LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A grandmother tears up as her 4-year-old grandson fights for his life, accidentally shooting himself in the face.
"As soon as I found out, I just left the house and was on my way down here," the boy's aunt, Eboney Thompson told WAVE 3 News.
Four-year-old Kamarion Posey was rushed to Kosair Hospital after his mom called 911 around 3:30 in the afternoon. Shortly after the family gathered at the home.
"I don't know how to feel. I'm numb. And my main concern right now is my nephew. That's it," Thompson said.
Police say the boy's mom was the only adult in the home. Kamarion's 2-year-old sister and 3-month-old half brother there too. Neither one of them were hurt.
Police didn't give any info about the gun, where it was, whether it was locked, or who it belongs to - questions the boy's family and friends also wanted answers to.
"When a kid gets shot, and he shoots himself, the fact is, it should have been prevented, from the whole jump," family friend Andre Mulligan said.
Neighbors were out as soon as they heard the sirens.
"You would think that they learned from other cases of kids playing with guns. It's just sad, people got to do more, it's just sad," neighbor Dayvon Cowheard told WAVE 3 News.
Kamarion's grandma told us he had just gotten a haircut. His aunt described him as a spunky 4-year-old year old who loved his family and toy cars. The family now clinging to hope, asking but one thing from others.
"Prayers, and a lot of them. We are going to need them," Thompson said.
The homicide unit is now investigating because of how gravely the boy was injured. Police did release that they recovered a gun from the home, though they didn't say how it was being kept. Authorities haven't yet said if there will be any charges filed against the mom.

The Giants, looking to restock their secondary with players following severe injuries to several key contributors, have signed veteran CB Brian Williams.
A member of the Falcons for the past two seasons, Williams also has spent time with Vikings and Jaguars since coming into the league in 2002. He played in all 16 games for Atlanta last season, starting one, and finished with 36 tackles. He did not record an interception in 2010, the first season of his career where he failed to do so.
The Giants lost starting CB Terrell Thomas and backup Brian Witherspoon to torn ACLs during the team's second preseason game Monday night. First-round pick Prince Amukamara broke his foot early in the preseason and likely will miss the early part of the season.
"Well, he's a veteran, he knows how to play," head coach Tom Coughlin said of Williams on Wednesday. "He's been a good, physical blitzer. And we're in need of someone that can learn some things real quick."

Presented with views from all sides, in the Lakewood Playhouse's unique "in the round" seating, this production of "12 ANGRY MEN" will drop you right into the middle of the jury room and the heated debate within!
Reginald Rose's timeless classic American drama about our justice system and the very human, and often difficult, choices that are needed to keep it alive, 12 ANGRY MEN features the Lakewood Playhouse debut of Director VICTORIA WEBB.
The show consists of a true "ensemble" of thirteen Local Actors who are "split right down the middle" with both new, and old faces to the Lakewood Playhouse stage including these actors returning from previous productions: JAMES WREDE (Foreman), JACOB TICE (Juror #2), JOSEPH GRANT (Juror #4), JED SLAUGHTER (Juror #6), BRUCE STORY (Juror #8), MICHAEL DRESDNER (Juror #11) and CONNOR TIBKE (The Guard).

"How Will YOU JUDGE the Jury?" A 17 year old boy has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. It looks like an open-and-shut case until one of the twelve jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. A classic, and tense, American drama about the very human part of our judicial system. A Lakewood Playhouse Premier! Parental Advisory: Because of the "heated discussion" in the jury room, some threats of violence may occur.

