|Testimonial by Maxine J.
|Maxine J. from Havana, AR wrote:
I was a little leary of buying a heat pump over the internet. I bought one from ingrams , one of the reasons was they are a member of the better business bureau. They also spent as much time as I wanted on the phone answering questions, they are very knowledgable. When I spoke to them on the phone, you could tell this is a family business. Everything went as promised. I was treated as a valued customer ,and when the deal was done I had some money coming back to me, it was sent immediately. You can buy with confidence, and I saved about $2000.00. It is nice to get a really good deal with great service. I would recommend them to ANYONE. Thanks Ingrams very much and God Bless.

Surf Flags
Welcome to Pensacola Beach. The sugar-white sand and emerald-colored water of our pristine beaches provide a great place to have fun, but be aware that dangerous currents are sometimes present. It is imperative that you heed the warnings of our flag system. We want you to have fun but please, "Swim Safely."
Surf conditions can be deceiving. There can be dangerous currents even on calm days. Call for the latest surf advisory at Pensacola Beach (932-SURF) and the Gulf Islands National Seashore in the protected areas.
- Double Red: Water closed to public
- Red: High hazard, high surf and/or strong currents
- Yellow: Medium hazard, moderate surf and/or currents
- Green: Low hazard, calm conditions, exercise caution
- Purple: Dangerous marine life
The Gulf of Mexico is beautiful, warm and inviting but can sometimes be hazardous. Where lifeguards are present, please be aware of flags that alert you to conditions of currents.
Rip currents and rapidly changing weather conditions can create dangerous situations if you are unprepared. It's always safest to swim where lifeguards are present. And never swim alone.
It is always safest to "Swim with the Lifeguards" in the Gulf of Mexico. Have fun but "Swim Safely." Download our Swim Safely postcard.

Troy, Ala. — The Western Kentucky University volleyball team opened its 2007 Sun Belt Conference portion of the schedule with a 3-0 sweep (30-17, 30-25, 30-23) of Troy Friday evening at Trojan Arena.
The win was the fourth straight for WKU as it improved to 12-3 on the year and 1-0 in Sun Belt play. Troy fell to 9-7 and 0-1 in the league. The Lady Toppers will finish out their weekend conference roadtrip with a 2 p.m. (CDT) match on Saturday at South Alabama.
Three Lady Toppers finished with double-digit kills as Megan Argabright posted a match-best 15 kills, while Jenna Gideon and Aquila Orr added 10 kills each. The trio accounted for 35 of WKU's 51 kills on the night. Gideon also finished the night with a season-best .643 hitting percentage.
WKU was able to jump out to an early 10-6 lead in game one following a Lindsey Gould service ace, then built the lead to 19-10 following a Troy service error. The Lady Toppers rode a match-best .484 team hitting percentage to a win in the opening game as they closed the game on a 7-2 run for the 30-17 victory.
Both teams hit over .400 in game two, and WKU found itself trailing 11-6 early on following a Megan Henderson kill. The Lady Toppers pulled back even on two occasions, but were unable to regain the lead until a Julia Noe kill made it 18-17 WKU. Aubre Smith pulled the Trojans back even at 19-19, but a Brittany Bowen kill sparked a 6-1 Lady Topper run as they were able to open up a 25-20 lead. The lead grew as high as six, but Troy was able to pull back within three when an ace by Henderson made it 27-24. However, Gideon put down a kill that sparked a 3-1 Lady Topper run to close out the game.
WKU limited Troy to just five kills and a -.045 hitting percentage as it was able to storm out to an early 13-6 lead. After a Kerry Heinz kill cut the Lady Topper lead to 14-11, WKU used an 11-4 run to stretch the advantage to double figures at 25-15. After trading points, the Lady Toppers held a 28-18 lead after a block by Argabright. However, the Trojans stayed alive with five straight points before an Argabright kill and a Trojan attack error brought an end to the match.
With the victory over Troy, WKU has now won 12 straight Sun Belt Conference openers, and has won its first league match in 15 of the 16 seasons in which there has been a regular-season conference schedule.

The collections were founded in the 1920s when a private collector, Gabrielle Enthoven, donated her extensive collection of theatrical designs, memorabilia, books and photographs to the Museum. She continued to add to her collection, and worked on it as a museum volunteer until her death in 1950. Since that period, the collection has continued to grow, and has provided a home for many other significant objects and archives. Between 1987 and 2007, some of this material was housed at the V&A's branch museum in Covent Garden, the Theatre Museum. New galleries devoted to the performing arts opened at the V&A in South Kensington in 2009.

