Experts said confirmation by Jesse Jackson Jr. of the federal investigation and his exit from Congress signal more details about what's been going on with the son of the civil rights leader are likely to surface.
CHICAGO (AP) — Jesse Jackson Jr.'s resignation from Congress might end his once-promising political career but it doesn't mark the end of troubles for the civil rights icon's son.
Just two weeks after voters re-elected him to a ninth full term, Jackson on Wednesday sent his resignation letter to House Speaker John Boehner, citing his ongoing treatment for bipolar disorder and admitting "my share of mistakes" while confirming publically for the first time that he's under a federal probe and cooperating with investigators.
The federal investigation is reportedly into possible misuse of campaign funds, but Jackson was also under a House Ethics Committee investigation over dealings with imprisoned ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but it was unclear how the committee would proceed with the resignation. The committee could still decide to release a final report with their findings, but they no longer have the power to punish him.
Jackson, 47, was never charged with wrongdoing and in his resignation letter wrote, "they are my mistakes and mine alone."
The letter also immediately prompted his attorneys to come forward also though they offered few details of the probe reportedly into misuse of campaign funds.
STORY: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. resigns from Congress
"Mr. Jackson is cooperating with the investigation. We hope to negotiate a fair resolution of the matter but the process could take several months," said a statement from Jackson attorneys including former U.S. Attorney in Chicago Dan Webb. "During that time, we will have no further comment and urge you to give Mr. Jackson the privacy he needs to heal and handle these issues responsibly."
Experts said confirmation by Jackson of the federal investigation and his resignation signaled more details are likely to follow.
"I think it won't be too long before we hear an announcement of a plea agreement," said Bruce Reinhart, a white-collar defense lawyer in West Palm Beach, Florida, who was a federal prosecutor for 19 years. "The government doesn't like people who are going to plead guilty to abusing public office to remain in a position of public trust. ... Resignation would be a significant bargaining chip for Congressman Jackson in order to get a better deal from the government."
Late Wednesday the longtime Chicago congressman's father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., told reporters his son resigned because he didn't believe he could continue to serve effectively while also trying to get well.
"He made the decision to choose his health," Jackson said.
He also said there is no way of knowing how long it will take for his son to recover from what he characterized as an "internal unresolved challenge."
"It's not the kind of illness you can put a timetable on," Jackson said, adding that he is confident that his son "will get well in time."
Jackson first took office in 1995 after winning a special election in a largely urban and Democratic district and began his career in Washington with a star power and pedigree that set him apart from his hundreds of other House colleagues.
But despite high expectations, he largely went unnoticed as a policymaker.
Jackson went on medical leave in June, though his office was never forthcoming about details about his condition, his whereabouts or if he would return.
It was later revealed that he was being treated at the Mayo Clinic for bipolar disorder and gastrointestinal issues. He returned to his Washington home in September but went back to the clinic the next month, with his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, saying his son had not yet "regained his balance."
Jackson has not detailed what his treatment entails. Attempts by the Associated Press to locate Jackson were unsuccessful, and family members either declined to comment or could not be reached.
In the letter Jackson said that he returned to Washington the first time against the recommendations of his doctor and then needed to return. He said over the months as his health had "deteriorated" his ability to serve his constituents had "diminished."
"My health issues and treatment regimen have been incompatible with service in the House of Representatives," he wrote.
Bipolar disorder used to be known as manic-depression and it can cause severe mood swings that interfere with the ability to handle daily tasks. Prescription drugs including the mood stabilizer lithium and antidepressants can help manage the symptoms, but it often takes time to find the right drug, or combination of drugs, to be effective.
Henry C. Jackson reported from Washington. Associated Press Special Correspondent David Espo in Washington and Associated Press writers Sara Burnett in Chicago and Pete Yost in Washington contributed to this report.

