WHY DID THEY HURT ME? AND ANOTHER GREAT OFFER ! this is a must see video !

Every year tens of thousands of dogs, cats, and other animals are abused and or abandoned in this country. The overwhelming majority of these loving creatures never return to a normal life or a caring family. In "Why Did They Hurt Me?", we travel the country examining shelters for these defenseless beings, and we talk to those who are working to end the suffering and abuse. As we visit with families and organizations that rescue and reach out to these animals, animals who only want to love and be loved, we unfold the story of their lives, the lives of the abused and abandoned friends who only want to live a happy life.

This film will help to awaken the concern and caring in people and hopefully shake people to work for the end of animal abuse in all forms. With the exception of a few television commercials, nothing really highlights the suffering of our companion animals, we hope to show people what happens and what can be done.

This project will require us to travel the nation for a period of about three months, meeting with people, examining shelters and organizations. We will need all of the support we can to make this happen. The total anticipated for this is 3500, including equipment and production. Regardless of the amount raised, we plan to complete this project. My goal is to raise the money here for completion, however, we will take whatever is raised through this site and at least get to a point where we can solicit completion funding. So your contributions will not go to waste either way.

Sure, every haunting buff knows about the haunted places that are featured in all of the big stories. But what about the more obscure stories, the ones that you may never hear of otherwise? This is our chance to share them with you! This film features those stories and locations that may not get the "mainstream" attention, but will still put a shiver in your spine.

We hope to have a bearing on people's interest in not only the paranormal, but in the role that history plays in it. If we are able to do this in Virginia, our plan is to document historic hauntings in other states around the nation as well. Ever state, every locale, has stories of hauntings, some more interesting and terrifying than the "mainstream" or famous stories. We want to tell those stories.

Truck crashes into Ala. BBQ again

Associated Press

LADONIA, Ala. (AP) — A truck crashed into a Ladonia barbeque restaurant for the second time in three years.
Authorities say an 18-wheeler swerved out of control on a busy highway around noon Friday and jack-knifed into the dining room of the 13th Street Bar-B-Que of Ladonia.
Owner Gary Tamor told the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer that terrified customers rushed into another part of the restaurant. He said a family with a 6-year-old boy was sitting a few feet from where the truck stopped.
No serious injuries were reported and Phenix City officer Dennis Greene said the case is under investigation.
A truck also hit the store two years ago on Christmas night. But that accident took place when the restaurant was empty.

