A firefighter is recovering and residents are left homeless after a blaze in north Tulsa.
The fire broke out early Friday at an apartment building near north Birmingham Place and Independence Street.
Tulsa Fire Department District 4 Chief Bennie Herring said a mattress caught fire in an upstairs unit. A resident admitted that a cigarette got away from them while in bed smoking. The flames quickly spread and got into the unit's floorboards and walls.
Some tenants of the fire crawled to the roof and balconies to escape the smoke. They were brought down without injury.
A fireman climbing an aluminum ladder slipped and fell about 12 feet to the ground. He was up and walking around, but was taken by EMSA to an area hospital to be checked out for a shoulder injury.
District chief Herring said all of the building's residents will have to find someplace else to stay. It's construction made the fire fight difficult for crews. Additions and voids made it easier for the flames to spread.
No one else was hurt.

We often hear and read this comment. Simply stated, a good number of vintage copies do not sound and/or perform the same as their ancestors. Circuit modification aside, the main difference between the new and the old lies in several areas. Many of the vintage originals employed hand selected and tested components. During this period, the manufacturing of such devices was considered as much of an art as a science.
Production time and overall cost was secondary to the performance of the finished product.
Spectra Sonics has always held to these standards and never deviated. All Spectra Sonics discrete audio products are built under the same procedures that were used over 40 years ago. Hand selected parts, hand soldering and testing procedures are the same. In fact, numerous hand-built vintage test devices and platforms are still used in the production process.
Some years ago, Spectra Sonics made the decision to sell product factory direct. The result is a more affordable product as well as factory support for application requirements. In addition, repair and refurbishing of equipment is completed in a more timely manner.

Post-punk's seam has gotten severely depleted these last few years. So it makes sense that genre-mining bands and arcana-excavating archivists are now moving into the non-Anglophone world. The smart hipster money would surely have been on Germany as the next gold-rush zone, or maybe Belgium and Holland. Few would have imagined Brazil as a contender. But that's precisely what's happened, with the bizarrely synchronized arrival of two compilations documenting São Paulo's post-punk scene.
It's tempting to imagine a cargo cult scenario: a handful of Liliput and Flying Lizards import singles arriving to catalyze a mutant subculture, the local bands filling in the huge aesthetic gaps using their imaginations. But given that São Paulo, for all its subtropical location, resembles a European city somehow drifted loose from continental moorings, it's far more likely the megalopolis's hip youth were just totally plugged into every last thing going down in Ladbroke Grove and downtown New York City.
Não Wave kicks off with Agenttss' "Agenttss." Released in 1982, it's a historic single not just for its mélange of then modish but still-thrilling elements (flanged guitar, synth bloops) but for being Brazil's very own Spiral Scratcha pioneering example of release-it-yourself autonomy. Throughout both compilations, foreign influences are obvious, but seldom to a slavish degree. Akira S & As Garotas Que Erraram alternately resemble Birthday Party crossed with Martha & the Muffins and a tropicalized Joy Division, balmy and sweat stippled rather than cold as the grave. Sexual Life includes a fetching pair from Fellinione flinty drone rock, the other garage punk gone languid in the humidity. Inevitably, what captivates the Anglo-American ear is the exotic Brazilian tinge that creeps in every so often, whether intentional or not, as with Chance's sultry "Samba do Morro" and Black Future's "Eu Sou o Rio," whose bassline doesn't so much walk disco-style as sashay carnival-style. Approaching the end of its 1982-88 time span, Não Wavesags somewhat. And Sexual Lifeis occasionally marred by outbreaks of "quirky." But overall, language difference notwithstanding, you can easily imagine most of these tracks getting playlisted by John Peel or working the dancefloor at Hurrah's.

My Views and Take on the Latest NBA News and Events
There's a really cool shoe commercial making the rounds for the Michael Jordan shoe line. It's a 60 second spot with a variety of youngsters playing ball, doing some of the signature Jordan moves.
There's no talking, it's all set to some creschendoing electric piano/snare drums beats in the background. It's a great way to reminisce about some exciting Jordan moments from various stages in his career.

Another Way to Help Uganda (Besides Sharing a Video on Facebook)
March 22, 2012 at 6:34 pm , by Amelia Harnish
By now you've probably seen the Kony 2012 video that blew up this month. It reached more than 100 million views within a week, making it the fastest-spreading viral video ever (faster even than Lady Gaga's video for "Bad Romance"). When I watched the video, I could see why it touched so many people: Who could be against a call-to-action to stop Joseph Kony, the leader of a rebel group famous for abducting children and turning them into soldiers and sex slaves?
But there have also been a lot of questions about the accuracy of the video and goals of Invisible Children, the organization that produced it. And earlier this week, the film's creator was brought to a mental hospital after running around the streets of San Diego naked. Reports are blaming a psychotic break caused by all the scrutiny.
In other words, it's turned into quite a circus. So when Health Director Julie Bain heard that an old friend, Conrad Mandsager, head of ChildVoice International, was going to be in town for a meeting at the United Nations, we invited him to stop by. While he was here, he talked to us about what's going on in Uganda now, what ChildVoice is doing to help the most vulnerable victims recover, and how you (yes, another call-to-action!) can help.
LHJ: Why do you think Kony 2012 is causing such a stir?
CM: Raising awareness is great, and Invisible Children has certainly succeeded at that. But to really understand this conflict, you've got to go back in Uganda's history more than 50 years. It's very complicated. So it's my sense that even if we took out Kony, which seems to be what Invisible Children wants, the problems would still be there.
Part of it is also that people in Africa are incensed that a group of Westerners would come in and oversimplify this. I just read an article by a teacher in Uganda who said, "I've got former child soldiers in my class and they wonder, Why is America making a hero out of Kony?" And that's what Invisible Children's approach is: Let's make him a celebrity so everyone in the world knows who he is. But if you've been traumatized by this guy, you don't respond well to that.
LHJ: We know that your mission with ChildVoice is to help former child soldiers. How did you get started, and what are you doing now?
CM: When my son and I got involved in 2006, we went to the refugee camps to interview the children who had been abducted and turned into soldiers. Every organization was focused on hunger, disease and so on, but we had it in our minds that we were going to focus on the children. Many of them escaped or were captured by the military and were being returned to their families. But they were stigmatized because of their past. There were a few organizations that were helping to try to reconnect them with their families and give them therapy. But because of the number of kids that needed help, they often couldn't stay past 30 days. There wasn't anyone providing long-term care and rehabilitation, and the girls were suffering the most. They had been abducted and fought as child soldiers, but they were also made sex slaves to the commanders. Many were pregnant or had children when they escaped. These girls weren't accepted because of their past, and their children were viewed as devils because they were fathered by rebels. Many of them were turning to prostitution to survive, and many were being raped in the refugee camps just because of their vulnerability. No one was doing anything for them, and what really struck me was that they were so traumatized they couldn't even speak about what happened to them. I was convinced that we had to do something.
We started ChildVoice in April of 2006. We took an old school that was at the heart of a massacre two years earlier and renovated it. We opened in 2007, and since then, we've had about 100 girls go through our year-long program. They're certified in two vocational trades before they leave us. Now 93 percent of them are independent, living above the poverty line, running their own small businesses or contributing to their families.
LHJ: How can others get involved and make a difference?
CM: We've had relative peace in Uganda since 2007. But there is nobody in Northern Uganda who's not been affected by this in some way. Go on our homepage and take action. Come work with us. One of our projects is this jewelry made out of paper beads. In addition to the center for the girls, we employ 42 women, most of them widows, who work for us making the beads. They make a fair wage, and then profits go back to support our program.
LHJ: And they're beautiful! I especially love the colors of this set, left. And that's me, pictured up top, modeling the samples Mandsager left with us. Leave a comment below and we'll send a handmade necklace to the first five people.

