This season, I am making a mock draft by polling all of the teams' fans on who their team should pick. I also did this the previous three seasons, and there hasn't been much time in any of them. I'm planning to go as quickly as possible between the SBNation blogs to get SBNation's first round mock draft. Please vote!!!
To reply to the oft-asked question: "Should I choose the person I want our team to pick, or the person I think our team will pick", it's all up to you. Just don't select who you think is the BPA unless you think your team will pick him or that it would be smart for your team to pick him. Another commonly asked question... "Can there be a trade up or trade down choice?", to which the answer is NO.
As my polls begin to leave the front pages of the individual blogs, I will add percentages and the #2 and #3 options for each team's fans.
Please vote, and please comment too! Here's how SBNation has drafted so far:
1. New Orleans Hornets - Anthony Davis (79%), Damian Lillard (7%), Kendall Marshall (4%)
2. Charlotte Bobcats - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (40%), Thomas Robinson (29%), Harrison Barnes (8%)
3. Washington Wizards - Bradley Beal (55%), Thomas Robinson (22%), Harrison Barnes (12%)
4. Cleveland Cavaliers - Harrison Barnes (42%), Thomas Robinson (20%), Jeremy Lamb (10%)
5. Sacramento Kings - Thomas Robinson (76%), Andre Drummond (15%), Perry Jones (1%)
6. Portland Trail Blazers - Andre Drummond (74%), Damian Lillard (8%), Jared Sullinger (4%)
7. Golden State Warriors - Jared Sullinger (34%), Perry Jones (31%), Terrence Jones (30%)
8. Toronto Raptors - Perry Jones (22%), Damian Lillard (26%), Jeremy Lamb (18%)
(If you're wondering about the percentages, I was forced to move on due to slow voting, and ten days later, a different player ended up winning; also, at least one SBNation user wrote outright that he spammed voting a couple times, including for the Raptors. In future seasons, I would like it if managers/editors of the respective blogs should do this instead of me.)
9. Detroit Pistons - John Henson
10. New Orleans Hornets - Damian Lillard
11. Portland Trail Blazers - Terrence Jones (28%), Kendall Marshall (27%), Meyers Leonard (13%)
12. Milwaukee Bucks - Meyers Leonard
13. Phoenix Suns - Jeremy Lamb (28%), Austin Rivers (22%), Kendall Marshall (17%)
14. Houston Rockets - Austin Rivers
15. Philadelphia 76ers - Terrence Ross
16. Houston Rockets - Tyler Zeller
17. Dallas Mavericks - Dion Waiters
18. Minnesota Timberwolves - Will Barton
19. Orlando Magic - Kendall Marshall
20. Denver Nuggets - Arnett Moultrie
21. Boston Celtics - Andrew Nicholson
22. Boston Celtics - Royce White
23. Atlanta Hawks - ???
Here are the options:
- SF Quincy Miller
- SF Moe Harkless
- C Fab Melo
- PG Marquis Teague
- G Tony Wroten
- F Jeff Taylor
- F/C Miles Plumlee
- G Doron Lamb
- F Jae Crowder
- G Evan Fournier

Basal cell cancer, a type of nonmelanoma skin cancer, usually appears as a small, fleshy bump or nodule on the head, neck, or hands. Occasionally, these nodules appear on the trunk of the body, usually as flat growths. Basal cell carcinoma accounts for the majority of all skin cancers in the United States. It is often easily detected and has an excellent record for successful treatment.
Nearly all basal cell carcinomas can be treated successfully, although in some cases they may recur (come back after treatment). Although this type of cancer rarely spreads to other parts of the body, it can extend below the skin to the bone and cause considerable local damage if not treated. And, having a basal cell carcinoma places people at high risk for developing additional skin cancers.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer found in whites and is much less common in people with dark skin. People who have this cancer frequently have light hair, eyes, and complexions, and they do not tan easily. Other risk factors for basal cell carcinoma include:
Excess exposure to UV radiation (sunlight or tanning beds)
Older age
Male gender
Exposure to certain chemicals
Radiation exposure
Long-term skin inflammation or injury
Treatment for psoriasis using psoralens and ultraviolet light treatments
History of skin cancer
Basal cell nevus (Gorlin) syndrome (a rare inherited disorder)
This highly treatable cancer starts in the basal cell layer of the epidermis (the top layer of skin) and grows very slowly. A basal cell carcinoma usually appears as a small, shiny bump or nodule on the skin, and mainly on the areas exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, arms, hands, and face.

