LEXINGTON, KY. - Eighth-ranked Kentucky posted a 5-0 victory over Georgia to win the rubber match of a Southeastern Confernece series Sunday at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
Kentucky (21-6, 6-3 SEC) went up 1-0 in the first inning off of a leadoff triple by Austin Cousino and a sacrifice fly by Zac Zellers. Bulldogs centerfielder DJ Smith looked to have tracked Cousino's smash down as he gloved it at the wall, but it popped out when he made contact with the fence.
Georgia (10-19, 1-8 SEC) missed its best scoring opportunity of the day in the second. Senior Kyle Farmer led off with a single and right fielder Jared Walsh reached on a Kentucky error. Senior Brett DeLoach fell behind 0-2 and worked the count full before striking out. On the play, Farmer was thrown out trying to steal third.
Junior Corey Littrell (4-0) struck out a career-high 12 in seven innings to lead the Wildcats who improved to 11-0 in rubber games started by him in his career. Senior Bryan Benzor made his second career start for the Bulldogs and fell to 1-2. He went four innings and allowed five runs on six hits.
Kentucky extended its lead to 3-0 in the third as Cousino added an RBI-double and Zellers collected his second RBI on a base hit. In the fifth, catcher Micheal Thomas made it 5-0 with a two-run blast.
"We didn't make a couple of plays in the outfield, and then we didn't take advantage of our shot in the second inning," Georgia coach David Perno said in a news release. "We had a chance for potentially bases loaded situation and we came up empty. Our seniors made some mistakes today, and while they've done a lot for our program over the years, they didn't follow the plan today. We can change the results we're getting, but we've got to execute better. I was pleased with how Ross (Ripple) performed today, he's had a great week."
A bright spot for the Bulldogs was the relief pitching by sophomore Ross Ripple. He tossed three scoreless innings with three strikeouts Sunday after going 3.1 innings and picking up a win this past Wednesday at Clemson.
Georgia wraps up this latest five-game road trip on Tuesday when it faces Kennesaw State (17-11) at 6 p.m.

As of 4PM (EST) Tuesday, Profootballtalk.com has not updated its story from yesterday on the Packer "bounty" non-scandal. We sent this email:
Are you guys going to update the post below, as your "stay tuned" coda suggests? We're particularly interested in the line in which you erroneously, and in our view irresponsibly, suggest that Adrian Peterson's injury might have come as a result of these alleged financial incentives between Packer teammates. "But to the extent that limiting a player's production can be satisfied in part by, for example,
tearing the player's LCL, it's probably not a good idea for incentives of this nature to be dangled in
front of NFL players."
As the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Greg Bedard has pointed out, the incentives were to have been paid
from defensive backs to defensive lineman. Cornerback Al Harris is the one who hit Peterson on the play in
question. Therefore, if the motive was in fact financial — a silly proposition given that the $500
total is a rounding error for Harris and his accountants — Harris would have had incentive NOT to
tackle Peterson.
We'll be happy to post your answer for our very interested readers at Packergeeks.com.
A quick note on why we're pursuing this. First, the original story zipped around the internet and even made traditional news websites like ESPN and CNN. The use of the word "bounty" in the context of prohibited (but relatively harmless) side wagers between teammates, has led to irresponsible conjecture about motives of Packer players — speculation like that found at PFT.
For those of you not famililar with the site, Profootballtalk.com is a very powerful blog covering the NFL. NFL beat writers check in several times a day to see what rumors and gossip are floating around locker rooms and board rooms across the league. How powerful? The league's television network, NFL Network, advertises on the website. The PFT guys are often very funny and almost always very irreverent. And to their credit, the PFT guys call the newsy part of their website the "rumor mill" and poke fun of themselves as "internet hacks."
But sometimes they try to make scandals out of nothing. (See their string about Shawne Merriman yesterday for another example.) And when someone who is forced to answer questions first raised on PFT (as Colts President Bill Polian had to do recently) refers obliquely to disreputable websites, they object strenuously. As with many blogs, when they're good, they're very good. But when they're bad, they're awful. And this is clearly a case of the latter.

Here's a website devoted to bad tattoos. And here's one I like even better. There are different kinds of bad, though, you know, and I'm going to endorse this kind:

Branding really mystifies me. How can someone look at their own face and conclude that it needs to be improved by lines? Or tattoos, for that matter?
That said, the branding does look very interesting, in a I-slept-facedown-on-a-patterned-rug kind of way
- J said...
Are you aware of any publicly traded medical practices specializing in tattoo removal we could invest in?
- David53 said...
I'll never understand our current fascination with tattoos. The Jews were tattooed with identification numbers in Nazi concentration camps. It helped with the body count. Do you really want any government to have another means of identifying you?
- SippicanCottage said...
Ritual scarification and self mutilation have always had a meaning.
It's just that now, it's a kind of bizzaro world meaning. It's the vinyl siding of the bourgeois body.
Ugly, shabby, and exactly the opposite of the authenticity it craves.
- LordSomber said...
bad tattoos = permanent bellbottoms
- Fatmouse said...
Oh man, I hate tattoos. I really hate tattoos.
I hate them for the same reason I hate obviously fake boobs: I've never seen a woman who looked better with them than without.
And like LordSomber said, tattoos are permanent fashion disasters. If you feel the need to be an individual or flaunt your favorite pastime, buy a freaking t-shirt until you grow out of your delayed adolescence.
If I were dictator of the world, I'd make tattoos illegal and pass out free sharpie markers. "Here, if you feel the need to draw all over yourself, go ahead."
More random tattoo hate:
1. "Sleeves" where someone smears a random collage of ink from the wrist up. Besides looking like you thrust your arms into a rancid vat of fungus, from a distance of more than two feet they all look like the same greenish-brown mess.
2. "Ass Antlers." That pseudo-celtic squiggle above a woman's buttocks and below her tank top. Also serves as a handy STD warning label.
3. "Modblog." I'm not providing a link, since the front page is often filled with men doing horrible things to their testicles, but I've never seen a more self-righteous group of people indignant that people won't heap praise on their ability to poke holes and draw on themselves.
Oh man, I hate tattoos.
- Veeshir said...
Neil Boortz had the perfect take on facial and head tatoos: They're useful. It allows you to know that the person you're talking to is an idiot without having to waste time talking to him/her.
That's just about right.
- Laura Reynolds said...
"Also serves as a handy STD warning label"
Very funny, as the truth often is.
- Fatmouse said...
Wow, and to follow up my earlier post, I read the full comment thread on Ann's last link and it just cemented my opinion that people with tattoos are hypersensitive and hysterical. "HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME!"
I suppose if you get your hair cut like Vanilla Ice and people make fun of you, you can shave your head. But if you get Vanilla Ice tattoos, all you can do if moan about how judgmental those stupid sheeple are.
- vbspurs said...
I can't stand tattoos and look in horror at people who decide to mutilate themselves. My apologies if this includes someone on Althouse.
Seeing how the thread could devolve into some kind of target practise towards tattooed folks, I'm going to do my Victoria "thing" and mention something of historical interest.
Remember the public surprise when Zara Phillips (Princess Anne's daughter, and reigning BBC Sport Personality of the Year) decided to get her tongue-pierced recently?
Par for the course, for that family, which people wouldn't have objected if they knew the history.
Edward VII: Went to the Holy Lands back in 1862, and had three crosses in black ink, done on his right forearm.
His wife, Queen Alexandra: Decided to put a snake tattoo on her left ankle, after Winston Churchill's mum made tattoos for high society ladies, de rigueur.
Other royal women with tattoos included Empress Elisabeth of Austria (big anchor on her left shoulder), Princess Marie of Denmark (ditto, close to her right collarbone), Queen Amelie of Portugal (small snake on her wrist), and Crown Princess Cecilie of Prussia (cross on her wrist).
Their son, King George V: Was a walking tattoo parlour, having gotten his first tattoos (three crosses on his forearm, just like dear old dad), in Japan in the 1880s. BTW, the practise had been outlawed in Japan by then, but it still happened underground.
As he grew older, King George "added" to his tattoo collection, which included both of his arms, all of his chest, and some of his back.
What makes this most striking, is that staid, stick-in-the-mud seeming Queen Mary, actually liked her husband's tattoos, AND if you can believe this, made drawings so that the tattoo artist could improve on some of the tattoos already there. He would go to the Palace once or twice a year, and work on the King there (this information is from the tattoo artists memoirs on the topic).
George V's sons, however, connoted tattoos with beards (that is, old-fashioned), and refused to have any, therefore allowing the practise to die out, but something tells me, Prince Harry is the tattooing kind. We'll see.
- vbspurs said...
From the last link Ann gave, via Fatmouse's injuction to read it:
This takes the cake. If you didn't hear this woman auctioned off the space on her forehead on Ebay the highest bidder was goldenpalace.com.
I'm dumbstruck.
I wonder, what little sense of self do you have, to do something of this nature to your FACE? IN BLACK INK!
The girl is pretty too, in a skanky, Harley-Davidson kind of way.
Ahh, well, to each his own.