Suggested Reading List
A History of the Theatre
Author: Glynne Wickham
Description: A fully illustrated survey of 3000 years of theatrical history, including opera, ballet and spectacle.
A Sense of Direction
Author: William Ball
Description: William Ball's productions at in the 1960s and 1970s were considered landmark interpretations of classic theatre texts. "Tartuffe", "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Taming of the Shrew" all demonstrated a fineness of detail, a clarity of presentation, and perhaps most of all, a thunderingly imaginative theatricality which few directors can match. This book brilliantly details his approaches, and is particularly good on directors relations with actors.
Being an Actor
Author: Simon Callow
Description: Few actors are more eloquent, honest or entertaining about their life and their profession than Simon Callow. Being an Actor traces his stage journey from the letter he wrote to Laurence Olivier that led him to his first job, to his triumph as Mozart in the original production of Amadeus. This new edition continues to tell the story of his past two decades onstage. Callow discusses his occasionally ambivalent yet always passionate feelings about both film and theatre, conflicting sentiments partially resolved by his acclaimed return to the stage with his solo performances in The Importance of Being Oscar and The Mystery of Charles Dickens, seen in the West End.
Greek Theatre in Performance
Author: David Wiles
Description: In this fascinating and accessible book, David Wiles introduces ancient Greek theatre to students and enthusiasts interested in knowing how the plays were performed. Theatre was a ceremony bound up with fundamental activities in ancient Athenian life and Wiles explores those elements which created the theatre of the time. Actors rather than writers are the book's main concern and Wiles examines how the actor used the resources of story-telling, dance, mask, song and visual action to create a large-scale event that would shape the life of the citizen community. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the ancient world, and is written to answer the questions of those who want to know how the plays were performed, what they meant in their original social context, what they might mean in a modern performance and what can be learned from and achieved by performances of Greek plays today.
In Search of Shakespeare
Author: Michael Wood
Description: There can be few more appropriate writers and TV presenters to go In Search of Shakespeare than Michael Wood. Having already gone In Search of England and pursued the history of the Conquistadors in his recent acclaimed series, Wood has now taken on The Bard in the book to accompany his latest TV series. This is well-trodden ground, but Wood tells the story with relish and an historian's eye for detail, dismissing Bardolatry in favour of a "tale of one man's life, lived through a time of revolution--a time when not only England, but the larger world beyond, would go through momentous changes."
London - The Biography
Author: Peter Ackroyd
Description: Probably there is no one better placed than Ackroyd--the author of mammoth lives of Dickens and Blake, and novels such as Hawksmoor and Dan Leno and the Lime House Golem which set singular characters against the backdrop of a city constantly shifting in time--to write such a rich, sinewy account of "Infinite London". Ackroyd's London is no mere chronology. Its chapters take on such varied themes as drinking, sex, childhood, poverty, crime and punishment, sewage, food, pestilence and fire, immigration, maps, theatre and war. We learn that gin was "the demon of London for half a century", and that "it has been estimated that in the 1740s and 1750s there were 17,000 'gin-houses'." Fleet Street was an area known for its "violent delights" where "a 14-year-old boy, only 18 inches high, was to be seen in 1702 at a grocer's shop called the Eagle and Child by Shoe Lane." By the mid 19th century "London had become known as the greatest city on earth." By 1939 "one in five of the British population had become a Londoner."
Modern Drama in Theory and Practice
Author: J.C. Styan
Description: Volume 1: This volume begins with the naturalistic revolt in France against traditional styles of theatre. As realism becomes a European movement the account moves from Paris to the Meiningen company and Ibsen's work as producer and play-wright in Oslo, Chekhov's in Moscow, Shaw's in London, Synge's in Dublin. Among the producers are Antoine, Brahm, Grein, Granville-Baker, Nemirovich-Danchenko and Stanislavsky. The early days of the Irish Dramatic Movement and the chief realistic directors and critics in the USA after Belasco are considered; the tradition is shown to persist in the work of Williams and Miller in the USA and Osborne and Bond in England. Volume 2: he theories of Wagner and Nietzsche provide the basic principles for this volume, disseminated by the work of Appia and Craig, and affecting the later plays of Ibsen, Maeterlinck, and Lugn�-Poe's Th�atre de Le'Oeuvre. Jarry is seen as the precursor of surrealism; later symbolist elements are found in the plays of Claudel, Giraudoux, Yeats, Eliot, Lorca and Pirandello. Artaud's theatre of cruelty is related to the work of Peter Brook. The theatre of the absurd is illustrated in Sartre, Beckett, Pinter and Ionesco. Recent avant-garde theatre in America and Britain also reveals elements of symbolism.
Shakespeare and Co.
Author: Stanley Wells
Description: "With the passing of the years Shakespeare has too often been isolated from his fellows. He is the greatest of them, but he would not have been what he is without them." -- so says Stanley Wells at the conclusion of what is a wonderfully readable look at the theatrical scene of Shakespeare's day. Concentrating on the Bard's contemporaries rather than the man himself (more than adequately covered elsewhere), Shakespeare & Co is accessible rather than academic (though by no means lightweight), and an excellent introduction to those figures who hover on the edges of Shakespeare's biography, all too undeservingly like like bit-players in somebody else's drama. Individual chapters cover the theatrical scene (how plays were put together and presented, how they fit into the political mood of the time, and so on), and a brief look at some of the well-known actors of the day, before we get to the playwrights: Marlowe, Thomas Dekker, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton, John Fletcher & Francis Beaumont and John Webster.
The Director and the Stage: From Naturalism to Grotowski
Author: Edward Braun
Description: Beginning with the triple impulses of Naturalism, symbolism and the grotesque, the bulk of the book concentrates on the most famous directors of this century - Stanislavski, Reinhardt, Graig, Meyerhold, Piscator, Brecht, Artuaud and Grotowski. Braun's guide is more practical than theoretical, delineating how each director changed the tradition that came before him.
The Life of the Drama
Author: Eric Bentley
Description: Discusses the various aspects of a drama, from the plot and character to dialogue, thought and enactment. In addition, Eric Bentley describes different types of plays such as melodrama, farce, tragedy, comedy and tragi-comedy
The Medieval Theatre
Author: Glynne Wickham
Description: Glynne Wickham's important history of the development of dramatic art in Christian Europe. Professor Wickham surveys the foundations on which this dramatic art was built: the architecture, costumes and ceremonial of the imperial court at Byzantium, the liturgies of countires in the Eastern and Western Empires and the triumph of the Roman rite and the Romanesque style in Western art. Within this context Professor Wickham describes three major influences upon the drama: religion, recreation and commerce.
The State of the Nation
Author: Michael Billington
Description: Michael Billington's new book looks at post-war Britain from a theatrical perspective. It examines the constant interplay between theatre and society from the resurgent optimism of the Attlee years to the satire boom of the Sixties and the growth of political theatre under Tony Blair in the post-Iraq period. Written by Britain's longest-serving theatre critic, the book also offers a passionate defence of the dramatist as the medium's key creative figure. Controversial, witty and informed, State of the Nation offers a fresh and challenging look at the vast upheavals that have taken place in Britain and its theatre in the course of sixty turbulent years.
The Year of the King
Author: Anthony Sher
Description: "'One of the finest books I have ever read on the process of acting' Time Out; 'This is a most wonderfully authentic account of the experience of creating a performance' Sunday Times; 'A brilliant compulsive account' Michael Billington, Guardian
Will In the World
Author: Stephen Greenblatt
Description: With something of the vigour of the Bard�s writing, Greenblatt takes us through the bawdy, teeming Bankside district (centuries before it became a tourist destination), and the Machiavellian, dangerous world of the court--in fact, all the splendour and misery of the Elizabethan age--and at the centre of it all, its greatest artist.

