President Obama All Of The Above Strategy Fail, Jim Crow Laws Legalized via Supreme Court
President Obama All Of The Above Strategy Fail, Jim Crow Laws Legalized via Supreme Court
Jun 27, 2013
RTNews covers Australia passing a carbon tax that will affect the carbon dioxide emissions industries. Because carbon dioxide is a 'pollutant', those energy industries that pollute the environment should pay for the damage that this pollution and other pollutants cause. At the same time, those industries like the renewable energy industry that operate without producing pollution, (or much less) deserve to be rewarded for this. This is the true definition of the 'free market' system.
Polluters should pay, while those who do not pollute should be rewarded. This basic concept is what is driving the carbon tax, and costs associated with regulations governing sulfur, mercury and radiation pollutants. Eventually, the high cost of polluting the environment and being forced to PAY FOR IT, will drive sustainable and green solutions into the marketplace and into widespread use, with no further actions taken.
Even without carbon taxes or pollution regulation costs, solar, wind, water, hydrogen and other zero carbon solutions are getting cheaper and cheaper, while carbon fuels are becoming more and more expensive overall as well as globally.
The carbon tax and regulation of carbon can be done on a local community level, a state level and a national as well as international level. Since the easiest place to get something like this in place is locally, that is where most of the focus of community activists should be. Internationally, a carbon tax is a long shot, because this is where international corporations reign and control the mass media, the politicians, and the organizations associated with them.
RELEASE: Obama's climate proposals fall dangerously short, ignore time-critical opportunity to revive the economy
Wednesday, June 26, 2013 ~
Jill Stein, President, Green Shadow Cabinet
The Green Shadow Cabinet said today that while President Obama's call for the Environental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen regulation of carbon emissions from existing power plants was a long overdue step in the right direction, his âall of the aboveâ approach to energy is still a disaster for the climate.
Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party's 2012 presidential nominees noted, "You can't give your child an 'all of the above diet' with toxic lead and arsenic, and think that adding some spinach and blueberries is going to make it OK. Likewise, reducing carbon pollution from coal does not make fracking, tar sands oil, deep water and Arctic drilling OK.
The climate is spiraling into runaway warming. Obama's promotion of cheap dirty fossil fuels makes coal regulations just window dressing on a disastrous policy."
In addition to its broad concerns on fossil fuel use, the Cabinet strongly opposes the Obama administration's continued push to revitalize the expensive, dangerous, nuclear power industry. The massive subsidies required by the nuclear industry siphon away funds needed to expand renewable energy.
Nuclear power still has lethal, unsolvable, long term waste-storage problems. In addition, the White House's proposed plants could not be built in time to have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
President Obama's proposals fall far short of an urgently-needed Green New Deal to revive the American economy with clean, renewable energy. The Green New Deal would create 25 million jobs, particularly jobs that transition us to a carbon-free economy.
It would be paid for through cuts to the military budget, elimination of the $40 billion in subsidies for fossil fuels and nukes, a Wall Street transaction tax yielding $100s of billions in revenue per year, and requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share.
As an example, a recent Stanford University report showed how NY could convert to 100% renewable energy by 2030 in a program that would create jobs and pay for the costs of conversion with health care savings alone.
("Examining the Feasibility of Converting New York State's All-Purpose Energy Infrastructure to One Using Wind, Water and Sunlight", co-authored by Stanford University Professor Mark Jacobson,)
The Cabinet also pointed to Germanyâs energy transformation, (Energiewende), that shifts from nuclear and fossil fuels to renewables. Thanks in large part to its Green Party, Germany will cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 40% relative to 1990 levels by 2020. By comparison, the goals set by President Obama translate to only a 4% cut in emissions - about one-tenth of the German commitment.
The Cabinet also calls for a feed-in tariff program that Germany has used to create a vibrant renewable energy sector â benefitting small businesses, homeowners, farmers and communities - by insuring profitable rates for renewable power. This has helped fuel Germanyâs vigorous economy, and put renewable energy technology on track to be the major employment sector in the nation within the decade.
To help put us on a similar path, the Green Shadow Cabinet calls for Congress to impose fees on the use of carbon. In addition, the federal government should also use its immense purchasing power to drive the development of clean renewable energy, conservation and efficiency.
EPA should accelerate and increase fuel efficiency standards. Under the Clean Air Act, it should phase out the use of HFCs and replace them with alternatives that protect the ozone layer without contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Clean Water Act, it should set standards for acid pollution in water to reduce the negative impact carbon dioxide has on coral, plankton, shell fish and other marine animals.
It should approve the petition by the Center for Biological Diversity to revise water quality criteria in light of new scientific information about ocean acidification, adopting a criterion for pH stating: âFor marine waters, pH should not deviate measurably from naturally occurring pH levels as a result of absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide.â
The Cabinet challenged Obama's escalating development of extreme fossil fuels that has been the major focus of âall of the aboveâ - mountain top removal of coal, fracked oil and gas, deep water and Arctic drilling, and tar sands oil. The world already has five times as much oil, coal and gas available as climate scientists say the atmosphere can tolerate if global temperature rise is to stay below the internationally accepted limit of two degrees Celsius.
So rather than drill for more fossil fuels, we must keep 80 percent of those reserves locked away safely underground to avoid a climate disaster. In order to achieve this, and protect the climate for everyone rather than corporate profits for a few, we need to consider making energy a democratically-controlled public utility, with a mission to take us from fossil fuels to renewables at least cost.
