Even in the age of AIDS, avian flu and Ebola, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, better known as MRSA, is terrifying.The superbug, which is resistant to conventional antibiotics because of their overuse, shrugs at even the deadliest weapons modern medicine offers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated MRSA contributed to the deaths of more than 5,000 people in the United States in 2013. It even attacked the NFL, and some say it could eventually kill more people than cancer. And presidential commissions have advised that technological progress is the only way to fight MRSA.Read full article >>

Brush fires burn in Montgomery County for 2 straight daysNewsChannel 8 Il y a 1 heure
LAYTONSVILLE, Md. (WJLA) -- Dry and windy conditions have led to spreading brush fires in Montgomery County for two straight days. On Tuesday afternoon, a large Brush fire in the Laytonsville area had consumed up to 50 acres. While firefighters said no structures were damaged, the fire was not contained. The firefighting activity closed Damascus Road (MD 650) in both directions between Laytonsville Road (MD 108) and Hipsley Mill Road, police said. On Monday, fire crews used ground crews and water tankers to put out a brush fire that burned along Game Preserve Road in Gaithersburg. There was no immediate word as to what ignited either brush fire.
Woman leads police on dramatic chase in Fairfax CountyNewsChannel 8
FAIRFAX, Va.

The vehicle fled and Fairfax County officers along with Virginia State Police. Police said they managed to finally stop the fleeing vehicle on the Fairfax County Parkway over interstate 95; the driver was taken into custody and taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. Police identified her as 36-year-old Lakisha Tracy and said she had outstanding warrants from Arlington County. Two Fairfax County officers and one Virginia State trooper also suffered minor injuries in the pursuit, authorities said. While initial reports suggested the chase may have been tied to an armed prisoner escape from a Fairfax hospital earlier Tuesday, police later emphasized that the two events were completely unrelated.

Victims remembered on 5th anniversary of D.C. shooting rampageTom Roussey
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Five years to the night after one of D.C.'s worst mass shootings, family, friends, and others remembered the victims and vowed to keep fighting for change. It was March 30, 2010 when four teenagers were killed in one night. It was the culmination of an eight-day outbreak of violence that left five young people dead and eight others wounded by gunfire. On Monday night at Faith Presbyterian Church on South Capitol Street—which is only one block from where three of the victims were killed—a panel on guns and violence was held. Afterward, those in attendance held candles as they walked to the corner of South Capitol and Brandywine streets, where three victims died after the crowd they were in was fired into. Several in the crowd had just attended the funeral of Jordan Howe, the first of the five total victims. "It's hard to live without my daughter," said Nardyne Jefferies, mother of 16-year-old victim Brishell Jones. "A part of me feels like the five years has [gone] really quickly, and another part of me feels like it's an eternity." The outbreak of violence started over a lost bracelet. Six people have been sentenced to anywhere from decades to life in prison for taking part in the shootings.
Uber driver fired after giving woman horrific ride in D.C.Brianne Carter
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – A taxi driver who contracted with Uber is out of a job after he allegedly gave a woman a frightening, wild ride over the weekend. According to the police report, the woman used Uber to get a D.C. taxi home around 11:30 p.m. Saturday. The report says that during the ride, she told the driver he was going the wrong way. He then reportedly became enraged and began yelling "Woman, shut up! You don't know what I'll do with you! You don't know what I'm going to do to you!" The woman called 911 and the driver allegedly sped up. While driving along Military Road, he reportedly made a turn onto a side road in a wooded area and told her she could get out. The police report says she declined and the driver began to speed up, then intentionally slow down, jerking the car. The terrifying trek ended in an Exxon parking lot off of Connecticut Avenue. The woman told police the driver locked the doors and began driving in circles. After she reportedly asked to get out three times, the driver finally unlocked the doors. "It's absolutely horrifying and it's the scenario that, I think, all of our mothers warned us about when we were younger—that you're getting in a car with stranger," said D.C. resident Nayyera Haq. "I use a taxi or Uber at least three or four times a week." "I think with Uber, at the very least, you get a picture and their name and you know who's coming to pick you up. If you're hailing a cab it's just as random," said a D.C. resident named Pete. Due to the Uber app's technology, authorities believe they know who was behind the wheel. The D.C. Taxicab Commission is aware of the complaint and is investigating alongside authorities. Uber confirmed to ABC7 that the driver has been deactivated from its service.

