GREEN CREEK - The family of Sammy Caraballo III, Woodbine, has reported online the death of the 21-year-old man who was hurt in a hit and run accident on Route 47 at about 1:10 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 24.
According to the website: "It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Sammy Caraballo III. Sammy could light up a room and melt your heart with his smile. Let's celebrate the fact that he graced us with his presence for 21 years. Rest in peace SC3."

At the time of the accident, Kristen Schwakoff, 25, North Wildwood, was charged with leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury after police said she struck two people while driving her canvas-topped Kia Sport.
Officers responding to the accident said Ryan Burton, 25, Whitesboro, was thrown to the side of the road.
Caraballo, however, landed in the back seat of Schwakoff's vehicle after being struck, police said.
Police said that night that a witness followed Schwakoff's vehicle south on Route 47 after the accident, and then onto Fulling Mill Road. Police said the witness was honking the car horn to signal the person to stop.
Burton was taken to Cape Regional Medical Center for treatment, where he was treated and released, according to Susan Staeger, hospital spokeswoman.
Caraballo was flown to Atlanticare Regional Medical Center for treatment.
The Facebook page of Middle Township Athletics has offered condolences to the Caraballo family.
"Our deepest condolences to the family of Sammy Caraballo, a former Middle Township High School student, who passed away on Saturday due to injuries he suffered in a hit-and-run incident. Sammy is the son of Sam Caraballo, volunteer Panthers football and baseball coach, and brother of Marcus, a sophomore," reads the statement.
On Monday, Middle Township Police Capt. John Edwards confirmed the death of Caraballo, and said the accident is still under investigation.

Cave Explorers Find Wallet Lost 17 Years Ago
Joseph Sweet and a friend got lost in a cave in Watertown, N.Y., nearly 20 years ago. They grew so desperate for light that Sweet made little torches out of the only fuel he had, taking dollar bills from his wallet and setting them on fire. The good news: he got rescued. The bad news: he lost his wallet.

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
Seventeen years ago, Joseph Sweet and a friend went into a cave in Watertown, New York and got lost inside. They grew so desperate for light that Mr. Sweet made little torches out of the only fuel he had, taking dollar bills from his wallet and setting them on fire. On top of everything else, he lost the wallet. He was finally rescued. And now, 17 years later, different cave explorers found the wallet, still with ID, and returned it.

Bad shower couldnt get good spray from shower head because The spicket lifter was broken. Beds uncomfortable. No heat was on and it was 0 temps when we arrived.
The rooms are reasonably large, clean and modern. Nice flat screen TV with a fair number of channels. Easy access to I-90 and restaurants in the area
The breakfast was pretty weak, but this is what I think about most free breakfasts at hotels of this star level.
I liked the proximity to the highway. There were also a lot of businesses around.
It could have been cleaner, but it was great for the price.
It's a charming place with a lot of history. There are restaurants nearby, so you don't have to get back in your car and worry about how much beer you've had. I recommend the Talcottville Brewing Company - excellent food, excellent atmosphere.
The bed was so-so, but OK.
Out door patio, dining room, staff, very good. Unlimited coffee in foyer Parking accomadated handicap. Included breakfast , choice of meat eggs etc above average
accomadations not of good quality,sink/bathtub had chips,rust Rug was dirty and stained,sofa/chair also,18 inch TV Prior occupants left boxes from purchases in desk and not cleaned out (2 Frost & tint, Gillet shaving kit) Bed clean but old mattress/pill
staff was very friendly and helpful. hotel was nice and clean and the key cards worked every time
internet issues
Not too big. excelent service of Breakfast
location of Paper for toilet is not proper
The staff were very friendly. Room was nice and very clean. Breakfast was a nice touch. Would I stay there again ? Yes I would.
The fan from the heater was loud. Made it hard to get to sleep. Maybe that is something they could work on. I didn't like the pillows. But then again I like harder pillows and most hotels don't hard harder pillow.
very clean and comfortable
I like it
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Born in a village in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, François Luambo Luanzo Makiadi became known throughout Africa simply as Franco – or by his nickname, the "Sorcerer of the Guitar". In 1960, he emerged as the leader of OK Jazz when singer Vicky Longomba left the band, and he stayed at its helm through several metamorphoses until his death aged 51 in 1989. By then, soukous as it was known, was the sound of the continent, and state radio played nothing but his songs for four days.

