WASHINGTON - The United States recalled its ambassador and considered further sanctions against Syria on Tuesday, a day after the fiery assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in downtown Beirut.
The actions signaled that the Bush administration intends to use Hariri's death to press demands that Syria withdraw its troops from Lebanon and stop supporting terrorism, even without proof that Damascus was involved in the assassination.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice ordered U.S. Ambassador Margaret Scobey to return to Washington after Scobey first delivered a tough message to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
''The Syrian problem is a serious problem,'' Rice said. ''Our problems with the Syrian government are not new.''
Among the problems, Rice said, were support for terrorism and for insurgents in Iraq. ''The Syrian government is, unfortunately, on a path right now where relations are not improving but are worsening,'' she said.
Scobey's return does not break diplomatic relations with Syria. Syria took no immediate reciprocal action, such as recalling its own ambassador from Washington.
State Department officials, who requested anonymity to speak more freely, said the move probably heralded a long-term downgrading of U.S. relations with Syria.
Rice and President Bush are considering additional economic and diplomatic sanctions against Damascus, beyond those the president ordered last May, the officials said.
Hariri's assassination by a powerful car bomb Monday has raised fears of new sectarian violence in Lebanon, which has been relatively peaceful since its 15-year civil war ended in 1990.
Hariri's backers charged through Beirut and at least two other cities Tuesday, chanting slogans against Syria, the primary power broker in Lebanon.
Syria has denied a role in Hariri's killing, and no definitive proof of responsibility has emerged. The U.N. Security Council on Tuesday requested that Secretary-General Kofi Annan report ''urgently on the circumstances, causes and consequences of this terrorist act.''
U.S. officials said the United States had no evidence of Syrian complicity in Hariri's assassination.
Instead, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher advanced the argument that the killing undercuts Syria's stated reason for keeping 14,000 troops in Lebanon: To maintain the multiethnic country's stability.
In September, the Security Council passed a resolution demanding that Syria withdraw its troops from Lebanon. The United States and France sponsored the measure.
The Bush administration has used diplomacy to try to get Syria to halt the use of its territory by supporters of the insurgency in Iraq.
But Bush harshly criticized Syria in his State of the Union address two weeks ago, and the new moves Tuesday suggested that the White House is moving toward outright confrontation with Damascus.
Bush, acting under a 2003 law passed by Congress, imposed largely symbolic sanctions on Syria last May, including a flight ban on Syrian aircraft and a prohibition of exports other than food and medicine.
Separately, he ordered U.S. financial institutions to cut ties with the Commercial Bank of Syria because of money-laundering concerns, and froze assets in the United States that belong to Syrian individuals and government entities.
The president could implement tougher sanctions under the 2003 law — such as banning U.S. business investments in Syria and imposing travel restrictions on Syrian diplomats posted to the United States — and under other U.S. laws.
But Kenneth Katzman, a Middle East expert at the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, said getting too tough with Damascus could put pressure on the Bush administration to disclose any evidence it had of Syrian complicity in Hariri's assassination.
''At some point, people are going to ask where's the evidence?'' Katzman said.
Alienating Syria also could prompt it to try to play spoiler in recently revived peace efforts between Israel and the Arabs, a role Damascus has played frequently in years past.

