inside. Police say they later found the truck, but the gun was missing.
Allgood was serving a 30-year sentence at the West Kentucky
Correctional Complex on convictions from Hardin and Breckinridge
counties for criminal possession of a forged instrument, theft by unlawful taking, burglary and receiving stolen property.
Allgood is described as a white male, 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds. He has light brown hair, hazel eyes and faded tattoos on the back of his left hand.
Anyone with information is asked to called state police.

Arrium Rejects Posco, Noble Consortium…Again
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Subscriber Content Read Preview
After Arrium Ltd. spurned a revised offer from a consortium that includes South Korean steel producer Posco and commodities trader Noble Group Ltd. that valued the Australian iron ore and steel producer at roughly 1.19 billion Australian dollars (US$1.24 billion), analysts and investors began wondering how the situation could play out.
The stock rose as much as 6.3% to 85 cents a share before quickly retreating to 80.5 cents a share, below the Steelmakers Australia consortium's sweetened 88 cents a share offer, implying shareholders aren't overly confident the bid will be sweetened a third time. The new offer is 17.3% higher than the 75 cents a share proposal made at the beginning of October.

I'm not a financial expert. I don't claim to know it all. In fact, I know I don't know it all.
I'm young, but I'm not ignorant. I look around at friends and peers who don't understand anything about money management, and I fear for their futures, for the future of our country.
How can we expect to be a fiscally responsible nation if we can't be fiscally responsible on a personal level? This year alone, we, as Americans, are projected to incur $43.5 billion in credit card debt.
Some would say I need to live many more years before I'm able to fully understand financial issues that I may have to face and that our country is facing. I acknowledge the truth in that, but on the whole, the "we'll teach them later" or "they'll understand later" mindset, to me, is exactly what has our youth in great danger of slipping into the already too common financial free-fall - a nearly $44 billion free-fall.
Young people need to be taught financial best practices early in life so they can grow into responsible money-managing adults.
I don't mean to sell my peers and fellow young people short. It's not that we're not capable of managing money and understanding the importance of keeping our finances in order; it's that we live in a spend-happy society. Most young people don't think twice about buying the newest smart phone, having the fanciest TV or taking the most costly vacation. We feel like we're entitled to these things. Unless someone tells us we're not, and soon, we're doomed.
When I was in college, I searched in vain for a personal finance class. Anything remotely close to what I was looking for was lodged in the School of Business, a curriculum I was not privy to as a student in the College of Letters and Science. Thank goodness my parents taught me some sound financial lessons: Don't spend what you don't have, and if you save now, you'll be happy later. As a result, I knew how to make my credit card work for me, and I could always balance my checkbook.
My husband recently was selected to teach a "class" about money management to his platoon of Marines. These guys are not unintelligent; all of them have a four-year degree from reputable universities across the country. But, they could never understand why we only go out to eat once a month. They're confused as to why we pay off our entire credit card bill as opposed to just making the minimum payment. Many of them took the entire military starter loan - $25,000 - to purchase a brand new car.
However, when my husband showed them the real cost of financing anything, especially with credit cards, they were shocked. When he explained an investing chart that displayed the amount of money they could save by the time they retired if they started saving now - in their 20s - their jaws dropped.
Compounding interest is a powerful thing, and for the first time, they saw that savings and investments aren't just for millionaires. They, too, could save - on a second lieutenant's salary - if they adopted a "saving" mentality.
My husband was late coming home that day because so many guys wanted to talk to him about how they could set up a reasonable budget and start saving. People who had never heard of a Roth IRA wanted to know the fastest way to open one.
And now we joke that if a platoon of Marines can be excited about finances, anyone can.
After all, it's cool to be frugal. Many young people would think so if they only had it explained to them.
People can't practice what they don't know. Young people can be taught, either in school or at home, that being financially responsible does not limit a good time. Rather, it encourages it.
Why? Because you can have that good time knowing you've first met all your financial obligations. I like to think of it as a higher quality of fun.
So here's to educating our youth about finance. And then, maybe, getting them elected to Congress.

West Virginia's Kevin Jones, right, of Mount Vernon and Gary Browne celebrate during the second half of a victory over Cincinnati on Saturday.

For three weeks last spring, Kevin Jones was the gawky teenage boy chasing the most popular girl in school. He flirted and flirted, only to have his advances met with rejection.
Following his junior season at West Virginia, the Mount Vernon product declared for the NBA Draft last April only to withdraw after a workout with the Nets in early May. Jones soon realized that in order for pro teams to believe in him, he first had to believe in himself.
The 6-foot-8 senior is now the only Division I player in the country to rank among the Top 10 in scoring and rebounding, and - with his team a surprising 15-5 - ...

Intro: How does your emergency savings stack up against the amount of credit card debt you may have? That is the question Bankrate.com asked consumers in conjunction with February's Financial Security Index and here with details is Greg McBride, senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com.
So Greg, what did Bankrate.com find?
Greg: Lucas, despite consumers' efforts to pay down debt, the amount of credit card debt in relation to the emergency savings they have really hasn't changed all that much in the past 2 years. Currently, just 55% of Americans have more in emergency savings than in credit card debt and about 1-in-4 has more credit card debt than emergency savings. Those numbers are little changed from each of the past 2 years.
Last month we saw a big increase in the Financial Security Index, but you cautioned that it might not last. What did we see this month?
Greg: The Financial Security Index did drop, from 98.6 to 96.8, surrendering most of the improvement we had seen in January. Readings on 4 of the 5 components – job security, savings, debt, and overall financial situation – all declined from one month ago and each shows that consumers feel deterioration over the past 12 months.
You mentioned that 4 of the 5 components declined. What is the one area that did improve?
Greg: Thanks to rebounding home prices and the buoyant stock market, net worth was the only component to show improvement from last month. What's more, is that net worth is also the only component where more Americans report feeling that things are better rather than worse compared to one year ago.
Thanks Greg. For more information on this month's Financial Security Index and to see how you stack up to other Americans, visit our website, Bankrate.com. I'm Lucas Wysocki.