was the Royal male tatoo's at all a RN thing? Royal Navy for you Americans
On the personal subject of Tatoos
It's one thing to have a small tatoo of a butterfly or some such on your ass or groin for example, but I was at my company's Christmas party and there were a number of our younger female staff (IT professionals) with tatoos that party dresses didn't cover on their arms, chest, shoulders or back.
sort of a permanent professional mistake, like talking about your sexual history on MyFace.
- vbspurs said...
was the Royal male tatoo's at all a RN thing? Royal Navy for you Americans
Heh, I think Americans know what RN is, no? ;)
The answer is "yes and no", Drill Sgt.
Edward VII, who reintroduced and popularised tattoos into high society and royal circles, was not a Naval officer, per se.
His decision seems to have rested on an impulse to have a concrete souvenir of his Jerusalem visit.
His son, George V, however, specifically had his first tattoo due to his RN mates egging him on, so to do, during his ship's tour to Japan.
Interestingly, his rather effete brother Eddy (one-time popularly thought to be Jack the Ripper), found the practise foul and refused the dare to get a tattoo.
There are naval angles to the other tattooed royalty, though.
Marie d'Orleans and Denmark had a naval husband, Prince Valdemar, and it was her tribute to him.
King Frederik VIII of Denmark had several tats on his chest and arms, because he too was a naval officer.
His grandson, Crown Prince Frederik, also has a tattoo linked to his Elite Special Forces naval training, seen here.
On the personal subject of Tatoos
It's one thing to have a small tatoo of a butterfly or some such on your ass or groin for example,
Well, I suppose so, but finding a tattoo on the person of a person, is like opening a shower curtain and finding a small spider -- nasty just the same.
but I was at my company's Christmas party and there were a number of our younger female staff (IT professionals) with tatoos that party dresses didn't cover on their arms, chest, shoulders or back.
I wonder what will happen, when they're 50 years old, and all saggy? Ick...
sort of a permanent professional mistake, like talking about your sexual history on MyFace.
I actually have a lawyer friend who has a tattoo on her ankle -- one judge is so picky, he asks her to wear a pantsuit, since he doesn't like tattoos in his courtroom.
I never thought that could be legal, but like a ship's captain and his ship, I suppose a judge's courtroom is like his personal fiefdom -- what he says, goes.
- vbspurs said...
I can't let "Frederik VIII" sit there, mocking me, because I made a booboo. It's actually Frederik IX, folks, I mistyped.
But so as not to be a wasted post, here is a pic of the old King, in his full tattooed glory.
Love how he puffs out his chest, in a manly gesture.
- Cedarford said...
Tattoos are ancient and honorable, found in every culture. You see them going back to the dawn of time - on Egyptian mummies, Incan mummies, even on Uzli(sp?) the stone-age Iceman.
Clearly a core human behavior, done for a variety of reasons. Some good, some stupid. I tend to think with stupidity winning out.
AllenS said...
Nothing worse than in the heat of passion, removing a women's panties and finding a tattoo of some small creature on the inside of her thigh.
Well, my dating days are over, hopefully, but I can say my passion did not wane in the slightest when I was at the "secret-tattoo finding out" stage of a partner's unveiling. Maybe because as proud as the gals were of their "special 'tat", I cared more about other matters. The morning after, I confess to reconsidering the meaning of the wiccan pentagram on one bedmate's ass as a possible indicator the "relationship" might not work out.
I agree with those that talked of "ass antlers" and them being "STD warning signs". Where I come from, they are accurately called "Tramp Stamps".
Another type that rankles is the people that slap a permanent billboard ad on their bodies for some corporate brand product or corporate slogan. And if you must get Chinese ideographs, dumb white boys, at least know what they mean if asked!
I have one tattoo, which I got 10 years ago to cover an ugly surgical scar on my shoulder when I got tired of being asked about the scar, how I got it. (It worked. Hardly anyone comments on yet another schmoe with a banal shoulder 'tat)
I hate them for the same reason I hate obviously fake boobs: I've never seen a woman who looked better with them than without.
Kyra Sedgewick, Julia Roberts look better with fake boobs than without.
And there are plenty of women that have more modest and natural-appearing fakes that give desired body symmetry, or restore their previously symmetrical boob's peak desirability and youthful appearance post motherhood, etc. Without having to go with the round, half cantaloupe sized gravity defying ones that scream "fake!!" when a woman is still over a football field's distance away from you.
Like any technology, tattoos and fake boobery marches on. Fake boobs are moving well past the fake hard cantaloupe era, and a drug company in true genius has done R&D to come up with a new, improved line of tattoo dyes that are designed not fade - but also to break down and go away when laser light of a certain frequency is applied.
- Sigivald said...
Allens: Oh, ye of little imagination. I can think of lots of worse things.
(Plus, if it's on her thigh, shouldn't it be visible while the panties are still on?)
Madison: Weird aesthetic impulses. I mean, how could someone think an earring would improve their face or head? Pretty easily, evidently.
David: That's the least useful counter-argument I've ever heard. Considering fingerprints and retinal scanning, the last thing to worry about the Coming Long-Rumoured Police State using to oppress you is a tattoo. Cosmetics can cover them, lasers can remove them, and more ink can modify them.
The emotional reactions here are hysterical, though. Other people's aesthetics must hit a big, throbbing nerve. (They're all sluts with diseases, it appears?)
(Full disclosure: I have no tattoos, [intentionally acquired] scars, or other permanent aesthetically-driven body alterations.)
- X said...
My favorite recent bad tattoo sighting was a frat-boy type who had the Chinese character for 'party' done in the middle of his forearm. 'Party' as in a political party, that is. You do have to admit that that's pretty much the most dignified way to get PARTY tattooed in four-inch-high letters on your forearm, though.
- KCFleming said...
Over time, tattoos seem to blur and fade, which, combined with sagging and wrinkling skin, the inevitable age spots, rosacea, crops of unwanted hair, and layers of knobby fat, creates a most unsavory and unlovely picture.
That cute and pert little lumbar pictogram on the pretty girl all of 20 soon enough becomes a bizarre hex on an obese, hirsute, and intemittently incontinent 50 year old. By 70, the design is a mere grey-blue blob, easily mistaken for a melanoma or a grandchild.
But go for it, 'cause on you it looks good.
No, really.