Thanks for posting this. A simple concrete call to action with lots of useful context

In many situations of war, poverty and abuse, the women in third world countries are often victimized twice. Not only can they be raped and beaten but are then shunned afterwards by their own people, as are their children. Giving these women a skill, a trade and a way to make a living is giving them back self esteem and a way to survive without begging on the streets. It reminds me of the adage, give a man a fish , he eats for a day, teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime. Bravo for the efforts to give these women hope and a way out of poverty.
Written on March 22, 2012 at 8:51 pm, by Jill Cameron
Thank you for a wonderful article. It is so important to spread information on what people can do to help. Giving these women a trade not only helps them feel empowered but will help support others.
Written on March 22, 2012 at 10:39 pm, by Steve Wooderson
I was touched by the work of ChildVoice from the moment I heard of their work. There is much to be done, and I am thankful ChildVoice, the Mandsager's and many others have stepped up to provide the support and service they do. When I lived in Iowa I was blessed to see first hand the commitment of those who have given much to those in war torn Uganda. Blessings to all of you as you continue your work.

I wish there was some way to immediately make a huge difference for these children. These small steps are great and hopefully one day we will all be touched to help our fellow man.
Written on March 23, 2012 at 11:40 am, by Dina Remington
Thank you for publishing this article! It takes much more than "making Kony famous" to truly help these child solider victims. Organizations such as ChildVoice International are doing much more than talking about the problem, they are taking positive action to aid in the healing process and giving these girls a chance at a new life!
Written on March 23, 2012 at 11:43 am, by Pamela Darling
Thank you for sharing this information. I immediately questioned the validity of the facts in the Kony 2012 video as it seemed extremely oversimplified and set about to do my own research on the subject. ChildVoice seems to do much more to help in a useful manner rather than just raising awareness.
Written on March 23, 2012 at 1:32 pm, by Carol
The work being done by ChildVoice is not unique in it's concept. The great thing about it though is that it has been proven that if you give women or girls the opportunity to learn a skill or a trade they WILL become self-sufficient & ARE able to help support their families and communities. Many of them have been widowed because of the conflict in their country (not just Uganda) and previously had no means of supporting themselves. Due to programs such as this they now have a feeling of self-worth. As a previous reader had said, the biblical verse holds true. Don't just give a handout. Teach a person a skill which will benefit them in the long term. Handouts can dry up when the cause is no longer the "flavor of the month". Skills will ALWAYS be more appreciated by those who have been affected. The necklaces, earrings, bowls, and other items that these women have been taught to produce are unique and eye-catching. The prices they command in stores such as Macys are fantastic and proceeds are returned back to the organizations sponsoring the women. It's a win-win situation all around.

Kidderminster man had porn pictures
6:20am Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News
A 43-year-old Kidderminster man is facing a jail sentence after pleading guilty to sex offences involving a 15-year-old girl and to having porn pictures.
Mark McNeil, of Sutton Road, Kidderminster, admitted causing a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity and inciting or encouraging a child to look at a pornographic image, as well as having 48 indecent pictures at level one, the least serious, in February last year.
Judge Christopher Plunkett ordered a pre-sentence report and McNeil is due to return to Worcester Crown Court for sentencing on February 11.
He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register and banned from having any unsupervised contact with children under 16.

Problem with layout tabs:
I had a user claim "my layout tabs have dissappeared". Of course, I go to settings » display etc but that's already checked. I unchecked, apply, rechecked but no joy. Restart Acad, no joy. Opened another drawing using the same profile and the tabs are displayed - so it's drawing specific. I opened the offending drawing on my machine, same problem.
I set TILEMODE to 0, now I think I'm getting somewhere: ModelSpace tab displays and also a narrow Paperspace tab with no name. TILEMODE back to 1, the tabs are still visible but the paperspace tab has empty string name. I attempted to rename by rightclicking, no joy. Tried "-Layout" at the cmd line but that wouldn't let me rename it. Next I tried VBA to iterate through layout tabs until it found one with name = "". It finds the object okay, but then errors with "Layout doesn't exist to rename". Used the same loop (index based, not on string Name) to attempt toasting the tab....gives a similar error "Layout doesn't exist to delete", but it creates a new default layout tab anyway.
I've no idea how she ended up with a null named layout tab.
Any ideas people?
EDIT: Acad 2012 - English SP2 on Win7 64
Solved! Go to Solution.
try to open the drawing with command _RECOVER (instead of _OPEN).
Do you get now errors reporting ... and the layout-tabs back?
If you erase most of the objects in modelspace .. can you upload that drawing so we can look into it?
- alfred -
I tried a recover, but audit dectected no errors. Drawings attached to prove I'm not making this up!
I ran the LAYOUTWIZARD on the file and they both popped up.
Though with an odd blank layout in the middle.
strange, never seen this ...
Ok, open the drawing, save it as DXF and close AutoCAD.
Start an ascii-editor like Notepad++ (any editor that can handle a lot of data), search for this content:
At least search for the word "AcDbLayout" , there are not so much and see if the line after "AcDbLayout" is "1" and the second line after "AcDbLayout" is empty. If so you found the position for the empty layout name.
Change the name of the layout to that you like. So it looks as a sample like that:
Save the file in the ascii-editor, start AutoCAD and open that DXF
HTH, - alfred -
Thanks for looking at it Charles. I can create a new layout via other means, but I'm unable to nuke the toxic one.
I could create a new file and copy the mspace/pspace contents over, but the user reckons this has happened on other files so I'd like to get to the root cause.