Tuesday's set of 2011 DFB-Pokal second round fixtures didn't provide any surprises, though a couple of Bundesliga sides received serious scares. All of the big clubs in action took the competition seriously, playing their first team squads regardless of opposition. Borussia Dortmund, Hamburg SV and Borussia Mönchengladbach all advanced past lesser opposition, though the latter two sides had to struggle.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-0 1860 Munich
Fortuna Dusseldorf are in good form in the 2.Bundesliga while 1860 are struggling, and that form was apparent on Tuesday. Though, the gap between the sides wasn't supposed to be this large. 1860 defender Collin Benjamin had a shocker, putting in an own goal and getting sent off as Fortuna striker Sascha Rösler scored the other two goals.
Heidenheimer 0-0 Borussia Mönchengladbach (Gladbach advances on penalties)
Despite playing their best side, including budding superstar Marco Reus, Gladbach couldn't manage a goal in 120 minutes of play. However, the shootout was kind to them and they avoided embarrassment with a 4-3 shootout victory.
RB Leipzig 0-1 FC Augsburg
One of the three football properties under the umbrella of drink magnet Red Bull, RB Leipzig are making huge strides in climbing the German football pyramid to get into the Bundesliga. However, the current Bundesliga side were too much for them today, with Daniel Brinkmann scoring his first goal of the season in Augsburg's win.
SpVgg Unterhaching 1-4 VFL Bochum
It's been a rough few months for Bochum, who lost a promotion playoff last spring and now sit mid-table in the 2.Bundesliga. However, they put on a show on the road today, scoring four goals and giving away two penalties, one of which was converted, in a wild match.
Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Dynamo Dresden
This one was a little more one-sided than the scoreline indicates. Dresden were never in it, and Dortmund had all of the ball. Robert Lewandowski and Mario Götze scored the goals, while Lucas Barrios returned as a substitute. This game featured an unfortunate delay in the middle of the second half, caused by an idiot in the Dynamo supporters' section with a cap gun.
Eintracht Trier 1-2 Hamburg SV
Trier almost pulled off an absolutely massive upset, pushing HSV to extra time, but German international Dennis Aogo saved everyone the agony of penalties with a game-winning free kick goal in the 110th mintue.
SpVgg Greuther Fürth 4-0 SC Paderborn 07
These teams are both doing reasonably well in the 2.Bundesliga, so this score was a bit of a surprise. Fürth are an excellent side, though, and you're likely to see them playing in the Bundesliga next season.
Hoffenheim 2-1 FC Cologne
In the day's only matchup between two Bundesliga sides, Hoffenheim completed a comeback victory over Cologne, who are missing some key players due to injury. Mato Jajalo stunned the home side with a 6th minute goal, but they came back to win in regular time with goals from Chinedu Obasi and Knowledge Musona.

The Detroit Lions have put Fairley on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.||||||| The 2011 first-round pick started seven of 13 games, had 5 1/2 sacks and 35 tackles after a lackluster rookie year. Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to DUI and reckless driving and was sentenced to a six-month suspended jail term, a year of probation and a $600 fine. He hopes a pretrial diversion program will allow those charges to be dismissed.
A Mobile municipal judge has dismissed a misdemeanor marijuana charge against Fairley.||||||| Defense attorney Sid Harrell said the charge was dismissed on Tuesday. Judge Matt Greene agreed with prosecutors that there wasn't enough evidence to show partially smoked marijuana cigarettes found in Fairley's vehicle on April 3 belonged to the former first-round pick out of Auburn. Harrell says Fairley passed a drug test Tuesday, is tested several times a week by the NFL and has passed them all.
A lawyer for Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley says he will ask that the player be allowed to participate in a pre-trial diversion program instead of facing a trial on charges in Alabama. Fairley is charged with driving under the influence and attempting to elude police.||||||| Attorney Sid Harrell says that if Fairley completes the diversion program by taking an anti-DUI course, he expects the charges to be dropped. Fairley was arrested in Mobile County on May 27 after a state trooper said he was traveling at 100 mph in his Cadillac Escalade and initially didn't pull over. He also faces a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge Nov. 27 in his hometown of Mobile. Fairley was a 2011 first-round pick after helping lead Auburn to a BCS title.
Fairley's court hearing on charges including driving under the influence and attempting to elude police has been pushed back to Sept. 26.||||||| Mobile, Ala., County District Judge George Hardesty Jr. granted defense attorney Sid Harrell's request for a delay on Friday. Fairley earlier had a hearing on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge in Mobile Municipal Court continued until Nov. 27.
Fairley is publicly apologizing for his recent arrests in Alabama.||||||| Fairley says his "actions were inexcusable." Writing Friday on Facebook, he says he needs to meet the high standards of being a professional athlete. Fairley was arrested in Mobile County, Ala., on May 27 after a state trooper said he was traveling at 100 mph in his Cadillac Escalade. He was cited for reckless driving, no proof of insurance and open container. Fairley also was arrested April 3 in Mobile, Ala., for possessing marijuana.

