News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The era of Chris Thomas in Augusta is drawing to a close.
After five years of reporting and anchoring at News 12, Chris announced his last day of work will be next Wednesday during his weekly radio segment, "The Inside Story," on 96.3 Kiss FM.
This week's radio segment was filled with calls and visits from everyone from viewers to interview subjects.
"I cannot say enough good things about this young man," said Estelle Parsley, News 12's VP of News and Operations. "I was doing the math this morning -- I think I have known you one-fifth of your life."
One viewer who called in even begged Chris to stay.
"Oh my gosh, Chris, I can't believe you're leaving us. Please don't go. Stay, Chris. Stay!" she cried.
Mayor Deke Copenhaver told Chris he will be missed.
"You have added a lot to the city, so I will tell you ... I just wish the best for you," he said.
Even City Administrator Fred Russell, who has had many a heated interview with Chris, came in to speak on the show.
"We greatly appreciate what you did and what you are going to do in the future," Russell said. "You are going to tell them how you got the job. Tell them how you really got the job."
This comes even after the infamous "Don't go there at all, Chris!" interview (see video).
"In all honesty, Chris, you've done a good job here, and you've got a tough job," Russell said.
While Chris is leaving Augusta to head to NBC 12 (seems like News 12 will follow him wherever he goes!) in Richmond, Va., don't think it will be easy to replace him.
"We do have a nationwide search," Parsley said. "We have identified some finalists. So we tell them all, 'You've got some big shoes to fill.'"
We at News 12 will miss you, Chris!

Stories on Google News homepage
Our News headlines are selected entirely by computer algorithms, based on factors like how often and where a story appears online. Google News has no human editors selecting stories or deciding which ones deserve top placement. This is very much in the tradition of Google Web Search, which relies on the collective judgment of online publishers to determine which sites offer the most valuable and relevant information. Similarly, Google News relies on the collective judgment of online news organizations to determine which stories are most deserving of prominence on the News homepage.
The standard Google News page consists of the Top Stories and eight standard sections: World, Nation, Business, Sci/Tech, Sports, Entertainment, Health and Most Popular. These sections are available in all regional editions of Google News. The Top Stories section takes into account the prevalence of certain stories throughout all sites, while the Most Popular section on the Google News page shows you the most popular stories in the Google News edition you're viewing (e.g., U.S.).
Our grouping technology takes into account many factors, such as titles, text, and publication time. We then use various clustering algorithms to identify stories we think are closely related. These stories displayed on Google News present news articles, videos, images and other information.

STOCKTON - Members of a U.S. marshals fugitive task force were conducting a surveillance operation in southwest Stockton on Wednesday when they spotted a man who was wanted on suspicion of murder.
Authorities moved in, arresting 20-year-old Michael Vega.
Vega is accused of killing Jorge Angulo, 18, who was shot to death while sitting in a pickup in the 1500 block of South Stanislaus Street shortly before midnight Nov. 12, 2011, authorities said.
A friend drove Angulo to San Joaquin General Hospital after the shooting, but he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. Authorities found a loaded handgun in the vehicle Angulo was sitting in when he was shot in the back, and there may have been a mutual exchange of gunfire, police said.
U.S. marshals saw Vega getting out of a vehicle in the 600 block of Garfield Avenue at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said. They called in members of the Stockton Police Department's Community Response Team and the multiagency San Joaquin County gang task force to assist in the arrest.
"This is just a furtherance of our collaborative effort working with U.S. marshals and the countywide gang task force in targeting the most violent offenders here in the city of Stockton," said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department. "When you can take a murder suspect off the street, ultimately, that's going to make our community feel safer."
Vega was booked into San Joaquin County Jail about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. He is being held without bail. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance at 1:30 p.m. today.

Brought to you by and the .Vail official report: 6" new snow in last 24 hoursVail Daily field report: Nothing new this morningWeather: Partly cloudy, a crisp chill in the airLiftline status: Still nothing at Chair 6Run of the day: Anything on Golden PeakBreakdown: Vail reported 6 inches in the last 24 hours, 2 overnight, but we're fearing that measurement fell victim to the measuring man's bane, the meniscus. As snow tends to be more attracted to the weather stick than the other snow particles, they'll tend to gather around that stick while the true measurement is less. Also, the wind could have played a factor, as this happened once last season too where the wind blew a bunch of snow into the measuring stick. Some snow fell after yesterday's 5 a.m. reading, but not 6 inches. Snowcast: It did snow some yesterday, and it could continue more over the next few days, say forecasters.

We will have em for sure.
It's looking like the band will be ready to play a couple songs for these shows, and I'm excited to give it all a try. In particular I'm very curious about Fete, which is rumored to have an amazing sound system.

Dave Booth & I planned to be at Sunday's Providence show, but that was just derailed due to a work schedule change, which is a major bummer. He played the Juan Deuce & Falside album for me, & I'm definitely impressed; it's as solid & engaging as their live show.
If anyone can go to this, they should!

Went with my homegirl Caroline (who got an on stage shout out from Uncle Sage!) to the show in Quincy last night. Decent venue and crowd, though it seemed a little off somehow. One of the opening acts made a joke about "gay ravers" and "all drummers have AIDS," which is off-putting. Didn't stop me from getting right up front for a surprise set from Prolyphic (cool to see that wedding band wrapped around a a mic, bud. congrats!) and Juan Deuce and Falside, who were super energetic and had some really choice beats.
I've never seen B Dolan get upstaged but when a super star like Norm from Cheers is out with his daughter for her 21st birthday, what else is B gonna do but get him onstage with Sage for "Too Bad?" I had a really good time getting hype and yelling almost all the words right up front, but I could not keep up with Kaylie (Kylie?) who knew EVERY word to EVERY song, including the new joint about ODB, which was fucking outstanding. She was posted up front at the stage for every set all night, I had so much admiration and respect for her.
Also cool to see Lacezilla from this forum, who I think I hadn't seen since I lived in Providence some years ago. Said hey to B and Sage briefly but I think maybe they didn't recognize me with facial hair. Glad to see SFR still doing the damn thing, really wish I could come see METERMAIDS tonight in PVD, maybe i'll try to make it down there anyway...

