June 29, 2015 — We at the Miami Valley Fair Housing Center offer our congratulations to Keenya J. Robertson, President/CEO of Housing Opportunities Project for Excellence, Inc. (HOPE),
as the chair of the board of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA).
Ms. Robertson has been an advocate for fair housing and civil rights since 1994. In addition to working at HOPE—a private non-profit fair housing organization fighting housing discrimination in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida—and in addition to serving on NFHA's board, Ms. Robertson serves on the South Florida Community Development Coalition's board, the Fair Housing/Fair Lending Litigation Reporter's advisory board, the City of Miami Gardens Affordable Housing Committee, and the Miami-Dade County Housing Civil Rights Oversight Board.
Prior to her tenure at HOPE, Ms. Robertson was a staff attorney for the Georgia Advocacy Office's Protection and Advocacy for Individual Rights program, and she was the Project Director and Attorney for Metro Fair Housing Services in Atlanta. She is a graduate of Florida State University and the Louisiana State University Law Center.
Ms. Robertson succeeds MVFHC President/CEO Jim McCarthy who just completed his nineth term as NFHA board chair. Mr. McCarthy, who will continue to serve on NFHA's board as immediate past chair, said, "Keenya is a woman dedicated to protecting the rights of everyone to have equal housing opportunity. She's proven her effectiveness, and I look forward to continuing to work with her as she leads NFHA forward."
June 23, 2015 — Today U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH)—ranking member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs—called on federal
Read the senators' letter.
regulators to investigate reports of disparities between the way financial institutions manage and market foreclosed homes in communities of color compared to predominantly-white neighborhoods.
Brown joined more than a dozen senators in a letter urging the nation's top financial, housing, and consumer protection regulators to examine allegations that bank-owned properties in white neighborhoods are better maintained and marketed than those in African-American and Latino neighborhoods. In the letter, the senators ask the regulators to take appropriate actions to stop any unequal treatment and violations of the Fair Housing Act.
"The same communities of color who were victimized by predatory lending may now be facing the double whammy of racial bias when it comes to the upkeep of foreclosed homes," said Brown. "This is a problem that pushes down property values and erodes the quality of life in these communities. Federal agencies should ensure that the financial institutions managing these foreclosed properties use the same maintenance and marketing standards regardless of the race, color, or ethnicity of the homeowners who live in the neighborhood."
The senators pointed to a report by the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) detailing racial disparities in the upkeep and marketing of more than 2,400 Real Estate Owned (REO) homes—that is, bank-owned foreclosed properties—in 29 major metropolitan areas nationwide. Among other discrepancies, NFHA found that bank-owned properties in minority communities in the Dayton area were 2.9 times more likely to have utilities that were exposed or tampered with than properties in comparable, predominantly-white communities.
May 13, 2015 — Today the Miami Valley Fair Housing Center (MVFHC) together with the National Fair Housing Alliance and other private fair housing organizations across the United States accused the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) of racial discrimination. In a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) the civil rights groups allege that Fannie Mae fails to maintain and market bank-owned foreclosures (also known as real estate owned or REO properties) in African American and Latino neighborhoods to the same standard as in White neighborhoods, a practice that violates the federal Fair Housing Act.
View a PowerPoint aboutthe investigation against Fannie Mae.
"Fannie Mae was put on notice in 2009 about its failure to appropriately maintain and market its foreclosures in neighborhoods of color," said Jim McCarthy, MVFHC's President/CEO. "The foreclosure crisis hit these middle and working class communities the hardest, and what we're now seeing is an illegal pattern of neglect that creates health and safety hazards for neighbors, lowers property values, and contributes to blight in the community."
McCarthy was one of several advocates from across the country who traveled to Washington, DC today to participate in the national news conference, held at the National Press Club, to announce the complaint.
The fair housing organizations investigated the maintenance and marketing of bank-owned foreclosures for 39 different types of deficiencies, including: broken windows and doors, broken and obstructed gutters and downspouts, accumulated trash, overgrown lawns and shrubs, missing "for sale" signs, and other issues that affect curb appeal, the security of the home, and the value of the property.
"Fannie Mae is liable for the differences in treatment between white neighborhoods and Latino and African American neighborhoods," said Shanna Smith, President/CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA), based in Washington, DC. "Despite NFHA's efforts since 2009, including filing complaints against Fannie's Field Service Vendors, we've seen no improvement in the maintenance and marketing of these Fannie Mae properties," Smith continued. "Instead, Fannie Mae rewarded the same vendors who were failing to appropriately maintain and market properties with additional contracts and new contracts for clear boarding."