Polls close Friday for PolitiFact's Lie of the Year
By Bill Adair
Published on Thursday, December 8th, 2011 at 11:58 a.m.
Our Readers' Choice poll for Lie of the Year has produced some unprecedented jockeying from both ends of the political spectrum.
Liberal bloggers have criticized our inclusion of the Democratic claim that Republicans voted to "end Medicare" as a finalist. Conservatives have highlighted that claim and several others that involve falsehoods from Democrats.
Rep. Paul Ryan has e-mailed his supporters asking them to vote for the Medicare claim. Last night, he posted a video appeal. And now the liberals say he's trying to rig the results.
Just a reminder: The PolitiFact staff will name the Lie of the Year later this month. We select the falsehood that we believe was the most significant of 2011. We'll also publish the results of the Readers' Choice poll.
Here are the finalists and the link to vote:
President Obama "went around the world and apologized for America." -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney
The Obama administration's review of obsolete regulations was "unprecedented." -- President Barack Obama
The vaccine to prevent HPV can cause mental retardation. -- Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann
"Republicans voted to end Medicare." -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and other Democrats
Abortion services are "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does." -- Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
Because of more restrictive voting laws, Republicans "want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws." -- Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., and head of the Democratic National Committee
Scientists are "questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change. … (It is) more and more being put into question."-- Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry
Congressional Republicans have introduced dozens of bills on social issues and other topics, but "zero on job creation." -- Facebook posts
The economic stimulus created "zero jobs." -- The National Republican Senatorial Committee and other Republicans
"I didn't raise taxes once." -- President Barack Obama

The ship itself moved around under sail more than most in my experience, but that may have been due to its modest (by modern standards) size. However, it was very smooth-sailing and amazingly free of mechanical noise or vibration. It was so quiet that it was impossible to tell we had docked without looking outside. We noticed that despite being reasonably full, the ship never really felt crowded and we never had to wait in line for more than a few minutes.
The crew was delightful. Mainly Pilipino and Indonesian staff with Dutch officers, we got nothing but outstanding service from all. The food was also uniformly excellent with the specialty Le Cirque dinner a true 5-star experience. We availed ourselves of a high-end wine tasting that was memorable and well worth the extra cost. We also liked the flexible dining option very much.
Entertainment was somewhat limited compared to other cruise lines we have experienced, but was generally of good quality. The shopping areas were oddly configured, limited in size and scope, and not up to the level of the RC, Carnival and Cunard ships we had been on before. Even so, the staff, as elsewhere on board, was friendly and knowledgeable.
Administratively, the ship was run flawlessly, with check-in and check-out amazingly quick and efficient.
Overall, this was a very good cruise and well worth what we paid. Hopefully when Holland America returns the Westerdam from dry dock, some of the faults we found will be corrected and they will have kept all the best parts.

Its score is 2.1 points worse than last year, with deteriorations in seven of the 10 economic freedoms including trade freedom, investment freedom, and the control of government spending. Mozambique is ranked 22nd out of 46 countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, and its overall score is below the world average.Mozambique registered the 10th largest decline in economic freedom in the 2013 Index. Despite some progress in previous years, extensive state controls and institutional shortcomings severely undermine development of the private sector, and the country lags in productivity growth and dynamic economic expansion. The foundations of economic freedom are fragile and uneven.During the second half of 2011, Mozambique resumed exporting its coal for the first time in 20 years. However, structural problems including poor public finance management and underdeveloped legal frameworks undermine private-sector growth. Trade and investment policies are undercut by government interference in the economy. Arbitrary tax policies, marginal enforcement of property rights, and weak rule of law have driven many people and enterprises into the informal sector. Read more about Mozambique Economy. Close Background Mozambique held its first democratic elections in 1994 and since then has been promoted as a model for development and post-war recovery. However, when President Armando Guebuza was re-elected in 2009, the elections were widely regarded as corrupt and unfair. In 2012, in an effort to curb corruption, the government passed a law restricting the personal business activities of politicians and public servants. Economic growth has been generally strong since the mid-1990s, but the country remains poor, and the economy is burdened by state-sanctioned monopolies and inefficient public services. Small-scale agriculture, fishing, and forestry employ about 80 percent of the population. The informal sector accounts for most employment. Major exports include aluminum, shrimp, and cash crops. HIV/AIDS is a serious problem. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 30.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 27.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Property rights are not strongly respected, and law enforcement is inefficient and uneven. The judicial system is not fully independent and remains vulnerable to political influence and corruption. In the absence of an efficient legal framework, court rulings can be arbitrary and inconsistent. Mozambique is one of the world's most aid-dependent countries, with roughly half of state expenditures funded externally. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 64.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 76.2 Create a Graph using this measurement The top income and corporate tax rates are 32 percent. Other taxes include a value-added tax (VAT) and an inheritance tax. The overall tax burden is equal to 18.1 percent of total domestic income. Government spending has increased to 34.4 percent of total domestic output, with budget deficits continuing. Expansion of the revenue base remains crucial as external budget support is beginning to diminish.

