Two Naples boat captains are headed to court to make a point. They want to settle a decade-long argument about the Naples Bay speed zones. The duo says if they win, the city will have to pay up.
Captains Mike Bailey and Jim Rinckey spend hours every day on the water.
They're up at dawn loading fishing gear onto their boats, and are cleaning up after a long day at sundown.
Both captains say they waste too much time slowing down for Naples Bay speed zones.
"It takes up my client's time, it takes up my time, it takes up the time on my engines," said Bailey.
When they went out on the water last month, they decided to speed in a slow speed zone – on purpose.
"I came planing by officer and he pulled me over said, 'What are you doing this for?' I said, 'We need to get this in front of judge,'" said Bailey.
"It was on purpose to try to get the ticket," said Rinckey.
Bailey and Rinckey want to challenge the boat speed zones. They say the city is illegally enforcing a law that was thrown out years ago.
In 2004 the city repealed the slow speed zones to make way for a new law that expanded them, but a judge ruled against the new law.
Opponents say that means the old law is no longer in effect.
"It's illegal to enforce a law that isn't a law," said Rinckey.
The boat captains say since the city doesn't have a law to back up the tickets they got, those tickets should be thrown out.
"We just disagree with that," said Naples City Manager Bill Moss.
Moss says the tickets are valid because the original speed zones are still in effect.
"What we really have is couple boat captains that just don't want to slow down," said Moss.
"We've hired an attorney, we're going to contest the ticket, put it in front of a judge," said Rinckey.
Wednesday the captains' attorney filed a motion to dismiss the tickets.
If they win, the city will have to stop enforcing the slow speed zones and those issued tickets could get their money back.
"Anyone issued a citation under an illegal or unconstitutional ordinance could go back and try to get their money returned to them," said attorney Donald Day.

BOILING SPRING LAKES, NC (WECT) – Some are calling for the mayor of Boiling Spring Lakes to resign following allegations of sexual misconduct.
Mayor Richard White was charged Monday with sexual battery and assault on a female.
At a regularly-scheduled town meeting tonight, some residents spoke up, calling for White to give up his post.
Mayor Pro-Tem Charlie Carroll said despite a couple citizens speaking about the allegations against the mayor during a public comment period, the meeting was "business as usual."
He called it premature to ask White to step down, considering he has not been found guilty of a crime.
"At this point, because there are allegations only, there was no consideration of taking action," he said.
Curtis Ledbetter, a former police captain who worked under White when he was the chief of the department, is one of the residents who said White should step down.
"It is time for Richard to do the right thing, resign from office and leave town, so we can get back to a normal situation here," he said. Of the allegations against White, Ledbetter said, "It has been going on for years, ever since he was a police chief."
According to court documents, in 2000, White was named in a lawsuit brought against the town by a former police officer, who claimed White made false and malicious statements about him. After he resigned, the officer, Christopher James Alexander, claimed that White was "sexually harassing female citizens of the town" and reported these accusations to the State Bureau of Investigation. As a result, Alexander claims White made false statements about him in retaliation that prevented Alexander from finding employment.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - If the name Oksana Masters is familiar it may be because she is quickly becoming an athletic Louisville legend, plus she and her former US Marine rowing partner Rob Jones became one of the biggest stories at the London 2012 Paralympics games.
"I can't believe the things she does," Oksana's mother Gay Masters said proudly.
Her mother has been amazed by her daughter's spirit and determination since she adopted her at the age of 7 and brought her home to Louisville from the Ukraine.
"She's a child that if you told her no she had to make it yes," laughed Masters. She continued sharing stories of her childhood and the determination that has her in her second Paralympics games.
When Oksana arrived in Louisville her mom set up a swing set for her to play on, but after Oksana continued to fall off the play set she told her daughter, "Maybe you need to have thumbs to be able to hang on and play." She explained to her daughter she could always find something else to do.
Gay Masters explained what Oksana did next, "She learned to hand walk across our swing set with only fingers and no thumbs. Not being able to do it was not an answer she was going to take. She got someone else to help her get up there and she showed me she could do it."
That attitude has served her well. The rowing tandem team of Masters and Jones earned a bronze medal for the duo at the London games in the trunk and arms mixed double sculls. It also earned Masters the title of U.S. Rowing Female Athlete of the Year for 2012. Now the 24 year old is reaching for a different goal or a different gold.
"She only started skiing in December 2012," sounding surprised herself about her daughter's accomplishments as she boasted.
Just a little over a year in skis Gay Masters said of Oksana, "She's qualified to ski six races!"
Oksana qualified for six different cross country or biathlon events and will represent team USA and Louisville, Kentucky in the Sochi Paralympics Games.
"She's gonna do five events. Two of which she's bronzed medaled in at world," Masters proclaimed.
Oksana is not sure she wants to take on the longest biathlon event. The length of the biathlon in question will be decided in Sochi. Oksana will be competing despite the difficulties she faces being a bilateral above the knee amputee.
"There's a lot of technological issues. Those knees break, feet break," Oksana's mother said in the voice of a worried mother.
"She survived a lot. She has so many birth defects that the only explanation is probably some kind of exposure in uteri to radiation," Masters explained.
What Oksana's mother exposed her to here in Louisville was much more powerful than anything in her life so far. Always there to cheer her on, cheer her up and see her make it through anything she decided to conquer.
Masters stressed to Oksana, "You know the only person you're going to disappoint is yourself. You're not going to disappoint anybody else. You're doing more than anybody ever expected you to do."
In December of 2013, at the 2013 International Paralympics Committee World Cup in Canmore, Alberta, Masters won her first medal. She won a bronzed medal in the 5-kilometer race. At the U.S. Paralympics Nordic Nationals, Oksana Masters won three of the four events she competed in. Her list of national magazine and television stories, medals and awards are beginning to far outnumber what some would call her disabilities.
"She did not have the weight bearing bone between her knee and foot on either side. Her fingers were fused at birth and her toes were fused at birth. She had six of them. She had five fingers but no thumbs. We found out she has a horseshoe shaped kidney so she just has one kidney," Masters listed one by one.
"If you watch her closely when she's skiing, they have to tape her poles to her hands even with the wrist loop that you use. She would lose it. She would lose the pole," Masters explained. Masters doesn't expect her daughter to lose the race. Whatever happens she will be there to cheer her on in Sochi.
NBC and NBCSN will combine to air 50 hours of television coverage for March's Sochi 2014 Paralympics winter games, starting on March 7 with the opening ceremony. It will be followed by daily coverage of all five Paralympics sports in the Sochi program, before the games' closing ceremony is broadcast on March 16.
Proud as an NBC peacock Maters exclaimed, "That's unprecedented. It's about time."