text: First, I would like to say that I have enjoyed the music of Elis for years now. Sabine (RIP) had a beautiful voice and it is a tragedy that she died so young. Having said that, I like this new singer's voice even more than Sabine's. The music has become more involved and evolved. Any way you look at it, this is a very good album.

finally unloaded from the bash
I got home about 9pm central time last night. My father in law had another hour drive. Unloaded the tractors this afternoon. I want to thank everyone who helped me split and replace the clutch disc and pressure plate. Also thanks to Gary Dotson for his "straightening" of the main shaft. Hope to have the whole family there next year. As it turned out, my daughters softball games on Saturday were both cancelled. The weather on the drive home was perfect. No rain and no wind.
Re: finally unloaded from the bash
Good deal, Brian! I enjoyed spending some time with you!

A hearty welcome from Team Speed Kills. (Okay, so also a self-promoting welcome, but anyway...)
I'm glad to see we continue to add high-quality SEC bloggers to our ranks. We now have 10 team-specific blogs, in addition to TSK, which means the conference is nearly complete. And when we finally get Houston Nutt's Twitter page set up, that will make 11.
Enough with the jokes. Glad you've joined us at SBN -- Mississippi State Sports Blog provided quality coverage of the program, and I would expect nothing less here.

Prep Basketball: South Davidson girls 58, East Rowan 45
DENTON It has already been a long season for coach Danielle Porter and the East Rowan girls basketball team.
The winless Mustangs were uncharacteristically careless with the ball Friday night and dropped their second game, 58-45 at South Davidson.
There was a three-minute spurt where we let one mistake lead to another and then another, Porter said after East turned the ball over 27 times against SDs stifling press. We got rattled and started throwing the ball away. Thats not how you win.
East failed to capitalize on a distinct height advantage against South, a 1A squad that has captured the past two Yadkin Valley Conference tournament titles.
Yeah, we were definitely outsized, winning coach Fonda Jackson said with a postgame smile. We were afraid to get it in the middle until we discovered it was open.
Easts troubles didnt begin until the second quarter. The Mustangs played well early when they scored 11 unanswered points and used baskets by Kelli Fisher and Karleigh Wike to grab a 17-10 lead.
Then we started playing passive, said Wike, the 6-foot-4 junior post player. And we lost our heads. They took advantage of that.
Did they ever. The Wildcats strung together an 11-2 run to close the first half and went ahead for keeps, 21-19. when Larsen Sigmon sank a long set shot from the right side with 2:24 on the clock. Meanwhile East went seven-and-a-half minutes decisive without a field goal, a drought snapped when Lauren Thomas drained a 3-pointer midway through the third quarter. By then the Mustangs were fighting an uphill battle.
East had nine turnovers in the second period and 12 in the third. Predictably, they were outpointed 29-12 during that stretch. We made it easy for them, Porter said. We gave away chances. Plus our big girls were quiet around the basket. If were gonna make that much effort to get them the ball, theyre gonna have to finish.
Also missing was Easts signature self-assurance. We just didnt play with a lot of confidence, Thomas said after netting a team-best 16 points. Thats what we need to get better at. We need leaders. We need to all get on the same page.
East wasnt able to make any headway in the fourth quarter, but it showed signs of life when freshman Jocelyn Lowe and Thomas buried 3-balls and Fisher banked home a couple of layups. Wike snagged an offensive rebound and hit a putback and senior Sydney Poole closed the scoring with a 12-footer from the left side.
Our press was big in the second and third quarters, said Jackson. It helped us get some easy baskets off turnovers.
None of it was acceptable to Porter.
We were playing soft, letting them be the aggressor, she said. And they just took it and ran with it. When other teams can smell fear like that, they run with it.

Top NCAA official in full CYA mode over the ludicrous excessive celebration call.
Also, I'm SO glad that OU kicked Randy Edsall's UConn team's butt. I am SO freaking tired of Edsall and rest of the "technically, it was right" crowd. No, when it's called so inconsistently -- and is NEVER called in the situation it was called in during the Pinstripe Bowl -- then it's NOT right, in ANY sense.