Launching a business takes less than the world averages of seven procedures and 30 days. Completing licensing requirements, however, takes more than 300 days.

Lets look at whats up in the air. Or, maybe not up there.
The Brown Mountain Lights is an enigmatic luminous phenomenon reported in the Linville Gorge area for over a century. I have been investigating the lights for more than 15 years and have, in the last couple of years, helped form a local group of investigators that includes geologists and outfitters in that area.
The lights have been reported from viewing locations on N.C. 181, at the Lost Cove overlook on the Parkway, and at Wisemans View. After a lot of trips to stare in the dark for hours, I became pessimistic: How come some people reported always seeing the lights, yet I never saw anything unusual?
We have traced the history of the lights, and they seem to have morphed over the decades. The earliest report was of a single light that always appeared at the same place and time. An exploration by U.S. geologists concluded it was a train light. Reports of lights then seem to grow with the simultaneous expansion of electricity and lighting in the region.
Claims of the Cherokee seeing the lights were investigated and found to be myths. No convincing description of the lights was found in a book of 500 myths collected around the 1900s. The story that they were witnessed by William Gerard de Brahm, surveying the southern colonies for Great Britain in the mid-1700s, is also untrue. De Brahm never made it into North Carolina. Yet these myths will live forever on the Internet.
After changing from pessimism to cynicism, my own interest was rekindled when I got reports of close-up encounters not likely confused with natural lights. We are documenting these reports with video interviews.
We have installed two cameras that monitor Brown Mountain and the Linville Gorge, with a third camera planned. We have seen some interesting lights but nothing unexplainable yet. You can find a link to the images at www.brownmountainlights.org.
The bottom line is that most people are unfamiliar with the dark, especially the outdoors in the dark. They go to see the lights, they see some kind of lights, and they leave thinking they have seen the lights. So the vast majority of anecdotal reports are bogus, and any statistics collected from them, such as a best time of the year to look, are invalid.
I hope we eventually see the real lights and figure out what, if anything, they are. But we must also expect the possibility that we will determine that they simply arent.

Most of Tampa's drinking water is treated surface water
from the Hillsborough River. The river begins in the Green Swamp and
winds its way through Tampa to Hillsborough Bay. In Tampa's Sulphur
Springs area, the river reaches the Hillsborough River Dam. The
Hillsborough River Reservoir, the stretch of river between the dam and
the 40th Street Bridge, impounds more than 1 billion gallons of water. The
reservoir holds Tampa's primary drinking water source, which is treated

Well, no humans had Paladins until they had Paladins. It wasn't genetically programmed into Lordaeron or Stormwind as subspecies. Gilneans as humans having latent druidism is hard to buy, but it actually makes less sense that they be the only humans who could never have been Paladins for some reason.Worgen also can't be paladins for a similar reason; Gilneans never had any sort of Paladin order, so they naturally didn't have any Paladins.

Do you suffer from back pain? Do you find yourself sitting at your desk for hours on end? Do you naturally have poor posture? Would you like to sit more comfortably all the time? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the solution may be a kneeling chair. These chairs date back to ancient Buddhist times and were used to align the body for optimal meditation. Read about them on wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kneeling_chair
Essentially these ergonomic chairs put emphasis on the legs and realign the back into its natural curve. By doing so the back is relieved of its stress from hours sitting at your office desk or from poor posture. Many people actually use them as their everyday office chair claiming that they work more efficiently when they experience less stress on their back. These knelling chairs are also claimed to open up the diaphragm to allow for deeper and easier breathing while seated.
When you first sit in one of these chairs you will instantly notice the shift in your body weight from emphasis on your lower back in a normal office chair, to the leg muscles, specially in the shin area. By shifting your weight in this way, the chair forces your back into its natural S-curve, putting the curve in your lower spinal area.
When most of us normally sit down, we slouch our lower back. Over time, this slouching leads to extreme stress on the lower back and ultimately back pain or problems. By using a kneeling chair either at work, or after work, you can reshape your back, regain your posture, and leave your days of back aches behind. Pick up this chair today at any big box retail store or online at a variety of sites, and start taking years of stress off your back and regain that youthful spine you once had.

