LAWRENCEVILLE -- A male inmate at the Gwinnett County Jail faces additional charges after authorities say he sexually assaulted a female inmate last week.
Lawrenceville resident Quincy Rogers, 39, was designated as an inmate worker and was cleaning the jail's admissions area when the assault happened, an official said Thursday. Rogers has been jailed since July on felony charges of drug possession and for probation violations, records show.
According to an arrest warrant, Rogers violated the woman with his left hand the afternoon of Sept. 1. The alleged victim, of Loganville, was booked Aug. 31 for violating terms of probation that trace back to an earlier traffic arrest.
The Daily Post does not identify victims in sexual assault cases.
Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais said the woman was not injured and did not make an outcry.
"It was brought to our attention the next day by other inmates," Bourbonnais said.
Rogers was immediately removed from worker status and placed in maximum security, she said.
He faces an additional felony charge of aggravated sexual battery. As before, he has no bond.
Bourbonnais said inmates, who are classified upon entry to the jail, are assigned worker status based on current charges, past history and disciplinary history.

Former member of A'st1, Sung In Kyu, passed away at the young age of 24 on February 22. He has been battling thymus cancer since 2011.
The news of his passing spread when fellow member, Park Jung Jin tweeted, "My dongseng member who performed with me as A'st1…In Kyu went to heaven today… It must have been hard while getting chemotherapy, but In Kyu always answered the phone with a bright voice…I hope that he can rest comfortably in heaven… February 22… Asan Hospital Funeral Home."
Park Jung Jin added the room number where loved ones and fans can send Sung In Kyu off.
Thymus cancer is a type of cancer that grows on the thymus, a small organ placed right between the lungs. The cancer is usually discovered after the patient begins having breathing problems.
A'st1 debut in 2008 and participated in the OST for KBS' Boys Over Flowers. The group, which included Chinese and Japanese members, disbanded in 2009.
Through his blog, Sung In Kyu told fans about his cancer back in 2009.
"Right now, it's hard to sing due to the lack of breath, but I won't give up my dreams. I'll show you. I'll get all of my treatments and return with good news," wrote Sung In Kyu in one entry. "See you soon on the stage. I love you."
We send our condolences to the family and friends of Sung In Kyu.

A student's academic standing and decisions regarding academic probation and dismissal are determined by his/her cumulative grade point average and other appropriate criteria. When a student's cumulative grade point average drops below 3.0 at the end of a semester, he/she will be placed on academic probation. The student will be notified by letter of his/her academic probation and will be required to meet with the dean of the academic program or designee. A student who is placed on academic probation must reach a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 and must achieve good academic standing by the end of the next semester or the student will be dismissed. Any student who completes at least one 600 level or higher course and whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 at the end of a semester will be dismissed from the college. Students who are dismissed may apply for reentry into non-matriculated status after a semester. Requests for reentry into non-matriculated status will be reviewed on an individual basis.
Students are expected to comply with the rules of conduct, academic regulations, and established policies and practices of the College and the KGS. Should a situation occur whereby a student violates the Guidelines, codes, and regulations, or fails to comply with requests of administrative authorities, or plagiarizes, he or she may be dismissed from the KGS. Students have the right to appeal a dismissal to the Dean of Graduate Programs.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized a shipment of 2,400 switchblade knives and 1,200 butterfly combs from China July 12 at BWI airport.
CBP's Baltimore Trade Enforcement Team examined the shipment and found that the confiscated combs were constructed in such a way that allowed easy removal of the comb and insertion of a knife blade. Officers also concluded that the sharp metal teeth of the combs could be potentially harmful to users if left as a comb.
The shipment was stopped from entering the U.S. under the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958.
A letter has been sent to the importer, but no criminal charges have been filed yet. The assessed domestic value of the 3,600 pieces is $26,568.
"Switchblade knives are generally illegal, and the blades and poorly constructed metal combs pose a significant threat to health and public safety," said Ricardo Scheller, CBP Port Director for the Port of Baltimore. "Customs and Border Protection officers, import specialists and agriculture specialists pore over hundreds of thousands of commercial entries daily to ensure that each commodity fully complies with applicable federal laws and regulations and is safe for American consumers. We take this responsibility very seriously."