Police warning over taxi thefts
Police are alerting taxi drivers to a spate of vehicle thefts in Newcastle over recent months.
– Newcastle East Neighbourhood Inspector Louise Cass-Williams, Northumbria Police
"We need taxi drivers and indeed all drivers to help us stop this type of crime by making sure that they take all valuables out of their cars whenever they leave them.
"This type of theft can be carried out in seconds and it's not good enough to just hide money and valuables under seats or in glove compartments as thieves know where to look. Drivers should remove everything, ensure their vehicle is locked when it's left and report any suspicious behaviour to police."

2014 Breck Epic: Final Day!0
Yesterday was the final stage of racing at the 2014 Breck Epic for Amy Thomas. Catch all of her stage recaps here!
It's really hard to believe today was the last day. While I am relieved to no longer sleep in compression tights and eat boatloads of sugar throughout the day, I am really sad it's over. This week of riding I will never forget, in part to not just the amazing amounts of hard riding, but to this great community that has formed over the week. I hope to ride again with so many new friends.

Tom Jones (1963)
The editing and background music in this film are/were unique and something to behold. Although you may have seen some of the techniques copied (unfortunately, the only film which comes immediately to mind with regards to the editing is Start the Revolution Without Me (1970)), I feel fairly certain that freeze frames (with narrative voice-overs), characters playing (even talking) to the camera, and the lyrical wipes & fades ("zeroing" in on a specific object or face - like the singing mice in Babe (1995)) employed were first done in this Academy Award winning Best Picture. A very visually creative film which tells the bawdy tales of a bastard son raised by a wealthy squire. Another scene, the sensual eating of food, was also borrowed by several later films like Like Water for Chocolate (1992) (right? my memory escapes me). The score, which also won the Academy Award, is whimsical and upbeat with its tempo perfectly matching the kinetic pace of many of the more comical exploits of the title character, played by Albert Finney (Oscar nominated in only his third film). One of the few comedies (15%?) to win BP, it also took home Best Director (Tony Richardson) and Writing (the story was adapted from the Henry Fielding novel). Supporting Actor Hugh Griffith and three Supporting Actresses (Diane Cilento, Edith Evans, and Joyce Redman) also received Oscar nominations.