Steve Breyman, EPA Adminstrator for the Green Shadow Cabinet, noted that, "Obama's 'all of the above' energy strategy is unrealistic and cowardly. It's overly expensive and unscientific. It ignores climate change and generates waste that remains dangerous for a thousand generations. Rather than face up to even a single powerful industry--nuclear, coal, oil, or gas--the President punted.
Actually, he went golfing with fossil fuel company executives. We end up having to fight the Keystone XL pipeline, with the likelihood that the President will ultimately approve it, paving the way to full exploitation of the Canadian tar sands, a development called 'game over' for the climate by James Hansen."
Breyman added that, "International leadership, a major theme of the President's speech, is only possible when national policy is at the leading edge. Unfortunately, Obama has yet to match the carbon reduction policies we see in other countries, including China, the world's other global warming superpower.
The U.S. has been both the major contributor to climate change and the major denier of the need for action at both the domestic and international level. Enacting policies proposed by the Green Shadow Cabinet would put America in a good position to lead internationally.â
Stein concluded her comments by stating that, âThe fact that 80% of climate warming has occurred since 1980 shows how this crisis is accelerating. We now have unprecedented storms, permanent drought ("megadrought") in the American southwest, and just witnessed three major forest fires in California and Colorado in springtime that would normally happen only after a long hot dry summer. In short, we don't have time for false assurance while climate catastrophe continues to escalate.â
âThe American people understand that real progress on climate is urgently needed, and support this in poll after poll. The obstacle to progress is the American political establishment - bought and paid for by fossil fuel companies and closely allied Wall Street interests.â Obama himself was the third largest recipient of campaign donations from the oil and gas industry in the last election cycle, receiving more than $800,000.
"The question of the hour is not how to persuade the American people to do the right thing on climate. It's how to force our hijacked political establishment to act in our interests - for the climate, and for our economy. Congress and the President continue to throw us under the bus on both counts, inflicting austerity on everyday people - cutting Medicare, social security, schools, etc. - while they squander trillions on wars, Wall Street bailouts and tax giveaways for the wealthy," said Stein.
âWe cannot wait to reclaim our childrenâs future â and our future. We must act now. If Obama wonât lead, the people will find a way to provide that leadership. Itâs not the Presidentâs legacy thatâs at stake. Itâs ours.â
Respond to Supreme Court with push for new voting rights laws, amendments
June 25, 2013 ~
Robert Fitrakis, Chair, Federal Elections Commission
By and 5-4 vote today, June 25, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court has sanctioned the return of apartheid in nine states in our union that have a long legacy of blocking black and Latino voters.
The Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that required nine states, all but one former Confederate states, to seek pre-clearance from the U.S. Justice Department prior to changing election laws. The states are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
Blatant racist attacks on the U.S. electorate have been the deliberate strategy of the Republican Party, in particular, since its theft of the 2000 presidential election in Florida.
In 2000, the Republican Party overtly embraced old-fashioned Jim Crow tactics, targeting former felons as a pretext for stripping 90,000 poor and minority voters from the voting rolls. A majority of the illegally purged voters were African American.
In 2004, the Republicans shifted these deliberate racist tactics to the pivotal battleground state of Ohio. More than 300,000 voters were eliminated from registration rolls in heavily Democratic urban areas such as Toledo and Cincinnati. In the city of Cleveland 24.93% of all voters in the 2000 presidential election vanished from the voting rolls.
Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, Ohioâs first black elected official, deployed a wide range of deceptive methods aimed at disenfranchising poor and minority voters. Also, urban areas were short-changed on voting machines and denied paper backup ballots. Tens of thousands of minority voters were forced to use the âback of the busâ provisional ballots, which often went uncounted or were discarded.
So successful were these new Jim Crow tactics in Ohio, the Republicans purged another 1.2 million in the 2008 election in the Buckeye State. They repeated this in 2012, purging 1.25 million more voters.
Also in 2012, led by Georgia and Indiana, GOP-controlled legislatures began passing laws demanding state-issued photo ID cards for all voters. New York Universityâs Brennan Center estimated that such laws would disenfranchise more than 10 million voters. It is precisely this type of law that will go into effect in Texas as a result of this June 25 Supreme Court decision.
Poor, minority and elderly voters who do not drive, often do not have a photo ID. Moreover, forcing people who do not need a driverâs license or state-issued photo ID card should constitute an illegal poll tax.
The Supreme Court ruling removes the last remnants of protection for poor and minority voters and will openly invite new and creative ways to repress the most vulnerable people in our society.
What the Supreme Court should have done is expand the principles of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into the emerging Jim Crow states of Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
What the Green Shadow Cabinet proposes goes far beyond a voting rights act. A new federal voting rights law, followed by a constitutional voting rights amendment must be passed guaranteeing all U.S. citizens the right to vote. In the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr., ultimately we will be judged as a democracy by what we do to protect and defend the most vulnerable of our sisters and brothers.
Robert Fitrakis
serves as chair of the Federal Election Commission in the Democracy Branch of the Green Shadow Cabinet of the United States.
For website:
Green Shadow Cabinet of the United States of America
Bottom line, the control of politics and government by too big to fail corporations who get taxpayer funded corporate welfare, while not paying any taxes, moving millions of jobs overseas, and destroying all chance at democracy with Jim Crow laws, plus tossing all environmental regulations is going to result in a catastrophic lesson for the USA at some point. Non sustainable policies will result in painful lessons, borne mainly by the poor and middle class, but also to some extent the rich.