If you're a Microsoft enthusiast, you have most likely heard about the company's plans to release a new Windows version dubbed Blue that will probably hit the shelves sometime this summer.
With so many rumors swirling around these days on the new operating system, PC makers are becoming more optimistic on future sales, especially because Windows 8 has made almost no difference to the ever-collapsing PC industry.
Acer's president Jim Wong, once an anti-Microsoft commenter, told the Wall Street Journal that Windows Blue would most likely help the Softies come back to Earth and finally make the operating system a bit more user-friendly.
Word is that Microsoft is looking to bring back the traditional Start button in Blue, but it's not yet clear whether this particular option would launch the classic Start Menu or would serve as a Start Screen shortcut.
"When we were talking to Microsoft, our input to them is balance," Wong was quoted as saying. "The world in the next five years is not going 100 percent to touch. Although touch makes a lot of possibilities for PCs, you need to take care of the rest of the world that doesn't need touch."
Windows Blue is also expected to spawn cheaper devices, as the hefty price has been considered a major setback for the current Windows 8 product range.
"In the past we consider they (Microsoft) live in heaven. But now they go down to earth and they start to learn how people living on earth think," Wong continued.
Paradoxically, Acer's executives had a change of heart lately, as both the chairman and the company's president previously attacked Microsoft for Windows 8 and for its efforts in the hardware industry. Microsoft was trying to kill the ecosystem, they said a few months ago, claiming that the tech giant had tons of cash to promote its products and destroy competition.