Genealogy research mistakes are wonderful learning experiences. They can be blessings when they show you how to improve your genealogy research. Which genealogy research mistake in your past has provided the most benefit to your present? How did you discover the mistake?
Which Ellen Danson married Ralph Dewhurst?
My four times great grandfather John Danson had a daughter Ellen Danson, baptised at St. Chad's Church in 1763 (Poulton Parish Register, Lancashire). In searching for a marriage I came across an Ellen Danson marrying a Ralph Dewhurst - and made the basic fatal family history mistake. I assumed this must be my Ellen.
I then received an e-mail from a fellow member of the Lancashire Family History and Heraldic Society who had in her family an Ellen Danson (daughter of Raplh Danson) and guess what - this Ellen married Ralph Dewhurst. So who was right?
In my favour is that Ellen and Ralph appeared to name their eldest daughter Margaret, (the name of "my" Ellen's mother) and second son John after her father - so following the traditional naming pattern in the north of England and Scotland. On the other hand these are Christian names in popular use, and "my" Ellen would have been 33 years of age on marriage, which seems quite old for the time.
For many years when researching my husband's Donaldson family, I made serious wrong assumptions.
|Marriage entry for Samuel Donaldson in the Old Parish Records for South Leith , Midlothian, 1759
Then I reached the proverbial brick wall in trying to prove Samuel's parentage.
In the Old Parish Records, there was a Samuel Donaldson born in 1729 in Kirkbean, Kirkcudbrightshire on the south west coast of Scotland. This very much appealed to me - the date was about right, the coastal location on the banks of the Solway Firth in south west Scotland fitted with Samuel's later life as a merchant in a seaport and Kirkbean had an interesting history as the birthplace of John Paul Jones, found of the American navy. I know - not exactly convincing research conlusions! On the bass of following ancestral roots, we even had an enjoyable short break exploring the area.
It was only many years later when I was writing the narrative of the Donaldson family history, that I stopped suddenly and thought - I have absolutely no proof that the Samuel Donaldson, born Kirkbean, was the same person as the Samuel Donaldson who married 30 years later in Leith and was my husband's G.G.G.G.G. Grandfather.
I had another look at the ScotlandsPeople website (http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/) and there were only 3 entries for a Samuel Donaldson born in Scotland in the relevant period:
1729 - Samuel son of John and Jean
1725 - Samuel, son of James and Jean
1752 - Samuel, son of John and Janet
Given that it was not compulsory to register births, marriages and deaths, perhaps there is simply no record of Samuel's birth and no evidence to confirm the names of his parents.
So years of assumption and work on the background history of Kirkbean came to nothing, though we did enjoy our holiday there. And the lesson - DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS
The Puzzle of Peter
Early on in my Danson family history, my aunt recounted a story of her grandfather James having a younger brother buried in St. Chad's Churchyard, Poulton-le-Fylde. I soon found in the local library a Danson entry in an "Index to Graves" which I noted down as:
Also of
, wife of Henry Danson Elizabeth
Also of Henry Danson
By changing the order in which I had originally written down the inscriptions to give emphasis to "my" James parents (above), I had completely misinterpreted the entries - not helped of course by the repetition of the same Christian names down the generations.
That I had made a mistake was further confirmed when I found in a history of St. Chad's Church that the graveyard had been closed in 1883, so the James Danson buried there could not be the James Danson my great grandfather who died in 1906.
Whether there was a young Peter remains doubtful, and perhaps the family recollection was on this occasion wrong.
But there were also lessons for me - DON'T ALWAYS BELEIVE WHAT YOU ARE TOLD AND TRANSCRIBE INFORMATION CORRECTLY

Two of Cuba's top batters, Alfredo Despaigne and Yordanis Samon, will play soon in the Mexican professional baseball league after an agreement between that organization and the Cuban sports authorities, reported Baseballdecuba.com.
AAAHHHHHH. He's so close, so close to the majors. He's just one country away now. Well, he was before, too, but there was all sorts of water between him and the majors.
There's only one thing to do.