MVFHC's investigation of Fannie Mae-owned properties examined 71 REO properties. Of these REO properties, 26 were in predominantly African American communities, one was located in a predominantly non-White community; and 44 were located in predominantly White communities. MVFHC's investigation found that:
REO properties in communities of color were far more likely to have certain types of deficiencies or problems than REO properties in White communities. Nationally, MVFHC and its partners found significant racial disparities in the majority of the objective factors measured in their investigations:
The Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or familial status, as well as on the race or national origin of residents of a neighborhood. This law applies to housing and housing-related activities, which include the maintenance, appraisal, listing, marketing, and selling of homes.
MVFHC and its partner civil rights groups have filed similar actions against Bank of America, US Bank, and Deutsche Bank as well as some of these banks' field service vendors.
"We want to stop the downward spiral that middle and working class neighborhoods of color are caught in," said McCarthy. "Not only do we want Fannie Mae to improve and appropriately maintain and market their REO properties, but we also want money from Fannie Mae to begin to stabilize these communities and rectify some of the damage caused by Fannie Mae's failures. We want to use money to provide grants and other support to people buying REOs or other homes in neighborhoods, building more diverse and inclusive communities."
May 6, 2015 — Gustavo Velasquez, HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, spoke yesterday at the Ohio Statehouse about the problems that proposed Senate Bill 134 would present to fair housing in Ohio.
The assistant secretary, speaking to the Ohio Latino Affairs Commission on Hispanic Legislative Day, warned that the changes proposed in SB 134 "could undermine our efforts to protect the housing rights of all Ohio residents."
Assistant Secretary Velasquez said, "The senator who sponsored the bill claims that SB 134 and now its companion bill HB 149 would conform Ohio fair housing laws to federal standards."
"But the fact of the matter," continued Assistant Secretary Velasquez, "is that limiting certain civil penalties, allowing respondents to recover attorneys' fees in certain instances, and exempting certain landlords from the housing provisions of the Ohio civil rights law would have the opposite effect of the sponsor's intentions, forcing landlords and tenants to more expensive and complex channels to process discrimination complaints, both administratively and in court."
The assistant secretary urged people to look closely at SB 134 and to speak out against it.

says "Sell". ONe reason was the lack of interest in the stock! I agree, very few shares being traded..His point is that if you had invested elsewhere you would far ahead of game than holding to this stock..I am not a Cramer fan, but his points may have some validity..
Sentiment: Strong Buy
If Cramer happens to get something right it is simply plain lucky. He goes through so many stocks and is manic in his pronouncements, either "sell or buy" based on whatever strikes his politically correct fancy. It has been said countless times that to listen to him will endanger your portfolio and financial well being. This is a simple truth: Cramer is a media hoe.
Remember his screaming buy for Facebook prior to it's IPO. Remember his touting of Apple to $1000. Arch Coal, Ultra Petroleum. Good gracious, Aubrey McClendon of Chesapeake. Geeze, Cramer couldn't stick his nose up Aubrey's brown eye far enough......
They used to say things go better with Coke. I'd say, Cramer took that Ad slogan hook line and sinker, and is living the consequences of his lifestyle now, with his constant shouting for attention and acknowledgement.

PRINCETON, N.J. — A county Superior Court judge ruled Princeton University was within its rights to move the Dinky station approximately 500 feet south because it had received the necessary approvals from NJ Transit, according to the Princeton Patch.
University officials announced plans to move the station south to make room for its now-under-construction Arts & Transit Neighborhood. Members of Princeton's "Save the Dinky," a local grassroots organization, filed suit in October of 2011 against Princeton University, the Trustees of Princeton University and NJ Transit, claiming there was no legal basis to move the train station and seeking a court judgment to stop it. For the full story, click here.
The proposed rule would establish minimum performance standards, a new pass-fail grading system for bus testing and a weighted scoring process that would better assist local transit agencies in purchasing an appropriate vehicle.
Ensured that it will be an equal-funding partner in major transit projects by committing itself to a federal contribution limit of 33% for the Public Transit Fund. Also announced was a subsequent increase in the contribution limit to the P3 Canada Fund from 25% to 33%.
The bill, which Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law on May 20, appears to block traditional cab services from incorporating app-based hailing of cabs into their business models and also sets up insurance requirements.
The challenge, spearheaded by the advocacy group San Francisco Transit Riders, will continue until June 22 and aims to help city officials gain familiarity with public transit and inspire them to improve the experience.
