Teenage girl allegedly raped behind Avalon Elementary School
An 18-year-old man is facing charges for allegedly raping a teenage girl at gunpoint and recording the attack with his cell phone camera.
Allegheny County Police say the suspect, Dhaque Jones, agreed to buy a number of items including a Louis Vuitton wallet, Louis Vuitton camera case, and an iPod from the 14-year-old girl on Friday night. They met to make the exchange, but investigators say Jones told her he forgot to bring money at home, and left to get it.
The two talked through Facebook messages throughout the night, until someone claiming to be Jones' cousin told the girl he would meet her at Avalon Elementary School to pay her.
Instead, authorities say Jones himself went to the school wearing a hoodie and a bandana covering his face to hide his identity. He allegedly pointed a gun at the girl, forced her to undress, and raped her for 40 minutes behind a maintenance shed.
Police say the girl called 911 immediately after the attack, and was able to identify Jones. Investigators went to Jones house, and say they found the wallet, an air-soft handgun, and girls' underwear in his room.
Detectives say Jones admitted to the attack. He's now facing nine charges, including rape.

…with this stunning time-lapse video by photographer Randy Halverson, set to a dramatic score by Bear McCreary. Amazing!
This is four minutes of some of the most breathtaking sky you've ever seen. Shot in South Dakota, Wisconsin, Utah and Colorado during the months of June, September and October 2011, the video is made up of multiple long-exposure photographs painstakingly combined into seamless footage, capturing the stars, sky and landscape together in a way that conventional video cameras cannot.
What you are seeing here is an ordered array of literally thousands of 15-30 second exposures shot with professional Canon dSLRs, and given life via the music of composer Bear McCreary.
Randy describes the video on his post on Vimeo:
In the opening "Dakotalapse" title shot, you see bands of red and green moving across the sky. After asking several astronomers, they are possible noctilucent clouds, airglow or faint aurora. I never got a definite answer to what it is. You can also see the red and green bands in other shots.
(Note: these appear to this non-expert to be high-level noctilucent clouds, moving in ripple motion that I have seen before on other low-light time-lapse footage. Noctilucent, or "night-shining", clouds are created by fine ice particles high in the extremely cold, dry layer of atmosphere called the mesosphere — nearly at the edge of space, 50 to 80 km up. Then again, they could be aurora or airglow… it's too quick to tell for certain.)
At :53 and 2:17 seconds into the video you see a meteor with a persistent train. Which is ionizing gases, which lasted over a half hour in the camera's frame. Phil Plait wrote an article about the phenomena here.
There is a second meteor with a much shorter persistent train at 2:51 in the video. This one wasn't backlit by the moon like the first, and moves out of the frame quickly. Watch for two deer at 1:27.
Most of the video was shot near the White River in central South Dakota during September and October 2011, there are other shots from Arches National Park in Utah, and Canyon of the Ancients area of Colorado during June 2011. The aurora were shot in central South Dakota in September 2011 and near Madison, Wisconsin on October 25, 2011.
I asked Randy why the auroras appear yellow in color in many of the scenes.
"I'm not sure why they were yellow either," he replied. "They were really far off on the horizon and I was just seeing the top of them. The exposures on those were 30 seconds at ISO 3200, maybe the long exposure did make them that way. I really don't know."
Randy also offered this bit of insight:
"One night while we were shooting timelapse, my son and I saw a fireball meteor. I thought it looked like it was maybe 50 miles away. It ended up being right over Fargo, ND, over 300 miles away. So the aurora then were probably at least that far north, if not further."
Wherever the northern lights were that night, the footage Randy got is nothing short of amazing. Thanks so much to him and to his team for putting this all together and sharing with us!
Visit Randy's website at www.dakotalapse.com for more amazing time-lapse videos. (There's also an extended 23-minute version of the above video available here.)

Wildflower Ranch
We are a family owned ranch with locations in Oklahoma and Kansas. Our new brand name is actually a tribute to our two sweet little girls, Lily (8) and Anna Rose (4). They are awesome girls. We were looking for something alluding to their names, and they are both very spirited, hence "Wildflower". At the same time, it is a horse ranch, so our logo can't be too feminine. Obviously, this logo will be very personal and meaningful to us, so we would very much appreciate your work on our project.
Our horses are American Quarter Horses and Paints. They are used primarily for western type riding but also some English riding. Our target audience is this horse community. We do not do horse racing.
Will be interested in all submissions and ideas. Only thing to keep in mind is the tension between the name "wildflower" and the need to make sure that people know we are actually a horse ranch and not a flower farm. For this reason, I was thinking that it might be good to incorporate a simple line drawing of a horse head, or something along those lines, to get this point across. Here is a sample of such a line drawing I've seen. But it could be even simpler than this:
Again, I'm not married to the horse head concept, just seemed a good way to me to get the point across. I know you all are much more creative than me, so have at it!
I do think a simpler logo would be good, as to display it on trailers, ranch signs, entry ways, etc. requires it to be easily perceived and not overly complicated. No cartoons or clip art type stuff, though.
Not sure on best file type. I know .jpeg is ok for smaller file sizes, and vector files would be good. I understand that Adobe Illustrator native EPS files would be optimal.
Can't wait to see what you come up with!
P.S. Seeing the first set of entries made me think about maybe using a couple of sunflowers in the design if you are inclined to try and bring any floral aspect, because sunflowers are both a wild flower and an actual farm crop that we would grow. So that might may more sense to folks seeing the logo rather than lilies or roses. Just a thought. Interested to see other ideas too!
P.P.S. Well, we are not as hot on the sunflower concept once we started seeing it, at least not when used prominently. Certainly not ruling it out, especially things like the half starburst element shown in one of the designs and the sunburst with the horse head element inside, but not inclined to go full big sunflowers. Sorry if we caused wasted time for anyone. We're learning as we go. Thx

