Rich and knock down even more walls, get even more fans. We are working together, putting together tour concepts we want to try that would be insanity. We want to give back to our fans in a big way — and Bon Jovi had invited us on a world tour. They may just do that again. They're wide open to working with us for this album, too. Who knows? The future is briggggghttttt!"

The truth of the matter is as president of the United States I've got a lot of responsibilities. I was supportive of Tom and I've been supportive of Tom. Obviously I would have loved to see a different result, but the broader principle, that what we want is an economy that is not just focused on the few at the top, but is a broad based economy that invests in our future… I think that's something that in everything that I do shows that those are the values I care deeply about.

By Rosalind Bentley / firstname.lastname@example.com
From his early works until now, Atlanta artist Fahamu Pecou has always explored the intersection of hip-hop culture and fine art.
And as guest editor of the current "Art x Hip Hop" issue of Art Papers magazine, Pecou has brought together some of the nation's up-and-coming artists, scholars and MCs to explore topics from appropriation of black style to a meditation on rapper Kendrick Lamar. On Feb. 24, Pecou expands the "Art Papers" project with "InterSessions: ArtxHip-Hop Dialogues," a conversation between rapper T.I. (Clifford Harris, Jr.) and Michael Rooks, High Museum curator of modern and contemporary art. It's the first of a series, moderated by Pecou, that will bring together some of Atlanta's top hip-hop artists and notable arts figures. It is free, though tickets are limited.
The inaugural event, which was sold out, was postponed by Atlanta's SnowJam a couple of weeks ago. It was to have happened just days after Macklemore and Ryan Lewis beat out favorite Kendrick Lamar in the rap category and took home four Grammys. It was a win that vexed Pecou. In it he saw a reward for a mainstream version of rap that seemed more a parody of the genre's origins than a homage to its creators.
"Let's be honest, hiphop was created by and was a tool for black and brown people who were socially and politically oppressed," Pecou said. "It was a way not to be rendered voiceless. Now, if you're not paying attention, you'd think they didn't create hip hop. I just think it's important to recognize the source."
Whether that is actually the case, it is just the sort of argument Pecou plans to explore in the "Intersessions" series.
Since the birth of rap music and hip hop culture in the 1970s, the music and visual arts have always intersected, starting with graffiti and video. Pecou's paintings, drawings and music, have long nestled in that intersection. Usually depicting his young, black, male alter ego, Pecou's work critiques stereotypes of urban manhood while also seeming to embrace them. His work was shown in last year's "Drawing Inside the Perimeter," exhibition at the High.
But even as rap and hip hop moved to the mainstream and its visual representations moved into high-end galleries and museums, the demographic groups that created the genre did not typically follow into those fine art spaces.
Studies in the museum field have shown that African Americans and Latinos who have not reached the middle class often cite a perceived barrier to visiting museums, that they are places in which they don't feel comfortable. Pecou is not the first black artist to try to bring non-traditional audiences into major museums. "InterSessions" is one of several such projects Pecou has initiated to make under-served audiences feel comfortable in fine art galleries and museums. And to see their lives represented on the walls of those institutions.
If we don't own the conversation, somebody else will," Pecou said.

WASHINGTON—— Long before Austin "Jack" DeCoster became a central figure in one of the largest egg recalls in history, he had paid more than $10 million in fines and lawsuit settlements, his eggs were banned in one state and quarantined in another, and he was almost single-handedly responsible for new restrictions on child labor in his native Maine.
He also was embraced by local governments in two states eager to reap the economic benefits of a large egg farm, even a rule-breaking one.
This month, DeCoster's Wright County Egg farms in Iowa recalled 380 million eggs. A second Iowa egg producer, partly supplied by a DeCoster-owned firm, pulled another 170 million eggs off the shelves.
On Thursday, federal authorities confirmed that the two operations are contaminated with the same strain of salmonella that has sickened at least 1,500 people. The salmonella outbreak is one of the largest ever, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Health officials said they do not expect the recall to increase beyond the current total, but say the tally of the sick may rise as individual cases are linked to the contaminated eggs.
Meanwhile, political pressure has built, with at least one congressional investigation under way and a hearing on egg safety slated for the middle of next month.
The half-billion egg recall is, on one level, a stunning regulatory failure: The FDA, which is responsible for the safety of whole eggs, has acknowledged that it had never inspected either set of Iowa facilities, notwithstanding DeCoster's decades-long trail of regulatory battles.
But it's also a testament to the willingness of communities to accept a trade-off between filled tax coffers and a business shadowed by pollution, civil rights and safety issues.
"Please note that while this man has very poor business practices and a history of violations of environmental laws, he has contributed a great deal to Wright County, not only in the form of property taxes, but also by increased numbers of students in our school system, which leads to more state aid for education, and also through donations to community projects," Barb Mussman, publisher of the Wright County Monitor, said in an e-mail.
A spokeswoman for DeCoster said he is working with the FDA on issues related to the egg recall, but she declined to comment on the various past allegations.
DeCoster, who is in his mid-70s, runs his egg empire with the help of two sons: Jay, who helps manage operations in Maine, and Peter, who is chief operating officer of Wright County Egg.
In the late 1970s in Maine, DeCoster, already a large, well-established egg producer, was battling opponents on multiple fronts.
He'd been sued by his neighbors for a beetle infestation, was fending off union-organizing drives and was under scrutiny by the Labor Department for an array of wage and hour law violations.
Perhaps most significantly, the Maine legislature passed a law prohibiting children under 16 from working in proximity to "hazardous machinery or hazardous substances" because of accidents involving teenage workers at DeCoster's facilities.
"It was because of DeCoster. ... Kids were always being hurt there," said James Tierney, a former Maine attorney general who, as a state representative, voted in favor of the measure.
"There's no question that DeCoster's egg farm was a major law enforcement problem in my time in the legislature and as attorney general,"Tierney said in a telephone interview.
But three months after Maine legislators approved the DeCoster-inspired changes in the state's child labor laws, DeCoster sealed a lucrative deal in another state. Commissioners in Kent County, Md., approved an $8.5 million industrial revenue bond to help DeCoster finance a large egg farm that soon became one of the county's largest taxpayers and purchasers of locally grown feed.
"We grow a lot of corn and soybeans around here. We needed a steady outlet so we didn't have to haul so far. Prices probably increased a nickel a bushel when (DeCoster) started buying," said William Manlove, a farmer and former commissioner in neighboring Cecil County, where some of DeCoster's facilities, housing 2 million birds, were located.
But, Manlove said, "We found out we hadn't gotten the whole story from Maine. We had constant problems with him."
In the summer of 1988, New York state health officials banned eggs from DeCoster's Maryland operation after linking them "to outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness," including salmonella.