If the FTA determines within the next several weeks that the 5000-series, which were purchased using federal funds, should not be retired so soon, WMATA probably will forgo purchasing the 220 new 7000-series cars.

For the last dance I wore a tank dress and it was really cute! But I don't have any more similar dresses and I have no idea what to do!!

ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,344,951 EJECTION PILL DISPENSER WITH INDICATING MEANS Norman A. Gervais, Salem, Va., assignor to Creative Packaging Incorporated Filed Apr. 18, 1966, Ser. No. 543,392 7 Claims. (Cl. 221-7) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A refillable dispenser for pills loaded in a stacked, predetermined sequence. Anejector means is positioned in the casing of the dispenser to simultaneously eject the topmost pill and advance a rotary dial bearing a series of indicia.
This invention relates to a pill dispenser and in particular to a pill dispenser having means for automatically indicating the removal of each pill from the dispenser.
In Writing out prescriptions it is generally the practice of physicians to state that a pill should be taken at prescribed intervals. The intervals may be only a matter of hours, or, on the other hand, may be on the basis of one per day, or perhaps one every other'day. In any event, it is essential that the user be able to determine Whether or not he has taken a pill for that interval since it is quite possible that his memory will fail him. Various devices have been contrived in which the user, upon taking a pill from the dispenser or container, will, in a separate physical action, record this fact. For those persons who are always able to remember to make a recording mark or other similar act, such a procedure is sufficient. However, many a person has tended to forget entering on his own personal record the fact that he has taken a pill for a specified day. Thus, he is confronted with the problem of trying to remember whether or not he actually took a pill for that interval.
The pill dispenser of this invention provides for an automatic recording or registering of the fact that the user has taken a pill for the prescribedinterval. Briefly, the pill dispenser and indicator of this invention comprise a relatively small pocket-size dispenser containing a predetermined number of pills to be used over a prescribed period of time. For instance, the dispenser may contain twenty pills with a pill to be taken each successive day. In addition, the pills may be arranged in a predetermined sequence of several types of medicament. The dispenser will assure that one form of medicament is taken before a second form of medicament is taken.
In general, the dispenser comprises a casing with a removable tube containing the pills. An injector means in the casing is depressed each time a pill is to be removed. Upon fully depressing the ejector means, an indicating dial havingcalibrated markings is automatically advanced one increment. Thus, the user need not rely on his own memory to record the fact that he has taken a pill.
The dispenser is of a simplified design in order that it may be readily molded from an inexpensive plastic material. Inasmuch as the expense in producing this dispenser is relatively small, it may be used in place of a conventional bottle or package normally used in selling the pills through a pharmacy. It need not be discarded when the pill supply is exhausted since convenient means is provided for refilling it. The invention disclosed herein differs from other devices used to dispense pills in that a minimum of simplified parts are used, all of which may be easily molded by conventional molding techniques.
Thus, it is one object of this invention to provide a new and improved pill dispenser.
Patented Oct. 3, 1967 Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved pill dispenser having an automatic means for recording the removal of each pill.
Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved pill dispenser containing a tube or cartridge of pills which may be loaded into the dispenser by the user.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be made apparent in the disclosure of the accompanying specification and the drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the pill dispenser of this invention;
FIG..2 is a plan view of the case base and assembled components of the pill dispenser;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 33 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the case cover of the pill dispenser;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the pill dispensers ejector means shown in an extended position;
FIG. 6 is a plantop view of the indicating means for the pill dispenser of this invention illustrating the indicia;
FIG. 7 is a plan bottom view of the indicating means;
FIG. 8 is a side elevation view of the indicating means;
'FIG. 9 is a partial plan view of the case base and assembled components of the pill dispenser with the ejector means depressed;
'a rectangular pill dispenser 11. However, it is to be understood that the principles of this invention can be embodied in other configurations. Referring to FIGS. 2 through 4, the dispenser case is formed from two sec 'tions, a base 13 and a co ver 14. The base which is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is rectangular and has three walls 16, 17 and 18. The wall 16 defines an opening for engaging an ejector means 20 to be subsequently described. An opposite wall section 17 defines a small T-shaped pill exit 22'for ejection of pills 23.