I'm trying to use plymouth with ubuntu server 11.10 but with no luck. I've installed the server as minimal virtual machine on VirtualBox. Then I installed plymouth theme, but it does not show up. One of the theme I used only displayed a text during the boot. So if anyone get it working, I hope to know how!
plymouth always has a theme and is always used in the boot of Ubuntu, its just not obvious because servers use the 'details' theme which is in the plymouth package itself.
Before running down the theme rabbit hole though, make sure you have added 'quiet' back into your grub commandline. By default, servers do not have 'quiet' because we want to see the text that commands output as they start up (this was a change made in 11.04). You'll need the tool debconf-utils to check it, then do:
If you see 'noquiet' in there, then that may be what is stopping your logo from appearing. Also if you see 'nomodeset' that will stop graphical boot. You can fix this with
BE CAREFUL as those settings are vital to your system being bootable, so possibly consider doing a backup before changing them.
Now, if you do have 'quiet' mode on, and you want to have another theme chosen, you need only install it, and it should be set as the default. If you'd like to manually check what the default is, you can use the tool
If you'd like to make the graphical logo appear on your server boot, it should be as easy as doing
If that doesn't cause the default alternative to change to the output above, then you can always force the issue with:
Though that may just tell you there is only one choice. If you have plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo installed, and you've removed 'nomodeset', and you have 'quiet' as a boot option, and you still get no plymouth theme, theme, then your graphics hardware may just be incapable of providing a graphical boot for your server. 'plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text' should at least give you the version + dots.

Despite the fact that they lost last week, no one wants to play Toledo right now. The Rockets went into Columbus and nearly shocked the Ohio State Buckeyes. Couple that with their dominant 58-22 win over New Hampshire in the first week and the Boise State Broncos suddenly find themselves in a much tougher game that they initially expected.
When the Rockets and Broncos meet on Friday night in the Glass Bowl, the Rockets will be looking to prove last week wasn't a fluke as well as avenge a 57-14 shellacking courtesy of Boise last season.
Toledo will try to replicate its giant-defeating process. WR Eric Page is as explosive as any player in the country and if the Broncos can't contain him, they'll get in trouble real quick.
For the Broncos, a road win here helps their case to remain among the elite teams at the top of the rankings. Suddenly, a win over Toledo means something.
Game date, time: 8:00 pm ET, Friday, September 16th
Location: Glass Bowl, Toledo, Ohio
TV channel: ESPN
Spread: Boise State favored by 19.5
Series history: Boise State leads 1-0

(CNS) A group of Los Angeles Unified School District employees held a news conference and rally to demand that school board immediately halt cuts to vital services for students. The school board is set to vote today to send 208 layoff notices to employees, including school psychologists, psychiatric social workers, counselors and teacher librarians.
UTLA has a message for LAUSD's Board of Education: HHS (Health and Human Services) employees are vital to the safety and well-being of students in the district. Tuesday the school board is scheduled to vote on a proposal to cut 208 positions-school psychologists, psychiatric social workers, secondary counselors, public service and attendance counselors, and school librarians.
Members representing each discipline will explain to the Board how students benefit from the services they provide. UTLA President Warren Fletcher will also address the RIF (Reduction in Force) proposal and how it flies in the face of common sense. Fletcher said, "The answer to school safety is not about guns; it is about prevention. And who better to identify underlying problems than school psychologists and other HHS professionals?"
HHS professionals are in place to help students cope with real life problems including: homelessness, abuse, teen pregnancy, neglect, mental health issues, bullying, suicidal thoughts and violence on campus. These issues affect everything from attendance to a student's ability to learn.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Corey Crawford has shrugged off criticism for his entire career with the Blackhawks, so one bad playoff game isn't about to bother the Chicago goalie.
Jonathan Quick can relate to Crawford's challenge after the Blackhawks allowed six goals in a series-evening loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Game 3 in the Western Conference finals is Saturday night at Staples Center.
Quick and the Kings were shredded for 17 goals in the first three games of their playoff run, but they've bounced back impressively.
Crawford's five goals allowed in Game 2 - all in the last 22 minutes - matched his worst total of the season. But the Blackhawks know their collapse wasn't their goalie's fault.
They're determined to improve against Quick, whose reputation for playoff moxie grows with every round.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- "We think this is just a big giant leap forward," said Donna O'Crowly, who has been in a same sex relationship for 37 years.
For same sex couples in Central Illinois, the Supreme Court rulings brought renewed hope.
"It makes your heart happy," said Peggy Burton. "You think oh, we are getting closer to being equal. Not different, just equal."
The rulings mean if same sex marriage were to be passed in Illinois, the federal government would recognize it as marriage, therefore allowing federal benefits that come with it.
For Hector Martinez, it would mean the opportunity to be covered under his partner's insurance plan.
"I'm very excited because right now as a full time employee I don't have any health insurance," said Martinez. I have to currently work at my place for five years before they provide me with any insurance."
For Donna O'Crowly and Peggy Burton, it means peace of mind in the future.
"We have to go through a lot of contortions to make sure our property will be passed to each other without tax consequences," said Peggy Burton.
Proponents for same sex marriage said they are confident it will be passed soon in the state of Illinois.
"I understand that I could go someplace else and get married," said Martinez, "but my hope is that here in Illinois I can get married one day and have all the benefits that married couples get."