Cherries: Howe rues injury to 'great character' MacDonald
8:13pm Saturday 15th December 2012 in Cherries News By Ian Wadley
BOSS Eddie Howe predicted at least two months on the sidelines for Shaun MacDonald before admitting the influential midfielder was a "massive player to lose".
Cherries were rocked by news that the Welshman was facing an extended spell in the treatment room after he had sustained suspected ligament damage to his right ankle this afternoon.
MacDonald was carried off on a stretcher after suffering the injury just before half-time in the 1-0 victory over Colchester at Dean Court.
Howe revealed that he had initially feared a fracture but reported that it was now believed MacDonald had badly sprained the ankle.
The early prognosis comes as a big blow to Cherries' promotion hopes as MacDonald had played every match since Howe's appointment, firmly establishing himself as one of the Dorset club's most consistent performers.
Howe said: "We have said before how pivotal he is to us and what a great job he has done since I have come in.
"I know we say it a lot about him but he is an unsung hero, he makes us tick and he is a vital cog in our team.
"He is a massive player to lose and someone who is not only a great player but a great character as well.
"He is a really calming influence in our midfield and someone all the lads respect. In his own way, he leads the team in a different way to a vocal talker.
"But we will have to cope without him and we will have to cope with injuries and suspensions – that is what the squad is for.
"Hopefully, we can get Richard Hughes back on the pitch soon. He will be a big player for us.
"We do have other people we can use so that is going to be the case for the time being."
Explaining MacDonald's injury, Howe added: "They played a short corner and he went to block a cross. It looks nothing on the TV but there has been some damage to his ankle and he went over on it.
"The initial news that I heard was that he had broken it but we are hopeful now it is just a really bad sprain. But he will definitely have a scan and X-ray just to make sure."
Harry Arter replaced MacDonald alongside the impressive Eunan O'Kane in central midfield against Colchester, while Howe's other options in the engine room include Hughes, Joe Partington and Lorenzo Davids. Steven Gregory will also return to Dean Court next week following the end of his loan spell at AFC Wimbledon.
MacDonald's injury took the gloss off another victory for Cherries after Lewis Grabban's 41st-minute strike proved enough to see off struggling Colchester, sealing a home win over the U's for the first time since 1999.
Howe added: "All in all, protecting a 1-0 lead against a team we had not done very well against in recent years, it was certainly a very good result."

sad to hear we have lost macca due to injury but feel we have good cover in that position as young carmichael plays this position and has proven he is more than good enough at this level in the past 3-4 reserve games he has been the best player on the park miles ahead of davids and parts and by far better than gregory hopefully howe will give him his chance as the game he played at peterborough he totally outplayed the highly thought of kane ferdinand who plays at a higher level UTCIAD

O'Kane and Arter cover each other in the attacking midfield central slot, so looks like a choice between Davids,Partington,Hu
ghes or Carmichael for the other position.
Mark Moseley played for Plymouth at Exeter yesterday. Did o.k., but sadly don't see him being in the frame at Bmth again.
Wes Thomas is doing great at Championship Blackpool, who have been unbeaten since he went there. Has scored two and made one goal in 4 games, and Appleton is singing his praises. His price is going up with every game.
Would have loved to have seen him get an extended run alongside Grabbon. Only saw them together once, second half at Yeovil, and they looked a fantastic pairing that day.

ashleyafcb did u actually watch the game yesterday arter was playing out of position and it showed he left us wide open on numerous occasions put us under unecessary pressure and james had words with him over it so i dont think it will be a setup like that again when there are defensive midfielders amongst the squad as for carmichael he is no longer a youth team player
Arter is certainly not a replacement for MacDonald.
He's all over the show, poor passing, weak or no tackling.
Seems to have a problem seeing where the threats are coming from.

I saw the challenge right in-front of me, seemed normal/heavy sort of challenge that the Colchester team were putting in all over the pitch, unfortunately this one left its mark, didn't enjoy his scream's for help and the ref ignoring him very much!!!!

Team Kaidynce by Cortney - about 1 year ago
"Team Kaidynce was formed in honor of Kaidynce Olsen. She has Cystic Fibrosis. Every year for the past 3 years we have been raising money through fundraising events such as car washes and raffles. All of the money goes to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in hopes to soon find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis! Team Kaidynce participates in the Great Strides walk every year which is approximately 3 miles. This year we decided to make Team Kaidynce look more united with our Custom Ink shirts & we absolutely loved them! Each year our team has grown and this year doubled in participants & we could not be more thrilled with all the love and support from our friends and family. This year we raised over $2,000 for Cystic Fibrosis! "