Thank you for photo
Thank you for the photo of Hoyt Crump, but there is a slight problem that neither the name on the headstone nor the dates on headstone match his.
His death certificate shows both the name on the memorial and the dates.
Thanks for your efforts but I must ask that you remove the photo as it is for someone else that is buried there of whom I have no information.
My Hoyt Woodrow Crump died in 1946 in a historical airplane crash and the one you posted died in 1981.
Sorry for the extra work on your part but I really appreciate your efforts.

With eight games to go until the All-Star break, the Phoenix Suns have added some depth at the point guard position. Well, sort of.
The team recalled point guard Diante Garrett from Bakersfield Monday, following his successful seven-game assignment with the Jam (D-League affiliate). Garrett, who signed with the Suns as an undrafted free agent back in October, averaged 15.1 points, 7.4 assists and 1.7 steals during his time in Bakersfield. The former Iowa State standout had no problem scoring either, as he recorded four games of 15 or more points and one game of 20 points. His addition seemed to also do wonders for the Jam, who went 6-1 during his brief stint.
Garrett made five starts in Bakersfield, but he'll be hard-pressed to find much playing time in interim head coach Lindsey Hunter's rotation moving forward this season. His return to the team comes just a day after rookie Kendall Marshall (six points and one rebound) played a season-high 15 minutes in relief of starting point guard Goran Dragic. Also, while Sebastian Telfair didn't touch the floor in Sunday's 110-95 defeat in Dallas, the veteran point guard had averaged over 15 minutes per game since Hunter took over for Alvin Gentry.
Before his assignment with the Jam, Garrett made six appearances with the Suns and averaged 0.8 points and 1.2 assists per game.

Holly Madison: I'm Turning My Placenta Into Pills To Take
Mom-to-be Holly Madison – who is nine months pregnant – has a plan to recover after giving birth.
"This might sound gross, but I'm totally planning on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth," the 33-year-old former Playboy model wrote on her blog on Wednesday.
Adding, "I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can! Have any other moms out there done this?"
According to Us Weekly, January Jones also had her placenta turned into pills (which some say helps nourish new moms and also wards off postpartum depression) after she welcomed her son Xander in September 2011.
Besides sharing her post-birth plans, Holly gave her fans a look inside her baby daughter's new room.
"Making progress painting my nursery . . . I wonder if I will finish in time!" she wrote, posting a photo of a massive mural.
The "Girls Next Door" and "Holly's World" star, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, is due March 5.