Utah wildfires: Crews contain two stubborn blazes
Both a stubborn Wasatch County wildfire and a grudgingly surrendering blaze in Utah County are now fully contained.
Crews declared full containment Wednesday night for the 244-acre Whiskey Wildfire, as crews closed lines around the flames that were first spotted in pinyon, juniper and oak southeast of Heber on Sunday.
The newly remapped 1,860-acre Red Ledges Wildfire, in Utah County, had been tamed considerably by cooler temperatures and high humidity from a thunderstorm system that moved into the state at mid-week, said Fire Information Officer Kim Osborn. By Thursday night, it too was fully contained.
About 275 firefighters, aided by water-bearing helicopters and fire-retardant-laden air tankers, worked to close fire lines and douse any flare-ups or remaining hot spots on Thursday.
The human-caused Red Ledges fire, has been burning about four miles northeast of Diamond Fork Campgrounds and on the west side of Diamond Fork Canyon since Sunday.

Before we get into the White Christmas Forecast we have plenty of other things going on this week. Several waves of RAIN showers will move across Kentucky in the coming days. Keeping things extremely wet leading into Christmas.
Average highs for this part of December are usually in the mid 40s. We beat that all to pieces on Monday with highs in the low and mid 50s. It only gets warmer as we head through the week. we might even see thermometers max out in the low 60s in some spots.
Totals look to stay around the 1" to even possibly 2" in isolated areas from Tuesday until Friday. Not a big time amount of rain... but still messy!
Now... let's look at hisotric chances of a White Christmas and NOAA's official definition. I think I have included this is my posts in year's past... but it's always good to show a refresher!
A White Christmas (as defined by the National Climatic Data Center) is one with an inch or more of snow on the ground at 6 A.M. The official snow depth is taken once each day at 6 A.M. CST.
Now that's how the nation's weather record keepers define it... I think just having some flying and a little on the ground qualifys too! MY OPINION!!!!!
As we head into this weekend I really think that we'll see at least some flying around in the air. There is some uncertainties with this forecast. It has potential! I'll let you know more each day!

Undeniably, the most vital gasket you will discover in your car would be the Chevrolet Blazer cylinder head gasket. Mounted in the middle of your car's cylinder heads and engine block, you'll discover the cylinder head gasket. As the most hard-wearing gasket, it carries the load of having to supply essentially the most critical sealing application found in the engine of your Chevrolet Blazer; this is certainly caused by a number of grounds.
The Chevrolet Blazer cylinder head gasket is there in order that your cylinders are working with the highest compression; furthermore, it prevents the leakage of engine oil, coolant, and other such dangerous materials and substances in to the cylinders. Should coolant and water be allowed to seep or leak in to the cylinders of your Chevrolet Blazer, steam shall be produced by the exhaust, inducing possibly irrevocable ruin to the catalytic converter and also the cylinders themselves. Allow your vehicle to function with a worn out cylinder head gasket and you'll encounter loss of power and rough engine running; it's because compression is compromised. At its most terrible, an unfit gasket will cause insanely-high engine temperatures, inevitably bringing about complete and total engine crash, in case you leave the problem uncontrolled.
Should you be searching for a Chevrolet Blazer cylinder head gasket of unbeatable excellence, you will see that we are selling it right here on Parts Train; here, you can purchase a head gasket from Replacement, Elwis, APEX, and other such time-tested names, all at the cheapest possible prices-for your shopping pleasure.

For the gambler in you, Week 8
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Each Saturday, we'll take the best -- and most clever -- odds collected by bodog.com for the upcoming week and give our take. This is important stuff, perhaps the most important post you'll read all week. Because if you can't lose money while watching a game in which you have absolutely no effect, what's the point of watching sports at all?
FYI, Tim Tebow, a leader of men, had a big impact on Bodog's business last week. For good and for bad. Said Richard Gardner, Bodog's sportsbook manager: "With Tim Tebow playing for the Broncos we saw more action on the Denver this week than we have in a long time. It will be interesting to see how the bettors treat the Broncos this week against the Lions since Detroit has also become a very publicly bet team this season. Either way Tebow is good for the game and good for the book, even though he cost us a lot last week."
Just to remind you, last week I said you should go under on Tebow's O/U of 175.5 passing yards and over on his O/U of 45.5 rushing yards. His totals from last week's game in Miami: 161 passing and 59 rushing. Just pointing that out.
Will there be another game this regular season with no touchdowns scored? (Last week the Seahawks/Browns game had no touchdowns)
Yes +115
No -145
Do the Browns and Seahawks play each other again? No? Good. I'll go with No on this one.
Which coach will be fired or resign first?
Jim Caldwell 2/3
Ken Whisenhunt 2/1
Steve Spagnuolo 3/1
I love that they don't put even put Tony Sparano's name up there. Like the world would implode before he wasn't fired by the end of this season; like there's no reality in this world that Sparano will be employed after this year is finished. I don't see Whisenhunt and Spagnuolo losing their jobs in the middle of the season, and I don't really see Caldwell suffering that fate either. But it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility, especially if the Colts are sitting at 0-12 and 0-13. So, go with Caldwell. Then, maybe Peyton Manning can become the head coach.
DeMarco Murray -- total rushing yards Week 8?
Over/Under 85½
After the 253-yard ridiculousness he showed last week, Murray is bound to come back to earth this week. He's also never gained more than 34 rushing yards in any other game during his short career. Although the Cowboys are playing the Eagles, ranked No. 23 in rush defense this year, I'd still go under with Murray.
Will Tim Tebow have another 4th quarter comeback when trailing by 13 or more points in the 2011 regular season?
Yes 10/1
Obviously, he won't. But I like the idea of taking the long odds. So, if I were putting money on it, I'd go with yes. Because, as we've all learned, anything with Tebow is possible.