By the time many parents see Brenda
Finucane, all they want is an explanation
for their child's puzzling problems. It's Brenda's job to give parents that
explanation and help them move forward.
Brenda is a genetic counselor in Elwyn,
Pennsylvania. Her job is to inform clients
about genetic disorders and help them to
understand and manage the disorder. Many
families have struggled with a child's problem
for a long time, and Brenda helps give a name
to some of their concerns. "For a lot of families,"
she says, "it can really be a big relief to
finally have an answer."
One of Brenda's areas of expertise is in
a disorder called fragile X syndrome. This
condition can result in physical, intellectual,
emotional, or behavioral problems—and is
a common cause of some disorders, such as
Like nearly all genetic counselors, Brenda
begins work on each case by meeting with
clients and gathering medical and other information.
She uses this information to construct
a "pedigree," a specialized family tree. The
pedigree is a health history of an individual's
biological family and includes detailed information
ranging from family members' inherited
conditions, such as blindness and deafness,
to their ages and causes of death.
A pedigree assists genetic counselors in
mapping genetic patterns within the family.
For example, Brenda might encounter a child
whose genetic testing for autism has confirmed
fragile X syndrome as the cause, and
the mother has been identified as a carrier.
The pedigree shows that a maternal aunt has
a child with special needs, another maternal aunt is being treated for infertility, and the
maternal grandfather is suffering from Parkinson's
disease. All of these can be attributed to
the fragile X gene.
Brenda's role in such cases is multifaceted.
First, she must translate the complex
scientific concepts involved into language that
the client can understand. Second, she must
share the news with the client—sometimes the
most difficult part of her job. "Often, families
are hoping something will go away," she says,
"and I have to tell them that it won't."
Finally, Brenda helps the client understand
how to deal with the condition. As
Brenda says, "We help families adapt to the
information they get from us." For example, a
parent might feel guilty about being the carrier
of a genetic condition. Brenda helps the
parent adapt emotionally, assuring him or her
that guilt is a common reaction and explaining
that our genetic makeup is not something we
can control.
In explaining a child's genetic condition,
Brenda also makes parents aware of how the
condition may progress, including its medical,
educational, and psychological ramifications.
She then directs clients to other resources,
such as support organizations and healthcare
or educational specialists, for more assistance.
Genetic conditions have implications for
the extended family, but the information often
is too complex for the client to explain. A
genetic counselor might write a letter summarizing
the condition to help clients share this
information with other family members.
When it first emerged about 50 years
ago, genetic counseling focused primarily on
prenatal testing to detect genetic conditions. But counseling services have evolved to keep
pace with a greater knowledge of genetics and
wider application of genetic diagnostic testing.
Today, there are several types of genetic
counselors, and their expertise covers thousands
of genetic conditions and spans the
entire human life cycle. Genetic counselors
work in a variety of specializations, such as
cancer counseling, prenatal counseling, or
pediatrics—Brenda's specialty. And some
counselors develop specific areas of expertise,
as Brenda has with fragile X.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does
not have data on employment or wages for
genetic counselors. According to the American
Board of Genetic Counseling, however,
there are roughly 2,400 certified genetic
counselors in the United States. And they earn
a median annual salary of about $63,000,
according to data from the National Society of Genetic Counselors.
Genetic counselors must have a master's
degree in genetic counseling from a program
accredited by American Board of Genetic
Counseling. There are currently 30 of these
master's programs nationwide, and admission
to them usually requires completion of significant
undergraduate coursework in biological
science. The programs combine scientific
aspects of genetics with counseling study and
take about 2 years to finish. In addition, most
employers require certification, and some
states require licensure.
Most genetic counselors work in medical
offices and hospitals. Brenda, however, works
for a nonprofit organization that helps people
who have developmental disabilities. She
travels around the country to provide consultations
in schools, developing behavioral and
educational plans for students with fragile X
and other genetic syndromes. She also handles
most of her own administrative tasks, such as
scheduling and billing.
All genetic counselors need science
knowledge and interpersonal skills. That
blend was what first appealed to Brenda, and
that appeal has lasted more than 25 years. "I
love the science, but I didn't want to work in
a lab," she says. "Genetic counseling allows
me to combine my lifelong interest in science
with the opportunity to interact with families
affected by genetic disease."