Federal money tough to pin downJuly 23,2013By PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau
MONTPELIER — Economists for the state can forecast with surprising accuracy the tax revenues expected to flow into the treasury over the next fiscal year.
But predicting one of the largest sources of funds to Vermont's $5.2 billion budget — federal revenues — has proven a more difficult task. And despite a recent analysis done by experts for the Legislature, pinning down the federal funds on which the state so heavily relies is still something of a guessing game.
"There are just so many unknowns at this point," said Steve Klein, chief fiscal officer at the Legislature's Joint Fiscal Office.
"And there are a lot of political choices that are going to get made that are totally outside our control."
Official state revenue forecasts, the most recent of which arrived Tuesday, are historically reliable, deviating by only about 2 percent on average over actual revenues. That record of success gives lawmakers a high degree of confidence in the $1.56 billion in general fund revenues forecast to flow into Montpelier over the next 12 months.
Getting similarly reliable estimates for money flowing from the federal government is more difficult. But Klein said one thing is clear: risk for Vermont is to the downside.
In a report titled "Federal Funds — Reductions Today and Tomorrow," Klein surveyed the federal landscape in an attempt to divine how decisions in Washington, D.C., will affect Vermont. From health care and transportation to grants that support human services, Klein said Tuesday that federal funds coming into Vermont will likely shrink in the coming years.
"And one area where that could be extremely noticeable is in transportation," Klein said.
The reauthorization of the five-year federal transportation bill will likely overhaul a state-by-state allocation formula that has until now been favorable for the state. Vermont gets $2.85 cents from the feds for every $1 in gas tax it sends to the federal treasury, a ratio Klein said he expects will narrow in the next five-year bill.
Projected declines in federal discretionary spending, according to Klein, also imperil some of the federal dollars coming into
Vermont. Non-defense discretionary spending supports everything from assistance for low-income populations and energy investments to public safety grants and environmental protection.
As a share of gross domestic product, according to Klein's report, non-defense discretionary spending is expected to drop by a third over the next 10 years, from 8.3 percent to 5.5 percent.
The reductions will come at a time when Vermont is more reliant on federal funding than at anytime in recent memory; federal funds now account for 46 percent of Vermont's non-education budget.

Immigration Is Key Issue
Published on TheHill.com on August 5, 2014
The complex, mind-numbing debate over illegal immigration and America's borders has suddenly become very simple. Once, the various plans — the Gang of Eight Senate bill, the Cornyn bill, the House plan — dominated the debate. But now the question has crystallized to a choice between in and out.

Mariah Carey: The Emancipation of Mimi Review
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Features, Music, Product Reviews
It has been promoted as The Return of the Voice. Saying that the "old" Mariah is back. She's been co-producing her own albums since 1990 and has more #1 hits than any other female artist in history. She is the #1 selling recording artist of the 1990's. Is she back? Where did she go? Does this album have what it takes to redeem her credibility as an artist? Producer? Singer? I decided to take a trip home with Mariah on her emancipation journey partly expecting to be disappointed, but also hopeful of all the hype this album has created. Does it live up? We take a track-by-track look at Mariah's latest.