9 ways Facebook is getting slimy
New moves aimed at making money are fine, but not when you anger users along the way.
Some of the moves have been downright infuriating, such as switching everyone's email address to a facebook.com address. Others have been just annoying, such as the new "sponsored stories" that now appear in feeds.
Nearly every move appears designed to make Facebook more money by increasing traffic, showing users more ads or persuading them to pay more.
Post continues below.
Sorry, Facebook, but you're getting a little slimy. I understand that you've got a bunch of shareholders now and you need to keep the money machine going, but little by little, the user experience is getting sacrificed.
Here are nine ways Facebook is getting shady:
1. Charging to promote posts
Businesses can now pay to promote a post and have it stick around longer in the news feeds of more people. Friends of people who have interacted with the post will also see it, possibly for up to three days, Facebook says. The company calls these "sponsored stories."
One of my friends liked the Nordstrom (JWN) page, for example, and last week Nordstrom's sponsored post showing a Diane Von Furstenberg dress appeared in my news feed. Really? No wonder PCMag.com called this feature "a new tool for jerks." Another tech site called it "not much more than sponsored spam."
2. The email switcheroo
Facebook automatically gives users their own facebook.com email address -- uh, thanks? -- but even worse, it then switched users' contact email addresses to those Facebook addresses. Craziness ensued. Some people said the contacts in their online address books were changed, and others reported lost email.
Facebook users had to go in and change their settings to hide that facebook.com email address. "Switching a user's contact information without their consent feels like an enormous breach of trust and leaves me less likely to trust such a company with any communication more substantive than happy birthday wall posts," wrote an astute observer on Mashable.
3. More and more ads
Facebook has steadily increased that number to seven. Now, Facebook is testing as many as 10 ads per page, reports AllFacebook. Once upon a time, Facebook only showed you one ad per page.
Fewer ads were one reason people jumped from MySpace to Facebook, writes John Koetsier at VentureBeat. "While you could argue that some ads are beneficial to the user experience if they're relevant and timely, more is not necessarily better," he adds.
4. Users under age 13?
Facebook bans children under age 13 from joining, but that could change. The company is developing technology to allow children to use the site with parental supervision, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The idea drew immediate criticism from just about everyone, and prompted an inquiry from two Congressmen, Reps. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-Tex.). Facebook wrote the lawmakers in June and said this: "At this point, we have made no final decision whether to change our current approach of prohibiting children under 13 from joining Facebook."
5. No permission necessary?
Facebook is thinking about letting users play games immediately without showing them a Permissions box, AllFacebook reports. In the past, a user would see a little box asking for permission for the game to access a user's profile information and friend list. Soon, that little box may not be there.
Instead, the game would have a blue bar above it that lets users opt out and the information removed from the app. Why the change? Because Facebook says that the new way leads to more game installs and lower opt-out rates. "If users become more comfortable with their basic profile information being used to personalize websites, apps and games, the social network might eventually decide to allow some of this info to be used by default," writes Brittany Darwell of AllFacebook.
6. Adding a 'want' button
Facebook users are comfortable with the "like" button. But do they want a "want" button? One Web developer says he has found evidence that the company is testing the feature, perhaps with the ultimate goal of sharing your purchases on the site.
A "want" button is pure gold for advertisers. If somebody "wants" a pair of Old Navy jeans, for example, I could see Old Navy blasting that person and all their friends with ads for eternity. And Facebook would ring up some serious ad dollars.
7. Facebook is watching
Facebook loves facial-recognition technology so much that it bought Face.com, which specializes in the software. The company uses the technology to suggest the names of friends on photos that you upload. "Now I can take pictures of cute girls at the grocery store or at the park, upload them and Facebook will tell me who they are!" joked one hopeful commenter on Engadget. Not exactly, but the idea is scary enough.
One security researcher told Mashable that this recognition technology could lead to more forms of -- surprise! -- advertising. What if Facebook can also recognize products, and knows you're holding a can of Coca-Cola in your hand in that photo? There's an ad opportunity.
8. Monitoring our chats
Your Facebook chats are private, right? Nope, the company is using security software that scans chats for criminal activity, Reuters reports. Facebook isn't saying a whole lot about what goes into this, but Reuters says that in general, the software looks for inappropriate language and exchanges of personal information.
The Facebook software helped police bust a man in his early thirties who was chatting about sex with a 13-year-old South Florida girl and planned to meet her (see, even 13-year-olds shouldn't be using Facebook!). That this guy was caught is absolutely great. But the idea that Facebook's bots are listening to everything we say? Not so much.
9. Rotating ads -- because you just can't see enough
OK, fine, we'll take the seven (or is it 10?) ads Facebook shows us. But the company has kicked it up another notch. If you've been on the same page for a while, it will remove those ads and show you new ones.
"This change was implemented a few weeks ago and we think this will help people see more relevant ads," a Facebook spokesperson told ClickZ.
Users not as satisfied
It's no coincidence that as Facebook has ramped up its money-making engine, user satisfation has begun to fall. In surveys from the American Customer Satisfaction Index, Facebook only scored 61 out of 100 in customer satisfaction among active users. That's down eight points from 2011. Facebook scored lower than Twitter, LinkedIn (LNKD), Pinterest, YouTube and Google+ by Google (GOOG).
Facebook will give its first earnings report as a public company Thursday, and investors will be closely watching to see if the company can boost its revenue growth. The company is under pressure to begin making money from mobile advertising and increase its overall growth rates.
The company almost seems like it's throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. I cringe now when I see any news item that begins with "Facebook is testing."
An awesome user experience is what helped Facebook build a base of more than 900 million users. Facebook is now walking that fine line between making more money and turning those users off. Don't blow it, guys.