Crash.Net Le Mans News
Dempsey, Del Piero partner for Le Mans bid
22 January 2013
Former Italian international footballer Alessandro Del Piero has joined forces with American actor Patrick Dempsey for an assault on the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours.
The former Juventus star, now plying his trade in Australia with Sydney FC, has entered into partnership with Dempsey and his Dempsey Racing team for the new outfit – which will run under the Dempsey/Del Piero Racing name.
The team has lodged an entry with the ACO to run at Le Mans in June and will also run a two-car effort in the American Le Mans Series.
As yet, there have been no comments on what car the team will use during the season ahead.
"We are excited to join forces with Alessandro and compete at the highest levels of racing," Dempsey said. "Alessandro's passion for winning and leadership skills will be invaluable, and he will play an important role in the development and direction of the team."
Del Piero himself said motorsport had always been a passion and admitted his delight at getting involved with the programme.
"I have had a passion for motorsport since I was a young boy growing up in Italy," the 38-year-old said "I am thrilled at the opportunity to team with Patrick. We expect to compete at a very high level and our central focus will be on winning championships."
Dempsey, Joe Foster and Michael Avenatti have been listed as the three drivers for the Le Mans bid.

I have to admit that this tickled my sense of humour. What you can't see is the fact that this was the only bus in the coach park. There it stood – all alone, unloved, cloudy grey sky above, damp tarmac below.
Makes you wonder what it had done wrong!

Veteran Kiwi single-sculler Mahe Drysdale understands now that his real Olympic regatta is only just beginning.
The 33-year-old New Zealander comfortably won his quarterfinal yesterday (NZ time) at Eton Dorney to progress with ease to what he believes will be a hugely competitive couple of semifinals tonight.
He comfortably saw off the challenge of Belgian Tim Maeyens who had set a new Olympic best in the heats but could not match the pace set by Drysdale who looked to have plenty in reserve.
"It was a pretty solid race," added Drysdale. "It's nice to get that one out of the way but there are going to be some pretty tough semis. Everyone seems to have got through so that will make it tough tomorrow."
It's said that the Olympic single sculls doesn't really start till the semifinal stage – where Drysdale finds himself up against defending Olympic champion Olaf Tufte, German Marcel Hacker and slick Swede Lassi Karonen in what should be a cracking race.
"Semis day is the important one," said Drysdale. "The guys that aren't maybe favoured to make it tomorrow will be racing the race of their lives.
"Semis at the Olympics is a horrible place to be. You want to get that one out of the way and once that's done you can relax and enjoy the final.
"You've got to be ready to race a final I guess and hopefully that's not required, but you've got to be ready for it."
Drysdale, the five-time world champion, is desperate to pick up the Olympic gold so cruelly denied him in Beijing, but seems in a good frame of mind. He says his energy levels are good and, critically, he's healthy.
"I'm certainly a lot better than I was four years ago at this point," he said. Then he showed, when asked about his diet over the next few days, that the looming big moments had not impacted his sense of humour.
"I'll just be eating what everybody else is eating and hopefully if I go down everyone else will too," he grinned.
It could be an emotional fifth day of the regatta for Drysdale who will be followed out by partner Juliette Haigh in the women's pair final. She and Rebecca Scown look to have their work cut out in a race expected to be dominated by Brits Helen Glover and Heather Stanning.
"It would be great to see them have a good start," he said. "Obviously they didn't have the best of races in the heats but they showed in Bled last year they can come right when it counts."
Kiwi Emma Twigg also progressed safely to the semifinals of the women's single sculls, though she had to make do with second place behind Aussie ironwoman Kim Crow in her quarterfinal.
Twigg didn't appear to be pushing too hard to haul in the Aussie, who is rowing two events at these Games, and when they established a big gap early she looked content with the runnerup spot.