Two summers ago, my friend Brannen got some LSD. He said we could do it together, but we had to find the right place. I knew plenty of right places - a hotel, Chuck E. Cheese's, a Ferris wheel, the petting zoo - but Brannen meant somewhere crazy, David Cronenberg crazy, like an insane asylum or an insane asylum for ghosts.
The craziest place I could think of was the State Fair, but I'm banned from there indefinitely, so we picked the craziest place Brannen could think of - Hampton Beach. I'd never been there, but had heard things about it. Bad things. But I assumed they were all slander and that going there on hallucinogens would be a wacky adventure, the same logic used by characters in every film beginning with "National Lampoon's," "Broken Lizard's," or "Rob Zombie's."
We went on a Thursday, meeting at the Mall of New Hampshire and taking Brannen's car. On the drive Brannen shared his memories as a Hampton Beach survivor. One was getting pinkeye from the Silent Scope machine at the arcade. Another was his friend who buys drugs everywhere refusing to buy them at Hampton because he thought it was too shady. We hit Seabrook and passed its power plant, which I said looked like a giant boob. Actually it looks more like an oblong Death Star, but I was getting sexed up for the beach, where boobs assault you at every turn and most of them want money.
As bad as it looks.
The lot we parked at was run by a girl who looked like an extra from Saved by the Bell 2: Showgirls. I'm pretty sure parking girls at Hampton have to sign a modeling contract agreeing to wear the smallest thong and least water-absorbent t-shirt possible. I wish the contract also made them remind every customer that they're a parking attendant and the money they're collecting is only for parking and even though there's a board listing various time intervals, those are just for parking too. This would've avoided the awkward exchange where I asked the girl if she was a prostitute and got a black eye, metaphorically, when I realized I'd scandalized our reputations forever.
As we approached the beach I felt nervous, partially because of the acid (we'd already taken it in the car) but mostly because of Hampton itself, which looks like a collusion of The Crow and Unreal Tournament. Every building is nailed together from driftwood and lacquered with neon paint. The air smells like ozone and seared flesh, like an explosion on a bumper car ride. Everyone has a tan; most people have two or three, applying bronzer like Goths slapping on pancake makeup.
You say collaboration like it's a bad word.
The ocean is full of the stuff of nightmares and, no thanks to all that water, you can't even kill it with fire.
I hope you updated before the apocalypse, because the google play app store won't even connect now.

