Wait, didn’t this JUST happen in California ???? Resource Officer Poses As A Girl To Get Naked Pictures From Boys A resource officer at an Atlanta area high school is behind bars after being caught posing as a teen girl on Facebook to solicit nude pictures from teen boys. 11 Alive reports: According to Cpl. Kay Lester of the Fulton County Police Department, Keith Rucker, a Tri Cities High School resource officer, was arrested on eavesdropping charges on June 20. Fulton County police say cameras, computers and thumb drives were recovered from Rucker’s home on Marcliff Court. According to Lester, Rucker set up a Facebook page where he posed as a female to solicit photos of nude boys. There could be dozens of victims dating back to 2008, according to Lester. Fulton County police say cameras, computers and thumb drives were recovered from Rucker’s home on Marcliff Court. According to investigators, the evidence shows that unknown individuals may have been recorded in “private places in the home without their consent.” Officers are working with the Secret Service to open the files; some of them are said to be heavily encoded. Fulton County Schools spokesperson Samantha Evans says Rucker was fired from the district Tuesday. Evans says they have no reason to believe any of the victims were students at Tri-Cities High School. Rucker is also the executive director of the Quick Silver Track Club in Fulton County, according to police. Parents told 11Alive that they had received emails from another coach saying that Rucker had been arrested and suspended from the club. Track club practices on Wednesday and Thursday were cancelled. SMH…another peen pandering sicko.

There won’t be any nightclubs, champagne poppin’, or celebrity guests, but the people are nice… A Gallery Of The 10 Friendliest Cities In America Via HuffingtonPost We sure do like our clichés in the States. In our annual Readers’ Choice Survey, we ask readers to rate cities on a number of factors, including “friendliness.” Southern hospitality shines on that front — in the Top 10, all but three of the cities are in the South — while a total of five towns in the stereotypically brash Northeast earned spots on the mean-city list.

All over the country people took to the streets Sunday (July 14) for mostly peaceful protests honoring the life of Trayvon Martin, after his accused killer was acquitted of all charges. Adding to those in South Florida where the second-degree murder trial of shooter George Zimmerman was held, hundreds in New York City, L.A., Washington D.C., and other cities, rallied for justice after the not guilty verdict in the teen’s slaying… Continue
Tonight’s Mad Men was another episode mostly about the differences between Pete and Don. This season has really been hitting those differences hard on the noggin, so something is bound to happen to resolve that tension. ” A Tale of Two Cities ” is played out over a backdrop of the Chicago riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention. Mad Men has been employing this tactic – using real-life political unrest to highlight the uncertainty and turbulence in the characters’ lives – very heavily all season. So what exactly is the personal uncertainty and turbulence? Well, it’s plentiful. While Don packs up to head to California with Roger and Harry, the unwavering instability of the new company continues. Joan scores an accidental meeting with a man at Avon, Ginsberg lashes out against Jim Cutler, and Bob continues his creepy quest for relevance. While she thinks she was on a date, Joan ends up being in a position to pitch the company to a potential client. Hoping to land Avon herself, she is reluctant to go to Ted with the news. When Peggy insists she do just that, Ted hands the account over to Pete. The one man most critical of Joan’s position with the company, and how she got there. Joan ends up going behind Pete’s back to hold the meeting without him. Just one more notch on the Screw Pete Belt. Of course this enrages Pete, who takes it to Ted. While Ted seems concerned about the situation, Pete’s