Weird! I absolutely did NOT recognize you. I'm sorry about that, man. I'm usually really great with face recognition even if I can't remember names. That must be a helluva beard, homie. haha. Anyway, sorry I didn't recognize you. Would've been cool to catch up on some things.
That Quincy show was pretty bizarre. If I knew that the promoter was going to tack 6 or 7 acts onto the bill, I wouldn't have arrived at 8pm. FUCK's SAKE. Whatever the case, playing that spot was a total experiment that Mr. Dolan was willing to entertain. I don't reckon you'll see us return there any time soon. haha.
By the time B hit the stage, I was so worn out. It won't be like that tonight. And, if we can all agree to speak with promoters about this ahead of time, it won't ever happen again.

As Andy Williams once sang, "It's the most wonderful time of the year"! Sure, he was talking about a different holiday, but I think you'll all agree with me that the statement is just as fitting for Halloween! It's a time to get spooky, a time to get scary. A time to transform yourself into a wholly different character that resembles nothing of your true self and be somebody else for a night!
And who doesn't love that?

Professional-looking results are easy. Just use our template, and visit a baking supply shop for meringue powder, paste food coloring, and lollipop sticks.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Knead the cookie dough and flour together until smooth. Roll out the dough to a scant 1/4-inch thickness.
Print the Pirate Cookie Template and cut out the shape. Place it over the dough and cut out shapes with a sharp paring knife. Transfer the dough shapes to a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Insert a lollipop stick halfway into a cookie. (If you'll be inserting the cookie pops into cupcakes, cut off about 1 inch of each stick.) Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 14 minutes. Continue cutting out shapes with the remaining dough and sticks.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, beat the confectioner's sugar, meringue powder, and water together in a large bowl. Beat on medium speed until well blended and thick. Divide the frosting into separate bowls, keeping the frosting covered to prevent drying out. Tint to desired colors with the paste food coloring. Use a tiny dab of paste and add more to get the desired color.
Spoon half of the colored frosting into separate resealable plastic bags. Thin the remaining frosting with a small amount of water and place these into resealable bags. Using the Pirate Cookie Template as a guide, pipe the thicker frosting as outlines and fill in with the thinned frosting. Allow each color to dry before piping a new color. Allow the cookie pops to dry completely, about 4 hours.

The research efforts of the Virology Laboratory (VL) focus on understanding the cellular and molecular regulation of viral gene expression, HIV replication, entry into the cell, development of improved HIV envelope immunogens, optimization of immune responses to gene-based vaccination, and correlates of immune protection, with the goal of developing rationally designed vaccines against HIV, influenza, Ebola/Marburg, and other emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Various elements of vaccine design and delivery, including optimization of vector and protein design, adjuvants, dosing, and methods and routes of delivery, are studied. Other areas of research address mechanisms of viral gene regulation, assembly of viruses, viral cell interactions, and insight into the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression.
The VL is developing active and passive approaches for HIV vaccine development. For active approaches, the VRC continues to focus on critical issues in HIV-1 immunogen and vaccine design. The VRC has increased its major efforts on isolating broadly neutralizing mAbs, identifying and characterizing the structures of vulnerable viral epitopes, and designing immunogens to elicit potent, broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1. In the realm of passive immunity, parallel efforts are underway to understand the ability of broadly neutralizing antibodies to confer passive protection by direct administration or via gene-based antibody expression. Building upon its work with VRC01, the VL has isolated multiple anti-CD4 binding site antibodies and resolved the structural identity of several HIV-1 epitopes. This structural biology work continues to drive the VRC's approach of targeted design of active vaccine immunogens. Research on the role of cellular immunity in active immunization, its influence on humoral immunity, and the ability of CD8 cells to prevent infection is also ongoing.
The VRC is strongly emphasizing the development of novel influenza vaccines, with particular emphasis on developing a "universal" flu vaccine. The influenza research group has expanded its efforts to develop gene-based prime-boost immunization against influenza viruses and develop new vaccine strategies to induce broadly neutralizing, cross protective antibodies against influenza virus. Development of new vaccine candidates and new vector systems for antigen delivery, viral vector construction and development, structure-based protein immunogen design, and evaluation of vaccine candidates for their effectiveness in inducing potent and broad immune responses in different animal models and in human clinical trials are all important aspects of the goals of the influenza research group.
Dr. Mascola serves as director of the VRC, chief of the Virology Laboratory, and chief of the Humoral Immunology Section. He also holds concurrent appointments as adjunct professor of medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and as a consulting physician in the division of infectious diseases at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Dr. Mascola joined the VRC in October 2000 as deputy director. His research focuses on HIV humoral immune responses and vaccine design. Prior to joining the VRC, Dr. Mascola served as head of HIV prevention research in the division of retrovirology at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
After graduating magna cum laude from Tufts University and earning his medical degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine, Dr. Mascola completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in infectious diseases at the National Naval Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in retroviral diseases at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Dr. Mascola is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), a member of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and has been elected to the American Society of Clinical Investigation (ASCI) and the Association of American Physicians (AAP).

