UURRRGGGHHH!!!</title><content type='html'>REFUGEE ASSISTANCE: Order supports Hamas
 
"Yes we can" --

1. Now kill babies

2. Close Guantanamo and free some terrorists

3. Free the terrorist who planned the bombing of the USS Cole.( Johnny El-Kaboom's free,China is KILLING the 2 men behind the lead paint disaster!)

However, this latest executive order puts the icing on the cake. By executive order, President Obama ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza. The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the U.S. was signed Jan. 27 and appeared in the Federal Register Feb. 4. President Obama's decision, according to the Register, was necessitated by "the urgent refugee and migration needs" of the "victims."
Few on Capital Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
The charter for Hamas calls for the replacement of the nation of Israel with a Palestinian Islamic state. Since its formation in 1994, Hamas has been responsible for hundreds of terrorist attacks, including the 2002 Passover suicide bombing. The leaders of the movement signed the World Islamic Statement of 1998 -- a document, penned by Osama bin Laden, which declared war on America and Israel. President Obama's executive order is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, many with ties to radical Islam, to our shores, furthering a process that was inaugurated in 1995 by Sen. Ted Kennedy and the Cedar-Hart bill.
This was not transparent spending and is in addition to what we are now spending (billions) for illegals, providing their housing, health, education, and other benefits while our natural or legal citizens are unable to afford college, health insurance, many who are homeless and jobless. When you lose your jobs and your homes, remember the only one to blame is the current administration. People like Mr. Forbes and several other economists have stated this stimulus bill will not create all the promised three to four million jobs, but they do have answers that make sense. Why is the administration not listening to them?

Thank you, President Obama, for admitting on an Arabic TV station that some of your family members are Muslim. Congratulations! YYYEEEAAAAWWWHHHHH!!!!!!!!!   ~ HAPPY BELATED VALENINES DAY TO ALL U SWEETHEARTS! KISSES!! AND CYBER HUGZ!!!   =^.^= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HA!</title><content type='html'>With the job of Speaker of the House comes the use of a small jet 
aircraft which all former speakers used for travel in the conduct of 
normal congressional business, as well as traveling to and from their 
residences.
Because this small jet had to be refueled, requiring an additional 
landing and takeoff, Speaker Nancy Pelosi became so aggravated she 
ordered a nice new 200-seat jumbo jet which could fly nonstop from 
D.C. to the West Coast. God knows what the price was, but the cost of 
a one-way trip home is $60,000. A round-trip once a week would be 
$120,000. And that's just for three days work, since Monday and 
Friday are travel days. The cost of flight crews, attendants, 
supplies, security, etc., is not yet known to the public. It has been 
projected that the annual cost for her jumbo jet to be ready 24/7 is 
$5,760,000.
Somehow the speaker had the guts to complain about what Republicans 
spent on Sarah Palin's wardrobe for the campaign. Worse, she then 
makes those wonderful speeches on how we should not be such gluttons, 
and learn to make sacrifices such as car-pools, smaller cars, and 
alternative fuels.

I am sure you feel her pain when making those trips back and forth 
from the Capitol to California.........NOT!!!

I am still burning,or maybe clinicaly depressed that our fellow Americans (Americants) chose the MUTT &amp; THE NUT......but being the patriotic,America loving girl I am,I have made a choice to not do any Obama bashing.This is a task harder than Michael Jackson @  freakin' DisneyWorld, friends!!!! I love our military and homeland and PRAY that this administration DOES help us,not help themselves.  But,some things have my fur up and claws ot so I have to purge a hairball atcha! ;-)&gt; HEY! Looks like there will be change. Any one still  is an illegal alien fan: open borders, amnesty and higher taxes to pay for it. Hillary wants the U.N. "small arms proliferation" treaty, no more defense against gang bangers. Nancy wants to silence dissent against liberal policies; no more free speech. An anti-gunner has the top regulatory position. Ammo will be regulated, taxed or forbidden.
Our jobs will go to future immigrants. A recent poll showed 73 percent in India want to come here. The smallest poll number is 16 percent; even that adds up to a lot flooding in, taking welfare, jobs or joining organized crime. With Obama they will get their wish. No job? No problem. Poor immigrants will ensure you never have a job again.
Obama's legislation S2433 would give monies to the U.N.; now it will pass. Same with the SALT treaty giving the U.N. complete control of oceans and adjacent lands. Our military will still be in the U.N. "peacekeeping force" and subject to their rules, at taxpayer expense.
Obama says we can't drive SUVs and eat without limit, while the world looks on. Is this the change you want? Why do we need a "civilian army" with kids conscripted from 18 to 25? To protect our borders, or go after loud-mouthed Americans who resent all of this?
The worst "change" is HJR 5, repealing the 22nd Amendment. While most people want term limits to minimize damage, officials want to allow themselves and the president to serve indefinitely. Can you imagine another term for GW, or letting this new president never leave? Too much is scrapped already, like the citizenship requirement for presidency, the right to keep and bear arms, free speech, the right to be secure in person and property; the list goes on. We are in trouble,kidz.Have a great week and send this around for the sake of Keepin it Real, not Obama bashing......... =^.^=

Mexico Says Gang Killings More Than Double in 2008

MEXICO CITY -- Organized-crime slayings in Mexico more than doubled in the first 11 months of 2008, the government said Monday, as powerful drug cartels fought increasingly bloody battles among themselves and against security forces.
Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora said gangland killings rose by 117 percent to 5,376 as compared to the first 11 months of 2007, when there were 2,477 slayings. The government had previously not provided a total number for such killings and the figure came days after Washington began releasing funds from an anti-drug aid package.
Underscoring the brutality of the conflict, authorities on Monday reported that at least 18 people were killed in a single day in southern Guerrero state and two human heads were left in buckets outside the governor's office.
Medina Mora said the spike in "homicides related to organized crime" was largely caused by an internal falling out between former allies in the Sinaloa cartel, Mexico's most powerful drug gang.
The current wave of killings, massacres and beheadings began at the start of 2008 when the Beltran-Leyva gang split from the main wing of the cartel led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman setting off battles between rival factions, the attorney general told reporters.
The increasingly gruesome slayings also come amid a massive government offensive against Mexico's drug cartels in which President Felipe Calderon has sent tens of thousands of soldiers to states plagued by drug gangs. Since Calderon took office on Dec. 1, 2006, a total of 8,150 people have died in such slayings.
Other contributing factors include long-standing disputes for control of drug trafficking routes, increased street-level drug dealing and leadership disputes following the arrest of some cartel lieutenants, law enforcement officials say.
Mexican law enforcement has also been hit by the biggest corruption scandal in a decade in recent months, as more than a dozen high-ranking officials in police and prosecutors' offices have been detained or charged for allegedly passing information to the cartels.
Medina Mora said the law enforcement cleanup, known as "Operation Clean House," had not affected U.S. confidence in Mexico's ability to fight drug traffickers, adding it had done "rather the opposite."
"This is not only not affecting the confidence and capacity to work together, it has even increased the level of cooperation and confidence," Medina Mora said.
Last week, the U.S. government released $197 million, the first installment of a $400 million aid package to support Mexico's police and soldiers in their fight against drug cartels.
On Monday, the Guerrero Public Safety Department said in a news release that 10 suspected traffickers and a soldier were killed in two gunbattles Sunday in the town of Arcelia. Authorities also found the bodies of three men who had been shot to death near Acapulco. Two other men were beheaded in Guerrero and two more men where shot to death.
In neighboring Michoacan state, the bodies of three men who had been missing since Thursday were found near the town of Zitacuaro. All three had been tortured and shot in the head, state investigators said in a statement.
Police in the northeast city of Monterrey said 10 banners alleging police corruption and federal protection of drug cartels were found Monday.
The banners, painted on white sheets in black and red ink, appeared outside various locations in Monterrey including the city's cathedral, a hospital and the town hall of San Nicolas, a Monterrey suburb.
Several of the messages were addressed to Calderon and alleged Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna is helping the Sinaloa drug cartel. Garcia Luna has rejected those allegations.

Staff writer 

HAYDEN -- It may have rained on their parade, but those in attendance were glad to be there. The city of Hayden hosted its second parade Saturday morning in honor of Veterans Day.

"We love you guys, God bless you," cheered The' Karpet Kitten' as the Color Guard, Company B 321 Engineer Battalion, marched down Government Way.

"I am just trying to keep their spirits up," she said, "I love our country."

Stan Davis and wife Jylene were visiting family in Post Falls from Salmon.

"I heard they were having a Veteran's Day parade, and I'm a very big supporter of the military and stand behind them 1,000 percent," Stan said.

Grand Marshall, Lt. Cmdr. Richard Obregon, of the U.S. Navy, rode by with his family waving to the handful of the faithful that had gathered -- despite the elements -- to honor their veterans.

"I just love the city of Hayden," said Obregon who had traveled extensively throughout the country with the military.

"The people here are special," he sid, "very open, unique and friendly."

Obregon worked both in the Army and Navy, and is currently stationed at the Spokane Military Entrance Processing Station.


Judy Allers, of Dalton Gardens, braved the rain with grandson Ross Chadderdon, 9.

"I admire what he does and thought I should come out and support him," said Allers of her husband, Pete, who was in the parade.

Don Jiran and his wife, Lisa, stood waving flags as the Young Marines of North Idaho marched past.

The Jirans were there to celebrate friend and fellow Coeur d'Alene police officer, Maj. William Wallace Connally, who was honored with Hayden's Distinguished Veteran Award.

"It's the least we can do," Lisa said.

With both fathers having served in the military, Don and Lisa are members of Coeur d'Alene Veterans of Foreign War, Post No. 889. Don spent time in the Navy.

"It's kind of embarrassing for the public to sit at home in a warm, dry house," said Don in reference to Saturday morning's thin crowd.

Karpet Kitten agreed.

"It brought a tear to my eye as always," she said. "I am kind of disappointed with the turnout. All they've done for us, and people can't come down and stand on the corner -- and the lack of children."

Following the parade, community leaders and parade attendees gathered in the Hayden City Hall to see Obregon and Connally acknowledged by Mayor Ronald McIntire.

"We're losing our World War II veterans on a daily basis," said Nancy Lowery, president of Hayden's City Council. "So to be able to have our Distinguished Veteran be a World War II veteran is really meaningful."

Lowery said she had recently lost her own father, a decorated veteran.

"I understand more and more, how much it means ... to be a part of our political system," she said. "It couldn't happen without the young men and women that go out and fight for us."

OMG!Barrys a scum magnet!</title><content type='html'>KarpetKitten reports a "sex pervert" was Sen. Barack Obama's longtime mentor and "father figure".

For seven years, the presidential candidate had a "father-son" relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, who has confessed to having sex with children, SADOMASACHISM,Bondage and practicing a wide array of DEVIANT sexual activities.
In his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father, Obama identifies his childhood mentor only as "Frank," but Obama insiders later confirmed he was referring to Davis, a journalist and poet who was a pal of Obama's maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham.
Frank Marshall Davis admitted in his private papers that he had secretly authored a hard-core pornographic autobiography called Sex Rebel: Black, published in 1968. The author of the book - a copy of which was been obtained by The ENQUIRER - is listed as "Bob Greene."  Davis later confessed to its authorship after a reader noticed similarities in style and phraseology between that book and Davis' poetry.
Davis confessed: "I could not truthfully deny that this book, which came out in 1968 as a Greenleaf Classic, was mine."
The appalling catalog of admitted real-life decadence is laced with perverted sexual activity, bisexuality, rape  - and the seduction of children. 
"Davis' admission he wrote this disturbing book exposes Obama's mentor as living a secret double life - and as a sexual pervert," disclosed a source.
In his shocking tell-all, Davis admits to seducing a thirteen year-old girl, voyeurism, exhibitionism, bisexuality, rape and sadomasochism. 
Barack, called "Barry" as a child, was a mere ten year old when he first met the family friend who lead a secret double life. 
Obama's grandfather introduced Barry and Davis because he believed it would help his alienated grandson identify with being of mixed heritage because Barack's mother, Ann, was a white American while his father, Barack Sr.black Kenyan.
Obama's parents separated and then divorced when Barack was only 2.  Ann remarried and took Barack to live with her and new husband Lolo Soetoro in Indonesia - but Barack was later sent to live with his white grandparents in Honolulu, Hawaii.  
Barack describes how Frank Davis had a lasting effect on him and became a father figure over the seven years they knew one another on the tropical island. 
In Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote: "He would read us poetry whenever we stopped by his house, sharing whiskey with Gramps out of an emptied jelly jar. 
"As the night wore on, the two of them would solicit my help in composing dirty limericks." 
Obama described being counseled by Frank often and recalled drinking whiskey with him.
Since Frank Davis has been identified as the author of Sex Rebel: Black, Obama has been extremely secretive about the true nature of his experience with the self-admitted deviant.
Obama also describes turning 2 Frank 4 counseling when he found out hid granny died had admitted 2 his grandad she had been scared by a panhandeler because he WAS BLACK! (OMG!!) AND he also recalls drinin  WHISKEY w/FRANK! Davis died in '87 at age 81. Barrys grandad died 5 yrs. later! Since Davis has been identified as the author of 'SEX REBEL:BLACK"  the Seantor O has been secrective (DUH!) about his experience  w/ the POET! Obamadinjad &amp; his fam have REFUSED 2 speak 2 anyone abt his link to DAVIS! (as usual),However,Davis' close (yuk!) peep Dawna Weatherly-Williams,said she met Obama when she was 10 yrs old @ Franks home!YUK! In another recent interview,mom of 3 Dawna,who calls davis DADDY!-admitted that while Davis "never REALY did DRUGS,Obama and Stan DID DRUGS,he &amp; Obamas  granddad did smoke pot 2gether!

DO U? read on...</title><content type='html'>Several months ago, during the primaries, Obama stated that his grandmother is a typical white person, who does not like and trust people who look different than she does. This is an insult to most white people. My husband and I lived in different states and overseas and always made friends with different ethnic folks, celebrated birthdays and other holidays together, had our daughter play with their children, etc. This also holds true for all the white people we know.

Sen. Obama cannot make us believe that he did not know, or never heard, his pastor, during the 20 years he has been acquainted with Jeremiah Wright, preach the black liberation theology that was founded in South America by communist Marxists. This theology teaches nothing but hate against white people, as we all have seen and heard on TV.

Why was Sen. Obama during his high school years attracted to Frank Marshall Davis, a staunch communist who became his mentor? Later on in Chicago, Saul Alinsky, another hard-line communist, became Obama's mentor. Bill Ayers stated in 2001 after our country was attacked that he should have bombed more places and Obama whitewashes that statement? Then, we all know of his longtime friend Rezko, a slum lord, who mismanaged millions in state and federal money to fix up the apartment complexes for poor people in Southern Chicago and now will be sentenced for 17 felony accounts. Why didn't Obama investigate this criminal while he was a state senator? Instead, he used him for his fundraising, and Rezko helped finance Obama's $1.6 million villa last year. During Obama's senator years, he voted in favor of late-term abortions, as well as to gun bans for legal citizens, who had a concealed weapon permit in order to defend themselves in their own home. He cannot make us believe that he is in favor of the Second Amendment.

In 2006, Sen. Obama (while already an elected official in Washington) traveled to Kenya, Africa, and campaigned for Raila Odinga, who claimed to be a Christian on the surface, but was promoting strict radical Muslim laws. However, we must remember that the incumbent president, who ran for re-election, a Christian, was also very pro-America and western countries. This man won by a slim margin and the supporters of Obama's friend, Odinga, murdered, sodomized and raped over 1,000 people, and many thousands were misplaced from their homes. Countless churches were also burned, but no mosques. Consequently, the re-elected president had to give Odinga a position in his government in order to stop the violence.

If Russia were to invade Alaska tomorrow, claiming that they used to own it, which is true, Obama would probably give it to them. If General Powell or Michael Steel, the former Lt. Governor of Maryland, who are both black, were to run, we would vote for them as president in a heartbeat.

BOISE -- A longtime sex offender was sentenced to death Wednesday for the 2005 kidnapping, torture and murder of a 9-year-old North Idaho boy after federal jurors who watched video of some of the brutality deliberated just three hours.

The jurors' recommendation was binding on U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge, who thanked them, dismissed them and then sentenced Joseph Edward Duncan III.
Relatives of the victim, Dylan Groene, remained somber as the jury's decision was announced. Duncan murdered Dylan's mother, older brother and his mother's fiance to kidnap him and his younger sister, who was sexually abused along with her brother, but survived.
Duncan showed no reaction other than smiling as the verdict was passed to the judge.
"We're happy with the verdict, but it's a shame -- this should have been limited to one death," said Steven Groene, the father of the children. "He should have had the courage and the guts to kill himself before killing anyone else."
Duncan took Dylan and the boy's then-8-year-old sister, Shasta, to a remote western Montana campsite where he raped, tortured and threatened them before shooting Dylan in the head and burning his body. Jurors viewed horrifying video Duncan made of him abusing Dylan.
"This defendant is dangerous. He is a predator who takes pride in his work," prosecutor Traci Whelan said. "He earned this day. His actions ... call out for the death penalty."
Duncan acted as his own attorney but had offered no response to prosecutors' closing argument.
"I have no argument," he told the court.
With an eye toward kidnapping the two children, Duncan stalked their family. In 2005 he entered their Coeur d'Alene-area home and used a hammer to kill their 13-year-old brother, Slade Groene, his mother, Brenda Groene, and her fiance, Mark McKenzie.
Duncan was arrested and Shasta rescued weeks after the kidnappings when a waitress at a Denny's in Coeur d'Alene called police after recognizing the two as they ate.
Duncan pleaded guilty in December to 10 federal charges involving the kidnappings and the murder of Dylan. He pleaded guilty to the other three murders in state court, where he also could be sentenced to death.
In closing arguments, Whelan reminded the jury of Duncan's lifelong "pattern of violence," including a conviction for raping a boy at gunpoint in 1980. Duncan has told investigators he killed two half-sisters from Seattle in 1996, and he is charged with killing a young boy in Riverside County, Calif., in 1997.
Duncan may now be brought to Riverside County to stand trial in the death of Anthony Martinez.
It's hard to tell if the end of the federal case will offer any comfort to Shasta, Steve Groene said.
"I can't speak for Shasta, I can't get inside her head," he said. "Possibly now we'll have to be dragged through a court proceeding in California. If they go ahead with the prosecution, it would be such as waste of taxpayer money because he'll never spend a day in a California prison."

Darlene Torres, Brenda Groene's mother, said she was glad the case was over.

"Justice has been served," Torres said. "It's been very painful."

She said that when she saw Duncan in court, "I seen nothing but an evil, empty, coldhearted shell."

"The jury speaks the mind of the community," U.S. Attorney Tom Moss said. "By the verdict today, they have given voice to the victims."

After the verdict, the jurors were whisked away from the federal courthouse in two white vans so they could avoid the phalanx of media covering the hearing.
The heinousness of the evidence in Dylan's murder made it particularly difficult for the jurors to remain impartial as they deliberated, said Art Patterson, a jury consultant and senior vice president of the trial consulting firm DecisionQuest.
"Generally, for human beings, it's pretty hard to maintain impartiality when confronted with such horror," Patterson said.
"How could any juror not want to see this person removed from our list of living human beings? How could you live with yourself as a juror if there's any chance this human being could escape from jail and do something like this again?" Patterson said.


~~Thank you jurors and judge, Now lets pray Shasta dont have 2 go to Cali &amp; Washington State. Her father Steve spoke thru his electronic vocal box after the sh*t hit the fan on Duncan,and he was fierce! We have had many convos about both of us wanting 2 kill this scumbag and I give Steve so much respect 4 being there every day looking that scumbag in the face. I thought Steve woulda jumped seats and tables 2 get to Duncan,the the great father and biker badd ass he is.Pray my kidz 4 them,Duncan admits to the 2 WA.