The Dreadnought is a nice looking Carrier and right now there's plenty of hype around it.
If you're looking to buy one via the exchange the best bit of advice that I can offer you is to save and wait till it has been around for a month or so and its price on the Exchange drops a bit more.
I've been waiting to grab a Dreadnought myself and I've noticed that in the last few days its asking price on the Exchange has dropped about 20 Million EC.
The Dreadnought price was going anywhere between 110 - 95 million EC a few days ago but if you check the Exchange now its ranging from 90 - 78 Million.
Give it some time and see where the price goes.
I was able to buy my Recluse for 50 Million EC and an Orb Weaver (wanted the console) for 25 Million EC a couple of months back so sometimes it's good to play the waiting game.

To discuss some of my scientific mishaps, I felt like a good way was to create a series of blogs. These are mostly from some of my more random adventures in scientific enlightenment but I feel they are fun.
Part 1 - The Solar Eclipses
On May 20th, 2012 there was a solar eclipse. It was toted as one of the best chances in my lifetime to view a solar eclipse. According to the map below I wasn't in the ideal of locations (in Salt Lake City) but I was in a good location to at least get a partial eclipse.
The problem was that we didn't have any equipment for viewing a solar eclipse. I didn't have the glasses (the store was all sold out) and we couldn't afford anything more specialized for the camera. We also happened to wait until the last minute so that didn't help matters either. This meant I had to make something or go without witnessing it.
I ended up trying to make a "Pinhole projector" but I didn't have the time or materials to do it properly. What I came up with was my "Aluminum foil board".
My homemade eclipse tools |
Aluminum foil projection board |
We had a problem though. For the majority of the solar eclipse we had cloud cover. In an environment where we have little to no precipitation for the entire year (SLC gets ~15 in/yr), we ended up having cloud cover the one time I need it to be sunny.
View of the "Solar Eclipse" through the clouds |
My wife though had the idea to head on down to the park anyway and see if we can see anything (we don't have a good view of the setting sun from our house but the park down the street has some amazing views). So we walk on down (~20 minute walk) at around 7pm. Peak time was around 7:30pm, with the eclipse ending at 8:30pm. The sun started to peek out around the clouds at 7:30. The problem was that the clouds still interfered with my system so I couldn't tell if it was working until the sun was fully out. When it finally came out I was able to project an image on the board by adjusting the distance between the projection surface and the pinhole. Unfortunately, though, the pinhole seemed to be too small for anything worthwhile to be visible on the projection. So taking a key I widened the hole into a now "no-longer pinhole" projection system.
Zoom up of "pinhole" |
My wife pointing out the eclipse to my daughter. |
One of the problems with this event, you will notice, is that there are very few pictures taken. The reasons for that:
No Photos Reason 1 - We forgot our DSLR camera at the house after we went for the walk to the park. There was not enough time to go back and get it before sunset/the end of the solar eclipse.
No Photos Reason 2 - My iPod Touch was our backup. It was not charged sufficiently and died immediately after the second photo. Pictures of the equipment were taken at a later date. The only photos taken at the eclipse was of the cloudy day and my wife and child looking at the board.
After the iPod died we were actually loaned disposable glasses from a family sitting near us so at least we were able to see the eclipse, if not document it.
So now we come to why this was a failure of science on my part.
1. I should have started prepping for this way ahead of time. Purchased glasses or something. A camera lens designed for an eclipse would have been awesome but probably cost prohibitive.
2. Cameras need to be brought and charged and backed up. Make sure you have them. It is hard to take pictures without cameras.
3. When making you own equipment. Follow the directions. This is the problem of the fuzzy projection. I believe if there was a tube involved to direct the projection it would have worked better. But I'm not 100% certain. Maybe next time.
4. Improvisation with the equipment most likely won't make things better. Although my pinhole started to work after I "fixed" it, it may have just been my imagination the whole time.