Upscaling for tablets: how Telltale planned for the iOS release of The Walking Dead from the jump
The Walking Dead Episode 1
The iOS version of The Walking Dead adventure game launched last week and I've spent a few hours playing the game again on my iPad 3. The game plays well on a tablet, especially when wearing headphones to get lost in the audio as well as the visuals of each scene. The move to touch controls works well for adventure games, although it can take a few minutes to adapt if you've played the first two episodes on consoles or the PC. I also noticed a few hitches here and there in play but nothing serious, although this may depend on your device. All in all, The Walking Dead is the rare game where the console and iOS versions are nearly indistinguishable. That's no accident. I spoke with Steve Allison, the SVP of Publishing at Telltale, about the company's strategies for bringing their adventure games to iOS platforms. "We've always believed that mobile devices would rival home consoles and PCs in terms of computing power sooner rather than later, and as such have always had a different strategy in regards to our content on iOS than the majority of publishers, which is to create great ubiquitous content and publish it on as many viable platforms as possible," he said. iOS devices weren't an afterthought for The Walking Dead, they were just as important during production as the other platforms.
It was always part of the plan
"The Telltale Tool engine is fully multiplatform, built specifically to make our type of narrative games and work across every platform that we publish content for," Allison explained. "On the iOS platforms there are some rendering features that the consoles and PC use that are not enabled so that we can support the broadest range of devices possible, but once a game is built it more or less works on all our target platforms." The idea of a multiplatform product is built into the game's engine, making the porting process as straightforward as possible. While many companies begin to think of an iOS version of a game after launch, or are forced to worry about how it would work on iOS devices after its design, Telltale seems to give iOS devices the same priority as the PC or consoles during the early phases of development.Still, there are some user interface and functionality adjustments that are handled by a small group of specialists on the team. While the broad strokes are the same on each platform, there are one or two details that need to be given individual care for each version of the game; the differences between controller, mice, and touch interfaces are subtle, but real. The graphics themselves may also need to be given care from one platform to the next. To give you a sense of how much the world of portable game development has changed in the past few years, the newest iPad runs at a resolution 2048 by 1536, which is higher than consoles and most computer monitors. "With The Walking Dead and the new iPad, we found ourselves needing to scale up a number of art assets, particularly 2D UI elements such as menus, dialog options, etc," Allison explained. "The proprietary development tools we use make implementing unique platform designs relatively easily. We have had to make a few alterations to cameras or UI placement in order to have the game work across PC, consoles, and iOS devices, but this wasn't a particularly difficult challenge for the team." Having the first episode already out on iOS platforms may give the team a head start for subsequent episodes, but each episode will still require work to be done by hand. "For example, while we have some great group character moments in the first episode, the second episode features a scene with every member of the cast on screen at once! That's more 3D geometry being rendered, more audio, more animations, and more textures being loaded into memory," Allison said. This isn't a new strategy; most games these days are built with an eye for performance on multiple platforms, but Telltale is unique in the fact that iOS versions are included in that process. "The efficiency we gain in having a multiplatform engine that addresses PC, console and our mobile versions means that there is not a tremendous cost in porting to each platform and it allows us to put our investment focus into the content," Allison said, and the results show the strength of that approach: The Walking Dead is enjoyable no matter on which platform you play. I e-mailed after the interview to ask about an Android port, and have yet to hear back as of the time of this writing. Update: "We definitely want to get our future titles and past catalog of games live on Android devices. We've done some of the initial work on the engine to get there but there are many issues for us. The disparate hardware specs, piracy concerns and state of the Android equivalent of the App Store make it very hard to bring our games over to the Android OS. To counteract these issues with the Android platform, and ignoring for a minute the huge issue of widely varied specs of Android devices, our games would need to be built and/or sold distinctly different than we do today on all other platforms. Will Walking Dead: The Game come to Android? We hope so, but nothing to announce today. "

Halloween treats can take a toll on pearly whites. That's why Dr. Thomas Dudney tells his patients to stay away from the ones that could do the most damage to your teeth.
"Anything really sticky is what we tend to stay away from. Caramel is a good example of something that's very sticky. It's good but it's something that sticks to the tooth and it's harder to brush," Dudney said.
Taffy is another sticky treat he says you may want to pass on. Meanwhile, sour gummies won't stick to your teeth as much, however, the sour and sweet combo are a concern for Dudney.
"I'd say that's kind of a double whammy, and I'd say that's something you would want to stay away from it simply because of the sugar combined with the acidity," Dudney added.
Hard candy like lollipops aren't as bad according to Dudney as long as there's no chewing involved. He says gum is okay but only if it's sugar free and not the large round kind with a hard, sugar shell.
Chocolate lovers will be happy to hear Dudney not only gave it the green light but it's also the candy he gives to trick-or-treaters who knock on his door.
"Reese's cups, a Hershey's bar, or chocolate. Those are easier to take off teeth," Dudney said.
For those who don't want to eliminate any treats that come their way, Dudney says that's okay too. He says that any night of the year, it's best to limit your candy intake to once piece a night.
"That's where we see tooth break down, enamel break down and cavities," Dudney said.
For those with little ones at home, Dudney recommends supervising them as they brush their teeth on Halloween night. He says to make sure they do a thorough job of brushing off all of the candy.

Hi, I have problem to solve, which involve many differents question.
I want to do a simple thing : drap a ortho-photo on surface generated from contour line.
First thing, I need the basic terrain. I did import my contour line in a new draw, using the import map feature. I then saved the draw under the name " topo ". At this point, the contour line are 2D breakline with no elevation.
I then opened a new draw to which I did associate my draw " topo ". Then I used a querry to modify the elevation of the line using the attribute " contour " in my table, thus resulting in my breakline to become 3-D. It works fine. Then I save the new draw as " 3D_Topo ". I then get a warning :
" The association between objects interogated in the current drawing and associated will be deleted once the current document of the draw is closed " (I made the translation from french to english, in french it stated like this : " L'association entre des objets interrogés dans des dessins courants et associés sera supprimée une fois le fichier de dessin courant fermé. " ).
Well question #1 : What does this warning mean / imply ?
Then, I have those .ecw files as ortho photo which I want to import. So I use the fonction " connect " with raster image, then I select my file, then I " add to draw ".... then something very strange happens.
Sometime, the image appears correctly...and some other times I get nothing and I get this " disconnected " message in the task pane ..and no matter how many time I actually connect again the .ecw files, it will not happen in the draw ! Then I simply close the draw, start map 3D again, then I do the exact same thing, and sometime it works, sometime it doesn't... am confused here.. any clues?
Question #2 : any clue on why the .ecw files sometime works, sometime doesn't?
Now, let's assume I finaly made it to connect correctly and that Map3d didn't crash whilst I was doing it (because I don't know for you, but here, it does happens quit often), I now have (as shows in the picture I attached) two thing. A surface made (well, I went back in the civil 3-D module to make the actual surface from the breakline definition) with the contour line and a imported image. I now want to drap the image on my surface! So I use the option " drap " which is in the surfaces option (in the ribbon surface tools)... well it looks nice since it propose me to use the surface I made up with the controu line as the base and the imported .ecw files as the file to be draped upon. So I simply do that and.... well...nothing happens! My image isn't draped at all, it stays there, and am confused, where did I go wrong?
Question #3 : How should I proceed to actually drap my image over my surface ?
Question #4 : Considering I made it to drap the surface, how can I save this new draw independatly of the attached other draw or databse?
Thanks alot for the help!!
Solved! Go to Solution.