Eerie scenes of a city on lockdown. Streets choked off by police barricades. Blackhawk helicopters swooping through the sky. A raging uncle spewing venom about his nephews.
These were disturbing images that millions of Americans woke up to on Friday as television delivered wall-to-wall coverage of the massive manhunt for the Boston Marathon bomber.
Friday's network morning shows, normally teeming with fun and frivolity, were forced to shift gears and follow a chilling, complex story.
The search, we learned, came on the heels of a violent night in which a second suspect died in a firefight with police, and one officer was killed "in cold blood" and another was seriously wounded.
Through it all, TV journalists in studio and on the ground tried to piece together a profile of the suspect, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, a native of southern Russia, near war-torn Chechnya, who allegedly planned the bombings with his brother. Family members and former classmates were sought out, along with anyone who might have had contact with them.
In this desperate attempt to glean even the most trivial piece of information, some of the testimony was helpful and some wasn't. Did the brothers love America? Maybe. Maybe not. They apparently were "quiet" and "normal," but what does that mean? At one point, a local boxer was even called upon for his input because he once sparred with one of the brothers.
"I ended up roughing him up and we never sparred again," he told ABC News.
OK, that was helpful.
The most extraordinary bit of morning footage was an impromptu, street-side interview with the brothers' uncle, Rusian Tsarni, who, in an agitated state, expressed concerns that the alleged actions of his nephews would reflect on his homeland, his family and his religion.
Tsarni described them as "losers" who were never "able to settle themselves," and called for the suspect to surrender.
Meanwhile, ABC seemed to score an exclusive when the suspect's father spoke several times -- off camera -- to a network reporter. Apparently, the FBI had yet to make contact with the man, raising the question: Had the media done a better job of finding him?
Out on the streets, it looked like ominous scenes from a crime thriller we'd see on television or at the cineplex. But fictional drama, unlike real life, provides the viewer with swift resolution. As the coverage dragged on past 11 a.m. (PST), the suspect was still at large and networks filled time with repetitive interviews and time lines and even more replays of Monday's awful images.
It's during lulls like these when speculation runs rampant and things get dicey. At one point, CNN's Wolf Blitzer said, "Apparently a lot of explosives are in the area," without citing a source. There was also unsubstantiated talk of possible other accomplices on the loose in the area.
Through it all, it was difficult not to think about those fearful residents, locked in their homes, and trying their best to glean information from television and social media.
All we could do, insisted ABC's Diane Sawyer, is "hurry up and wait."

Patio DecorationsThe point of creating a patio when you are camping is to create a personalized space that offers extra room. No matter how large your RV might be, it is nice to be able to spend time outside without having to be in the sun. Once you place an awning on your RV, you are ready to create a customized patio space.
Start with a rug or mat that is designed for use out of doors. Then add some lights; something both functional and whimsical. With a shepherds hook, you can add a wind chime or weather vane. Add a little statue, a table, and some chairs, and you have a room that can be used whenever weather permits. You patio will be a reflection of your taste and style.

New trooper
Big change for Marietta post commander
January 4, 2013
It is a new year and an exciting new set of challenges for Lt. Carlos Smith, the new post commander at the Marietta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patro....
A relative of mine Had a crash, at night, on Benedict Rd. in Washington County a couple of years ago. The OSHP trooper, that responded to the call, had to travel from Macksburg to near Fleming, which took a while. He explained that he was the only trooper on duty in ALL OF Washington County that night. Think about I-77, US Rt. 50, State Rts. 60, 550, 7, 26, 555 and 339 PLUS all the county roads and having ONLY ONE TROOPER ON DUTY to cover that much mileage.

Donnabug....Their job isn't to help us get gas or change a flat tire....their job is to ensure our safety on the highway which includes them calling for assistance and staying with us until help can arrive. Everyone is so quick to judge when someone doesn't do for us what we think they should.