Hey Internet Folks, So I've built a wicking bed and am noticing that on the far end the plants are tiny and pale. I believe this to be due to the lack of pipes carrying water up (on that end). Do the plants on the right of the image look like they are suffering from too little water? The box has a fill pipe (hidden by the healthy plants) on the left and a drain on the right to prevent overflow (hidden from view). All the best |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like it. And perhaps there is too much sun on the left side as well. Perhaps a rearrangement in a deeper container would provide for everything. |
or mineral defeciencies. IIf it's short in sunlight i would expect the plants to be more leggy as they try to reach out for where there is more sun. This shows stunted plants with light green coloured foliage. Over watering can leached out essential nutrients so is this perhaps a circulation issue? Maybe the reservoir water should contain good minerals like the mix used for hydrophonics growing systems... |

Line-up /Billy Dalessandro (live), Noah Pred, Talal & Zoi, Redxdown (live)
Continuing our global pursuit of fresh sounds with total disregard for national boundaries, the latest EP on Thoughtless comes from emerging Mexico City talent, Haze. The EP features remixes from local protege Zaid Edghaim, San Francisco's Auralism founder Jason Short, and Chicago acid house maestro Billy Dalessandro – whose original, 'Zoe', was included in the latest edition of Thoughtless Times.
For the past decade, Dalessandro has been amalgamating the classic Chicago sound with its European counterparts. His fluid grooves and complex harmonic structures have found homes on labels both foreign and domestic, including Siteholder Records (of which he is a co-owner), Force Inc., Forcetracks, Resopal, Alphahouse and many others. Billy's stellar reputation as a live performer has led him to play at such world renowned clubs as Lux (Lisbon), Panorama Bar (Berlin), D-Edge (Sao Paolo), Harry Klein (Munich), Sugar Factory (Amsterdam), Weekend (Berlin), Nitsa (Barcelona), The Egg (London), Stucture (Stockholm), Avalon (L.A.) and The End Up (San Francisco). Celebrating the release, Billy Dalessandro will perform his first ever live set in Toronto for Get Thoughtless.
Opening the night is captivating performer and Thoughtless producer Redxdown, whose unique sound – featuring live guitar and vocals – falls somewhere between Loco Dice and U2. Rounding out the bill are Talal & Zoi, a Toronto DJ and production duo making waves worldwide with releases on Dirtybird, Thoughtless, BEEF and beyond. Finally, label boss Noah Pred is set to close out on the decks. -