- Joan said...
I just don't understand the impulse to permanently mark up your body. I especially don't understand those whole-body projects that are so obviously labor-intensive and, at times, beautiful. I predict that someday there will be a sustainable business in tattoo taxidermy.
I still think the most egregious tattoo I've ever seen is Jeffrey Sebelia's caligraphed, wrap-around neck tattoo. Yes, it's sweet that he loves his little boy so much ("Harrison Detroit, l'amor de la mia vita" ), but I pray that he never has another child. There's no way he could ever top the neck-tattoo for kid #2, and it's not as if he could get the tattoo lasered off without Harrison wondering why Daddy doesn't love him anymore.
And now that I'm thinking about, if Italian is anything like French, it should read "l'amor de mia vita", because it actually says "the love of the my life." Anyway, Jeffrey should serve as a cautionary tale to parents everywhere.
- Revenant said...
I wonder what will happen, when they're 50 years old, and all saggy? Ick...
They'll get them removed. Tattoo removal technology is already pretty good, and isn't going to do anything but get better.
Meanwhile, of course, having tattoos is a powerful incentive to exercise and stay fit. :)
- vbspurs said...
And now that I'm thinking about, if Italian is anything like French, it should read "l'amor de mia vita", because it actually says "the love of the my life."
Oh, my God, Joan! My eyes scanned the tattoo previously, and hadn't realised it was Italian, not Spanish (I read "vida" not "vita").
If this chap is going for Italian, the correct spelling is:
"Harrison Detroit, L'amore della mia vita"
Christ, why people don't check these things before (like the "party" one), before BRANDING THEMSELVES for all eternity, is beyond me.
I once had a (British) friend ask me to verify some Portuguese for his friend, who was inexplicably going for a Jesus tattoo with Portuguese writing on it.
It looked awful, but at least it was correct.
- Revenant said...
My favorite recent bad tattoo sighting was a frat-boy type who had the Chinese character for 'party' done in the middle of his forearm. 'Party' as in a political party, that is.
The Chinese character for "party" (as in political party) is used organizations and associations in general. Maybe your frat-boy type got the tattoo to signify that he belonged to an organization.
Like, for example, a fraternity. :)
- vbspurs said...
Ack! I've been trying to post for an hour. Hope this makes it, as it's topical.
Here is Angelina Jolie, dressed to die-for at the Globes...showing off her tattooed back.
The blogger says of the pic:
"We LOVE the difference between back and front when it came to Angelina Jolie at the Globes. She looked like an angel face to face - as elegant as Audrey Hepburn in her prime. (Certainly one of the best dressed of the event. ) But when Angie turned around, she looked like she just hopped off he conveyor belt in the checkout line at Ralph's market.... "
Heh. So true.
- Tante Reny said...
I think the craze started when the usual inks were upgraded to flamboyant colors. Then they were artful expression of the individual. Now it's "I want to be an individual and get a tattoo...like everyone else."

Knits in the City
OK. On to what this post is really about.
Are you wondering what that is? It's an urban art knitted cozie, of course. Several years ago artist Carl Trominski installed a series of "paintings" along both sides of an underpass. At the time of their unveiling, I didn't think very much of them and I still don't. Underneath the knitted cozies, they're just blue fields painted with reflective paint. At first I honestly thought they were installed as a safety measure. They didn't read as visually interesting at all. Sorry, Carl.
Now, I love them.
Local artist, Magda Sayeg, was commissioned to knit cozies for the paintings/traffic signs.
I'm especially appreciative of the fact that the designs she selected for the cozies are very identifiable as traditional knitting patterns. There's a variety of ripple patterns, stripes and granny squares. She's not using knitting as an expedient way to encase these paintings, but using the paintings as a canvas to celebrate knitting.
I think it's inspired and inspiring.
I rode my bike, sans soon-to-be-finished knitting basket, down to the site of the underpass to take these pictures. When I got there, I couldn't help but feel happy that I lived in a place where textiles would be so publicly and proudly displayed.

Isn't it such an improvement on how that underpass normally looks? The city spent so much money on Art in Public Places for something that looks like wordless street signs. They should leave the knitting up year-round. Thanks for reminding me to drive by and check it out in person soon!

Policy 5F: Faculty Leave of Absence While Candidate for or Serving in Public Office [1]
The recommendations of the University Senate concerning leaves of absence for faculty members who become candidates for electives office are as follows:
1. Leave of absence is not required of a faculty member who becomes a candidate for an office of a temporary or part-time nature, generally on a non-paying or token-payment basis, such as membership on a municipal charter revision convention, delegate to a state constitutional convention, a member of a board of education, a member of a city of town council, or a mayor. Election to such an office does not require a leave of absence or a reduction in time for which he is paid by the University.
Only if the duties he undertakes result in neglect of his instructional and other regular duties will the Board of Regents limit such activities of a faculty member.
There are some part-time offices, such as a member of a board of county commissioners, or assistant or associate county judge, that take such a substantial amount of time that more than token compensation is provided. In such cases, leave of absence is not required for campaigning, but after election and at the time office is assumed, the faculty member shall go on such a reduced time basis as may be recommended by his department chairman, dean and the Dean of the Faculties.
2. Leave of absence is not required of a faculty member campaigning for the state legislature or any other post requiring full-time attendance during a minor portion of the year. After election, and during legislative sessions, both regular and special, the faculty member will go on leave of absence without pay. The faculty member shall be permitted to draw his full salary and allowances from his elective position.
Such a faculty member, before taking office shall submit to the president written confirmation from his department chairman, dean and the Dean of Faculties that arrangements have been made to take care of his instructional and other duties while the legislature is in session.
3. Leave of absence is required of a faculty member who seeks public office which demands full-time service, such as Governor, U.S. Representative, or U.S. Senator. Leave without pay will become effective the day after the primary election. If the faculty member is elected, leave shall be extended for one term of office upon the recommendation of his department chairman, dean, and the Dean of the Faculties.
If the faculty member is not elected, his leave without pay ends five days after election day, provided the Department chairman has made arrangements to meet this contingency. If such arrangements have not been made, the leave of absence continues through the semester in which the leave of absence occurs.
In all cases contemplated by categories 1, 2, and 3 above, upon contribution by the faculty member of any sums due by him towards any retirement fund as the same become due, the University shall continue its contributions while the faculty member is on leave of absence.
No participation in any campaign, or service in office upon election, shall adversely affect any salary increases or other benefits to which the faculty member would otherwise be entitled.