Clinical Trials
Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find effective treatments for cancer patients and potentially improve their quality of life. Since 1992, RMC has participated in numerous regional and national clinical trials to give patients the most up-to-date treatment option.
About 10 percent of RMC's cancer patients are involved in a study. Patients have voluntarily enrolled in studies on cancers including lung, colon, esophageal, lymphoma, breast and ovarian, with many reporting successful outcomes.
RMC participates in trials with the Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville and the South Western Oncology Group. RMC oncologists select the most applicable studies for patient enrollment. Once approved by the Institutional Review Board, an independent group of doctors, technicians, community advocates and others, the study can enroll patients.
Since most patients are seen in oncologist's offices within a community, another component to clinical trial participation is bringing the research to the patients. On the doctor-patient side of the equation, the need is clear to get new cancer drugs and therapies out of the lab and into practice.
To date, studies have shown that there is a benefit to patients even if the therapy is unsuccessful. According to clinical organizations, patients tend to do better and live longer. However, there are both benefits and risks to patients.
Benefits and Risks
Benefits to participation in a well-designed and implemented clinical trial include:
- Patients play an active role in their own health care.
- Access to new research treatments before they are widely available.
- Receive expert medical care at leading health care facilities during the trial.
- Help others by contributing to medical research.
Risks to clinical trials include:
- There may be unpleasant, serious or even life-threatening side effects to experimental treatment
- The experimental treatment may not be effective
- The protocol may require more of their time and attention than would a non-protocol treatment, including trips to the study site, more treatments, hospital stays or complex dosage requirements.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Database
Data site retirement
On 6/30/16 the Broad's Institute Batrachochytrium database and web site will be retired due to expiration of funding. For many years we have been pleased to work closely with the fungal research community to create and support this resource. All data for this project is available in NCBI and other databases. Please make plans to transition your analysis to other resources prior to 6/30/16.
Batrachochytrium is a pathogen of amphibians implicated as a primary causative agent of amphibian declines. This recently emerging pathogen was identified in 1998 as the cause of amphibian deaths in Australia and Central America. More recently, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been implicated in population declines of frog species in North America, South America, Europe and Africa. This fungus invades the top layers of skin cells and causes thickening of the keratinized layer. As a representative of the Chytridiomycota (chytrids), the sequence of B. dendrobatidis is the first in this largely uncharacterized phylum of fungi.
Project Information
The Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis sequencing project is part of the Broad Institute Fungal Genome Initiative. Its goal is to release an annotated assembly from 10X genome sequence coverage for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis diploid strain JEL423, which was provided by Dr. Joyce Longcore at The University of Maine. This strain was isolated from a sick Phyllomedusa lemur frog in Panama. Genomic DNA from this strain was prepared by Tim James at Duke University.
Our specific aims are as follows:
- Generate 10X coverage of the B. dendrobatidis genome through whole genome shotgun sequencing and generate a high quality genome assembly.
- Perform automated annotation of the sequence assembly.
- Distribute the sequence assembly and results of our annotation and analysis through a freely accessible, public web server at the Broad and by deposition of the sequence assembly in GenBank.
Data Releases
We produced whole genome shotgun sequence from two plasmid libraries (4kb and 10kb inserts) and a Fosmid library. The resulting 7.4X assembly was made public in September of 2006, and the results of automated genome annotation will be made public in future 2006 releases. Questions about the project should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis?
Batrachochytriumis a pathogen of amphibians implicated as a primary causative agent of amphibian declines (1,2). This recently emerging pathogen was identified in 1998 as the cause of amphibian deaths in Australia and Central America (3). More recently, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been implicated in population declines of frog species in North America, South America, Europe and Africa. This fungus invades the top layers of skin cells and causes thickening of the keratinized layer (3,4). Because amphibians drink and breathe through their skin, the fungus may kill them by disrupting these mechanisms. Alternatively, the fungus may be secreting a toxin.
As a representative of the Chytridiomycota (chytrids), the sequence of B. dendrobatidis is the first in this largely uncharacterized phylum of fungi. Batrachochytrium is a non-filamentous (monocentric) chytrid firmly within the order Rhizophydiales, based on ultrastructural characteristics and molecular sequence data; the Rhizophydiales is a new order recently segregated from the polyphyletic Chytridiales (5).
As members of both aquatic and terrestrial microbial communities, chytrids are parasites and saprobes of many microscopic organisms (e.g. pollen, algae, and invertebrates) and play an important ecological role in the degradation of recalcitrant materials, such as chitin, keratin, and cellulose. Chytrids are unique among the true fungi in possessing zoospores, which move using flagella (6). Phylogenetic studies based on rDNA and on whole mitochondrial genome sequences indicate that the chytrids are basal in the fungal clade (3,7). This basal position increases the value of a whole genome sequence for comparative genomics within the fungal clade and also with the sister animal clade.