Eye on Football NFL Awards: Week 7
Posted by Will Brinson
Every week, our NFL experts will hand out the Eye on Football hardware to the best of the best from the NFL week that was.
Big ups to new Cowboys starting running back DeMarco Murray who wins his first-ever Eye on Offense Award. I'm sure he's slightly more excited about that than he is about breaking Emmitt Smith's single-game Cowboys rushing record.
On defense, multiple members of our esteemed panel requested the freedom to vote for Kyle Boller and Carson Palmer. Since that's not allowed, Brandon Flowers ran away with the hardware like it was a Palmer pass to the flats.
If you saw the abomination that was Monday night's game between the Jaguars and Ravens, there shouldn't be any question who won the Eye on Special Teams Award -- Josh Scobee knocked out three 50+ yard field goals and picked up the cheese from us.
And Todd Haley, the bearded wonder, has his Chiefs within one win on Sunday of creating a three-way tie in the AFC West. For that, plus blanking the Raiders on Sunday, he's your Eye on Coaching Award winner. No, we didn't see this coming either.
Leave your votes in the comments below or scream angrily at us on Twitter @EyeOnNFL.

Pete Carroll thinks ref blew call, cost 'Hawks TD
Posted by Ryan Wilson
We'll be honest: we didn't watch every play of the Seattle-Cleveland game -- that's the type of punishment reserved for Gitmo detainees. In case you missed it (and we imagine you did), the Browns won the war of attrition, 6-3.
But if you ask Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, his team had a touchdown taken off the board and it probably cost them the game. Midway through the third quarter, with the Browns leading 3-0, Leon Washington returned a punt 81 yards to give Seattle the lead. Except that Kennard Cox was flagged for an illegal block, nullifying the score. Replays showed that Cox got his hand on the back of a Browns' player, though it would've been hard to argue if the officials hadn't thrown a flag at all. (Judge for yourself below. The play in question starts around the 1:05 mark.)
"I didn't think that was a call that should have been made," Carroll said Monday. "That was unfortunate. … There's a lot of calls that happen at light speed out there that are challenging to call, and that was one," he continued. "Unfortunately it was the play of the game for us. It was our touchdown in this game, and it got away from us, you know."
That's the saddest part to all this: it was the play of the game for the Seahawks. Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, filling in for Tarvaris Jackson, looked incapable of executing anything beyond a hand-off, and it makes you wonder why Carroll traded a second-round pick for him prior to the 2010 season.
And unlike last year, when the NFC West was up for grabs from for 17 weeks, the 49ers have already run away with the division. And barring an epic collapse by every other NFC wild-card team (or perhaps more likely, an asteroid strike), Seattle's season is just above done.

Tarvaris Jackson could actually play Sunday
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
With Tarvaris Jackson getting a bye week to recover from his pectoral injury, it's not so certain that backup Charlie Whitehurst will start in his place this Sunday when the Seahawks face Cleveland.
That's because, as Rapid Reporter John Boyle writes, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he might not know who's starting at quarterback until close to game time.
"We may go all the way to game time to understand whether he'll be available to us," said Carroll, referring to Jackson, who also said his starting quarterback would "do some stuff" at Wednesday's practice (though Whitehurst was taking snaps with the first team).
"The trainers and the doctors are really surprised that he's able to do what he's doing," Carroll said. "He's really tough-minded."
If Jackson can't play, that obviously means the Seahawks will go with Whitehurst, who took over for Jackson against the Giants and played well enough (11 of 19 for 149 yards and a touchdown) to allow the Seahawks score the win against New York.
"He's going to take all the reps..." Carroll said. "I'm anxious to see how he does with this preparation behind him. I think he's going to handle it very well."