SPOKANE - In less than two hours a jury of 12 men and women decided that confessed killer Joseph Duncan was eligible for the death penalty for the murder of Dylan Groene.
Dylan, along with his sister Shasta, were abducted by Duncan from their family's home in Wolf Lodge Bay east of Coeur d'Alene in May of 2005 and held in a remote campsite in the woods of the Lolo National Forest in western Montana for several weeks.
Ever since winning the right to represent himself Duncan has taken a nearly hands-off approach to defending himself, at times supporting the prosecution's case and agreeing that he should be given the death penalty for the 10 felony charges he pled guilty to in the case late last year.
The capstone for Duncan's defense was his often-rambling closing arguments Friday morning where he raged against prosecutors, the jury and the system itself.
"You people really don't have any clue yet of the true heinousness of what I've done," he said. "I was not searching for a child, but rather I was on a rampage."
The jury's decision after roughly a week of testimony only caps the first of two phases in the sentencing trial.
Now that they have found him eligible for the death sentence the jury must now decide whether or not that should be his sentence. In order to get the death penalty the jurors must  agree unanimously; if just one juror disagrees then Duncan would receive an automatic life sentence.

~~~Here the news page link to all the info that went on in court and all the disgusting details.Be warned,esp this last weeks trial!

Independence Day -- Fourth of July. What is it we celebrate? It was the day in 1776 that our Declaration of Independence was signed. It was the day our Founding Fathers put their names on the document that declared to England that we would no longer submit to English rule.

The Founding Fathers "mutually pledged to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." Many of these men did lose their lives and fortunes during the war. None, however, lost their honor. By signing the Declaration of Independence they were considered traitors in the eyes of the king and subject to hanging should they be captured. Our country's independence was secured only after 11 years of bloody combat.

Independence Day is celebrated to honor our Founding Fathers and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who fought Britain to secure our freedom which we enjoy today. Britain at that time had the worlds largest and foremost army. It is also a time to say thank you to all the men and women who have served our nation in the past and those that serve today in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.
As you celebrate Independence Day be sure and remind your children the meaning of this day and the reason for the celebration.

An important symbol of our nation is our flag. Out of respect for our flag and for those who have fought to protect it and are fighting today to keep us free, it is common courtesy and proper flag etiquette to stand at attention, remove your hat and place your right hand over your heart when the flag passes by in a parade.

Please set a good example for your children and for those near you by standing and by placing your right hand over your heart. It is the very least we can do to honor our nation and those who have fought for our freedom. This is the greatest free nation the world has ever known.
Take time to send prayers and love to those fighting for us.Those who have lost life and limb and the families.We should all be thankful 4 their great sacrifices in our name As always show your thanks and respect to our vets and let 'em know how greatful you are! .My love to all of ya and have a safe weekend kidz! =^.^=

As members of the color guard lowered their rifles, the smell of bitter smoke drifted over the family and friends of former Army Sgt. Ellis Hale, a Vietnam War veteran who died of prostate cancer at age 59. Sniffles and gentle sobs accompanied a recording of taps.

Moments after the final note, Sherry Hale walked down a curved brick walkway past the saluting line of representatives of the country's past wars. Head bowed, she clutched to her chest the American flag that covered her husband's casket.

The scene at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery is repeated nationwide more than 100 times a day. Military veterans are being buried at such a rapid rate that national cemeteries use heavy equipment to make room.

"We're still in growth mode right now," said Bill Tuerk, under secretary for memorial affairs at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. "We're in a very high demand time period and we're trying to respond to it."

An average of 1,800 veterans die each day, and 10 percent of them are buried in the country's 125 national cemeteries, which are expected to set a record with 107,000 interments, including dependents, this year. And more national cemeteries are being built.

The peak year for veterans' deaths will be either 2007 or 2008, Tuerk said. An estimated 686,000 veterans died in 2007. While many World War II veterans are dying, so are an increased number of Korean War and Vietnam veterans.

Ohio Western Reserve, a 273-acre expanse south of Cleveland, opened in 2000 and has about 11,000 veterans and dependents buried there. It has enough land to keep it open 92 more years and accommodate a total of 106,000 burials.

Thirty-four veterans groups volunteer for services. Every seventh Thursday members of American Legion Post 548 from Louisville, Ohio, dressed in black coats, ties and pants with white belts, gloves and shoulder cords, come to pay tribute to fellow veterans.

One crisp spring morning, dozens of mourners for Hale more than filled the benches inside a stone open-air shelter tucked into a wooded corner.

Several jumped as the seven members of Post 548 fire the first of three volleys. The shell casings faintly ping and clatter as they landed on the brick walkway.

"Every time I fire, I say 'This is for you,'" says Navy veteran Dave Scanlon, choking up while referring to his father, "Skip," a World War II veteran who died in 1999.

Ohio Western Reserve averages 7 1/2 burials a day. The busiest national cemetery is Riverside National Cemetery, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. It averages about 30 burials, followed by Florida National Cemetery, 50 miles north of Tampa.

Third busiest is Calverton National Cemetery, about 50 miles east of Manhattan, although it has handled as many as 55 burials in a day, said Michael Picerno, director of Calverton National Cemetery in New York.

To accommodate so many burials, hundreds of crypts are preplaced at Calverton, then covered with dirt and grass. When it comes time for a burial, the sod is cut away, the crypt opened and the casket lowered in.

Six new national cemeteries are under construction under a fiscal year 2008 budget of $167.4 million, triple the previous year. It's the largest number of cemeteries constructed at one time.

Despite handling burials at an assembly-line pace, the National Cemetery Administration has the highest customer satisfaction score of any federal government agency and any private sector company, according to the University of Michigan's American Customer Satisfaction Index. It tops companies such as Heinz, Amazon.com, and Hershey's.

"We are ever-conscious of the fact that with each family we get one chance to get it right," Tuerk said.

Part of streamlining the process involved holding services at committal shelters _ open-air, gazebo-like structures _ instead of graveside. Calverton has seven shelters; Western Reserve has two.

After taps, two uniformed members of an Army honor guard, wearing white gloves, perform the third and final ritual _ the folding of the flag. They make each of the traditional 13 folds with precision as mourners look on in silence.

The flag was presented to Hale's wife of 36 years. She was seated on a bench in the front row.

"I feel so blessed to be an American and that America has furnished something like this for our soldiers. It gives you such a wonderful feeling," she said. "I feel proud."

A cemetery employee politely asked the mourners to leave the shelter so the next service could begin.

Men and women in dark suits and dresses, some holding hands or with arms around one another for comfort, climbed into their Fords and Buicks and slowly drove away.

 - STATESMAN STAFF
Edition Date: 05/09/08

A psychiatric evaluation of convicted child killer Joseph Edward Duncan III has been completed, and a federal judge could decide soon whether Duncan will be allowed to represent himself in his death penalty hearing.
A jury is expected to decide this summer whether Duncan should be imprisoned for life or executed for the kidnapping, abuse and slaying of young Dylan Groene in 2005. Duncan has already pleaded guilty to the crimes against Dylan and the kidnapping and abuse of his sister, Shasta Groene.

Duncan wants to represent himself, and U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge said he was inclined to grant Duncan's request but first wanted the mental competency evaluation.

Lodge said the evaluation would be kept under seal.

A Kootenai County Sheriff's deputy monitors traffic at the access point to a homicide scene that was being processed by investigators Thursday morning on Hayden Creek Road.
Man found dead on Hayden Creek Road

HAYDEN -- The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department is investigating the death of a man on Hayden Creek Road early Thursday following a woman's report that she killed him after he raped and stabbed her.

Sheriff deputies responded to a 911 call from the woman just before 5 a.m.

"She had taken his vehicle to escape the scene and used his cell phone to call 911," said Capt. Ben Wolfinger. "I couldn't say whose knife was used to stab him. I know she fought with him and was able to jump in the vehicle and head down the road."

Deputies discovered the man's body about two miles down the dirt road from the nearest house. The woman's name is not being released because she is an alleged rape victim. The man's body was taken to Spokane for an autopsy. His name will not be released until his next of kin is notified.

The woman was treated and released from Kootenai Medical Center Thursday.

"I think she had cuts on her hands -- multiple cuts," Wolfinger said.

The vehicle has been impounded and it is unknown why the two were on the dirt road.

"We'll be getting a search warrant to search the vehicle. That still has to be processed," Wolfinger said. "We're just collecting information and putting pieces of the puzzle together."


The investigation is ongoing.

"There's still lots of forensic evidence that needs to go to the labs," Wolfinger said.

"It could be several weeks before the final picture comes into place. Our goal here is to do it right and make sure we have all the evidence processed appropriately."

It was thought he was doing this to expedite his death penalty chances!BUT NOOOOOO...he just wants to get Shasta in his face and that pig may question sweet Shasta!

So this ass Tom Monaghan had some jail time in Ada County,while his 2 partners wrangled to get his stupid ass out! =^.^=~~~~~~               BOISE — Federal prosecutors have requested that the sentencing hearing for confessed child killer Joseph Duncan be closed to the public during testimony from one of his young victims, Shasta Groene, to protect her from emotional harm.

Prosecutors, who filed the motion Tuesday in U.S. District Court here, also are asking that the courtroom be closed while the jury is shown a graphic videotape Duncan made that prosecutors say shows him sexually abusing the then 8-year-old girl and her 9-year-old brother, Dylan. Duncan eventually shot and killed the boy with a sawed-off shotgun at a wilderness campsite in Montana.

The motion filed by U.S. Attorney Thomas Moss and Assistant U.S. Attorney Syrena Hargrove says that Shasta could be harmed if the public is not excluded and she's "forced to testify knowing that the whole world is watching and scrutinizing her every word and movement," which "is likely to be even more psychologically damaging."

Duncan, who could receive the death penalty, has asked to represent himself, creating the possibility that he may question Shasta during the hearing.

Duncan, a convicted pedophile originally from Tacoma, pleaded guilty in December to 10 federal charges in the May 2005 kidnapping of the children from their Coeur d'Alene home and Dylan's death. Three of those crimes can carry the death penalty.

He earlier pleaded guilty in state court to murdering 13-year-old Slade Groene, his mother Brenda Groene and her fiance Mark McKenzie at the Groene home before driving away with the two children.

Shasta was rescued when Duncan took her back to Coeur d'Alene, where they stopped to eat at a restaurant on July 2, 2005. A waitress recognized Shasta and called police.

The motion was filed in response to a legal memorandum filed earlier this month by 16 media and open-government organizations, The Spokesman-Review newspaper of Spokane reported.

The group has told U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge that the public has a constitutional right to be present in the courtroom.

The 10-page legal brief filed by prosecutors notes that society has a "strong interest in protecting young victims of violent crime from further psychological harm," matched against an equally "strong interest in ensuring the accuracy and completeness of testimony."

But prosecutors argue the possible harm to Shasta outweighs reasons for keeping the courtroom open.

Duane Swinton, a Spokane attorney representing The Spokesman-Review and others, said closing the courtroom will not protect Shasta because she would still have to testify in front of Duncan, the jury, attorneys, Lodge, and other court personnel.



"The media has suggested a reasonable alternative to Shasta testifying in an open courtroom and that is having her testify by closed circuit television where she would be in another room," Swinton said.

Swinton also said the brief filed by prosecutors revealed that documents were filed secretly, going back to July of last year, arguing for closing portions of the trial.

"And yet this discussion has been going without any public notice or input until the recent briefing we filed," he said.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys are forbidden to discuss the case outside of court under a gag order issued by Lodge.

Jury selection for the sentencing hearing is currently delayed while Duncan undergoes a mental evaluation, after which Lodge will decide if Duncan is competent to represent himself. Lodge has indicated he's inclined to let Duncan serve as his own attorney.

COEUR d'ALENE -- The U.S. Navy says somebody got their signals crossed when it came to honoring veterans.

The Navy claims it never blocked its personnel from accepting commemorative Buck Knives as a "thank you" for serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Unfortunately, it was a misunderstanding and the word got out wrong," Navy spokesman Adam Bashaw said in a phone interview from New Orleans. "We wanted to hold off until we made sure everything was above board. It's always great when people support the troops returning back home."

Roughly 40 reservists are set to get the special knives at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Buck Knives manufacturing plant in Post Falls.

Graham Crutchfield, a retired Marine, organized the commemorative knife program and said he was elated with the Navy's decision.

"It's such a relief," Crutchfield said Tuesday. "I am glad they'll get the recognition they deserve."

Lt. Troy Gilbert previously said an unidentified senior Naval officer told a member of the U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion based out of Hayden, the knives exceeded a $20 value. That amount exceeds the U.S. Department of Defense's limit on gifts.

Navy Capt. Michael Kidd sent Post Falls Mayor Clay Larkin an e-mail that outlines the Department of Defense's reasoning behind allowing the gift program to continue.


"The current offer is a continuation of this practice and reflects an intent on the part of the donors to make these gifts available to a broad class of personnel returning from deployment," the military opinion states. "Gifts offered by non-prohibited sources to a group of personnel that do not distinguish on the basis of official responsibility or favor higher rank or pay may be accepted by those personnel. This exception applies when all members of a particular unit are offered gifts, which appears to be the case in this instance."

Gilbert said Tuesday that he was pleased with the Navy's ruling on the knives.

"We're getting the desired end result regardless of what it took to get here," Gilbert said. "The guys are going to get the recognition they deserve."

Crutchfield helped raise money for the knives from individuals, service clubs and businesses. More than 500 Inland Northwest veterans, including those wounded and killed in combat, have received special knives since the program's inception in 2005.

        RULE PLACES A $20 LIMIT ON GIFTS!!!!       COEUR d'ALENE -- As far as the U.S. Navy is concerned, the Buck stops here.

Veterans of the Iraq War are being told they can't receive a commemorative Buck knife as a "thank you" for their service and sacrifice.

"Someone put up a red flag and said we can't do it," said Lt. Troy Gilbert, a member of the U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion based out of Hayden. "There's a $20 limit in value that a service member can accept as a gift. These knives are valued at $103."

Gilbert said roughly 40 reservists were going to each receive a special knife made by Buck Knives during an April 5 ceremony.

"I am trying to see what can be done," Gilbert said. "I know the Navy JAG is looking at the legality of it. We might be able to get around this rule."

Graham Crutchfield, a retired Marine, organized the commemorative knife program by raising money for the knives and is incensed with the Navy's edict.

"It makes no sense and it defies logic," Crutchfield said. "A private citizen can't give one of our troops a gift for putting their lives at risk because of some bureaucratic nonsense. It's an insult to the American people."

The problem began when Gilbert was trying to get some positive publicity from the Navy on the program. His efforts backfired when a senior officer said the gifts violated Navy regulations.


"A lot of people have the 'Can't do attitude,'" Gilbert said.

More than 500 Inland Northwest veterans, including those wounded in combat, have received special knives since the program's inception in 2005.

"We haven't had any problems with any of the services until now," Crutchfield said. "All of the funds are contributed from folks who live in the area. We've had individuals, businesses, and service clubs make donations so that we as a people can express our appreciation for what these youngsters are going through on behalf of our children and grandchildren."

CJ Buck, president and CEO of Buck Knives, said he was amazed by the Navy's decision to forbid its personnel from receiving the special knives.

"I had no idea it would be a problem," Buck said. "Here's an individual trying to honor soldiers. It seems to be a shame."

According to the Congressional Research Service, last week's was the sixth secret session since 1812 for the House. Before 1929 the Senate routinely conducted business in closed session; since 1929 there have been 53. Modern practice is to close proceedings to discuss confidential information, impeachment deliberations, sensitive information from the president, and national security/military issues.

Meetings of the Constitutional Congress and Convention were held in secret. Closed sessions are authorized by Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution. Any member of Congress can call one, and those who attend are forbidden to publicly divulge what went on. However, on occasion the members vote to have some portion of the transcript published in the congressional record.

Since 1812, the closed sessions of the House have been to consider relations with Indian tribes (1825), a bill regarding trade with Britain (1830), the Panama Canal Act (1979), Cuban involvement in Nicaragua (1980), U. S.-supported paramilitary ops in Nicaragua (1983), and electronic surveillance legislation (2008).

Since 1929, the Senate has met secretly on many topics, including contempt and impeachment (judicial and presidential), investigations of government contracts, military policies and war reports, WMDs, intelligence operations, unnamed legislation, trade with China, vaguely identified national security issues, and aircraft/other sales to certain countries.

Thursday night's came after several weeks of deadlock over the surveillance legislation, mainly retroactive immunity for telecom companies who aided the government in questionable wiretaps. Two versions of the bill amending current law (FISA) existed -- one passed by the Senate and supported by the president that included the immunity, and the other introduced in the House without it. Friday morning the House passed the version without the immunity.

The states of Washington and Kansas, the two largest manufacturers of Boeing planes, have risen up in wrath against the government's awarding all this work for perhaps the next decade to a company in France, when the economy in our own country is presently in a recession, and probably headed for a depression under the present administration.

Awarding contracts to firms with European ties is not unusual. Large military contracts have been manufactured in Italy as well as in Germany over the past decade.

Let us take a look at the background of this contract. It was only a few months ago that Boeing entered into a contract to lease 100 air tankers to the Air Force for a period of 20 years, after which time the planes would still be owned by Boeing. Sen. McCain was probably the only senator objecting to this leasing arrangement, since he felt that the Air Force should own the tankers, since the purpose of these new planes was to replace the Air Force's aging KC-135 tankers presently more than half a century old, with the oldest of them stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane. The Fairchild planes would be the first ones replaced if this new contract proceeds.

However, the leasing contract was turned down by the government because all of a sudden, an investigation showed that the key chief Air Force Procurement officer was being paid to make sure that Boeing received that contract -- further, she was to be hired by Boeing at a six-figure salary upon her forthcoming retirement from the Air Force.

Both she and Boeing's chief officer who had arranged this sweet deal are serving time in federal prison today.

Naturally, due to this history, Boeing's bid on the replacement air tankers was rejected. A new contract with more stringent requirements was put out for bid. When the bids came in, the successful firm, with its French partner, met the higher requirements in four out of five major components of the bid and tied Boeing on the fifth.

All hell is breaking loose at this moment. Labor leaders are saying we need the jobs in this country more than France needs the jobs. They are saying also that Boeing is one of the finest military aircraft builders in the U.S.; that France for years has heavily subsidized its industries, including Airbus. Because of the subsidies to French farmers, Great Britain for years refused to become a part of the European Union.

It was only half a century ago when I was in the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ships that the Navy gave out a bid for destroyers to a French shipbuilding firm. The arguments then were very similar to those of today except that the French government had known Communists as ministers in their government, and we at the time were still in the heyday of McCarthyism. The Navy was obliged to back down because of the uproar in this country.


But should we back down on the present air tanker contract? Should we reward corporations who lie, cheat and commit criminal acts to win military contracts? I, for one, felt that Boeing should not have been allowed even to bid on this contract at all. Boeing, which once had a splendid record of quality products and quality work a number of years ago, sort of lost its way when old officers retired, new ones took over and moved the headquarters from Seattle to Chicago; when they expanded into all sorts of military fields.

Prior to that time, military contracts had been a very small part of Boeing's business. Should we reward a company that presently holds three large military contracts, but has had cost overruns of many billions of dollars? Should we reward a company that has been responsible for shoddy workmanship on part of a fence being built for national security purposes between Mexico and the Arizona/Texas border?

Should we reward a company which doesn't care about either its employees or their morale, or the quality of the work it puts out, but only the size of its bottom line? It has been only a very few years since, my very good friend visited a friend in Seattle who is retired from a very responsible job with Boeing. He toldthem that the company is no longer the same. He has two sons plus two sons-in-law presently working at Boeing, all of whom say they no longer have any pride in their company, nor have they any faith in the product they produce.

The forthcoming presidential election of 2008 is all about change -- change in the way we do business; changing from corporate control of the federal government to a people-controlled federal government. How can we expect to change the corporations as long as we kowtow to them on the basis of more jobs temporarily, rather than the morality of a good job done, backed by a corporation's hard-earned good name?

Yes, Mr. Bush; let's create your legacy and accept the fact that the government should be run by the people, for the people, and not by the corporations, for the purpose of fattening their own bottom lines. The good you are doing in Africa won't wipe out the harm you have done to this country by your corporate-controlled government.

 ~~Here are some interesting presidential facts 4 you~~~
R• Vice presidents were the presidential candidates receiving the second-largest number of electoral votes until the Twelfth Amendment was passed in 1804, changing the system so the electoral college voted separately for president and vice president. Gradually the presidential candidate was allowed at least informally to choose his own running mate at the nominating convention.

• For two years the nation was led by a president and vice president who were not elected by the people. When Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned in 1973, President Nixon appointed Gerald Ford as vice president. Nixon resigned the following year, which left Ford as president. Ford appointed Nelson Rockefeller as VP.

• Nine presidents never attended college: Washington, Jackson, Van Buren, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, A. Johnson, Cleveland and Truman.

• Harvard boasts the most alumni as presidents (six, but with varying grade point averages): J. Adams, J.Q. Adams, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt, Kennedy and G.W. Bush. Wilson was the only president with a Ph.D.

• The ancestry of all presidents so far is limited to the following seven European heritages: Dutch, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Swiss or German -- out of balance with a cross-section of the people they represent.

• The height of presidents has ranged between 5'4" (Madison) and 6'4" (Lincoln)

• Fourteen -- about a third -- served as vice presidents: J. Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson, Arthur, T. Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman, Nixon, L. Johnson, Ford and George Bush.


• Adams, Jefferson and Monroe all died on the Fourth of July; Coolidge was born on that day. Adams and Jefferson also died the same year: the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

• Harrison delivered the longest inaugural address at 1 hour, 45 minutes. He also had the shortest presidency: one month.

• While in the primaries and caucuses much emphasis is placed on larger states such as California, Florida and New York, others can also be important. No Republican has ever won a presidential election without carrying Ohio.

If everything is on schedule, the nearly finished USS New York, built with salvage from the World Trade Center, will be commissioned soon. She will sail as a permanent memorial to all who lost their lives as a result of 9/11.

The 684-foot warship has been under construction by Northrop Grumman since 2004, after being awarded the contract late in 2003. Twenty-four tons of steel from the World Trade Center wreckage was melted to cast the bow stem. The bow stem is the foremost part of a ship; it cuts first through the water and provides hull integrity.

While she's not the first ship named for the state of New York, her naming did not originate in the normal fashion. Shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, Gov. George Pataki asked the secretary of the U.S. Navy to bestow the name USS New York on a surface warship involved in the war on terror, to honor the victims. The request was approved the following year. The ship is scheduled for a commission ceremony on March 1 in Avondale, La., with official delivery to the Navy in 2009.

The namesake and steel of this San Antonio-class amphibious ship are not its only milestones. Sea vessels are built space-efficient, and civilians who've toured retired military ships know how tight it feels to move around. The USS New York's design has been modified, so sailors can navigate throughout her more easily and more quickly.

"Electronically, we took the average Marine in full battle gear and ran them through the passageways of a three-dimensional model," said Woody Oge, site director of New Orleans Operations, NGSS, in a military press release. "(W)hat we found in the initial design was we had to do some slight tweaking of piping system and power distribution or move certain systems, so we have a Marine move through the passageways unencumbered. This was done throughout the ship."

San Antonio-class ships embark, transport, and land elements of an assault landing force by helicopters, vertical take-off and landing aircraft, air cushion landing craft, and amphibious vehicles. The USS New York is designed to deliver a fully equipped battalion of 700 Marines.

The ship is certainly formidable, with four 40,000-horsepower engines, two missile launchers, and surface threat weapons. Built in the New Orleans area, she already survived hurricane Katrina. Her motto is "Never forget."

JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.

I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things I can correct and accept those I cannot.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I'll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.

Just for today, I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I'm a smoker, I'll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully -- if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it's only around the block.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.
And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by I.J. Bhatia, a reader who lives in New Delhi, India:

DEAR ABBY: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say: "Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature."

The following prayer of Saint Francis contains a powerful message:

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;

"Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

"Where there is injury, pardon;

"Where there is doubt, faith;

"Where there is despair, hope;

"Where there is darkness, light;

"Where there is sadness, joy;

"O Divine Master, grant that I may not as much seek to be consoled as to console;

"To be loved as to love.

"For it is in giving that we are pardoned;

"It is in dying that we are born to eternal life."

And so, Dear Readers, may this New Year bring with it peace and joy. -- LOVE, ABBY

By Emanuella Grinberg
Court TV
A 9-year-old girl was spared the ordeal of reliving her family's massacre after the man accused in the murders pleaded guilty Monday in a deal with Idaho prosecutors.
 
On the day jury selection was supposed to begin in convicted sex offender Joseph Duncan's death penalty trial, Duncan instead pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of kidnapping for the deaths of Brenda Groene, 40, her son Slade, 13, and Brenda's boyfriend Mark McKenzie, 37, in May 2005.

As the sole survivor of the attack, Shasta Groene was expected to testify as a key witness for the state. But the plea deal ensures that Shasta will not have to face the man she claims kidnapped and molested her and her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, after the murders.

Duncan was arrested in July 2005 at a Denny's restaurant outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where a waitress spotted him with Shasta. Dylan's remains were discovered later at a campsite in Montana.

"Because Duncan's guilty pleas cannot be withdrawn, Shasta will never be required to relive the events of 2005 in a courtroom," Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney William Douglas said in a press release. "This case has left deep scars, and hopefully, this agreement will bring justice and closure to our community."

In an agreement reached over the weekend, Duncan, 43, will receive three consecutive life sentences on the kidnapping charges, which stem from the manner in which Duncan detained the victims before their deaths. His sentencing on the murder charges has been delayed until the completion of his case in federal court for crimes that allegedly occurred against Shasta and Dylan Groene after they were kidnapped from the family's home.

 
Duncan could still face the death penalty when he is formally indicted in federal court. Duncan's federal public defender, Roger Peven, told CourtTVnews.com that he expects an indictment later this week.

As part of the agreement, Douglas also entered into the record a factual basis for the plea detailing the bloody crime scene that authorities discovered on May 16, 2005.

"Slade was face down, dressed only in underwear. His head lay at the feet of his mother, Brenda," Douglas wrote. "His bludgeoned head lay in a blood pool."

Both Brenda and Slade Groene were found lying face-down with their hands bound behind them with zip-ties. Brenda's feet were also bound with duct tape.

"Beneath her head was a blanket saturated with blood and other skull matter," Douglas wrote.

Mark McKenzie was also bound at the wrists and ankles with zip-ties. All three victims died from multiple blunt traumas to their heads.

According to the document, Shasta told police that Duncan tied her up, tied up her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, and brought them outside, where she could hear McKenzie yelling in pain. She said she saw Slade walking around "acting injured."

She said Duncan told her he had been staking out the family's home for at least two days before he launched his attack with the goal of abducting the two younger children.

After Duncan's arrest, police seized several items from his rented Jeep Cherokee, including McKenzie's wallet, a bag of zip-ties, a sawed-off shotgun, handwritten letters signed Dylan and Shasta, a digital camera and a laptop.

Douglas' agreement also requires that Duncan provide authorities with the encryption code to access secure files on the computer.

"We're satisfied with the negotiated settlement that was reached on Mr. Duncan's behalf," Duncan's public defender, John Adams, told CourtTVnews.com.

LARRY CRAIG: ITS RAINING MEN! What do Larry &amp; Ted Haggard have in common? SAME GAY HOOKER!OMG!</title><content type='html'>: 8 Men Claim Encounters With Craig
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Eight men say they either had sex with Sen. Larry Craig or were targets of sexual advances by the Idaho lawmaker at various times during his political career, a newspaper reported.
One of the men is the former escort whose allegations disgraced the Rev. Ted Haggard, former president of the National Association of Evangelicals, the Idaho Statesman reported Sunday.
The newspaper identified four men and reported details of the encounters they say involved Craig. It also reported the accounts of four other men who did not agree to be identified but who described sexual advances or encounters involving the conservative Republican, who opposes same-sex marriage and has a strong record against gay rights.
Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after being accused by an undercover officer of soliciting sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport and later called a news conference to deny that he is gay.
The newspaper acknowledged that its report was not based on definitive evidence but said it also found no evidence to disprove the accounts of the four identified men. It said it reviewed the senator's travel records, which put him where the sex is alleged to have taken place, and did background checks on those making the allegations.
Craig and members of his staff declined to comment to the newspaper.
But in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press on Sunday, the senator said the newspaper's report was "completely false" and he accused the paper of careless journalism.
"It is unfortunate that the Idaho Statesman has chosen to continue to lower itself to the standards of what can best be described as tabloid journalism," Craig said in the statement.
"Despite the fact the Idaho Statesman has decided to pursue its own agenda and print these falsehoods without any facts to back them up, I won't let this paper's attempt to malign my name stop me from continuing my work to serve the people of Idaho."
The report is the Statesman's latest on allegations about Craig's sexual background since his June arrest in an airport men's room sex sting operation was reported in late August.
Statesman Editor Vicki Gowler said the newspaper spent several months checking the backgrounds and details of the men's stories.
"We believe it's important for you to know what we've learned and to hear the men's own words," Gowler said.
Two of the identified men and one of the unidentified men told the newspaper they had sex with Craig.
One of the men identified in the report, Mike Jones, 50, described as a former male escort, was the focus of the sex scandal involving Haggard, the disgraced leader of Colorado's New Life Church.
Jones said Craig paid him $200 for sex in late 2004 or early 2005. The encounter took place at a studio apartment in downtown Denver, Jones said.
Jones told the Statesman that he did not recognize Craig until his arrest made the news. The newspaper reported that Jones went on the record after Craig appeared in a television news report in August to address the arrest and his future in politics.
Jones has written a book about his experience with Haggard and acknowledged to the Statesman that his allegation about Craig might help sales. A message left for Jones by The Associated Press through his publisher Sunday evening was not immediately returned.
Current phone numbers could not be found for the three other men identified in the Statesman's report.
Amid pressure from top GOP leaders in Washington, Craig announced his intent to resign from the Senate. He later changed his mind, deciding to finish out his term, which expires in January 2009. He is also appealing in Minnesota courts to have his guilty plea overturned.
The undercover police officer who arrested Craig said the senator moved his foot next to the officer's foot and tapped it in a way that indicated he wanted sex. He also alleged the senator sent a signal by swiping his hand under the divider between men's room stalls.
Craig has said the officer misconstrued those motions.

I want to share a prayer with ya'll.                                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~        Oh,Heavenly Father,                                                                                                                                                                                                     We thank thee for food and remember the hungry.

On this Veterans Day, some news
That should make us all ashamed
And there's plenty to go around
To all those who should be blamed.

Though, it's really not, new news
The bad way, we treat our Vets
In this Land, that they keep Free
That's about as low as it gets.

We should have NO homeless
In this richest Land on Earth
But especially not, those who served
Like they have outlived, their worth.

That's the way some are treated
Once, they put away their gun
They serve and fight in our Wars
Then, cast aside when War is done.

Today, we are still at War
But many Heroes who just fought
Are already living on the street
And we don't give it a second thought.

Shame on us, America
To treat our Vets this way
Shame on our so-called leaders
Whose folks, aren't those who pay.

“Heroes”, when we need them
“Homeless”, much too soon
A little help, is all they need
They're not asking for the Moon.

Giving them, what we promised
And to fulfill, our obligation
For when we don't keep our word
It leaves a blight upon our Nation.

A Hero is still a Hero
Whether in uniform or not
And between us and oppression
These Heroes are all we've got.

Service should be mandatory
For each American citizen
With no excuses, pay their debt
For living in this great Nation.

If all the rich and powerful
Had to send their young to serve
You can bet, most every Vet
Would get, all that they deserve.

So, when you see those homeless
Just know, that one in four
Served our Nation Honorably
And we owe them so much more.

THROWAWAY SOLDIERS

With the one hand they seem to give
And with the other, take away
“We always will support our Troops!”
But, they don’t do what they say.

They promise all those benefits
As you Raise your hand and Swear
To Do Your Duty, Serve Your Country
Anytime, and Anywhere.

You keep your end of the Bargain
And Follow Orders to a tee
Even lay your Life on the Line
So that others might be Free.

You don’t ask for a whole lot
Just to be treated with Respect
Promises kept and Honesty
From those People you Protect.

But, too often those in Power
Will Betray you without Shame
Break those Vows they made
Like it was only just a Game.

It’s called, “Throwaway Soldiers”
And the Vets will always lose
Because you Play by the Rules
While they will Play as they chose.

Del “Abe” Jones

VETERAN'S DAY, 2007

Another year we've been at War
And a record year, of Heroes killed
Will our hopes for an end to it
Never, ever be fulfilled?

The cost has been tremendous
And surely, they don't tell us all
Worse, loss of life and mind and limb
As our Troops, continue to fall.

Some, deployed several times
More, than we should rightly ask
But, they will go and do their Duty
To carry out, their given task.

Nearly four thousand gave their all
Almost thirty thousand hurt
Who tried to bring some civility
To that far-a-way, ancient, desert.

Many folks are against the War
And there's some who do protest
But one thing most all, agree on
Our Military, is the very best.

Let's not forget families and loved ones
All, who serve our Country, too
Who sacrifice and suffer for us
With Patriotism, proud and true.

Some of them will lose their Heroes
And will hurt and cry and grieve
And when handed that folded Flag
They will say, "I still believe!"

Maybe, "Mission accomplished!"
One day, will actually be true
But, till then, we must support them
And tell them, "Thanks, for all you do!"
And we must remember all those
Who served our Country in the past
To make our Nation Free
And to make sure it will last.

NOVEMBER 11TH

There are so many little towns
That make up this great nation
And the heroes from them
Boggle the imagination.

Those who answer the call
In peace and wartime's strife
Who give of themselves
So, we can live this life.

Some go and fight those wars
Some die, some hurt, survive
But all that they believe in
Is what keeps freedom alive.

It is all those little towns
And people who live there
Who stand and fight for freedom
For people, everywhere.

Somebodys dad or brother
Husband, daughter or son
Mother, sister, cousins
We all, know someone.

Who, when freedom was threatened
Here at home, around the world
Were determined to insure
Freedoms flag remained unfurled.

They believe and fight for
The things this world needs
They might not always win
But they will have planted seeds.

In time of peace or conflict
There is always a price to pay
And today, we pay them tribute
On this Veterans Day.VETERANS DAY 2002

Well, here we are, once again
With Veterans, in heart and mind
Still trying to heal, from 9/11
Facing Saddam, and his kind.

With a new War, looming
And the one that we now fight
Our Soldiers and our Nation
Willing , to do whats right.

Its not something, we want
But, something, that we must
As long as we, all believe
Our cause, is true and just.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8414718-5530357608782078893?l=karpetkitten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/feeds/5530357608782078893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8414718&amp;postID=5530357608782078893' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/5530357608782078893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/5530357608782078893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/2007/11/veterans-day-thoughts-2007.html' title='VETERANS DAY THOUGHTS 2007'/><author><name>Karpet Kitten =^.^=</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03789509442581048251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://www.wtv-zone.com/Lasher/images/patriotic.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414718.post-3504586168810772833</id><published>2007-11-12T08:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-12T08:47:22.564-08:00</updated><title type='text'>OUR AMERICAN FLAG : WHY ITS FOLDED 13 TIMES.... HAPPY VETERANS DAY</title><content type='html'>FLAG: Why is it folded 13 times?

In the armed forces of the United States, at the ceremony of the retreat, the flag lowered, folded in a triangle fold and kept under watch throughout the night as a tribute to our nation's honored dead.

The next morning it is brought out, and at the ceremony of reveille, run aloft as a symbol of our belief in the resurrection of the body.

1. The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.

2. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life. 


3. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.

4. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.

5. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong."

6. The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

7. The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.

8. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on Mother's Day.

9. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.

10. The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born.

11. The 11th fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

12. The 12th fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our nation's motto, "In God We Trust."

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges and freedoms we enjoy today.

According to a veteran group, the meaning of the folding of the flag is not in the Federal Flag Code. The code does not call for a ceremonial folding of the flag and the folding procedure was traditional. Same for the meanings of the folds. Nobody seems to know when or where that originated or who wrote it. Official or not, the statement has gained status as the traditional meaning of the folds and was found in many governmental and military manuals and even today is recited at numerous military funerals.

Judy Clarke, former director of the Federal Defenders of Eastern Washington and Idaho, helped keep Kaczynski, Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph and Susan Smith, convicted of killing her two children in a South Carolina lake, off death row.

Clarke filed paperwork in U.S. District Court in Idaho on Friday asking that all documents in Duncan's case be sent to her. She left her post at the Spokane-based nonprofit federal defender organization in 2002 after accepting a newly created position as a roving federal defender specializing in death penalty cases.

Duncan has already pleaded guilty in Idaho state court to killing members of the Groene family at their Coeur d'Alene area home in May 2005, so that he could kidnap two children for sex. Brenda Groene; her fiancé, Mark McKenzie, and her 13-year-old son, Slade Groene, were fatally bludgeoned with a hammer.

In his upcoming federal death-penalty case, Duncan is accused of kidnapping Brenda Groene's two youngest children and later killing one of them. Prosecutors say Dylan Groene, 9, was killed at a remote Montana campsite. Shasta Groene, 8, was rescued weeks later and was the attack's lone survivor.

The federal case concentrates on events that occurred in Montana after Shasta and Dylan Groene were abducted.

Clarke didn't immediately return a phone message left at her office in California today. Roger Peven, who succeeded Clark, also didn't return phone calls.

U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge has ordered those involved in the case not to speak publicly about the proceedings.

Colleagues described Clarke as a "one-woman Dream Team" after she helped defend Susan Smith, the South Carolina mom who avoided a death sentence after being convicted of drowning her two little boys in the mid-1990s.

Clarke also helped Kaczynski avoid a death sentence for his deadly decade-spanning letter-bomb spree. Two years ago, she helped spare Rudolph's life when he pleaded guilty to the deadly 1996 Olympic park bombing in Atlanta, a fatal 1998 abortion clinic blast in Birmingham, Ala., and two other bombings in Atlanta in 1997.

In October 2006, Duncan pleaded guilty in Idaho's 1st District Court to first-degree murder and kidnapping for the three slayings at the family's home. A state judge sentenced Duncan to life in prison without parole for the kidnappings, but sentencing on the murder counts was deferred while the federal government prepared its charges.

Depending on what happens in the federal case, Duncan could still face the death penalty in state court.

Duncan has also been charged in a California court in the 1997 slaying of Anthony Martinez, 10, in California. Prosecutors there have said they also intend to seek the death penalty. He's also a suspect in two 1996 killings in Washington state.