How To Copy Music Legally
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music
CNet has posted a good read on what you can and cannot legally do with the music that you purchase online or in-store. It was surprising to me that if you want to back up to cassettes, the Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) of 1992 makes an explicit exemption for cassette backups. But it doesn't apply to backing up your collection to a computer. Which means, if you rip your collection to your computer and then upload to any of the various portable music players or backup to a CD you are performing an illegal copyright act. This is under the strictest interpretation of U.S. copyright law. There are exceptions such as iTunes, which encourages you to make as many custom CDs as you'd like - as long as the playlist changes.

RFID Music Player
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music
Dividuum at blOrg has found a way to use RFID tags with a reader to store and play back music. SID-files are stored on RFID tags. When you put the tag near the reader, the music is played on the stereo. A stack of tags placed near the reader will act as a playlist. Remove one of the playing tag, and the program will play the next SID-File in the stack. This could be the most awkward way of listening to music ever… but a great use of technology.

DIY Microphone Pop Screen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music
It's always a great joy to mod things for no real reason other than to be able to prove to yourself that you could do it. It's even better when the mod actually has a purpose, and can save you some serious cash at the same time. A perfect example of this is Jake Ludington's homemade microphone pop screen. You see, when talking into a mic, the p's and b's can sometimes spike the audio signal which distorts the sound. A pop screen solves this problem, as it absorbs whatever it is that causes that spike in the first place. I have casually shopped for pop screens before, and they aren't cheap. That is what makes Jake's so appealing. All you need is a 6" embroidery hoop, generic pantyhose, 1/2-inch split flex tubing, 2 feet 10-2 wire, 7.5" black zip ties, 1 1/4" compression fitting (from plumbing), and a 1" spring clamp. Get all this together, and it will cost less than ten bucks. Full assembly instructions at Jake's site.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Music, Product Reviews
We have a schizophrenic Playlist this time, with rappers and beach bums, with soul singers and pop bands. 50 Cent is back, as is Jack Johnson, both trying to improve over their last successful releases. Sage Francis furthers the cause of underground hip-hop, and Sam Cooke is our collection essential, putting a little soul in this dreary winter. Enjoy the Playlist, and let me know what you think in our forums or by emailing me.

XM To Raise Monthly Fee
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Music
XM has announced a price increase for their satellite radio service effective April 2, 2005. The increase will raise the now current rate for their basic service of $9.95, to $12.95 per month. They are also going to include two premium services free of charge. Those two premium services are XM's online radio access, and the show "High Voltage". These two services are currently offered at a price of $3.95 and $1.95 respectively. What seems to be a good deal deserves a second look. Sirius, XM's competitor, offers online satellite radio free of charge on its basic plan of $12.95 and states it will allow subscribers to listen to Howard Stern free of charge when his program launches next year. If you are a current subscriber, you may lock in the rate of $9.95 for the next 5 years. Now that these two services will be the same price, the decision on what service to purchase will be based on what truly matters – hardware price and quality. Expect to see hardware price cuts in the coming months.

Looking At Napster To Go
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video
You know, I have been playing around with Napster To Go for about a day or so, and I must say it is growing on me. The interface could use a little work, but the fact that I can pull up and listen to just about any song at any time is the real draw (and, the point actually) of Napster To Go. You can queue music up to play tracks one after another, or download the music to be transferred to a portable audio device. The price here is very minimal as well - you pay less for Napster To Go than you would buying one CD per month. I am going to continue messing around with it, and let you know what I think after the trial is over.
Is AllOfMP3 Going Down?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet, Music
Well, we knew it was inevitable. It appears that one of my personal favorites sites on the internet, AllOfMP3.com, may finally be in a position to be shut down. While many figured what they were doing was okay by Russian standards, our friends in the Russian police force felt otherwise. Now they are under criminal copyright investigation due to their pay-per-megabyte music model. Say it ain't so! Hey, as long as they leave MP3Search alone, I'm good.

Leviton LE&AP Competes With Microsoft For Media Control
Posted by Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet, Movies, Music
I know structured wiring and home automation aren't exactly at the tip of your tongue. All I can say is that it will be. If you want to be able to integrate all of your high tech audio and video toys with your home entertainment systems, and build them into multi room designs, you will need both home automation and structured wiring. The reason I mention this is that Leviton has announced that it is releasing the LE&AP, a multimedia hard drive distribution unit for its structured wiring enclosures. With a Linux based operating system, the LE&AP allows you to distribute your digital music and videos across multiple platforms. Send your MP3's to your stereo and your digital videos and digital camera images to the televisions. The distribution unit will also share out your broadband connection. I'm an MCSE and I'm going to be looking at this way before I look at mounting a computer with windows media system loaded on it.
This is an 8-zone commercial grade gateway and firewall, with 4 USB expansion ports, and a 120 GB internal drive. It can be upgraded to larger storage capacity as well as software upgrades. From the looks of the system eventually it will integrate with your security and home control devices as well.
With basic audio and video connections as well as advanced digital connections, the unit connects to your TV or stereo and uses your home network for communications. With the remote and some easy to use menus on the TV homeowners can browse and select all of their audio, video and photo storage.