A few months ago he was simply the number four receiver for the Jaguars but fast forward to the present and Cecil Shorts is now the number one wide receiver for the Jaguars and completely changed the Jaguars roster and outlook. One player can have a serious impact on a team's future. In the NFL, unlike the NBA or other leagues, teams have the ability to simply cut or release a player with little recourse. This is the reason why NFL rosters change so frequently and why the emergence of once player can significantly alter a team's roster. For the Jaguars, this season's emerging player has been Shorts who is on pace to become the first Jaguar's wide receiver to reach 1000 yards receiving since Jimmy Smith. Whether you realize it or not yet, Shorts has already had a profound effect not only on the 2012 Jaguars but also how the team will operate moving forward.
Entering this past preseason Cecil Shorts III was one of the many wide receivers fighting it out for a spot in a suddenly crowded wide receiver unit. With Laurent Robinson and Lee Evans added via free agency and Justin Blackmon draft #5 overall, there were some solid additions alongside the returning group of Shorts, Mike Thomas, Brian Robiske, and Taylor Price. Add in a few undrafted free agents like Kevin Elliot and suddenly there was a solid roster battle at the WR position. Shorts took the camp by storm however and most observers seemed impressed with the young wide receiver. Shorts strong camp seemed to solidify himself a roster spot and this was where he had his first impact on the 2012 roster. With Shorts camp performance the Jaguars quickly parted ways with receivers Taylor Price and Lee Evans. Evans a veteran addition had been added for cheap and with Shorts looking like the Jaguars #4 WR, the Jaguars saw no need to pay Evans over a million dollars to be the team's #5 WR. After a few underwhelming preseason games in comparison to Blackmon and Robiske, the Shorts mania cooled but still had a roster spot mostly guaranteed. Entering the regular season Short's continued to stay on the bench but as we all know he made an impact quickly with limited snaps and in Week 1 he was able to haul in an amazing 39 yard touchdown grab to tie the game up late. As the season has gone along however Short's didn't stay on the bench long. After many great catches and long TDs, finally in Week 7 with Robinson out via concussion Shorts became a starting WR. He hasn't been on the bench since. Taking full advantage of his chances, Shorts has raced out to an impressive 642 yard receiving and 5 touchdowns even in the league's worst offense. He has solidified himself as a starting WR for the Jaguars for the remainder of the season and most likely for the future.
The releasing of Evans, Price and Robiske were in large part due to Shorts' emergence as a solid WR option, but when he showed he was capable of becoming a go-to guy in the Jaguars offense, he again changed the Jaguars roster outlook. This time the victim was Mike Thomas who had only underperformed since his large contract extension early last season. Thomas was contributing next to nothing in the Jaguars offense and with Shorts becoming a starter the Jaguars felt there was no real reason to hold onto Thomas as they had Robinson, Blackmon and Shorts as capable starters. Thomas had become expendable. For the price tag of a 2014 5th round pick, Thomas was traded away. If you are keeping score at home, Shorts' break out year has affected how the Jaguars handled four different players who all found themselves traded or released because of it.
Shorts' performance this season has not simply been limited to effecting how the Jaguars make roster decisions but it has also affected the players around him. Take for instance Justin Blackmon who has accumulated 75% of his season receiving yards since Shorts became a starter (granted last week skews the numbers but still counts none the less). Or how about the Jaguar's QBs who have only posted one game below 200 yards passing since Shorts took over as starter. Gabbert and Henne even both had over 300 yards passing during the time Short's has started which is something no Jaguars QB did all last season. Cecil Shots has simply become a dynamic go-to playmaker which has in turn allowed the players around him to improve. It is something the Jaguar's desperately needed and it will have a profound effect on the future of the team.
While Short's big year has already impacted the Jaguars roster, it is his impact on the future of the Jaguars roster that will be the greatest. With Blackmon and Shorts at WR the Jaguars have a young starting duo that they can count on for the future. If Cecil Shorts had not developed into the starting WR that he is now, the issue of Laurent Robinson's concussions would have a lot larger impact on the Jaguars plans this offseason. Imagine Robinson's career possibly being over (best of luck to Robinson btw, concussions are life threatening so get well soon) and the Jaguars only having Justin Blackmon as a capable starter. It would make the WR position a position of need once again. With Shorts there however the Jaguars don't have to stress and can wait to see how Robinson feels as well as just pick up a WR in FA or late in the draft without feeling pressured to add more talent at the position. The Jaguars can instead now focus on other positions like OL or DE that are a lot more serious needs. For the first time since Jimmy Smith has left I can honestly say I am not worried about the WR position this offseason. Shorts and Blackmon are the future for us. Is the position the best it could be, no way, but at least Shorts has provided us with another capable starter that we so badly needed. Shorts big 2012 year simply has added stability to a position that has been basically been a game of musical chairs for years now.

More than 50,000 people are expected to fill Jones AT & T Stadium Saturday evening, and many Red Raider fans kicked off their holiday weekend wearing red and black at a tailgate.
The paint is back out and fans are sporting their favorite Red Raider football number again. "I got Graham this year," Texas Tech Senior David McDaniel said.
As another Texas Tech football season begins, Raiderville once again has student residents, who camp out for front row seats. "This is the Raiderville sign. We have a population of five. Hopefully by the Texas game we can get that number up to 600," McDaniel said.
While others rolled up in their Red Raider bus from the Dallas area. Terry Fuller has been to every Texas Tech Football game and nearly all the men's basketball games. "We do it on this bus. We had another bus similar to this bus that we had the first six years and we acquired this bus this week," Terry Fuller said.
Inside the bus, it is a moving sea of red and black. "You are in Red Raider land when you come into the shower," Fuller said.
While outside flat screens and food are set up for the nearly one hundred expected guests. "Chicken fajitas are on the list for today's pre-game. Post game it's more seafood," Linda Fuller added.
Outside the Jones AT & T Stadium, it is all about the barbeque. However, inside when the Red Raiders take the field, it means big money for Texas Tech.
"Ticket sales are a big part of our budget," Texas Tech Associate Athletic Director for Media Relations Chris Cook said.
To get Eastern Washington to play at the Jones Cook says it cost Tech more $300,000.
"We have a payout that we give them to help with travel expenses that they take back to campus and work into their budgets," Cooke said.
It is just the beginning of a season some say could be one of the Red Raiders best yet. The Red Raiders head to Nevada next. The Fullers tell us the bus will roll out Sunday as they make their way to Reno for the next tailgate.

Governor Rick Scott has directed state police to investigate the three justices appointed by Democrats.
At issue is re-election paperwork the justices filed, and how they filed it. The fallout from the investigation could reshape the state Supreme Court, which has happened in other states.
The reason why is that citizens vote whether or not to retain state Supreme Court justices once they are on the job, but the governor can appoint new justices if they get voted off.
The background: how and why the investigation started
Back in April, justices Barbara Pariente, Peggy Quince and Fred Lewis almost missed the deadline to go on the ballot.
In the last minute rush, reports show court staff helped them with their paperwork by notarizing it.
That's where they may have broken the law, because you cannot use state workers for campaign work during work hours.
Supporters of the justices contend that state employees routinely notarize candidates' papers, and election records show the four justices on the ballot in 2010 all had their paperwork notarized by court employees.
"Notaries do that all the time for all kinds of people," said Raoul Cantero, a former Supreme Court justice and chairman of Pariente's campaign. "That does not constitute using a state employee to assist a campaign."
The politics of health care
The justices under investigation were all appointed by former governor Lawton Chiles, a Democrat.
Now, those three justices are drawing opposition largely over the Supreme Court's decision two years ago to remove from the ballot a proposed state constitutional amendment sponsored by Rep. Scott Plakon, a Longwood Republican, and passed by the Republican-led legislature.
It would have made it illegal for Florida to require that citizens buy health insurance similar to a requirement in President Barack Obama's national health care overhaul. Republicans saw it as a way for voters to express their opposition to the federal legislation.
The high court pulled the 2010 amendment because it had an inaccurate and misleading ballot summary. The legislature has since then put a revised version on this year's ballot and passed a law allowing the attorney general to rewrite defective summaries.
The implications of the investigation
The FDLE could charge the justices, and if convicted, they could be removed from the bench.
But even if this FDLE investigation goes nowhere, the three justices still have a major public relations problem.
FOX 13 asked some people, if you heard the Supreme Court justices were under investigation for campaign violations, would you vote yes to keep them on the bench?
Most answered "no."
That's how conservative super-PACs can use the mere 'existence' of an investigation to take down these last three justices appointed by Democrats.
And that's how Governor Scott could wind up stacking the court.
"Mark my words, there will be a vicious attack on these three justices on anything you can imagine," Fitzgibbons said.
Attack ads in Iowa
It has happened before. Two years ago, conservative groups went after three Supreme Court justices in Iowa who supported gay marriage. It was the first time third party groups could pour limitless money into attack ads—and they did, big time.
"You can express your opinion about [the Iowa] chief justice and her husband hosting an underage drinking party for daughter at home," the announcer says in one ad.
LINK: Watch the ad here
The Iowa judges lost, the new Republican governor picked three new justices, and conservative groups vowed to take on others across the nation.
"There is no doubt the Iowa experience has changed the game," Fitzgibbons said.
The FDLE has not said how long it would take to conduct the investigation here. But there is little doubt this controversy over campaign papers will trigger a big push to reshape the Florida Supreme Court.