Adopted January 21, 1966, pp. 11-12

Yahoo has apologized for its use of scantily clad lap dancers to entertain mainly male software developers and engineers in Taiwan last weekend. The Internet search company Monday acknowledged its politically incorrect step.
"I wanted to acknowledge the public reaction generated by the images of female dancers at our Taiwan Open Hack Day this past weekend," said Chris Yeh of Yahoo's Development Network on the company's blog.
"Our hack events are designed to give developers an opportunity to learn about our ... (programming) and technologies. As many folks have rightly pointed out, the 'Hack Girls' aspect of our Taiwan Hack Day is not reflective of that spirit or purpose. And it's certainly not the message we want to send about our values here at Yahoo! Hack Days are about making everyone feel welcome, including women coders and technologists."
U.S. & World
Yeh said that what happened is "regrettable and we apologize to anyone that we have offended. Rest assured, it won't happen again."
The dancers, wearing bras and miniskirts, performed before the male audience during what has been described as a brainstorming meeting. "Honest, honey, she was just showing me her social networking APIs" was the headline on one blog today.
Photos and videos showing the women pretty much throwing themselves on the men were initially posted on photo-sharing site Flickr, but have since been marked for only "private" viewing.
All Things Digital columnist Kara Swisher noted, "Perhaps worst of all, this kind of thing is not new for Yahoo's hack events in Taiwan, at least, where there seems to be some history of this sort of Pussycat-Dolls-meets-geeks tone.
"It is not clear why all the thumpa-thumpa music and dancing gals did not engender complaints last year," but photos from this year's event may have made a difference.

GIMME SHELTER- Plan-ting ahead: off-season gardening tips
Diane Relf
Horticulture specialist, Virginia Cooperative Extention
Q: With all the warm weather we've been having, I can help thinking about the spring planting season. What can I do now to get ready?
A:You may not think of January as a month to be thinking about gardening, but getting ahead on a few things can make the spring planting season alot easier. Here are a few things to think about in the off-season:
∗Sterilize your tools, pots, and anything you use around your plants. Use one part household bleach to nine parts water. Soak for about 15 minutes, rise, and let dry.
∗Do some reading on trickle irrigation this winter. Installing a trickle system will save you time and water and increase your garden yield.
∗Overhaul your garden sprayer. Inspect leather washers and the plunger and replace any worn parts after thoroughly oiling new leather. It may be difficult to locate exact parts for your sprayer model. By starting now, you'll have them by gardening season.
∗Now is a good time to take advantage of off-season specials on garden tillers or attachments.
∗To clean crusty clay pots, soak them in vinegar to help remove salt deposits. Soaking in a dilute solution of bleach (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) will kill micro-organisms. We do not recommend combining any household chemicals for cleaning purposes, so complete the cleaning in two steps. For heavily crusted pots, scrub with a steel wool pad after soaking for 12 hours.
∗If you have some time this winter, paint the handles of garden tools red or orange. This will preserve the wood and make the tools easier to locate next summer when you lay them down in the garden or on the lawn.
∗Protect liquid insecticides from cold weather to preserve their effectiveness. If any product is stored below the manufacturer's suggested minimum storage temperature, it loses its potency. The most important factor in determining if the product is usable is the complete absence of crystals. If crystals remain after the product returns to room temperature, do not use the product. Dispose of it according to the directions on the label.
∗Move garden ornaments, such as urns or jars, into the garage or basement to prevent damage during the cold winter season. If containers are too large to move, cover them to prevent water collecting in them or turn them upside down during the winter so water will not collect and freeze in them causing breakage.
∗Make your own biodegradable seedling pots from newspapers. For a 3-inch pot, cut a three-layer-thick section of newspaper into a 9-inch square. Divide the paper into nine equal squares, either with a pen or by folding layers into thirds, unfolding them and folding into thirds the other way. Make a cut from along one of the fold lines in each of the four corners to the fold that marks the center square. Bend the flaps up, overlap and staple them and the seedling pot is ready. The pots can be planted in the garden when the seedlings are ready to set out.
∗Another method for making biodegradable pots is to cut strips of heavy paper such as grocery bags to match the height and diameter of the pot you want. For example, a 2-inch -quare pot would require a strip 2 inches wide and 8 inches long. Add approximately 1 inch to the length for overlap. Glue the strips in circles to form a bottomless pot. Fit these into a wooden or plastic flat with sufficiently high sides to give good support and fill them with soil.
∗Add garden record keeping to the list of New Year's resolutions. Make a note of which varieties of flowers and vegetables do best and which do poorly in your garden.

It was a picture-perfect morning Tuesday on the corner of Fallbrook Street and Mission Road, although maybe a little warm if you were wearing firefighting pants and a helmet, as Rob Hager was.
Just before lunchtime, Hager dashed into the lanes of idling cars to collect a dollar bill being waved out of a window. He tucked it into the boot he was holding and smiled a thank you.
Hager was one of hundreds of firefighters taking to the streets around the county this month for the nonprofit Burn Institute's "Give Burns the Boot" fundraiser.
On the first of three days in Fallbrook, engineers and paramedics stood post on various corners to collect donations. Hager said it was his fifth year working an intersection.
"We've been out here since 8," he told me between red lights. "Everyone's chipping in — it's great."
A block away were Battalion Chief Steve Abbott and his wife, Allison. Every time the traffic stopped for a signal change at Fallbrook Street and Main Avenue, the Abbotts were waving down donations and even listening as motorists shared their stories.
"Sometimes you get about 10 seconds, and they take the time to tell you their story — they were a burn victim, worked in a burn unit, had a family member who was burned, something like that," Steve Abbott said. "It's all about helping burned children."
The dollars handed through car windows around town will go to several recovery programs for children, Abbott explained.
The Burn Institute, he said, "handles the camps and psychological counseling — basically, after they get out of the hospital, that's where the institute picks it up."
As a paramedic, Abbott said burn injuries are some of the most difficult calls, because so many involve children.
"It's extraordinarily painful; it's prone to all kinds of complications," he said. "Psychologically, it has quite a toll, especially if it gets the face. And so often, burn injuries in particular are preventable."
Three North County Fire crews were scheduled to canvas Fallbrook for donations this week.
"We're not done yet," Abbott said Tuesday, "but it seems to get going quite well. It's always touching to see the generosity, especially in tough times."
At the end of March, the Fallbrook Firefighters Association will stage a second fundraiser, this time to benefit the local Foundation for Senior Care, as well as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Code 3 for the Cure, which assists active or retired firefighters diagnosed with cancer and facing financial hardship.
North County Fire Protection District firefighter Joel Hammer has coordinated the association's charity golf tournament since 2009, and he said this week that the latest event is scheduled for March 29.
The tournament includes lunch, dinner, cart rentals, green fees and an awards ceremony that evening, with an 11 a.m. check-in at the Golf Club of California.
Hammer said the event draws "all kinds of folks, from firefighters to law enforcement to local business owners and real estate agents.
"We have everything in place," he added. "We just need a few more golfers."
Hammer said Wednesday is the registration deadline. Sign-up forms are at
www.fallbrookfirefighters.org, or call (760) 801-1035. Entry fee is $140.