Black lawmakers voted for law challenged by ADC

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A black political organization has filed a lawsuit challenging a new state law that bans the transfer of campaign contributions between political action committees, even though blacks in the House and Senate voted for the legislation.
The lawsuit by the Alabama Democratic Conference, the black wing of the state Democratic Party, was filed earlier this month in federal court in Birmingham. It says the ban on PAC-to-PAC transfers violates the ADC's free speech rights and hurts its efforts to get black voters to the polls. ADC chairman Joe Reed says the ban restricts the Democratic Party's ability to transfer money to the ADC's efforts to get out the vote in black communities.
"It has the effect of undermining the black vote. It's directly tied to the role the Democratic Conference has played in the political process," Reed said.
But black legislators, particularly in the Alabama House, have historically supported efforts to ban PAC-to-PAC transfers and heavily backed the bill by Republican Rep. Mac McCutcheon of Capshaw in Limestone County. Critics of the process of financing campaigns have long complained that candidates could hide the source of their money by moving funds from one PAC to another, making it nearly impossible for voters to determine who gave the initial contribution.
Former Democratic Rep. Jeff McLaughlin of Guntersville, who was defeated in last year's elections, sponsored the bill for much of the last decade. Most years it passed the House with unanimous or near unanimous support only to fail in the Senate, often failing to come up for a vote on the Senate floor. After Republicans won majorities in the House and Senate last year, then Gov. Bob Riley called a special session to consider ethics reform, including the ban on PAC-to-PAC transfers.
With McCutcheon sponsoring the bill in the special session, it again sailed through the House and received final passage on a 104-0 vote, receiving support from black and white lawmakers. The bill was more hotly debated and amended several times in the Senate but still passed 32-0. After going to a conference committee, the final version of the bill passed without opposition in the House and the Senate.
McCutcheon said during debate of the bill, particularly in the Senate, there were concerns about how the measure would affect the ADC's get-out-the-vote efforts. But he said most questions were answered and black and white lawmakers overwhelmingly supported the bill.
"If contributors want to give to the ADC, they can still do it. They just can't receive money that comes from another PAC," McCutcheon said. He said the law forces both the Democratic and Republican parties to "take a hard look at contributions."
Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, a black lawmaker who often is outspoken on issues where he believes there is racial injustice, said he is "100 percent for the PAC-to-PAC ban." He said he understands that Reed is trying to help the ADC.
"I just think when people give campaign contributions, the voters should know who the money is coming from," Holmes said.
Reed said he understands that most black legislators supported the PAC-to-PAC ban. But he still believes the law is wrong and unconstitutionally blocks ADC's ability to raise money.
"My first amendment rights can't be abrogated, undermined or diluted just because a bill got black or white support in the Legislature," Reed said.
Reed pointed out that he has consistently expressed concerns about the ban and several years ago spoke against what was then McLaughlin's bill in a Senate committee. At that time he said it would make it hard for the ADC to raise money for get-out-the-vote efforts.
Republican Speaker Mike Hubbard criticized the lawsuit and said Reed, a vice chairman of the Democratic Party, has political motives.
"It is the height of hypocrisy for Democrats to try and weaken this law after both parties publicly supported and voted in favor of banning PAC-to-PAC transfers," Hubbard said. "This has never been a partisan issue. Both parties came together to pass this critical reform without a single dissenting vote."
A black legislator, Rep. Oliver Robinson, D-Birmingham, said he understands Reed's position, but he has always supported campaign reform efforts, including the ban on PAC-to-PAC transfers.
"We (black legislators) always supported McLaughlin's bill. We couldn't turn in the middle of the road just because a Republican was now handling the bill," Robinson said.
Robinson said what to do with money from political action committees has never been a big issue for him because "there's not a lot of money out there to be raised" in his urban, mostly low income Birmingham district.

GOP candidate Cain in Alabama on Saturday

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain is set to visit one the state's mostly heavily Republican counties.
The former Godfather's Pizza chief executive will speak at the Shelby County Republican Party's summer dinner on Saturday evening. It's a party fundraiser, with tickets starting at $100.
Cain is the first of several current or potential Republican presidential candidates set to visit the state.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is expected to hold a fundraising reception in Birmingham on Aug. 30. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who's considering entering the race, will address the state Republican Party's summer dinner in Birmingham on Aug. 12.
Alabama's presidential preference primary is scheduled for March.

Ala. ethics leaders: Referral fees no longer legal

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The chairmen of the House and Senate ethics committees have sent a letter to legislators saying referral fees from lobbyists are not allowed under Alabama's new ethics law.
Republican Sen. Bryan Taylor of Prattville and Rep. Mike Ball of Huntsville said Thursday the passage of the law in December created a new day in Alabama.
The two legislators sent the letter after testimony in Alabama's gambling corruption trial showed lobbyist Jarrod Massey paid fees to former Democratic Rep. Terry Spicer of Elba and lobbyist Steve Windom paid fees to Republican Rep. Barry Mask of Wetumpka for several years. The fees were for referring clients to the lobbyists.