Jean Beliveau scored 31:28 into overtime giving Montreal a 2-1 win and eliminating the Bruins from this second-round series. The Habs would go on to sweep the Blues for their fourth Cup in five seasons. This Cup was one of the five the Habs would win in the 10 seasons that Beliveau was the captain of the team before he retired in 1971.1969: Canadiens center
1981: The Rangers complete a six-game elimination of the Blues in the second-round with a 7-4 win. This was the second time in three seasons the Rangers advanced to the third round of the playoffs, but were defeated by a powerful Islander team. This season marked Rangers center Walt Tkaczuk's last in a 14-season career in which he exclusively played for the Rangers.
1983: Oilers center Wayne Gretzky scored the game-winning goal in a 8-4 Oilers win as Edmonton gained an early 1-0 lead in the Campbell Conference Final with the Blackhawks. Edmonton would lose just one game in the first three rounds of the playoffs that season, but were ousted by the Islanders in four-straight games in the Stanley Cup Final.
1992: Winnipeg Jets defenseman Phil Housley scored the game-winning goal by beating Vancouver goalie Kirk McLean in Game 4 of Winnipeg and Vancouver's first-round series. The win seemingly gave the Jets a stranglehold on the series with 3-1 lead, but Vancouver managed to rebound and won the series in seven games.
1993: Islanders center Ray Ferraro scored his second game-winning goal in overtime in three nights at 5:40 into the second overtime in Game 4 giving the Islanders a 4-3 win and a 3-1 lead in their first-round series with the Capitals. This game also marked the third-straight overtime game in the series, which were all won by the Islanders. The Islanders, who had missed the playoffs the previous two seasons, advanced to the conference final for the first time since 1985 where they were defeated by the Canadiens in five games.
1994: Blackhawks center Jeremy Roenick scored at 1:23 of overtime in Game 4 of Chicago's first-round playoff series with Toronto evening the series at two games apiece. Roenick's goal, however, was the last one the Blackhawks would score that season as the Maple Leafs and Toronto goalie Felix Potvin recorded back-to-back 1-0 shutouts in the next two games. The Maple Leafs would proceed to the semifinals only to be defeated there for the second-straight season.
1996: Penguins center Petr Nedved scored with just 45 seconds left in the fourth overtime period in Game 4 of Pittsburgh's first-round series with the Capitals tying the series at two. After losing the first two games of the series, the Penguins would win the next four eliminating the Capitals. Pittsburgh took their hot streak into the next round as well and defeated the Rangers in five games, but was halted by an underdog Panthers team that beat them in a seven-game series.

Louis D. Brandeis: A Life By Melvin I. Urofsky (Pantheon, 955 pp., $40) I. In 1916, Herbert Croly, the founder and editor of The New Republic, wrote to Willard Straight, the owner of the magazine, about the Supreme Court nomination of Louis Brandeis. Croly enclosed a draft editorial called "The Motive of Class Consciousness," and also a chart prepared by a lawyer in Brandeis's office showing the overlapping financial interests, social and business connections, and directorships of fifty-two prominent Bostonians who had signed a petition opposing Brandeis's nomination.

The Battle Over the Court
April 14, 2010
I. Moments after Justice John Paul Stevens announced his intention to retire from the Supreme Court, Republican senators warned President Barack Obama not to appoint a judicial activist to replace him. Senator Orrin Hatch promised Obama "a whale of a fight if he appoints an activist to the court" and Senator Mitch McConnell warned that "Americans can expect Senate Republicans to make a sustained and vigorous case for judicial restraint and the fundamental importance of an evenhanded reading of the law." But Hatch and McConnell's definition of "judicial activism" is topsy-turvy.
POTUS v. SCOTUS
March 16, 2010
Barack Obama is gunning for a confrontation with the Supreme Court, and Chief Justice John Roberts has signaled that he welcomes the fight. Last week, the chief justice described the president's State of the Union condemnation of the Citizens United decision as "very troubling" and complained that the speech had "degenerated to a political pep rally." Roberts was making an argument about etiquette--dissent was fine, he said, but Obama had somehow transgressed the boundaries of civilized discourse by delivering his attack to a captive audience.
Promises, Promises, Promises

In a recent TNR article about the Citizens United decision, "Roberts versus Roberts," I argued that the chief justice has so far failed to achieve his goal of promoting narrow, unanimous decisions rather than ideologically polarizing ones. After the piece came out, Ed Whelan claimed that Roberts had never promised to try to lead the Court in such a fashion.