~~~~~  =^.^=  I am sick 2 my stomach over this bee-otch trying to save some scumbum like this after what he did here, and apparently other states.And you may say and roll your eyes that everyone deserves a fair trial.DUNCAN MUST DIE.Plain and simple.Just a side note sweet Shasta is doing well (as can be) and thriving DISPITE the fact DUNCAN killed her whole friggin family. Lets all pray this is the lawyers BIGGEST LOSS EVER! =^.^=  ~~~

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Curtis Carnahan is convinced his son did nothing wrong. He's also certain the horror of war is to blame for the legal troubles facing Sgt. Evan Vela, a U.S. Army sniper who was serving in Iraq. 
    Military officials don't see it the same way. 
    This summer, Vela and two other soldiers were charged with crimes related to the April and May shooting deaths of unarmed Iraqi men and subsequent efforts to cover it up. 
    On Friday, a military panel acquitted U.S. Army Spc. Jorge G. Sandoval on charges he killed two unarmed Iraqis, but it convicted him of planting evidence on one of the men in attempt to cover justify the actions. 
    Army lawyers say Vela took part in the May shooting, placed a weapon on the man's remains, made false statements to investigators and obstructed justice. 
    Vela testified in Sandoval's trial in Baghdad this week, but will be tried separately. 
    Carnahan, 44, said it's unbelievable his son could be charged with such crimes during a war. 
    "If we're going to start prosecuting our soldiers for this type of thing, we might as well just roll the whole show up," Carnahan told the Post-Register before leaving this week for Iraq, where he intends to testify in his son's upcoming preliminary hearing. 
    "It's absolutely wrong to

prosecute soldiers who are in combat," he said. 
    Vela, 23, a native of St. Anthony and graduate of Rigby High School, is a sniper with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, based at Fort Richardson, Alaska. 
    Before his deployment to Iraq, Vela lived with his wife, Alyssa Vela, and two children in Anchorage, Alaska. 
    The investigation into the shootings began when two soldiers complained that members of their unit were planting weapons on targets to make the killings appear legitimate. Testimony at preliminary hearings has attempted to discredit the motivation of those soldiers. 
    Lawyers hired by Carnahan argued in court documents this week that some of the snipers in Vela's unit were aware of a classified program that allows sharpshooters to bait targets with suspicious items, such as detonation wire, before firing. 
    Defense lawyer Gary Myers said Vela was simply following orders, doing his job as he was told to do it. 
    An Army spokesman declined to comment on the program, but said there are no classified methods that authorize the killing of Iraqi nationals or use planted weapons to justify the deaths. 
    The financial and emotional price of defending his son is taking a toll, Carnahan said. 
    The retainer to hire Myers exceeded Carnahan's annual salary working for a printing company in Idaho Falls. Carnahan said he has taken out a second mortgage on his home. Friends also have set up a trust fund at a local bank to handle donations for Vela's legal defense. 
    Carnahan acknowledges the legal odds appear stacked against his son, but he's not ready to give up. 
    "One of his biggest concerns is he wanted to know if he could stay in the Army when this is over with, which I think speaks very highly of his character and his desire to continue with the military," Carnahan said.

Wounded Soldiers: the Price of War
TEMECULA, Calif. (AP) -- He was one of America's first defenders on Sept. 11, 2001, a Marine who pulled burned bodies from the ruins of the Pentagon. He saw more horrors in Kuwait and Iraq.

Today, he can't keep a job, pay his bills, or chase thoughts of suicide from his tortured brain. In a few weeks, he may lose his house, too.

Gamal Awad, the American son of a Sudanese immigrant, exemplifies an emerging group of war veterans: the economic casualties.

More than in past wars, many wounded troops are coming home alive from the Middle East. That's a triumph for military medicine. But they often return hobbled by prolonged physical and mental injuries from homemade bombs and the unremitting anxiety of fighting a hidden enemy along blurred battle lines. Treatment, recovery and retraining often can't be assured quickly or cheaply.

These troops are just starting to seek help in large numbers, more than 185,000 so far. But the cost of their benefits is already testing resources set aside by government and threatening the future of these wounded veterans for decades to come, say economists and veterans' groups.

"The wounded and their families no longer trust that the government will take care of them the way they thought they'd be taken care of," says veterans advocate Mary Ellen Salzano.

How does a war veteran expect to be treated? "As a hero," she says.

---

Every morning, Awad needs to think of a reason not to kill himself.

He can't even look at the framed photograph that shows him accepting a Marine heroism medal for his recovery work at the Pentagon after the terrorist attack.

It might remind him of a burned woman whose skin peeled off in his hands when he tried to comfort her.

He tries not to hear the shrieking rockets of Iraq either, smell the burning fuel, or relive the blast that blew him right out of bed.

The memories come steamrolling back anyway.

"Nothing can turn off those things," he says, voice choked and eyes glistening.

He stews alternately over suicide and finances, his $43,000 in credit card debt, his $4,330 in federal checks each month - the government's compensation for his total disability from post-traumatic stress disorder. His flashbacks, thoughts of suicide, and anxiety over imagined threats - all documented for six years in his military record - keep him from working.

The disability payments don't cover the $5,700-a-month cost of his adjustable home mortgage and equity loans. He owes more on his house than its market value, so he can't sell it - but he may soon lose it to the bank.

"I love this house. It makes me feel safe," he says.

Awad could once afford it. He used to earn $100,000 a year as a 16-year veteran major with a master's degree in management who excelled at logistics. Now, at age 38, he can't even manage his own life.

There's another twist. This dedicated Marine was given a "general" discharge 15 months ago for an extramarital affair with a woman, also a Marine. That's even though his military therapists blamed this impulsive conduct on post-traumatic stress aggravated by his Middle East tours.

Luckily, his discharge, though not unqualifiedly honorable, left intact his rights to medical care and disability payments - or he'd be in sadder shape.

Divorced since developing PTSD, Awad has two daughters who live elsewhere. He spends much of his days hoisting weights and thwacking a punching bag in the dimness of his garage. He passes nights largely sleepless, a zombie shuffling through the bare rooms of his home in sunny California wine country.

---

Few anticipated the high price of caring for Awad and other veterans with deep, slow-healing wounds.

Afghanistan seemed quiet and Saddam Hussein still ruled Iraq one year after the Sept. 11 attacks. That's when the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs guaranteed two years of free care to returning combat veterans for virtually any medical condition with a possible service link.

Later, few predicted such a protracted war in Iraq. "A lot of people based their planning on low numbers of casualties in a very short war," says Paul Rieckhoff, an Army combat veteran who founded Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Also, Iraqi insurgents have relied on disfiguring bombs and bombardment as chief tactics. At the same time, better armor and field medicine have kept U.S. soldiers alive at the highest rate ever, leaving 16 wounded for every fatality, according to one study based on government data. The ratio was fewer than 3-to-1 for Korea and Vietnam.