The political firmament shook briefly post-November 7 raising hopes change would follow the Republican's drubbing at the polls and the Democrats regaining control of both houses of Congress for the first time since the GOP sweep in 1994. Presumed new House speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped the tremors making it clear no substantive change will be on the table when when the 110th Congress convenes on January 3. Instead, she announced to those paying attention it'll be business as usual (as it always is) as she intends to work with the president in a spirit of bipartisanship and not be "obstructionist" even though Republicans for past 12 years never returned that courtesy or even made a pretense of doing it.
Pelosi made it clear the Democrat victory will be just another betrayal of the electorate that sent her and the Democrats a strong message it voted for a mandated populist anti-Bush, anti-war agenda it won't get. It's always for the same reason - because those controlling the political process in Washington owe their allegiance to the interests of wealth and power that select and fund them and of which these officials are a part. The Democrat (anti-populist) Leadership Council (DLC) made that position clear when it participated in a November 10 post-election made-for-television spectacle in the Oval Office so the whole world could watch their new congressional leadership line up in a shameless public display of partnering with a criminal enterprise in the White House posing as a legitimate government they've been complicit with all along. Should anyone understanding how things work in Washington have expected anything else?
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Politics 101, Washington-style teaches that nothing can be taken on its face, campaign promises are empty and disingenuous, and in the nation's Capitol the criminal class is bipartisan. Pelosi, whose background is one of privilege and not populism, and her leadership collaborators plan on business as usual come January. They intend taking full advantage of their newly empowered status to grab a bigger piece of the political pie without sharing any of it with their constituents beyond a few crumbs that exclude the most important things people voted for - ending the Iraq and Afghan wars of aggression and bringing US forces home, impeaching Bush and Cheney, addressing critically needed social services like health care and public education Republican and DLC Democrat rule have ignored and allowed to deteriorate, restoring our civil liberties, finding and prosecuting everyone involved in the cesspool of rampant endemic corporate and government corruption both parties allowed to go on and that only a few have had to answer for - and that's just for starters.
What about restoring constitutional democracy and the rule of law complete with checks and balances, the separation of powers and our elected officials held accountable to the public for all their actions and made to face the music when they betray the public trust. What about ending the privatization of the most fundamental element of a democratic process and returning control of it to the people - the electoral process (now corporate run and corrupted) that can only be fair under a system of verifiable paper ballots counted by hand by civil servants unconnected to either party or the corporatocracy that funds and owns them. What about allowing real alternative party candidates the right to run under a system of proportional representation and break the monopoly of a corrupted two-party, winner take all system. What about that and a lot more that a real democracy demands, and the sham one we now have won't allow.
Post-election, we're light years from any of that which was confirmed when the other newly empowered Democrats were also quick to show their shameless deference publicly. They, too, had their Oval Office moment, genuflected obediently for the cameras while there, and pledged their fealty to an unindicted war criminal who's done more harm to the core principles of the country and the welfare of everyone around the world (other than the elitists like themselves) than any former president since Richard Nixon who was forced from office in disgrace. Expect little chance of that for George Bush if the Democrats' disgraceful display of servility indicates what's ahead, which it does unless people wake up and demand the accountability everyone deserves.
New Senate majority whip Richard Durbin showed the public what it's up against. He expressed the victor's spirit of conciliation and complicity saying both sides spoke of "moving forward on an agenda, finding things that we can agree on to start off on the right foot." Incoming Senate majority leader Harry Reid was even clearer than the Illinois senator saying "The only way to move forward is with bipartisanship and openness, and to get some results....and that's what we're going to do." And the man the Wall Street Journal calls "the architect of the Democrats' Senate win," New York Senator and Senator to Tel Aviv Charles Schumer, said in a November 11 Journal interview "If we are seen as just blocking the president, it will not serve us well in 2008."
With acts of this kind of obeisance, any hope the 110th congress will address the key issues people voted for and demand faded like a late autumn sunset. For one thing, Nancy Pelosi said any notion of following through on what a growing majority of the public wants is off the table - impeaching George Bush (87% of participants in an MSNBC online poll still in progress said "yes" to impeachment). Pre-election, incoming House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers said that would be a priority for him, but on November 10 he reneged saying "The incoming speaker has said that impeachment is off the table. I am in total agreement with her on this issue: Impeachment is off the table."
The public needs to remind Mr. Conyers how he laid out the grounds for impeachment last December in a detailed 350 page report titled "The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution and Cover-Ups in the Iraq War" and later updated it to include "illegal domestic surveillance." Now the Michigan Democrat, just reelected to a 22nd term by his constituents, can do no better than say "To be sure, I have substantial concerns about the way this administration has abused its authority, but impeachment would not be good for the American people." Is he saying war crimes, crimes against humanity and the destruction of a democratic republic gone unpunished are good for the people?
In the past, Conyers had a record of being one of the few in Washington remembering who elected him and supporting their interests. What is this man now thinking in backing off on a crucially important issue with mass public support, and why after over 40 years in the Congress is he willing to renege on his word on a fundamental matter needing resolution before the country can move on? Mr. Conyers has the power to end our "long national nightmare" that will go on unless he does the job the public demands of him - and if he won't, he needs to step aside and let someone else do it.
Just last May in a Washington Post op-ed piece, the Michigan congressman had a different view than now saying a new Congress needs to get answers about whether the "intelligence was mistaken or manipulated in the run-up to the Iraq war (and if) high-ranking (administration) officials approved the use of torture and other cruel and inhumane treatment inflicted upon detainees." If evidence was found, he indicated these would be potentially impeachable offenses and left no doubt he believes the constitutional law of the land is sacred, and if the president of the United States violated it he must be forced to answer for it like anyone else.
He did violate it, and there's plenty of evidence found to prove it. So why did John Conyers decide not to follow through on the evidence he found as he promised to do. The public needs to remind the congressman of the oath he took and the word he gave and demand he reverse his statement and chalk it up to a case of temporary bad judgment. He'll be forgiven if he does, but damned if not. It now remains to be seen if he's man enough to see his error, say he's ready to do the job he said he would, and be willing to fulfill the public trust with the power entrusted in him.
Conyers has all the evidence he needs in The Downing Street (Memo) Minutes mentioned above and in the title of his report. It refers to the secret 2002 Washington meeting of high level US and British officials when the intelligence claiming justification for the 2003 Iraq war was cooked to fit the policy already decided on by the Bush administration and is clearly stated in so many words. It was smoking gun evidence the president and his close advisors lied to the public to make their fraudulent case for the Iraq war. It had nothing to do with the falsified justification given for it, and that alone is grounds enough for initiating impeachment proceedings.
One of the war-planning co-conspirators practically admitted his guilt when Paul Wolfowitz, then Deputy Secretary of Defense under Donald Rumsfeld and now World Bank president, later gave an interview in Singapore and was asked publicly how it was he and others in Washington decided on WMDs as the reason to go to war. He answered "it was the only thing we all could agree on."
The new Democrat leadership apparently didn't hear him or bother to read the Downing Street Memo. It also fails to grasp that if Bill Clinton could be nonsensically impeached for lying in a sworn deposition about his sexual proclivities, the present incumbent deserves at least as much for going to war based on lies and murdering 655,000 or more Iraqis and counting plus the many thousands of Americans killed, wounded and to be affected by the war for the rest of their lives along with their families. He and his spurned Republican allies also need to be held to account for six years of wanton abuses of the public trust in all aspects of their agenda from hell still ongoing and unaddressed.
The list is endless and includes waging two illegal wars of naked aggression to supporting and funding the two illegal ones Israel waged over the summer with one still raging below the radar that's murdering defenseless Palestinians daily and that no one is acting to stop. It includes waging war on the public at home, dismantling or ending essentially needed social services, endangering the economy by a policy of reckless spending, destroying our civil liberties and seizing absolute state control through a power-grab coup d'etat the Democrats supported by their votes in the Congress or silence when they could have acted to thwart it with strong public support backing them.
On November 7, the public expressed a powerful sentiment of anger and disgust against a rogue criminal administration, demanding accountability from those they voted for and big change going forward. They won out in spite of already uncovered massive Republican- manipulated voter fraud (again) that was unable to contain the torrent of resentment too great to overcome. In drubbing the Republican congress that Tuesday, voters sent a message they want a new direction that reverses all the harm done by the current one. So far, it hasn't gotten through and unless repeated on the streets, through the mail, in town meetings, on the phone, in emails and all the other ways voters reach their officials, it'll again be ignored by the Democrat leadership, who, like their counterparts, never get it until they awaken the day after and realize they just lost their jobs.
The DLC is already actively collaborating behind the scenes to continue the conflict in Iraq by signing on to whatever altered tactical plan the Baker Commission proposes and is soon to release. Should we have expected anything else from a party that marched shamelessly in lockstep with a Republican administration beginning with Al Gore's pathetic refusal to fight for the office he won in 2000, choosing instead to surrender it meekly to George Bush's Supreme Court appointment as did John Kerry four years later in his show of insouciance in an election even more fraud-laden than the one in 2000. It hardly matters under a system author and political critic Gore Vidal calls our one party state ruled by the Property Party with two wings in a plutocracy, with scarcely a dime's worth of difference between them.
The public is slow reacting and is still hypnotized and basking in the deceptive afterglow of post-election hoopla to realize they've been had again. Instead of celebrating victory unconsummated, what's needed is follow-through to press the demands that will remain unaddressed waiting around for a new bunch of politicos to act on them. Nothing will change in Washington until people understand that bringing in a new set of bums replacing the old ones only guarantees more of the same unless they press their advantage in a very visible and vocal way beyond the voting booth.
Otherwise, the only change guaranteed ahead is none at all, and all they'll have to look forward to is the next electoral round in 2008 when the same charade of a democratic process is repeated on the false pretense it will matter more then than it does now. You'd have thought after 12 years in the political wilderness, enough newly inspired Democrats and some of its leaders would have been as aroused as were the revolutionary Republicans with their Contract with America in 1994 that helped them sweep the mid-term elections that year with a promise to "bring to the floor the (ten) bills, each to be given a full and open debate....and fair vote....and be available for public inspection." They delivered as promised, but it was a scam calling for government reform Clinton DLC Democrats went along with and voters fell for not realizing the GOP agenda meant tax cuts for the rich and corporate giants, a dismantling of tort and welfare protection, and cuts in social programs and bedrock social security protection mostly affecting those most in need of them.
So where do we stand now that the celebratory dust has settled and the cold light of another day has dawned. Washington is still enveloped in a Kafkaesque shroud of hellish strangulation combining illegal foreign wars with domestic repression and neglect along with a guarantee nothing substantive will change beyond a few feel-good bits of tinkering around the edges to fool the public again a new agenda arrived and all is well in the world. The reality is all is hell in the world, and the DLC Democrats intend to continue conspiring with a criminal administration to keep it that way - at least as long as people allow them to get away with it.
Hope springs eternal and eventually there may be a public awakening that the same criminal element is in charge, little has changed nor will it without action outside the voting booth, the illegal Iraq and Afghanistan killing machines go on without end as do the appropriations for them about to get another obscene supplemental off-the-books $160 billion wasted-on-war tranche of funding diverting desperately needed revenue away from critically neglected social programs Democrats allowed Republicans to slash and burn and now aren't even considering for restoration.
The specter of Patriot Act I and the covertly proposed and stealth piecemeal enacted Patriot II (total police state takeover) Act remain in force as do the just passed Military Commissions Act and revision of the Insurrection Act that makes everyone including US citizens an "enemy combatant" unprotected by habeas or due process and allows the president the right to send "jackboots" to the streets to enforce whatever he says is the law and against anyone he claims without evidence is a threat to national security - aka a terrorist.
That combined with a president claiming the dictatorial right of a "unitary executive" allowing himself, on his self-authorization, to go around the Constitution, Congress and courts in the "interest" of "national security" has transformed a country Lincoln said "was conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal (in a) "government of the people, by the people, (and) for the people into a fascist dictatorship the Democrat leadership is very comfortable with and has no intention of challenging - as long as they're cut in on the spoils which they'll now get a bigger piece of.
These are the same "Democrats" who pledge allegiance to Thomas Jefferson who abhored war calling it the "greatest scourge of mankind....(swore) eternal hostility against every form of tryanny....(explained) All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent....(and said) Every generation needs a new revolution (to reinvent itself and expunge the sins of the past one)."
If Jefferson were with us now, he'd tell us the sins of the past generation are so enormous and out-of-control and so endanger the republic, at best on life support and fading fast, that never before in the country's history than now is the mother of all revolutions he spoke of needed. The political class in Washington won't respond to his call or even want us to know about it, and it's up to the public to deliver the message in a way those in power can't ignore.
Jefferson would approve explaining how important it is to keep "the spirit of resistence....alive....(that) timid men prefer the calm of despotism....(and that everyone has) certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Jefferson also knew what Ben Franklin meant when he said at the Constitution's birth that we have a Republic if we can keep it. He also knew that if lost, it's for the public to reclaim it from those who took it. It's high time to try. Jefferson and Franklin would approve.