Four young people, three from Macon County, were hurt in a wreck last Monday night, February 3, on Union Hill Road in Clay County, and the impact of the crash was so severe it knocked the engine out of the car.
According to the report filed by Trooper Mark Mahan, 21-year-old Spencer Holden, of Nashville, was driving a 2004 Nissan Maxima west bound on Union Hill Road. The vehicle topped a hill causing the vehicle to go airborne, indicating speed was a contributing factor. Once the vehicle made contact back on the roadway the vehicle crossed the center of the road. The vehicle then exited the roadway where it struck an embankment and tree. The impact was so severe that the engine was knocked out of the car. The vehicle also rolled numerous times where it came to rest on its left side.
Spencer Holden was transported to Cookeville Regional Medical Center by ground ambulance and was later transferred to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. He was discharged on Sunday, February 9.
Passengers included 19-year-old Christopher Blackburn and 18-year-old Cierra Sullivan, both of Lafayette, who were transported to Cookeville Regional; and a juvenile from Red Boiling Springs was also carried to Cookeville for treatment.
Charges are pending against Spencer Holden. Trooper Mark Mahan was the investigating officer.
Charges stacked up against Allen Michael Gee, including driving a stolen vehicle, after Macon County Sheriffs Office Sgt. Michael Veatch, stopped him in Macon County on Saturday morning, February 8, following a gas drive off in Gamaliel, Kentucky. He is 28 years old and lives on Dogwood Lane in Red Boiling Springs.
Last Saturday morning, Macon County law officers were notified to be on the look out for a white 4-door F250 Ford with yellow caution lights on top that was involved in a gas drive off from Pitcock's Market in Gamaliel. "The owner had followed the guy, who was later identified as Gee, into Macon County," said Sgt. Veatch, "He immediately notified us that the vehicle was in our jurisdiction and I came into contact with the truck on the east side of the county."
After Sgt. Veatch pulled the vehicle over, there was a strong odor of alcohol coming from Allen Michael Gee and he did admit stealing the diesel fuel from the market in Gamaliel. The suspect exited the vehicle but refused a field soberity test, at which time enough evidence had been obtained to place him under arrest.
Alcohol was present in the vehicle, both full and empty containers.
Sgt. Veatch then checked for active warrants and he also checked on the status of the vehicle, later to find out that the truck had been stolen from a company in Cookeville, Tenn. two days prior on February 6.
The vehicle was towed from the scene and Gee was transported to the Macon County Sheriffs Office for booking. Sgt. Veatch charged him with driving under the influence, violation of seat belt law, driving on a suspended license, violation of implied consent, open container violation, buy/sell/rec/poss stolen property and habitual offender.
Bond is set at $27,000 and a General Sessions Court date is set for Feb. 12.
The case is still under investigation and possible leads concerning other area thefts in Macon and surrounding counties.
It was a long road to recovery after a tornado shook Macon County on February 5, 2008, and the only way to truly understand the magnitude of what happened is to start from the very beginning.
E-911 Director Steve Jones stopped by the Macon County Chronicle last Saturday afternoon and six years after a massive twister touched down in our county we discussed that fateful day and how it changed our lives forever. Macon County had to rebuild lives and bury their dead.
"It was a different kind of February day – unusually warm for that time of the year and breezy," said E-911 Director Steve Jones. "Like everybody else we were at home that night on Akersville Road, and Hunter, Latise and I were just fixing to go to bed."
Jones said he had just sat down on the edge of the bed when he heard this roaring sound and went to the window and looked out. "I saw the glow in the sky and I was stunned. Trees were bending in the wind and it sounded like a train coming through."
"When I realized it was a twister we started looking for the safest place in the house which was a closet, but by the time we got inside it was gone," he said. "Although we could feel the vibrations, it was actually gone as fast as it came."
Frantic, as soon as the winds subsided Jones rushed next door to check on his parents, who were safe. "When I looked up the road, I saw major TVA power lines laying on the ground and I got on my cell phone (which was still working at that time) and called dispatch. I told them they needed to get Tri County in route but of course at that time nobody could get up and down the road."
After the funnel cloud barreled on down the road, Nicky and Paula Roark, who lived on the Williams Road called Steve on his cell phone and said their home had been destroyed and they were hurt. "She thought her husband's back was broke and her and their children were also injured," he continued. "They wanted to know if I could come and get them and I said we'd head that way."
Jones got his Kawasaki Mule ATV and him and Latise started down that way. "I didn't see a lot of damage around my house, but when we traveled down Akersville Road toward Tuck Road we started seeing all the damage." The director said trees were snatched from the ground, power lines were down, homes were lifted then tossed in the air and the tattered landscape looked like a war zone. "That's when we started seeing injured people coming out of what was left of their homes as we made our way to where the New Zion Baptist Church had once stood." Steve said when they got to the Roark's they found Nicky, Paula and their three children, the youngest was only 9 months old. "They were all scared to death and after they were all loaded in the back of the Kawasaki, I brought the family back out to a waiting ambulance, that couldn't get down there because of the power lines across the road."