Person of interest in disappearance of pregnant Va. woman charged with attempted murder of new girlfriend in N.C.Stephen Tschida
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – The girlfriend of a person of interest in the case of a missing pregnant Virginia woman says he told her things that could implicate him in the four-year-old disappearance. In 2011, Bethany Decker disappeared from her Ashburn, Va. apartment. Investigators combed the area near Decker's residence, but the 21-year-old was never found. The young mother and wife of a soldier in Afghanistan was five months pregnant when she vanished. There was no activity on her credit cards or bank accounts. Decker and her husband were having problems; while he was overseas, she became involved with Ronald Roldan. A waiter at the time, Roldan became a person of interest in Decker's disappearance, but he was never charged. He has since moved to North Carolina. In November 2014, at the home he shared with his new girlfriend in Pinehurst, N.C., Roldan allegedly went into a rage and viciously beat the woman. She says when she grabbed a gun to defend herself, Roldan took it and shot her in the eye. He is jailed and charged with attempted murder. The alleged victim told the Daily Mail that during one of many violent arguments, Roldan told her he could "make people disappear." Loudoun County Sheriff's Office detectives have interviewed Roldan in North Carolina, where he is awaiting trial. He remains a person of interest in Decker's disappearance.
Teens attack Spotsylvania Co. deputy during arrestDiane Cho
SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. (WJLA) – Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) investigators say a 14-year-old is now facing felony charges after allegedly attacking a deputy at a high school. SCSO Captain Jeff Pearce says it all started as a basketball tournament was wrapping up at Spotsylvania High School. He says an administrator caught four teens breaking into the school's cafeteria and confronted them around 3 p.m. Saturday. Initially, two deputies arrived and, as the 14-year-old was being arrested, he says the juvenile started punching a deputy. "He was punched several times pretty hard," said Capt. Pearce. "That deputy and his partner were in a lot of physical danger as the crowd was swelling around them and attempting to free their classmate, so to speak. There were between 15 and 18 people that were there." Pearce says 18-year-old Ronald Stevens was later arrested for obstruction of justice for allegedly trying to help one of the teens. "They were trying to help the kids and get them out, except for Mr. Stevens, who was actually going towards the officer in an aggressive manner and had to be threatened away with the use of a Taser," said Capt. Pearce. Pearce says the 14-year-old and two 17-year-olds are now facing several felony charges, including assault by mob. He says the teens are from Prince William County.

D.C. mom admits to torturing son with cerebral palsy
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- A southeast D.C. mother admitted in court Monday that she tortured her 9-year-old son who has cerebral palsy. Betty Threatt, 27, wiped away tears as she pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court to aggravated assault on a child, first-degree cruelty to children while armed and first-degree cruelty to children. Prosecutors said that Threatt and her ex-boyfriend, 52-year-old Lester Jackson, kept the boy out of school and "beat him, locked him in a room and had bound his arms and legs with duct tape." Police who investigated the case said Threatt told them she kept the boy locked up because she was ashamed of him. Threatt, who pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors, will be sentenced in June. Jackson, who rejected a plea deal, is slated to go on trial in July.
California woman brutally beaten with skateboard in attack caught on cameraCNN
LOS ANGELES (CNN) - A California woman has a cracked skull and a broken jaw after a group of men attacked her near a skate park. Cell phone video shows one man beating her with a skateboard, and another kicking and punching her after she fell to the ground. The young woman is seen fighting off her attackers before one of them slammed her in the head with a skateboard. She fell to the ground and begins to wail. Witnesses said they felt too scared and outnumbered to help. One man held the woman up while another rushed in to punch her. The attacker continued to kick and punch her while she was on the ground. A friend of the woman who shot the cell phone video and gave it to police said it stated about 9 p.m. Sunday at the Venice Beach Skate park after the victim got into a verbal fight with several men. The young woman walked away, but the men followed her and that's when police said the incident turned violent. Police said that two other men were injured in the brawl, but but the woman took the worst beating and required surgery for a cracked skull and a broken jaw. Police have no motive for the attack and no arrests have been made.