On the flip side, many are returning with multiple amputations or other disabling injuries not completely fixed even by fancy prosthetics, methodical rehabilitation, and job retraining. The Pentagon counts more than 29,000 combat wounded in the Middle East since the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Tens of thousands more were hurt outside of combat or in ways that show up later.

There was no mistaking the wounds of Cambodian-American Sgt. Pisey Tan. Eight months into his second tour in Iraq, a makeshift bomb blasted his armored vehicle and took both his legs.

Still, Tan has needed to rely on private donations and family, as well as the government. The government treated him and paid for his artificial legs.

But his brother, Dada, left college to live with him at a military hospital for almost a year. Later, his brother carried him piggyback up and down the stairs at home as Tan got used to his prosthetics.

"That's how our family is," says the Woodlyn, Pa., veteran. "We always take care of our own."

The government says it does too, and with some truth. Of 1.4 million U.S. forces deployed for Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 185,000 have sought care from the VA - a number that could easily top 700,000 eventually, predicts one academic analysis. The VA has already treated more than 52,000 for PTSD symptoms alone, a presidential commission finds.

Veteran John Waltz, of Hebron, Ky., blames his post-traumatic stress disorder on his rescue work at a plane crash aboard a carrier bound for an Iraqi tour. While his condition and disability claim were evaluated, he ran up about $12,000 worth of medical bills, he says. Despite Social Security and his wife's work, the couple's yearly income was cut in half to $30,000.

"We have to be really frugal, as far as what groceries we buy," Waltz says. "I think we're down to just a couple dollars now, until the next time we get paid."

On a national scale, the costs of caring for the wounded certainly won't crush the $13 trillion annual American economy. It probably won't bankrupt the VA, which already treats more than 5.5 million patients each year. But the price tag will challenge budgets of governments and service agencies, adding another hungry mouth within their nests.

Economic forecasts vary widely for the federal costs of caring for injured veterans returning from the Middle East, but they range as high as $700 billion for the VA. That would rival the cost of fighting the Iraq war. In recent years, the VA has repeatedly run out of money to care for sick veterans and has had to ask for billions more before the next budget.

"I wouldn't be surprised if these costs per person are higher than any war previously," says Scott Wallsten, of the conservative think tank Progress and Freedom Foundation.

The costs often fall on veterans and their families. Ted Wade, of Chapel Hill, N.C., can't drive or keep his memories straight since a bomb tore off an arm, hurt his foot, and wracked his brain in an attack on his Humvee in Iraq. He and his wife have had to lower their living standard and accept house payments from parents.

"I can't work because he can't be up here by himself," says his wife, Sarah. "It's my volunteer work, is what it really comes down to."

Yet federal officials say the cost of this wounded influx isn't hurting the quality of care promised to veterans.

At a recent ribbon cutting, the Army's vice chief of staff, Gen. Richard Cody, trumpeted a new rehab center for amputees as "proof that when it comes to making good on such an important promise, there is no bottom line."

Since President Bush took office, medical spending for veterans has risen by 83 percent, says White House budget spokesman Sean Kevelighan. However, that includes the increased numbers of all veterans treated - not just the wave returning from the Middle East.

"The president has made his dedication very clear to troops in the field and after," the spokesman said.

The VA didn't respond to several requests for comment. Recently, though, outgoing chief Jim Nicholson acknowledged trouble keeping up with the pace of disability claims.

But earlier this year, he also insisted that veterans "will invariably tell you they are really getting good care from the VA."

---

Not invariably.

The VA takes the lead in treating wounds and paying for disabilities of veterans. And it usually does a good job of handling major, known wounds, especially in the early months, by many accounts. The military, Social Security Administration, Labor Department and other agencies add important federal benefits.

However, many veterans and families say the VA often restricts rehabilitation or cuts it off too quickly.

Former Army Ranger Jeremy Feldbusch, of Blairsville, Pa., was blinded and brain-injured by artillery shrapnel in Iraq, but he and his mother decided to get some care outside the VA. His mother, Charlene, says some specialists, especially brain experts, are better in the private sector.

Insurance for major injuries is available at low cost to service members. It pays out up to $100,000 to help cover costs of rehabilitation. But many think it isn't enough.

In Odessa, Fla., the family of John Barnes decided to save most of his $100,000 payout.

They could easily have spent more of it. His mother, Valerie Wallace, estimates her expenses at more than $35,000 to help care for him while he deals with a brain injury and paralysis from a mortar attack on a base outside Baghdad. She took time off from her nursing job, paid $17 an hour for a home health aide, and transported her son to countless rounds of therapy.

Still, she wanted to preserve his insurance money. "John's going to need that money down the road," she says. Instead, she stopped saving, closed out investments, and borrowed against her own insurance.

Disability payments supply monthly income to the wounded, but the VA focuses on replacing lost earnings. A presidential commission has recommended broader compensation for lost quality of life - a concept in line with civilian law. Co-chair Donna Shalala, a former U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services, estimates that the committee's package of recommendations would cost at least several hundred million dollars.

In Oceanside, Calif., Joshua Elmore, says his $1,200-a-month disability payments aren't "even coming close" to replacing what he's lost. A rocket attack on a Marine base in Iraq shattered his arm bones and left other injuries.

He can still do yard work, odd jobs, and go to culinary school. But Elmore, who has two little girls, complains that he can't run and sometimes limps when he walks.

Some wounded veterans turn to private health insurance and other programs outside the federal government, swelling costs for states and towns. Sean Lunde, an Iraq veteran at the Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services, says his agency rushes emergency funds to some wounded veterans.

Service nonprofits also pay for emergency shelter, housing, job training, food, clothing and transportation for wounded veterans who risk slipping into coverage gaps.

T.J. Cantwell, of Rebuilding Together, says his group puts an average of $20,000 - plus donated supplies and labor - into houses it modifies for injured soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Rosedale, Md., the group added handrails, new light switches and door knobs, a garage door opener, and other improvements to the home of Army Sgt. 1st Class Juanita Wilson. The 33-year-old mother of two lost part of her arm in a homemade bomb blast in Iraq, but she remains on active duty to preserve her retirement.

Meanwhile, she says of the remodeling job, "If I had to pay for it, probably very little would be done."

Despite all this help, many families drop tens of thousands of dollars on travel to hospitals, stays in hotel rooms, extra therapies, and on making their homes and vehicles accessible to the disabled. Intent on the best care, parents sometimes quit jobs and lose their own health insurance.

Denise Mettie, of Selah, Wash., and her husband have been living "paycheck to paycheck" while she helps in the recovery of her son, Evan. A car bomb in Iraq propelled shrapnel into his brain, and he can no longer walk or talk. His mother gave up her $30,000-a-year bank job and had to buy health insurance for herself and her two daughters, just to watch over her son's hospital treatment, she says.

"What the VA has to offer is insufficient economically to take care of the impact of what happens," says psychologist Michael Wagner, founder of the nonprofit U.S. Welcome Home Foundation and a retired Army medical officer.

Veterans groups finally sued the VA a few months ago, seeking quicker medical care and disability payments for those with PTSD. They claim that the crush of shattered troops has sent the agency into a "virtual meltdown."

Last week, the VA challenged the lawsuit on technical grounds. Its lawyers also argued that even though VA rules commit to two years of free care, that depends upon Congress setting aside enough money.

---

Upset by his visits with wounded veterans, defense hawk Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who chairs a defense spending subcommittee, dropped his support for the Iraq war in 2005.

Speaking of the wounded, he now says federal officials are "not taking care of the things they should and ... we're trying to change the direction."

Many recommendations have come from veterans, federal advisers and others. Some involve quicker and heftier disability benefits. And nearly everyone begs for more VA money and staff for medical treatment, though few specify where they'd find extra resources.

Rep. Chris Carney, D-Pa., a military reservist, is promoting a bill to set mandatory annual spending levels for veterans' health care. Prospects are unclear.

Either way, it may be too late for veterans like Awad, who nervously awaits the approach of imagined enemies around what was once his castle.

From left: June Colgan of Alameda, Calif. (Gregory Jr's girlfriend), Gregory Boyington Jr. of Oakland, Calif. (son), Amanda Boyington of Newbury Park, Calif. (middle granddaughter), Tiffany Boyington Bailey of Arbuckle, Calif. (firstborn granddaughter), Gregory Boyington III of Alameda, Calif. (youngest grandson).
COEUR d'ALENE -- Airplanes landing on the tarmac of the Coeur d'Alene Airport will now touch down on the freshly christened Pappy Boyington Field.

A ceremony to rename the airport after World War II fighter ace Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, was held Saturday at the airfield.

Two Marine pilots stationed in Yuma, Ariz., treated Boyington's son, Gregory Boyington Jr., and a crowd of about 300 people, including guest speakers U.S. Rep. Bill Sali and Kootenai County Commissioners Rich Piazza and Todd Tondee, to a flyover before the start of the ceremony.

Several members of the Boyington family traveled from their homes in California to attend. 


"This proves they never leave their men behind. Semper Fi," Boyington Jr. said addressing the Pappy Boyington Detachment 966 of the Marine Corps League.

"It's quite an honor to have something named after your father, and it's magnificent for the family, but I think it's a symbol, too," he said.

It was a sentiment echoed by Sali, who agreed that renaming the airfield was "holding (Boyington) up as a person who is deserving of esteem." But the new name represents more than the heroism of one ace pilot, "It represents that those who fought with him are also deserving of esteem," he said.

The Kootenai County Board of County Commissioners voted in August to rename the airport, prompted in large part by the Pappy Boyington Detachment 966 of the Marine Corps League, many of whom attended the ceremony.

The detachment spurred the movement to rename the field because of

Boyington's extensive war record. Boyington was born in Coeur d'Alene in 1912, but did not grow up in the area, as he moved to Tacoma while he was still young.

A daring pilot, Boyington earned many distinctions during his service. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for leading a formation of 24 Corsairs over an enemy base on Kahili Island. Circling the base, his pilots lured 60 enemy planes into the sky, which were all destroyed in the ensuing battle without a single allied casualty. He was also awarded the Navy Cross and the World War II Victory Medal, as well as the Prisoner of War Medal, for spending 20 months in an Japanese prison camp.

"He always wanted to come back here," Boyington Jr. said. "He just never got a chance. The clock ran out."

Boyington died in Fresno at the age of 76.

"He was a great hero," Piazza said. "He worked hard and fought hard, and did a great duty for our country."

Piazza said he hopes the new name bestowed upon the airfield will prompt future generations to look to history books for Boyington and other war heroes.

In the bright September morning without warning to us all 
A few thousand lives were shattered and we watched two buildings fall 
And a billion souls felt empty, and the flags at half-mast fly 
In the memory of the innocent which didn't have to die 

We've lost brothers, sisters, cousins. We've lost family and friends 
But we've made the choice not to forget their lives and tragic ends 
Though we've had our share of troubles we have put them all aside 
As a nation grieves we find ourselves defending them with pride 

We're a nation of survivors, with one heart we share a tear 
But we live to serve the memory, not giving in to fear. 
Though they try to take security with the things they've done and said 
All their acts of inhumanity bring unity instead. 
So we stand here as a family. One heart, one soul, one voice. 
We are challenged by this moment, and united here by choice. 
=^.^= With the utmost respect for the men and women we have lost,                                                                                                                                 Karpet Kitten &amp; Family wish 2 extend our DEEPEST GRATITUDE 2 all who                                                                                                                       STAND WITH US IN UNITY AS "ONE HEART,ONE SOUL,ONE VOICE", to support

But prosecutors for Mexican state of Jalisco are appealing
 UPDATE!   : 1:32 p.m. PT Aug 2, 2007
PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico - A Mexican judge has ruled to close the criminal case against U.S. bounty hunter and TV reality star Duane “Dog” Chapman, but state prosecutors have appealed the decision, officials said Thursday.

In the July 27 ruling, Judge Jose Alberto Montes said the statute of limitations has expired on the case, said Guillermo Diaz, assistant prosecutor for the state of Jalisco, where Puerto Vallarta is located.

Chapman was arrested in September by U.S. authorities on a Mexican warrant stemming from his 2003 capture of fugitive convicted rapist and Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster in Puerto Vallarta. Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico.

State prosecutors, however, want to continue pursuing Mexico’s request to have Chapman extradited, Diaz said. The courts are expected to rule on prosecutors’ appeal in coming months.

Chapman, who stars in the A&amp;E television Hawaii-based show “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” expressed relief at Montes’ decision during a book signing event Wednesday night.

“The weight has been lifted off my chest,” he said. “Viva la Mexico!”

~~Dog is a great American, he cares about women children and the meth epademic in beautiful Hawaii, he deserves our support along w/ his bro Tim,son Leyland for their smackdown on scumbags. I send much strenght,wisdam,prayers and love to him and family.No not many people put their ass on line to get a rapist billionaire off not only Mexoco and America.He f'd up in younger years, but he is 53 and knows we need his hard ass approuch to the Meth problem in Hawaii and that pig serial rapist that drug him to Mexico.They should be happy in Mexico that he wasnt raping Mexican ladies,yet the whole 'BORDER' thing and illegal status made them see red and want to take him down.KITTEN stands Bhind Dog and his bro Tim and son Leyland and knew this was WRONG!

World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient 

First Lieutenant Vernon J. Baker, US Army



President Bill Clinton congratulating Medal of Honor Recipient Vernon Baker

in the White House East Room January 13

The only living African American World War II hero to receive the Medal of Honor

And First Lieutenant Vernon Baker, who killed nine Germans in a pre-dawn battle at an 
enemy stronghold. With two-thirds of his company wounded or dead and no 
reinforcements in sight, Baker's commander ordered a withdrawal. Breaking into tears, 
Baker protested, "Captain, we can't withdraw. We must stay here and fight it out."


More than 50 years after World War II ended, seven African American soldiers were 
awarded a congressional medal of honor. Only one of them is alive to tell his story, Vernon 
Baker, of northern Idaho.

The first time I walked into the recruiting office, there was a sergeant sitting behind the 
desk. He asked me what I wanted and I said I would like to enlist in the army. And he said, 
"well, we don't have any quotas for you people." With that he went back to what he was 
doing, writing something on his desk, you know dismissed me as if I was a little mouse or 
something.

And it made me very angry and when I walked out the door I swore I wasn't coming back, I 
wouldn't do that anymore. But as things went on, I wasn't working. I didn't have a job. I 
was living with my sister and it kind of rankled me that I needed to support myself.

So, I swallowed my pride and I went back to the recruiting office. And this time, there was 
a different soldier sitting behind the desk and he asked me if he could help me. And I said, 
"yes, I'd like to enlist in the army." And he said, "well come right in and sit down." and I 
ended up at Camp Waters, Texas, in the infantry.

We were in a segregated platoon in a white company, OCS class number 148. And it was 
the same old thing. We were in separate barracks, separated from everybody, except when 
we went to class. That was normal for us, that's the way it always had been. And being a 
black man, you had to accept it.

In 1944, second lieutenant Vernon J. Baker was sent to Italy with a full platoon of 54 men. 
On April 5 he and his men found themselves behind enemy lines.

We were briefed that there was a push coming up. But we didn't know what part we would 
play in it until the night of the third of April. All the officers and the N.C.O.'s were called 
together by Captain Runyan. And we were told our mission was to go up hill X and take 
castle Aghinolfi which was about three miles behind enemy lines.

We got three quarters of the way up to the castle. That's when I had 25 men going up the 
hill and came back with seven. And in the process of going up, we cut quite a few 
communications lines which let us get through because they didn't know we were there. 
And when they did find out we were there, they cut us to pieces. And we were quite a few 
yards behind enemy lines. We were right in the middle of them.

I can recall talking to my company commander. We were in sight of the castle. We were 
sitting on one side of the draw, talking about how to get down the draw, take the company 
up there so we could go get up to neutralize the castle.

And the German came out and threw a hand grenade and I shot him. And fortunately the 
hand grenade didn't explode. My company commander took off and went into a house and 
I went down and I found two more dug outs and threw grenades in them and fired some 
rounds and killed some more soldiers. And then I came back up to where my company 
commander was. And at the end, just as I got back to him, we began to get into another 
fight with machine gun and mortars falling all around.

Baker and his platoon had killed 26 Germans, destroyed 6 machine gun nests, 2 observer 
posts and 4 dugouts. Baker earned a distinguished service cross, only one of nine African 
Americans so honored in World War II.

Eventually Baker retired to northern Idaho. Then one day he received a call telling him he 
was to receive a Congressional Medal of Honor. At first he was astonished. Then he was 
angry.

Because it was something that I felt should have been done a long time ago. If I was 
worthy of receiving the Medal of Honor in 1945, I should have received it then.

I like to be right and I know in my heart that we were right. And we were a heck of a lot 
better than the people that ran us down thought we were.

It means that every black solider that fought in the Second World War has been vindicated, 
every one.

The correspondence that Baker has received since receiving his Medal of Honor has 
encouraged him.

Oh, there's lots of hope. I've got quite a few letters that tell me there's gallons of hope. I 
love 'em. Makes me feel real good that there are people in the world. I've ran across so 
many people that are not like this and I began to wonder whether the world was full of bad 
people. But now it makes me feel real, real, real good that there are people like this still in 
the world.



General Order: 

Citation : For extraordinary heroism in action on 5 and 6 April 1945, near Viareggio, Italy. 
Then Second Lieutenant Baker demonstrated outstanding courage and leadership in 
destroying enemy installations, personnel and equipment during his company's attack 
against a strongly entrenched enemy in mountainous terrain. When his company was 
stopped by the concentration of fire from several machine gun emplacements, he crawled 
to one position and destroyed it, killing three Germans. Continuing forward, he attacked 
and enemy observation post and killed two occupants. With the aid of one of his men, 
Lieutenant Baker attacked two more machine gun nests, killing or wounding the four 
enemy soldiers occupying these positions. He then covered the evacuation of the wounded 
personnel of his company by occupying an exposed position and drawing the enemy's fire. 
On the following night Lieutenant Baker voluntarily led a battalion advance through enemy 
mine fields and heavy fire toward the division objective. Second Lieutenant Baker's fighting 
spirit and daring leadership were an inspiration to his men and exemplify the highest 
traditions of the Armed Forces.

ILLEGAL, let me say that again ILLEGAL People who have ILLEGALY entered our
COUNTRY to become CITIZENS! I cant even believe I am writting that! They will
get our American welfare, insurance, education and freedom for a mere $5,000
payoff.Wow, the government ACTUALY believes this is a solution? Who drop the
Extasy in there water pitchers? I am waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out from
behind Tony Snow and tell us we have been PUNKED! I dont hate mexicans, my
girlfriend and her family are mexican.The ones here worked very hard and waited
long to be a citizen.And then a few who married into it ;-)&gt; With 12 million
here ALREADY,and they can bring up to 10-12 I was told thats over 100 Million
ILLEGAL/AMERICANS! There goes all the money we dont have setting them up,
medical,more schools,translate EVERYTHING into SPANISH, teach Americans,spanish
and then some! We are at f*cking WAR and these chowderheads deside 4 us that
ALLOWING ILLEGALS this (almost) FREE PASS at citizenship is IN OUR BEST
INTERESTS???!!! How, oh pah-leeze,some tell me how we are goin' make it,if they
didnt do this,thru all the lawn maintenance, maid work and fast food cookers of
ILLEGAL Mexican decent NOT DOING THESE JOBS? Why wouldnt they try it ALL
AMERICAN JOB FORCE? Our auto makers are going bankrupt due to import sales and
pplaces like WalMart dominating areas with their NOT AMERICAN made
goods.(Forcing mom and dad ops. outta biz).Why not at least give the peeps on
assistance who CAN WORK, to do these jobs.As it is the 'minority' get dibs on
all the jobs anyways.Dont you think these ILLEGAL JOB SNATCHERS are taking AWAY
JOBS Americans need.They just say we ARE LAZY.There are millions of down on
there luck, one check away from homeless,THAT WOULD DO THAT JOB.They make us out
to be AMERICANTS not AMERICANS! They are spoon feeding the fable that biz is
very much in need of there kind souls that do the work that America puts its
name on.I swear,I know up here in snow country, peeps that COULDNT WORK thru
this nasty harsh winter we just had,too be able to work at some of these jobs
taken by ILLEGAL workers.Lately on news have noticed a spike in crimes commited
by ILLEGAL men who bolted right back to Mexico.One skeezer raped a little girl
and ran back.I dont get it.The wall needs to be put up.The Mexican Government
put on alert.A massive deportation of who is here NOW,will be small in
comparison to the INVASION of more ILLEGALS and their ILLEGAL FAMILY
MEMBERS.Imagine they are starting their lives here,snubbing their noses at our
LAWS and robbing jobs and benefits and medical and education.NOW the jackasses
in charge are throwing us AND THE AMERICAN DREAM under the bus.Its a sad,sad,sad
day in this country and to those who are patroling the border, fighting in wars
and protecting our streets and yup,EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN! I pray,realy pray this
doesnt happen and they try something else.Like thinning the hurd by 100,000
ILLEGAL DEPORTATIONS A MONTH.NOT open armed welcome to feed on Lady Liberty's
teet.This is a sell out of all of us.They need to deport, fine employers and
make it a priority to employ AMERICANS AND SECURE THE BORDERS with walls and
patrols (g' men and citizens) FIRST. The Mexican governement HAS TO BE PUT IN A
RESPONSIBILITY ROLE to NOT keeping thier own in, but ENCOURAGING them and
schooling them how to ILLEGALY enter the US.Its not just the good hard workers
(gag me), its DRUG SMUGGLERS,FLEEING CRIMALS,TERRORISTS....oooohhhh...yeah,
TERRORISTS.HASNT ANYONE thought of this?I am sick in the pit of my tummy.I feel
scared,betrayed,non represented and very pissed off at the thought of this.They
are having frigging parties in Mexico and in terror camps on the word of this.
This truely frightens me the thought of the money being sucked to make this lame
brained shitty idea work.And I heard TEDWARD KENNEDYs name is on this! No wonder

borders,and being as safe as a bottle of scotch on Tedward kennedys
nightstand,we are sitting ducks! In many ways to.Our safety,financial future and
lives are hanging on a string.I swear,if brains were chocolate Kennedy and Harry
Reids couldnt fill a friggin M &amp; M!!! I have dug up some info to shed light on
how repulsive,illegal and down right UNAMERICAN this sell out is. Total
bullsh*t!!
The Senate amnesty bill is full of lies, half-truths and misdirections.