Ala. lobbyist: $2.7M pledged for pro-gambling pols

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Testimony in Alabama's gambling corruption trial on Friday showed the multimillion dollar impact that one casino owner planned to have on Alabama's elections last year before his Dothan operation was forced to close.
The testimony by Country Crossing casino lobbyist Jarrod Massey also showed he didn't always talk with state senators about campaign contributions that he considered bribes for votes.
Massey said his boss, Country Crossing developer Ronnie Gilley, promised to give him $2.7 million to distribute to political candidates for Alabama's 2010 elections, but he only got about one-tenth of the money.
Massey said the money was intended for supporters of pro-gambling legislation, but Gilley was leaving the distribution of the campaign donations up to him.
"I was to move it as I saw fit," he testified.
Massey spent his seventh day on the witness stand, making him the longest witness in the 6-week-old trial. He will testify more on Monday.
Massy said Friday he had a handwritten agreement with Gilley in September 2009 for the $2.7 million. He said he was supposed to receive the money over 10 months, but he only got between $270,000 and $300,000.
Gilley's Dothan casino was forced to close in January 2010 to avoid a raid by state police, and Gilley began having financial problems, according to his earlier testimony in the case.
Despite the shutdown, Gilley still had a big financial impact on the 2010 elections before he and Massey were indicted in October along with the nine people currently on trial.
Campaign finance reports filed with the secretary of state show Gilley and his companies donated $473,317 to campaigns. Others associated with Country Crossing, including contractors and lobbyists, added another $350,700, which pushed the total to $824,017.
Massey and Gilley have pleaded guilty to offering bribes to legislators and have testified in the trial of nine defendants accused of using campaign donations to buy and sell votes on legislation. The bill would have protected electronic bingo casinos from raids by the governor's gambling task force if it had been approved by the Legislature and by Alabama voters.
During the testimony Friday, defense attorneys trying to portray Massey as an untrustworthy witness got him to reveal more about his financial relationship with former Democratic state Rep. Terry Spicer of Elba, who is not among those indicted.
Massey testified earlier that he paid Spicer about $3,000 a month in cash for seven years for helping him get lobbying clients, including Country Crossing. He added Friday that he supplied Spicer with tickets for Alabama and Auburn football games, Bama Jam music festivals in south Alabama, and minor league baseball games in Montgomery, as well as paid for him to go to Fort Myers, Fla.
"I have been bribing Mr. Spicer for some time," Massey told the jury.
Testimony earlier in the trial showed Spicer has been interviewed by the FBI.
Spicer was defeated for re-election last year and is now school superintendent in Elba. He has not returned phone calls seeking comment.
Massey was questioned Friday by defense attorneys for former Democratic Sen. Larry Means of Attalla, former Republican Sen. Jim Preuitt of Talladega, and independent Sen. Harri Anne Smith of Slocomb. All three senators voted for pro-gambling legislation supported by Massey and Gilley in March 2010, but Smith was the only one of the three re-elected to the Senate in November 2010. All three have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Massey testified that Jennifer Pouncy, a member of his lobbying firm who has also pleaded guilty, told him in March 2010 that "Senator Means wants $100,000 for his vote." But he acknowledged that he never discussed the $100,000 with Means and he gave nothing to Means after a $5,000 donation in June 2009.
In a phone call recorded by the FBI in March 2010, Massey talked about then-Republican Sen. Jim Preuitt being promised campaign donations, polling, an experienced campaign worker and a fund-raising concert for his support. But he testified Friday that none of that was ever delivered.
He testified Gilley gave him $40,000 to contribute to state Sen. Smith for her 2008 congressional race because she had become a supporter of his project. The amount violated federal contribution limits, so Massey said he lined up several people, wrote them checks and then got them to write checks to Smith's campaign for a total of $23,000. Then he kept the rest to pay income taxes on the $40,000.
When asked by Smith's attorney if she knew about his maneuvering and that Country Crossing was behind the donations, Massey said, "I was not aware of her having any knowledge about the money." But he added that he felt like he played a role in bribing her.
Under questioning by Smith's attorney, Massey acknowledged that even though he arranged donations for her, he was critical of her in conversations with others involved in the gambling issue.
"I didn't think she was the brightest state senator," he testified.

Opinion Mitch McConnell’s Premature Retreat- Will SSI and disability checks be cut?

By Staff Writers It’s no surprise some in Congress have hailed Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell’s new debt ceiling proposal as politically savvy. What’s
surprising is that a large portion of McConnell’s establishment Republicans and
even some “conservatives” have joined the chorus. But the shocking measure would
betray the trust of the American voters who sent a wave of Republicans to
Congress in 2010 to put the nation’s fiscal house in order. McConnell’s plan
would allow President Obama to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion in three
separate installments over the next year unless two-thirds of both houses of
Congress disagree with the increase. Everyone knows Republicans lack a
super-majority. The president would have to propose spending cuts equal to the
amount of each hike, but Congress could (and probably would) ignore the
suggestions. This proposal is purely political in its motivation, intended to
shift the responsibility for unpopular debt ceiling hikes entirely onto the
president. Establishment Republicans like McConnell are gambling that by putting
the blame for debt hikes on Obama, they will help the Republican




challenger in 2012 and get control of spending in 2013. This is wishful thinking.