It means that, after the query, you should detach the TOPO drawing.

No clues, I'm sorry.
mdrioux wrote:

I guess you should click on the 3D button near the "Vertical Exaggeration" control.

After detaching the TOPO drawing, save all "as" another name.
Hi, thanks for the reply!
When you say detach the draw (in question #1) you mean from the task pane ? (just making sure)..
On question #3, you say that I should click on the 3D button near the "Vertical Exaggeration" control.
I am not quite sure about where this 3D button might be. Are you talking about the surface property (implying that this is a simple problem with the display and that my draping did work?).
Because I don't think it's a simple mather of display here.. I think the raster image I imported really don't drap itself on my surface!
If this is not what you are telling me, I am sorry I do not understand exactly what you are pointing me (it might be pretty obvious but I am not that good with Civil 3D so.. sorry for being slow ! )
I also have another question, which arose lately. I realised that, after I create my surface from the 3D contour line (or break line) these line still are displayed in background. I tryed to " delete " them but as I expected the surface disapears as well (I guess since it's definition are gone..it's logical). But is there a way to get rid of those line once my surface is made? I mean, they are no longer usefull and they drag power for nothing.
Thanks alot for your support !
You attach/detach the TOPO drawing by means of the same _ADEDRAWINGS command.
Even if this is not a Civil forum, you could get rid of unwanted contours as follows:
1] export your C3D surface with _LANDXMLOUT
2] open a blank drawing
Oh, nice trick! Worked fine ! Thanks
I will ask the question about draping in the civil 3d section! Thanks for you help, very appreciated!

3 Tips for Creating HTML5 Enabled Digital Magazines
Creating a digital magazine in an HTML5 format has made it much easier for brands to engage and inspire their users through multiple channels. Providing users with a much smoother experience when they access your rich HTML5 publications can create a positive lasting impression.
Here are three things you can do to make your HTML5 digital magazines memorable:
Limit Your Widgets
When using widgets, limit them to a maximum of 5 per page. Why you ask? Well, if a page contains too many widgets, it can really take away from the on-page experience and cause some users to become overwhelmed. This is especially true if external content – such as animations, videos, and or images – are being added to the publication.
Measure On Percentage, Not On Pixels
Many designers will use the number of pixels as their main measurement of size, but when it comes to cross-platform compatibility and scalability, percentage is the measurement you want to use. Through the Zmags platform, you will only have to upload your magazine, link it and add features/functionality to it once. Why complicate things, right?
Add Images Through External Files
Some brands prefer to add individual images over their existing magazine pages, while others prefer to add full-page images instead. If you're a brand that prefers to add full-page images, you should do this through an external HTML file. The reason for this is because HTML files will scale to fit destination media, but the individual images will not.
Zmags' platform allows you to easily create HTML5 enabled digital magazines with a few clicks of the mouse. Learn how you can start creating lasting HTML5 experiences with Zmags.

The Maui Fire Department says eight of those on board survived when the aircraft crashed in the water off Kalaupapa on the island of Molokai . Crews from the Coast Guard and a Maui Fire Department helicopter came to the scene. The plane had lifted off from Molokai and was headed for Honolulu.

The name Piedmont comes from medieval Latin Pedemontium, i. e. "ad pedem montium", meaning "at the foot of the mountains": Piedmont, whose capital is Turin, is surrounded on three sides by the Alps, including Monviso, where Po river rises, and Monte Rosa. It borders France, Switzerland and the Italian regions of Aosta Valley, Lombardy, Liguria and Emilia Romagna.
Its history was linked for centuries to Savoy dynasty: since 1046 Piedmont was part of County of Savoy, raised to Duchy of Savoy in 1416, evolved in the eighteenth century into the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. The role of Piedmont for Italy's unification is comparable to the role of Prussia for Germany and his army was the engine of the unification process, ended with the creation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. The presence of Savoy in its territory bequeathed a large number of castles and residences.
Lowland Piedmont is a fertile agricultural region, producing wheat, rice and maize and is one of the great winegrowing areas in Italy. The region contains major industrial centres: FIAT automobile plants in Turin, Ferrero's chocolate factories in Alba, tissue and silk manufactories in Biella, in Ivrea Olivetti was an important technology center, publishing in Turin and Novara.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- California's political watchdog agency says an $11 million campaign donation from an Arizona nonprofit represents the largest case of campaign money laundering in state history.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission on Monday disclosed the donors to the nonprofit, Americans for Responsible Leadership, after the state Supreme Court ruled unanimously Sunday that the group must turn over its records.
The Arizona group received money from two other groups without disclosing that, an apparent violation of California law.
Its $11 million donation went to the Small Business Action Committee PAC, which opposes Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative and a separate initiative that would limit unions' ability to collect money for political causes.
The donation came from Americans for Job Security through a second intermediary, the Center to Protect Patient Rights.