Tri County Electric was overwhelmed with everything going on, but they had one of their large trucks to pick up those lines so the ambulances and other emergency traffic could get through. "Latise went to work at the hospital and I went back into what was later termed "Ground Zero" and brought four more people to waiting ambulances."
By this time a house to house search had begun and Jones said it was the first time in his life (he had been trained in triage and mass casualties) that he actually triaged, looked at somebody and said 'these are your injuries, you are going to be okay, somebody else will be here to take care of you' and went on to the next person. "I was still on the Akersville/Williams Road area and we checked every house, ditch, field, barn and shed in the storm's path, however by day break multiple volunteers became involved and the search was broadened to areas harder to reach. I went to the ambulance service where our office where our E-911 Office was and started setting up." "TEMA got there and I talked with an official and I told him to set up in the EMS rooms," said Jones. "I contacted NCTC and they started setting up phone lines and just in a short period of time we had a ECO (Emergency Operation Center) up and operating. Other departments were working at their locations. EMA Director Keith Scruggs (also Lafayette Fire Chief) came over, set up and started operating there at the ambulance service building. Therefore, the EMS became the operating center."
The THP also came in set up and said they were there to help.
When a disaster happens, Keith Scruggs makes the calls asking for help. "He is very knowledgeable and stays up to date on everything including the different agencies," Jones said. "The EMA Director and Mayor Shelvy Linville became the two contact people. Once the mayor declared a state of emergency, EMA Director Scruggs began asking for help. He then involved TEMA and they contacted FEMA."
They started setting up everything that had to be done. "The first thing was to make sure that all the injured people had been taken care of, and then came the grim task of recovering the bodies of the people who died in the storm. Shortly after we had a map put together and we came up with the swath that was seen across the tornado map. We flew the route with a THP pilot and the National Guard."
Director Jones said the thing that was so great was how everybody worked together. "It was a community that came together."
During the next few weeks agencies were setting up short term recovery, long term recovery and everything they did had to be documented so the county and agencies could be reimbursed through federal funds. "Keith Scruggs and I worked together very well during the disaster. "My department is a support department of all the agencies."
Steve said he experienced massive injuries and mass casualties and although he had extensive training, you are never really prepared for something of this magnitude. "We all think it can't happen to us, but it can," he added. "I have always said in my career that people don't realize that in a split second life can change forever, either with an injury or illness. IT doesn't matter how much money you have, how rich you are, it can all change and people need to appreciate their lives." "When the cyclone went through it didn't matter if you lived in the strongest brick structure or a mobile home, they were both destroyed. Mother Nature doesn't pick and choose."
"The disaster has made me think a lot more," Steve said. "Through the years I have seen a lot of tragedy, but that is part of what you have to deal with in the emergency service field."
"Today, people are much more cautious of the weather," he said. "We are getting grants now to help build our emergency services. We are in the process of redesigning our communication by installing 14 outdoor warning sirens across the county. So, when you are inside you have your TV or weather radio and when you are outside you have emergency warning sirens. We are also building a staging area/morgue as well." "I want to commend our EMS, legislative leaders, mayors, city councilmen, county commissioners, and all the utilities who worked for hours on end trying to get everything back up and operational. It was just amazing how quickly everything was fixed."
"When all was said and done the citizens of this county should be proud of their leadership and emergency service that came together and worked through this," commented Jones. "The people should be proud of themselves, helping each other and working together."
"At the time of the twister Macon County didn't have an official E-911 Emergency Operation Center. We received a CDBG Grant and the new E-911 building located next to the Justice Center was completed in 2012 at a cost of $1,000,000 including equipment. This was a 100% grant and we consolidated the 911 dispatch, Sheriff's Office and the ambulance services and it is called 911 Central Dispatch, which all resulted from the tornado disaster."
The E-911 building is equipped with two overhead projectors, three large screen TV's that can be on multiple news channels at a time and they are also connected to computers. "We have a 70 inch touch screen that can have an overlay over it. We are setting up to have video sent to us and during a disaster all department heads will coordinate from the 911 Center. You are never truly prepared for a disaster, but you can make sure you have everything ready.
"Be proud to live in a community where people can come together as quick as they did after the tornado. "I'm proud of the people of Macon County. Mother Nature didn't defeat us, she made us stronger by giving us an insight to what can happen, to be better prepared next time. We can't control her, can't control the weather and unfortunately we have slipped into the tornado belt. We know what she is capable of and now we