• If passed it would give immediate amnesty for nearly all of the 22 million
illegals.

• Triple the rate of chain migration from around 250,000 a year to around
750,000 a year for about a decade.

• Create new flows of 200,000 "temporary" foreign workers every year who will
bring their families and have anchor babies who will qualify for citizenship.
They will receive the new "Y" visa. Guest workers would be limited to three
two-year terms, and they'd have to spend at least a year outside the United
States between each term. Temporary workers will be allowed to bring immediate
family members if they can support them financially and they have health
insurance. (I dont have health insurance!How 'bout you?)


• "Z" visas -- Illegal aliens will be given six months to apply for a "Z" visa.
However, they can still renew them indefinitely -- the first "permanent
temporary visa" in U.S. history. Federal officials will have only 24 hours to do
a security and criminal background check, and if they can't complete the check
they can issue the visa anyway. If the fingerprints don't kick up a criminal
record in the first 24 hours they get instant legalization papers. Once they get
those papers, they can stay in the United States the rest of their lives,
whether or not they ever decide to apply for a "Z" visa or green card;

• Even if it is found that the illegal alien has a disqualifying FELONY it is
not a sure thing that they will be deported. If the alien can convince the judge
that deportation would result in a hardship for either the alien or his spouse
the alien cannot be deported. Illegal alien gang members will be given a "Z"
visa if they are willing to renounce gangs -- 650,000 criminal illegal alien
absconders would be legalized under the bill.

• Illegal aliens will not be required to pay back taxes. S. 1348 puts an illegal
alien into a super class of an American. They are correct that this is not
instant citizenship (which might not come for 18 years).

But it IS "instant legalization" that allows legal residence and work in the
U.S. Immediately after the amnesty bill is signed into law, all 22 million
illegal aliens can sign up, give their fingerprints and/or eventually
citizenship (unless they are found later to be terrorists or fail to meet a few
obscure criteria that may or may not ever be enforced).

We urge you to call YOUR SENATORS. Ask friends, relatives, neighbors, etc., to
call also. S. 1348 is a sell-out of American sovereignty.

• It is a slap in the face to anyone who has legally immigrated into America.

• It would be a terrible tax burden for us, our children and eventually our
grandchildren.

• It rewards illegal activity and elevates illegal aliens above U.S. citizens
and legal aliens. For all intents and purposes, it does away with our borders.
WE MUST NOT ALLOW ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN 2 US!JION ME IN MY OUTRAGE!!! As I have
said before, many of my jobs have been hard working,underpayed ones.They are
trying to make us believe we are too lazy or a bunch of primadonnas who snub our
noses at hard crappy jobs.LIES!And this $5,000 payola to get in is a joke, make
it $50,000.00 and us that money for a freaking wall.I also want cheap employers
to pay big time NOW! They and we know who is illegaly working.And what about
mexicos gov (whata joke) to be finacialy responsible for every border
jumper,even the masses of non mexicans doing it.We must place sanctions,cut of
their imports even. =^.^=

thanks to his plum job.The sleezerz have accused,said and diss any

Bill thru the Blewinski gate with HIS GIRLFRIEND/BABYSMAMA/MISTRESS!
we can go on, but thats enuff.They are constanly hating,negative
and NO SOLUTIONS.Jackson is such a shake down
artist,companies,organizations,etc..just pay him off rather than
media attention.Go on.... They are using their own people, much
like Muslims are violent in name of religion,they are doing in name
of race.Being from South Florida I am lucky to have kept many
friends and school mates that are black.I was bussed in to school
smack dab in the hardcore area of a ghetto.Fights every lunch, one

THEMSELVES and get paid. They are all legit and off the streets at
least!LOL! All their hate spewing,all for thier agendas, separate
but equal egos. I would LOVE to see Jackson take on 50 Cent (Oh,
pahleeze 50, pop a cap in his lying ass!) These rappers have mega
million dollar careers.Do you or they think JJ is gonna pull rug
from under their wealthy lifestyle? HELL NO! This is about
separating and brain washing being propelled by Al and Jess and
possee.These are very sly,wealthy men using racism as thier job.And
are a stain on the awesome black culture which I love and
support(thanks to my surroundings in Florida) They are as racist as
the KKK,but AGAIN they will NEVER APPOLOGIZE.They must be holding
in too many farts cause they got plenty of shitty ideas! They
totaly hate whites,yet except 'white' $$$,media attention and
more.I am sickened by these ass clowns and the tearing apart of our
selves esp.WHEN ITS A BOLD FACE LIE! These social terrorists Al Bin

Posted Apr 19th 2007 12:30PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Anna Nicole Smith
As Larry Birkhead's custody hearing looms with grandma Virgie standing largely in the way, TMZ has dug up an interesting family tree -- turns out Virgie liked her stepbrother a whole lot.

Here's the deal: Virgie's mom, Paralee, married a guy named Melvin and had Virgie. In another part of Texas, a guy named George William Tacker got together with this chick named Betty Jo and had a son named David Luther Tacker. Then Paralee and George got married, so Virgie and David became their stepkids. They were all one big happy family -- maybe too happy, because Virgie hooked up with her stepbro to produce David Luther Tacker, Jr. 

So, David Sr. is Virgie's stepbrother and her baby daddy. You following so far? 

True enough, George and Virgie don't share blood. So we wanted to know what you think.

I don't know if you remember me, but you and I exchanged emails several months ago.  I am a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army and initially sent you a note of thanks for all you do to honor our military, police, firemen and first responders.  Now, however, I need your national podium to honor a fallen hero in Iraq.
 
I never told you, but I am from a small town in Montana.  Last week in Iraq, one of our own was killed by an IED.  He was loved by all and his story is truely one that needs to be told.  His name is PFC Kyle Bohrnsen.  He comes from a ranching family and was working on his family's 5000 acre plus ranch in Rock Creek valley near Philipsburg, Montana.  At 22 Kyle had a house and a great future as a rancher and serving as a hunting guide in the fall/winter.  Last year, however, Kyle decided to join the Army in the Infantry because he thought it was his duty to serve this great country.  He did not need college money, adventure, or a job, he just felt he lived in the greatest country in the world and wanted to serve four years before he settled down as a rancher. 
 
Personally, I knew Kyle and grew up with his father.  Everytime I went back home on leave I would talk to him because he was always hanging around my brother.  My brother was like an Uncle to him.  I mention this because it was my brother and I who encouraged him to join the Army.  His parents have all the rights to be bitter with me and my brother, the Army and even the President.  My brother was actually afraid to go visit this week, but when he did he found a family in deep pain, but proud of their son.  Their desire is to do everything to honor his name.  Instead of running to Cindy Sheehan, Lisa (Kyle's mom) wanted to get a tatoo of a Gold Star flag on her arm.  Her only question of my brother (a nine year Army veteran) was if it would be a dishonorable action.  Her concern was not to diminish her son's memory.  It breaks my heart thinking about the pain she is going through and all she thinks about is not bringing shame to her son.
 
His entire family are Great Americans and I love them all.  They gave the unlitmate sacrifice but show nothing but respect for there son's service, the Army and this country.  Kyle's sister, a senior in high school, told her dad that she now wants to join the Army to finish what Kyle started.  Why do we lift celebrities, politicians and Cindy Sheehan when there are people like the Bohrnsens in this Great Country?
 
At any rate Karpetkitten, I have added a few links to some news articles about Kyles death.  I ask if you could write up a little tribute to Kyle in your eloquent style to let this nation know about this shining star and of the Bohrnsen's sacrifice.  Also, Geoff (Kyle's dad) is starting a scholarship in Kyles name.  Could you please also let everyone who feels it in their heart to give that they can send donations to:
 
     Kyle Bohrnsen Scholarship Fund
     Flint Creek Valley Bank
     P.O. Box 10
     Philipsburg, MT 59858
 
I know you don't owe me anything and are probably asked by many people to write something about a loved one, but I need you.  I need your orator skills and I humbly ask that you lift up these beautiful, great Americans.  I also ask that you forward this note to Sean, Mark or anyone else with a national podium who also honors our fallen heros. 
 
Kyles funeral is Sunday, 22 April in the Gym of Granite High School.  The links are below:

God Bless Karpetkitten.  You would be doing me a great favor to tell Kyle's story and I appreciate your help with all the fiber of my being.
 
Very Respectively,

BADD BOYS ON NOTICE!YEEHAW!</title><content type='html'>It may be a man's world still but one part at least is about to become
exclusively woman's.

A district in China will be renamed 'Woman Town' - with strict rules that
whatever women want, they get.

And disobedient men will be punished, either with wooden boards or menial
chores.                                                    
The 2.3km Shuangqiao district in Chongqing will become what is thought to be the
world's first 'Woman Town'.

The town gates will bear the ruling philosophy: 'A woman never makes a mistake.
A man can never reject a woman's request.'

Tourism director Li Jigang said: 'Construction will take around two years, and
the place will become a very good destination for entertainment and relaxation.

'In any tour group entering this town, female members would play the deciding
role concerning shopping and other items of the itinerary.

'We are drafting a township law which stipulates clearly how men should be
punished, and for what.

'A disobedient man will be punished by kneeling on an uneven board or by washing
dishes in a restaurant.' 
~~~~~=^.^= OMG! Washing dishes, thats the harshest these chicks can start
with.They need to get Lindy England-badd military Mama- to show them some
punishing ways!Maybe they will have them naked or something more demeaning.And
how many of YOU GUYS women are wayyyyy harsher than that? I got some ideas,call
me China women,I'll help ya,too! Spank You for your time ;-)&gt; =^.^=

He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation 
was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national 
debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to 
raise the kids. What the hell happened? Can you spell "politicians!"
And I still have to "press 1" for English. I hope this goes around the 
USA at least 100 times!!!!!! URGGHHH!!  =^.^=

We are so concerned about the freedom of other countries, yet our own,open borders and all,has multiple serial child molsters and killers  running wylde.Yeah, I am pissed having to watch John Coueys trial,this scumbag propped up in a new suit and coloring on a pad! Jessica Luncesfords traumatized family just feet away having to go thru all the gruesome details of the ordeal that ruined their lives.To see father Marks face racked with pain and anger makes my fur stand up and claws sharp and out,wanting to just put a bullet between those beety twisted eyes of that monster,then and there.How can it be this pig walks into a home,into a childs bedroom and steals her from the safety of her bed? Then just yards away brutalizes her for 4 friggin days B4 he tosses her LIVE BRUTALIZED BODY into garbage bags and buries her alive under his sisters trailer steps.Why a trial?Why has not one of these scumbags had the balls to fess up and spare the family and nation of another long drawn out court case? You see on DATELINE how they know WE KNOW they are out there and with out shame or remorse,they lust after children.Sometimes it turns to murder. I cant believe some moron thinks green licence plates will help identify these animals.I always said the only way I want them identified on the FIRST OFFENSE is a TOMBSTONE.We will never understand why their brain circuts are screwy.Death isnt even enuff for them.I realy want a public execution of chid sex offenders/killers on a monthly basis.We cant fix them,and how many more lives must be ruined and taken ? How many more lame ass bills with dead kids names on it will there be? I am ashamed that we dont have the stomach or balls to put down these creeps.We must somehow change they way the system works (or DOESNT WORK!). I would even support public vigilaties who hunt them down with some wild west like justice.The government is letting us down as the numbers are so outragous of how many are in our own neighborhoods. I dont want to see these psychos get fat on death row on our dime.I hate that there are more jails than schools being built to house offenders.I hate to think how tragic and painful little Jessicas last 4 days on Earth were.And all the othe Jessicas and Dylans.We as a nation must stand together and show a sign of force against child molesters/killers.Please pop an email to your local lawmakers and tell them how sickened and tired you are and demand,as I will, a change.Its not enuff to catch and release them.Swift Death is the only way.
I pray this never touches you personaly,but chances are some of us will be.So sadd. This is a very important issue that needs alot of light shined on it.Please help me help our kids.God Bless and be safe and strong   =^.^=

SMOOCH! ;-)&gt;</title><content type='html'>HAPPY VALENTINES DAY MY LOVIES!! I know some of you despise this day, BOMBARDED with the over marketed $13 BILLION buck spending spree,that leaves many feeling more alone,unloved and unapreciated.Its more than a 'got too,get me,go to'day.A SHOCK n AWE campaign is sooo not what its about to me and others.(Unless yer messin' wit a GOLDDIGGER!) LOL! Flowers wilt,cards get put away,dinners and cocktails are just 'rented'! I believe your time,love,a sweet note,a warm smile,a genunine hug,attention and thoughtfulness are your biggest and greatest gift of love of ALL! (I have heard diamnds are a girls best friend,but realy you are! But diamonds ROCK! ;-)&gt; )             So many of us are blessed with love of friends,family,lovers,spouses,pets and cyber friends like ME! But the reality is,many are searching for that specal someone.A life companion, (Or in Paris Hiltons case..a ONE NIGHTER!) a person to share the best and help thru the worst.HEY, if that dinosaur LARRY KING can get married 7 times, theres hope 4 all of us right!? And some might even go to the end of the earth or THE MOON,like that psycho ASTRONUT who thought she found LUST IN SPACE!(note to her..DEPENDS Undergarments for 900 miles....NOT SEXY! Makes me think of Larry King again..urghh!). I have told many who asked for my love advise how to find like minded people.Well NOT BARS! Extend yourself to areas where you would never expect to find a special person.It usualy happens when your not looking. I tell people 1st go to HANNIDATE on www.hannity.com and also there is Hannity Local Hookups(your area of the local hannitized). There are lots of safe local ways to 'hook up'! Good Luck in Love and Happiness to you who are looking.I now you will succeed in finding that special person.                                        What realy hurts me are the ones left behind by the death of their loved ones.Whether old or they were killed in war, or a tragedy.Thats how I believe (and do),WE can make a difference and fill our own hearts with love.My grandma said 'You cant love someone unless you love yourself' (insert her broken Italian-English accent). Reach out to Military familes and First Responders that the family,wife,kidz husbands,parents,siblings.They are realy blue and you can have your own manificent act of kindness.You can do it undercover or flat out let them know YOU (and we) CARE ABOUT THEM! Your heart will swell as mine does when I go to Vet Hospitals,elder homes and the like to show them YOU MATTER and I APPRECIATE YOU!What about Grandma,an elder aunt or vet uncle?I see no reason YOU CANT make it a special day b doing a rando act of love and kindess in a forgotten persos life.Everyone knows someone like that and you can share time together and BOTH FEEL GREAT.Such a small,inexpensive gift that makes a world of differnce..to you AND THEM! Dont let the love light in your heart dim,just cuz your aren IN LOVE (or LUST).You have a LOT 2 GIVE!             If you are lucky enuff to have found that great love, and are just sooo PUNCH DRUNK LOVE,hey,dont just wait till Feb. 14th to do something special.Do it all year long.Keep them fires burning and enjoy THE HEAT!!! gggrrrrlllll !!!                      Love is in your heart,I have nothing but warm wishes,prayers and hope for all of you.Dont be burned on love if you had a bad experience,you have so much to give.And theres them stories of 80 year olds finding hot sexy love (ok, NOT SEXY!).So 'Better to Have Love and Lost,Than To Never Have Loved At All' (that goes for NY Cheese Cake too!)      Go out there and have a great day, who knows it MAY turn out to be a different type of HUMP DAY than you expected! ;-)&gt; This Day is about love,but it need NOT BE ROMANTIC.So put a smile on your face and a song in your heart (Mine is 'My Funny VALENTINE!) and get out there!!                And last, but definately, NOT LEAST when all else fails...... REMEMBER, JESUS LOVES YOU AND SO DOES THE KARPET KITTEN! =^.^= BIG OLE KISSES and SPANKS and all my love to you!!!!!!!

PATIENT DUMPED ON SKID ROW!</title><content type='html'>POLICE: LOS ANGELES HOSPITAL DUMPED PARAPLEGIC MAN ON SKID ROW
Friday, February 09, 20007
LOS ANGELES��� A hospital van dropped off a paraplegic man on Skid Row, allegedly leaving him crawling in the street with nothing more than a soiled gown and a broken colostomy bag, police said.
Witnesses who said they saw the incident Thursday wrote down a phone number on the van and took down its license-plate number, which helped detectives connect the vehicle to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, the Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site.
Police said the incident was a case of "homeless dumping" and were questioning officials from the hospital.
"I can't think of anything colder than that," said Detective Russ Long. "There was no mission around, no services. It's the worst area of Skid Row."
The case comes three months after the L.A. city attorney's office filed its first indictment for homeless dumping against Kaiser Permanente for an incident earlier last year.
In that case, a 63-year-old patient from the hospital's Bellflower medical center was videotaped wandering the streets of Skid Row in a hospital gown and socks.
An after-hours call Thursday to Hollywood Presbyterian seeking comment was not immediately returned.
Kaylor Shemberger, the hospital's executive vice president, told the Times the incident was under investigation.
"Obviously we are very concerned about the information that has been presented to us," Shemberger said. "If some of the facts are correct, it is clearly not in line with our policy of handling these types of patients."
City officials have accused more than a dozen hospitals of dumping patients and criminals on Skid Row. Hospital officials have denied the allegations, but some said they had taken homeless patients to Skid Row service providers.
In 2005, Hollywood Presbyterian was accused of homeless dumping. At the time, a top executive denied the charge, but said Skid Row service providers offered treatment and care for some patients who had nowhere else to go.
~~~~ I pray someday our downtrodden ,poor,hopeless Americans are able to get medical care and treated with dignity no matter how uch (or little) money they have.We seem to care about other countries health and welfare.Why not us?  Maybe Oprah,Angelina,Madonna and oter rich celebs should 'adopt' a homeless vet!

LOVE STORY</title><content type='html'>2007 Archaeologists find prehistoric 'Romeo and Juliet' locked in eternal embrace! (not me and my beloved Sean! LOL!)   ROME -- It could be humanity's oldest story of doomed love.
Archaeologists have unearthed two skeletons from the Neolithic period locked in a tender embrace and buried outside Mantua, just 25 miles south of Verona, the romantic city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale of "Romeo and Juliet."
Buried between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, the prehistoric pair are believed to have been a man and a woman and are thought to have died young, as their teeth were found intact, said Elena Menotti, the archaeologist who led the dig.
"As far as we know, it's unique," Menotti told The Associated Press by telephone from Milan. "Double burials from the Neolithic are unheard of, and these are even hugging."
The burial site was located Monday during construction work for a factory building in the outskirts of Mantua. Alongside the couple, archaeologists found flint tools, including arrowheads and a knife, Menotti said.
Experts will now study the artifacts and the skeletons to determine the burial site's age and how old the two were when they died, she said.
Luca Bondioli, an anthropologist at Rome's National Prehistoric and Ethnographic Museum, said double prehistoric burials are rare -- especially in such a pose -- but some have been found holding hands or having other contact.
The find has "more of an emotional than a scientific value." But it does highlight how the relationship people have with each other and with death has not changed much from the period in which humanity first settled in villages and learning to farm and tame animals, he said.
"The Neolithic is a very formative period for our society," he said. "It was when the roots of our religious sentiment were formed."
The two bodies, which cuddle closely while facing each other on their sides, were probably buried at the same time, possibly an indication of sudden and tragic death, Bondioli said.
"It's rare for two young people to die at the same time, and that makes us want to know why and who they were, but it will be very difficult to find out."
He said DNA testing could determine whether the two were related, "but that still leaves other hypotheses; the 'Romeo and Juliet' possibility is just one of many.