The randomized controlled trial evidence on vitamin D supplementation and cancer prevention has been mixed to date. The Women's Health Initiative trial, which followed roughly 36,000 women for an average of seven years, failed to find any reduction in colon or breast cancer risk in women who received daily supplements of 400 IU of vitamin D and 1,000 mg of calcium, compared to those who received a placebo. (
, ) But that study had several limitations, chief among them the relatively low dose of vitamin D. ( , ) Also, some people in the placebo group decided on their own to take extra calcium and vitamin D supplements, minimizing the differences between the placebo group and the supplement group, and about one third of the women assigned to vitamin D did not take their supplements. ( )A more recent trial among nearly 1,200 postmenopausal women found significant reductions in overall cancer incidence among those randomized to receive 1,100 IU of vitamin D plus 1400-1500 mg calcium. (Vitamin D and Omega 3 Trial (VITAL) study, which is testing 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day, should offer more answers on the role of vitamin D in cancer prevention, although it could be affected by some of the same limitations as the Women's Health Initiative.

ADRIAN — A 24-year-old Adrian man with a long record of drug offenses could go through the alternative state prison boot camp program rather than serve two to 20 years in prison. Isadore Patrick Casarez III was told he will be given the option when he was sentenced Friday in Lenawee County Circuit Court.
Casarez pleaded guilty on Jan. 2 to delivery of cocaine, delivery of marijuana and possession of cocaine. The charges involve drug offenses in 2012 and 2011.
"I just want to take accountability for my actions. I know I did wrong. I want to do better," Casarez told Judge Timothy P. Pickard.
After handing down prison terms of 23 months to 20 years and 23 months to seven years for the drug delivery convictions and one to four years for cocaine possession, Pickard said he will consider approving Casarez for the 91-day boot camp program if he shows he is serious about changing the course of his life. He was given credit for 32 days served in jail.

How does GPS work?
Alternative satellite systems
GLONASS (Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System) is the Russian satellite system, which became fully operational in December 1995. Like GPS, GLONASS also uses 24 satellites and though slightly more accurate than GPS, its big drawback was that the satellites only lasted about 3 years.
With a Russian economic crisis in the late 90's, the satellites were not always replaced, so that the system gradually lost its effectiveness. By 2000, only 8 of the 24 satellites were still operational. However, for the last few years, Russia has been working hard on a GLONASS comeback and hopes to have the system fully operational again in 2012.
GPS BLOCK III is the new version of GPS. The biggest improvement on the current GPS system is that GPS III will send out a more powerful signal. It will also follow a different orbit, so countries on higher latitude, such as in Scandinavia, will now get better coverage. Another major advantage is its ability to operate accurately together with GALILEO, the new European satellite system.
GALILEO is the new satellite system of the European Union. One of the key reasons for the EU to develop its own satellite system was so that it would no longer be dependent on GPS.
GALILEO will provide greater accuracy and coverage than GPS and is mainly intended for civilian use. It is due to be completed in 2008/9 and the first satellite was launched in December 2005. It will eventually consist of a constellation of 30 satellites orbiting at some 14700 miles/ 23,600 kilometres above Earth.
Click here to read all about GALILEO.
Despite the impressive accuracy of GPS and GLONASS, two further systems were launched to make them even more accurate. WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) for the American continent and EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System) for the European continent.
Each consists of three satellites that send out signals to receivers. Measuring stations then calculate if the satellite signal has a discrepancy and sends any correction to two of the three 'geostationary' satellites. These geostationary satellites beam the correction signal back to Earth, where WAAS/EGNOS -enabled GPS receivers apply that correction to their computed GPS position.
However, the new GPS III and GALILEO systems will not work together with WAAS or EGNOS, as they'll be able to measure and correct their own inaccuracies.

- "There was a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. His garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur and he had a collar of silver in which a single white stone was set; his locks were shorn about his shoulders. On a baldric he wore a great horn tipped with silver that now was laid upon his knees."
- ― The Fellowship of the Ring, The Council of Elrond
Boromir was the eldest son of Denethor II, older brother of Faramir. He was one of the Nine Walkers who made up the Fellowship of the Ring.
Contents |
Boromir was born in 2978, was five years before his brother Faramir. Between the brothers there was great love, and had been since childhood, when Boromir was the helper and protector of Faramir. He was only ten years old when their mother Finduilas died, and after her death their father became grim and remote. Boromir was beloved by his father and was like him in face and pride, but in little else. Boromir's temperament was similar to King Eärnur of old, he took no wife and was more interested in arms and warfare. He cared little for lore, save the tales of old battles.