The shooting occurred on Jan. 12, 2007, at a residence at 45 Church Street in Quinton. Gregory was shot with a .20 caliber handgun.
Simmons was indicted by a grand jury on the manslaughter charge for recklessly causing the death of Gregory. His trial was scheduled to begin on June 18, but he decided to enter a plea of guilty instead.
Judge Hoyt Elliott took the guilty plea and sentenced Simmons to 18 years in prison for the crime. The maximum allowed for a manslaughter conviction is 20 years.
Simmons did ask the court for a little time before beginning his sentence to get his affairs in order. Elliott denied that request and Simmons was taken into custody immediately.
Simmons was taken to the Walker County Jail, where he will be processed while the state department decides where he will spend the majority of his sentence.
The Walker County Sheriff's Office investigated the shooting and Assistant District Attorney Bryan Warren said their involvement was crucial.
"We're always very appreciative of their help getting these cases ready for trial," Warren said. "They do a great job of that."
Several members of Gregory's family were in court for the plea and sentencing. They expressed satisfaction with the sentence and relieve be able to get some closure and begin to heal.
"This is part of our continued effort to clear the backlog of homicide cases," District Attorney Bill Adair said.

Mob destroys reputations

Thank you Frank for telling it like it is. I am ashamed of people in this town, that I am very proud of, for letting rumors and inuendos take the place of facts. I have never heard so many lies about a case and the people who are trying to perform their duties in my entire law enforcement career. Name calling and character assassination in the name of justice what a disgrace. I know you Frank and I'm with you. PS I sign my real name you cowards

First, I find it ironic that you say the word mob. Secondly, I would say you are destroying your own reputation. Maybe people in Steubenville are afraid to laugh at how idiotic it is for an attorney to take to facebook and letters to the editor to protect their fellow "attornies" and friends. Doesn't it seem strange that you cannot let these allegations just roll of your back. If they are innocent they will not be charged and you will be the one who destroys your own reputation looking foolish to the rest of the world.

Oh please. How did it just happen to be that this is the top LTE? I personally found it very insulting. Don't think the people of this valley are stupid, blind, or ignorant. Or perhaps it is true naivete. We all know things like how much of a "choice" school Well's Academy is. It's an easier "choice" when you're a teacher, lawyer, or doctor trying to get your kid in. I see nothing but the center of the giant web we weave of age-old Steubenville cronyism. After the years of corruption and scandals, I think I'll continue to listen to myself instead.

While I applaud Franks attempt to work up a respectable dose of indignance -- his attempt is simply a red herring to divert the attention from the real issue. Frank attempt to divert attention to "people hiding behind masks" or "fake bloggers" -- does nothing to address the most disturbing fact in this entire scenario -- The Michael Nodiamos video -- and the lame excuse for an investigation that has ensued.
What is now attracting so much outside attention is the fact that four months have passed and a horrific video exists of several Stuebenville citizens, including Michael Nodianos, openly admitting their participation in the rape of an underage girl. This is an undisputed fact.
Yet only two of the participants have been arrested. As your fellow Americans, we find it astonishing that everyone involved or who allowed this to happen are not being held accountable.

I find it all to be so very selfish. Let us not forget that a young girl was victimized, her life changed forever. She may leave this town when she's older but what happened to her never will. The spotlight on the city never would have happened if a group of teenage boys would not have taken advantage of a defenseless, young girl. Let's talk about what we need to do to ensure that this NEVER happens again in this town. We need to rise together and support this girl in any and every way that we know how. That's what you'd want if it was your daughter.

Frank answer this question. When Jane Hanlin was handed over the police report and knew at that split second she could not prosecute this case objectively, why did she hang in there for two weeks, make arrests, then turn it over to the AG office? If she would of turned it over day one, then questioning her integrity would not be an issue.

Where do rumors originate? From thin air? The saying "where there is smoke, there is fire" usually holds at least some merit. While these rumors may not all be 100% accurate, it's very unlikely someone was up all night creating a master plan to assassinate the character of authority figures. By default, there almost has to be some truth to the alleged corruption.
In my opinion, you shouldn't be so worried about saving someone's reputation anyway. This is not about reputation. This is about character. This is about discovering the true character of certain individuals. This is about differential treatment. This is about getting to the root of the problem. This is about values and doing the right thing. This is about accountability.
Currently corrupt or not, it will be extremely difficult for Steubenville authorities to be corrupt moving forward even if everyone keeps their current position, which seems highly unlikely at this point. Just my opinion.

Villamagna is your real name you sign with? uh-huh. Your entire law enforcement career? uh-huh. we the people stand with you. oh wait, maybe, just MAYBE you are one of the ones that we as common folk need to fear. Maybe, just MAYBE you are one of those that are in fear of what a serious probe into the corruption of the city officials might uncover. We all have our opinions, and our own eyes. In this situation, there have been MANY missteps by "our leaders". Lets have a serious discussion about the corruption, illegal gambling, bookie joints, favoritism in "justice" and good old boy dealings within the area. and while we are at it, lets drop the theatrics and get to reality.