The base 13 and cover 14 may both be formed from a substantially rigid plastic material. On the inner surface of the case base, various supporting elements are formed for maintaining a pill tube 25, the ejectormeans 20, an indicia-bearing dial 26 and several other components in their respective positions. Thus, a longitudinal tube guide 28 is provided in a spaced relationship from base Wall 17. This guide is positioned to permit entry of the tube 25 containing pills through the bottom of the' dispenser. Also extending from the base 13 is an L-shaped ejectorguide 29 which serves to maintain the ejector in its proper position. A spindle hub 30 is provided to support the removable and rotatable dial 26. In the proximity of the hub 30 a slotted holder 31 is formed to support a removable and flexible anti-reverse pawl 32 that cooperates with the dial.
The cover 14 of the case is designed to cooperate with the base 13 to form an enclosure and in many respects is a mirror image of the base. Thus, the cover has a longitudinal tube guide 33 slightly spaced from the tube guide 28 on the base to hold the pill tube 25. Likewise, an L shaped ejector guide 34 is provided on the cover for positioning the ejector means 20. The cover also defines openings 35 and 36 for actuating the ejector means and for exit of pills.
A small spindle 38 extends from the cover into hole 37 of dial 26 and serves to further positively seat the dial.
The base defines a reference means which in the particular illustration comprises an opening or window 39 for viewing one of the indicia 40 on the dial. This reference means 39 may also be in the form of a line or arrow which is positioned to register with one of the indicia on the dial. Although the dial is shown to be fully contained within the case, it may extend through the case and register with a reference point on the case. A thin groove 42 is formed in the edges of the three cover walls 43, 44 and 45 to receive a ridge 47 on the three base walls. An adhesive or other sealing means may be used to hold the ridge 47 and groove 42 in a tight junction.
Referring to FIG. 5, the dispensers ejector means 20 is shown in an extended position illustrating the manner in which it may be molded. The ejector may also be formed from a plastic material but preferably should have some long-lasting resilient properties. A suitable material for forming the ejector is polypropylene. The ejector comprises three main sections 49, 50 and 51 with the two end sections 49 and 51 being dimensioned to fit within the top and bottom of the case. Each of these top and bottom sections 49 and 51 is connected integrally to the middle section by a thin flexible web 53 of plastic material which acts as a hinge. Thus, the two end sections may be formed at right angles with the middle section. The width of the bottom section 51 of the ejector is such that it approximates the space between the case cover and base, thereby completing the enclosure formed between the base and cover. The snug fit of the bottom section between the cover and base provides an efiective latching means. A small projection 54 on this section enables it to be easily opened for gaining access into the joined base and cover.
The middle section 50 has a pair of spaced flanges 55 extending at its upper end which are visible through the opening defined in the case. It is the area between these flanges that serves as an actuating button 57 for the dispenser. Strengthening ribs 58 may be formed on the middle section if desired. The ejector has a substantial amount of resiliency built into it due to the properties of its plastic material and the abovementioned ribs. Consequently, the ejector has a tendency to stabilize in the position illustrated in FIG. 2.
FIG. 9 illustrates the ejector in its depressed position. When pressure is released from the button 57, it will tend to return to the position shown in FIG. 2. However, in order to provide a faster and more positive means for return, a spring 59 may be used to further bias the ejector. Thus, a spring support 60 (FIG. may be formed be tween the two flanges 55 of the middle section. The metal coil spring 59 is positioned over this support and mounted between two pairs of projections 61 on the case base and cover.
The upper section 49 of the ejector has a protective bar 63 which is designed to pass through the pill exit 22. The bar is normally positioned in the pill exit and prevents unwanted entry of foreign particles which might jam the mechanism or contaminate the pills. Extending parallel with this bar is an ejector tang 64 which engages the uppermost pill in the tube when the ejector is depressed.
Referring to FIGS. 6-8, the indicia-bearing dial 26 has a number of ratchet teeth 65 molded at the base of spindle 66. These ratchet teeth cooperate with a drive pawl 68 extending from the ejector means middle section 50. If one pill is to be taken each day, the dial may have seven ratchet teeth. The markings for the seven days of the week which appear on the face of the dial correspond with the seven teeth. If two pills are to be taken each day, fourteen teeth may be employed and the seven-day indicia may include am. and p.m. legends. Pressure pawl 32 stays in constant contact with the ratchet teeth of the dial and prevents movement of the dial in a reverse direction when the ejector means 20 returns to its stable position of FIG. 2.