Boromir was man of great strength and valour. He had a fair and noble face, dark haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. When Sauron attacked Osgiliath, Boromir was the commander of the company which drove back the Orcs and held the last bridge until it was destroyed behind them, to prevent the Orcs from crossing the river.
Journey to Rivendell
- "In that dream I thought the eastern sky grew dark and there was a growing thunder, but in the West a pale light lingered, and out of it I heard a voice, remote but clear, crying:
Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.
- ― Boromir; The Fellowship of the Ring, The Council of Elrond
On the evening before Sauron's attack on Osgiliath, Faramir had a dream. A similar dream came to Boromir. Both Boromir and Faramir could understand little of these words, therefore they spoke to their father who was wise in the lore of Gondor. But he could only say that Imladris was a dale in the far north where Elrond lived. Faramir was eager to seek Imladris, however since the way was full of doubt and danger Boromir took the journey upon himself.
Boromir's journey took 110 days. He passed through the Gap of Rohan and travelled north through the lands west of the Misty Mountains. He faced many hardships, for that land had fallen into decay and the North-South Road no longer existed except for crumbling remains of the old causeways. He lost his horse near Tharbad while crossing the Greyflood using a dangerous ford formed by a ruined bridge. The rest of the way he travelled on foot.
When he reached Rivendell, he attended the Council of Elrond. Boromir spoke to the Council of Gondor's vigilance and the struggle to keep the forces of Mordor from crossing the Anduin. However, he said, he had not come seeking military aid but counsel. When he told of the dream that had led him to Rivendell the answers to its riddles were revealed: Aragorn brought out the Shards of Narsil and Frodo Baggins the Halfling held up the One Ring that was Isildur's Bane. There he attempted to persuade the Council to let him take the One Ring to Gondor so that it could be used in the defence of the realm. But Elrond explained that the Ring could not be used, for even though it is used for the purpose of doing good it would twist all deeds and intentions to evil in the end.
The Fellowship of the Ring
It was Boromir's intention to return to Minas Tirith, therefore he joined the Fellowship of the Ring. When the Company of the Ring reached Caradhras, Boromir advised that each of them should carry a faggot of wood. This saved the Company's life when they got caught in a blizzard on Caradhras. The next morning Boromir and Aragorn plowed their way through the snow and carried the four Hobbits back down the mountain to safety.
As the Redhorn Pass was now blocked, Boromir proposed that they should travel southward on the west side of the Misty Mountains and then either pass through the Gap of Rohan or cross the Isen and go through the southern lands of Langstrand and Lebennin. But Gandalf opposed this saying that, because of Saruman's treachery those lands were no longer safe. He proposed that the Company should instead go through the mines of Moria, but Boromir said that he would not go that way, not unless the whole company voted against him.
Boromir finally agreed, but upon reaching the Doors of Durin he was angry that Gandalf did not know the password and he threw a stone in the Dark Water. This alerted the Watcher in the Water. When Gandalf stepped into the mines the Watcher attacked Frodo, but all the Company were able to escape into the mines.
Boromir fought valiantly when the Company was attacked in the Chamber of Mazarbul, and he blocked the western door and hewed at the arm of a Cave-troll. After escaping from the Chamber, the company reached the Bridge of Khazad-dûm they were again attacked by Orcs, and with them was a Balrog. Boromir sounded his Great Horn which caused their enemies to pause, but then continued to advance. As Gandalf fought with the Balrog, Boromir and Aragorn ran towards him, but just they reached the bridge Gandalf shattered the bridge and the Balrog fell into the abyss, dragging Gandalf in as well.
Aragorn then led the Company towards Lothlórien. Boromir advised against this, saying that the woods had a perilous reputation in Gondor and that few escaped unscathed. Aragorn replied that only those who were evil or brought evil with them had reason to fear Lothlórien. After Galadriel had spoken to each member of the Company in their thoughts, Boromir was keen to know about the conversation between the Lady and the Ring-bearer, but what he thought that the Lady had offered him he did not tell. When the Company were set to depart from Lothlórien, Galadriel gave each of them a gift. Boromir received a golden Belt.