D.C.'s West End Cinema closes after 5 yearsRebecca Cooper, ABC 7 News
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - The West End Cinema in D.C.officially closed its doors after five years on Sunday. The small independent cinema opened in 2010, and is closing based on increased competition from bigger megaplexes, and people opting to stay home to watch movies. The West End Cinema was considered a treasure to members of the community based on the convenience it provided for movie fans that didn't want to travel far to enjoy a movie and good popcorn. "Getting out to small theaters, it has a quality to it that getting out to larger theaters doesn't provide. There's just something about the closeness and having the owner chat with you and recognize your face," said Peter Young, a D.C. resident. West End Cinema owner Josh Levin put things into perspective by remembering the run his theater had. "We've had five great years here," said Levin. "We're choosing to look at it as a celebration of the five years, rather than the fact that we're closing - which we are sad about."

After seeing the poll on this site questioning the public as to whether the Hamilton County Commissioners should continue receiving "their $100,000" to spend/waste as they so desire, I am going on record and am asking each and every one of them to comment on the results of the poll and express their opinion on keeping "their $100,000" in the future.
Since they all voted to give a TIF to the "Resort Style Living" community of Black Creek at the expense of everyone in the county, rich or poor, it should be interesting to see who responds and what they say about "their $100,000" that the rich and poor provide for whatever the commissioners desire.
Joe Blevins
* * *
I am 77 years old and I can remember when politicians used tax money to help insure their re-election. This was usually hid from the taxpayer and voter. Nowadays it is public knowledge.
In the days past it was referred to as a "slush fund." with most given to "ward healers" who controlled the votes in their wards. The result and intent was the same as today - taking our tax money to grease the skids for votes by giving "our tax money" so they can look good to the voters.
I have no problem with their generosity for special causes, but they should use their personal money, such as their county pay, instead of our tax dollars.
Remember we will have three things - death, hell and politics.
* * *
Remember that all those 100,000 dollars (nine of them) are considered part of what is necessary to run the county government each year and, as such, figure in our property evaluations to justify our tax assessments. What is more, the city government accepts those assessments as a base for determining our city taxes after deducting a small percentage as its share of educational expenses since the county, by law, is responsible for funding education throughout the county. To this the city adds our "artificially mandated" stormwater fee that has just doubled for residential properties in our current budget if I read correctly.
Is there anyone out there who has a clue about where that $11.4 million is that the city has squirreled away from its collection of taxes from the sale of liquor-by-the drink that was promised to the county over the past six years for education?
Let's hand it to the county. They learned last week after six years that that $11.4 million is missing from its educational budgets. But hey, the city pulled a slam dunk by charging that the owners of the Delta Queen has failed to pay $11,000 in taxes for the past few years to park on the riverfront. Well, now, my question is how did the city miss stumbling over that $11.4 million as it searched for and reportedly found that $11,000 deficit?
Is anyone clear about the backdoor negotiations between the city and county leadership to arrive at a congenial solution to salve the wounds and cover the sin of probable violation of the Sunshine Law in which the city relinquished the Poss Homes and a few hundred thousand of the city taxpayers' dollars? Where did that come from? Was anyone out there informed about this before it was done? Those were the city taxpayers' assets.
Total consolidation is necessary to clean up our local governments to provide accountability in assessing, appropriating, allocating, justifying, and assuring quality controls in use of taxpayers' money. We taxpayers need to come together and demand a study, audit and assessment by non-partisan, knowledgeable and certified professionals and report to us on how much that would cost us. These common "problems" have been there for a long time and were inherited by new leaderships through the years. We know they exist so the only way to deal with the situation is clean it up.

Their $100,000 is a slap in the face of the everyday hard working Hamilton County employees. They (commissioners) get to decide what pet project they would like to give their money to yet they refuse to give their employees a pay increase, cut their health care coverage and are talking about taking away about the only thing left, longevity pay. Oh, and then there is the budget slashing measures and the alleged lack of money to vote in the 25 year retirement for law enforcement which has been on the state books for over seven years but yet they somehow refuse to even put it to a vote.
They all voted to give TIF money, or they put the money wherever for whatever other pet project they decide on but in the end it never goes for anything that truly benefits the people. There is not a single commissioner that should be voted back into office. It's about time the citizens of Hamilton County stand up against the good ole boy system and root them out. If nothing else the employees of Hamilton County should band together along with all their family and friends to vote against all of them.