The dispenser of this invention assures advancement of the dial one increment each time a pill is ejected. De-
pending upon the tolerances maintained in molding the various dispenser components and the resilient qualities of the dispenser material, it may be desirable to add additional means for assuring full depressment of the button 57 and the ejection of a pill prior to the buttons return. One design for such a means comprises a pair of slightly inclined teeth-bearing racks 69 which are formed integrally with the case base and cover as shown in FIGS. 2-4. A pair of flexible anti-return pawls 70 are formed on the pair of flanges on the ejectors middle section. These anti-return pawls 70 have small projections 71 at their ends which track along the racks teeth as the ejector is depressed.
Since the pair of racks 69 are slightly inclined, the cooperating pawls 70 tend to depress downward as their projections 71 advance along the racks. The ejector cannot return to its normal position until it has been depressed a sufficient distance to permit the two projections of the pawls to track beyond the ends of the racks. Once the two projections have passed beyond the racks, they will spring slightly upward and return over the smooth upper edges of the racks. In such a manner, the ejector will always be depressed a suflicient distance, and this, in turn, will assure proper advancement of the dial as well as ejection of a pill.
Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the particular pill tube 25 illustrated is a hollow, transparent and cylindrical tube with a stirrup 73 at one end dimensioned to permit passage of one pill at a time. It is probable that the pill tube would in most instances be produced in one location and then shipped to another location for filling with pills. Thus, means must be provided for permitting the tube to be easily assembled at the second location after it is filled with pills without requiring any special tools. The pills are urged against the tubes stirrup 73 by a biasing means which in the illustrated embodiment comprises a compression spring 74 mounted on a follower 75. The follower has a large knob 76 on one end which is in contact with the bottom-most pill. The other end of the follower has a smaller knob 77 dimensioned to permit forcible passage through an opening 79 in the pill tube cap 80.
As shown in FIG. 11, the follower, when connected to the cap, extends through the opening 79 in the pill tube cap 80 and is held there by the small knob 77. In assembling the tube, pills are first inserted in a stacked relationship and then the assembled follower with spring 74 and tube cap 79 is mounted. The cap is firmly maintained over the open end of the tube by a snap fitting. In what can be a simultaneous action with the placement of the cap, the follower is pushed away from the cap toward the pills by applying force to knob 77. When sufficient pressure is applied, the small knob of the follower is forced through the eaps opening permitting the spring to lengthen itself and urge the followers large knob 76 against the stack of pills. The tube, with its pills stacked and biased against stirrup 73, is now ready to be used.
In most instances the dispenser will be sold to the user with the pill tube containing the pills wrapped in a separate package for maintaining the pills in an air-tight condition. When the user is ready to take the pills he presses the ejector button 57 on the empty dispenser a sufficient number of times to advance the indicator dial 26 to the proper day or hour. He then removes the spring-loaded tube 25 from its package and inserts it into the opening at the bottom of the case. A key flange 81 on one side of the tube assures proper placement of the tube in the case whereby the ejector tang 64 may pass through the tubes stirrup 73. The tube may only be inserted with the key flange 81 registering with a keyway formed by two half slots 82 in the bottom on the cases cover and base. When the tube is fully inserted into the dispenser it is maintained in proper position since the key flange is captured between the two spaced tube guides 28 and 33. After the tube is inserted, the bottom section of the ejector is snapped shut and the dispenser is ready for use.
As shown in FIG. 1, the dispenser is operated by pressing the button 57 of the ejectors middle section. This, in turn, causes forward movement of the ejectors top section 49 and the tang 64 passes through the tubes stirrup 73 to eject a pill 23. Simultaneously with this ejection, the drive pawl 68 advances the dial one increment. (See FIG. 9.) As soon as a pill is ejected, the next pill advances to a position adjacent the pill exit. It is possible that the user will occasionally forget if he has taken a pill. In such an event he merely reads the day of the week appearing in the cover opening 39. If the current day is registered he will know that he has not yet taken a pill.
The vertical portion 83 of the T-shaped opening of the pill exit 22 formed between the base and cover permits the user to view three or four of the pills in the adjacent transparent tube. This serves to give him advance notice as to when the supply of pills in the tube is about to be exhausted. When the last pill is removed, the large ball 76 of the follower becomes aligned with the exit. An inclined surface 84 is provided on this ball to enable the tang to slide over it if the user should press the button. Consequently, the ball 76 does not block movement of the tang and damage thereto is avoided.
It is to be noted that the pills in the tube may comprise two or more medicaments. This enables sequential treatment in that a first medicament may be consumed followed by a second medicament since the pills, once placed in the tube in a predetermined pattern, cannot be varied.