Facebook is kind of a sign of the times and the on-going spiraling decline of culture.

Add the commercialization of Christmas and every other holiday. A culture that denigrates intellectuals as "nerds" and worships sports figures like Joe Paterno and Michael Vick.

This is a press release I received today. Check out the site—it's pretty cool, and you'll learn something. For example, I'll bet you didn't know that in 1926 a scientist filed a patent for a FET-like amplifying device. Unfortunately, they were never successful in building function devices…..Dan
The Computer History Museum, home to the world's largest collection of computing-related objects and information, today announced that it has unveiled "The Silicon Engine" website. Funded by a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation of San Francisco, California, "The Silicon Engine" presents a timeline of key semiconductor industry events behind the story of semiconductor technology and its central role in the computer revolution through 1979.
Widely regarded as one of the most important technical innovations of the 20th century, the semiconductor-based transistor and its microchip offspring, integrated circuits, microprocessors, and semiconductor memories have changed the way we live, work, and play. From cell phones to supercomputers, microchips supply the intelligence and the horsepower and yet the stories of the people, products, and companies behind them are seldom celebrated. Developed by members of the Museum's Semiconductor Special Interest Group in cooperation with the Museum's curatorial and technology staff, "The Silicon Engine" is the first comprehensive online presentation of the history of semiconductor technology to be developed by a major institution.
"The Silicon Engine" describes, in chronological and milestone formats, fifty-five key events that led to today's billion transistor microchips. The timeline extends from Michael Faraday's discovery of a semiconductor effect in 1833 to Bell Labs' single-chip digital signal processor in 1979. Each milestone includes a description of the event together with historical images, references to original documents, and sources of additional information. A section on Teacher Materials provides lesson plans that introduce students to topics such as technological innovation, invention and problem solving and the significance of Moore's Law (an important trend in the history of computer hardware first presented by Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore in a 1965 paper: that the number of transistors that can be inexpensively placed on an integrated circuit is increasing exponentially, doubling approximately every two years.)
Other resources on the site include biographies of semiconductor pioneers and their companies, a semiconductor glossary, and links to oral histories and other related websites. A second phase of the project that will provide online access to documents, oral histories, and images of artifacts in the Museum's collection will be completed in 2008. The Computer History Museum is also seeking additional funding to support the final phase of "The Silicon Engine" project, which will complete the remaining decades of this important industry timeline. Anyone with relevant materials or resources to contribute should contact David Laws at 650-810-1057 or email@example.com.

If you have been to Target or Home Depot lately in Lakeway/Bee Cave, you may have noticed that they are starting to move some dirt around in the hills behind the stores. That will soon be the site of approximately 250 new single family homes built by Taylor Morrison. Roads to this new development should be complete in April and pre-sales will actually be starting next month. There are no plans for an amenity center; however, Bee Cave Central Park is very close by and there are a couple of public pools in the area as well. Of course, the new Lakeway Regional Medical Center will be minutes away and the Hill Country Galleria is practically walking distance. Being that the community is in Bee Cave, the tax rate will be one of the lowest in Austin. Home prices will start in the high $200s, although the views in the area are fabulous which means they may have some homesite "premiums" that could push prices realistically into the mid $300. Ladera should shape up to be a very nice, intimate, attractive community of homes. Taylor Morrison builds homes with great open floor plans and lots of curb appeal. Check out the Taylor Morrison homes online or in person at Fairways in Steiner Ranch and their 60′ section of Crystal Falls, to get an idea of the homes they will be building at Ladera, in Bee Cave, Texas.
If you are interested, you should get on their interest list!
UPDATE as of 7-3-2012
Ladera is NOW OPEN! The roads are cut and you can drive into the community. The trailer is located on the corner of Ladera Drive and HWY 620 across from the Chic-fil-a. The actually community is located behind the Target and Home Depot in Lakeway. It is looking good!!