That bee-otch.They are passing more gas than bills! And poor President Bush! During State of Union,he must have been a bit nervous with that mean old Bush hater BEHIND his back with a heavy weapon (gavel)! I hope Cheney had a shotgun under table pointed at her for safety! The hypocracy is RAMPANT and what about BORDERS? What about the real issues?           The hypocrisy from liberals has reached its apex. I hear liberals like to be called progressives these days. Liberals, progressives or socialists are all makeup artists trying to put lipstick on a pig that has lost 7 of the last 10 presidential elections in this country. These are people who support a party that gave us Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. One was the worst president in history and the other the last to be impeached and the first to be disbarred.
Here are some facts for you misguided liberals; Halliburton received no-bid contracts during Clinton administration for work in Bosnia and Kosovo. John Kerry was a 'C' student at Yale. Al Gore was a 'C' student at Harvard and could not complete either divinity school or law school at Vanderbilt, failing five of the eight classes he took in his three semesters at divinity school. Bill Clinton dodged the draft. He never served a day in any branch. He repeatedly told us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction during his presidency. On July 23, 2003, ex-president Clinton went on Larry King live and said "it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons (in Iraq)."
The next time a liberal, socialist, progressive or whatever wants to talk about Bush's grades in college, his 5 years of service, flying jets in the national guard, his no bid contracts to Halliburton or his supposed lying about WMD's in Iraq remember that. These people, because they are hypocrites, did not hold the candidates they supported to the same standard as they hold our current two term, twice elected president!  =^.^=

Just a few of the more bizarre items in the news wires recently:
� No free rides. Winning a big sweepstakes prize, such as the ride into space won by Brian Emmett of San Francisco, Calif., quickly hit a sour note when Emmett realized he couldn't afford the $25,000 taxes he owed on the prize. The news Tuesday was that a space tourism company agreed to pay the taxes in exchange for some consulting work by Emmett.
� Vertical marathon. 290 people raced up all 86 floors of the Empire State Building this week. The fastest time was 10 minutes, 25 seconds. Movin' up is hard work. 
� Pedicure bandit caught. A man accused of not paying for more than 20 pedicures he received at various spas in Illinois and Wisconsin was apprehended this week. He led police on a foot chase.
� Two-headed calf dies. A Virginia calf born just after Christmas died this week. The dairyman who owned her refused to have Star on display while she was alive, but shipped her body to Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum for taxidermy.
� Bouncing down the street. While they wouldn't really cause bouncing, rubber sidewalks may be in Philadelphia's future. A city councilman is proposing the idea of recycled tire rubber for the city's sidewalks because they last longer than concrete and are safer in the event of a fall.
� College on eBay. Sick of the rising cost of tuition? Try eBay, where Oklahoma Weslayan University is auctioning tuition. A year of tuition, room and board reached $4,425 on Monday and runs through Saturday. The non-eBay price is $23,000.
� Chewie's back, and mad. A man dressed as Chewbacca from Star Wars was arrested for battery in Hollywood this week. The wandering wookie head-butted a tour guide.
� That's one honest cop. The Kewaskum, Wis. police chief cited himself for a traffic violation. After he accidentally drove past a school bus with its lights flashing, the chief wrote himself a $235 ticket and paid the fine the following day.
� The worried wife. A woman in New York was arrested after spiking her NYPD-husband's meatball with marijuana. She wanted him to test positive so he'd lose his job, because she was afraid he would be killed in the line of duty. She figured a prison sentence was better than a funeral.
� Wrong anthem. A local band in Grenada, in honor of a China-financed stadium on the Caribbean island, played the Taiwanese national anthem for a group of visiting Chinese dignitaries. Oops, or political commentary?
� Oops again. A similar gaffe occurred at The White House last spring when an American announcer called China by Taiwan's formal name.

"I am SICK AND TIRED!" I AM sick and tired of whats going on.All of a sudden the Bush Haters have morphed into Troop bashers and I cant stay silent.The Bush Haters have been on the rampage trying to take him out at the knees and brought a whole bunch of pain and confusion for our Armed Forces and thier families.Its sickening that John Kerry trots himself out (and I say, why Barbaro and NOT HIM!) and as always sticks his HOOF INTO HIS MOUTH! The elistist piece of Euro-Trash wannabe cant help himself.He is pissin all over a new breed of war Warriors.Its not euff he dissed his OWN FELLOW BROTHERS,but he has to chip on the brave troops of THIS WAR.Dont get me wrong, he went to battle,and I thank him and respect that.(Even if it was only a few months and he came home with rice in his butt).But he trots into a foreign country and disrespects our President and troops is treason.I cant help but think he does this on purpose.Maybe he is brain damaged, but he has to know that his words are like bombs on our troops.What the world and OUR ENEMIES sees right now are the same antique hippies that protested in the 60's.JIHAD JANE and the same pack of screamers from back then(hairy armpits and all I imagine;-)  ).Dont they have a conscience?Doesnt a paid government rep have the scense to shut his fugly-ass piehole and say something POSSITIVE about our Troops that are engaged in thee bloodiest,nastiest battle of all? John Kerry should have learned from his first time around that his rants about how wrong war and the President and the troops are?  Now all the ANTI WAR rallys and leading the pack the same handful of Hollywierds High Horsemen.I am SICK and TIRED of them and the other Cindy Sheehanistas.Speaking of Ms. Thang,who is footing the bill for all her appearences?Moveon.com, I am sure.I am a peace loving citizen, but trust me, I dont think a plate of Brownies delived by Susan Serandon  will chill the freakin TERRORISTS!!!!! DUH!  What did the sit ins and rallys of the 60's do?Realy. What did it accomplish.The draft dodgers FELT LIKE THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING?Probably.Those who dont go to war shall protest it.And WHO is fighting to protect these sceamers 1st ammendent PRIVELDGE?  Ironic isnt it?  I for one want to thank all you Vets and families of our warriors.I appologize for all the ingrates that are running around the country side dis-respecting you and your loved ones.They are out numbered in the real world.There are millions that suport you and your family,and unfortunately the squeaky wheels get on the news.Every day,I meet a Vet or a family member and they give me encouragement to Support and Respect our Armed Forces, as you should.John Kerry and the pack of misfit,over paid,bloated,kumbayah singing 60's rejects need to go ito the mountains of Afganistan and circle their rainbow painted wagons and deal with those terrorists who want to turn us into dust. I dont think the terrorists want them on their SIDE EITHER!  Maybe these actors who are on the front lines of the Anti war rallies are desperate for work,and hope to ignite a carreer that has long since burned out?Too badd for them Love Boat still isnt taping.They get alot of press,and air time that they would NEVER get just (lame) acting. So we shall hold our collective breaths as Kerry and The Insane Clown Possee look like morons and sound like that too. I blame the whole Global Warming thing, on their gass blowing!LOL! And have you noticed how these peace loving jerks are becoming more and more violent? How DARE they spit in faces of vets!  I love and honor all of you and hope you know the majority of us feel like this.Keep your heads up and your eyes and ears open.Speak out and speak up in supporting the troops.And do it loud and do it often.I thank you. GOD BLESS US AND GOD BLESS THE TROOPS!

I hope the New Year is going well and you are well and your loved ones, too! I am very concerned about our brave heros that have been to war, and are now home (some just 4 now).We focus on the troops kicking ass over there in Satans armpit and sometimes it just falls to the wayside the ones back here in our great country.The lucky ones will just have severe emotional problems of horrific memories and trama.The many thousands that are bodily damaged,mamed for life and living in hell are my two boiling points today.Darryl Worley (Have You Forgotten) has this song and video out now (he played it live on Seans show) is haunting me.The words are so raw and real and wise.I wil post the lyrics below and hope you read each word and take it to heart as if a soldier was whispering this in your ear.  How can these heroic Americans who sacrifice life and limb re-adjust to our cushy,almost digustingly materialistic,me-me-me life.Even our animals are obese (FDA just approved a doogie diet pill,no shit, I will speak on that later,urgh!).We right now are obsessed with a Rosie and Trump sissy fight (both are bloated,overpaid,big headed bully blowhards),Britneys naked nah-nah,and lets mention the lawmakers are hurting our warriors with their Bush hating/war hating rants. Then there is Ms.Thang,Cindy Sheehan and her roaming band of idiots who are trottig Cindy out as a rock star,smearing her good sons name,passion and love of our country and his belief he needed to defend it and us.She as eclipsed his memory with her spotlight craving insanity.And do we even KNOW HIS NAME? I dont,she has used his death as her own step ladder to 'fame',and she is probably being used and exploited by the left/war haters/BushHaters for their own bidding.Maybe her grief has numbed her.I feel for her, but she is a disgrace.Then Pukelosi and Kennedy and the other stooges screaming from their high horses how horrible we are for being there, and totaly dissing on a daily basis, the warriors with sand in their eyes,battle worn and the rest that goes with war and being away from all you love and cherish.My heart realy bleeds for the troops there,the VETS home and their families,loved ones and the fallen. I so wish I had the ways and means to visit one of the hospitals and kiss and hug every troop I could!(can you say CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP!? lol). They had to open a new hospital in Texas to mend and tend to the wounded.The numbers are staggering,and thats war kidz.It aint pretty,its nasty and sucks,but its a massive reality right under our noses.We freaking OWE it to them ,the WHOLE country/goverment owes it to these brave,disabled (mentaly and bodily injured GREAT AMERICANS!!) to not only respect,honor,appreciate and love them for their service, but to give them Gold Standard care and then some.And for the loved ones as well. I ran across a couple of websites to help out these HEROS.  One is  www.fisherhouse.org    They provide homes for families while the soldiers are being cared for. Another is  www.HeroMiles.com    this is where you can donate your frequent flyer miles to families to get to where their injured family member is for free.We just cant expect the depleted government to do everythiing thats why these two sites ROCK and get and big thumbs up from me ;-)&gt;  We all owe ALL of these Warriors,the brave, dead,mamed,ill,or the walking dead   HOPE,STRENGTH,HELP,A HAND UP,CARE FOR THEIR FAMILY and THEN SOME! I know how deep my gratitude runs thru me,and I pray you get this fever too.Just think what these troops must think of what America has become.The lawmakers sound like nag haggy old bitties,the borders are still as open as Britneys legs,the anti war movement who are just insane with the lack of support for them,the warped media perseption,and I can go on.I am pissed,yes.But I want to make a difference in these soldiers lives.I hope you do as well.I dont mean to be a downer, but this is hard core.Serious as a heart attack.Our prayers alone are NOT ENUFF.Stay The Course or Cut and Run.Whatever side you are on,you must have compassion and madd support for the Great American Military.Ok, I will retract my claws and let my fur settle down, and wish you a great week and a happy heart and mind. I love you all and thank you for being here.We CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Check out Darryls song lyrics and tell me you dont feel it!                                  ~~~~~     I Just Came Back From A War - Darryl Worley

First thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground; 
The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hang-out. 
We drank some beer and talked a lot about old times 
But when the boos finally hit Billy Joe Grimes 
He said, "I don't know what it is but you seem different to me." 
I said, "I just came back from a place where they hated me and everything I stand for; 
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care any more. 
If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before, 
I just came back from a war. 
The very next morning I took a walk through the neighboorhood. 
I thought it's been so long since Ive been in a place where everything is good; 
People laughin' and children were playing, 
And as I watched them I found myself praying, 
"Lord, keep them safe here at home in the land of the free" 
'Cause I just came back from a place where they hated me and everything I stand for; 
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care any more. 
If I'm not the same little freckled-faced boy that grew up in that house next door, 
I just came back from a war. 
I hope you cherish this sweet way of life, and I hope you know that it comes with a price. 
I just came back from a place where they hated me and everything I stand for; 
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care any more. 
Chances are I never will be the same, I really don't know any more, 
I just came back from a war 
I just came back from a war. 
You don't know me, you don't know me... 
I just came back from a war. 
You don't know me, you don't know me...

Saddam is gone and burning in Hell.Good end to a bad story.There is a song by my favorite and most yummy Country Boy TRACE ADKINS from his Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (track  14) Its called "WELCOME TO HELL", written right after 9/11.It was 4 Bin Laden and his ilk, but Saddam gets the tune! I have spent hours tryng to pull the FULL AUDIO of this purfect song ,but only 13 seconds can be found. So I shall post lyrics to this powerful and appropriate song.(My fave part is "I dont know what you been told, but there aint NO VIRGINS HERE!" )   Try to hear this on cd on maybe one of you brainiacs can pull the whole song  audio for us! KISSES!  =^.^=  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~           ~~WELCOME TO HELL~~               Come on in, son, have a seat
Don't mind the screams, don't mind the heat
Its been like this 'round here for a long, long time
We haven't had the chance to meet
But i've heard about you on TV
And i think we're gonna get along just fine
I can't help but notice, you look somewhat surprised
Did you think, son, after what you've done, 
The Lord would let you slide?
[chorus]
Welcome to Hell, your new home
you did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell
I hope for your sake you're the kind
That can stand to burn 'til the end of time
'Cause that's exactly what you're gonna do
There's some lots left on the lake of fire
Where we send your kind to retire
And i picked out a nice little hot spot just for you
I've got one last thing to tell ya
And let me make this clear
I don't know what you've been told
But there ain't no virgins here
[chorus]
Welcome to Hell, your new home
you did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell
Welcome to Hell, boy
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your ass is mine
Welcome to Hell
Welcome to Hell, boy
You're gonna love it.
(insert evil laugh here!)                                                               Thanks Trace for singing it so damn purrrrrfect! =^.^=

They boy,Bryan was Bi-Polar,had some issues and like most families the stress and drama takes its toll.Many of you are in the midst of teen anger or power issues and just think its a part of growing up.Bryan liked to stay up all night,he loved to wear long black coats.Some of your Columbine radars are jacking, I know.I want to save a soul and hopefuly lives with this message.Bryan was on www.MySpace.com   constantly tellng tales of how he always thinks of death.Morbid,lonely, sad, confused boys writtings.There for the world to read.There are thousands of you with kids on www.myspace.com    or    www.friendster.com   I urge you,hell, I BEG YOU to go to these sites and in search are type their name or nickname(Like mine is Karpet Kitten)  you dont need a password to read their pages.You can also type their friends names in (they usualy link up).I pray you kid is just a normal person and has decent thoughts,hopes and wants.But there is always a 'Bryan' who is BEGGING for you to read it and help him/her.This is a big weapon to save them from themselves.Its not just tats and piercings and black clothes and hair and nails (hey,thats me). Its not like I am asking you to install cameras or go thru personals (unless you find out something).Its not being nosey, its being informed,incharge being the adult.If only Bryans parents read it or someone informed them they may be alive and Bryan get help.Now he will get Life if not death. I BEG YOU TO USE YOUR COMPUTERS FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT REASON TODAY. The life you save may be your own.I love you.Good Luck.
Also GOOGLE their names.

KABUL, Afghanistan - Blood dripped down the 16-year-old girl&amp;rsquo;s face after another beating by her drug addict husband. Worn down by life&amp;rsquo;s pain, she ran to the kitchen, doused herself with gas from a lamp and struck a match.
Desperate to escape domestic violence, forced marriage and hardship, scores of women across Afghanistan each year are committing suicide by fire. While some gains have been made since the fall of the Taliban five years ago, life remains bleak for many Afghan women in the conservative and violence-plagued country, and suicide is a common escape.
Young Gulsum survived to tell her story. Her pretty face and delicate feet were untouched by the flames, but beneath her red turtleneck sweater, floral skirt and white shawl, her skin is puffy and scarred. More than a month after her attempt, her gnarled hands still bleed.
&amp;ldquo;It was my decision to die. I didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be like this, with my hands and body like this,&amp;rdquo; she said, sitting on a hospital bed in Kabul and hiding her deformed hands beneath her shawl.
Reliable statistics on self-immolation nationwide are difficult to gauge. In Herat province, where the practice has been most reported and publicized, there were 93 cases last year and 54 so far this year. More than 70 percent of these women die. ...
An estimated 60 to 80 percent of Afghan marriages are forced, the report said. More than half of Afghan women are married before they turn 16 and many young girls are married to men who are several decades older, the report said. The exchange of women and girls to resolve a crime, debt or household dispute is also common.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8414718-116517292906898097?l=karpetkitten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/feeds/116517292906898097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8414718&amp;postID=116517292906898097' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/116517292906898097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/116517292906898097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/2006/12/sad.html' title='SAD &amp; SICK!Desperate AFGHAN women commit SUICIDE BY FIRE 2 flee abuse &amp; hardship ;-('/><author><name>Karpet Kitten =^.^=</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03789509442581048251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://www.wtv-zone.com/Lasher/images/patriotic.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414718.post-116517114656360822</id><published>2006-12-01T07:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-03T10:39:06.593-08:00</updated><title type='text'>She can bring home the bacon,fry it up ina pan and still KNOW HOW 2 KILL TALIBAN!