Maria Perez, director of news operations for ProfNet recently published 7 tips for better writing on her blog.
She starts by saying that good writing is not just about substance. It's often style that is just as important. You might be the most expert of all experts, but nothing will undermine your credibility more than an email/business plan/blog post riddled with errors and typos.
To put your best foot forward and get readers to focus on the substance of your communications, follow these simple tips for improving your writing:
Pick a style, any style. It doesn't matter if it's the AP Stylebook, Chicago Manual of Style or The Elements of Style, pick a style and be consistent with it. I promise it will help your writing.
Write Like You Talk. Or, in the words of Paula Abdul, make it your own. After you're finished writing the article, press release, blog post – whatever – read it out loud. If it sounds stilted, make changes.
Less is More. If you can say something in 10 words instead of 20, do it. That is all.
Use short paragraphs. James Patterson once said his use of short chapters is one of the reasons his books are so successful. You can apply this to your writing with short paragraphs. Long paragraphs make readers think they don't have enough time to read the entire post.
Use bullet points. For the same reason you should write in short paragraphs – posts with long paragraphs could be daunting for many readers – you should consider using bullet points whenever possible. Not only will it make it easier for you to write (especially if you're writing for an online outlet, which often means multiple posts each day), but it's also easier on the reader.
Spllchek. If you wnt pepole to take you serriusly, run a spellchek on whatevr documint you write, wethur a private email or sumthing for publik consumpshion.
Check, and double-check, your facts. If you say your company is the only one making thingamajigs, make sure it's true – especially because things can go viral so quickly nowadays.

1. Give equal treatment to all candidates. Use an unbiased means to determine speaking order (e.g., drawing straws, alphabetical order), and give each speaker the same amount of time. Designate a timekeeper who will signal the speaker when his/her time is up. Be clear about time limits with the candidates before the event starts, and stick strictly to the limits so no one gets shortchanged.
2. Cover a wide range of issues in your questions. You may want to use as guidelines "Goals for the Campaign," included in Faithful Citizenship. Choose a moderator who will ask the questions and make sure that person uses the same wording for each candidate. If you want to take questions from the audience, give people index cards to write them on so their questions can be screened before they are asked.
3. Do not allow candidates to distribute campaign literature during the forum. Let them know ahead of time if you will provide a table at the back where all campaign literature can be displayed.

If you've been using the same regulated gas company for years, with little cause for complaint (aside from gas price hikes), you've probably never suspected that something's amiss with your heating bill. And chances are, you're not getting ripped off. Regulated utilities are watched closely by your state government and, aside from the unlikely event of a meter malfunction, you're probably getting exactly what you pay for. However, there are a number of perfectly legal tactics that utility companies (mostly unregulated) use that ultimately lead to higher consumer costs.
Fixed-rate utility service
Often, consumers actually choose to pay higher prices for home heating. Here's one common scenario: In areas where utility service is offered by more than one provider, some of those companies may have fixed-rate programs, in which the consumer's price for gas stays the same over a given period. While these protect against rate hikes in the market price of gas, fixed rates tend to be higher than non-fixed rates.
Over the long run, if the market price of gas doesn't go up precipitously, fixed-rate customers may pay significantly more than customers with standard plans. Where things tend to get murky is in the marketing of fixed-rate plans. By focusing on, or even exaggerating, the potential for future gas price hikes, some companies try to scare consumers into believing a fixed rate is the only safe and sensible option. It can be argued that a fixed-rate plan is theoretically safer, but there's a good chance it will cost you more in the end.
Protect yourself by doing the math, looking at gas rates in recent years to make an educated guess about the future of gas prices. Also, if an unregulated gas provider claims to be endorsed by any official boards or business commissions, make sure the claims are accurate before considering the company.
Cancellation fees
Always read the fine print of any gas service contract. Regulated providers typically charge a fee for setting up an account, but there shouldn't be a penalty for stopping service at any time. Other companies may charge hefty fees for early withdrawal from a service plan. A high cancellation fee can discourage you from canceling a plan if you realize you're paying more on your monthly bill than you had expected.
Criminal scams
Misleading marketing is legal persuasion, usually playing on people's fears. On the more nefarious side of matters are the outright crooks who take advantage of home heating worries. For example, if someone shows up at your door wearing an official utility company uniform (and even driving an official-looking vehicle) and asks for an overdue payment on your heating bill, kindly show him to the street (leading the way with your foot, if desired). A legitimate utility company will never ask for a payment on the spot, and if yours does, you should suspect their entire operation. If you suspect any activity, simply check it out by calling your utility company's customer service line.
Other scammers will claim to save you money by cleaning and servicing your heating equipment, then they "discover" something seriously wrong with your system that requires expensive repairs or replacement. While it's a good idea to have your furnace cleaned and inspected periodically, this is a maintenance issue, not a huge cost-saving measure. In general, don't hire anyone to work on your system unless you've checked out their company with the local Better Business Bureau, at the very least.
Where to learn more
Every state has a utilities commission, a governmental agency that monitors the rates and services of public and/or private utility companies. Call your local commission or visit its website to learn more about consumer rights and protections. Other places to seek help and information is your state Attorney General's office and any local consumer advocacy organizations.

There has been no shortage of rumors and speculation surrounding Apple's upcoming tablet PC (which for want of a better name will be referred to as the iSlate for the rest of this post), but the most recent talk from multiple sources inside Taiwan's component supply chain is that Apple plans to put a GPU from AMD inside the device. This rumor, however, couldn't get past our editors and so wasn't posted as news on the Digitimes front page, but it is still interesting to speculate how such rumors come into circulation.
As far as we know (and we did ask but received a "no comment" from a company spokesperson), AMD does not currently have any GPUs that support ARM processors. In fact it sold its related assets to Qualcomm in January 2009. Since developments inside AMD are usually leaked out to reporters well ahead of time, it seems highly unlikely that AMD could complete development on a whole new chip without any hints until now.
Second, even supposing AMD could complete initial design on a chip completely in secret, once it comes time to start planning how to manufacture it, AMD would need to let a foundry partner in on the project. Since AMD usually uses Taiwan-based foundries for its GPU manufacturing, the leaks would have started then. In order to get a chip out completely under the radar, AMD would have to be using a different foundry, most likely one of Globalfoundries' or its newly acquired Chartered ones, with a newly tailored process.
Put simply, that is a lot of secrecy and a lot of risk (combining a new chip design with a new manufacturing process only multiplies the number of issues) for Apple to go through, especially when there are already plenty of suitable GPU options for the iSlate available; Nvidia's Tegra or Qualcomm's Snapdragon for example. (If it turns out Apple does go with Snapdragon it would mean the rumors have a kernel of truth since Snapdragon most likely contains at least some IP originally developed by ATI.)
But the most logical supplier for the iSlate's graphics is Imagination Technologies. Apple has investment in Imagination and the company supplies graphics for the iPhone. Additionally, Imagination already has products available, such as its PowerVR SGX545, that are capable of meeting the expected needs of the iSlate in terms of 3D and multimedia performance.
With Apple already having several GPU options to power its iSlate, the idea that it has commissioned AMD to roll a whole new one seems like a joke. However, since there are no definites in the IT industry, we'll just have to wait until January 27 to find out.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 227 diseños de 45 diseñadores freelance.
Zander Kane
want to keep the family updated with a small blog about our newborn son. Would love to have a cool looking logo for his site -- ZanderKane.com --
so - we're fun, 30 yr old parents, kinda modern / contemporary / semi-city type people. Live in NJ / originally from philly / work in philly and NYC, caucasian.
our family - and if the logo's good enough maybe he'll use it one day when he takes over the world... or marries a supermodel... or solves world hunger. no pressure Z.
prefer horizontal oriented (but not 100% positive on this), should be a Very cool logo to use on his website/blog. Has to say his name (Zander Kane) -- may or may not incorporate the .com
funky / contemporary / modern / hip -- but with a baby feel.
to give perspective - his room has a sign in it from Fudge Design in NZ, an eames elephant, flensted elephant mobile, and an ugly doll. i don't know why i'm mentioning it - but maybe it'll help you see what we like.
his walls are a color called clear blue sky.
try not to use animals in designs - even though I did mention what was in the room in the brief had some animals. just focus on making very amazing logo out of the words / type treatment
i like creative implementations of the words more than I do the first two examples which were just a standard font with some clip art elements. would prefer to make the words themselves the focus of the design - not the "extras" around it. for instance - i like the way the letters in the twitter logo look, because the focus/design is primarily the font / arrangement of the letters.
Something with a lightning bolt might be cool. Or super hero-ish with a cape or something. Like the z has a cape coming off it. Just a thought starter not the only ideas I would like to see.