insistence that if people like Joan are going to start handling meetings like Avon, well then, Pete’s job will become obsolete, ends up being accidentally hilarious. Peggy helps Joan out by faking a phone call from Avon, and Ted dismisses the issue. Poor Pete. He tries so hard, but he is so absolutely doomed. Meanwhile, Don’s lack of effort or concern is on full display in the Golden State. The trio’s meeting with Sunkist does not go well, but they don’t seem to mind. They hit a party “in the Hills” and forget the whole thing. While there, Don gets sucked into smoking hash by a pretty young lady (anything for a pretty young lady), causing hallucinations of Megan, who gives him permission to cheat, and tells him she quit her job, and that she’s pregnant. Looks like Donny Boy resents Megan’s miscarriage. Don wakes up form the hallucination being resuscitated by Roger, after having fallen into the pool. The whole trip ends up being just another careless playdate for Don and Roger. They arrive back to the office to a midst a giant sea change. Ginsburg more or less lost the Manischwitz account, Chevy is moving forward with SCDPCGC, and Cutler has put Bob on the account, and Pete is livid about Joan’s insubordination. But Don simply couldn’t care less. He simply fixes himself a drink. Don is so unencumbered by concern for his job or the company that when Ted and Cutler suggest a name for the Company that excludes him (along with themselves and Pete), he instantly says fine. Welcome to Sterling Cooper & Partners. This scene so perfectly spells out how the ship goes down. Don will be to drunk to even notice. He’ll drift slowly into his watery grave. Pete will be panicking. He’ll be kicking and screaming and treading water for days, until a shark bites his legs off and he bleeds out. Of course, that may all change with the final image of A Tale of Two Cities , as Pete sits down and takes a couple puffs of pot. Will this really be a “drugs turn the uptight guy into a hippie” story? Let’s hope not. OTHER NOTES: What is the deal with Bob? He continues to be as mysterious as all get out. He seems like a guy who just wandered in one day and nobody noticed he hadn’t always been there. The season’s progression seems to suggest that Bob may soon trump Pete at SC&P, and that he’s got a lot of skeletons in his closet. Ginsberg is such a great character. He’s both complex and instantly gratifying all at once, and with not all that much screen time. That’s rare for a supporting character. His meltdown this week was really great. It was cool to see two women taking a meeting, something that never would have happened when the show started.
Police Officer Fired For Writing Fake DUI Tickets To Meet Quota A Utah state trooper who was recently honored for the number of slizzard citizens she got off the road has now been sent packing after an investigation revealed that most of her “convictions” turned out to be fake. via AOL News State troopers put their lives on the line every day. And the act of pulling someone over on a highway can be a deadly experience for any cop not following the best protocols. But police are also under great pressure to generate ticket revenue for their cities, counties and states, and their zeal to hit revenue targets can lead them to do the wrong thing. So says a class action suit filed against the State of Utah and a specific state trooper who is accused of writing “driving under the influence” tickets when they weren’t impaired. State trooper Lisa Steed was honored inside the state police force for busting an extraordinary number of drunk drivers. But some of her convictions were subsequently over-turned, and the trooper was reprimanded and then fired for making false arrests. Since Steed’s performance and punishment were reported, dozens of people who were convicted have been signing up with lawyers for a class action suit. People convicted of DUI lost money, cars and trailers and even jobs, according to ABC 4 News/Salt Lake City. Aren’t there enough ACTUAL drunk drivers on the road for one-time to focus on? SMH.