China visit opens doors to expanded partnerships
When John Dixon assumed leadership of the international portfolio at Queen's in 2000, the university was in the midst of finalizing its first institutional agreement with a university in mainland China. Twelve years later, Queen's focused efforts in China have resulted in expanded student exchange opportunities, research collaborations, and agreements with government ministries in China.
"It's important that Queen's engages in a meaningful and substantial way with China, the fastest growing economy in the world," says Dr. Dixon, who retires from his role as Vice-Provost (International) this summer. "We have made huge strides over the last decade through our China Liaison Office and our strategic partnership with Fudan University. Universities in China are much more receptive to working with us and, increasingly, exchange and degree-seeking students view Queen's as a potential place to study."
The recent delegation visit to China led by Principal Daniel Woolf served to solidify relationships and advance opportunities for new agreements. This visit was the first by a Queen's principal since William Leggett travelled to the country in 2000. In addition to Principal Woolf and Dr. Dixon, the delegation included Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research), Bruce Stanley, Executive Director, Bader International Study Centre (BISC), Zhiyao Zhang, Queen's China Liaison Officer, and Jonathan Kong, a Department of Advancement representative.
The visit opened a number of possible higher-level partnerships with Chinese institutions. Some of the highlights include:
• Progress toward formal university-level agreements with Peking and Tsinghua universities, the top two post-secondary institutions in China, and the highly-regarded Renmin University
• Discussions with Fudan University to expand collaborative activities in new spheres such as research in medicine and the health sciences
• Signing a memorandum of understanding with China Executive Leadership Academy in Pudong (CELAP) to explore the possibility of Queen's faculty offering lectures and participating in training courses for bureaucrats and administrators in Chinese municipalities, local government and enterprises
• Preliminary talks with China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU) about the possibility of students they recruit completing one year at CFAU and then three years at Queen's to earn a Queen's degree.
During the visit, the delegation showcased the Bader International Study Centre and highlighted its new programming initiatives. Furthermore, receptions in Shanghai and Beijing, the latter attended by the Canadian ambassador to China David Mulroney, allowed Queen's to connect with alumni as well prospective students.
Principal Woolf recently posted a blog entry about the visit to China.

Women in Construction
A new IWPR report on women in construction trades finds that despite earning good wages, many women experience high levels of discrimination and harassment on the job. Based on the 2013 IWPR Tradeswomen Survey, the report finds that nearly a third of respondents reported high levels of harassment and one in ten experienced discrimination severe enough to warrant a formal charge to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
IWPR Recognized as One of Top U.S. Think Tanks of the Year
In its 14th year, the Prospect Think Tank of the Year Awards, aims to honor the achievements of organizations helping to shape public and political thinking on policy questions. This year, IWPR was among the shortlist for U.S. Think Tank of the Year, citing IWPR's "influential reports on low paid workers and child care." Read more here.
Enhancing Social Security for Women and Other Vulnerable Americans
A new IWPR study sheds light on expert and lawmaker perspectives on the prospect of Social Security reform. Based on interviews,which took place five years ago, the report reviews experts' expectations for Social Security reform five years out with summaries of what proposals had bipartisan support at the time. The report also includes an appendix of recently introduced legislation that affects Social Security. Read the report.
Empowerment in the Workplace
On June 18th, IWPR Vice President and Executive Director Barbara Gault gave testimony before the U.S Congress Joint Economic Committee during a hearing, "Empowerment in the Workplace."

Other states already have laws making revenge porn a crime, and now Illinois is poised to crack down as well on, what experts say, is a growing problem.
The problem, revenge porn, is people who try and get back at an ex-lover by shaming them on the Internet with racy photos.
There are websites filled with images that were originally meant only for the eyes of one special person.
However, when those relationships sour, the nude images, often from selfies, wind up being posted on line by a jilted lover.
A Chicago-area woman, who asked FOX 32 to protect her identity, was victimized by her ex-husband who posted a wedding night sex tape on line.
"It's just been an anxiety-driven, time in my life and something I never thought I'd have to deal with," the victim said.
She says fighting what was done to her became all-consuming.
"I was obsessively, compulsively searching on the Internet for these things to try to find them before anybody else did just to avoid embarrassment with friends, but also to avoid any way that might affect my career," she said.
It's cases like that that State Senator Michael Hastings wants to prevent by making revenge porn a felony punishable by one-to-three years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
"This states that if you post something on line on to a website, then it becomes a crime. We want to make people think, before you post something on line, you think at least once, two times before you post someone's nude photo on line," Hastings said.
Without the law, victims can only fight back with civil lawsuits.
"Whether it's copyright infringement, the individual posting the images didn't have the copyright to the images, or there's some sort of privacy tort that we're going to base off, an invasion of privacy or again a false light claim," Attorney Daliah Saper said.
This woman hopes the law passes to save others the hell she says she's been through.
"It's a complete invasion of privacy and changes your life so I think that, justice should be there if somebody does do that to somebody," the victim said.