In Iraq and  
Afghanistan, women warriors are writing a new chapter in military history, serving by the tens of thousands, fending off enemy fire and taking on � and succeeding in � high-profile roles in the battlefield and the skies as never before.
"The American public is beginning to realize that women are playing an equal part in this war and that they are facing the same risks," says Duckworth, who lost both legs in the 2004 insurgent attack. "This is the first time in our nation's history ... when it's normal to see female names as part of the war wounded or those killed in action."
More than 155,000 women have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2002, according to the  
Pentagon, nearly four times the number during the Persian  
Gulf War. Females now account for 15 percent of the active duty force.
The number of women casualties � 68 dead and more than 430 injured � represents a tiny fraction of the total. Still, by one estimate, the deaths exceed the number of military women who lost their lives in Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War combined.
The public, long accustomed to seeing disabled male veterans and grieving widows clutching folded U.S. flags, has adjusted to a new set of somber images: women soldiers coming home with life-changing injuries and tearful farewells to mothers, wives and daughters.
In just two weeks in September, bombs killed four military women in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among them: Sgt. 1st Class Merideth Howard, a 52-year-old former firefighter with a master's degree in marine biology, and 2nd Lt. Emily J.T. Perez, a 23-year-old West Point graduate of the "Class of 9-11" who played the clarinet, spoke fluent German, read the Bible daily and helped start an  
AIDS ministry at her church.
There is no shared experience that binds together the women of war. Each has a different story, a reason why they're in uniform, an explanation of how their lives have changed.
Some feel pressured to prove themselves as women. Others don't. Some never fire their weapons. Others engage in life-and-death battles. Some are professional soldiers. Others enlist for college money. A few are grandmothers; many more are in their 20s.
Almost all serve anonymously, though a few have captured headlines back home. Former Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski made news as the highest-ranking officer punished in the  
Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal. Jessica Lynch, the former prisoner of war, rocketed onto the nation's TV screens when she was portrayed as a guns-blazing, all-American heroine � a depiction she herself disavowed.
But Lynch's job � Army supply clerk in a maintenance company � illustrates one of the realities of the war: No place is safe. As the insurgency took hold, that grew even more apparent. Front lines don't exist. Combat troops still face the heaviest losses and while women are mostly in support roles, a mortar or bomb can strike anywhere from a mess hall to a supply convoy.
"My dad has friends who constantly tell him, 'Oh, your daughter's fine in Iraq. She's not in harm's way or she's not involved in combat,'" says Capt. Mary Caruso, who served two tours in Iraq, one as a platoon leader in the 194th Military Police Company.
"I don't think the general public really sees what females are doing over there," she says. "We don't have a linear battlefield anymore. The enemy's everywhere."
Women are barred from units assigned to direct ground combat � the infantry, armor and artillery, for example. While many remain in traditional jobs, such as health care, they've also served as translators and mechanics, commanded police companies and support battalions, flown jet fighters and attack helicopters.
They've been heroes, too.
In the Kentucky National Guard's 617th Military Police Company, Army Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester became the first woman since World War II to win the Silver Star for heroism. After a supply convoy was ambushed, she and others counterattacked, killing more than two dozen insurgents. 
Spc. Ashley Pullen, another member of the unit, received a Bronze Star for valor, risking her life to help save a wounded soldier in the same attack. In recommending her for a medal, her company commander praised her "incredible courage." 
"We now know women can hold their own, they're brave, they do have the physical and mental stamina to face combat-like situations," says retired Navy Capt. Lory Manning, director of the Women in the Military Project at the Women's Research and Education Institute in Washington, D.C. "We now know that men don't go to pieces and the American public doesn't go to pieces if women are killed. And we know that women, in fact, can defend men." 
Manning says that represents a change in perceptions. 
"I used to get a lot of guff that women can't do this, that women are weakening the military, women are feminizing the military � that's gone with the wind," she says. "The debate about whether they belong there seems to be over." 
Not quite. Though women are widely viewed as essential with the nation's fighting forces stretched thin and they perform jobs off-limits to men for cultural reasons � searching Iraqi females, for instance � the critics have not been silenced. 
"Engaging the enemy in this uncivilized thing we call war is a job for men, not women," Kate O'Beirne, a conservative pundit and Washington editor of the National Review, said in a radio interview this spring. She likened it to a man sending his wife or daughter to check out a possible home break-in. 
Martin van Creveld, a prominent military historian and Iraq war critic, argues the contribution of females in the conflict has been dramatically exaggerated. "They're not occupying any particularly important positions or fighting in the front ... If there were not a single woman (deployed), the war would be the same," he says. 
The Center for Military Readiness, a conservative think tank, contends that the Army has ignored its rules that prevent female soldiers from being in units that "physically collocate and remain with" ground combat troops. 
Elaine Donnelly, the center's president, says that creates the potential for romantic involvement, morale problems and physical hazards. A woman, she says, might not be strong enough to rescue a wounded male soldier. 
"All these social issues do matter," she says. "Cohesion is what lives depend on. It's all about survival. If you start causing doubts, you make the job more difficult or dangerous for everybody." 
Last year, some members of Congress tried to curb the role of women in combat zones, but retreated after running into opposition from the Pentagon and lawmakers from both parties. 
Capt. Christine Roney was tangled in the debate in 2004 when she was about to take command of a forward support company that would accompany a combat battalion. 
She says she was told several male captains fired off e-mails to members of Congress and the Center for Military Readiness opposing the move. One captain, she says, messaged one of her peers asking: "What are you guys doing sending a female over here?" 
When plans changed and a man was chosen to take command, Roney says she was disappointed at first, then reconsidered. "I probably did think having a female would have been disruptive in some sense," she says. "They might think they have to act differently with a woman." 
Roney, who ended up commanding a logistics company that conducted more than 500 missions in the streets of Baghdad, thinks gender walls will crumble as more women and men work together. 
"Sometimes," she says, "they need to get females in the unit to see they have some of the same abilities, the same competencies as the male soldiers." 
Some of that already has happened. 
Capt. Tara Stiles was a platoon leader in the 194th Military Police Company supporting the First Marine Expeditionary Force. "At first, they were kind of leery," she says. But after a few weeks "they'd rather have my platoon vs. one of the others led by males. .. They needed their backs covered and we were there. And vice versa." 
Stiles' company was commanded by Capt. Terri Dorn, who says she noticed some Marines were uncomfortable dealing with females, but she didn't detect resentment. 
"I never felt like someone was trying to tell me we're in the wrong place," she says. "It was, 'Oh my God, what do we do?' ... Really what you're doing is teaching that person how to deal with a female." 
Dorn says when men would tell her they'd never had a woman in their unit, she'd reply: "Don't think of them as females. Talk to them as soldiers." 
It was advice she, too, found useful. "I wasn't a female," she says. "I was a company commander." 
Dorn says some Iraqi military leaders proved a far bigger obstacle. There were those, she says, who refused to shake her hand. "It didn't hinder our conversation," she says. "It didn't hurt my feelings ... I proved myself by not allowing them NOT to speak with me." 
For decades there have been questions about men and women bunking in the same quarters and whether they could serve together without distractions. While problems such as sexual harassment and assault remain, some say that gender lines blur when lives are on the line. 
"Traditionally, the front is the most sexless place in the world. Behind the lines is where trouble happens," says Joshua Goldstein, a professor emeritus of international relations at American University and author of "War and Gender." 
Lt. Col. Cheri Provancha, who commanded a Stryker Brigade Support Battalion in Iraq with 700 soldiers, says she didn't detect a gender gap among her troops. 
"It didn't matter if you were male or female," she says. "You're going through the same thing as your buddy. That creates a bond." 
Provancha also says she has noticed firsthand how attitudes toward women have changed in her 23 years in the Army. 
"In the 1980s when a male soldier walks in the door, the expectation is they are competent. The woman on the other hand, it was 'I've got to see what you have before I give you that level of confidence,'" she says. "Now when I walk in the door, I feel like the guys do." 
But other officers say the military is far from having an even playing field. 
Janis Karpinski, who was demoted to colonel after the scandal at the Abu Ghraib prison, says she was a scapegoat � and she blames many of her problems on being a woman. 
When the prison conditions started unraveling, she says, "there was not a good ole boy network to support me. They wouldn't let me in. ... There was not a male commander to say, 'Hey, Janis, you better watch out.' Had I been a man, I would have been aware of it all along." 
Karpinski says the military is still regarded by many men in uniform � especially the older ones � as the "last bastion of male dominance and they're very reluctant to give up this turf to women." 
And yet, some see progress, partly because younger men are moving up in the ranks along with women. 
"Gender integration is not perfect by any stretch, but it's a heck of lot better than it was 30 years ago when women entered the military academy," says Mady Wechsler Segal, professor of sociology at the University of Maryland and an expert on the military. 
Women have a long history of military service going back to the Revolutionary War, when they sometimes disguised themselves as men to defend their country. Through the many wars, they've been spies and soldiers, nurses and pilots � and prisoners. 
Relatively few, however, have fallen from enemy fire. In World War I, for example, nearly 360 servicewomen died, mostly nurses stricken by influenza, according to the Women's Memorial Foundation. 
And in World War II, more than 330,000 women served both domestically and abroad, and more than 540 died, mostly from vehicle accidents, air crashes and illness, according to the foundation. Sixteen Army nurses died by enemy fire, the group says. 
In the Persian Gulf War, about two-thirds of the 15 women who died lost their lives in non-hostile incidents. (In Iraq and Afghanistan, more than a third of the deaths have been non-combat fatalities.) 
After the Gulf War, the Army opened thousands more jobs to women, including piloting attack and scout helicopters. 
Maj. Tammy Duckworth � who recently lost a bid for Congress � says when she joined the Illinois Army National Guard, she picked aviation because it was a combat position open to women. "I wanted to be treated equally to the males in my unit ... and I felt part of that was accepting the same kind of risks," she says. 
Early on, she says she adapted to being a woman in a man's world. "I tried to be one of the boys, to be tough or tougher," she says. But her attitude changed as she was promoted. "I knew I was a good enough officer on my own and I stopped trying to be extra-macho," she says. 
Besides, she adds, some of the guys were already teasing her that she had "ovaries of brass." 
But other women say they're mindful of being a minority and feel pressure � some of it self-imposed � to demonstrate their physical strength and their mental toughness so no one thinks they'll crumble when bullets start flying or bombs start exploding. 
Alicia Flores says she earned the respect of male comrades in the Army's 92nd Chemical Company by hauling bodies, cleaning up feces, doing everything men did. "I had a lot of guys look up to me and say, 'How could you be out here doing this?' " 
Flores says she was determined not to show weakness. 
"I saw a lot of guys break down," she says. "Most of the times I did a lot better than they did. ... I wasn't going to break down and cry. Crying wasn't going to get me anywhere. It was just going to get me dirtier." 
Aneta Urban stood out as the only women in her Marine police company during training in Camp Pendleton, Calif. She could feel all eyes on her. 
"When it's 100 guys and you're the only girl, it's like proving yourself every day," she says. "When you're doing rifle training, close combat training, they're looking at you a lot more closely. They're wondering: Can she do it? Can she handle it? You don't want to be laughed at." 
Two years later, when she was deployed, she felt she had measured up. 
"They knew they could depend on me," she says. "They knew I could pull my own weight. They knew they could trust me if something happened." 
Even so, Urban, a native of Poland who served as translator on a second tour, says she would never complain about "stupid girly issues" such as the lack of bathrooms. 
"We were under enough stress as it is ... without worrying about finding a place to go pee," she says. 
Some women say hygiene issues, whether it's going to the bathroom in a hole in the ground or not being able to wash your hair for a month, tend to be harder on females than men. Some find creative solutions. 
Maj. Mary Prophit, for instance, secured her own shower, trading a Benchmade knife in exchange. 
Prophit was part of a four-member Civil Affairs team and one of three women among a task force of 700. If that didn't set her apart, her age did. "I was old enough to be their mother," says the 42-year-old mother of three who is a library assistant in Glenoma, Wash. "I thought it was kind of cool." 
Despite two decades in the Army Reserve, Prophit says she felt internal pressures to be a good model. "I knew if I screwed up, someone would say, 'That's why we shouldn't have women in the military,'" she says. "I want to make sure that no one thinks the mission dragged on because I'm there." 
In January 2005, Prophit demonstrated her skills when the convoy she was in was attacked by a roadside bomb, ripping into the truck behind her that was carrying Iraqi soldiers. 
With ammunition exploding from the blazing truck, Prophit used her body as a shield so a medic could tend to one of the badly burned Iraqis. Later, she laid down fire at a mosque where insurgents were hiding. 
Prophit then propped up the critically wounded Iraqi with her body in the tight quarters of the Stryker armored vehicle, placed his head in her lap and tried to keep him conscious as they raced to the hospital. 
"My performance was a testament that women can be in combat," she says. But she draws a line. "I definitely don't think women should be in the infantry. It's not because they're not mentally strong enough or physically strong enough. If you mix genders, that alters the dynamic of the group." 
After the war ends, the military and Congress will evaluate these kinds of experiences and there will be renewed discussion about what combat is, but any changes will probably be incremental, not dramatic, says Manning, the military expert. 
For now, though, she says, "the public accepts that women are in the military, that there are going to be shootings, that they're going to be dying, and that's fine � with most people."

The Associated Press 
November 27, 2006
That isn't just for the inmates; that's for the rest of us. 
Jail inmates are spending hours knitting caps, blankets and booties for children around the world. 'We might all be criminals,' said David Evans, 25, of Blackfoot, Idaho, 'but some of us have big hearts.'
The pastime at the Cache County Jail in northern Utah began about two years ago. The handmade crafts go to a group called Save the Children or to humanitarian efforts organized by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Inmates have knitted more than 300 hats this year, about half with matching booties. They also have stitched mittens and small blankets.
'We are like an army,' said Jane DeSpain, a Mormon Relief Society president who organized the project. 'There are humanitarian projects going on all over the world. They are part of that.'
Jail officials said they were wary about putting knitting needles, a potential weapon, in the hands of inmates. But there have been no incidents. The needles are counted and collected before 30 to 40 prisoners return to their minimum-security blocks.
'Anytime you are doing something good for someone else, you are improving yourself,' said Capt. Kim Cheshire, jail commander. 'That isn't just for the inmates; that's for the rest of us.'
One man created a large hat that resembled the one worn by the cat in Dr. Seuss' 'Cat In The Hat.' It stretched more than 3 feet, with broad red and white stripes and a braided tassel. Folded beneath was a child's hat to match.
Justin Paz, 19, of Logan, recently was making a blue baby blanket. As his tattooed hand worked the needles, he thought about the child, probably a boy, who would snuggle with it.
Paz said he's hooked on a hobby that is 'helping somebody.'
'Honestly, when I get out, I'm going to buy one of these,' he said of the knitting tools

From iguanas to armadillos, state inspectors confiscate illegal exotic fare
NEW YORK - When a food safety inspector walked into a market in Queens, he noticed the store had an interesting special posted on its front window: 12 beefy armadillos.
In Brooklyn, inspectors found 15 pounds of iguana meat at a West Indian market and 200 pounds of cow lungs for sale at another market.
At a West African grocery in Manhattan, the store was selling smoked rodent meat from a refrigerated display case. An inspector quickly seized a couple pounds of it.
All of it was headed for the dinner table. All of it was also illegal.
Authorities say the discoveries are part of a larger trend in which markets across New York are buying meat and other foods from unregulated sources and selling them to an immigrant population accustomed to more exotic fare.
State regulators have responded by stepping up enforcement, confiscating 65 percent more food through September than they did in all of 2005.
The seizures also cast a spotlight on the eating habits of this ethnically diverse city, where everything from turtles and fish paste to frogs and duck feet make their way onto people's plates.

   Wal-Mart de Mexico, or Walmex, also said in a conference call with media that the company will initially finance its banking business with its own capital.
Last week, Mexico's Treasury secretary approved the opening of five new banks, including one by Walmex, the country's largest retailer.
Solorzano said he hopes the company's banking division will bring it closer to its customers, because "a large part of our clients do not have access to banking services."
The bank is expected to offer basic deposits and loans, including savings accounts linked to debit cards and checkbooks.
In the U.S., where Wal-Mart  (nyse: WMT -  news  -  people ) has applied for approval to establish an industrial loan corporation, a kind of industrial bank, it has been met with opposition from existing banks, unions, lawmakers, and consumer and community organizations.
Wal-Mart insists it has no plans to compete with community banks and has pledged to stay out of branch banking and consumer lending. Rather, its newly chartered bank would be used to handle the 140 million credit card, debit card and electronic check payments it processes each year, the company says.
In July, U.S. bank regulators decided to put on hold for six months any new approvals of such applications.
Analysts at Deutsche Bank (nyse: DB -  news  -  people ) said in a report last week: "Mexico offers an attractive potential for growth as loans only represent 13 percent of gross domestic product, in contrast to 70 percent in Chile and 32 percent in Brazil."
Solorzano said the banks are also expected to boost business by bringing more people into the stores. However, he believes the banking division will not make a profit until the fourth year.
Julio Bosco Gomez, the former general director of Bank One in Mexico, has been put in charge of Banco Wal-Mart de Mexico Adelante SA.
In recent years, Mexican retailers have moved into retail banking to sell financial products to their mainly low-income clients. Mexico's large retail banks have typically shunned this market, in favor of lending to middle and upper income individuals and corporations.
Mexican retailer Grupo Famsa plans to open Banco Ahorro Famsa, while retailer Controladora Comercial Mexicana SA (other-otc: 8363.PK -  news  -  people ) said it will partner with a unit of French banking group BNP Paribas (other-otc: BNPZY.PK -  news  -  people ) SA to offer consumer and credit card loans in Mexico.
Grupo Elektra was the first Mexican retailer to enter banking when it opened its Banco Azteca unit in 2002, which had 17.32 billion pesos ($1.58 billion) in loans at the end of June. Elektra also operates insurance and pension-fund companies.

President George W. Bush signs legislation that ensures the remains of fallen soldiers will be handled with respect when being 
transported home.
New law ensures remains of soldiers will be handled with respect on trip home
POST FALLS -- John and Stacey Holley can finally move on and grieve the loss of their son, Matthew, who was killed in Iraq.
The Post Falls parents' 10-month battle for a federal law that ensures the remains of fallen soldiers are handled with respect while being transported home has become reality.
"I am relieved that this mission is complete," John said Tuesday. "This has been a big responsibility to see this through to the end. 
"It was like riding the biggest roller coaster of your life. At first, you are apprehensive about your decision to get on, but once on, you are committed
to the end. When it's all over, you are glad you did it."
Matthew, who was born in Post Falls, was a 21-year-old Army specialist assigned to the 1st Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell, Ky. He was killed by a roadside bomb on Nov. 15.
The Holleys said they were horrified when they found out their fallen soldier son's remains were going to be handled by baggage carriers at the San Diego airport.
If it hadn't been for last-minute string pulling by their military casualty assistance officer with U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., they said their son, Matthew, would have been brought to them from the airplane as "freight" rather than by an Honor Guard.
Matthew was rendered honors in Dover, Del., but the Holleys also expected to see that when his remains were transported from there.
Under the law, the remains will be transported to the closest military base to the family's home. The fallen soldier will be rendered honors by an Honor Guard unless otherwise directed by the next of kin.
"It should have been standard operating procedure," John said. "It shouldn't have been something we had to worry about."
The Holleys, both veterans, don't want what happened to them to happen to other families of fallen soldiers.
"We do not want parents or loved ones to ever have to receive their service member in the cargo area of a commercial airport again without honors," John said.

   Duncan transported to state prison

Began sentence Monday at maximum security pen in Boise
COEUR d'ALENE --
After 478 days, Kootenai County said goodbye to Joseph Edward Duncan III
At least, perhaps, for now. 
Sometime Sunday or early Monday transport officers whisked the convicted triple kidnap-murderer to the Idaho State prison in Boise.
"Duncan, offender No. 83655, arrived today at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution located south of Boise, at approximately 10:30 a.m. (MDT)," said state corrections officials.
"It's good to have him out of here and be rid of a high-profile inmate," said sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger.
State officials said the move went off without incident.
Duncan, a 43-year-old level III registered sex offender, pleaded guilty last Monday and was sentenced to three consecutive life terms without parole for kidnapping. Prosecutors who sought the death penalty said that the capital penalty phase for the murder convition might be held if federal officials fail to get a conviction or death sentence for kidnapping two siblings after the Wolf Lodge killings on May 16, 2005.
Officials said Duncan will be held in isolation, at least for the time being.
On Friday, authorities said Duncan fulfilled part of his plea deal by meeting with investigators about the Wolf Lodge kidnap and bludgeoning deaths of Brenda Mathhews Groene, 40 and her son, Slade Groene, 13, and Mark McKenzie, 37, with a claw hammer .
"Duncan gave investigators detailed information that was consistent with the physical evidence that had been collected at the scene of the murders," Wolfinger said.
"Duncan's statements confirm the conclusion of investigators that he acted alone during those crimes."
Wolfinger said specifics of the interview will not be able to be released until the federal case is concluded.
"Every question they asked he answered to their satisfaction," said Duncan's federal defender Roger Peven, who, along with his state lawyer, Public Defender John Adams, stayed with their client during the hours-long interview. "My impression was he satisfied that condition to the letter." Adams declined to comment about Duncan's move.
One condition of the plea bargain was he would talk about the Wolf Lodge killings, but not the kidnapping of youngsters Shasta and Dylan Groene, any criminal activity during their captivity or Dylan's shotgun death.
Steve Groene, whose daughter, Shasta, was the lone survivor of the killings and kidnappings, said he really hadn't thought about his feelings on Duncan's move.
"Is it easier with him out of the area?" Groene said. "I never thought about it one way or the other.'
"Just so long as he's locked up," he said.
In an earlier plea deal, Duncan had offered to admit to Dylan's killing as well and speak to any law officers designated by the state. Kootenai County Prosecutor Bill Douglas rejected that offer, instead, holding out for a death component.
Peven said Duncan will likely remain in prison until he's indicted on the federal charges. The, he thinks he will be transferred to the Ada County Jail in Boise, where it's expected his trial will take place.

Joseph E. Duncan III
Groene agrees to open encrypted computer files
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -�Joseph E. Duncan pleaded guilty to 3 counts of kidnapping and 3 counts of murder on Monday morning.� A judge immediately sentenced him to three terms of life in prison without parole on the kidnapping charges.� Sentencing on the murder charges were delayed pending the outcome of Duncan's federal trial.
Captain Ben Wolfinger with the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department said the 14-section plea agreement is different from the proposal floated last week by the defense.� By delaying sentencing on the murder charges, it Duncan is not sentenced to death by the federal government, the State of Idaho can retain him and possibly sentence him to death on the state charges.
Family members of the victims said the plea agreement and life sentences are a relief after months of heartache.
"I feel we can move on, now that we're one step closer to finding closure," said Jesse Groene, brother of Dylan, Slade and Shasta Groene.
After the sentencing, reporters asked Groene what he would like to say to Duncan, but Groene replied, "I can't say that on live TV.� Sorry about that."
The tears flowed freely in the post-sentencing news conference outside the Public Safety Building.� Steve Groene, Shasta's father, held a white dry erase board and wrote that he would like to thank all those who supported him.� He could not speak after having undergone throat surgery for cancer.
Brenda Groene's mother, Darlene Torres, was also pleased with the outcome of the agreement.� 
"I'm glad we're getting this first step over, and hopefully the rest of it goes quick," said Darlene Torres.� "There's nothing that's going to bring my family back, but I know justice will be served."
But while many, including�Darlene Torres, believe Monday's outcome was a victory for Shasta, the family was clearly uncomfortable sitting in the same room with the man who killed their loved ones.
"What was it like sitting in the same room with Duncan," asked a reporter.��Darlene�Torres paused, then said, "It was like sitting in the same room with the devil."
Background:
Joseph Edward Duncan is a Tacoma native who spent most of his adult life in prison for molesting children.� Prosecutors say the registered sex offender was on the run from a child molestation charge in Minnesota in May of 2005, driving on I-90 near Coeur d'Alene, when he saw Shasta and Dylan Groene�playing in their swimsuits at their home.
Prosecutors say he stalked and killed family members to take the children.
Duncan is charged with killing Shasta's 13-year-old brother Slade, her mother Brenda Groene and Brenda's boyfriend Mark McKenzie.� Duncan also is likely to face federal charges of� kidnapping the two children and killing Dylan at a Montana campground.