The Supreme Court is issuing a wide array of opinions this week, topics ranging from affirmative action to gay marriage. If you are just as confused as everyone else, take a look at this rundown of the rulings:
Prop 8: (6/26) Hollingsworth v. Perry
In 2004, Proposition 8 was passed which amended state constitutions to eliminate gay marriage. The law was passed in California, which previously legalized same-sex marriage. This case tackles whether the amendment violates the equal treatment text in the Constitution.
Ruling: The Court chose to dismiss the case, which refers the ruling on Proposition 8 down to lower courts. The state court of California previously chose to reject the proposition, therefore, gay marriages can legally resume. Read the complete text of the opinion here.
DOMA: (6/26) United States v. Windsor
A widow was forced to pay estate tax on her deceased wife's property, who she had married in Canada in 2007 after being partners for 40 years. She would not have had to pay the tax if her spouse was male. This is a result of the "Defense of Marriage Act," which was signed into law during the Clinton administration, and recognizes only heterosexual marriage in the case of federal law.
Ruling: DOMA was invalidated by the Court, based on the equal protection clause of the Constitution. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the opinion, the full text of which can be found here, that ""DOMA's principal effect is to identify a subset of state-sanctioned marriages and make them unequal."
Voting Rights Act: (6/25) Shelby v. Holder
Section 4 of the Voting Rights act determines the formula as to which areas Section 5 of the Act applies, which applies preclearance requirements to voting laws. This includes voting ID laws. The case, brought forward by the government of an Alabama suburb, questioned the timeliness of the reasoning behind Section 4.
Ruling: The Court narrowed the scope of the Voting Rights Act, eliminating Section 4. The formula will be reassessed by Congress on a undetermined timeline.
Adoptive rights/Indian Child Welfare Act: (6/25) Adoptive couple vs. baby girl
Dusten Brown, a member of the Cherokee Nation, demanded to take custody of his biological daughter in 2011 from Matt and Melanie Capobiano, who had been caring for the child. He claimed, and courts upheld, that the child should be in his custody due to the Indian Child Welfare Act. The child was 3/256th Cherokee.
Ruling: The Court barred Brown from custody. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the opinion that the law "does not apply when, as here, the relevant parent never had custody of the child." Although the Capobianos have not been granted adoptive rights.
Affirmative Action: (6/24) Fisher vs. University of Texas
Abigail Fisher filed to sue because she claimed race was the determinate factor in her admission to UT Austin.
Ruling: The opinion declared that the Court of Appeals had not examined the University of Texas' appeals process closely enough and the court should have heard her case. The ruling was near unanimous, falling at seven to one.
Workplace harassment: (6/24) Vance vs. Ball State University
An African-African employee at Ball State filed for discrimination. In two previous court cases, the Court ruled under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that an employer is liable for discrimination made by a "supervisor." This case tackles what defines a "supervisor."
Ruling: According to the SCOTUS blog, the Court decided that in order for somebody to be a "supervisor", the person must be able to "effect a 'significant change in employment status.'" Nobody involved in Vance's case had that power.
Workplace harassment: (6/24) University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar
A medical doctor of Middle Eastern descent claimed that the UT Southwestern Medical Center retaliated against his harassment complaint. The topic debated was whether retaliation was motivation for the workplace committing an adverse act against the doctor, and whether it fell under a statute of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Ruling: The Court found in favor of UT Southwestern, ruling in order to prove discrimination due to retaliation, it must be proved using but-for causation. The decision was close at five to four.
Pharmaceutical law: (6/24) Mutual Pharmaceutical Co. v. Bartlett
A woman sued for damages after sustaining injuries from a generic drug. The company claimed that it was impossible to comply with state and federal law simultaneously in regards to avoiding liability.
Ruling: The pharmaceutical company will avoid paying damages to the plaintiff. In a five to four decision, the two different laws conflicted, with the only solution being to stop selling the drug. The opinion argued that ruling the company should have stopped selling the drug would have contradicted previous court rulings.
Sex offender registration: (6/24) United States v. Kebodeaux
Kebodeaux was a member of the United States Air Force who was convicted and served a sex offense sentence. After his sentence was over, Congress enacted the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), the regulations of which Kebodeaux failed to keep up with.
Ruling: Kebodeaux was ruled to be still subject to sex offender registration standards under the federal Wetterling Act. SORNA modified registration requirements that had already applied to him.
Timeliness of issuing a mandate: (6/24) Ryan v. Shad
Schad was convicted of first-degree murder in 1985, but requested the mandate, which would make the execution sentencing final, be held pending the conclusion of a different case. After a chain of events, the Ninth Circuit did not issue a mandate, but refused a rehearing request. The question is if the Ninth Circuit was wrong in not issuing the mandate immediately.
Ruling: The Court held that "a court of appeals must issue its mandate immediately upon the denial of the petition for certiorari," according to the SCOTUS blog. Schad will be executed with no further proceedings.
Left on the docket (AP):
—Private property: A Florida property owner wants compensation, under the Constitution's requirement that the government must pay if it takes someone's property, for a local government's refusal to issue a development permit.