My name is Sydney and I met Justin on October 21 st , 2012 . Since becoming a fan in August of 2009, I’ve been to two of his My World Tour concerts, his world premiere of Never Say Never in Los Angeles, California, and his Believe Tour concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Near the beginning of the Believe Tour, BIEBERFEVER.COM announced their “Bieber Fever Best Collection” contest where you could win meet & greets off of their site. All you had to do was send in a picture of all of your Justin Bieber stuff you’ve collected over the years, so I entered for Minneapolis and Milwaukee. They said winners would be notified 24 hours prior to your concert so when I didn’t get an email on Friday, the day before the Minnesota concert, it was seriously one of the worst nights ever. I had been refreshing my email all day long, but nothing ever showed up. I told myself there was still a chance I had won for Milwaukee, but I really didn’t think I would win them. The next morning, we headed to the cities. This next part is seriously what happened. After checking into our hotel, I was super sad that I didn’t win meet & greets for Minneapolis, so I picked up my phone and started tweeting, “I JUST NEED TO MEET JUSTIN” and I put the crying emoji face after it. RIGHT when I was about to press the tweet button, my phone buzzed. Texts and Twitter alerts normally show up at the top of my phone, and since nothing was there, I knew it had to be an email. I went to my inbox and there it was… a message from Bieberfever saying “Congratulations, Sydney!” I put my phone down and started crying. I just couldn’t believe it. To hear you’re going to be meeting your idol after being told so many times that it would never happen… yeah, that’s a good feeling. After crying for about half an hour, I pulled myself together and got ready for the concert. Seeing him perform that night knowing I would be meeting him the very next day was one of the most amazing feelings ever. The concert was incredible and Justin did such a good job! He even pointed the camera at his crotch and lifted up his shirt! It was great. The next day we drove straight to Milwaukee and picked up our meet & greet wristbands from the box office around four. Then we got in line and waited for about an hour and a half. One of the best parts about waiting in line was seeing everyone come out of their meet and greet. Some girls were crying, some were hugging each other, but what was so amazing was every single one of them had the biggest smile on their face. It was really awesome to see just how happy he can make people. Once it was our turn and we got to the door where you go into the actual meet & greet, I felt like I was having one of those dreams where I would wake up right when they’re about to pull the curtain, but it wasn’t a dream this time. It was reality. The moment I had been waiting years for was about to happen, and I was so ready. A guy inside opened up the curtain and said “Next!” I walked in and there he was. Justin Bieber was standing right in front of me. I looked at him and he was already looking at me, which is when it truly hit me… it was really happening. HIS eyes were looking into MY eyes. I ABOUT DIED. I know this is probably hard to believe, but he looks so much better in person. All I remember seeing is his face, and it was absolutely flawless . I said “Hi!” and he smiled and said “Hello!” I went in for a hug, and he hugged me! It was definitely the best hug I’ve ever gotten. Right after we hugged, he put his arm around me and I’m not lying when I say this… it felt like he was holding me! His grip was just… oh gosh. All I remember thinking is, “Oh my god. Justin Bieber’s hand is around me. He’s touching me. Is this really happening right now? He’s so perfect.” I honestly don’t even remember looking at the camera. I do remember smiling, though… REALLY big. I turned and said, “Thanks!” and he smiled at me again. This was all in a matter of about 10 seconds, but it was honestly the best 10 seconds of my life. I had been told so many times by so many people that I would never meet him, and I would always just smile and tell them, “Never say never.” It took some time and a lot of patience, but it was more than worth it in the end! Please don’t ever give up on trying to meet Justin. He’s seriously amazing and every fan should be able to experience his sweet, perfect self in person. To anyone who hasn’t met him yet… your time will come! KEEP BELIEVING. -@sydneytapp P.S. None of this would have happened if it weren’t for BIEBERFEVER.COM , so a huge THANK YOU goes out to them! They are seriously the most amazing people ever. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have a picture with my idol. I wouldn’t know what it feels like to hug him. I wouldn’t know how beautiful he looks up close in person. I wouldn’t know just how sweet he actually is. Becoming a member of their site was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They change lives one dream come true at a time. They really do. Who knows? Maybe the next dream they make come true will be yours. Oh and thank you so much for running this site Vanessa! It is by far the best tumblr out there! Visit link: My name is Sydney and I met Justin on October 21st, 2012. Since…