Shasta's lawyer says death case in Idaho not needed now
COEUR d'ALENE -- The lawyer representing Shasta Groene said there's no reason for the 9-year-old to testify in a state court now that federal prosecutors have been given the go-ahead to seek the death penalty against Joseph Edward Duncan III.
John Sahlin, a Coeur d'Alene lawyer appointed by the federal courts, said Tuesday the state's case against Duncan could end short of a death sentence.
"With the U.S. Attorney General's announcement, it is now my hope that there need be only one trial of Joseph Duncan," said Sahlin.Earlier, Idaho U.S. Attorney Tom Moss announced his office had been given permission by the Justice Department to seek the death penalty against Duncan. 
Duncan's federal defender, Roger Pevin, could not be reached for comment.
Jury selection for the month-long state trial for Duncan is scheduled to begin Oct. 16 in 1st District Court.
Duncan's lawyer, Kootenai County Public Defender John Adams, would not comment about whether the latest move would change the complexion of the state case.
Adams previously said his client was willing to plead guilty, so long as he could avoid a death sentence.
Kootenai County Prosecutor Bill Douglas said the fact the U.S. Attorney's Office can now seek death in the event of a federal court conviction changes nothing.
"We're still going ahead," Douglas said Monday night.
Douglas has continually stressed that the two cases -- state and federal -- involve two distinct and different elements.
Douglas is seeking the death penalty if Duncan is convicted of the bludgeoning death of Brenda Kay Matthews Groene, 40, her 13-year-old son, Slade Groene, and boyfriend Mark Edward McKenzie, 37, at their Frontage Road home near Wolf Lodge Bay on May 16, 2005.
Kootenai County Sheriff Rocky Watson said he was also in favor of the trial going ahead.
"The citizens of Kootenai County were also Duncan's victims," he said. "The trial should be here."
He said if convicted, Duncan deserves to die.
"This way, you will have two shots at death because Duncan is evil," Watson said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the federal case begins where the Wolf Lodge killings end.
Authorities said Shasta Groene, then 8, and her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, were taken by Duncan from their Wolf Lodge home to a remote campsites in the Lolo National Forest in Montana.
The federal charges will likely stem from the kidnapping of the children, their transportation across state lines and the gunshot killing of Dylan, whose remains were found days after Shasta was rescued from Duncan at a Coeur d'Alene restaurant on July 2, 2005.
Moss said Duncan would also likely face child pornography charges, as well as sexual abuse charges in the case.
And after the federal case, Duncan still could face first-degree murder charges in the death of a California boy a decade ago.
Ingrid Wyatt, a spokeswoman for the Riverside County District Attorney's Office, said prosecutors are waiting until Duncan's cases in Idaho are finished before filing charges in the death of 10-year-old Anthony Michael Martinez. Duncan has confessed to bashing the boy's head in with a rock in April 1997, then leaving his nude, sexually abused body in the rural Indio desert.
"We're still planning on reviewing the case when our turn comes up," Wyatt said.
Shasta's father, Steve Groene, who is recuperating from a larynectomy in a Seattle hospital, has supported the plea deal to save his daughter from having to testify. His support of that deal has met with opposition from other family members.
McKenzie's mother, Lee Wood, said after meeting with Douglas on Monday, family members still support Douglas' decision to go ahead with the first trial.
"We thought about it and talked to Bill Douglas yesterday," Wood said Tuesday. "I don't care if (Duncan) is given the death penalty in the state or the federal court, but I still want the state's trial to go ahead.
"What if he gets a life sentence in federal court," she said. "This way we have a double chance of a death penalty."
Brenda Groene's mother, Darlene Torres, agreed.
"There is nothing that's going to bring the family back," Torres said. "It's between the state and federal government at this point."
But County Commissioner Rick Currie said aside from the cost, holding two trials is superfluous and could put many people through unnecessary pain.
"I am disappointed in the decision to go ahead" with the state trial, Currie said. "It's going to cost a lot of money and it's going to be redundant."
He said the trial will cost about $1 million.
Currie won't say what reasons Douglas might have for continuing with the state's case.
"I have my opinion why (Douglas wants to go ahead) and as much as I want to say it, I can't."
Currie said it's doubtful that Idaho's death row for Duncan would be much different than if he were sentenced to life without parole.
"The state of Idaho cannot kill him," Currie said. "The case will go through 20 years of appeals."
He noted the case of Donald Paradis, who was freed after 20 years on death row when an appeals court determined the state erred during the prosecution. Once released, the county settled a lawsuit short of trial for $900,000.
"Do I want to see this guy die? Yes," Currie said. "I think everybody does. And the feds will do a good job."
In the past, Adams had sought an arrangement for his client to plead guilty to the Idaho charges, so long as Duncan received life without parole.
Coeur d'Alene defense lawyer Mike Palmer, who is not connected to the Duncan case, said he didn't know how Duncan would benefit from any plea deal which would still allow other jurisdictions to charge him.
Palmer said generally with plea bargains, that means settling for a lesser sentence in one jurisdiction, no matter what happens elsewhere.
"It's the client's decision," Palmer said. "In this case, if there is any offer to accept, ultimately it's up to Duncan."
The next step is for federal prosecutors to take their evidence to a grand jury and seek an indictment.
No time frame for that empanelment was immediately released.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8414718-115997181022905397?l=karpetkitten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/feeds/115997181022905397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8414718&amp;postID=115997181022905397' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/115997181022905397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/115997181022905397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/2006/10/pedophile-serial-killer-joe-duncan.html' title='PEDOPHILE SERIAL KILLER JOE DUNCAN TRAIL COUNTDOWN UPDATE'/><author><name>Karpet Kitten =^.^=</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03789509442581048251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://www.wtv-zone.com/Lasher/images/patriotic.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414718.post-115954380042068096</id><published>2006-09-29T05:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-29T08:30:00.456-07:00</updated><title type='text'>National IMPORTANT POLICE INFO! France names street after a US COP KILLER thats FRENCH!</title><content type='html'>National Fraternal Order of Police Board Report Of National President Chuck Canterbury Salt Lake City, Utah September 8-9, 2006 The National Fraternal Order of Police has been very active in the period since the March 2006 Board meeting. In an effort to maintain continuity in my reports to the Board, this report will be broken down into four areas: Due to the many activities of my office, this report will highlight the major components of the office of the President. Legislative Administrative Labor Activity Calendar Legislative: The mid term election cycle has begun and many Lodges are involved in the endorsement of candidates for office. During this period, I have answered a number of calls for information on the National's perspective on various candidates. The National Legislative Office can and should be contacted in order to provide you with the voting record on your incumbents and the office can provide you a well prepared questionnaire on the issues of interest to the Fraternal Order of Police. During the period of time since the March Board meeting, the FOP has had a number of achievements on Capitol Hill. I think one of the most significant wins was actually a loss of Cynthia McKinney from the United States House of Representatives. As you know, McKinney struck one of our members while he was performing his duties as a Capitol Police Officer and after a long and protracted presentation to the DC Grand Jury which resulted in a vote against indictment, a campaign was launched by the FOP to assist in helping Candidate Hank Johnson unseat McKinney. I want to thank DC Lodge 1, the Capitol Police Labor Committee, The Dekalb County FOP, the Georgia State Lodge and the National Legislative office for working together to make this a reality. The Local Lodge endorsed Hank Johnson in a Primary, the Georgia State Lodge affirmed their support of Johnson and the National PAC fund made a donation to Mr. Johnson's campaign. The FOP conducted dozens of interviews with local and national media outlets and we were recognized as one of the groups that played a major role in Johnson gaining ground in the original Primary. These efforts where successful and McKinney was defeated in the August 8th run off election. This was a concerted effort and I am proud of the membership for all of their hard work. In May of this year, the National FOP took a strong position of support for a resolution introduced by Pennsylvania Representatives that condemned the actions of St. Denis France naming a street for convicted Cop Killer, Mumia Abu-Jamal. As National President, I traveled to Philadelphia and participated in a protest march at the French Consulate on Bastille Day. Philadelphia Lodge 5 is to be commended for their continued support of the Faulkner Family and to Danny's memory. On May 23rd, the National FOP took a strong stand on the efforts to retry two cop killers in Nebraska and we joined with the Nebraska State Lodge condemning the effort to win a new trial for these convicted offenders. In June of this year, the National worked hard to obtain passage on an amendment that would restrict the implementation of the NSPS system by the Department of Defense. This system will be detrimental to our officers in the DOD system and this bill passed the House and we continue to work to see that this bill passes the Senate and stops this system from having an effect on our members. The FOP scored a major victory when the Senate Passed H.R. 4 the Pension Protection Act of 2006. This bill will eliminate the ten percent early withdraw penalty from a government defined benefit plan for public safety officers who are participating in a DROP plan. Under the previous law, an officer who leaves active service before the age of 55 and opts to receive a lump sum payment under DROP before the age of 59 � is subject to an early withdraw penalty of 10%. The bill also included the HELPS provision which provides a tax benefit to help retired public safety officers afford health insurance by allowing the use on a pre-tax basis of up to $3,000 annually from their pension funds to pay for premiums on health care and long term care insurance. The FOP supported and worked very hard to pass this bill. The FOP also worked hard to restore funds to the budget to Byrne Grants programs and we were successful in assisting to get a $120 million dollar net increase over the FY 2006 budget. The FOP Political Action Committee (PAC) made several donations to key congressional partners but we still need your help in raising funds to make our PAC the force that it should be. Please donate today if you have not and I urge the leadership to continue to work to increase our funding for this vital part of our legislative program. During the months since the past Board meeting, I have traveled to DC on a number of occasions and have had daily contact with the Legislative office and the fruits of our labor have indeed been productive. The National Staff does tremendous work and I hope that you will thank them for their efforts. Administrative: The National Administrative office located at 701 Marriott Drive, Nashville TN, has opened and I am sure that Secretary Yoes will provide a more detailed report but I am proud to say that the building is a vast improvement over our last accommodations and we own this one and it is paid for. The National Board is to be commended for this forward thinking and I want to thank everyone involved for this achievement. I especially want to thank the staff for all of their hard work in making the move. After eleven years in one location, it was a monumental task to pack up and move and the staff did an outstanding job in making this happen. The National Executive Board will be conducting an Employee Compensation Study to ensure that the National pay structure is in line with our peers in the market and we will be working in conjunction with Middle Tennessee State University to complete this project. The National Lodge has also been working on a program to ensure that our employee health insurance program is the best that we can provide and we are working with several companies and accepting bids on health insurance polices. Currently our employees do not contribute to this plan and it is our desire to continue this benefit and we are dedicated to providing the best benefits that we can afford. We have been able to increase the life insurance coverage for our employees for just pennies more a month, we are providing $25,000 coverage and also providing coverage on their spouses and dependant children. This is an added benefit and the National pays the entire cost for our employees. The DC Office location needed some cosmetic repairs and these have been authorized and the work is underway. This building has appreciated to almost five times what we paid for it only 11 years ago and we must make sure that we maintain the facility. Jan Gross must be commended for working hard to keep our costs down and I want to thank her for her hard work in this area. The massive computer project is almost finished and by the time of the Board meeting, it should be up and running. This project has been very tough and has frayed nerves, caused ulcers and strained our staff but it will provide us state of the art software and will benefit our membership. All parties involved are to be commended for this wonderful addition to our arsenal of weapons in the battle to provide better member services. The FOP Disaster Relief fund has again been called to action this time by the floods that plagued the North Eastern States in early summer. The Bloomberg Police Department, Bloomberg PA, suffered substantial damage and many of the officers in that area had damage from the floods. I want to thank Gall's for donating 34 sets of BDU's for the Bloomberg Police Department and I am proud to report that the National was able to provide several officers with $500.00 donations to assist them in this time of need. The effort was coordinated by the State Lodge and our system worked well. We continue to struggle with Trademark issues and I encourage you all to report violations to National Secretary Yoes when you find them so we can protect our name. The National FOP RHS program has seen some growth and we continue to work with ICMA to provide them the ability to assist Lodges in implementing programs to benefit our members. The 457 Program has been slow but we are picking up units and this very important FOP owned program needs your support. A report will be provided during the Board meeting on these programs. National Treasurer Penoza and I continue to work on the FOP Bank and we will report our findings as soon as we can but this is a very complicated issue and we must move with slow but deliberate speed in order to protect our interests. Labor: The National Labor Services Director will provide a detailed report on the activities of this section but in an effort to make sure that the important matters are detailed for your review, I offer the following: We continue to work to make sure that the Teamsters and other groups do not find fertile ground to recruit within the FOP family. We are monitoring and working with the Nashville FOP and we have worked with Little Rock in their successful effort to keep the Teamsters out of Arkansas. We have had successful campaigns against the Teamsters in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and South Dakota and these efforts will continue. The National Lodge has had requests from several cities to assist in efforts to decertify their current unions and we are working with them to provide the necessary professional services. During this meeting, the National Labor Committee, pursuant to a motion of this Board, will provide a report on the continuing efforts to expand Labor Services. I urge you each to read this proposal very carefully as it will greatly expand our current program. The committee worked very hard to generate this report and your full attention will be required to make sure that we are moving this organization forward. The Labor Services Section continues to work with the Arizona State Lodge and Lodge 32 in their effort to win the bargaining rights for the Arizona Department of Public Safety. This effort will culminate in an election in November of this year. The National Lodge will again offer the Collective Bargaining seminar in April of 2007 and I have worked with the Education Services Committee to keep the costs in line and to provide the best training we can at a reasonable price. I urge all of the Trustees to make sure that your Lodges are made aware of all National Training opportunities. The Committee will be providing the Blueprint for Success Seminar in Louisville Ky November 9-11, 2006 and I urge you all to get this information out to your locals. On the Federal Sector, I have already reported on my activities working with Capitol Police on the McKinney issue but I did not report on the fact that I traveled to DC and met with many members of this unit to first and foremost let them know that the National FOP was supporting them in their hour of need but to also bring the issue to light. We received a lot of media coverage and the Capitol Police Labor Committee is to be commended for their tireless effort to maintain morale and efficiency at the same time. I recently attended an Arbitration with the Pentagon Police and we are working with the Administration on ways to assist this Labor Committee of DC Lodge. A number of meetings have been accomplished and we will continue to work hard to assist these officers. I have daily contact with the Labor Services Director and we discuss every aspect of this office and I will continue to work to improve on our ability to deliver Labor Services to our members.

��The House and Senate appropriators and authorizers have stripped out a very important law enforcement provision from an amendment which would reauthorize and fund the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In its current form, funds which previously flowed through the Department to law enforcement would be redirected to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), effectively making law enforcement answerable to FEMA. 
��The FOP will not support the spending bill in its current form, which is slated to be acted on next week. We are asking all FOP members to contact their Senators and Representative and ask that they not support the DHS spending bill unless the law enforcement provisions are restored and that law enforcement grants are kept outside of FEMA. 
Contact the National Legislative Office if you need additional information.

Associated Press
MILFORD, N.H. - A teddy bear has been implicated in 2,500 deaths. Of trout, that is. State officials say a teddy bear dropped into a pool at a Fish and Game Department hatchery earlier this month clogged a drain. The clog blocked the flow of oxygen to the pool and suffocated the fish.
Hatcheries supervisor Robert Fawcett said the bear - who was dressed in yellow raincoat and hat - is believed to be the first stuffed bear to cause fatalities at the facility.
"We've had pipes get clogged, but it's usually with more naturally occurring things like a frog or even a dead muskrat," he said. "This one turned out to be a teddy bear and we don't know how it got there."
The deaths prompted Fawcett to release a written warning: "RELEASE OF ANY TEDDY BEARS into the fish hatchery water IS NOT PERMITTED."
He said it's not known who dropped the bear, but urged anyone whose bear ends up in a hatchery pool to find a worker to remove it. "They might save your teddy bear, and keep it from becoming a killer," he said.
"It's kind of a cute little teddy bear and people wouldn't think that a cute little teddy bear would be able to kill fish.

By BRETT BARROUQUERE 
Associated Press Writer 
LOUISVILLE, Ky. � Kentucky's law forbidding protests within 300 feet of military funerals and memorial services was suspended temporarily Tuesday after a federal judge ruled it was too broad.
The law passed earlier this year was aimed at members of a Topeka, Kan., church who have toured the country protesting at military funerals. The Westboro Baptist Church claims the soldiers' deaths are a sign of God punishing America for tolerating homosexuality.�
 Members of the church traveled to Montana in August to stage a protest at the funeral of Marine Cpl. Phillip E. Baucus, the nephew of U.S. Sen. Max Baucus. 
U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell wrote that the law could restrict the free speech rights of people in nearby homes, sidewalks and streets, even if they cannot be seen or heard by funeral participants.
The 300-foot zone "is large enough that it would restrict communications intended for the general public on a matter completely unrelated to the funeral as well as messages targeted at funeral participants," Caldwell wrote in a ruling issued in Frankfort.
Those found guilty of violating the law, which also applies to memorial services, wakes and burials, would face up to a year in jail.
About a dozen states have similar laws in place, and Congress passed a law earlier this year prohibiting protests at military funerals at federal cemeteries.
Kentucky Attorney General Greg Stumbo said he would consider an appeal.
"I believe that society has an interest in honoring its war dead. Funerals are times of sacred and solemn reflection which must be protected from aggressive disruption," Stumbo said in a statement.
Lili Lutgens, general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky, which filed the suit, said Caldwell "reinforced the importance of freedom of expression," and that the ACLU will seek a permanent injunction throwing out the law.
"We continue to support the commonwealth's efforts to protect funerals, but we know it's not necessary to violate the First Amendment to do that," she said.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, attorney for and member of Westboro Baptist Church, praised Caldwell's ruling.
"I'm surprised, but I'm happy about it," Phelps-Roper said.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of Bart McQueary, a Mercer County man who has protested alongside the church members on three occasions. During their protests, members carry such signs as "Thank God for IEDs," the improvised explosive devices used by insurgents in Iraq.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8414718-115936653133297894?l=karpetkitten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/feeds/115936653133297894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8414718&amp;postID=115936653133297894' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/115936653133297894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8414718/posts/default/115936653133297894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karpetkitten.blogspot.com/2006/09/judge-suspends-law-aimed-at-stopping.html' title='Judge suspends law aimed at STOPPING MILITARY FUNERAL PROTESTS'/><author><name>Karpet Kitten =^.^=</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03789509442581048251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://www.wtv-zone.com/Lasher/images/patriotic.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414718.post-115893683151664924</id><published>2006-09-22T04:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-22T07:53:51.536-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I formed a new GROUP to help find my NIECES KILLER!</title><content type='html'>Because of the new evidence in my nieces deadly accident,I have started a yahoogroup dedicated to any info I can put out and you get to me.

Chapman, son Leland Chapman and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody and did not resist arrest, said Mark Hanohano, U.S. Marshal for the district of Hawaii. "It went down without incident," Hanohano said. 
Mona K. Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular cable series "Dog The Bounty Hunter," said Chapman would be vindicated. "He arrests the bad guys - and he is definitely not one of them," she said. 
The charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington. 
Chapman's capture of Luster, who had fled the country after being convicted of raping three women, catapulted the 53-year-old bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on A&amp;E. 
The three are being held in Honolulu. Bail has not been set. They will face an extradition hearing to Mexico under terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, Credic said. 
Chapman's son Leland, 29, and Timothy Chapman, 41, no relation, assist Chapman in exploits chronicled for the TV show around the Hawaiian Islands. The show focuses on Chapman's family as much as the bounty hunting, which generally involves tracking down bail jumpers, often creating emotional scenes with repentant captives. 
Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Vallarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said. 
Mexican authorities demanded that the Chapmans transfer Luster to Mexican police. Their refusal to do so led to their initial arrest. 
A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Wednesday.

POSTED: 9:52 p.m. EDT, September 7, 2006

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- An 11-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by as many as 20 boys as a 16-year-old girl watched and told her what sex acts to perform, authorities say in the latest mob attack to rock Milwaukee and set off another round of civic soul-searching.
"It almost leaves me speechless. It is just senseless acts of violence. It is inhumane. It is embarrassing to the city of Milwaukee and its people. ... There should be outrage," Barbara Nuell-Moore, director of the neighborhood-improvement group Project Respect.
The 16-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy have been charged in juvenile court in the attack, which authorities said took place on Monday in a house on the city's north side. A 40-year-old man who also had sex with the child may also be charged, authorities said.
As for the others, "we're dealing with a lot of nicknames so we're trying to track down these people," said prosecutor Matthew Torbenson.
Numerous violent crimes have shocked the city this summer, starting with a Memorial Day weekend in which 28 people were shot. 
Homicides overall are down this year, but two other categories of violent crime are up from 2005 -- assaults by 22 percent and robberies by 36 percent, Police Chief Nan Hegerty told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Hegerty's spokeswoman said the chief had no comment on the alleged gang rape.
According to court papers, the 11-year-old girl told police she was interested romantically in the 16-year-old girl, who looked and dressed like a boy.
The alleged victim and two friends went to the 16-year-old's house, where the child performed oral sex on three teenage boys, according to court papers. The 40-year-old uncle of the 16-year-old admitted he also had sex with the 11-year-old and told police that the 16-year-old was directing the child, the papers said.
The 11-year-old then went to the basement, where there were about 15 males and she told police she "began to choose who she wanted to perform oral sex on," court papers said.
The 16-year-old told police that the 11-year-old had told her she wanted to perform oral sex on the boys in the house. The 16-year-old denied encouraging her.
The 16-year-old girl and the 15-year-old boy were charged with being a party to sexual assault. Torbenson said he will probably seek to have them tried as adults.
Several mob attacks have taken place in Milwaukee's inner city in recent years. In 2002, more than a dozen people, mostly boys, chased a man through the streets and beat him to death with shovel handles, rakes and tree limbs.
A mentally ill man died after being beaten and robbed by a group in 2004. Four days after that attack, a 14-year-old boy was kicked, punched and hit on the head with a piece of lumber after he exchanged words with a girl. He was in a coma for two weeks. Also that summer, four brothers were beaten by a group armed with bats, bottles, sticks and socks stuffed with canned food.
On Thursday, Alderman Mike McGee Jr. walked through the neighborhood where the alleged sexual assault happened and talked to residents.
He later declared there is a crisis in the city's neighborhoods. "We have to have the community held responsible, parents held responsible. That's the bottom line," he said. 
Willie Brown, 26, who lives in the area of the alleged sexual assault, said Thursday that neighbors are outraged.
"If all those brains couldn't get together and figure out that was a baby?" he said, adding he has a 3-year-old daughter. "I don't have no respect or no love for people who do that." He added: "Whatever they get, they got it coming."

Grandma Kitten flew up from Floria for a week and we spent a few days in stores trying to buy all her personal items that the airport detained.Her BenGay and special color lipstick and her face creams and hair products!Its strange, cause Granny Kitten is a blonde Siamese and all those responsiblefor the terror in our skies and around the world seem to be,well lets just say GRANNY DOESN'T FIT INTO THAT TERRORIST PROFILE.... (yes, I said the "P" word).Those doing all this destruction and havoic are of a specific 'breed'.They all worship the same beliefs, they have similar names and,damn it they all pretty much LOOK ALIKE.I dont think you need tobe a rocket scientist to understand the situation I am playing out here. If all the murdering pigs were NOT so similar we SHOULD impose a ban on ALL TYPES of people.But so far these  crazy catz ARE. Lets say that Dells batteries are blowin up, so they RECALL ALL computer batteries.They aint doing that yet, just the 'types' that are BLOWING UP.(yeah, I am pissed!)  OMG! So why do they CHOOSE to restrict every damn flyer when I,and maybe you and they KNOW WHO and WHAT 'type' of cat these terrorist are? I dont get it at all. Maybe some bacon-fat security stops with some cartoons of Allah and Richard Simmons to REALY get them twitching. I would rather have us apologize to some good Muslims, then impose EVERY AMERICAN FLYER, like Blondes, disabled Americans,old ladies,etc,than to have this specific group of people who infact hi-jacked their own religion. The airports shouldnt have to be so PC.Profiling this group is easy, so far.They have shown us their faces their beleifs,their names.I have not seen any 6 foot Swedes blowing up sh*t yet in this past 5 years.So,yeah, I maybe SIMPILIFYING things a bit,but why NOT.All the Money,Time and worry when we KNOW who wants us dead.I say select these people from airports and DONT NOT ALLOW THEM TO FLY RIGHT NOW.Sorry, its an imposition to a group of people, but the 'good Muslims' should be pissed at the 'bad Muslims' not US!Why havent the 'good Muslims' stood up against the 'bad Muslims' thru all this? I dont know. I just dont think the people in charge of the airport security want to hurt any bodys feelings by PROFILING a group.So they take the girlie man attitude and mess up EVERYBODIES plans.Dont get me wrong, I realy appreciate the hard work of keeping our skies safe.And thankfully, since 9/11/2001 our skies have been free from Islamic terrorists blowing planes up.Thats a hard task,and they should be thanked for that.But this is crazy.     The post is called 'Sheiks on a Plane' to tie into Sam Jacksons new movie 'Snakes on A Plane'.I feel this is the situation we are dealing with.So far, its 'snakes' blowing up planes....not kittens or donkeys,or parakeets or ducks or chickens.It is that simple, cause it is simple.For Petes Sake! PROFILE THE SNAKES!!!!!PROFILE!PROFILE!