Yep, that's right. Sharrontology wants to abolish Medicare. Well, at least that's what she said last year, back when Sharrontology was Sharrontology and RNC/NRSC campaign minders weren't monitoring her... But what happens when the minders are gone? Most likely, it's back to the same ol' Obtuse Angle that Nevadans remember her as.
No wonder why more and more Nevada seniors have had enough of Obtuse Angle's wackadoodle "ideas" on Medicare and Social Security.
Sharron Angle is just too extreme for all of us in Nevada, including our seniors who deserve a safe retirement.

African Cinema's Growing Market
The Pan African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO), is the largest and most popular film festival in Africa—next week, leaders in the film industry will host a West Coast Discussion here in the U.S. dealing with the challenges and opportunities in meeting the needs of the global cinema marketplace at FESPACO.
Discussions will be headed by Rashid Bahati, senior vice president of development and acquisitions for Lead Dog Entertainment, Inc.
Entitled "The New Standard,� the panel discussion will focus on new thinking for Black cinema in the areas of international distribution, marketing, technology and finance. "We are extremely excited about participating in one of the largest and oldest festivals on the African continent FESPACO which is also a Film and Television Market for African content,� says Bahati. "With the globalization of content distribution FESPACO has become a growing market to access film content that wouldn't be assessable to a western audience.�
He says Lead Dog Entertainment's business model as a distribution company is to gain license rights to new film content which expresses the global Black experience and provide it to audiences here in the US and other western markets. The panel will include top industry leaders from the African Diaspora, including Zoe Elton, director of programming at the Mill Valley (CA) Film Festival; Cornelius Moore, director of the California Newsreel Library of African Cinema; Kevin Arkadle, producer at Ivory Coast Pictures; Sonya Childress, director of outreach for Firelight Media; and Dr. Maude M. Dikobe, professor of African Diaspora Studies at the University of Botswana.

I've recently been playing around with some iOS code, and while I find Xcode an excellent editor with a lot of great built-ins, I'm a vim user at heart. It's the editor I've been using on a daily basis for years, so its tough to switch when I want to do iPhone development. Of course there are some things you just have to use Xcode for, but I've been able to tailor vim to do most of my dev work, as well as build and run the simulator on the command line. I couldn't find a single cohesive tutorial on this, so these are the pieces I put together to make this work for me.
The Vim Cocoa Plugin
To start, there is a decent plugin called cocoa.vim to get some of the basics going. It attempts to do a lot of things but I'm only using it for a few specific things – the syntax highlighting, the method list, and the documentation browse functionality.
One caveat is the plugin is not very well maintained, given the last release is nearly 2 years ago. Because of this you'll want to grab the version from my github:
git clone https://firstname.lastname@example.com/jgoulah/cocoa.vim.git
Install it by following the simple instructions in the README.
You'll get the syntax highlighting by default, and the method listing is pretty straightforward. While you have a file open you can type :ListMethods and navigate the methods in the file. Of course you may want to map this to a key combo, here's what I have in my .vimrc for this, but of course you can map to whatever you like:
map <leader>l :ListMethods
There's another command that you can use called :CocoaDoc that will search the documentation for the keyword and open it in your browser. For example, you can type :CocoaDoc NSString to open the documentation for NSString in your browser. However OS X gives a warning every time, which is pretty annoying. You can disable this on the command line:
defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO
After you've run the command, restart your Finder (or reboot). Lastly, it would be annoying to type the keyword every time, so you can configure a mapping in your .vimrc so that it will try to launch the documentation for the word the cursor is on:
map <leader>d :exec("CocoaDoc ".expand("<cword>"))<CR>
One of the biggest things I miss when I'm in Xcode is the functionality you get from ctags. Of course you can right click on a function and "jump to definition". Works fine, but feels clunky to me. I love being able to hop through code quickly with ctags commands. I've talked about this before, so I'm not going to give a full tutorial about ctags, but I'll quickly go over how I made it work for my code.
First go ahead and grab the version from github that includes Objective-C support:
git clone https://github.com/mcormier/ctags-ObjC-5.8.1
Compile and install in the usual way. Now you can utilize it to generate yourself a tags file. Mine looks like this:
Just a little explanation here, I'm going into my working directory and generating a tags file for both MyApp and ios_frameworks. ios_frameworks is just a symlink that points to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks
If you're interested in how I load up these tag files you can check out my .vimrc on github.
Another handy feature from I wanted to emulate was flipping between the header and source file. Luckily there is yet another vim plugin that will do this for you called a.vim.
Grab it off github and install it by dropping it in your ~/.vim/plugin directory:
git clone https://github.com/vim-scripts/a.vim.git
cp a.vim/plugin/a.vim ~/.vim/plugin
There's a tiny bit of configuration that you can put in .vim/ftplugin/objc.vim:
let g:alternateExtensions_m = "h"
let g:alternateExtensions_h = "m"
map <leader>s :A
This just tells it which files to use for source and header files and creates another shortcut for us to swap between the two.
Build and Run
So now that we've got most of the basic things that help us edit code, its time to build the code. You can use xcodebuild for this on the command line. If you type xcodebuild –usage you can see the variety of options. Here's what worked for me to build my target app, noting that I setup everything in Xcode first and made sure it built there. After that you can just specify the target, sdk, and configuration. This will create a build under the Debug configuration for the iPhone simulator:
xcodebuild -target "MyApp Enterprise" -configuration Debug -project MyApp.xcodeproj -sdk iphonesimulator5.0
And now to run the app. Back to github there's a nice little app called iphonesim. Download that and just build it with xcode:
git clone https://github.com/jhaynie/iphonesim.git
open iphonesim.xcodeproj
Put the resulting binary somewhere in your PATH like /usr/bin.
Now we can launch the app we just built in the simulator:
iphonesim launch /Users/jgoulah/wdir/MyApp/build/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyAppEnterprise.app
Last thing you'll want are logs. Another thing that is arguably more easily accessible in Xcode, but we actually can get the console log. If you're using something like NSLog to debug this will grab all of that output. You'll have to add a couple lines to your main.m source file:
NSString *logPath = @"/some/path/to/output.log";
freopen([logPath fileSystemRepresentation], "a", stderr);
And then you can run tail -f /some/path/to/output.log
This is how I use vim to compile iPhone apps. Your mileage may vary and there are many ways to do this, it just happens to be the path that worked well for me without having to pull my hair out too much. Xcode is a great editor and there are some things that you will have to use it for such as the debugging capabilities and running the app on the phone itself. Of course even these are possible with some work, so if anyone has tips feel free to leave a comment.