Thus, the pill dispenser of this invention provides automatic recording of each pill removed from the dispenser. In addition, the dispenser enables the user to reload it by simply unlatching the bottom section 51 of the ejector and inserting a new tube filled with pills.
It is to be noted that this dispenser is formed from relatively few parts which are inexpensive to manufacture. With the exception of the compression spring 59, which may or may not be necessary, depending on the resiliency of the material in the ejector, all of the dispensers components are easily molded from a plastic material. Likewise, the tube assembly containing the pills is formed of plastic with the exception of the biasing spring 74 on the follower. Thus, the novel design of this invention leads to mass production by standard plastic injection molding techniques.
Although only one embodiment of this invention has been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other embodiments may be formed without departing from the spirit of this invention and the scope of the appended claims.

Use of staff photographs is frequently advocated as a means of increasing customer confidence in an e-shop. However, these claims are not conceptually or empirically grounded. In this paper we describe a qualitative study, which elicited customer reactions towards an e-commerce site that displayed staff photographs and links to richer media. The results suggest that employing social and affective cues, particularly in the form of photos, can be a risky strategy. To be effective they should be combined with functionality and targeted specifically at the user types we identified.

Stephanie Pilcher can't prepare for her day as supervisor of Columbia County's 311 Customer Service and Information Center other than to get ready for the unexpected.
She jokes with her colleagues about putting on their roller skates to prepare for issues.
"It's different every day," Pilcher said. "It's interesting. It changes. It's never the same. It keeps it fresh."
A new traffic signal is going into use soon on a main Martinez thoroughfare.
The signal on South Belair Road at Colonial Road, in front of the Wal-Mart Marketplace, will begin flashing on Monday, according to a press release from the Georgia Department of Transportation.
The newly-installed signal will be flashing in "test mode" and is expected to be fully operational on Thursday.
The flashing mode is to allow motorists and pedestrians to become aware of the new signal.
The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce recently received a national award for serving military veterans and their families.
The chamber was named a three-star Chamber of Valor by Hiring Our Heroes, an initiative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to help veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses find meaningful employment. The award acknowledges the contributions of local chambers, industry associations and business development organizations that join Hiring Our Heroes mission.
A judge denied bond Thursday for a Martinez woman who was charged with murder in the June 17 death of her 5½-month-old son.
Superior Court Senior Judge William M. Fleming Jr. refused to grant a bond for Lexis Fay Russell, 23, at a hearing in Evans.
"I believe she's a threat to the community and also committing another felony offense," Fleming said.
A Grovetowm man was hospitalized Thursday morning after a car pulled in front of his motorcycle on Washington Road in Evans.
Van Antoine Alexander, 29, of Grovetown, was transported to Doctors Hospital with serious injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, according to Columbia County sheriff's Deputy Keith Warner.
Dennis Trudeau plans to don his "I ♥ Grovetown" hat and sling some barbecue at the city's annual July 4 Celebration.
The barbecue is a gift to the community that the city councilman and former mayor started 28 years ago.
The free event is from noon to 3 p.m., or until the barbecue runs out, at Liberty park Community Center on Newmantown Road. The meal is free, but take-out plates cost $5.
"We have a good time," Trudeau said.
Though as many as 3,000 people celebrate at the event, Trudeau said it came out of a trying time in the city.
July 4 celebrations will likely be a little more festive this year because the sale and use of fireworks in Georgia is legal.
Gov. Nathan Deal signed a bill on May 5 that allows for the sale and regulation of consumer fireworks statewide.
The new law went into effect today. Buyers must be at least 18.
Columbia County will be celebrating the July 4 holiday with fun and fireworks.
The 21st annual Fourth of July Celebration will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday at Evans Towne Center Park. The evening will end with a patriotic fireworks display.
"We have an incredible fireworks show," said county Community Events Specialist Virginia Atkins. "It starts right at dark."
An afternoon of family activities and entertainment leads up to the fireworks.
As temperatures crawl into the triple digits approaching July 4, it's likely that residents will flock to area water holes for the holiday weekend.
Celebrating near the water provides a respite from the heat, but vigilance is needed to stay safe in pools and lakes.
"That is the very most important thing," said Amy Ristroph, co-owner of Dolphin Academy Swim School in Evans.
The word interim was removed from Scott Wheatley's job title with the Grovetown Department of Public Safety.
City officials named Wheatley, who served as the interim director of the department, as its permanent leader on Thursday.
"It's exciting," Wheatley said.
Wheatley was named to lead the department temporarily on April 28 after former Chief Gary Jones was terminated.