Ms. Parton,
Yes actions of the Chattanooga city government past and present leaves much to be desired. However, I do take exception to your posture on a combined government (metro-government). Anyone who remembers the "dump Chattanooga city schools" fiasco of a few years back will remember the huge hidden liabilities the city dumped on county residents. I don't clearly recall specific details but in general one of those hidden liabilities the city dumped on the county residents was responsibility for underfunded city school employee retirement benefits.
For years Chattanooga has also built up liabilities for police and firefighter retirements, city worker retirement and who knows what other underfunded or legal liabilities that would fall on the shoulders of the county residents under a metro government. Combined governments will only transfer liabilities for which the county residents had no say so or responsibility.
There is no equitable way for a combined government in Hamilton County. The Chattanooga city government has accumulated liabilities that will remain in place for decades – liabilities that continue to grow daily........liabilities we the county residents do not want. We moved to the county for a reason.

This week wasn't the the Stig's first outing with the ST1. He once mysteriously arrived in the desert with a herd of camels to have a go in the no-nonsense Nordic supercar. But getting the the 6.8-litre, 1,104bhp, 233mph four-wheeled Stig look-alike back to the track in Blighty has taken a while.

More pics of our tame racing driver's time with the great Dane
But after a few mechanical issues, and quite a large fire, this week was the self-immolating supercar's time to shine.
Unfortunately, no one told Mother Nature about our plans, as she tried her hardest to make sure it wasn't easy for the Stig.
What Mother Nature didn't know, is that our man in the white suit doesn't know what weather is. Even so, as you can see from the pics, keeping a twin-charged, rear-wheel-drive, 1000+ horsepower on the straight and narrow is a little tricky. And if you've watched the show, you'll know that this was reflected in its time...

2948.9 - repairs almost complete
Even if we were to assume that the ion storm took place in the same system as Starbase 11, interpreting this as a repair status chart would mean that
it took the original repair crew only 1.6 digits to do 83% of the necessary repairs, but with the "help" of the extra crew
it took them the same amount of time (1.6 digits) just to get the "final" repairs / 13% done!
Maybe that's why Stone is no longer in command of a starship.
And what was Spock doing all these days (?) with the computer logs? His arrival in Stone's office clearly shows he's late and was expected. This has all the elements of a ship that has just arrived, but not one that's already harbored at Starbase 11 for a couple of days.

Kansas City Royals (11-11) at Baltimore Orioles (11-11), 7:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Kansas City - Jeremy Guthrie (2-1, 4.68) Baltimore - Wei-Yin Chen (3-1, 4.91)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Ex-Oriole Jeremy Guthrie makes the start for Kansas City on Saturday night when the Royals visit Baltimore in the second game of a three-game series at Camden Yards.
Guthrie made 153 starts and appeared in relief eight times for the Orioles between 2007 and 2011, but faced his former team twice last season and won both starts while toting a stingy 1.50 earned run average.
He's reached the sixth inning in three of four starts this season, but has surrendered four runs three times, too.
A 4-3 loss at Cleveland was the result on Monday after he'd given up 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings.
"The two (two-run) homers are what did the damage," manager Ned Yost said. "Outside of that, I thought he threw the ball well."
Lefty Wei-Yin Chen takes the ball for the Orioles for the fifth time and aims for a fourth straight victory.
The Taiwan-born 28-year-old has allowed eight runs in 16 1/3 innings in his last three outings, emerging most recently with a 7-6 defeat of Boston on Monday at Fenway Park.
He's started four times in his career against Kansas City and is 0-1 with a 5.18 ERA.
Most recently, he allowed three runs in 7 1/3 innings of the Orioles' 4-3 loss to the Royals last July.
On Friday, Yordano Ventura hurled eight scoreless innings to lead the Royals to a 5-0 win in the series opener.
Ventura (2-1) scattered seven hits and two walks while fanning eight to earn the win. He's allowed just five runs over four starts this season to lower his ERA to 1.80.
Billy Butler had two hits and two RBI while Alex Gordon, Omar Infante and Nori Aoki provided one RBI apiece for the Royals, who had dropped four of five.
Ubaldo Jimenez (0-4) allowed all four runs on six hits and four walks over six-plus innings to remain winless on the season.
Orioles first baseman Chris Davis left the game between the fourth and fifth innings with a left oblique strain. The slugger grimaced following a swing in the third inning. He was 0-for-2 with a strikeout.
Baltimore finished 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left nine runners on base.
The Royals won four of seven versus the Orioles a season ago.