You know what destroys reputations? Rapists. If you think this case has been handled well, I've got a bridge I'd love to sell you (and then watch you leap from). More victims are coming forward. More subhuman scum like the two "alleged" rapists should be prosecuted AS ADULTS and locked up...
Otherwise, they're going to have to live the rest of their lives being judged by the court of public opinion... which could be a lot worse than jail. Good luck getting a job, Mr. Nodianos.

Anyone else notice a complete and utter lack of compassion and sympathy for the ACTUAL victim in this case, not even worth a cursory mention from Mr. Bruzzese. Nothing but class. P.S. For a town's who's officials are being accused of cronyism (amongst other things), this doesn't help.

I think I need to clarify my position so that it is not misconstrued. I am of the belief that the MAJORITY of officials in our city/county governments are NOT corrupt. It only takes a few such individuals to spoil external appearances to the community. I do believe also that those making this entire affair a conspiracy against Steubenville/Big Red are the ones afraid to be examined under the microscope. If people had nothing to hide, there would be NO outrage at all, instead it would be welcomed because of the transparency. People are afraid of retribution by these few individuals that have some semblance of power and have abused it for their own profit or gain. Steubenville is a GOOD community, the people in general are GREAT people, most of the law enforcement and other city officials are trying to help the community as best they can. This does not mean there is NOT corruption here, This does NOT mean there wasn't some effort to at the least minimize the original crime committed.

The national and international spotlight brought to your community by this case has caused some interesting questions to be raised. At the probable cause hearing the witnesses testified that the victim was digitally penetrated by one of the defendants. Why wasn't the car seized for possible evidence retrieval? Why want the clothing the defendants were wearing taken in an attempt to retrieve evidence? Why did two weeks go by before the prosecutor recused herself? Surely when the complaint was filed by the victim's parents the prosecutor was aware she knew some of those possibly involved on a personal level and, therefore, should not involve herself in the investigation and possible prosecution of the reported crime. So many unanswered questions.

That "mob" is doing what needed to be done for a long time. People need to speak up and be heard. The locals would not listen to a few so now they MUST listen to the many. Those that are being badgered have brought this "mob" upon themselves.

I did just a lil bit of detective work online, and found these tidbits. The STATE of Ohio, Appellee, v. SPRINGER, Appellant. 1996
This was a rape case investigated by law enforcement and the sherif. This ended up with the victim being accused of false testimony. In basics, she left report, cops wanted a lie detector test, she refused, they forced it, she failed. They use this info to ask her what "really" happened- of course we all know lie detectors are not admissible evidence in courts. So the intimidation of the rape victim is complete.
WELLS v. JEFFERSON COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT.
Rapist treatment while in jail awaiting trial In contrast to recent treatment of accused Rapists affiliated to Big Red He was told while in jail, you get what you deserve when he was beat up by inmates, threatened in other ways etc. Law turned the other way.. but of course this is not a person that was highly affiliated to leaders of Steub, or Big Red, so who cares?

If you cannot treat the "perpetrators " the same, your justice system fails. I do n disagree with the treatment of THIS individual, I do disagree with the treatment of THESE current individuals. There should have been NO house arrest, there should have been NO califas vacation, They should be remanded in JAIL. Yes innocent until proven guilty, got that, problem is, when someone NOT connected gets in trouble the stsyem treats them differently than those connected. This is corruption at the baseline. I could find more I am sure, that was a 10 minute search. keep your blinders on, please, continue to show your support of "classism"

Mr. Villamagna I think it is rather juvenile to use name-calling to illustrate that name-calling is a disgrace. Whether you agree with what the public is saying or not you should still always conduct yourself with the level of class and dignity one would expect from a Police officer. I know there are many honest and honorable law enforcement officers here however comments such as this will not help prove this point.

I agree these rants and the general outlandish nature of Mr. Bruzzese's defense of Jane Hanlin only serves to bring more attention to her and is borderline insulting to the people of Jefferson County. Frank, use your own advice and let the evidence and investigation speak for itself. I believe she was genuine when she said she stayed on to try and get the kids to talk, she was the one to charge those boys accordingly. She's one of the only few that actually stepped up and did something. I don't think she would of jeopardized her career for those two boys especially since the crime was so heinous. People are always going to gossip, there is nothing you can do about it but be transparent and show them you're honorable. Words are on the verge of worthlessness in today's time. As far as those boy's lives being ruined, I think it's fair to extend the same amount of sympathy extended to the victim on the night of Aug. 11th.

To answer Rsimpson let me be clear anybody who throws out statemnets about a person by name that cannot be proven but could ruin their reputation and then signs their name John Doe is a coward and deserve no respect. That being said let be clear here also I do not condone what happened to the girl and I can't even describe my feelings about that or the that of the Nodianos video. I have no problem with any citizen complaining about how the case was handled or about the Sheriff Police Chief Prosecutor or even me for that matter. I don't have a problem with anyone saying someone is drug dealer or child molester and anything else as long as they put their real to it. A few years ago I was accused of being a drug dealer by a person who used her real name I confronted the person about the accusation and she apologized saying she made a terible mistake she had the wrong name it was similar to mine and she never even saw me before.A tongue is the same as a gun once fired u cant get it bac

Rape is rape. The Big Red rape coverup isn't going to be allowed to happen. Too many unanswered questions about who bought the liquor, which houses were used for these drinking parties, who told players to delete photos from their phone cameras, etc. The pressure is on for fair and honest justice for this rape victim and those who tried to cover it up - this is not mob justice.