There's two ways to get it back:
One is to pick up our guns and march to Washington. I used to hope for that, but now I'm too old and too sick to participate. And I don't expect you'll find many of the young and healthy who are willing to try it.
The other is to sit around and do nothing. The rest of the world will come here, by and by, and do to Uncle Sam what Uncle Sam has done to Iraq. Those of us who are left alive can then pick up the pieces and build something that works as a nation.
The United States is dead. Our Constitution and our Bill of Rights have been repealed. The rule of law is now a joke for being stood on its head. What's legal is immoral and what's moral is illegal. Our educational system produces illiterates. Our leaders don't lead. The most technologically advanced civilizaton in the world can't build voting machines that work. Our model of disaster relief is a disaster. The best equipped and most expensive military machine in the world can't fight wars worth a shit, and the moron who thinks he leads us wants to drop nuclear weapons on our enemies. If he ever tries that, he'll probably drop them on us. But that may not matter because, like everything else we've got, our nuclear weapons probably don't work either.
I don't know about the rest of the country but as for me: I'm curious to see how this all plays out.
Stephen Lendman said:
New Faces, Same Agenda
My solution is what Jefferson proposed mentioned at end of my article - a revolutionary rebirthing every generation - with no blood in streets. Voting, especially when system plagued with fraud, a waste unless followed up nose to nose if necessary - serve us or else - do the job or we'll get someone else to do it. Be a real representative or else.
Jimmy Montague said:
Would that it were so
If you think you can topple the US government with non-violent, nose-to-nose, civil disobedience, I refer you to "The Autobiography of Mother Jones." It's online. Read it. Then there's the story of the American labor movement. If you want something entertaining in that line, see Jack London, "South of the Slot." It's fiction, but it's not. Seldom in history have those holding power ever let go of it willingly. Nearly always, power has to be wrenched from their grasping claws while they fight to kill you with every weapon at their disposal. I wish things were different but there it is.

