COLUMBUS, OH, December 05, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Central Ohio Home & Garden Show is pleased to announce that acclaimed garden editor and writer, James Baggett, will share his horticultural knowledge and experience when he appears at the 2011 Central Ohio Home & Garden Show. Baggett will appear on the Garden Stage, at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday, February 26.
Having worked closely with some of the most influential people in gardening, it's no surprise that Baggett possesses a powerful passion for gardening, inspired by those around him. Home & Garden show guests will learn more about five gardening "stars" who influenced Baggett, and gardening in general. During his appearance, Baggett will illustrate how these stars of gardening built their own spectacular gardens. He'll share their stories, along with images and descriptions of their stunning and unparalleled personal gardens.
These five women, in part responsible for Baggett' s infatuation with gardening, are among the most well known and well respected in gardening: Barbara Damrosch is a weekly columnist for The Washington Post and authored the Garden Primer and Theme Gardens. Anne Raver is the Garden Columnist for the New York Times. Tovah Martin, a famous horticulturalist, is also a freelance writer, lecturer and author of The New Terrarium. Garden and food writer, Rosalind Creasy also works as a garden photographer and landscape designer with a focus on edible gardens. Gardening author Sharon Lovejoy is also a garden illustrator, lecturer and design consultant known for her "Hearts Ease" column in Country Living Gardner Magazine.
Baggett has been a garden editor and writer for more than 15 years. He now edits Country Gardens magazine after serving as editor of Perennials and the founding editor of Nature's Garden magazines, both Better Homes and Gardens Special Interest Publications. Baggett is also former Executive Editor of Country Living Gardener and Rebecca's Garden magazines. He is the author of Flower Arranging, a Best of Martha Stewart Living Book (Oxmoor House) and the former garden editor of American Homestyle & Gardening. Baggett recently relocated with his dog Scout from New York City -- where he tended a 10 x 20-foot garden behind an 1850 brownstone -- to Des Moines, where the lawn in front of his Arts & Crafts bungalow is slowly being replaced with flowerbeds.
Due to the Central Ohio Home & Garden Show's popularity, show management has extended the hours to accommodate day trips, corporate and social groups and clubs. The new times for the show will be noon to 8 p.m. weekdays, Tuesday through Friday, and an hour earlier at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

Government to Pay $11.5 Million to Brain Damaged Child and Injured Mom
2010-12-05
United States District Judge Clay D. Land recently ordered the United States of America to pay Mary Bilbrey and her profoundly injured son, Anthony Bilbrey, more than $11.5 million after United States Postal Service (USPS) employee Randy Malcom was found negligent in the operation of his mail delivery truck.
On December 22, 2006, after an early morning of Christmas shopping at Walmart and a breakfast stop at Hardee's, Mary Bilbrey - who was eight and a half months pregnant at the time - and her fiance, Jason Murray, were driving to their Monroe, Georgia home.

Actor Tom Sizemore's Ex-Girlfriend Drops Protective Order
2010-12-05
Tom Sizemore's ex-girlfriend, Jinele McIntire, recently decided to drop the current protective order request against the actor. Some speculate that this unexpected decision is proof of the falsity of McIntire's claims.
In June of this year, McIntire was awarded a restraining order against the actor after alleging that Sizemore assaulted her in the face, head and stomach while she attempted to discuss child support owed to her for their five-year-old twin sons.
The facts surrounding this case strongly demonstrate that McIntire simply filed the order as a way to bride ...
Improper Use of Child Safety Seats Can Be Disastrous
2010-12-05
Arizona recently recognized Child Passenger Safety Week, and during that time, parents and motorists around the state were reminded about some key points to help keep children safe in the car.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that nearly 75 percent of all child safety seats are improperly installed or used. The failure to use the seats in the recommended fashion could leave a child vulnerable to injury in the unfortunate event of a crash. Children in Arizona seem particularly vulnerable, with the state having the dubious distinction ...
"Sexting" May Lead to Criminal Consequences
2010-12-05
The latest gossip, according to RadarOnline, is that the Tony Parker and Eva Longoria-Parker divorce stemmed from a lengthy "sexting" relationship Tony had with a former teammate's wife, Erin Barry. It is likely that Parker will join the ranks of other celebrities, such as Tiger Woods and Brett Favre, who have been enveloped in drama-filled sexting scandals.
Sexting, by all practical evaluations, has gained mainstream attention with these high-profile incidents. "Sexting" is the texting of sexually explicit or scandalous messages and pictures. For many seeking to cheat ...
How Courts View Pets: Personal Property or Part of the Family
2010-12-05
Household pets often play an integral role in their owners' lives. Some are even viewed as equal members of the family, eating gourmet food, drinking bottled water, wearing clothes and sleeping in their owners' beds. When it comes to the treatment of animals, though, there is a disconnect between the way people view their pets and the way the law views them.
Historically the law has regarded pets as personal property. Accordingly, there were no legal claims possible for veterinary malpractice, negligent infliction of emotional distress or loss of companionship after ...
Legal Permanent Residents Facing Deportation for Voting?
2010-12-05
The highly publicized case of New York resident Joseph E. Joseph is drawing attention to the unusual plight of some of America's legal permanent residents. Mr. Joseph learned the hard way that just because you have a green card does not mean you have the right to vote. In spite of the fact that Mr. Joseph has been in America since 1984, he is now facing deportation for a violation of United States' voting laws.
Mr. Joseph's situation is sadly not unique. New York's Legal Aid Society reports they have seen a number of nearly identical cases in recent years. The cases ...
Stay Awake, Stay Alive
2010-12-05
According to the surprising results of the 2010 Traffic Safety Culture Index -- a survey conducted by the American Automobile Association Foundation -- a full 41 percent of study participants admit nodding off behind the wheel. One out of every ten drivers say they have done so in the past year alone.
This troubling information comes even as more information is brought to light about the effects of fatigue on the body. Scientific studies have found that driving while sleepy is akin to driving while intoxicated, as both create slowed reaction times, impaired judgment ...
Government Report Shows Hundreds Dead After Airbags Failed to Deploy
2010-12-05
A never-before-released report recently unveiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that between 2001 and 2006 hundreds of fatal motor vehicle accidents across the country involved non-deploying airbags. The study, reviewed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found nearly 600 wrecks where fatalities would likely have been prevented had the airbag functioned properly. Several potential causes of the non-deployment were seen, including:
- Faulty sensors
- Incorrect assembly of component parts
- Wiring failures, including ...
Travel Safety Recommendations Left to Languish
2010-12-05
A thorough investigation by News21 and the Center for Public Integrity has found that one of every six safety recommendations proposed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) since 1967 has gone unfulfilled. Other recommendations eventually have been implemented only after years of delay. Many factors contribute to this lack of adoption that leaves the door open for additional tragic and possibly preventable truck accidents , airplane crashes and other transportation accidents.
The National Transportation Safety Board
The NTSB is an independent federal ...
Situations Involving Repressed Memories Pose Unique Legal Challenges
2010-12-05
A statute of limitations is a law which limits the amount of time in which a lawsuit can be brought after the event which gives rise to the suit occurs. For example, a personal injury lawsuit in Illinois generally must be initiated within two years of the injury. For misdemeanor criminal charges, the state generally has eighteen months to initiate charges.After that time, the statute of limitations has expired and legal claims cannot be pursued.
At first glance, these sorts of restrictions may seem unfair, but they serve several practical purposes. As time passes evidence ...