Junior Member
Hi, I'm new to the forums, so I'm not sure if I am posting at the right place, if not, please help me move this or submit it to the right person/place. Basically, I was in a game, but after around 8 minutes (I believe), four members of our team were disconnected, I was the only one who didn't on our team, not separately, but all at the same time, literally. The enemy team was totally fine though, and had no issues, which subsequently led to our lose, because our team was at a disadvantage in level, money, items and kills by the time everyone reconnected. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me in the few months I have played this game. I've asked in chat and confirmed, only two of the four were part of a premade (Teemo and Evelynn, if I remember correctly), so it would not be an internet issue where they all shared the same internet connection, therefore, internet failure is not the case. Coincidence? Is it not too coincidental for all four to disconnect at the very same time? And all from the same team? Pushing a little too far to call it all coincidences, don't you think? At first, I thought it was a server issue, in which if an admin confirms it to be the case, I hope our team is somehow compensated for our forced loss, as it was not our fault, but rather, a server bug. But during the game, a team mate suggested that it was more likely a hack that forced them to disconnect, as it ONLY happened to OUR team, with the enemy team not being affected at all in any way, not even one member. If this is the case, I hope the admins can look into this case and ban the offender. We confronted them, but they obviously denied the hacking accusation, because if they admitted it, it'd be solid proof in the chat log, which can be easily accessed. I've attached a picture of the Overview of the match after the game, so it shows everyone who was in the game, and hopefully it can aid and assist in the investigation of the issue. If any further information is needed, I will try my best to provide. I sincerely hope the admins can look into this, because this seriously affects gameplay. If it's a server bug, then it will affect more players in the future, if it is a hacker, then this person will continue to ruin games for more people in the future. Game finished 21/07/2012, roughly 01:00 BST. From, DanteLovesPizza
It was most likely the server. It has happened (on extremely rare cases when the servers are taking a royal poop) that my team has disconnected, while the others have been fine.
The Skesh
Never seen any sort of hack on League, I am assuming something was really glitchy on the server. My friends and I have all 5 disconnected at once for apparently no reason. Alot can come to play in that though. Location, Internet Provider, etc. Not any sort of hack I assure you.
Sacredify, did you get any compensation for it? I've got an extra for no reason now. D: The Skesh, I see. I don't know why everyone is so confident on the LoL server, because I've seen and heard hacks on many game servers, what makes this one so special every seems to doubt hacks? Location/ISP wise, well, like I said, only 2 out of the 4 that disconnected were premade, and if I remember correctly, they had different pings, i.e. did not share the same internet connection, so I doubt it's anything to do with location or ISP. Nonetheless, dodgy server fail. Lucky enemy? -.-" Hopefully an admin reads this and gets the issue fixed. Thanks for the responses.

Prosecution throws up 3 scenarios of liaison
It says the pair had affair from 2009 to 2010, and that Sue lied in court
Three versions of the relationship between Ng Boon Gay and Ms Cecilia Sue were presented in court on Monday by the prosecution, as it sought to show that its key witness had been lying on the stand.
1. Ng and Ms Sue had been in an intimate sexual relationship from 2009 until the end of last year.
2. Ng and Ms Sue had been in a consensual sexual relationship from 2009 until September or October 2010.
3. The pair had never been in any intimate or sexual relationship.
Background story
What was Ng and Sue's relationship?
They were having an affair from 2009 to late 2011
They were having an affair from 2009 to Sept/Oct 2010
There was no intimate or sexual relationship
What she said
THE prosecution yesterday read out more extracts of Ms Cecilia Sue's statements to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau, to show there was a physical relationship between Ng Boon Gay and her from 2009 to late 2010:
- "I wanted to put a stop to our relationship after the birth of my child in May 2010. I decided to end this relationship in September or October 2010... Between Aug 26, 2010 and July 2011, there was no physical intimacy between me and Boon Gay."
- "We were looking at each other's eyes when I told him I wanted to end the relationship with him... Boon Gay said he would not push me if I refused to, therefore... he understood what I had said."
AFTER the statements were read, Ms Sue sought to explain the discrepancies with her court testimony:
- "Initially when I was being brought in (to CPIB), I was confused and frightened. I... just didn't want to implicate anyone... Intimate relationship here is like close friend. If you talk about advances he made on me... yes he did try, but doesn't mean it's successful."