U.S. Authorities found marijuana and drug paraphernalia on one of Justin Bieber's tour buses during a stop at the border between Michigan and Canada, according to TMZ.
Bieber was not on the bus. He's becoming wily, that one.
Chief Customs and Border Protection Officer Ken Hammond told the website officers halted the bus at the Ambassador Bridge -- separating Windsor, Canada, and Detroit -- after a drug-sniffing dog detected the presence of pot. You know, the weed, grass, the herb, the reefer, the Maui Wowie, the ganja, the chronic, the Mary J., the ...
Anyway, Hammond said a search of the bus revealed marijuana and drug paraphernalia, both of which were seized by officers, who gave the driver a citation. Everyone was then released.
The incident comes a few months after a Bieber tour bus was allegedly found with marijuana in Sweden.

Tips have been trickling in to Medford police this morning from eyewitnesses who may have seen something connected to the homicide case involving a 58-year-old taxi driver.
"If you were down there on Saturday night on Front Street, call us," Medford police Lt. Mike Budreau said.
So far, police haven't received any solid leads from eyewitnesses who may have seen William Roy Huson pick up a fare at Howiee's on Front at 10:40 Saturday night.
The fare was the last radio contact Huson had with Valley Cab before the company reported him missing at 1:02 a.m.
Huson was shot in the head, his body discovered Sunday morning by police in a field off Helo Drive near Vilas Road.
Budreau said the street in front of Howiee's was busy on Saturday night. He is asking anyone who was in the vicinity of Howiee's to contact police.
Police are hoping to question as many individuals as possible to help jog their memories of what took place around the bar, Budreau said.
Anyone who was at or near Howiee's Saturday night should call 541-770-4783 or make an anonymous tip at www.tipsubmit.com.
Budreau said investigators hope someone might have seen suspicious activity around the time Huson picked up his fare.
Investigators also have interviewed residents near Ninth and Almond streets, where Huson's taxi was found abandoned.

Historic Seventh Ave. to host Farmers Market Sunday
Published: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 6:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 6:37 p.m.
Visitors and merchants saw a need for the Historic 7th Avenue District to hold a second local farmer's market; therefore, the event showcasing locally grown and organic foods will be in full swing Sunday, according to Tara Ledbetter, executive director of the Historic 7th Avenue District.
Want to go?
What: Historic 7th Avenue Local Farmer's Market
Where: Historic Train Depot
When: Sunday, July 1 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
More information: www.7thavehvl.com
Originally, the free event was held only once a year as an alternative during the Apple Festival that runs on Labor Day weekend.
"We saw a demand from vendors and attendees to hold the farmer's market more often," Ledbetter said about the event that starts at 11 a.m. and lasts until 4 p.m. Sunday at the Historic Train Depot.
She expects about 30 vendors, who not only will carry organic and all-natural items but also seasonal fruits and vegetables from local growers, jams and jellies and dairy products.
In addition, a beekeeper and candle maker will be at the depot.
"We will have a great variety," Ledbetter said.
Concessions will be offered from the Hendersonville Co-Op and Depot Diner, she said.
The city of Hendersonville also saw a demand for more frequent farmer's markets in the historic area, Ledbetter said.
The market is open to Henderson Country farm-fresh growers as well as organic growers, Ledbetter said. Both farm-fresh and organic growers from neighboring counties are welcome to attend.
"This is a family event, and we welcome locals and visitors to the area," Ledbetter said. "We encourage people to support our local produce and the Seventh Avenue revitalization project."
The Apple Valley Model Railroad Club will be open the entire day. Folks can tour their facilities inside the train depot and see the many intricate train displays while checking out local businesses in the district.
The next farmer's market at the train depot will be Sept. 2, and Ledbetter is hoping to hold the event once a month during future growing seasons.
The July and September markets are sponsored by Duke Energy, City Tire Service, Hendersonville Co-Op, ASAP, Underground Bakery, WTZQ, Henderson County Travel & Tourism and WHKP. Limited vendor spaces are available. Register at www.7thavehvl.com.