Exclusive: "I Think The Hip-Hop Crowd Really Celebrates Healthy Looking Women I Find Naturally Organic & Raw"
Friday, Dec 9, 2011 4:05PM
With hip-hop's fascination with women's backsides ranging from Amber Rose to Nicki Minaj, SOHH reached out to Culo photographer Raphael Mazzucco for his take on the butt craze.
Taking the artistic angle, Mazzucco feels hip-hop has always appreciated a woman's well-rounded body shape rather than only focusing on their bosoms.
"I managed to meet a lot of great people and over the last few years, I've been educated in such a way [on women's backsides] that I'm educated with almost a Harvard degree, [laughs], if that makes any sense. It's just like when you thought you've saw [all there is], you realize there's something even greater and bigger, and I think that's what makes [Culo] so fun. Every woman is so unique in their own way," Mazzucco told SOHH referring to America's fascination with women's backsides. "I think the hip-hop crowd really celebrates healthy looking women which I find naturally organic and raw. It's really suited to my style. When you put the two degrees together, I think it makes something very beautiful and it's wonderful." (SOHH)
Last month, Mazzucco talked about his emphasis on making his coffee table Culo book based on rumps.
"The whole reason this book started was because Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas, asked Jimmy Iovine for a million dollars to do a video in Brazil. He gave him the money, and Will came back with this video, with girls and their butts. Jimmy, when he saw that, he thought, I want to do a coffee table book like that! The whole inspiration started with the video and Jimmy's idea. Jimmy's from Brooklyn, so he went to his old neighborhood and talked to an old friend. He was telling the friend about the book he was working on with me and his friend said, "Oh you're doing a culo book!" And thats how the title came up. And we just ran with it." (VMan)
Nicki Minaj recently discussed fans' infatuations with her booty.
"I don't mind the question, I don't mind the fascination. It's all good," she said. "I've said this before. It doesn't define me, so I try my best not to focus my energy on it. Like if you guys focus energy on it, I don't mind it. if people are sitting in a barbershop talking about my butt, it's conversational. That's what people are going to do. As long as they're talking about Nicki Minaj, it's good." ("Full Throttle")
In November, Amber Rose gave her post-reaction to losing a butt comparison contest to reality star Kim Kardashian.
"I appreciate [XXL doing that]. When [Hot 97 radio host Peter Rosenberg] asked me that, I said, 'Yeah, I have a bigger booty than her,' but I didn't think it would be everywhere. It was everywhere! It turned out to be a big deal. Congrats Kim! [Laughs]. She's way more famous than me, she has way more followers and she's been out a much longer time than me. It's only right. I'll win next time. [laughs]" (XXL Mag)
Raphael Mazzucco's new Culo book is currently available for purchase.

My dog has long hair and I'd like to have a way to prevent snowballs from sticking to him and making him cold. Have you ever seen those hunks of snow that stick to a dog's fur when the temperature drops, snow is on the ground, and your dog needs a walk? Or maybe your dog wants to play in the snow. What about a dog snowsuit?
I also need something to keep my very white dog from becoming a very muddy dog during the fall and cooler spring nights when taking him for walks.
Thanks to the Hurtta Outdoor Dog Overall, all my dog outdoor element needs are met.
I even video taped my dog using it: http://youtu.be/LY06-HHbboc
The Hurtta collection has been designed for the everyday life and all seasons of an active dog. Hurtta has over 10 years of experience in the development of functional clothing for dogs. This is evident not only in the durability of the garments, but also in their practicality and safety.
It is Hurtta's objective to develop clothes for several different breeds and various uses. The guiding principle is that the technical features of a dog's clothes should be at least as good as those of its owner's outdoor clothing.
Before any Hurtta product is ready for launch, it has gone through hundreds of hours of testing and fitting by its designers.
The rough behavior that is characteristic of dogs is a challenge to the durability and functionality of materials and structures. In order to guarantee the high quality of its products, Hurtta commissions testing of the suitability of each and every material for dog clothing by a non-partial textile laboratory.
Hurtta's popularity is based on decades of development, an uncompromising attitude and constant improvement. A thorough knowledge of the target group is the basis of all our operations.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Foreign Language, Other Festivals, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalRutger, we hardly knew you.
Don't worry; he's not dead (his career, now, that's open for discussion ... but I digress). The actor who 99% of the population know as "the guy from Blade Runner" has had a documentary made about his life -- no, really, a whole movie!
Written and directed by Simone de Vries, (Kinky Friedman: Proud to Be an Asshole from El Paso) Blond, Blue Eyes premiered last week at the Dutch Film Festival, and follows Hauer through a bizarre array of locations ranging from a farm in the Netherlands to his personal yacht (Rutger Haur has a yacht? I guess residuals from Buffy the Vampire Slayer still come in after all).
Hauer is currently working on his autobiography, so here's hoping there's at least one anecdote from the set of Blind Fury. The man also plans to direct a feature about Dutch banker Wally van Hall who saved thousands during WWII. (Think of it as Schindler's List, but with windmills.)