Cedric Benson's suspension reduced to one game

Cedric Benson's pending suspension -- believed to be three games, but up in the air on when a ruling would occur -- has been a heavy point of labor contention throughout much of the NFL's first six weeks. But it should simmer a bit now that the league reduced Benson's suspension to a single game.
According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network, Benson will now miss just one game this season and be fined $176,000 (one week's pay) by the NFL.
With the Bengals on bye in Week 7, it stands to reason that Benson will miss the Week 8 game at Seattle, with backup Bernard Scott getting most of the carries in his stead.
For Cincinnati, it's tremendous news. Benson is their workhorse and with a rookie quarterback in Andy Dalton taking snaps, the Bengals need as much of a running game as they can get. Benson missing just a single game helps them substantially, especially because he's unlikely to miss any in-division games.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with Benson's unfair labor practice that he filed against the NFLPA, too.
"I will be in discussions with the Players Association over the next day or two and decide the next step in regards to the non-injury grievance," Benson's attorney David Cornwell said, per Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
For my money, Benson's best dropping the unfair labor claim. He ended up getting just a single-game suspension and while most players would prefer that the NFLPA not agree to the deal that the NFL offered in terms of discipline for offseason violations of the personal conduct policy, it's not like what Benson did is OK.
He beat the hell out of a guy in a bar in Austin -- the second such time he's attacked someone there. He's been in plenty of trouble before and if the cost of achieving a decade of labor peace was throwing Benson under the bus for a suspension for something that warrants a suspension, that's just something that helps the greater good.

Luck on 'Suck for Luck' campaigns: 'It's stupid'
Posted by Will Brinson
Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck is, once again, the prize gem of the NFL's incoming draft class. But things are a little different this year, as a number of discontented fan bases fired up "Suck for Luck" campaigns in the hopes that their team will be worse than your team and therefor end up drafting the Stanford prospect No. 1 overall.
Awkwardly, Luck's very much aware of these campaigns and, as he told Judy Battista of the New York Times recently, he's not a fan.
"I am aware of it," Luck said. "A couple of guys told me about it. I think it's stupid. Simply put."
It is stupid. And frankly, kind of annoying, given that there are so many fanbases -- the Colts, the Seahawks, the Chiefs and the Dolphins to name a few -- involved this early in the season. (There's nothing wrong with scouting Luck, of course.)
In fact, Chris Joseph, the fella that runs Fins Nation, a Dolphins blog, is quoted in Battista's article as wholeheartedly endorsing the campaign, saying that he "actively rooted" for the Dolphins to lose to San Diego recently.
That's pretty awkward if you're a "real fan" or whatever, but making it even worse is that Luck still has a year of eligibility left. As a redshirt junior, Luck doesn't have to leave Stanford. Though if he wins the Heisman (he's the prohibitive favorite right now) and the first-ever Pac-12 title game, plus a BCS bowl game, he'll be hard pressed to hang around, especially since the Cardinal graduating 23 seniors from this season's team.
But maybe Luck will think twice if the folks who'll end up cheering for him in 2012 spent the entire prior year rooting against their own team.

Pete Carroll has a present for LeBron
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Earlier today we told you about LeBron James directing a Twitter message to ESPN's John Clayton in which the unemployed James jokingly (we think) asked about the NFL deadline for signing free agents.
While Will Brinson wrote James could be a tight end because "he's like a lovechild of Antonio Gates and Jimmy Graham, but with better jumping ability and experience playing football. Or something," James almost certainly will never play in the NFL.
CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman wrote in his Daily Shoutout that some NFL personnel people have told him James could be a Pro Bowl tight end in just a few years, but Freeman believes it wouldn't happen.
Writes Freeman, "It would be a disaster because of the contact. It's been a while since James was hit and the last time that happened was in high school for him. And don't give me the NBA is physical. The only thing that rivals the NFL in terms of physicality are the fighting sports.
There's also the problem of blocking. If James played tight end he'd have to do the dirty work of trying to knock guys into the dirt. I don't see James possessing the grit to do that."
Maybe so, but at least one person is willing to recruit him. And like all the best recruiters, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made a little present for the one who's being recruited. Which you can see below. And which is pretty awesome.

Aaron Curry traded from Seahawks to Raiders
Posted by Will Brinson
Not too long ago, Aaron Curry was the fourth-overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and a sure-fire, can't-miss linebacking prospect out of Wake Forest. Now, he's been traded from the Seahawks to the Raiders for a pair of undisclosed (read: late) draft picks.
According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the Raiders sent the Seahawks an undisclosed 2012 draft pick and an undisclosed 2013 draft pick in exchange for Curry.
Curry recorded 5.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, nine pass deflections and 130 total tackles in his time with Seattle, though he lost his starting job in 2011.
Earlier in the day, our Seahawks Rapid Reporter John Boyle noted that Curry cleaned out his locker and said goodbye to his teammates, though it took some time for word of the trade to leak out to the public.
A fresh start with the Raiders certainly stands to benefit Curry (more than staying in Seattle anyway), and there's no question that he's got enough upside to warrant the first post-Al Davis trade for Oakland, especially at the low price of two later draft picks.
The early part of the 2009 NFL Draft is now shaping up as one of the worst in recent history though: Jason Smith (Rams, moved to right tackle), Tyson Jackson (Chiefs), Curry, Andre Smith (Bengals), Darrius Heyward-Bey (Raiders), Aaron Maybin (Bills), and Larry English were among the top-20 picks in that draft class.