have all had a taste of a disaster is all about."
It's been a long road to recovery for Macon County and a lot of time and effort has been put forth and sacrifices made to rebuild our community, along with the three churches that were destroyed. It was amazing how everyone pulled together and if you drive through the areas that were affected six years ago, you will see that the rebuilding process was remarkably and definitely worth the effort as our community has moved toward brighter days.
Aimy Walker, of Tompkinsville, Kentucky, was transported to Tompkinsville Medical Center (TMC) to be treated for a head injury following a single-vehicle wreck on Gamaliel Road last Tuesday, January 28.
According to the accident report, Walker was traveling north on Gamaliel Rd. when she ran off the side of the road, dropped off the shoulder and overcorrected to the left.
Walkers 1994 Jeep Cherokee then traveled off the west side of the roadway and flipped twice before coming to a rest on its top against a tree.
Walker requested to be transported to TMC.
Responding to the scene were the Red Boiling Springs Fire & Rescue Squad and Macon County Sheriff's Department officer Brad Murphy. Danny Fisher of the Tennessee Highway Patrol was the investigating officer.
Walker was not restrained at the time of the accident and charges are pending.
As scams continue to filter across the United States, Detective Jason Roberts, of the Lafayette Police Department, has uncovered more victims after a phone call from a man in Austin, Texas. He wants to warn everybody to beware of anything unusual that immediately sends up a red flag!
Detective Jason Roberts received a call from a man in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday, January 22, telling him that he was one of the many victims of the Target Security Breach. "This thing is huge," said Roberts, "and it seems to be part of a much broader scam."
"The Texas man told me that he had purchases on his credit card bill that he didn't make and that some of the packages came to an address here in Lafayette," the Detective said. "After I listened to his story I decided to go to the location that was listed on his card, along with this female name, that I won't disclose."
Roberts went to the residence inside the Lafayette city limits and the person's name he had was definitely living there. "I spoke to this individual and she did have these packages," he said. "Two were in her car and another one was inside the house. Her story was that she was doing this for a friend."
According to this female, she met this guy on the Christian Mingle web site and they started e-mailing and texting back and forth. She says he told her his name and that he is a 47-year-old American who used to live in Colorado, used to be an airline pilot, but was now working for a mining company in the Ukraine. "She told me that was how the relationship started and began building," the detective said. "She was very vulnerable and he was saying all the right things to her – anything from scriptures in the Bible to how blessed they were to actually meet and a lot of other stuff. She became a victim herself."
The detective says that this man told her that some of his co-workers, who were also miners in the Ukraine, wanted to know if it would be alright if they had some deliveries sent to her house. "She said yes," Roberts continued. "So they sent these packages to her house and she was re-packaging them and condensing them into one big box, to help them with shipping costs. She was suppose to send them, but at the time according to her, she didn't know where. She told me that she just needed some money to send them. Everything she got she still has."
"Later on she called me and said she had just received another package. I told her not to open it and just leave it in the box and I would see if I could return it."
According to Detective Roberts he found out that she had sent this male individual $3,000 by Western Union to an address in the Ukraine. "Because of her vulnerability he got access to her bank account. She sent him money a second time and after that he wiped out her account."
"These people prey on vulnerability," added Roberts, "and if someone comes along and says the right things, things perhaps you have always wanted to hear: Bam! Hook, Line and Sinker!" Roberts at first thought the female subject was the one involved in the crime, but he now realizes that she is an even bigger victim than the guy from Texas who called him.
He explained to the woman what she had gotten herself involved in and what he was doing. "She was still having conversations with this man for me, so I could get the address where the packages were suppose to be sent. But the address I obtained is in the Ukraine. "I have involved the FBI, because it it goes international it is beyond me," explained the Detective. "I expect many more cases like this coming up."
Detective Roberts says that this is a huge warning for people, especially the elderly to watch out for scams. Don't accept any kind of money or check, don't put money on a green dot card. Beware of anything that you have to send." The detective said this is the same concept that recently happened at Cathy's Florist, only this is on a much bigger scale. This money is sent overseas rather than the US because it can't be tracked.
"I want to get this out to everybody, please beware because we are starting to see this a lot more," he said. "They are hitting people on the Internet, and you need to be cautious because they are taking advantage of people on chat lines and facebook.
"God sent this person to me for me to help, said Roberts. "She knows she is being scammed. I told her to just cut off anything involving his name. What she has lost, she probably won't get back. Just don't lose anymore."
The merchandise inside of these boxes included watches, rings, cell phones, clothes, shoes, coats, electric dog collars, and many other items.