Electing a more fiscally conservative president and Congress is essential, of course, but McConnell’s proposal to grant more borrowing power to the biggest-spending president in American history is not the way to do it. It’s a mistake to think that giving Democrats impunity to borrow and spend today will somehow ensure a victory for fiscal restraint tomorrow.

Aside from the fact that delegating completely unlimited borrowing power to the president is constitutionally questionable at best, it’s just a bad idea. Doing so is not in the public interest and would only put us that much closer to a Greek-style debt crisis in the next few years. Washington is already borrowing 43 cents of every dollar it spends. The national debt has doubled in the past five years, including a 43-percent increase in just two years. This year’s budget deficit of $1.6 trillion indicates we have a serious spending problems, and we simply cannot afford to increase the government’s borrowing power without enacting substantial budget reforms.

Polls show that the American people want to see three things: real cuts, spending caps with teeth, and a Balanced Budget Amendment. 

The fiscal responsibility mandate of the 2010 elections means Congress should not approve another penny of debt without first enacting “Cut, Cap, and Balance.” 

McConnell’s plan raises serious questions about whether Republicans are committed to pursuing the change Americans are demanding. His eagerness to cover Republicans politically without putting up much of a fight for real reform suggests business-as-usual is McConnell’s strategy of choice.

But there are senators committed to restoring fiscal sanity. A bill proposed by Sens. Rand Paul, (Ky.0, Pat Toomey, (Penn.), and Mike Lee (Utah), (S.1340) would raise the debt limit, but only if accompanied by substantial spending cuts, an enforceable statutory spending cap, and the submission to the states of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Unlike the misguided McConnell proposal, this bill would satisfy the public's demand for permanent reform and end the reckless borrowing and overspending.

McConnell’s retreat, however politically clever, is still a retreat. And it’s premature. The debt ceiling will have to be raised, but August 2 is not Armageddon. If an increase isn’t passed before then, the United States will not default on its debt, nor will the president have to delay Medicare, Social Security or military pay. Some spending will have to be delayed, yes, but there is still time to pursue real spending cuts and permanent reforms along with an increase in the debt ceiling without catastrophic results.

McConnell is not up for reelection again until 2014, but two Republicans are retiring and eight face reelection in 2012. It’s difficult to foresee Tea Party voters rewarding McConnell’s retreat by capturing Democratic seats or reelecting Senate Republicans who supported his proposal. Since the Senate Majority Leader has already lost sight of the voters’ mandate, Speaker John Boehner would be wise to bring the Paul/Toomey/Lee bill up for a vote in the House as soon as possible. He may be our last hope for restoring fiscal responsibility.

Chambers County sex offender behind bars 43 accounts of possesion of child porn and also meth lab!

Jeremy May, a convicted sex offender, was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Valley, Alabama after they were tipped off to a domestic dispute between May and his mother. Police deputies was called and  found more than they expected.
After searching the property of his mother's home and a mobile home, investigators found a meth lab and a brief case containing several images of child pornography.

More than 200 images, files and pornographic material were found on a thumbdrive. Officers tells us that most of the pictures were found in the brief case. Among other things found was a collection of women's underwear.

Chambers County investigators tell us that May is a registered sex offender.
Chambers County Investigator Sergeant Shannon Rollins says catching people like May will hopefully make the community safe.
"We can catch the folks who are using it then maybe we can track back the folks who are producing it because they are the ones who are hurting kids and that are what we are trying to do protect the kids," Rollins said.

Artillery simulators found on interstate

Associated Press

RIVERSIDE, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say what was initially believed to be a bag containing explosives found on the side of Interstate 20 in St. Clair County turned out to be three mostly harmless artillery simulators.
The suspicious bag was discovered Wednesday morning by a man whose car broke down on I-20 near the Riverside exit. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department's bomb squad was called to assist the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department and Riverside police. Jefferson sheriff's officials said it turned out the bag contained artillery simulators that are used in military training.
The simulators make a loud noise, but cause little damage.
State troopers shut down traffic on the highway while the bag was investigated, but the highway has been reopened.