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) urges any residents recovering from the effects of the recent severe winter storm, landslides, mudslides, and flooding, who have registered for assistance and have questions or concerns about disaster-related needs, to call the FEMA toll-free number 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) (TTY 1‑800‑462‑7585) and select the Helpline option. Residents can get constant, important information.
It is important to stay in touch with FEMA by using the Helpline to check on the status of an application, to update contact information, to change an inspection appointment, to update other application information, or to ask other recovery- related questions. English, Spanish and other multilingual recovery specialists are available to answer your questions.
The first step in getting disaster assistance is to register with FEMA. Calling the county emergency manager does not register you. You are registered only if you have received a 9-digit number from FEMA.
Residents in the declared counties of Benton, Cowlitz, Clallam, Grays Harbor, King, Kittitas, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, Wahkiakum and Whatcom can register for assistance or obtain general disaster information on the FEMA website, www.fema.gov, or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) (TTY 1‑800‑462‑7585).
FEMA leads and supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards including natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters.

What should the congressional GOP's policy objectives be for the next two years regarding federal deficits and prosperity?
Two very different strategies are being considered by authentic conservatives: 1) attempt to govern from their majority in the House and actually try to start the process of reducing the costs of entitlements (most conspicuously Social Security and Medicare) as a path back to prosperity and good jobs; or 2) recognize that the GOP cannot govern without holding the White House, and that, therefore, they should not touch entitlements but merely tinker with discretionary spending and frame the issues for 2012 when they may win the presidency and Senate, as well as hold the majority in the House.
I believe we should follow the first option. The second strategy was championed by, among others, the Wall Street Journal (the esteemed wheelhouse of modern journalistic conservatism) in a Jan. 4 editorial headlined "The GOP Opportunity: The main Republican task will be framing the issues for 2012.
They argued that "Republicans did not run in 2010 to be national accountants. ... Thanks to the failure of the Obama-Pelosi spending stimulus, the voters are once again listening to Republicans on the economy. They should not cede that ground back by turning into mere deficit scolds. ... Republicans can't govern from the House. What they can do is stake out a GOP agenda..."
Undergirding this "issue framing only" strategy is the belief that in 1995, Newt Gingrich and his new GOP majority failed to "govern from the House" and lost the public relations battle by "shutting down the government" in its effort to advance deficit reduction.
As Speaker Gingrich's press secretary from 1990-1997, I was in the middle of that fight. The first argument -- that one cannot "govern from the House" -- is demonstrably false. The second argument was true in 1995-96, but need not be true in 2011-2012.
The GOP in 1995 had three major policy objectives: 1) to balance the budget in seven years, 2) to reform welfare and 3) to pass our Contract with America 10-point plan. President Clinton opposed all three. With Clinton eventually going along, we in fact balanced the budget ahead of schedule, Clinton signed our welfare reform after first vetoing it twice, and about two-thirds of the contract was enacted into law and signed by President Clinton. I would call that "governing from the House." (And the GOP continued to hold its majority in the House for another decade; then, after Bob Dole lost to Clinton in 1996, the GOP took the White House in 2000 and 2004.)
Blankley, who had been suffering from stomach cancer, died Saturday night at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, his wife, Lynda Davis, said Sunday.
In his long career as a political operative and pundit, his most visible role was as a spokesman for and adviser to Gingrich from 1990 to 1997. Gingrich became House Speaker when Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives following the 1994 midterm elections.

By Eric Boehm | Watchdog.org
It's legal to drink alcohol in your home. And it's legal to smoke in your home.
But in Maryland, it could soon be illegal to smoke your drink, even in your own home.
Maryland state lawmakers have approved a ban on Vaportinis, a new device that allows consumers to inhale fumes from heated alcoholic drinks. Think of it as a combination of a martini and hookah, or perhaps like larger scale version of an e-cigarette with booze instead of tobacco and nicotine.
The Vaportini is sold as a "revolutionary way of consuming alcohol," but it's actually a pretty simple device. A glass globe filled with liquor sits above a small candle, which warms the alcohol just enough to make it give off vapors to be inhaled.
Though it allows users to get drunk more quickly because the inhaled alcohol can pass into the blood stream through one's lungs, reviewers say the buzz also passes more quickly and the amount of alcohol contained in each use is about the same as a double shot that can be purchased from any bar or easily poured at home.
The facts seem to matter little to Maryland lawmakers, who are just plain scared of the newfangled contraption.
"I took a look at what the vaporizer does, and I didn't think it would be a good thing to be doing," Del. Charles Barkley, D-Montgomery, who sponsored the bill, told Capital News Service of Maryland. "Some doctors were unsure what effect (vaporizing alcohol) would have on the brain."
You have to respect the gall of someone who thinks it's his job to ban any activity that he doesn't think "would be a good thing to be doing."
Barkley gets bonus points for admitting medical professionals have yet to come to a consensus about whether such devices are actually, you know, dangerous. Or at least whether they are more or less dangerous than consuming alcohol in its traditional form (something most doctors agree can be a health concern, yet lawmakers haven't banned).
But Barkley has to share the blame, or the spotlight, with the rest of the Maryland Legislature. The state Senate voted unanimously this week to pass the ban, following on the heels of a 105-28 vote by the state House in March.
Gov. Martin O'Malley hasn't indicated so far if he will sign it.
Julie Palmer, who invented the Vaportini at a Chicago bar in 2010 and now markets the devices, said she doesn't understand the reasoning behind the ban.
"Using a Vaportini won't put people over the legal alcohol limit," Palmer told CNS. "There is no danger of overdose."
The only complaints she's fielded are from people who didn't get drunk from using the device, she added.
Even if O'Malley signs the legislation, the Vaportini will remain legal, for now, in 49 other states. But hysteria over new forms of alcohol tends to spread quickly — remember the short-lived and legislatively-killed run of Four Loko a few years ago?
At least 20 other states already have bans on so-called "alcohol without liquid" devices, or AWOL machines, which allow users to inhale a vaporized form of alcohol instead of Palmer's device that uses a candle to evaporate alcoholic fumes.
Regardless of how many bans come spilling out of state capitols, it's a good bet Americans will keep finding new and innovative ways to get drunk.
Or we can just stick to the old, still legal, ways of doing it.
As Steve Inskeep of NPR put it:
If the governor signs the bill, Marylanders will have to stick to a regular martini, or a boilermaker, or a shotgunning a beer, a six-pack, straight from the bottle or methods that remain so far perfectly legal.
Meanwhile, Maryland lawmakers are just getting drunk on power.