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
We run a small home office business and have had a series of HP Laserjet printers over many years (3P, 4+, 2420d). The 2055DN was purchased as a replacement for the HP 2420d. Print volumes vary but are currently less than 5,000 sheets / month. The rational for purchasing the printer was speed, price and ready availability of supplies (toner cartridges). We have a small mixed network (XP, Vista & MAC OS X) and have had no issues with connectivity. The printer is quick to warm up and is quite fast. Reviews I read prior to purchase commented on the printer being noisier than prior models, which I would agree but we do not find it so objectionable that it would influence our decision if we had to make it again. The HP 2055DN does have difficulty printing on even mildly textured paper and envelopes; the toner flakes off. Paper handling has been fine (various weights) but the print flaking off or spotting other parts of documents has been very disappointing. The textures to which I am referring (cross hatch etc) is that commonly found on business stationary not the heavier texture found on wedding invitations.

2s of stun > not having droar
its so far from worth it on jinrohk its not even funny |
but wut about all the lightning damageeeee Healers. Also Avatar is significantly worse than Bloodbath. |
but wut about all the lightning damageeeee Elusive brew, guard, shield barrier, PW:S, etc. The swing has to do damage to set off static wound. If you avoid or fully abosrb it doesnt go off. Its like a 2s stun. Run away from jinrohk and and do back to back barriers (You can fit a block too if done right). Even if you just sat there its like 2 hits tops before the stun is over, Oh no the healers have something to do. |

But Leon, the ubiquitous author and standup comedian known as The Infiltrator, who has written for the likes of Salon.com, Details and SF Weekly and has appeared on NPR's This American Life and The Howard Stern Show, can't hide anymore behind glued-on facial hair and his stable of alarmingly enthused characters. His disguise has been removed! His bare face is exposed! There he is, on the cover of his new book, Republican Like Me: Infiltrating Red-State, White-Ass and Blue-Suit America, standing naked on a sidewalk with a grimace on his face and the good ol' U.S. of A. flag unfurled before his mid-section. And that's not the only public stripping that Leon will undertake. He'll discuss and sign his new reader at the Tattered Cover on Tuesday, November 8 (and again in Boulder on November 10 and 12), fully unmasked for the masses, he promises, sans beard, camouflage or aviator glasses. Or will he?
It's hard to know what to expect from a guy who once arrived at a pro-life rally in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic wearing an elaborate outfit consisting of tiny baby dolls taped to his shirt, with one of them floating in a jar that had the words "Stop Now!" scrawled on the outside. He writes all of his accounts in the first person, but unlike journalists or anthropologists who strive to maintain a distance from their subjects, Leon considers his infiltrations as more of a performance, "to attempt to become one of them and understand what they're all about," he explains.
"There's a different level when you're a reporter and you have that professional interaction with someone. But you get a completely different response when they think you're some sort of wacked-out peer," he laughs. "And you seem to get more genuine reactions from them. You get inside their mindset a bit more."
Leon's exhibitionism began at the widely beloved (but currently deceased) satirical publication Might Magazine, founded by literary superhero Dave Eggers. It was here that he took his first challenge: Get hired and fired from a Jack in the Box restaurant within three hours, then write about the experience. He continued the technique for his first book, The Harmon Chronicles, in 2002.
"I just think there's plenty of absurdity in the real world," Leon says. "My point is just to point out the ridiculousness of people who take themselves too seriously." But in his new work, it's clear he has bigger fish to fry: "With the political climate of today, it's ripe for this type of satire. They say that comedy is the weak taking on the powerful, and right now in this country, the powerful are the Republican, conservative, red-state-type people." For Leon, this means going undercover to attend a recruitment meeting for a white-supremacist group -- at an Applebee's. Or taking a job as a night security guard at a Denny's in Oakland by posing as an incompetent wannabe kickboxer. There are also plenty of Christians, ex-gays, gun-rights fanatics and some Vincent Gallo thrown in for good measure. In other words, there's a little something for everyone. Or is there?