Birmingham police kill robbery suspec

Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Birmingham police say an officer shot and killed a robbery suspect in the Titusville neighborhood.
Police Sgt. Johnny Williams says a resident stopped officers Tuesday afternoon and reported a robbery in progress.
Williams says the officers began a foot chase of an armed male suspect, which ended with the suspect being fatally shot.
Williams says officers found a gun in the man's hand following the shooting, which took place across the street from Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church.
He says the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and the internal affairs unit of Birmingham's police department will investigate.

Ala. senator: 'will take no gifts from lobbyists'

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A state senator has urged lawmakers to sign a pledge that they will not take money or anything of value from lobbyists.
Republican state Sen. Gerald Dial of Lineville signed the pledge Wednesday during a Statehouse news conference. Republican senators Trip Pittman of Daphne, Paul Bussman of Cullman and Jabo Waggoner of Vestavia Hills also signed the pledge Wednesday.
Dial said it was inspired by testimony during a federal corruption trial of lawmakers being offered benefits by lobbyists in exchange for votes.
But Dial said the pledge would not stop senators from receiving campaign donations from lobbyists. He said it's already against the law to take a campaign contribution in exchange for a vote.
Much of the testimony at the bingo corruption trial involves lobbyists promising campaign donations.

Ala. secretary of state takes association office

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Secretary of State Beth Chapman has been inducted as president of the National Association of Secretaries of State.
Chapman was inducted as the national organization's president Wednesday at its annual summer conference in Daniels, W.Va.
She will serve as president through July, 2012. It's only the second time that an Alabama secretary of state has held the position.
Chapman said she expects the national association to play a key role as states prepare for the presidential election in 2012.
The association also announced Wednesday that it had selected former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to receive its Margaret Chase Smith American Democracy Award. Rice grew up in Birmingham. She was nominated for the award by Chapman.

Ala man pleads guilty over hoax anthrax letters

Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say an Alabama man has pleaded guilty to mailing hoax anthrax letters sent to Sen. Richard Shelby and others.
A statement released Tuesday by U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance says 39-year-old Clifton Lamar Dodd of Lincoln pleaded guilty to 23 counts of mailing letters that contained white powder which could have been perceived as a biological toxin.
One of the letters arrived at Shelby's office in Birmingham in March 2010. Other letters went to state Sen. Jim Preuitt of Talladega, a pair of Talladega County judges, the sheriff in Talladega and several inmates in the county jail, plus police investigators from Lincoln and Oxford.
Another round of letters went out in April 2010.
Aside from the postal charge, Dodd pleaded guilty to conspiracy. A co-defendant pleaded guilty last year.