Yes, there has been an internet war. One directed at Jane Doe.
As to those who object to the war against Jane Doe being Anonymous, look at my sign on.
Yes, that's my real name, unlike villamagna.
I don't know you, but I have meet your type before, and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

This mob is the monster created by years and years of wrongdoing by officials, coaches, and athletes. If two kids were arrested for raping a girl in their car, that is what it is. However, that is not the case here. None of the football players owned a house (knowingly allowing kids to take part in illegal activity in your house is a crime), Someone provided the drugs, (also a crime) Someone provided the alcohol (none of the players are 21, also a crime), Several people had the video on their smartphones, and passed this *****graphic material on, yet nobody called the cops (called being an accomplice, a crime). Two people in the photos, who snapped them? (a third criminal accomplice, crime!) Then there is the coaches that told players to delete content on their phones (obstruction of justice, you guessed it, a crime). After all of that we the people of this area are supposed to be satisfied with just 2 arrests? You public officials have got what you deserve in this case.

Mr Bruzzese, Do you really think that poor girl would have gotten a fair trial if certain evidence had not been published by Anonymous? Really? In a town where some who were present and participated in the parties were not even removed from the football team? Does that not give a clear message to possible witnesses for the prosecution that it won't matter if I tell the truth- nothing will be done? If it had been handled correctly ACROSS THE BOARD from the beginning, none of this would be occurring. It wasn't and needed to be brought to light. Do not try to make it an "us vs. them" situation as it isn't. There are many wondeful people in Steubenville.

Bruzzese and Villamagna are part of the problem. Sheriff Abdalla said the rape case is not his because it is not in his jursidication. Yet, he helped with the investigation (gathered critical evidence) and now, his head keeps popping up in the middle of everything but it's not his case. That's very suspicious. He is trying to deflect attention from the case and his buddy, Reno! Please Sheriff Abdalla keep your nose out of other law enforcement agencies' cases and let them do their jobs. Now, we have Frankie Boy doing the same thing for his law partner, Jane Hanlin. Frankie is a lawyer so you gotta trust him! Hah!!!

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Don't you wish your summer was like your children's? A whole world of possibilities opens up for so many kids with camps teaching everything from sewing to space exploration. This week in Louisville, 20 kids from all over the country are learning life lessons from a group of American military members.
Softball camps are as big a part of summer as swimming and sunshine. But along with swinging and catching, the kids are learning something more.
The coaches are members of the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team.
"Everybody on the team served in the military, served their country and has some type of amputation," explained former U.S. Army Green Beret Todd Reed.
The campers are all missing limbs as well.
"These guys who have suffered a limb loss can talk to kids who are also going through the same challenges and so forth that they are," said Kids Camp Director and Founder Susan Rodio.
For five days, the Wounded Warriors will share what they've learned about softball with the campers.
"When I was in baseball, I couldn't really hit it because ever since I got the running blade, it wouldn't bend so I had to stay straight and I had to move my hips instead of bending," explained 8-year-old Logan Powell from Seattle, Washington of some of the challenges.
What they are really learning is how to overcome and thrive with life's obstacles.
"We had one really cool boy last year who his parents said that he didn't want to wear shorts because kids made fun of him in school," Reed said. "After he had spent a few days with us, he told his mom he wanted to go to the store and buy a pair of shorts. He said well if those guys are running around, showing their legs off and they don't care what people think and look at what they're doing on the field, you know I want to do the same thing."
It's the mission of the Wounded Warriors, something they're trying to teach us all and something that plays out in the game of softball.
"To show people that regardless of your injury or what's going on with you that you can still overcome some of these things and still set goals or set new goals," said Reed.
This is the second year for the WWAST kids softball camp. Last year it was in Orlando.
The kids come from all over the country and will be in Louisville through Friday, when they play each other at Louisville Slugger Field right before the Louisville Bats game.

In an effort to bring more sunshine to the Old Dominion, state Del. Rob Krupicka
has crafted legislation that would limit the amounts of gifts local and state officials could accept and require regular disclosures in a searchable, online database.
It's part of what Krupicka expects to be a larger, bi-partisan move toward ethics reform in Virginia sparked in no small part by the Star Scientific scandal involving outgoing Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Krupicka's bill would require lawmakers and local elected officials, along with state and local government officers and employees, to electronically file a monthly gifts reports and quarterly economic interest reports. The reports would be available to the public in a searchable online database maintained by the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Office.
Further, the legislation would prevent any state or local officer or employee from accepting a single gift worth more than $100 or a combination of gifts with a total value of more than $500 from a single donor within a single filing period.
"I think this transparency issue is important. I think the ability of people and the press to have access to these filings is important. And I want really press that point and focus on that point, because not everyone is," Krupicka, an Alexandria Democrat whose district also includes parts of Arlington and Fairfax counties, told Patch.
"Our current gift disclosures and financial disclosures are not as easy to access as they should be, especially in this modern area."
Virginia law currently requires only state officers and employees to file annual economic interest forms with the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Office. Local government officers and employees file such forms with their city, town or county clerk. State senators file with the Senate clerk and state delegates file with the House clerk.
Essentially, a member of the public or the press has to go to each clerk to request access to those forms.
"Technology has changed, and we need to catch this system up to the level of technology," Krupicka said.
In 2012, the Center for Public Integrity ranked Virginia the fourth-worst state in terms of open government and anti-corruption laws. It gave Virginia an 'F' in nine out of 14 categories, including public access to information and ethics enforcement.
This year, McDonnell was forced to return more than $120,000 in loans and gifts to the chief executive of Star Scientific Inc., a dietary supplement company. And the outgoing governor leaves office the subject of state and federal investigations.
This summer, Krupicka launched VAEthicsReformNow.com, which allows people to petition for ethics reform in Virginia.
He predicted some of the debate on his bill would center on whether food counts as a gift. Krupicka said it should: "I want to know whether you get a Rolex watch, a filet mignon or a cheeseburger."
The bill, if it becomes law, could require a cultural shift, too.
In 2012, Arlington County Board member Chris Zimmerman came under fire in a minor political spat that had more to do with a planned streetcar for Columbia Pike than whether a two-day consulting gig he did for a company in Canada constituted a conflict of interest. Zimmerman disclosed the work in advance to his fellow elected officials and the county clerk, but the public at large only found out about it after streetcar opponent Libby Garvey tried to use it against him.
When Patch asked board members at the time why the county didn't make the matter known publicly ahead of the controversy, the answer was simply, "We've never done it that way."
"It's just never been the practice," Krupicka said. "We live in a different age now. The level of privacy that public officials can expect is different than it used to be. We have to acknowledge that and move forward with those times."
For elected officials and public employees comfortable with computers, the new rules could make reporting gifts easier, he said.