- Sounds like one of those great software experiments where the fun is in doing it, but there is not a huge end benefit in it! Perhaps for the tabs, but for a phone?
Anyway, having said that, I am a sucker for these things, heat added :) - I suppose the question is, why....
I mean is there anything that's available on Ubuntu that's not already available on Android?
Sure you can run Ubuntu ontop of Android, but the performance sucks badly - Sounds nice to mess around with.
However, can you still use your phone and is it better than Android??? - Sounds fun...........
Correct me if i'm wrong, isn't Android a Linux based operating system anyway?? :P - cHooBeyDooSounds fun...........
Correct me if i'm wrong, isn't Android a Linux based operating system anyway?? :P
Linux based yes, but not the same thing.. Is it for you? Dunno, give it a try & see. - ohdearohdearCold as it needs rooting.
Same here, but I guess it's good for those who want Ubuntu on their device(s).
cHooBeyDooSounds fun...........
Correct me if i'm wrong, isn't Android a Linux based operating system anyway?? :P
Yes - Sounds completely and utterly pointless. Voted hot (_;)
- "Now hold on a minute before we go much further

Wait, I don't need that chocolate covered confectionary after all — I've just remembered I've got my ubuntu phone just here, hang on a sec…

# if this connection needs the cell phone pseudo-device
if [ "x$modemport" == "x$tag" ]
# if the cell phone is connected
if usb_data=($(/sbin/lsusb | grep "Motorola PCS"))
# convert bus,dev to ttyUSB device ID
# get the current USB port from its name in the /sys path
usb_port=$(ls /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev${bus}.${dev}/device/*:1.0 | grep ttyUSB)
# create cellphone symlink
ln -nsf /dev/$usb_port $tag
fi - A simple overview:
This wont replace your android install
You basically have a folder on your memory card with your linux distro on it
You can then "run" ubuntu
However you need to VNC (an app streams the desktop like a video I guess - but from the same device)
Worth noting, you could do this with debian etc - and this app is largely a guide about how to do these things.
Hope that makes this clearer for anyone who was a bit unsure. - I have a rooted Desire S and as tempting as this is I'm going to stick with Virtuous ROM. I just don't see the need for it when Android is so far forward now. Still a hot deal however, so heat added. :)
- At times like this I wish I had an android tablet. :(
- Djv789At times like this I wish I had an android tablet. :(

Home, forever
Adopted teen settles in with her new family
More than a dozen family members will gather at Lisa Brooks' Henrico County home this Christmas.
Her mom and dad from New Jersey will be there. Some of the children that she raised as a foster mother during the past 20 years will be there. Her biological daughters, Ashley, 25, and Taylor, 14, will be there. And her three-year-old grandson, Tyler, also will be at the two-story home off Parham Road, along with Brooks' newest daughter, Alexis. Brooks adopted Alexis, 17, last year after she became her foster mother through KidsPeace, an agency that serves children with special needs. It wasn't long before Alexis made it her "forever home." Brooks, who works for Verizon, was surprised to learn that she was eligible to adopt even though she was single. As soon as she learned the news, she talked with Alexis about becoming her mom. "I sat down with Alexis and asked her, 'Would you like for me to adopt you? Do you want to change your name to my name?'" Alexis recalls how it felt to become part of the Brooks family. "I was really excited because it's been awhile since I've been with a family. I felt welcome. When I found out I was going to be adopted that made things a thousand times better." 'Family tree' Since being adopted, Brooks said Alexis has made tremendous progress. She gets good grades, has an after-school job and recently earned her driver's license. Alexis said she loves being part of the Brooks family and this time of the year is extra special. The house is filled with decorations. Stockings hang near the railing leading upstairs. A tree decked out in burgundy and gold fills a corner of the living room. This year, the children decorated the tree by themselves. "It was kind of hectic because no one knew where everything was supposed to go. This was the first year we got to do it by ourselves. It turned out better than what we expected," Alexis said. The ornaments adorning the tree are unique. "Each ornament has [a name] on it to show that we belong," Alexis said. "It's basically a family tree." On Christmas morning, Brooks will cook a huge breakfast. The kids will insist on opening presents before they sit down to eat. The rest of the day will be spent munching on treats, playing games, doing skits and just hanging out with the family. Brooks will have time to savor all that comes with having an open home and an open heart. "I had a two-parent home. I had a beautiful childhood and I just want to give back. I love children. My doors are always open." Other children need forever homes James is 14. His mother and father have passed away in the last year. He is one of at least six children in Henrico County who are still hoping to find homes for Christmas and beyond. Hundreds of children in Virginia are waiting for adoptive families. While the county finds homes each year for about 12 children, finding homes for teens like James can be difficult. "We have a shortage of available families to adopt our teenagers," Shawn Rozier, assistant director of Henrico County Social Services wrote in an email. "Teenagers still want a forever family and they still need the love and care [of a] family."