Ala. casino lobbyist cries over his criminal past

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A tearful casino lobbyist testified Tuesday that he pleaded guilty to offering bribes to legislators because he didn't want to lie to his family as he had to others about his role in the gambling corruption scandal at Alabama's Statehouse.
U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson had to interrupt court to allow Country Crossing lobbyist Jarrod Massey to regain his composure.
"I'm sorry for inconveniencing the court and the jury," Massey said.
Massey had been on the witness stand since Thursday testifying for the prosecution about how he worked with casino operators and other lobbyists to offer bribes to four current and former state senators on trial. He remained calm and low-key throughout that testimony. But his demeanor changed when prosecutor Emily Woods asked him about why he pleaded guilty in December and why he volunteered to go to jail in January even though he hadn't been sentenced.
Massey, 40, said there was plenty of evidence against him from wiretapped phone calls and he knew he was facing a significant prison sentence.
Then the tears started.
He started saying, "The discussion I had with my wife and children," but he couldn't finish the sentence for choking up. At that point, the judge stopped the trial until Massey could talk without crying.
When court resumed, Massey said he talked to his family about the trouble he faced. "I did not want to lie to them."
Referring to his two children, he said, "I've always told my children you have to accept responsibility."
He said he wanted to follow his own advice.
Earlier, Massey admitted lying about his involvement when the FBI first contacted him on March 31, 2010.
"I thought I could ride it out," he said.
Under questioning by an attorney for indicted casino owner Milton McGregor, Massey admitted he was violating the law before he became a lobbyist for an electronic bingo casino.
"You have been a violator of the criminal law for many years," defense attorney Bobby Segall said.
"I agree 100 percent," Massey said. He added that he had been violating the law for "about 10 years."
Massey did not elaborate, but he testified earlier in the trial that he started making monthly cash payments to former Democratic Rep. Terry Spicer of Elba in 2002 or 2003 and continued the payments for several years. Spicer has not been charged, but he is on the list of potential witnesses for the trial, which is in its sixth week.
Massey once ran a high-profile lobbying business with several clients. He testified earlier that Country Crossing developer Ronnie Gilley, who has also pleaded guilty, was his biggest client and was paying him as much as $16,500 a month for his work. But he said getting indicted in October devastated his business and caused his clients to scatter.
He spent much of Monday testifying about offering bribes to Democratic Sen. Quinton Ross of Montgomery, former Democratic Sen. Larry Means of Attalla, and former Republican Sen. Jim Preuitt of Talladega to get them to vote for pro-gambling legislation. On Tuesday, he turned his attention to the fourth senator on trial: independent Harri Anne Smith of Slocomb.
Prosecutor Emily Woods asked Massey, "Was one of the legislators you bribed Harri Anne Smith?"
"Yes," Massey replied.
He said Smith was originally opposed to having the Country Crossing casino in Dothan, which is in her Senate district, but she changed her views when Gilley started helping her campaign for Congress in 2008.
He said Gilley gave him $40,000 to donate to her campaign, but they didn't want the money to show up as being from gambling sources. The $40,000 is more than federal law allows to be donated from one source for a congressional campaign, so Massey said he divided up the money among several individuals and got them to write checks to Smith's campaigns. Massey said he kept more than one-third to pay taxes on the money he received from Gilley.
Massey said he never talked with Smith about the maneuvers he was using to hide the source of the money.
"I assumed it was unlawful, but I wasn't 100 percent sure," he testified.
Massey also testified that he worked with Gilley to donate $25,000 to Smith in December 2009 to keep her support, but he routed it through political action committees run by lobbyist Clair Austin to hide its origin.
Massey said Smith voted for the pro-gambling legislation when the Senate approved it on March 30, 2001, and later that day, she asked him to check on $200,000 that she said Gilley had pledged to her re-election campaign. Prosecutors played a wiretapped phone call between Massey and one of the defendants, Country Crossing spokesman Jay Walker, where Massey told Walker to check with Gilley about the money.
One day after the Senate's votes, federal and state investigators knocked on Massey's front door and asked him if he knew about attempted bribery at the Statehouse.
"First and foremost, I denied any involvement," he testified.
"Was that the truth?" the prosecutor asked.
"No ma'am," he said.
Massey's plea deal with the government calls for him to get a sentence of 14 to 17½ years. Defense attorneys said that can be reduced based on his helpfulness and that gives him reason to tell half-truths in order to please the prosecution.
Massey testified that no one has promised him anything, but he said that when he is sentenced in November, "I would hope to get time served."
The judge, who will decide the sentence, showed no reaction.

Ala. schools superintendent defends his record

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Retiring state Schools Superintendent Joe Morton defended his record Tuesday of recommending that teachers lose their certificates for various types of misconduct.
In a recent issue of the Alabama Education Association's Alabama School Journal, AEA Associate Executive Secretary Joe Reed said Morton has been "openly hostile" to public educators and that Morton proposed that more teachers have their certificates revoked than past superintendents.
In the article, Reed said of Morton, "If I were to say anything good about his tenure, it would simply be 'goodbye'."
Morton told the state school board at Tuesday's meeting that Reed's assertions are "incorrect and wrong-minded."
Morton said he takes the revocation of certificates very seriously and that most revocations he recommended involved teachers using illegal drugs, having inappropriate sexual contact with students or committing crimes.
"If I don't take it seriously, students could be tarnished for decades," Morton said.
Morton's office released a list of descriptions of misconduct in the last 25 teacher revocations he recommended, including one case where a teacher had sex with a student and another where a teacher planned a private camping trip with a student.
Reed later said he agrees teachers should be dismissed if involved "in that kind of behavior." But he said Morton overstepped his authority in some cases by recommending teachers lose their licenses even though the local school board had ruled on their side.
Board vice president Randy McKinney of Orange Beach told Richardson at Tuesday's meeting that he was pleased with the way the superintendent had handled the revocation of teaching certificates. Board member Betty Peters of Dothan said she strongly commended Morton for how he had handled the revocations.