President Obama sought to fund "shovel ready" projects with the 2009 stimulus, so the federal government spent $29 million in taxpayer money to dig a port in Alaska that has no roads connecting it to other towns.
"It's not normal," Steve Boardman of the Army Corps of Engineers civil projects division told KUCB (Alaska). "And it has prevented the construction of harbors in the past, when that supporting infrastructure is not there." Boardman explained that they were able to build the port in part because "the project was 'shovel-ready' when $29 million of federal stimulus money became available in 2009," as KUCB put it.
Construction of a road to connect the "port" to the nearest town two miles away won't begin for years, but the federal government is now committed either to losing the money spent already or having to lay out even more cash to build that road.
And it's an expensive road — current estimates put the cost at $11 million per mile.

The niece of the woman Michelle Kosilek murdered when she was known as Robert Kosilek said Thursday she does not want Kosilek to get sex change surgery at taxpayers' expense and that she wants the state to appeal a federal judge's decision ordering the procedure.
"As far as I'm concerned, he deserves nothing,'' Laura J. Brandel said in a telephone interview. "If he wants to attempt suicide and take his own life, let him. It might sound cold to you, but it's cold what he did to her.''

Police arrested eight people connected to the Occupy Atlanta movement Thursday afternoon, while the protesters were on their way to a rally at the state Capitol.
The group of protestors marched through the Georgia State University Campus and then onto Courtland Street, where they blocked off the street to traffic.
One of the protesters arrested by Atlanta police officers was Occupy Atlanta organizer Tim Franzen.
"Our mission is to show the world that you can evict a park but you can't evict an idea," Franzen told CBS Atlanta, as he was being arrested. "This is an idea and it's global."
Courtland Street was blocked off for about half an hour. Some Georgia State University students complained that they weren't able to get to class on time because of the blockade.
At 3:30 p.m. on the Capitol steps, people from all over Metro Atlanta are expected to rally to show "they are the 99 percent and are frustrated with a system that works for the top 1 percent instead of all Americans."
The rally is part of a nationwide day of action called "We are the 99 percent", and is being organized in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement taking place across the country.
"We are here today to demand that politicians in Washington stand up for the 99 percent and stop their assault on the American Dream," said Tariq Shakoor, one of the organizers of the event. "The big banks and corporations are reaping the benefits of an economy that only works for the 1 percent, while the rest of us have been left behind. It's time for Congress to start fighting for an economy that works for all of us, and not just the millionaires on Wall Street."
The nationwide day of action is being organized by MoveOn Councils in Atlanta, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Rockdale counties as part of the American Dream Movement.
In solidarity with local unions and as part of the National Day of Action called for by Occupy groups across the country, Occupy Atlanta will rally at 650 Ponce de Leon Ave. at 6 p.m. in order to call attention to Home Depot and Verizon Wireless.
"From lobbying against employee choice legislation to evicting senior citizens, Home Depot's values are not the kind to do business with," said Occupy Atlanta in a news release.
Early Thursday morning, over 30 people entered Freedom Park and erected tents and tarps, according to the release.
This is in addition to the ongoing occupation of the homeless shelter at Peachtree and Pine streets.
The shelter is under threat of eviction.

7Ginnifer Goodwin Is Obsessive About Her Health… and Listerine?
Ginnifer Goodwin is a bit odd, isn't she? She's like something straight out of Lord of the Rings (she'd be an Elf, obviously) or something. Also, she's a pretty terrible actress. I absolutely love Once Upon a Time, partly because everyone in that show is horrendous at acting (Lana Parrilla excepted!) and also because it's pretty clever and almost – but not quite – great.
In any case, celebs are forever endorsing products for a quick buck and Ginnifer is no exception (I once thought she was going to start shilling for Weight Watchers) – she's now the spokesperson for… Listerine. I can't hate on that because dental health is def important – nobody's trying to have rotten teeth and bleeding gums, over here – but Listerine is the worst because they use alcohol in their mouthwash (ACT anticavity is the jump off, for the record). Either way, Ginnifer is cashing Listerine's checks and is apparently even using their shit on her off time.
From The Huffington Post:
How many times a day do you brush/floss? And be honest!
Well, before this, I've always been a twice-a-day brusher. I try to floss every day — that's not true — I don't try to floss. If you tried to floss every day then you would. I do floss several times a week, but I know that we're supposed to do it every day. Now that I've been educated about oral health, my habits are changing. Today I started swishing with LISTERINE® twice a day. It only takes 30 seconds twice a day, and it will virtually clean 100 percent of your mouth.
Ginnifer also had some other beauty tips to share:
What's one beauty/hygiene routine you're absolutely obsessive about?
Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm really obsessive about anything dealing with my health. I'm very careful not to over-wash my face. I don't pick at anything — as my grandma taught me not to.
What's one beauty product you absolutely swear by?
Extra-virgin organic coconut oil! It's a miracle product. You can eat it, put it on your cuticles, shave your legs with it … it's pretty stunning. I wash my face with it, put it on my lips and I also use it as moisturizer.
Coconut oil is good, I feel her on that, and picking your face is gross (but sometimes so tempting). I still think Listerine sucks, though.