By Saryn Chorney, with reporting by Mary Park
Snow and Fashion Week -- they go together like wool socks on a tropical beach. But that didn't stop style icon Victoria "Posh" Beckham from attending the Fashion for Relief Haiti show sponsored by American Express on Friday night. The former Spice Girl and wife of soccer star David Beckham spoke exclusively to Wonderwall about her passion for the charitable cause, her support for event organizer Naomi Campbell, and how she's fashion-fearless even in inclement weather.
WONDERWALL: Why did you want to attend this charity event?
Victoria "Posh" Beckham: You know, I just want to raise as much money as I can, lend my support. I want to do what I can to help. It's for an incredible cause. It's for the women and children of Haiti. I'm just excited to be here.
WW: How do you stay fashionable in the snow?
VB: (She strikes a model pose) This t-shirt is the official CFDA t shirt, all the proceeds go to Haiti. And these shoes? They're a really old pair of shoes to be honest -- they're just Louboutins.
WW: How did Naomi Campbell convince you to get involved today?
VB: What Naomi is doing is truly incredible. If I can support her in any way, you know I'll go out of my way for her. I have a lot of respect for (Naomi), she's a phenomenal woman. And David has also donated clothes, football tickets, football shirts and all sorts of things for the show in London. We just want to do as much as we can as a family. We were honored to be asked.

The Wi-Fi-enabled ultracompact gets the screen it should have had the first time around, not to me ntion other feature tweaks.

It's been a while since Panasonic updated its enthusiast compact line, and it comes back with a vengeance for the LX100
Due out in November, the new iCamera Keep will work with existing systems or on its own, and features built-in motion and sound sensors, HD quality video, and night vision.
The Wide 300 gets a more streamlined look than its predecessor while keeping a nearly identical feature set and price, while the camera maker also added new color options to its Mini models.
Updates for the company's latest X-series compact also include Wi-Fi and a better LCD.
Now you can get a round, LCD-free version of the A5000.

Dragon Age 2 Demo Confirmed for February 22When word of a previously-unannounced Dragon Age 2 demo was found hidden on BioWare's website earlier this week, the developer dismissed it as "speculation" and insisted the demo was not confirmed. Today, however, is a brand new day and it's been announced, unsurprisingly, that the fantasy RPG sequel will indeed receive a demo.
BioWare's hidden page did turn out to be somewhat misleading, as the demo will in fact be released on February 22--not February 23, as the hidden page stated.
The demo starts off during the game's prologue before jumping to the new location of Kirkwall. As a bonus for completing the demo, you'll unlock a special weapon to use in the full version of the game, the blade Hayder's Razor. That's another one to add to the colossal pile of items players can already obtain before even loading the full game.
The Dragon Age 2 demo will be available for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on February 22. The full game is slated to launch on March 8, hitting the same platforms.

Comment: Re:One slight problem with that ratio... (Score 1) 119
I know very little of astronomy, but I have to wonder at the reason why each of the fusion cyles is shorter... is it only because some intrinsic property of the heavier fuel? I had alsways assumed that the fact that there is only a fraction of the original star mass that makes it to Carbon, and only a fraction of that to each successive element in the list what the root cause the the exponential decay in life expectancy of each fuel source. If that is the case, the reason that each cycle is shorter is the lack of fuel. Now, what if ALL the star is made of heavier fuel from the start? Shoud we still expect a ridiculously short fusion time for the initial fuel? If the answer is no, shouldn't such a star be able to shine for at least a few million years?
This is an honest question by someone who wants to know, not a criticism of the parent post.