For wine drinkers, finding the perfect summertime match can be daunting. When lounging on the deck or patio, red wine can seem too heavy. And sometimes that simple white wine is just, well, too simple.
That's why it's hard to beat a crisp rose when the weather is warm.
It's easy to dismiss pink wine. After all, most Americans associate rose with cheap, sweet "blush" wines, like Sutter Home's white Zinfandel. Nothing could be further from reality.
"Rose's in general have a bad reputation," Breckenridge's Ridge St. Wine shop owner Anne Dowling said. "But they have definitely made a resurgence in the last 5-10 years ... Roses are a total different animal now in comparison to 20 years ago."
This style of wine traces its roots to the early 1970's. Back then, demand for white wine outpaced supply, so many California winemakers started producing white wine from red grapes, taking advantage of the fact that even red grapes give off white juice when the skins are removed.
In 1975, the winemaker at Sutter Home, Bob Trinchero, had a problem while making his white Zinfandel. A portion of the wine experienced a "stuck fermentation," meaning the yeast died before all the sugar had converted into alcohol. Rather than "fix" the wine by adding more yeast, Trinchero decided to let it sit for two weeks. When he revisited the wine, he knew it would be a hit -- and Sutter Home's modern-day white Zinfandel was born. Countless imitators would soon follow.
This style of pink wine remains quite popular and it will always have fans. More often than not, though, white Zinfandel and other blush wines are just too sweet. Many taste more like strawberry fruit punch than wine.
True roses are bone dry, textured, and refreshing. And they can be just as complex and food friendly as traditional wines.
True roses are made in one of two ways.
In the first method, the winemaker crushes red wine grapes and leaves the juice in contact with the skin for a brief period, typically one or two days. They then discard the skins, allowing the juice to finish fermentation on its own. Thanks to the short period of skin contact, the wine retains some color. Here, rose is the only goal.
In the second method, rose is a byproduct of red wine fermentation. Red wine obtains color, tannin, structure, and flavors from grape skins. If a winemaker wants to increase the skin-to-juice ratio during fermentation, they can simply remove some juice at an early stage. This pink juice can then be fermented separately to create rose. This method is known as saignee.
True roses have been a part of life in France for centuries. In the southeastern part of the country, residents and visitors alike have long recognized the splendor of pairing rose with warm weather and coastal cuisine.
France remains the source of many fantastic roses - great examples can be found in Bandol, Tavel, Sancerre, and many other regions. When looking for French roses, it's best to look for reliable importers, like Kermit Lynch, Beaune Imports, Weygandt-Metzler and Robert Kacher. All four bring in a number of knockout wines.
Plenty of delightful pink wines come from outside France as well. Across the world, more and more producers are making top-notch, authentic roses.
In the United States, some producers to look for include Alexander Valley Vineyards, which makes a splendid rose of Sangiovese, Copain and Ponzi. Another favorite is made by Mulderbosch in South Africa.
The world is still awash in bad roses, of course. It's still quite easy to accidently wind up with a bottle that's too heavy, alcoholic, or sweet. Local shops offer classes and tastings, so be sure to stop in when roses are open - you might find a crisp, refreshing wine that's worth stocking up on.
Breckenridge Cheese and Chocolate, Ridge Street Wine's sister store, offers rose flights seven days a week throughout the summer. For $12, you can try three different roses that the store switches out periodically.

10 New Weight Loss and Diet Myths and Facts
Is it a no-no to eat after 8 PM? Discover the real answer to this question and more
Remember the old riddle: What weighs more -- 100 lbs of brick or 100 lbs of feathers? They, of course, weigh the same, but the size of the feather pile would be much bigger than the stack of bricks. That analogy kind of helps when you think of grams of food: a gram of protein has four calories; a gram of carbohydrates also has four calories; but a gram of fat has nine calories.
Capitalize on the facts: The difference in calories per gram is the reason why one food may have way more calories than an identical serving size of another. It's also the reason for the proliferation of low-fat and fat-free products. Limiting the number of grams of fat you consume each day makes it easier to stay in your caloric budget (and your skinny jeans).
Next: It's not (all) your parents' fault

The Frisco Bike Park is celebrating the completion of the facility with a race on its latest addition - the Peak 2 Peak Dual Slalom Course.
Bikers will go head-to-head in the race slated for 5:15 tonight at the Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area. The course includes rollers, "S" turns and a jump feature at the bottom. The facility is new, the sport is new, the competition is new.
So, the race roster has just a handful of people signed up to compete thus far.
But, bike park manager Jon "Zeke" Zdechlik hopes the festival environment, put on with the help of Lift 106, Culture of Speed and Maverick Sports, will create an atmosphere that draws crowds. And he hopes those crowds will realize the bike park isn't as intimidating as it looks from Highway 9.
"There is an intimidation factor," he said of the beginner, intermediate and expert slopestyle courses, the last of which sits roadside. "It isn't just for the experts. It's for everyone."
The dual slalom and slopestyle courses wind down the hillside, at the bottom of which is a new pump track (use momentum, terrain and body movement to keep the bike moving, rather than pedals) and the jump track, which is a set of large features typically more geared to the advanced and expert riders.
Tonight's race is one effort on behalf of the bike park managers to get attention to the new, free facility. Another was to bring the Summit Mountain Challenge mountain bike series to the slopestyle courses via the first event, the Frisco Roundup.
At first, riders questioned the course, Zdechlik said. But after the third lap, he noticed they got into the concept, catching air as they sped through. Now, he sees some of the riders stopping by to try the track out again.
"It's so new, everyone's trying to get a handle on it. What does it mean? What doesn't it mean?" Zdechlik said.
A typical run lasts about 75 seconds, but the dual slalom races could be as fast as 20-22 seconds.
First, riders will do two time trials. Based on those results, they'll be seeded in a bracket of head-to-head races. Winners move on; losers stand back to watch. Racers will have 3-4 opportunities, minimum, to ride the course.
They'll also have the chance to get familiar with this race's setup - the other two scheduled for this summer could see the gate placed elsewhere in the park with a different course - from 3-5 p.m. prior to the event start.
That helps with familiarity as well as strategy, Zdechlik said.
"There's a heck of a lot of strategy with this racing," he said, explaining that some riders choose to launch off the jumps while others ride over them. Deciding how far to go - and how fast - is part of how the rider moves toward victory in the half a minute he or she is riding.
The race is formal at the same time it's fun, Zdechlik said. Two more are scheduled: July 6th and July 13, 2012. Race registration is $25 a race or $65 for the series. Race registration is available online at www.FriscoRecreation.com or the day of at the Frisco Adventure Park Day Lodge.
"What we're trying to do here is have fun and introduce it. It's so new to the county," he said, adding that few courses of its kind exist nearby. Boulder has a much larger one, and Zdechlik said he's had riders from there compliment him on the park, saying they're excited about the setup Frisco provides.
Spectators are welcome at the event, Zdechlik said.
"There are some excellent vantage points," he said. "You can sit on the rocks and watch."
Or, you can play horseshoes, throw a Frisbee, or enjoy a drink on the patio as the race atmosphere takes over the hillside.