After 25 minutes, not much of substance has happened in this one. The Houston Dynamo are keeping their shape well and hoofing long balls out of the back, while the Philadelphia Union look too congested in the middle, aren't utilizing the flanks, and it's tough to figure out what their plan is. For neutrals, it's a bit boring thus far.
However, the Dynamo fans have to be pleased with what they're seeing. Sure, it would be nice for the home side to add a goal and finish off the Union, but their strategy is working so far. The team seems confident that they can hold onto this clean sheet, and the Union haven't done anything yet to suggest that they can break the deadlock.
Until Philadelphia scores - and that would require a fluke at this rate - this game is going to stay a bit dull.

Children and young people who find it difficult to use or develop speech must be given access to a way of communicating with others. The systems are called Alternative Augmentative Communication, which is often shortened to AAC.
Using AAC serves the same function and purpose as speech and therefore should support the person to make requests, comment on the environment and share information with others (e.g. label objects), answer questions or have a conversation. All of these systems give the person a voice, a way of controlling their environment and a way of getting their needs and wants met.
There is no one system that is better than the rest, it is about finding the one that uses your child's strengths and what they can do to support what they currently can't. To ensure that the right decision is made, and make sure your child is set up to succeed, it's really important that you seek guidance from a professional before trying any AAC system with your child.
Symbols represent a word or idea you might want to say in a picture format. There are different symbol systems in use around the UK but it is important that you choose the one you think clearly represents the item or activity. You can also use photos or objects to convey a meaning.
The symbols or photos can be presented in different ways to support communication with others from having a few important symbols on a key chain, a communication board with a range of symbols on a page to a communication book where the vocabulary is organised in categories such as 'food', 'familiar people' etc. Typically the symbol or photo would have a word underneath, the person using it would point to the symbol or photo and the person 'listening' would read back what they are pointing to.
Often called PECS it teaches children to spontaneously communicate by exchanging or giving symbols to someone else. The person will have their own binder in which they have symbols or photos to represent all the items or activities that they really enjoy or are motivated to request and comment on. To find out more go to: www.pecs.org.uk
Signing is a way of using hand movements and shapes to communicate a meaning. The person must learn to make the signs and one of the best ways of someone learning how to do something is by seeing others using it around them all the time. That means that to make communication effective everyone interacting with that person must learn what the signs mean and learn to make them themselves.
There are different systems used across the UK such as Makaton, Signalong and signed English. British Sign Language is a language used by deaf people therefore requires specialist support from native or fluent users of British Sign Language.
We can also use these visual systems i.e. symbols and signing to help the person understand what we are saying to them or help them understand their environment (such as where the kitchen is or where items are stored in cupboards)
VOCA includes a wide range of devices that produce a spoken word to help the person communicate. They can range from ones that say a single message to a touch screen that allows you to build sentences. Although these devices may appear more beneficial because they actually speak it is very important that the needs and skills of the person that will be using are fully considered to make sure it will be functional for them.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014Wonderful atmosphere amazing food and excellent serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner among the BottlesSparkyVIPDined on 8/28/2014The restaurant is divided into two sections - a wine store with tables and a smaller separate dining area.Overall, the food was quite good and the wine list ($!0 discount on Thursday) includes many interesting wines. The Brussels sprouts ($4.00) make a great appetizer and are very tasty. The dinner menu is not extensive but what we had (hamburger and pasta) were nicely done. Service was very good (Abbey) and contributed to a very pleasant dining experience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- ConsistencyOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/25/2014We have eaten at Iron Bridge hundreds of times. Have yet to be dissappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still the perfect noteFerliseVIPDined on 8/24/2014Has been a while since dining here but Iron Bridge continues to deliver. Burrata and tomato jam delicious, brussel sprouts delicious and a perfectly cooked buttery trout were highlights, as well as unbelievably tender sous vide pork in a peach glaze on a bed of hominy/bacon sauté made for a great Sunday dinner, topped off with a light key lime panna cotta. A sure thing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time thereColumbia2Dined on 8/23/2014The decor is very cozy and welcoming, but too dimly lit in some spots. We had a small table for two in the back section and there was no direct light from above, no candle on the table or wall sconce nearby. We had to use our cell phones to illuminate the menu well enough to see it. Although its known for its wine selection, we both opted for specialty cocktails and were pleased with those. The apps and starters were very good, but the entrees fell somewhat short in comparison. The NY strip steak I ordered was cooked beyond my requested medium, and the scallop portions on my wife's entree were stingy to say the least. Cost vs. result...we've had better elsewhere for less. It might be worth visiting for the wine, though.Special Features:
- Hidden GemluvfinerthingsDined on 8/22/2014The Iron Bridge Wine Company was a pleasant surprise to my husband and myself and was exceptional from the service to the food and wine. It was our wedding anniversary and they provided complimentary champagne. The staff even gave us a card congratulating us on our joyous occasion. I would definitely visit the establishment again!! I had the Lobster and Shrimp Risotto and my husband had the pan-seared scallops. Both dishes were delicious and the sauces were perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PleasantOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014Perfect place for pleasant conversation and wonderful food and service.Special Features:
- Never Disappointed!DebbieVIPDined on 8/21/2014My husband and I dined here on his birthday and we had a wonderful dinner. The food never disappoints. Fish dishes are especially well done. Our server was knowledgeable and we enjoyed a great bottle of wine. All in all a great evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/18/2014I went there a few years ago and did not have a good experience so when I received a gift certificate I was not really excited to go but I was pleasantly surprised. On my first visit I found the plates ridiculously small and wine prices too high although service was good. All these issues were corrected and I will be back!Special Features:
- A Night with FriendsBridgedenizensDined on 8/17/2014We've been to most of DC's highest-rated restaurants, others around the country, and a few in Europe. Although many were superlative, the Bridge beats them all in friendly atmosphere and value. It's simply the best place to have excellent wine with consistently excellent (sometimes exceptional), imaginative dishes using the best ingredients, at fair price. The wine list is extensive and very reasonably priced--the markup is a flat $10 over already fair (often best in town) prices. Wow! The Bridge has been our favorite place to be for more than a decade, and will remain our restaurant of choice for fine-dining, and evening with friends, or just a nice lunch or dinner because....Special Features:
- Small place, great atmosphere/foodMattBDined on 8/16/2014This is a small place that has an upscale feel to it, in between casual and fine dining. The food was displayed well and tasted great. They have an extensive wine list and their service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend to anyone, I would say reservations are a must. Also of note, I would leave the children under teenage years at home for this one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a great experienceRichG1984Dined on 8/15/2014I took a girl out here for our first date on Saturday night. I had never been to Iron Bridge before but heard nothing but good things. I was not let down. They have a great selection of wines and a staff who is familiar enough with it to make meaningful recommendations. The food there was excellent, I had a duck beast special and the lovely lady had the asparagus salad. Overall, it was a great experience. I will define be coming back for more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful food & wine!mbsafoodloverDined on 8/13/2014DH and I had a great impromptu dining experience here at Iron Bridge. It was our 3rd time, and we have never been disappointed at all with the food or the wine. We like the fact that the servers are knowledgeable about the wine and suggest very nice pairings based on a client's stated preferences. Just top notch all around. The charcuterie plate is not to be missed - we tend to order it every time we come, as it seems to change seasonally. Always meets our (now high) expectations. The 3 items (starter, dinner & dessert) for $38 was a nice surprise (I think it was for restaurant week). We always seem to buy at least one of the wines we've ordered by the glass, also. The retail prices for that wine is also competitive. Recommended!Special Features:
- Always Enjoyablekay2838Dined on 8/13/2014This last time, I was to meet a friend for lunch; however, she had called in the morning to say she was going to recover from cold, and wanted to re-schedule. I missed the call, and ended up having a delicious omelet and glass of wine solo.Special Features:
- Great if you don't want to talkTripaddictionVIPDined on 8/12/2014So as always the food was great, wines interesting and service good. However it is IMPOSSIBLE to hold a conversation without screaming. We spent the entire evening saying "say that again?" And "what was that?". Totally frustrating to have such a distraction from the otherwise very good restaurant. Put some carpet down and some curtains up to improve the acoustics!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, good servicennebbDined on 8/11/2014Deserving of its excellent reputation, we had a lovely birthday dinnerSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- one of my favorite restaurantsMermaidDined on 8/10/2014I just love going to Iron Bridge Winery. It's always a hit with guests & for special occasionsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a winner!savta3Dined on 8/10/2014The food is always delicious and beautifully plated. Service is attentive without being intrusive. Our only wish is that they had better sound-quieting materials on the ceiling and floors. It is a very small place, and active conversations tend to reverberate, even more so for those of us with hearing aids. We try to accommodate for this by going early and finishing before the crowds come. Be sure to sign up for their birthday and anniversary specials.Special Features:
- InconsistentfoodExpertDined on 8/9/2014The service is consistently good but the food is unpredictable. Sometimes, is fabulous and other time is disappointing.Special Features:
- always a pleasure at Iron BridgeTheresaDined on 8/9/2014... when you are able to actually get a reservation or arrive early enough to be seated within a reasonable time. Definitely make a reservation and then enjoy the wonderful food that is fresh, local, seasonal and prepared very well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb lunchPatRDined on 8/8/2014My friend and I both enjoyed our selections. The wine was a delightful addition to the meal. Our servers were friendly, professional and were attentive without being overbearing. I have been there several times and I look forward to returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fair Farm to Table RestaurantAprilADined on 8/6/2014Our Go-to is Woodberry Kitchen but we thought we'd try something more local. The food was tasty, but the portions were off. The creamy corn chowder was so heavy and with a big portion I really filled up. I couldn't but a few bites of the pork I ordered. My dessert portion was huge (panna cotta) but my husband's (ice cream cone) was tiny. The wine was wonderful and the server was very helpful when it came to choosing the right wine. I would go back but I still think Woodberry has the best farm to table experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A hidden gemBrianDined on 8/3/2014People might drive by this small restaurant set in the rolling hills of Columbia, but inside are some of the best wines and chef-perfected dishes I've ever tasted. Worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasure!LyrexisDined on 8/3/2014This is my third time going, and they have stayed consistent in their excellent food, great wine, and superior customer service!Special Features:
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/2/2014Great food, wine & service. The restaurant staff were all very friendly & prompt to serve us.Special Features:
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/1/2014Went for Howard County restaurant week. They do not skimp by offering the entire menu as part of the deal. Wine selection was awesome, waitress was very helpful in making recommendations that did not disappoint.Special Features:
- 31 JulyRLA52Dined on 7/31/2014Both entrees excellent (pork chop sous-vide and shrimp-lobster risotto) as were salads and desserts. Suggested wine (dry riesling) excellent with both entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a little gem improvesf1fanDined on 7/30/2014it started small, and now it's grown in size and popularity. Reservations highly recommend (once upon a time they didn't take them), and it will be worth it. The wine is still the draw, but the food is an excellent support. A definite place to return.Special Features:
- Best in ColumbiaRWoodBVIPDined on 7/29/2014While the lunch menu is limited, all of the dishes I have tried have consisted of quality ingredients that have been prepared with attention to detail. The mussels the restaurant serves are more plump than at any other restaurant I frequent, and the broth balances the garlic particularly well with the other ingredients. The $18 lunch special, which includes an appetizer and an entree, is a very good value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service & Excellent FoodKennDined on 7/27/2014We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday at Iron Bridge Wine Company in Columbia. It began with a birthday card from the restaurant staff and ended with an amazing chocolate bread pudding. Looking forward to our next visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Return VisitJohnDined on 7/27/2014The Columbia area has several choices for fine dining. The Iron Bridge Wine Company is at the top of our list. We had a special occasion to celebrate, so I made reservations a day in advance. No problem. We arrived late on a Sunday afternoon. Parking was no problem. The restaurant was busy, but not crowded. We were seated immediately. The waitress was courteous, attentive, and knowledgable. She explained the composition of their specials and suggested an excellent wine pairing. Our orders arrived promptly. The preparation was artistically stunning. Although the restaurant's setting (right on Rt 108) and its interior are not fancy, the food is outstanding. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection.Special Features:
- great environmentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014The food was great, the service was great, I will definitely keep coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love!BrownfoodgroupieDined on 7/25/2014We love this restaurant- from wine list to dessert! Staff friendly, knowledgable and engaging! Just took friends for their 50th anniversary, who had never been there before , & they loved it! Try buying your wine there too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Hope for MoreFrequentdinerDined on 7/22/2014We go to Aida every now and then and I always hope for an somewhat better experience given the prices. The food lacked seasoning and my appetizer was served lukewarm. Waitress was overbearing and then disappeared. Wine is interesting, but seems overpriced and is served in cheap glasses. Best part was sitting on the porch on a beautiful summer evening.Special Features:
- Iron Bridge is the bestkeygrip19Dined on 7/20/2014Birthday dinner at Iron Bridge did not disappoint. Food, service, wine the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good choiceBeebotDined on 7/20/2014When a couple with whom we are friends recently asked my wife and me to suggest a place where we could meet for "a glass of wine and small plates," I immediately thought of the Iron Bridge. As always, it turned out to be an excellent choice. We shared a couple of very nice bottles of wine, and--after the large, noisy party of diners at the table next to ours finished and left--lingered to enjoy the ambiance and each others' company. It made for a lovely Sunday evening, and a fine way to finish off the weekend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date Night DinerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/19/2014My husband and I frequent Iron Bridge Wine Company for our child free date nights. On this particular occasion we were celebrating my Half Birthday which Iron Bridge honors by sending a postcard offering half off your appetizer, entree and dessert up to $22. We had a 5:15pm reservation which is required for a Saturday evening and we were surprised that they seat us upon arrival at 4:50pm. Our waiter was amazing, he wasn't overbearing but showed up just when we needed him. My husband ordered the Lobster and Corn Bisque and soft shell crab entree and raved about how great it was. I had the Chef's Signature Stake and I felt it was under seasoned and over cooked which is the first time I have ever had anything bad to say about this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better for Wine ConnoisseurLizNDaveDined on 7/18/2014We first went to Iron Bridge ~2009 and were really impressed. While we'd been to fine dining establishments before, this was the first time we had thought the food was worth the price tag that came with it. We've been less impressed with subsequent visits, but still enjoy the restaurant as the place we go for special occasions (in part due to gift certificates we've had). Perhaps some of the draw is lost on us as we're not really wine connoisseurs, but the food should provide consistent home runs on its own. For our next special outing we'll likely try someplace new.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always fabulousPhalgalDined on 7/16/2014We love Iron Bridge - great food, great service. Don't skip dessert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- had a reservation but..OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/14/2014I made a reservation, but when I got there was seated in the bar area rather than the dining room. Neither was full so I felt I was "sorted" and deemed not dining room worthy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Kindergartners at one Belvidere school get ready to learn from each other.
Seth Whitman Elementary held an orientation on Monday for families to check out the school's new dual-language program. Each of the two new classes is a 50-50 mix of students; one half primarily speaks English, the other half speaks Spanish. Classroom instruction is given in each language.
School principal Nicole Difford says the program is a great way for kids to increase their marketability for the future, when they go out searching for jobs. "It's also a great way to expand students' ability to learn and think and reason. The more languages you know, the broader perspective you have."
Next year, the dual-language program will also include first graders.