State Budgets: The Day of Reckoning (CBS's "60 Minutes") "The most alarming thing about the state issue is the level of complacency," Meredith Whitney, one of the most respected financial analysts on Wall Street and one of the most influential women in American business, told correspondent Steve Kroft… "It has tentacles as wide as anything I've seen. I think next to housing this is the single most important issue in the United States, and certainly the largest threat to the U.S. economy," she told Kroft. Asked why people aren't paying attention, Whitney said, "'Cause they don't pay attention until they have to."…And nowhere has the reckoning been as bad as it is in Illinois, a state that spends twice much as it collects in taxes and is unable to pay its bills.

Bath Time Can Lead to Cancer
Bath time is supposed to fun and relaxing for kids so how would you feel if you found out the the products you are using on them may cause cancer?
Well, according to a recent study, that's exactly what's happening because many children's bath products contain chemicals that may cause cancer and skin allergies.
According to the study, which was released earlier this week by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, 23 of 28 products tested contained formaldehyde. For those of you only familiar with formaldehyde as an embalming agent, it's considered a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency and is released as preservatives break down over time in a container.
32 of 48 products contained 1,4-dioxane, also considered a probable human carcinogen by the EPA, which is a byproduct of a chemical processing techniques used to make petroleum-based ingredients gentler to the skin. Nearly two-thirds of products tested, including Johnson's Baby Shampoo, contained both chemicals, according to a coalition of environmental and health groups that includes the Breast Cancer Fund and the Environmental Working Group.
A spokeswoman for Johnson & Johnson says the company's products are safe, meeting or exceeding all regulations. And a spokesman for the Personal Care Products Council says the study's results are old news.
Apparently, manufacturers have known for years that bubble bath, shampoo and other products contain small amounts of formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, and have already reduced theses levels significantly, says John Bailey, the council's chief scientist.
A new study from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found that many baby bath products contain formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, which are both linked to cancer and skin allergies. The campaign notes that products with formaldehyde levels over 500 parts per million require warning labels in Europe, although not in the USA.

CRAP- what do we bathe with then>
You should try things like Dr. Bronners all natural soap. Also when searching for bath products you should look for labels that state EU compliant, the european union(EU) has much stronger rules for beauty products.
YOu can also use the skin deep cosmetics database to look up how toxic your stuff is. It also gives you a list of nontoxic.
So the Johnson's stuff we all grew up havingused on us, then using it on our kids is going to kill us all? Sure, OK.
Perhaps its just another way of making parents spend EVEN more money on stuff.. That "all natural" stuff is WAY more expensive then johnsons and johnsons, or huggies brand… I suppose its worth it if its true tho…hmmm..something to think about!
I buy all my household products through a catalog company based in Idaho. In the U.S. there is no regulation of personal care products like there is in Europe so you have to be very careful. This company is very strict with its ingredients. I haven't had a sinus infection since I started using their products almost three years ago and threw away my Astelin, Flonase and Allegra products about a year and a half ago. I'm hooked and even have a website that talks about wellness that I share with friends. It's Cincy.WhyWellness.com. The Toxic Video is very informative. Maybe it will be helpful to you, too.
What does this mean for Johnson &Johnson??
I thought this company was the BEST in terms of baby products!!!
I am a person with very delicate skin
(Lupus). The only products that I am able to use is Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil, power, and lotion. For twenty-five years, all I have been able to use and smell is the products produced by Johnson
& Johnson. I have had no negative effects from the products. I think every time researchers want to find something negative they will find a way to do it. In my opinion, I feel the products are safe or else using it on a daily bases I would already be DEAD!!!
An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a bit of analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast as a result of I discovered it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! However yeah Thnkx for spending the time to debate this, I feel strongly about it and love studying extra on this topic. If attainable, as you turn into experience, would you thoughts updating your weblog with more details? It's highly helpful for me. Massive thumb up for this weblog publish!