For all its Brutalist charm and rigid adherence to the now-outmoded 'streets in the sky' concept, Robin Hood Gardens was an easy target for those who call architects hypocrites eager to champion crumbling estates they wouldn't dare live in themselves. Many of the current residents can't wait to be rid of it: a consultation in 2008 found that over 75% supported its demolition. — londonist.com

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. – His gang called him "King Lop;" the women in his house called him "boss" and he called them his "Diamond Kitties."
But everything erupted inside the mansion where he lived, when one of his Diamond Kitties, a 20-year-old mother who feared for her life, called 911 alleging that King Lop, aka 33-year-old Kenndric Roberts, was holding her and seven other women captive, forcing them to work as strippers and threatening their lives if they left.
"It's house of full of girls and... if I try to leave, he'll try to kill me," the young woman told the 911 dispatcher at 7:31 a.m.
AUDIO/TRANSCRIPT: Terrified 20-year-old makes desperate call from million-dollar home
But her life as a Diamond Kitty started a month ago.
The woman, who we are not naming because she is considered a victim in the case that's under investigation by the FBI, was living in Orlando, Fla., when she started searching for her Prince Charming on the dating site, SeekingArrangement.com—a site that catered to "sugar babies" searching for "sugar daddies."
NEW: EXCLUSIVE | Alleged human trafficking victim: 'I was just a little puppet'
Roberts, she told authorities, contacted her through the dating site.
At first, she ignored his advances, however, she eventually gave into his messages. He allegedly told her that he had "Diamond Kitties" who worked for him, as well as his company, Live Star Nation, which, he told her manages athletes and models.
MORE | Alleged human trafficking victim met 'boss' on dating website
According to court documents, in mid-January, she met with Roberts, whom she would later refer to as her "boss," at his lavish home at 100 Strauss Lane in Sandy Springs, Ga. She said she stayed with him in the sprawling mansion for three days to "feel things out."
Everything seemed like a dream come true.
EXCLUSIVE | Alleged human trafficking victim speaks: 'I was just a little puppet'
Roberts doted on her, treated her well and she decided she would move in with him to work for him promoting his business.
The young mother, who just turned 20 in December, traveled back to Orlando, grabbed her stuff and her son, and returned to Roberts' million-dollar mansion, where seven other women and two children, who were 2- and 3-years-old, were also living.
At that time, she said, she and the other women living there, signed a contract with Roberts, and were promised a $200,000 signing bonus, as well as another $150,000 once they completed the contract. However, there was no end date stated on the contract.
Once she signed on the dotted line, she said, she was sent to the Dominican Republic and received a breast augmentation, with a price tag of $10,000.
The other women living with Roberts, she said, were sent to work at the Pink Pony, Mardi Gras, Oasis, nearby strip clubs, as dancers. They too were recruited through the dating website, as well as through his company, Live Star Nation's Instagram page and other strip clubs.
While showered with gifts like purses, shoes and lingerie, she said he would take all the money that they made while dancing, immediately following their shift. He allegedly told the girls that even though he was pillaging their wages and tips, he would double their bonus at the end of the contract. However, they were prohibited to keep any of their money earned.
Upon her return from the Dominican Republic, her phone and ID were taken and she was given a "company phone." Her assignment was to start working at Flashers, another strip club located in Sandy Springs.
She and the other women, she recounted, were not allowed to speak to any black men at the clubs, and that Roberts had people staked out, watching them at the clubs while they worked. She said that she was also prohibited from talking to any of her friends from before her time at the mansion.
And threats were made often, she said.
With an AK47 on him at all times, Roberts, she said, told her that he was going to pay someone to slice open her chest, remove her implants and then chop her up. Among the many threats to her, she said, he also threatened to hurt the other women's families.
He kept cameras rolling in the house to keep a close eye on everything that happened.
All of the women in the house were having sex with Roberts, she said. And while she didn't feel forced to have sex, she didn't believe that saying, "no" to him was an option.
Alleged victim's mother: He said, 'I will find you and kill you' like you
To show solidarity, she and the other women in his home received matching tattoos on their wrists—also pledging allegiance and homage to the gang that Roberts is affiliated with, the Gangster Disciple.
The tattoos included the letters, "LOP," for "Loyalty Over Pride," at the top of their wrist, with the numbers "12 15 16 14" below.
She had another tattoo on her other wrist with the letters, "SOS," referring to the gang affiliation again and the abbreviation for "Sisters of Struggle." Below the letters were the numbers, "19 15 19." While she said, they were not forced to get the tattoos, they had to have the tattoos to live in the mansion.
Their tattoos match a tattoo on his chest, "12 L 15 O 16 P 14."
It all came to an end with this Diamond Kitty called the police, scared and frantic for help.
"I'm in a very bad situation and I need to get out," she told the 911 dispatcher early Tuesday morning.
Dispatcher: Well, why does he threaten to kill you if you leave?
Caller: When I came here, it was like a situation where you come and you work and you have girls dance. And the girls make money from dancing, and then…
Dispatcher: OK, so you and the girls dance for money at this house?
Caller: Yeah, I haven't started yet. I just got here. I've been here for about a month, and he had me go get, like, plastic surgery…
Caller: The only thing I'm the only one who wants to leave. Everyone else wants to be here. So everyone else is fine. Like he doesn't threaten them. He mostly just threatens them…(unintelligible) but because I had to have surgery to be here or something, and he threatens me the most.
Dispatcher: What does he threaten the other females with?
Caller: Oh just little stuff, like, "Well you don't take care of your kid right" and this and that. And they do. They really do… He'll threaten them with little things or he'll threaten to send them home.
Caller: No. The other thing is he doesn't do anything illegal. Like nothing he does is illegal. It's just the fact that I'm scared to leave.
Dispatcher: And the fact that he said he would kill you if you left.
Caller: Yeah, but I have no proof of that, that's why I never said anything.
Dispatcher: And when did he say that?
Caller: I don't know. Many times.
Dispatcher: OK, does he know that holding someone against their will is against the law?
Caller: He thinks he's so smart. He knows exactly what he's doing. He'll tell you, he'll tell you,
"You can leave whenever you want, and then he'll threaten you right after." You'll be like, "I want do to this, this and that," and he's like, "You're free to leave. You can leave."
But this time, she did.
When police arrived at the home they found eight women, ranging from 19 to 23 years old, being held against their will. With the assistance of the FBI, Roberts was arrested Tuesday.
RELATED | Human trafficking suspect allegedly holds 8 women captive in million-dollar home
Sandy Springs Police Department charged Roberts with six counts of false imprisonment, six counts of trafficking person for labor or servitude and two counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
An AK47 pistol and a Glock .45 cal. handgun were recovered during the investigation. And a total of eight adult females were assisted with leaving the residence.
RELATED | Suspect in human trafficking case called 911 the morning of his arrest
After the initial 911 call, five additional victims came forward, bringing the total number of alleged victims, named in the case, to six.
"We believe that he'd been making promises to some of these ladies for modeling careers, financial assistance," Sandy Springs Police Sgt. Sam Worsham said.
FBI: More victims possible in Sandy Springs human trafficking case
Roberts is being held at the Fulton County Jail and waived his first appearance hearings on both Thursday for original charges and Friday for new charges.
There was no bond and he is being represented by the Public Defender's Office. His next court date is scheduled for March 24.
The FBI believes that there may be more victims.
As the investigation continues, any other victims or persons with additional information can contact the Sandy Springs Police Department or the FBI at (404) 679-9000.