Regional, USDA-funded biofuel studies hope to glean data, analysis from each other
MISSOULA — Two groups funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study turning forest waste into biofuels will cross paths this year, as one group winds down its analysis of western Montana and the other gears up to study the northern Rocky Mountain region.

Climate study warns of possible changes to Shoshone Forest

Cold winter not cold enough to kill bark beetles
Frigid as the winter of 2010-2011 has been, it probably has had little effect on the mortality of bark beetles that have transformed more than 2 million acres of Montana forest into rusty-brown kill zones.

One of the world's largest truck makers who 'lost' an Austrian customer's 8,000 Euro deposit when it was pocketed by a crooked salesman was offered truck parts as compensation - for vehicles that hadn't been delivered.
A 62-year-old Austrian Times reader has raised the alarm over a German-based company selling catalogues for forcedly sold real estate that left him with a monthly subscription he says he never wanted.
Brian Harden sent us a mail about an experience he had had with Megadrive Autovermietung GmbH, an Austrian car rental agency.

|I was stopped for speeding after overtaking car on a dual carriageway section of road in lower Austria and the two officers using a mobile radar device demanded that I pay �70. As I didn\'t have any money on me they wanted me to drive to a nearby village to take the money out from the ATM device. It didn\'t seem to me that this sort of summary justice and instant fine was fair and I refused so they took down my details and then let me go on after saying the fine would be in the post. But when the final invoice turned up it was �140 � twice what the original fine was. Is it legal for them to double what they originally said they were going to charge me in this way? I don\'t have any paperwork proving that the original fee was �70 but there were witnesses?
|Daten Info Services Eibl GmbH
|In February 2012, I telephoned Daten Info Service Eibl to order one edition of its \\\"Immobilien Versteigerungskatalog\\\". I was required to give my bank account details. Euro 19.80 was, then, deducted from my account, and I received the catalogue that I had requested. I received no letter of acknowledgement nor a copy of the firm\\\'s business conditions or any request for my agreement to them. In March and April 2012, I, then, received the next two editions of the catalogue, and Euro 19.80 was deducted in favour of Daten Info Service Eibl from my bank account in both months. When I became aware of the deductions, I sent an e-mail to on 23 April 2012 to request cancellation of my so-called subsciption effective immediately. I, then, received a letter from Daten Info Service Eibl, dated 25 April 2012, stating that it would only cancel my so-called subscription as of 11 November 2012. My understanding when ordering the edition in February 2012, was that it was for one edition only. It seems unreasonable that Daten Info Service cannot cancel my so-called subscription with immediate effect, especially when I did not receive any terms of business regarding sales of its catalogue. Any help that you can offer in terminating what amounts to a rent-seeking arrangement would be much appreciated. Since my e-mail to the firm, I have twice telephoned its Customer Service (01/5854353) to discuss the matter, but the representaitve seems to have no decision-making authority and is very difficult to reach. When I last spoke with him, on 2 May 2012, he took my telephone number and said that he would have a colleague from the firm\\\'s bookkeeping department telephone me. I have yet to receive the call bck.

|After renting a car from Megadrive Austria, a small stone chip was found that apparently didnt exist previously. It was very small and may or may not have existed previously. I was charged the full excess amount of �460, regardless of the actual amount of damage (the attendant took the money from the credit card without viewing the photos). I now know what other customers were complaining about when I picked up previous rentals. How can it be legal to charge such a high amount, regardless of the real damage costs? It seems to me this is a scam to make money from tourists.

|On a recent visit to Vienna my daughter and her friends were apparently \"shaken down\" by the police. They are students at Georgetown University studying for the semester at the University College of London. While in Vienna they wanted to ride the subway. They could not figure out how or where to pay. So they simply got on and rode. When they returned they were confronted by two policemen. They explained their situation and offered to pay. They were told that they each must pay 70 euro or go to jail. They explained that they did not have that much money. The officers then told them to turn over all the mopney they had and to leave. I assume that the officers merely kept the money. Not a particulaly nice way to treat visitors. Why not tell the police to represent their City better. By the way, my daughter did tell me that the City is otherwise beautiful.

|During the last four trips I have made to the McDonalds on Hadikgasse they have had either no toys for the children\'s menu or a selection of toy\'s from a previous offering. On the last trip they didn\'t have any at all on offer - and gave me an apple pie instead. It\'s never happened to me in the US or the UK branches of McDonalds.
|Evelyne Ranharter
|I have complaints versus OEBB. Their ticket machines are not clear and in german only so that persons not understanding everything in german cannot use them without making mistakes. A friend therefore took a ticket that was not valid on the day he used it and therefore had to pay a fine of EUR 65. When I asked OEBB, they sent me a standard letter and additional 3.500 spam mails. Now I wrote to some people personally at OEBB but I am being ignored. I don\\\'t think this reflects positively on OEBB. Also, I am just told he had no valid ticket. But he was unaware of this. So I want some understanding, people speaking English, the ticket machines in different languages and the reimbursement of the EUR 65.

|Thw Post office 1173 is closing at the end of September 2011, yet the replacement is miles away and at a bank with even shorter opening hours. Yet, the current Post office is NOT loosing money and there are plenty of vacant shops in the area of Dornback/Neuwaldegg. The area has plenty of residents, who are complaining, including pensioners without a car. Also, the current office has a place to park and yet the new one not, which is also a few yards away from the main Post Office. It looks like a SP� conspiracy so that the American owner of both increases it\'s profits and no consideration for the social issues. A disgrace.
|The small Billa-store in St�ttermayergasse, in Vienna's 15th district is nice and clean � but the employees smoke in a small room right next to the entrance so whenever you enter or leave the store you can take a deep breath of lovely cigarette-smoke.