LAPEL, Ind. —
One man is dead.
Two different versions of events leading to his death exist.
Three men are suspected of playing a role in it.
The math of Spencer Smith's slaying early Tuesday doesn't add up yet, and likely won't until investigators finish piecing together the equation.
These are the latest developments in the case:
- Madison County Sheriff's Department detectives arrested two brothers on Thursday, Jonathon Dean Wood, 19, and Joshua Michael Wood, 23.
Both were neighbors of Smith's, and cousins of Malcolm D. Cobb who was taken into police custody the morning of the shooting. They all live at a group of duplex homes in the 6400 block of West County Road 300 South in Stoney Creek Township.
- Like Cobb, 45, the two men are being held at the Madison County Jail on a preliminary charge of murder, said Sheriff Ron Richardson.
Cobb's initial court hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. today. It was not clear late Thursday when the Wood brothers will have theirs.
- Detectives are continuing to follow leads and conduct interviews with potential witnesses.
- The Sheriff's Department released a 911 recording in which Cobb told dispatchers he shot Smith four times. In the recording, Cobb said he was acting in self-defense.
Tim Wood, father of the two men taken into custody on Thursday, said Cobb was the aggressor.
"I have a situation here," Cobb told the 911 dispatcher about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. "I was attacked by somebody and they tried to stab me and went inside and got a gun and tried to shoot me."
Cobb said he and Smith got into an argument when Cobb accused him of raping and abusing an 18-year-old young woman.
"He didn't like what I had to say about people who do that, and that's when he decided, he said, he was going to kill me," Cobb said.
The two men struggled; first with a knife, and then with a handgun, he said.
Dispatcher: "Where in his body was he shot?"
Cobb: "I can't tell you, I don't know. The gun just kept going off. It was an automatic, a 9 mm (pistol), I believe. There were four or five shots, something like that. He just wouldn't quit coming."
A few moments later Cobb said Smith had "no reason to rape that little girl and hurt her ... He decided he was going to take matters into his own hands. I didn't mean to do this, but I couldn't let him shoot my cousin. I couldn't let him, I couldn't let him."
Just before police arrived at the scene, the dispatcher asked Cobb where Smith was in the house.
"He's in the bedroom leaning against the wall with blood everywhere," Cobb replied. "And he's white and blue. I don't think an ambulance is going to help him."
Although it still remains unclear what brought all the men together at that hour of the morning, Tim Wood said it was Cobb who threatened Smith, holding a knife to his throat at one point. Wood's account was based on what his sons told him.
The two brothers tried to defuse the situation, convince Cobb to put down the knife, Wood said. At that point, Cobb allegedly turned on one of his sons and threatened to hurt him.
"They were trying to talk him (Cobb) out of doing anything." Wood added.
Madison County Coroner Marian L. Dunnichay said Smith died from four gunshot wounds in his torso. She said ballistics and toxicology reports from an autopsy should be complete in about two weeks.
In late 2009, Cobb was accused of raping a woman he threatened at knife point at his home in Anderson. He was charged with rape, battery with a deadly weapon and domestic battery. He is scheduled to stand trial in late February.
Funeral services for Smith will be held at 4 p.m. today at Randall & Roberts Funeral Home in Noblesville.

|Iran liberalizes steel exports to give incentive to domestic producers
TEHRAN – Iran has liberalized exports of steel products until the end of spring in a bid to give an incentive to domestic producers, the Iranian deputy industry minister said on Sunday.