Winner of 10-Men's Stylist Awards
Hot Off the Press: Lady Jane's Haircuts for Men's latest styling award has been given to us by NBC Channel 4 News. Now that's exciting!!! Why would men or boys choose anyone over Lady Jane's Haircuts for Men? IT'S WICKED AWESOME!
When it came to the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, Channel 955's Mojo in the Morning deemed themselves "snubbed" going on four years straight.
"I can't wait to not see Coldplay!" joked Spike after the lineup of featured artists had been revealed on July 23.
"You're just stabbing me in the heart!"
Enter Chad Johnson.
The Lady Jane's CEO – who is sponsoring a contest to send Metro Detroiters to the event – had a trick up his sleeve.
"I've got some wicked-exciting news to tell y'all this morning," he said, "we're bringing you guys to Vegas with us for the first time and you guys are going to broadcast live from Las Vegas!"
Mojo and his team actually didn't believe him at first!
"You're full of bologna," said Mojo.
"Don't even do that to us!" added Spike.
Once the news actually settled in with the morning on-air crew of Mojo, Spike and Shannon, the excitement was electric.
Then the news that Rachel, Calvin and Slim -- the behind-the-scenes team -- would be attending as well put them through the roof.
"We've never been to Vegas for this thing," said Mojo. "We've seen countless morning shows across the country that have been there ... and leave it to Chad from Lady Jane's to take us there."
The crew will broadcast live from Vegas after the event, which will fall at approximately 3 a.m. Detroit time.
"Are you going stay up with us to broadcast?" asked Mojo.
"I am going to stay up," declared Johnson. "I'm excited about it."
The show will feature Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Usher, Mötley Crüe, One Direction, Train, Eric Church (Johnson's favorite), and more.
"Chad and Lady Jane's are going to be sending you – Detroiters that listen to the Mojo in the Morning Show – to Vegas," announced Mojo. "So you've got to listen from now until September."
How can you win? Listen to Channel 955 for a specific word to text the show!
When to listen:
8am, 9am, 11am, Noon, 2pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm
Sat & Sun:
11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm

Wedding date: October 13, 2012
Her story: Angela Horner, 27, grew up in Severn. She lives in Baltimore's Pigtown and is licensing team manager at Laureate Education. Her father, Robert Horner, is a physicist in the electronics industry. Her mother, Gloria Horner, is a Hospice of the Chesapeake volunteer, and teaches English as a second language through her church, Severn Run Evangelical Presbyterian Church.
His story: Chris Montgomery, 34, grew up in Pasadena. He lives in Baltimore's Pigtown and is a network administrator at Anne Arundel Community College. His father, Robert Montgomery, is a field engineer for SSCS. His mother, Jeanne Montgomery, is a medical transcriptionist at Anne Arundel Medical Center.
Their story: They met 10 years ago, in 2002, when she was in her last year of high school and taking newspaper journalism and acting classes. He came to fix a computer in the student newspaper office, where she was working.
"We were friends for about five years before we started dating," Angela says. "We were just hanging out with each other. We eventually realized we liked each other better than anyone else. It was a process of elimination, I guess. It's one of those awkward things where we didn't have that official first date. It took us about two months of dating before we realized we were actually dating each other."
Chris remembers a New Year's Eve when things began to crystallize for him.
"Some friends were going out and I was trying to get her to come out," he says. "I wanted her to come out so badly that I asked a friend to help convince her. A few days later, I realized how much I had wanted her there more than anyone else."
Angela remembers her "a-ha moment."
"I think I realized how invested I was when I went to England on a 10 day trip with my college around 2007 and missed the heck out of him," she says. "When I came back, I found out he had also missed me a whole lot. That was a turning point when we both realized that life without the other one wasn't very much fun."
The relationship progressed. And the two moved in together three years later.
"We talked about it for a year or so before we did move in together," she says. "We're both very cautious people, so it takes us a long time to commit to decisions. But, when we made that decision we knew there was no going back — that we would be getting married. Moving in took some getting used to. One of the biggest decisions was whether we should put all of our books on the same shelf or keep them on separate shelves."
"And whether or not to merge our music collections," he adds with a laugh.
"It's about half and half. I have some of my own shelves and we have some that are mixed," says Angela.
"He has three cats he took as strays," she says. "I've never liked cats. But, after living with them for two years, I begrudgingly like them now."
"She pretends she doesn't like them. But, she does," he says.
The proposal, December 29, 2011:
"I knew that he had been looking for a ring for about 6 months," she says.
"Probably because I asked her about ring size," he says, with a laugh.
"Between Christmas and New Year's, we took a road trip to St. Louis," Angela says. "On the way back, we stayed House Mountain Inn, Lexington, Virginia. It's a big lodge-type bed and breakfast up in the mountains. He was very excited staying there. But, we like bed and breakfasts, so I thought he was excited about the place. When we got there, they had a wine and cheese hour. Then we spent about an hour reading in front of the fireplace. He didn't read. He was reading the same page again and again. But, I was totally oblivious. They had a little balcony off the second story. About 10 minutes before dinner, he said, 'Let's go take a peek at the balcony.' We went out there to look at the stars. It's out in the mountains and there are stars everywhere. He asked how I was, and I said, 'Very happy.' Then he started shaking. He was trembling like a leaf. At that point, I thought something was going on. And then he got down on one knee and said 'Angela, will you marry me?' It was so dark out there, I couldn't actually see the ring. I forgot to say anything for what seemed like a really long time. Then, I realized I hadn't and said, 'Yes, of course' and burst into tears. We went back inside so I could look at the ring. He did an absolutely perfect job [with what he picked]. It's really pretty. We have similar taste in jewelry. He knew what I didn't like. So he spent a long time looking for it."
"The ring has a floral pattern with a round cut white sapphire set into the ring rather than sitting above it...with very tiny diamonds around it. It's very low profile with a bit of a nature tone," says Chris about the ring he got from Valerie K. Studio on etsy.com.