SEPT. 9, 2012 — From the archives: Coverage of Hawley trial from 1990
Its been 25 years since C. Eric Dawson was murdered, and his son believes its time the Fort Myers community speaks up about who was responsible.
The 43-year-old real estate developer disappeared 25 years ago today, leaving behind a wife and three children. Dawson left home the evening of Sept. 9, 1988, to show a potential investor a lot he owned off Corkscrew Road, where he planned to build a Christian residential community called Familyland. Hunters found his body two months later, buried in a shallow grave and covered with concrete on that Corkscrew lot. Dawson had been shot in the back of the head.
No one was charged in the murder.
The victims son, Jason, believes people know more than theyve told Fort Myers in 1988 was a small town of heavily connected good old boys, he said. Jasons mother turned 65 this year, and for her sake, hes imploring the community to reopen the case he believes was swept under the rug.
I really just want, Jason Dawson said, for her to not go to her grave not knowing who committed the crime and for justice to be served.
There is one Lee County detective assigned to the sheriffs offices roughly 100 cold cases, which date back as far as 1949. The sheriffs office wouldnt comment on what its doing to solve the Dawson case, saying it didnt want to jeopardize the investigation.
Deputies investigating Dawsons murder initially set their sights on a prominent Fort Myers family the Hawleys, according to former Lee County Detective Thomas Kontinos, a lead investigator on the case. In the days before Eric Dawsons death, his business partner, Phillip Hawley, took control of Dawsons major assets including 71 acres of land off Winkler Road. Further investigation revealed Hawley forged Dawsons signature on the deed, stealing the $2.4 million property.
Hawley and his sons, Danny, David and Paul, were convicted of forgery and other fraud charges. But thats all.
There was absolutely nothing to connect them to the homicide, said Dwight Brock, who prosecuted the case. Nothing.
Investigators never found a murder weapon, said Brock, who is now Collier County clerk of court. But that doesnt mean speculation surrounding the Hawleys evaporated.
It did seem just a little bit strange that on the day of (Dawsons) disappearance, Brock said, all of these deeds of transfer got recorded in the official records through the Hawleys with regard to his property.
The Hawleys sentencing for fraud was more than a little bit strange, Brock said it was illegal.
Phillip Hawley was convicted of more than a dozen charges and faced a maximum prison sentence of 30 years. State sentencing guidelines called for 2.5 to 5.5 years. What he received was 120 days in jail, 20 years probation and community service the judge said Hawley had an upstanding reputation. The court lifted Hawleys probation in 2004.
The law required Judge Elmer Friday to submit a written reason if he departed from state sentencing guidelines, which he didnt submit, Brock said. Therefore the sentencing was illegal and should have been overturned, he said.
The Hawley sons escaped jail time altogether.
Phillip Hawley maintains his innocence in the fraud and Dawsons murder.
I was set up, he said.
Hawley and Dawson were on good terms before Dawsons disappearance, Hawley said.
Hawley has his own theory about Dawsons murder.
He was involved in the mob up in Detroit, Hawley said. I dont know any more than that.
The family left
Jason Dawson was 11 when his father was murdered. When police found the body, Jasons mother and older brother broke the news as gently as they could while on the way to church. Jason remembers crying for hours. Over the years, that grief gave way to anger and caused Jason to act out.
Eric Dawson encouraged his sons love for basketball, going so far as to start basketball programs in the community to give his son better competition. Dawson enjoyed laughing and joking it seemed like everybody liked him, his son said.
He was an amazing man, Jason Dawson said.
Eric Dawsons murder was widely publicized even making an appearance in a 2009 true crime book, The Prom Night Murders, by Pulitzer Prize finalist Carlton Smith.
Smith described Dawson as heavily in debt running several real estate and investment projects to stay afloat. He called the Hawleys trial one of the most contentious in Floridas history.
A case grown cold
Over the past few years, Jason has tried several times to get the Lee County Sheriffs Office to reopen his fathers murder case. Each time he felt investigators rebuffed him.
Kontinos, now a private investigator in Cape Coral, said he and others involved gave the case their best shot. The murder was carefully planned and well-executed likely by more than one person and few clues were left behind, he said.
Investigators dont usually reopen a cold case unless a new tip comes in, or they have forensic evidence that can be processed by new scientific methods, Kontinos said.
Investigators sifted through the concrete that encased Dawsons body its possible they found the killers DNA but didnt have the technology to process it, Kontinos said.
(Maybe) somebody dropped a hair, he said, they cut themselves, they bled, who knows.
Its not unheard of to solve a case this old, Kontinos said.
Florida has no statute of limitations for first-degree murder, meaning Dawsons killer could still face justice.
You never say never, Kontinos said, in that line of work.

