Remember the UVA Law student who invented a story of how he was racially profiled and humiliated by UVA police? He’s been acquitted of honor code violations. I guess nothing is an honor code violation. #
Three months after winning his case against Fluvanna County, a court has ordered the county to pay Bryan Rothamel $37,000 in legal fees after they passed a law prohibiting him (and others) from displaying the county seal. #
Albemarle will issue an RFP for a new Crozet library. I’ll believe it when I see it. #
Amtrak’s Northeast Regional will likely have its funding renewed by Congress, continuing our daily rail service to D.C. #
Albemarle needs you to volunteer to serve on boards. ACSA, Places 29, Pantops Advisory, Planning, Police Citizens Advisory, Region Ten, and RSWA Citizens Advisory all need members. #

Nice! You’ve converted Mimbo into a sweet little portal. If you’re interested in modding up the design further, I’ve been seeing some interesting sites lately.
My apologies for taking your nice-looking software and applying it in such an ugly fashion. Since no local news outlets (IIRC) provide images in their RSS, the whole thing looks pretty sparse. Eventually I’ll mash up cvillenews.com, Charlottesville News Headlines, and Charlottesville Blogs into a single site, and that should help fill things out.
Welcome to the Mimbo family. Darren did a fantastic job with this theme, I use it for Charlottesville Photo Night.
I was wondering why there is no news from the DP.com on Cville Headlines? Are our RSS feeds still giving you trouble? I will ask our tech people about adding pictures to the stream.
DP.com news is showing up there, it’s just that the Newsplex feed totally overwhelms it and the other feeds. I’ve been working on a solution to weight Newsplex items down, thus bubbling up the others, but I haven’t hit on one that works yet. It’s really frustrating.