Young people take over Theatre Royal Stratford East
Young poets, writers, actors and composers are taking over Theatre Royal Stratford East this week as part of the theatre's latest Young People's Season.
Among the new works on show are four plays and a series of performances from the theatre's poets and spoken word artists.
One play, Flat Lives by the Young Artists Lab, follows the lives of people living in four blocks of flats in Stratford.
Making her directing debut as one of four people in charge of the production is 20-year-old Erica Jeffrey from Waltham Forest.
She said: "I think looking at the lives of local people is really interesting. We felt the community needed a voice after all the hype of the Olympics and how that affected people living nearby."
Erica has been working with Theatre Royal for four years through State of The Nation and hopes to become an actor after completing her studies at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
She said: "Working on this play is a great chance to work with new, upcoming artists and to help develop community relations and awareness."
Also on the bill is a short play from Newham's Rokeby Secondary School students with Child Soldier, inspired by Theatre Royal's iconic production of Oh What a Lovely War.

text: House passes bill on abortion fundingFrom Deirdre Walsh, CNN Congressional ProducerUpdated 8:38 PM ET, Thu October 13, 2011Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pennsylvania, sponsored the Protect Life Act, which would bar federal subsidies for health plans that provide abortion services.Story highlightsBill passes with overwhelming Republican supportHouse Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi condemns measureAmendment would bar funding for health plans providing abortion servicesSenate unlikely to take up measure; Obama promises vetoThe U.S. House passed a bill Thursday that would amend the health care law to bar federal funding for health plans that provide abortion services.The vote was 251 in favor and 170 against.The bill, the Protect Life Act, was sponsored by Pennsylvania Republican Joe Pitts and gathered overwhelming Republican support. Only two Republicans voted against it, along with all but 15 Democrats.House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi condemned the bill during earlier debate, arguing that if it passed, "women can die on the floor and health care providers do not have to intervene."Democrats opposed to the bill charged that the GOP majority was ignoring the nation's top priority and instead spending time on a bitterly divisive issue."Instead of focusing on jobs, Republicans are continuing to wage their war on women," California Democrat Barbara Lee said on the House floor.But GOP leaders emphasized the House spent the bulk of the week on proposals like the three free trade agreements that passed Wednesday aimed at boosting job creation. They explained Thursday's vote was simply following through on a campaign promise that House Republicans made when they outlined their agenda in the run-up to the 2010 elections."We've done four or five solid job-creation bills this week and this bill was part of our Pledge to America. We are keeping our word to the American people, and we are going to do it," House Speaker John Boehner said.Supporters of the measure argued that the health care law contains a loophole that allows those receiving federal subsidies to use the money to enroll in health care plans that allow abortion services. Abortion rights advocates maintain the bill is unnecessary because existing laws already bar any taxpayer money from underwriting abortion procedures. During the health care debate, President Barack Obama signed an executive order stating no federal funds could be used in the new health care exchanges created in the law. Pro-abortion-rights groups like Planned Parenthood also maintain the bill adds a new restriction. Currently, hospitals that receive federal funds but don't have facilities to treat women who may need emergency abortion services are directed to transfer those patients to a health care facility that can treat them. The Pitts bill removes that requirement. A day after the House passed the three trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea with sizable bipartisan votes, debate in the House chamber on the abortion bill Thursday was heated and at times became personal.Rep. Jackie Speier, D-California, who revealed last year that she suffered a miscarriage and required a procedure to end her pregnancy, accused Republicans of being "absolutely misogynist" for bringing up the bill. But Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-North Carolina, responded, "The misogyny comes from those who promote the killing of unborn babies." Foxx said the bill was not about taking away any existing rights, but restricting the use of federal money. She cited opinion polls showing that more than three-quarters of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortions. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida, disputed Democrats who repeatedly argued that Obama's 2010 executive order made it clear women would have to use private funds to pay for any abortion services. "It is flawed because executive orders can disappear as quickly as they are issued. But the Protect Life Act will create a solid framework that will safeguard taxpayer dollars," Ros-Lehtinen said.The Senate is not expected to take up the bill and the White House issued a veto threat on the Protect Life Act on Wednesday.More from politicsNetanyahu rails against Iran nuclear deal - in 100 secondsNetanyahu speech: Fact-checking 5 key claimsGraham apologizes for Pelosi 'surgeries' commentPowered by Livefyre

Message from the Director
The thinking on ethics in business schools has evolved rapidly in the past decade.
No longer just focusing on the lessons of 'not to do bad,' ethics has migrated to the role of leadership and governance for the promotion of 'doing good,' be it environmentalism, fairness in governance or social responsibility.
Rapid advances in research show that people are not isolated but are hardwired to be engaged, and that shared social values create economic value. In a time of challenges to the viability of the public firm, competitive sustainability is renewed through a modern and ethical conception of corporate behavior.