As the Company set out down the Anduin. Boromir shared a boat with Merry and Pippin. As they travelled down the river, Boromir became increasingly consumed with thoughts of the Ring. He muttered to himself and bit his nails and sometimes paddled closer to Frodo's boat. His behavior made Merry and Pippin uneasy, and Pippin noticed a strange glint in Boromir's eye as he looked at Frodo. As the Company approached the rapids of Sarn Gebir it was Boromir who alerted them and they were able to turn back. Boromir then advised the company to leave the river and strike a westward and southward road to Gondor. But Frodo did not intend to go to Gondor, hence the Company continued on their way down the river.
When the Company reached Nen Hithoel, it was time for the Company to decide their next course. When Frodo wandered off into the forest to think, Boromir followed him after a while. He tried to persuade Frodo to bring The Ring to Minas Tirith. As Boromir spoke, the lure of the Ring grew stronger in him. He envisioned himself as a mighty king who would overthrow Sauron and lead Gondor to victory and glory. When Frodo refused to accompany him to Minas Tirith, Boromir became enraged and tried to take the Ring from Frodo by force. Frodo put the Ring on and vanished, and Boromir was overwhelmed with the realization of what he had done. He wept and called for Frodo to return, but it was too late.
When Boromir returned to the Company he would only say that he had argued with Frodo and that the Hobbit had disappeared. Merry and Pippin ran off looking for their friend, and Aragorn told Boromir to follow them and guard them. Boromir did as he was asked. When he found the Hobbits they were surrounded by dozens of Orcs. Boromir slew many of them and the rest fled. He began to lead the Hobbits back to the campsite, but they were attacked again by at least 100 Orcs. Boromir sounded the Great Horn and fought valiantly to prevent the Orcs from seizing Merry and Pippin. He was pierced by many arrows and fell at last, and the Hobbits were taken prisoner.
Boromir was still alive when Aragorn found him. At least twenty Orcs lay slain around him. Boromir still held his sword, though the blade had been broken off at the hilt, and the Great Horn had been cloven in two. Before he died, Boromir told Aragorn that he had tried to take the Ring from Frodo. Then Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas laid Boromir's body in one of the boats. His shattered horn and sword they laid across his lap and the weapons of his enemies were laid at his feet. The funeral boat was taken out to the middle of the Anduin and the river carried Boromir's body over the Falls of Rauros.
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?'
'I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey;
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor.'
'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.
From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sand hills and the stones;
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
'What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve.'
'Ask not of me where he doth dwell – so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!'
'O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's mouth.'
From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry, there many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.'
'O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Raurors, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'
- Aragorn and Legolas' song of Boromir after setting his funeral boat adrift
Three nights later, Faramir was sitting by the banks of the Anduin in Osgiliath when he saw a boat float past him on the river. Faramir had heard the Great Horn sounding in the distance when Boromir was in need, and now he saw his brother's body laid out in the boat, but the Great Horn was missing. The two halves of the horn were later washed ashore and they were returned to Denethor. It was said that the boat bearing Boromir's body was borne down the Anduin and out into the Sea.
Boromir was named after Boromir (Steward of Gondor).[4]
Boromir is mentioned to be one of the few Gondorian names of mixed forms, containing both Quenya and Sindarin elements.[5] It has been suggested that boromir consists of Sindarin boro(n) ("steadfast") + Quenya míre ("jewel").[6]
In the Etymologies, the name Boromir is discussed under the root BOR. The name is said to be a Noldorin form derived from Old Noldorin Boronmíro, being originally an Elvish name borne by Gnomes in Valinor. The first element related to Old Noldorin boron ("steadfast, trusty man, faithful vassal").[7] The ending -mir, derived from root MIR (a root yielding derivatives meaning "jewel, precious thing, treasure"), related to Old Noldorin mîre.[7][8] According to the framework of the Etymologies, the name Boromir would thus likely mean "faithful jewel".[9][10]
One of the many similarities between Roland, the paladin of Charlemagne, and Boromir is that both bore a white horn.[11] Like Roland in battle with the Saracens blew his horn to call for Charlemagne, Boromir called for Aragorn. In both cases, help came too late.[12]
Portrayal in adaptations
1955: The Lord of the Rings (1955 radio series):
- Derek Prentice voiced Boromir.