I don't know about calling her a terrible actor. She was great in Big Love.
She has very lopsided ears! Her right ear is high and sticks out while the left lays flat and is lower. Her face is drastically different from right to left too. How strange. "Quirky"?
First of all, stop reading the Huffington Post. It's run by an alien, funded by an alien. Get your info from other small sites run by people like you, not some rich bitch.
Second, what the hell name is Ginnifer? Can't she just use the normal spelling? Or is it some variant that only cool people like she know?
Well, that reference was about as obvious as all the brand new Hyundais on The Walking Dead. At least I HOPE Listerine is paying her. Also, flossing twice a week is pretty gross.
OMG! Her ears are weird… O.0
I think she may have had constructive ear surgery that what it looks like but she is pretty. I get her confused at times with Tom Cruise's ex. Then I saw the ear thing. She did a good job in Something Borrowed though.

Good news for the Cincinnati Bengals, as rookie wide receiver A.J. Green has returned after halftime from a shoulder injury. Green was listed as questionable to return after tripping and falling hard on his right shoulder going for a deep pass from fellow rookie, quarterback Andy Dalton. On the play, the St. Louis Rams were called for pass interference - though the only contact was instigated by Green himself, and he just got tripped up by his own feet.
Though he's back in the game, he didn't do much at all on Cincinnati's opening possession of the half. Though the Bengals eventually got into St. Louis territory and kicked a field goal to tie the game at 6-6 with a 41-yarder, Green wasn't targeted on the drive. On fourth down, Green was in to block, and let his right arm hang at his side, trying to protect with his left one, though he could just be being safe with it.
For more on the Rams, check out Turf Show Times, and for more on the Bengals, check out Cincy Jungle.

When we arrived, we were greeted with Mimosas--for free! Nice touch. Staff on the ship was friendly and helpful.
The choices in the dining room were great. They even served a full-sized lobster one of the nights. This is something many of the cruise lines have done away with.
If I have a complaint it is with the bar staff. They were slow and at times hard to find (and I'm not a huge drinker). That said, love the two-for-one offers on the pool deck.
Our stateroom and the attendant was great. I expected a worn out room since we were on the bottom floor, but it wasn't. It was in great shape and the attendant didn't disappoint. It was like magic. We'd leave and come back to a magically made up room. However, this line (or this attendant) doesn't make towel animals. Bummer.
We sailed on a sailing with lots of spring breakers, but from other years of experience, it was nothing like what we've experienced on other ships.
We had our two boys 15 & 16 with us. Club Xtreme was not something they looked forward to before arriving, but they were hooked the first night. The activities kept them entertained and looking forward to another trip.
I would sail Celebrity again.

Plenty to unveil at JU home opener
With all the debuts, defending of winning streaks and other activities surrounding the JU football game Saturday it would be easy to confuse the home opener with homecoming.
The Dolphins (1-1) entertain Webber International at 1 p.m. at D. B. Milne Field and the school will unveil its new marching band while the team unveils its new uniforms.
The new band is cause for excitement among players who look forward to the enlivened atmosphere as does coach Kerwin Bell.
"It's going to add everything to the college game day experience,'' he said. "With the new band and being able to add that will be really good for our fans. We're looking to have a big crowd, the band and make it a great game day experience for Jacksonville.''
The Dolphins also will be wearing their new uniforms at home and the clothing, used last week against Charleston Southern, already has rave reviews from players.
"I think they helped us win against Charleston Southern,'' defensive lineman Mike Mayoral said. "The pants are so comfortable and you can move around in them easily.''
"They're new Nike uniforms and they are special but we've got to win a football game,'' Bell said. "We made big strides between the first and second games and we had a great week of practice. Now we have to put it together in a game and continue to make strides.''
What worries Bell is he has seen Webber (0-2) before and has been in a couple of serious battles with the NAIA Warriors.
"They are one of the teams we play a lot before we start our league schedule,'' Bell said. "They have a lot of kids from Florida so you know they have the ability to make big plays and be explosive. They're going to come in here hungry because it's always their Super Bowl. When they play us it's their Super Bowl of the year to beat the Jacksonville University Dolphins. We understand that and we're preparing for their best game. Every year they are good on defense and this year is no different.''
The Dolphins are looking to win their 15th consecutive game at home, the current best in the Football Championship Subdivision.
"I think our team wants to come out and have a good showing at home,'' Bell said. "We have the winning streak is on the line. Our kids take a lot of pride in that and we've had great preparation so far this week.''
The game will be televised locally on CW17 with Cole Pepper and Steve Gilbert on the call. On radio, the game can be hears on 92.5 FM and 1010Xl.com. Veteran play-by-play broadcaster Terry Norvelle will be joined by former JU quarterback Josh McGregor.