State Police Seek Help to Reduce Crushing Caseload
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - State police have asked lawmakers for more money to reduce a backlog at Indiana's crime laboratories, but even if they receive the cash, authorities may need years to clear the cases awaiting analysis.
The backlog consists of 5,287 cases at crime labs where law-enforcement agencies statewide send evidence to be tested. Police describe the situation as a crisis, but the logjam is nothing new.
As long ago as 1995, work held up in crime labs was causing delays in trials. In 1997, the Indiana State Police stopped accepting new cases for DNA testing for several months as the pile of unfinished cases grew. They also switched to a different kind of DNA testing.
For a time, new DNA technology allowed the labs to catch up, but demand continued to outstrip resources, and DNA testing is again almost at a one-year backlog.
State police have crime labs in Evansville, Fort Wayne, Lowell and Indianapolis. All but Fort Wayne conduct DNA tests, and all perform other tests, including firearms and bullet examinations, fingerprinting, drug analysis and document exams.
Vincennes Police Detective Mark Dupire said DNA testing, when DNA is available, is critical for a successful prosecution.
"It's obviously something that you cannot not do, because if you don't, then the defense will kill you," Dupire told The Indianapolis Star for a story published Sunday.
State police say the swamped labs frustrate them, too.
"We're a victim of our own success," State Police Superintendent Melvin Carraway said.
Law-enforcement agencies around the state saw the power of scientific evidence and "rushed the barn door" to ask for help from state police labs, Carraway said.
A measure was introduced in the General Assembly this year to raise $8 million a year for the labs with a new $15 fine added to those already paid for such things as speeding and other traffic tickets.
The bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee but died in the Senate Finance Committee. Carraway and Gov. Frank O'Bannon, who supported the measure, promised to continue looking for ways to get the proposal through the Legislature this year.
The new fee would fund a second shift at the crime labs, essentially doubling the current staffing of 57 scientists and technicians.
Maj. Robert Conley, commander of the state police's laboratory division, noted that some level of backlog is to be expected and can be managed.
Prosecutors are also concerned.
"I think it's desperate," said Steve Johnson, executive director of the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council. "There are probably some cases coming in now that they'll never test before trial. "They're almost close to declaring a moratorium."

Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports, and health, agriculture, animal protection and environmental groups nationwide have asked Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to veto a bill that would require a disclaimer on dairy products made by cows not treated with artificial growth hormones.
"We feel that HB 2121 puts unnecessary obstacles in the way of consumers getting the information they want, restricts free speech rights of dairies and processors, and interferes with the smooth functioning of free markets," said Michael Hansen, a senior scientist for Consumers Union.
The legislation, approved last week, would require products that state they were not produced from cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone, or rbGH, to have a disclaimer label.
The disclaimer must say: "The Food and Drug Administration has determined there are no significant differences between milk from cows that receive injections of the artificial hormone and milk from those that do not."
Supporters of the bill say it is unfair for companies to imply there is a positive health effect from milk produced by cows not treated with artificial hormones.
But Heather Whitehead, True Food Network director at the Center for Food Safety, said the proposed legislation could deny Kansans the opportunity to make informed decisions about what they purchase.
"Kansas is taking a step in the wrong direction, as more than half of the 100 largest dairy processors in the country have gone partially or completely rbGH-free to satisfy consumer demand," she said.