She added the hashtags #grateful and #livingforlove, so it sounds like she's having a pretty good day. Lourdes, on the other hand, is probably cringing in embarrassment as she finishes lighting the candles on Mama's birthday cake.
Not many 56-year-olds would ring in their special day by freeing the nipple, but Madonna's never been one to shy away from going the NSFW route. Party on, Madge.

Detroit Tigers prospect Devon Travis runs to first after hitting a two-run home run against the Tampa Bay Rays on March 19, 2013 in Lakeland, Fla. / Associated Press
John Verburg is the editor of the Detroit Tigers blog Motor City Bengals. His opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the Detroit Free Press nor its writers.
This past weekend, the Detroit Tigers attempted to restock their minor league system through the 2013 MLB draft. It's a system that could use an injection of talent, as much of its depth has been traded away to acquire the players the major league club puts on the field each day. We won't know for quite some time whether first-round pick Jonathon Crawford becomes the next Max Scherzer or the next Ryan Perry, so I wanted to take a quick look at some of the current Tigers minor leaguers in a "Stock Up, Stock Down" format.
Stock Up
Devon Travis (2B): Travis has been a hitting machine for the Class A West Michigan Whitecaps this season. The 22-year-old is hitting .339 with an OBP of .410. Having seen Travis several times this season, it's clear he is too skilled for the Midwest League and is likely to get moved up at some point. Travis won't wow anyone with tools nor athletic ability, but he is highly skilled reminiscent of ex-Tiger Placido Polanco.
Harold Castro (2B): Castro was pretty highly rated coming into the season by most Tigers experts, but nobody expected the 19-year-old to be hitting .300 for Class A Lakeland. Castro does have development left for his all-around game, but his ability to control the bat is impressive for a youngster. He is certainly one to follow over the next couple of years, as the Tigers look for their eventual replacement to Omar Infante.
Daniel Fields (OF): Fields has been somewhat of an enigma for the Tigers since getting drafted in 2009. Blessed with good tools, he hadn't really put them to use on a baseball field up until this point. Fields is still learning, as evidenced by his strikeout rate of around 25%, but he also is striking the baseball with much more authority than in the past, posting an OPS of .844 this season with Double-A Erie.
Stock Down
Casey Crosby (SP): Crosby just can't seem to put together an extended stretch in which he dominates minor league hitters. His inconsistency has continued in 2013, and it's getting to the point where the talented left-handers stock is falling quickly. Still able to generate a bunch of groundballs and strikeouts, Crosby also continues to struggle with throwing strikes. He is 2-5 with an ERA of 4.53 for Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens.
Aaron Westlake (1B): Westlake hasn't done a ton since being a third-round draft pick in 2011. He did finish 2012 strong with the Whitecaps, giving some hope for 2013. But while Westlake's batting average of .269 in Lakeland is respectable, the strikeout rate and lack of power for a first baseman are not. Considering Westlake turns 25 years old after the season, he should be further along.
Bruce Rondon (RP): Given the eye-popping numbers Rondon is posting in Toledo, this may be a surprise choice. But much was expected of the 22-year-old in 2013, and his continued struggles with finding the strike zone has tarnished his status. His 0.81 ERA in Toledo is nice, but his 12 walks in 22 innings is what is going to keep him from Detroit. He needs to find a pitch other than his fastball that he can throw for a strike.

Week eight of "Dancing With The Stars All-Stars" sent two celebrities packing, just one week shy of the semi-finals.
Actress Kirtie Alley was the first to be eliminated on Tuesday night's results show, and she was all smiles.
"I learned more about dancing, believe it or not," she said, and thanked and her professional dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. "He's so patient with me and he's so helpful to me and I just love dancing…"
Actor Gilles Marini and his professional partner Peta Murgatroyd were next. Marini was a fierce competitor and was in the middle of the leader board, but apparently failed to get enough fan votes.
"I tried my very best," he said, adding that Murgatroyd was "an angel out there, teaching me amazing things."
Returning next week to perform in the semi-finals are Olympian Apolo Ohno, actress Kelly Monaco, NFL legend Emmitt Smith, Olympian Shawn Johnson and TV personality Melissa Rycroft.
Each remaining celebrity will be dancing a style and theme picked by each other. Their choices were: Surfer Flamenco, Knight Rider Bhangra, Big Top Jazz, Mad Monk Merengue, Espionage Lindy Hop and Caveman Hustle.

The goal of Climate Change: In Context is to help high-school and early college-age students understand the essential facts and deeper cultural connections of topics and issues related to the scientific study of climate change and its impacts on humanity.
The relationship of science to complex ethical and social considerations is evident, for example, when considering the political and economic impacts of climate change related to human activity. The data clearly and strongly convince the vast majority of scientists that unnatural global climate change is happening and that it is almost certain that it is due to anthropogenic activity (caused by humans). This book reflects that scientific consensus and expands the discussion from the question of whether climate change is real to the question of what should be done about it.
In an attempt to enrich the reader's understanding of the mutually impacting relationship between science and culture, as space allows we have included primary sources that enhance the content of In Context entries. In keeping with the philosophy that much of the benefit from using primary sources derives from the reader's own process of inquiry, the contextual material introducing each primary source provides an unobtrusive introduction and springboard to critical thought.
Climate Change: In Context is a collection of entries on diverse topics selected to provide insight into increasingly important and urgent topics associated with the study of climate change.
The articles in the book are meant to be understandable by anyone with a curiosity about topics related to the science of climate change, and the first edition of Climate Change: In Context has been designed with ready reference in mind:

|Non-stress-related factors associated with maternal corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) concentration.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20618729 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|During pregnancy, most maternal corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) is secreted by the placenta, not the hypothalamus. Second trimester maternal CRH concentration is robustly associated with the subsequent risk of preterm birth, and it is often assumed that physiological and/or psychological stress stimulates placental CRH release. Evidence supporting the latter assumption is weak, however, and other factors affecting maternal CRH have received little attention from investigators. We carried out a case-control study nested within a large, multicentre prospective cohort of pregnant women to examine potential 'upstream' factors associated with maternal CRH concentration measured at 24-26 weeks of gestation. The predictors studied included maternal age, parity, birthplace (as a proxy for ethnic origin), pre-pregnancy body mass index, height, smoking, bacterial vaginosis and vaginal fetal fibronectin (FFN) concentration. Women with high (above the median) plasma CRH concentration were significantly less likely to have been born in Sub-Saharan Africa or the Caribbean, less likely to be overweight or obese, and more likely to be smokers. Associations with maternal birthplace and BMI persisted in logistic regression analyses controlling for potential confounding variables and when restricted to term controls. A strong (but imprecise and statistically non-significant) association was also observed with high vaginal FFN concentration. Further studies are indicated both in animal models and human populations to better understand the biochemical and physiological pathways to CRH secretion and their aetiological role, if any, in preterm birth.

It's been five years since Jacob Sexton, a soldier with the Indiana National Guard, came home with nightmares after two combat deployments, and on a Monday evening in a movie theater with family and friends, killed himself with a pistol shot. He was 21-years-old. The story is horrifying, and sadly familiar. On this day, we pause to honor the 21.9 million living Americans who have served in uniform. We might also remember the estimated 8,000 veterans and 475 active duty, reserve and National Guard men and women who took their own lives last year in the ongoing tragedy of military and veteran suicide. Jacob's death, like the others, could have been prevented.
Over the last few months, corporations have found a new way to gain attention on Twitter: tweeting rap lyrics and other allusions to hip-hop culture. The culprit that has most popularly surfaced across Twitter timelines is IHOP, which tweets edited versions of lyrics from songs by artists such as Drake, Trinidad James, and Bobby Shmurda.
Black America, we have so much to actually learn about Africa -- and yes, it does matter. For far too long, our perceptions have been negatively impacted by white dominated narratives that have plagued our grade school text books and public discourse about the Motherland.
Going green can seem like a daunting undertaking for such a big, worldwide problem. But with a mind shift and accepting that your small changes can have a big impact, instituting energy saving habits can be quite easy.

While the 105 HBCUs represent just 3 percent of the nation's institutions of higher learning, they graduate nearly 20 percent of African Americans who earn undergraduate degrees. HBCUs present an opportunity to shape how we close achievement gaps even before they begin.
While it may seem insensitive to "blame" hazing victims for their hazing experiences, the issue is not so much blame. It's a question of who are the various stakeholders who may play a vital role in ending, or at least seriously curtailing, hazing.
S. Epatha Merkerson uses her success to empower others, to gift others with knowledge and freedom. The kind of power one implants in their children to be better human being; to be a positive contributor to society.
Affirmative action being picked off by judicial conservatism at the highest levels may seem like a bad idea, but for the schools that exclusively serve the people whom will most be affected by its demise, it may reintroduce HBCU value to the nation and world, in a way more grand than we ever could have imagined without it.
Hair relaxers contain a cocktail of harsh chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin of your vulnerable scalp, so for your sake and baby's, it's best to err on the side of caution and whip your hair back and forth au natural throughout your pregnancy.

Over the last 30 years, our understanding of AIDS has improved dramatically, bringing us to a point of unprecedented possibility and hope. Now is the time to build on that momentum, and end the epidemic for good.
The rest of the world knows him as Nelson Mandela. We, as South Africans, choose to call him Madiba, his Xhosa clan name. Since I was a young girl growing up in the Daveyton township in Johannesburg's East Rand, Madiba has always been my hero.
While such support is a necessary and honorable, the SnagFIlms documentary Out of Control: The AIDS Epidemic in Black America shows us how AIDS continues to be a deeply damaging disease in the United States, and more specifically, in the Black Community.
For many natural women today, self-confidence trumps racial pride and self-discovery takes priority over sisterhood. Convenience, time management, budget and health are on women's long and diverse lists of reasons to go natural.
We're best friends, beyond being married we enjoy being together. He inspires me as an artist, plus he's sexy on top of it! I think that the challenge is balancing life together.
The increase of natural hair awareness is prompting an increase in Black-owned companies catering to natural hair. As a result, companies that once marketed exclusively to relaxed hair are creating new products that cater to natural and curly hair textures.
You can always say you will never talk to someone who has attacked you or someone who disagrees with you. That is a legitimate, historic position. It is not one, however, that has ever made peace, which is our commitment.

On ebooks and design for humans
I love the idea of reading books on my tablet. But in general, the experience is poor. It's a great solution for travel, reduces clutter, and helps readers save their dead-tree budget for books that are valued as art objects just as much as they are for their content. But there are two problems that scuttle almost every book-on-tablet experience.