With Skyfall ‘s Daniel Craig seemingly winding down his reign as James Bond, it looks like screenwriter John Logan will be writing off into the sunset alongside him. Deadline reports that the Oscar-nominated Logan ( Gladiator , The Aviator , Hugo ) is writing two connected scripts that will likely see Craig through the last two 007 outings he’s currently signed on for. [ PHOTOS: Prince Charles meets 007 on the Skyfall red carpet ] Like the storylines connecting Casino Royale with the subsequent Quantum of Solace , Bonds 24 and 25 would take Craig through another multiple film dramatic arc, which Bond fans seemed to have loved. And with his Bond increasingly dealing with themes of age and obsolescence, as he does in November’s Skyfall , these two Bond films would presumably see Craig passing the torch to a new agent , or at least closing his chapter of the franchise. Logan, meanwhile, earned his first Bond credit on Skyfall alongside Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. [ Deadline ]
In Julia Loktev ‘s The Loneliest Planet , Gael García Bernal and relative newcomer Hani Furstenberg ( Yossi & Jagger ) play a young engaged couple backpacking through the Caucasus Mountains in the former Soviet republic of Georgia the summer before their wedding. Their stunning journey is guided by a local villager, but the vast terrain crowds an emotional upheaval that threatens to tear down their promising life together. Loktev spoke with ML about her own visit to the country that inspired the film which has won praise at festivals this year and is headed into theatrical and VOD release this weekend. The making of The Loneliest Planet was a journey unto itself though everyone on board were determined to make it all happen. “The shoot was basically like an expedition,” Loktev told ML. “We were based in a village, but a lot of the time we camped. We’d have to get up in the darkness and carry everything on our backs so we could get to our location to get the early morning light. It was sometimes scary…” Loktev first conceived of what would become The Loneliest Planet while traveling in Georgia with a boyfriend. She was off to a film festival there and he planned to bike through the country as well as neighboring Armenia. After one week, their relationship was over and they went separate ways. While on a long bus ride to the capital, Tbilisi, she conceived the story that would eventually take the form of Alex (García Bernal) and Nica (Furstenberg). Travel binds the pair who willingly take on cultural disjointedness, mastering key phrases like “hello,” “thank you,” “please,” “how much?” “cheers” etc. They are comfortable with each other and their shared love of travel. But one fleeting moment could wreak havoc on their future. Their guide (played by local mountaineering hero Bidzina Gujabidze) is with them every step of the way. The couple are haunted with an unsaid tension, but cannot verbalize anything. “I tried to have a natural situation unfold,” said Loktev. “For me, this was a situation in which this couple couldn’t talk about this thing that existed between them. The things that could be said are almost too obvious to be said. So what was interesting to me was how this couple could communicate when they really can’t communicate… This couple is going through the biggest crisis in their relationship while they’re traveling with this guide who is now with them in this vastness. The parallel would be having a fight with your lover or friend and you now have to go out to dinner with someone together. You can’t really work things out in that moment.” An international actor who has worked with veteran filmmakers from North and South America and Europe, García Bernal took on the role of Alex early on. He told Loktev he had a fascination for the Caucasus region since grade school after reading Lermontov’s Hero of Our Time . “Gael has an easy masculinity. He has a playful quality and he’s able to bring all those qualities to his character,” said Loktev. “And I was interested in him doing something in which he couldn’t rely on words so much as doing something very interior and very subtle.” Financing dramas nearly pulled the production away from Georgia to an isolated region in China when a producer from the country offered to give resources after an initial investor pulled out. Loktev traveled to China, saying she was trying to “find Georgia in China,” but then sudden political strife in the area quickly closed down any chance of shooting there. “They had riots that were some of the biggest in years and then the Chinese government cut off internet and cell phone access,” recalled Loctev. “We couldn’t get in touch with people and from there it ended up screwing our production. The last thing they needed was an American crew making a film. That fell apart and I came back from China just devastated. I wasn’t sure if we were going to have to wait another year. But lucky both Gael and Hani stuck with it and the movie ended up where it’s supposed to be – in Georgia.” After finding more financing through Germany and America, Loktev headed to Georgia. The region had had its own conflict in recent years. The short but devastating war between Russia and Georgia came just as Loktev initially scouted the country for her shoot some years before actual production commenced. “Gael joked with me that if I went to scout a location in Switzerland, that they’d have a revolution there. [laughs] I just bring trouble [more laughs] But luckily, by the time we got there, things had stabilized,” said Loktev. “There was still an uneasy peace though. We were in this strange border town about 10 kilometers from Russia. And the border couldn’t be crossed.” [ Sundance Selects roles out The Loneliest Planet in limited theatrical release this weekend followed by other cities. It’s also available via On Demand]