Brewers have fun turning triple play
Feat accomplished for fifth time in team history, first since '99
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers turned a triple play for the first time in more than decade Sunday, and every out was a big one.Casey McGehee to Felipe Lopez to Prince Fielder bailed starter Braden Looper out of a sixth-inning jam at Miller Park, and Fielder's 12th-inning home run capped a 2-1 Brewers win over the Giants that was dotted with spectacular defense. "It was fun," Fielder said. "Especially the way the season is going now for us, it's always good to have something fun happen." Looper was trailing, 1-0, when Randy Winn and Ryan Garko hit consecutive singles to start the inning. Giants center fielder Aaron Rowand followed with a sharp bouncer to third baseman McGehee, who happened to be positioned near the foul line. McGehee stepped on third and threw to second baseman Lopez, who fired to Fielder at first. Just like that, Looper was out of his predicament. "I knew we were going to have a chance," McGehee said. "It just so happened we were playing on the line and the ball was right there, right on the base. I was just hoping I didn't bounce it to Felipe. I knew we were going to have to hurry." The throw was low, but Lopez handled it and relayed to Fielder. "When I threw it," Lopez said, "I was like, 'Oh my God, it's a triple play!'" Fielder squeezed the baseball and flashed one of his big smiles. "I didn't really realize it until the play was over," Fielder said. "That's my first one ever." It was the fifth triple play in the Brewers' 40-year history and the first since April 16, 1999, when third baseman Jeff Cirillo initiated a similar 5-4-3 play in a home opener at County Stadium against the Cubs. Cirillo to Fernando Vina to Sean Berry in the seventh retired Benito Santiago at first.

Surprise for long-serving lollipop man Wilf as youngsters sing to mark 80th birthday
10:00am Saturday 1st February 2014 in News By Steven Smith, Chief Reporter
A LONG-serving lollipop man was given a surprise present as he marked his 80th birthday yesterday.
Wilf Freeman has been helping pupils at Bournemouth School for Girls get to class safely for many years in all weathers, but yesterday morning's duty gave him a surprise he hadn't bargained for.
Headteacher Alistair Brien arranged for the school's Year 8 and 9 choirs to come out and sing 'Happy Birthday' to him.
Wilf, who has been a lollipop man since he retired as an engineer 20 years ago, said that his upcoming birthday was mentioned in an assembly at the school before Christmas.
He added: "This morning one or two of the girls remembered and said 'Happy Birthday' as well.
"The headmaster came marching across the road with 20 or 30 girls and some of the office staff were there as well.
"I kept my lollipop up as well so motorists were all watching. It was a nice surprise."
Wilf took up his role after retiring from Flight Refuelling at Wimborne.
He said: "It keeps you active rather than sitting at home and it's quite entertaining at times – I keep up with the latest girls' fashions.
"You get plenty of clothes, so I'm probably the driest and warmest man on Castle Lane."
Alistair added: "Wilf is a real trooper; he's out in all weathers to make sure that the girls are safe as they cross the road.
"I only hope that I can be as fit and active as Wilf is when I get to 80 years old."