Death row inmate Snyder dies of apparent suicide

Associated Press

ATMORE, Ala. (AP) — An inmate who had spent more than 11 years on Alabama's death row has died in his cell at Holman Prison in Atmore from an apparent suicide.
Department of Corrections spokesman Brian Corbett said 48-year-old inmate William A. Snyder died early Tuesday morning of an apparent suicide. Corbett said the death is being investigated and he could not release further details.
Snyder was convicted of killing 72-year-old Dixie Gaither, 72, her son, 45-year-ole Carey M. Gaither and his girlfriend, 37-year-old Nancy Burkhalter in Talladega County. The Gaithers had been beaten to death with a shovel and robbed. Burkhalter was shot three times at a separate residence.
During the sentencing phase of his trial, Snyder asked jurors to sentence him to death.

Rain, humidity reduces threat of Ala. wildfires

Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say recent rains and higher humidity have reduced the threat of wildfires in most areas in Alabama.
The Alabama Forestry Commission officials said Tuesday that only Mobile, Monroe and Baldwin counties remain under a drought emergency declaration. A no burn order remains in effect for those three counties.
At one point, all 67 Alabama counties were under the no burn order, but forestry officials say the threat has diminished as rain has spread across the state.
The drought emergency declaration had been in effect for 21 south Alabama counties, but has been reduced to fire alert Tuesday for all but Monroe, Mobile and Baldwin counties. Commission officials say people outside those three counties still should use caution in burning and not leave fires unattended.

Woman Drugs husband, ties him to bed, cut off his penis & puts it through a garbage disposal.

By Associated Press

GARDEN GROVE, California (AP) - A woman was in custody Tuesday after authorities said she drugged her estranged husband, tied him to a bed, cut off his penis and put it through a garbage disposal.

Lt. Jeff Nightengale said Catherine Kieu Becker drugged a meal and served it to the victim, whose name was not released, shortly before the attack Monday night.

Nightengale said the 51-year-old man felt sick, went to lie down and lost consciousness. The 48-year-old Becker then tied the victim's arms and legs to the bed with rope, removed his clothes and attacked him with a 10-inch (25.4-centimeter) kitchen knife as he awoke, Nightengale said.

"He was conscious when his penis was removed," Nightengale said.

Nightengale said Becker put the penis in the garbage disposal and turned it on.

Nightengale said Becker called emergency services and indicated to arriving officers that the victim was in the next room. Paramedics found him tied to the bed, bleeding profusely.

Bail for Becker was set at $1 million after she was booked for investigation of aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse.

The victim underwent surgery and was in serious condition at a hospital. Nightengale said the man is expected to survive.

A call to a hospital spokeswoman was not immediately returned.

Becker was taken into custody without incident, although she would not talk to officers, Nightengale said.

Becker is due in court Wednesday. A telephone listing for her residence could not be located and no one was home in the apartment.

Neighbor Lourdes Painter told The Associated Press the couple had been married since December, did not have any children and seemed very quiet. Becker and her husband lived in a second-story condo in the working class complex. Painter lives in the unit below them.

The couple was reportedly in the process of a divorce.

Nightengale said a database search showed no previous calls to the house for any past problems.

No private attorney was listed on booking documents. If Becker seeks a public defender, one could be appointed at her first court appearance.

Dale County sheriff's investigators seek solicitation suspect

    Dale County Sheriff’s deputies are looking for a Dothan man who they believe solicited a child online for sexual purposes.

Warrants have been issued for Burtrand “Burt” Russell Leverette, 50, of Dothan. According to Dale County Chief Sheriff’s Investigator Harvey Mathis, Leverette is wanted on charges of child solicitation by computer in relation to a child under age 16.