Mayor George James said that the interviewing panel chose Wheatley out of those who applied for the position and the city council members agreed.

The Valley Advocate just published an excellent article about Vladislav Bajac, author of Hamam Balkania and director of Geopoetika, a most amazing Serbian publishing house. In addition to publishing the best of the best of world literature, Geopoetika is also the home to SPIT (Sebian Prose in Translation), a new government-funded program to translated Sebian works into English and find publishers around the world to bring out these books in their respective countries.
(For more info, you can check out this post about the launch of the series. And for first hand knowledge of the awesomeness of the SPIT lit, buy The Cyclist Conspiracy by Svetislav Basara.)
Drew Adamek's profile of Bajac is wonderful, and worth reading in its entirety. Below are a few interesting excepts:
SPIT is an attempt to introduce the English-speaking world to Serbian literature. Supported in part by the Serbian Ministry of Culture, Bajac hopes to expose the global literary community to the challenging and innovative literature being produced by Serbian authors by publishing five translated selections of Serbian literature in English-speaking countries each year. The goal is to showcase the diversity and quality of Serbian authors, and for Serbian writers to become part of the global literary conversation. The first book to hit the American market will be Hamam Balkania, available in March, 2012.
SPIT faces many road blocks to entering English-speaking markets: media coverage of the 1990s wars damaged Serbia's international reputation, sufficient funding is always a challenge and the works are not intended to be the type of blockbuster popular fiction that dominates so much of today's publishing industry. Perhaps most daunting, not just for SPIT but international literature as a whole, is that only 3% of the books published annually in English are translated from a foreign language, according to the University of Rochester Three Percent Blog. [. . .]
Q: You took some very bold narrative risks in your most recent novel, Hamam Balkania. You write at the beginning of the book that you are pursuing the question of identity and you use both present and past-tense, first person and third person narrative voices, as well as dual storylines—one set in the present and one set in 1500s Ottoman empire—to find answers. How did you come to weave such a complicated story to answer such a difficult question?
A: I was very aware of the risky path I wanted to go. In the book, I am talking about exploring the ideas of spreading identity and of mixing cultures. I asked myself what would happen if I could put in one novel, very literally, the historical side of the story and the present side of the story. I wanted to say that there are different ways to show the issue of identity and mixing cultures. It sounds like it could be a very kind of artificial work but I said okay, I'll take a risk.
I always tried to write on the issue of identity by showing one person going his own way but this book is connected to many more historical characters and living persons. I used historical persons as examples that living within two cultures or religions was possible. I wanted to say that this is the proof; they lived that life.
But the contemporary side of the book was a way of saying that this issue is still there- everywhere, absolutely everywhere. What is the conclusion? I don't know the answer, but I wanted to make it a part of the game.
This risky way was a bit brave because it included other difficult issues as well: addressing the very negative myths about Serbs who became Muslim [during the Ottoman Empire]. There is this idea that they are traitorous, for example. It is still a big issue in the Balkans, in the Ex-Yu, in Serbia today.
I think I reached something that I have never reached before in any book I wrote. However, the book is not only written by the author, it is written by the reader as well. You can't say that you've finished the writing of the book until it is read well.
The consequences of those ideas are still unknown to me, which I like. [. . .]
Q: What is the philosophical idea behind the SPIT (Serbian Prose in Translation) Program? How did you decide which books to include?
A: We started this with the very humble idea of "let's try to show what we have." And if we have any reactions from the world, we will be more objective in understanding our own literature. That's a question not only on the quality of our literature but of our identity as well. Until we compare ourselves with others we do not know who we are.
We choose primarily the books that we think are good literature. Then again, we choose books as different from each other as much as possible to show a wide cross section of Serbian literature.
What we've come to understand from SPIT is this: not that we are one of the best literary nations in the world but that we are interesting enough. The positive critical reaction to the styles and the poetics among Serbian authors shows not only that we are different within the larger literary world, but also that we are different among each other. You have nations whose literature is all very similar. Okay, it's dangerous to generalize but you know what I mean.
This is not the case with our literature; diversity is the main characteristic of literature in Serbia. We still have more books to show the world, even though this is a small country, with a small number of people. We feel that we are equal to other cultural nations, including the United States. That's why our work must be shown to the world.
I am not talking about getting famous bestsellers; that is an entirely different kind of writing. But we have to try to get into these markets because our so-called "heavy mental" literature deserves to be read as well. The financial mathematics might not be there but the numbers of readers are.