One of the most frustrating things about golf, inconsistency. One swing and the ball is right down the middle, the next you're over in the woods.
You can guess, there must be something wrong with my swing, but what is it?
This week we talked with PGA Certified Head Professional Matt Cook from Rose Creek Golf Course in Fargo about using the Shadow Drill to check your swing.
All you need is a couple golf clubs and the sun.
Check out the video for the full lesson.
If you're looking for more ways to improve your game Matt also offers one-on-one lessons.

Haircuts for a cause
Sep 5, 2013
News-Register Staff
Not only is Lomantini planning to visit all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii, he's planning to do haircuts at 50 salons in the 50 different states in 50 days.
He launched his tour Aug. 1 in Augusta, Maine. He plans to wrap it up Sept. 19 in Wichita, Kan.
Locally, haircuts are being offered in exchange for a donation of an least $20 to Yamhill County Dog Control. Vendors will maintain booths in association with the cause and a trio of raffles will be held.
The tour is being sponsored by BarkAID. It was founded by Lomantini, owner of Lomantini the Salon in Wichita, to raise money and awareness for homeless animals.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred. They can be made by calling Diane Welch at 503-560-4669.

Responsive Web Design Frameworks
Reading Responsive Web Design by Ethan Marcotte right now and it is a very fascinating book. Shapes the way I am looking at building websites now and a more fluid and adaptive sense to allow for universal access on every mobile and desktop device. What I find interesting is that it is a "mobile first" design approach, meaning the mobile framework can often times be built first for a robust and responsive web design.
Does anybody have any recommendations on a good responsive design framework to work with? And are there better alternatives to respond.js for IE6 or is this the best @media-query fix to go with? I think those are the only questions that I have right now but I may have more as time goes on.
Thanks,"To make an apple pie from scratch,

Responsive web design frameworks are the latest trend in website design and development. It is the way to attract visitors to the website and currently a designer suggests the use of responsive web design for website development. This is because Responsive website design is the latest technique for website development that's support all screens. That's mean the grid and units are automatically resized as per the screen size. You can get the more information about the responsive web design frameworks from the below links : designwebkit.com/web-and-trends/responsive-web-design-interactive-infographics/, designwebkit.com/web-and-trends/responsive-web-design-frameworks-lazy-savvy-developers/

i got this Bolens M455-01 sulky for my wifes 15F tractor this weekend while i was out getting the cart and trading for some other tidbits. Looks real nice and i shouldnt have to repaint it.
Re: bolens sulky
now you need to add electric start to the tractor for her and she can ride around making sure you are doing things right.

Re: bolens sulky
yep thats all i need. She did go to the auction and buy the 15F by herself and has amassed several of the 111 attachments the book says one could own them. She has another sulky but that model doesnt have any brake unit on it, like this one does.
Dont think i ever saw a 3hp engine with an el starter unit but wouldnt think it be difficult to rig one up.

Both T.J. Dillashaw and Mike Easton entered tonight's (Wed., Jan. 15, 2014) UFC Fight Night 35: "Rockhold vs. Philippou" event from the Arena at Gwinnet Center in Duluth, Georgia, on Fox Sports 1 off split decision losses, two in a row in the case of the latter.
Time to get back on the hog.
Straight from the outset it looked clear that Dillashaw had superior striking, grappling, and he wanted it more. He battered "The Hulk" early, and by the middle of the second had opened a cut near Easton's eye. He was relentless in his attack, stayed poised despite the variance in offense offered by his opponent.
You know, like spinning kicks that kept spinning. T.J.'s answer? A knee to the face.
Knowing he needed a finish in the final frame caused Easton to up his offensive output but Dillashaw refused to go into cruise control and maintained his dominance of the bout.
By the time they got to the scorecards, the outcome was clear.
Final scores: 30-27 across the board.