At the Warehouse, a tired, old, past-his-prime Production Assistant has gathered together potential cast members for the new season of The Bullpen: Baltimore.
Production Assistant: Alright gentleman, thanks for being here today. You are all here because you are candidates to be part of the next season of "The Bullpen: Baltimore." Some of you have been here before while others are brand new. However, we feel we have a good mix of veterans and youngsters to make for an interesting and entertaining season. Before we get started, let's do a quick roll call.
PA: Where's Jim Johnson at?
Jim Johnson: 'Sup?
PA: Jim, for this season we would like you to reprise your role as the closer full time. You were excellent in the role at the end of the last season, and although we kind of toyed around with the idea of spinning you off to the Starting Rotation: Baltimore, we think you are better suited here for the time being. Think you can handle that?
Johnson: Yup.
PA: You don't say much, do you, Jim?
Johnson: Nope.
PA: Good man. Moving on to the set-up pitchers… Alfredo Simon?
Alfredo Simon: Si!
PA: Good to see you again, Alfredo. We almost lost you last year, but we respect the way you kept things dramatic. This year, if you're going to bust out the handguns again in celebration, make sure you don't point them at anybody. Okay?
Simon: /hangs head
PA: Alright, next up is… oh no, not again. Kevin Gregg?
Kevin Gregg: Salutations to my pitching brethren.
PA: Listen Kevin, you were probably the worst part of the Bullpen last year. However, you were also the most controversial which is usually good for ratings, but you still managed to be a ratings disaster. If it were up to me, I would not have had you back for this season, but unfortunately the last Director on Duty thought it would be a good idea to give you a two year contract for God knows why.
This season we've reduced your role to take some of the pressure off of you. Do you think that you can handle not screwing it up too much?
Gregg: Probably not, but I'd love to give it a shot anyways!
PA: Whatever. Moving on to the lefty specialist… Troy Patton?
Troy Patton: Hey, I'm here!
PA: /doesn't hear anything
Seriously, has anybody seen Troy?
Johnson: Who?
Patton: You've got to be kidding me. Not this again. Seriously, guys! I'm right here!
PA: Troy Patton? Left-handed pitcher that got called up and down from the minors a few times last season?
Simon: Que?
Patton: WTF, Alfredo?! I came to your BBQ last year. You made everyone walk through a metal detector at the door.
PA: Dammit people, where is Patton?. Alright let me make a phone call real quick to the new Director on Duty and try and get a replacement.
/makes phone call
Hey, DD. Listen, Patton is missing again. You don't know who he is either? I swear, you guys are all trying to give me an aneurism. Anyways, I need a replacement left-handed pitcher for the Bullpen. What's that? No, I don't care if they're Asian, what is your obsession with Asian pit… you know what, never mind. I really don't want to know the answer to that question. Just get it done.
/hangs up
Alright while we're waiting for him to send over a replacement, let's move on to some of the other middle relief roles. Is Darren O'Day here?
Darren O'Day: Present and accounted for.
PA: Welcome to Baltimore for this season, Darren. Last season you were out in Texas and spent the year yo-yoing between the Disabled List, the minor leagues, and their Bullpen. Do you think that you're healthy enough to be a contributing factor to the Bullpen this year?
O'Day: Absolutely, my arm is feeling great this year so I am ready to go.
/tries to give thumbs up
//throws out shoulder, starts year on the DL
PA: Fantastic. Next up is the new fan favorite… where's Pedro Strop?
Pedro Strop: Hola!
PA: Pedro, you were a late edition last season, but you came in to Baltimore throwing heat and striking out guys at a high clip. Since we decided to keep JJ off of the Starting Rotation this season, we're going to need to you excel in the middle relief role again. But just keep in mind some way down the line, we may be looking for you to fill that closer's role, so be ready.
In the mean time, is there any advice that you have any advice for any of the other guys in the Bullpen?
Strop: Vote for Pedro!
PA: Vote for Pedro, indeed. Moving on again…
/hears knock at the door
Well I wonder if that could be our new lefty specialist…
//opens door
Clay Rapada: Hello, my precious…
PA: GAAHHH! Kill it with fire!
/slams door shut
I think we're just going to have to look for Troy Patton some more.
Patton: Seriously, you're all assholes.
PA: For the final spot in the bullpen, we have the Mark Hendrickson Memorial Long-Relief role. This year the role will be filled by Tommy Hunter. You hear, Tommy?
Tommy Hunter: Howdy, partner.
PA: Hey, Tommy. Now, I know that in the past you've been a part of the Starting Rotation cast, but due to some new acquisitions this year, we're going to try you out in this role. It's a lot less stressful, and usually you'll be pitching in mop-up duty of a blowout one way or the other. Sound manageable to you?
Hunter: Yessirree.
PA: Anyways… now it's time to go ahead and check in on some of the alternates in case any of you guys happens to get hurt…
//dislocates hip
PA: …doesn't perform up to expectations yet again…
Gregg: /smiles and waves
PA: …or ends up getting arrested again.
Simon: /starts sobbing in the corner
Patton: I got a designated driver for this season!
PA: Alright, so for alternates, we got Berken, Bergesen, Drake, Phillips, Eyre, and Neshak. Wow, that sounds like the world's worst law firm. Bergesen, what are you doing here anyways? You're usually part of the Starting Rotation cast.
Brad Bergesen: Well see I was, but then the DD decided to go out and sign half of Asia for the Starting Rotation, so there's no room for Bergy-berg over there anymore.
PA: Well, I can't promise you any work over here, as Berken can attest to from last season…
Jason Berken: /already on a bus to Norfolk
PA: But we'll see what we can do. Alright, now I'm going to need to the starting cast of the Bullpen to go in the recording booth and record the introduction for this season.
/all seven pitchers cram in recording booth
Johnson: This is the true story…
Simon: Of seven teammates…
Gregg: Picked to pitch in a bullpen…
Patton: Work together and have their performances scrutinized…
O'Day: To find out what happens…
Strop: When Orioles pitchers stop completely sucking…
Hunter: And start performing adequately.
All: The Bullpen: Baltimore
PA: Christ, this is going to be another long season…

Pullman is 'Harry Potter for Grown Ups?Books
January 05, 2004, 12:17 PM
This editor has always thought that Harry Potter for Grown Ups referred to this YahooGroups list. But according to The Western Mail, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials is in another review that compares the trilogy to that-which-was-authored-by-Rowling.
It make one wonder if this is the message coming from the Pullman camp though the author claimed last November that he had read only one of the books and states that it wasn't among his favorites.