1978: The Lord of the Rings (1978 film):
- Michael Graham Cox provided the voice of Boromir. His appearance was inspired by the popular image of a viking: he wore a fur tunic and a horned helmet. He did not have a shield.
1979: The Lord of the Rings (1979 radio series):
- Erik Bauersfeld provided the voice of Boromir.
1981: The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series):
- Cox reprised his role of Boromir. In the mean time, he learned to pronounce Elvish words correctly: he came from "My Nasty Rith" in Bakshi's film, but he uses the correct pronounciation here.
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
- Boromir is played by Sean Bean. Differing from the book, Boromir dies (killed by the Uruk-hai leader Lurtz) at the end of the film instead of the beginning of The Two Towers.
2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game):
- James Horan provides the voice of Boromir, clad in blue and carrying a great shield. His death is not shown; he is not seen again after the first camp at the foot of Amon Hen.
2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
- The extended edition includes a scene not taken from the book in which Boromir and his brother Faramir see each other for the last time, and we see their father Denethor's attitude toward his two sons. At the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, Boromir says that his prophetic dream came to first his brother, Faramir, and then to him, on the night before an attack on Osgiliath. This reference to Osgiliath may be the inspiration for the flashback scene in The Two Towers.
2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King:
- Boromir is seen in a brief flashback being pierced by arrows, as Pippin explains to Denethor the circumstances of his death. In the extended edition, he is seen again in a vision of Denethor, walking proudly towards his father until he fades away.

SPRINGETTSBURY TWP. (AP) — Authorities in southern Pennsylvania say a man accused of stealing was fatally shot by police outside a Kmart store.
The York Daily Record reports that the shooting happened around 7 p.m. Saturday in Springettsbury Twp. in York County.
Police Chief Thomas Hyers says four officers responded to a reported theft and managed to get the unidentified 40-year-old man outside. He had a knife and refused to drop it, even after officers used a stun gun on him.
Hyers says the man charged at two officers with the weapon, and they both shot at him. He was pronounced dead at York Hospital.
Hyers would not identify the officers but says their actions appear to be justified. He says they will be put on leave during an investigation by state police.

A Buffalo Township man was ordered to stand trial for allegedly raping a prostitute behind a Canton Township convenience store in May.
Dennis Lee Hopkins, 32, of 116 E. Buffalo Church Road, was ordered held for court on charges of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint, patronizing prostitution and robbery following a preliminary hearing in Central Court Wednesday before District Judge Jay Weller.
The alleged victim testified under oath that she was working as a prostitute May 18 when Hopkins picked her up as she walked along Walnut Street in Washington.
"He asked if I wanted to get out of here, and I said 'yes,'" the 33-year-old woman said. "We started talking about our names. He was nice and sweet. We talked about going to a house in a trailer park off Route 18."
She noticed a state police car and told him about it. He pulled into the parking lot of a convenience store on Route 18 (Henderson Avenue). They then pulled in behind another building.
"We started talking about payment," she testified. "We needed protection, so we got out of the car and started to walk toward the convenience store."
She said Hopkins changed his mind and only wanted oral sex.
"When we got back into the car, he pulled out a knife and held it to my ribs," she testified. "He told me we were going to do it his way.
"I did everything he told me," the woman added.
She said that after Hopkins forced her to have intercourse, she tried to get out of the car, and he unlocked the door and pushed her out. She said she did not have her shorts, but he threw them out the car window before driving off. The woman said he took her purse, which contained about $30.
Under cross-examination by defense attorney Wendy Williams, the 33-year-old admitted to drinking beer and smoking crack about an hour before meeting Hopkins.
This is not the first time Hopkins has faced such charges. In 2007, Hopkins was found guilty after a nonjury trial of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault and rape for assaulting an exotic dancer at knifepoint inside a Carnegie motel room. Allegheny County police detectives charged him in connection with the 2005 assault. Hopkins was sentenced to six to 12 years in a state correctional institution.
Hopkins remains in Washington County jail on $100,000 bond. He was transferred there June 25 from the State Correctional Institution at Pittsburgh, where he was held on a state parole detainer.
After learning that attempts were made to contact the victim by a third party, Assistant District Attorney Kristin Clingerman asked Weller to include as a condition of bond that no one contact the victim.