The literal meaning of the word SPIT is a joke too. It's like being named an ambassador. You never know when a politician says to someone, I am going to make you an ambassador, is it a praise or is it a punishment? Because it sounds like praise, but then again, it says I don't want to see you around here. You are expelled from the country, kind of in a nice way. So SPIT is in the very same way a joke in that, "these are the authors we spit out."

My Mum and I really enjoyed this tour.The tour guide spent the first hour of the bus ride giving us information about the areas we were passing which was great.
Capri was beautiful. The blue grotto breath taking, I was only disappointed i didn't bring swimmers as some people jumped out of the boats.
I'm not one for group lunches but the lunch at the restaurant included in the tour was really good.
One more hr in capri would have been good as you could trolly only fit in the ride to the top or the town. But I guess its just a taste of Capri so you know weather its some where you would like to return.
Its a very long day but I would defiantly recommend it.

Court: Police don't have to prove K-9 training
Police do not have to extensively document a drug-sniffing dog's reliability in the field to uphold its work in court
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court says police do not have to extensively document a drug-sniffing dog's reliability in the field to uphold its work in court.
The high court in a unanimous decision Tuesday overturned the Florida Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Aldo, a drug-sniffing police dog.
That lower court threw out drug evidence obtained against Clayton Harris during a 2006 traffic stop. Aldo alerted his officer to drugs used to make methamphetamine inside a truck. But two months later, Harris was stopped again, Aldo again alerted his officer to the presence of drugs but none were found.
The Florida court said in every case police have to bring records, including a log of performance in the field, to establish the dog's reliability in court. The Supreme Court overturned that ruling.

Building efficient websites with AJAX
Breezy Browsing
Books were the original model for website design. Navigation was similar to flipping the pages. Thanks to AJAX, many state-of-the-art websites now behave like desktop applications.
The standards for an impressive Internet presentation have changed substantially since Tim Berners-Lee created the first web pages. Internet sites increasingly remind the surfer of interactive desktop applications rather than printed material. AJAX is a technology based on JavaScript that adds convenience, with pull-down menus, sortable tables, and interactive input pages. The main improvement is the absence of delays typically experienced while pages reloaded.
Long Way
Before rendering a website, the browser and web server go through a number of steps (Figure 1):
- The browser sends a page request to a web server.
- The server processes the request and serves up the HTML text and images. This might take a couple of seconds if the load is heavy. The network transmission speed decides how fast the content is delivered. The required time is still noticeable on fast intranets, however.
- Finally, the browser reads the response and displays the page. The same sequence is repeated for each image before the browser can render the final version of the page.
All told, these three steps typically take several seconds. In case of HTML pages without AJAX technology the steps are repeated for even the tiniest of changes.
In contrast to rich client applications, this considerably affects the user experience: Menus that drop down without a delay, point and click sorting in tables, or drag and drop are not easily implemented because of time-consuming page reloads. HTML pages that offer these kinds of features need to be autonomous, like local programs; that is, you should not need to rely on a server connection.
Removing Time-Consuming Requests
To improve the user experience, more and more web applications are starting to process user input directly browser-side and to do without time-consuming server requests.
Other solutions, with the exception of the relatively widespread Java plugin, have been unable to achieve similar multi-platform success. Flash and JavaScript adopt completely different approaches.
The proprietary Flash plugin executes binary Flash applications in the browser. The plugin is embedded in the web page very much like a bitmap image, except that it offers the user an interactive interface. The Flash plugin has excellent graphics capabilities with virtually no restrictions on the developers' creativity. However, for lack of equivalent open source alternatives, there is virtually no alternative to the Adobe tools.

Jennifer Garner wants to use her fame to do as much charity work as possible and make a positive difference in the world.
Jennifer Garner wants to use her fame to make a positive difference in the world.
The actress - who is married to Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck - accepts her celebrity status and the attention that goes with it and she is determined to use her profile to help charities and do good deeds.
She said: "My view on fame? In the film business, you have perks beyond your dreams. You can make a sick child smile and raise money for charity, just by being well known ... I also strongly believe in treating people well, whatever their job and whatever happens. I think good manners are important."
Jennifer - who has two daughters, six-year-old Violet and three-year-old Seraphina, with Ben - accepts there are negative aspects to being an actress but she insists The Benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
The 39-year-old star - who is currently pregnant - added: "The flipside is that you can lose the illusion of having a private and personal life and your family is intruded upon. But don't complain - the good outweighs the bad."