Hello and welcome to ePhotozine!
You've managed to get a great pose from your `model', here, and you've composed well, with him leaning into the generous space to the right. I might have given a little more space at the bottom for him to move forward into, but that's not a big thing.
I think there are two areas in which the photo could be improved. The first is that it's somewhat dark and underexposed the histogram peaks out at about 85% brightness, so there aren't any highlights in the image. The first thing I did was to use a levels adjustment to make use of the full dynamic range, and then a curves adjustment to lighten the shadows on the swan's front. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to recover the swan's eye, which is still lost in the shadows being able to see an animal's eyes can bring a lot of life into a photo. Also, I'm a little confused that, despite the under-exposure, there's no detail present in the swan's extended wing. Even a less-aggressive adjustment doesn't show anything there, so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Usually, loss of detail in the bright areas of an image is either due to over-exposure or being out of focus but neither of those applies here.
Which leads to my other suggestion for improvement: the focus. Everything in the photograph is in sharp focus, which gives equal visual prominence to the swan as it does to the rather distracting background. Obviously, you had no choice of what was in the background because the swan's just doing his own thing. You don't say what camera settings you used, but it looks like you used a very narrow aperture (high f-number). A wider aperture, giving less depth of field and putting the background slightly out of focus would help to emphasize the swan and de-emphasize that cluttered background.
My second mod tries to give a feel for what the photo would look like with less depth of field. It's kinda fiddly in software but much easier in the camera. First, I took a copy of the image and masked it to leave just the swan, which needs to stay sharp. Then, I returned to the background and selected the top part of the image and gave the selection a big ol' feather to spread it downwards on a gradient. I then applied a Gaussian blur to the selected region, and the feathering means that the blur kicks in gradually. The result is a bit rough and ready but it at least gives an impression of the effect.

Pasak Chonlasit Dam
Pasak Chonlasit Dam is one of the oldest earth filled dams in Thailand. The dam is in two provinces, Lopburi and Saraburi. The site is an important tourist attraction at Lopburi. Visitors can release fish, view the beautiful scenery, visit the museum and walk around the edge of the dam. All of these activities are very popular especially the point where the train stops above the dam.
If tourists travel there during the end of rainy season to the beginning of winter (October to January), they will be able to see sunflowers in bloom at Amphur Pattananikom, which is not far from Pasak Chonlasit dam. You can buy many souvenirs made from sunflowers.
In addition, there are also facilities to welcome visitors such as a restaurant, souvenir shop, sightseeing bus and accommodation.

text: Parkside High School Salisbury Teenager Convicted of School Rape By Don Rush • Oct 22, 2014 mug shot 18-year old Jocori Scarborough was convicted yesterday on all five counts involving the alleged rape of a 15 year old student on the campus of Parkside High School earlier this year. In addition to second-degree rape a Wicomico County jury convicted him of false imprisonment, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and threatening a student. On Monday the victim, a student from Wicomico High School who took a class at Parkside High, testified that he forced her to have sex with him. Parkside High School Sexual Assault Trial Begins Today By Don Rush • Oct 20, 2014 mug shot Today is the start of the trial of 18 year old Jocori Scarborough who has been charged with second-degree rape among other counts for allegedly assaulting a Parkside High School student last May. The state has said it will introduce DNA evidence into the case along with a recovered handgun. Scarborough is also charged with possession of a regulated firearm under the age of 21. The case remains in Wicomico County Circuit Court despite defense efforts in late August to get the trial moved to a different jurisdiction because of the extensive media coverage. Higher Bond for Suspect in Parkside High Rape Case By Don Rush • May 22, 2014 musghot A bond has been set again for 17-year old Jocori Scarborough who is charged with the alleged rape of a fellow 15 year old student at the Parkside High School. Now it is higher at $250-thousand. The Salisbury Daily Times reports that if released he will be required to stay at his home in Delmar and can only leave to meet with his defense counsel. In addition, Scarborough will not be allowed on the Parkside High campus or have any contact with the alleged victim. The alleged rape is to have occurred in the hallway of the school on May 5th.