=============== OLD Thornmail =================== +70 Armor UNIQUE Passive: On being hit by standard attacks, returns 20% of damage taken as magic damage =============== NEW Thornmail ================== UNIQUE Passive: Blocks (25 + (3% x AP))% of physical damage 100% of the time and returns 100% of the damage that was blocked back as magical damage. Reduces enemy lifesteal effects by 40%. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================= It seems a lot people liked the idea of upgrading via AP from my other posts and many still were sidelines about whether to allow stacking. Also many didn't like how the current model becomes obsolete. so i think this version is a good compromise that solves all those issues. notice how unique this item is. it dosent make use of armor stat, yet protects always as well early, mid and late game. also, by removing the armor element there is nothing restricting/reducing the return output also it is upgradeable by AP to encourage mages more. it even solves the lifesteal issue. however, since it is improved much from old model and is related to lifesteal, the recipe cost should add in the Vampiric Scepter which is 450 more. - example of AP usage; lets say you have 100 AP. (3% x 100) = 3 25 + 3 = 28 so you would both block and return 28% if you had 500 AP then it would be (500 x 3%) = 15 (25 + 15)% = 40% so as you can see this AP wielding mage is protected more for going offensive with his spells.
Krebb The Pestulent
This would make the item desirable, but that's kind of an understatement. I agree that melee heroes are getting too much defensively from their items then casters are, but to give a flat percentage of damage return is not the same as giving a flat percentage of damage increase. Let me explain. As the other team increases in defenses you must increase your damage and the way that you deal damage must remain effective. This item makes it so that at least 20% of that champions own damage is being negated on you and returned to him. I just don't think that a damage return that scales off the hard work of your enemies makes any sense. I mean, it sounds awesome and I would love to slap this on a caster or two, but it feels backwards. I do really like the idea of innately reducing life-steal-healing effects of your attacker.
From that formula there it looks like you want it to cut out 25% of physical damage you would take? Sure, return the damage, but a full 25% block would be ludicrously insane OP. The leviathin snowball item gives 15% damage block after 20 stacks. You would be lucky to get a 5-10% physical block out of this item. Maybe make that passive part of the item be one of those 10 second cooldown item effects.
Real quick unorganized impression: This one item as proposed seems a little OP still, given that with base armor, most every champ has about 10-20% physical reduction as well, making 500 AP give the caster about 60% physical reduction, and thus a tank. Recipe may need to be much more expensive. Yes, 500 AP is a lot for most casters to get in 35-45 minutes, so that 15% isnt very likely, but with that much AP, thier spells would DESTROY physical carries who will not be carrying enough MR to balance this. Also, it not being based on the armor stat means it cannot be countered. Remember, casters are supposed to be fragile, but hit hard. I think the lifesteal effect makes it even worse. If you absolutely feel you need it, maybe either have it combine out of Executioners Calling, or reduce the 40% to maybe 15%. A pittance, but lifesteal isnt all that game-changing, especially if said physical champ is doing 60% less damage on you already. Even then, one of the main reasons I dont get Thornmail in it's current/future incarnation is that it pulls tower agro. Just giving feedback.
...but why would you want to make an item, thats essentally a counter for melee dps, for casters? it doesnt fit them. so lets put an example... you get 25 base % return. you have 250 ap (im a little confused on how 3%*Ap works, i would think you meant that 3% of ap is added as a %) giving you i think 31% damage return. Now getting 3% per 100 ap is a little small (if you trying to cater to casters, try lowering it to 10% to start and add 7% give or take per 100 ap), but simply the idea that a dps character doing, oh lets say 500 dps, would then take 155 dps too, plus the caster would have their own boosted spell damage.
Wu Thuong
i really like your idea because i was also thinking about a way to change thornmail. I considered 3 possibilities: 1. give it an active passive: Adds 50% damage return for 6 seconds (no visual effect) 2. Active passive: taunts all nearby enemies around you for 1.5 seconds (same range as alistars stun), which would turn the thornnail into a more utility-like item. 3. 20- 25% damage return plus lowering all healing effects of enemies attacking you by 50% Yours is similar to my third possibility if i would add that ap upgradeable thingie