Over a period of 30 years, artist-naturalist Laura Cunningham assisted with biologists' field studies, researched oral and written histories, and traveled around California with sketch pad and paints to observe declining species and relict habitats. In her new work of historical ecology, A State of Change: Forgotten Landscapes of California (Heyday Books, $50), she reconstructs how some of the state's landscapes might have appeared in prehistory and shows how they have changed over time. The book will be an illuminating reference for conservationists and urban planners as well as anyone who wants to know California's landscapes more intimately. And it's a pleasure to read.
Cunningham represents data with hand-drawn diagrams (like the one shown at right) that are packed with information and carry a sense of immediacy. The text is clear and thoughtful, and it's supported by an extensive bibliography. And the book is full of her field sketches, whose expressiveness and economy of line are refreshing. The drawings are often accompanied by lively notes (a sea otter's movements, she writes, are "fluid & rolling, like a Slinky toy").
At the heart of the book are Cunningham's oil paintings, imagined landscapes of the distant past. Many of these are paired with present-day photographs. Readers who know California will enjoy seeing familiar views anew, but the paintings will be fascinating, and the contrasts poignant, even to those who have never visited the state. At left, grizzly bears are shown foraging for acorns on a plain that today is the parking lot of a shopping center in the Bay Area city of Albany, near the author's childhood home. Personal and ecological history converge; the result is a loving and discerning portrait that encourages us to imagine how the place might best be treated in the future.
All places deserve to be observed and documented with this kind of wide-ranging attention. Let's hope that such efforts are supported wherever people like Cunningham are moved to undertake them.

VIDEO: Citizen Scientists Aid Researchers in Studying Camel Crickets
They may bounce really high and look strange, but don't worry, they are harmless...they even scavenge for crumbs off of your floor! A continental-scale citizen science campaign was launched in order to study the spread and frequency of native and nonnative camel crickets in human homes across North America.
Mary Jane Epps, PhD, an author of the paper, went into more detail about the study and significance of citizen scientists in an interview with Katie-Leigh Corder, web managing editor.