Selectmen signed an order for a Special Town Meeting to be held on March 5 for the referendum question, "Shall the Town vote to change its Road Commissioner function from two elected Road Commissioner positions to one appointed Road Commissioner/Public Works Superintendent position, to be appointed by the Board of Selectmen and having a term of three years with said change to be phased in as follows: the newly appointed Road Commissioner/Public Works Superintendent shall oversee the Northern part of Town effective upon the 2013 annual town meeting and shall oversee the entire Town effective upon the 2015 annual town meeting, when the term of the elected Road Commissioner for the Southern part of Town expires, or immediately, in the event that the office becomes vacant before the expiration of said term?"
Discussions between the Acton Board of Selectmen and the Acton Ambulance Association about the possible consolidation of the association with the local fire department have come to a halt as a result of current differences between the involved parties.
Under the consolidation, the association's building would be turned over to the town.
Selectmen have notified the Ambulance Association that they will have no further communication unless they receive a written request from at least five members of the association's boards; a prepared budget for the coming fiscal year; a spreadsheet with current expenses and revenues; and a status report of the condition, mileage and estimated replacement cost for the ambulance.
Selectmen held an open house to meet and greet Acton's new sheriff's deputy, Daniel Shaw, on Thursday, Jan. 10, at the Acton Town Hall. About 50 residents attended.
The 2012 Annual Town Report has been dedicated to Lorraine Yeaton for her 29 years of service to the town of Acton.
Yeaton has served as selectman, General Assistance administrator, and secretary to the selectmen. She was presented with a bouquet of flowers and complimentary copies of the Town Report.
Paul Poyant, the chairman of the Acton Warrant and Finance Committee, has announced that a school budget workshop meeting will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at the Acton Elementary School at 6 p.m.
There are two vacant positions for alternate members on the Warrant and Financce Committee, and Poyant hopes that people will volunteer soon so they can be assured of having a full board.
The Mary Grant Committee will meet at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the Acton Town Hall.
The committee is responsible for creating programs and special events to be held at the Mary Grant Nature Preserve on Sam Page Road. There are still openings for volunteers to serve on the committee, so please feel free to attend this meeting if you think you are interested in joining.
Former Acton Fire Chief Harold Smith was the guest speaker when the OWLS (Older, Wiser, Liberated Seniors) met for a meal of beef stew and fellowship at the Acton Town Hall on Jan. 9.
Smith spoke about the Yellow Dot Program, in which a motorists' medical and contact information are placed into the glove compartment of a person's car to help in case of emergencies. A "yellow dot" is stuck on the car owner's window to alert rescuers that such information is available inside the car in the event of an accident.
The OWLS will meet at the town hall on Jan. 23 for coffee. They will have their next luncheon on Feb. 13; everyone is asked to bring a valentine.
Millie Fulton died on Jan. 6 at age of 83.
Millie and her husband, Glen, lived on Fulton Road, just off the H Road, on Great East Lake. Glen died two years ago.
Millie was a beautiful lady, full of fun, and a meticulous housekeeper and cook. She and Glen were members of the Acton Congregational Church.
She will be sadly missed.

Full Spectrum CBD Oil vs Isolate CBD Oil
What is the difference between Full Spectrum (Whole Plant) & Isolate Hemp Oil? Full Spectrum (Whole Plant), describes a product which utilizes the full hemp plant, keeping intact the full synergistic properties of its rich terpenes, secondary cannabinoids and fatty acids to interact with and enhance the properties of CBD. Isolated Hemp, describes a product that utilizes only the stock of the hemp plant. These products strip out any other cannabinoids, terpenes and fatty acids found in the Trichomes of the plant. The only remaining component is 'crystals' of CBD. This product looks like a white powder and does not contain any other naturally occurring parts of the plant from which it came. At the risk of overgeneralizing, these products seem to degrade the synergistic qualities nature originally provided.
Our Full Spectrum CBD Oil is made up of multiple cannabinoids, such as, CBD, CBG, CBN or CBC. Essentially, full spectrum can be compared to a multi-vitamin. Isolate contains only one cannabinoid.
We only carry Full Spectrum CBD Oil products. Full Spectrum CBD Oil has been proven to have substantially more benefits for medicinal purposes. The simple fact that full spectrum uses the complete plant to include all of the 85 cannabinoids and terpenes allowing the patient to receive full benefits of the CBD Oil product. Numerous studies have been conducted that clearly indicate Full Spectrum CBD clearly reaps the most beneficial results when using for medicinal purposes. Tahoe CBD Oil does not carry any Isolate CBD Oil products based on the data we received from various research and side by side comparison studies.

Studies are being conducted and advancements are being made to the full spectrum extracts. Israel is leading the world right now in the study of Cannabinoid research particularly with full spectrum extracts. An interesting study was published out of the Lautenberg Center for General and Tumor Immunology in Jerusalem. The study examines the effectiveness of administering isolated cannabinoid extracts (a CBD-only formula) versus whole plant extracts (which contain the full range of the plant's cannabinoid content). The study sought to compare the effectiveness of a completely purified CBD extract versus a full spectrum extract of cannabis flowers containing large quantities of CBD.
The conclusion of the study was that the whole plant extract, which contained a large percentage of CBD but also contained traces of the other cannabinoids, proved far more effective than CBD-only solutions in alleviating inflammation and pain sensation. The study demonstrated that a whole plant extract, containing the entire range of cannabinoids present in raw cannabis, will continue to provide relief for inflammation as the dose is increased. When supplied as an isolated cannabinoid extract, CBD on its own yielded a bell-curve of effectiveness, which is not desirable for medical treatments seeking effective relief that corresponds with the dosage.

Things Not to Try at a Mall - Escalator Helicoptors
(Photo illustration using Thinkstock) Escalator Helicoptors, the new thing
Next time you're at your local mall picking up some underpants or a smoothie, make sure to keep an eye on the escalators—you might just catch a bozo or two trying to pull off the latest YouTube trend, Escalator Helicoptoring.
What are Escalator Helicoptors? It's when someone decides to lie prone on their back on both an up and down escalator handrail, and let the up-and-down motions twirl them around. Like a helicoptor.
Observe, below, examples of people doing it wrong (most funny), people doing it just-okay, and people doing it right. The guy in the first video wound up having to pay the mall $3,700 in damages, so, uh, don't try this at home, kids.
Escalator Helicoptor - You're Doing It Wrong:
