Lobbyists The Silver Lining In Health Care Storm?

As lawmakers squabble, health care groups focus on how to get ahead

WASHINGTON - A strong force, perhaps as powerful in Congress as President Barack Obama, is keeping the drive for health care going even as lawmakers seem hopelessly at odds.
Lobbyists.

The drug industry, the American Medical Association, hospital groups and the insurance lobby are all saying Congress must make major changes this year. Television ads paid for by drug companies and insurers continued to emphasize the benefits of a health care overhaul — not the groups' objections to some of the proposals.

Gates Agrees To Beer With Obama, Policeman

Black Harvard scholar ‘happy to oblige’ in peace-making effort

WASHINGTON - A prominent black Harvard University scholar accepted an invitation to have a beer with President Barack Obama and the white police officer who arrested him in a racially charged case.

Professor Henry Louis Gates said Saturday he was willing to have a peace-making beer with Obama and Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley.

Gates was arrested last week at his home after a neighbor called police to say that a man was breaking into the house. Obama said Cambridge police had "acted stupidly," prompting an outcry from police groups and a resulting media blitz.

Robbery Investigation In Rehoboth Nets Two Suspects

Location of Incident: Route 1 and Route 273 in Rehoboth, Delaware, Sussex County

Date of Occurrence: Saturday, July 25, 2009, at approximately 1:00 a.m.

Suspect(s):
Sean-Dre McGee, 15, of Rehoboth, Delaware
Jamal Duncan, 20, of Estate Drive in Rehoboth, Delaware

Resume: At approximately 1:00 a.m. this morning, two Russian females, who are working in Rehoboth for the summer, were walking home along Route 1. They were confronted by two masked males suspects- Sean-Dre McGee and Jamal Duncan.

One of the suspects was armed with a handgun and they both demanded cash. Because of a language barrier, the suspects became frustrated and forcibly took a purse from one of the females. The suspects then fled the scene on foot to a nearby gas station where their get-away car, a Ford Taurus, was parked.

The suspects fled northbound on Route 1, however, their car became disabled in the center median. A Trooper on route patrol, who was unaware of the robbery, stopped to help. He rendered aid and took note to the suspects’ names. He then cleared the scene and went back on patrol.

A short time later, this very same Trooper learned of the robbery and the suspects’ descriptions. He contacted back-up and responded to Sean-Dre’s residence. Here, the officer spoke with the suspect and his guardian. Through this contact with McGee, he was able to successfully link him to the crime.

Next, patrol officers and detectives responded to the home of Jamal Duncan. When they arrived on the scene, they knocked on the door several times announcing themselves. Duncan refused to come out. After about an hour, officers made entry into the home where they took Duncan into custody without further incident.

Both of the suspects were transported back to Troop 7 for processing.

Sean-Dre McGee was formally charged with Robbery, Attempted Robbery, Wearing a Disguise during the Commission of a Felony, Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony and Conspiracy (all felony charges). He was committed to the Stevenson House in lieu of $34,000.00 secured bond.

Jamal Duncan was charged with the same offenses as McGee and was also charged with Resisting Arrest (misdemeanor).

Bail information for Duncan is not available.

Missing Bird May Be Found: Zoo

By Teresa Masterson, Dan Stamm
NBCPhiladelphia.com

A yellow tropical bird residing at the Philadelphia Zoo flew the coop Wednesday but may have returned early afternoon Friday, said Zoo sources.

Officials at the Zoo did not release how or where they may have found the missing Sun Conure bird. They will not be able to verify that the bird found is the correct one until Friday night, sources said.

Basically they captured a bird that they believed could be the bird but they weren't able to tell for sure as of Friday afternoon, said Zoo officials.

Bay Area Chef Appears On 'Regis & Kelly'

A little history first. Karen & Kevin Howe are Albero family friends going back to the 1950's. I grew up with Karen Cunningham, (now Howe) and quite frankly these are by far some of the kindest people I have ever known. Anyhow, even after all of these years we all stay in touch and enjoy each others company whenever we can break away from our abnormal lives but the reunion is always the best.

Anyhow, Chef Kevin Howe entered a contest with Live with Regis and Kelly and WON yesterday! Congratulations Kevin & Karen and HELLO CUNNINGHAM FAMILY!



Chef Kevin Howe makes a delicious pork tenderloin

SPRING HILL, Fla. - It's an announcement that has turned this little restaurant in Spring Hill upside down: Chef Kevin Howe of the County Line Cafe and Grill is the winner of this week's "Live with Regis and Kelly's Ultimate Hometown Grill Off."

The news is spreading fast.

"We have people in Ireland that voted for us because they know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that called," says restaurant employee Shane Cunningham. "We have customers that call that said, 'Wow we heard about you'."

Chef Howe's winning dish is a mouth-watering sesame, ginger, and lime grilled pork tenderloin.

"It just melts in your mouth. It's just so good," customer Karen Young says. "I had to try it of course but it's just great. It's fantastic. But of course everything Kevin makes is great."

Young is a regular at the cafe. She was one of thousands who voted for Howe during the contest.

"It's been crazy," Cunnigham says. "It's been absolutely nuts. They're reading. They're hearing. It's been remarkable."

A white board thanks customers for the support, while letting everyone know of the chef's T-V debut Friday, when he gets to show off his "skills on the grill" to the nation.

"When Kevin talks about food you can see the passion," Young says. "He loves the job."

While Howe won this week's contest, there is still a national competition that ends on August 16. To help him win, visit liveregisandkelly.com and click on the "Hometown Grill Off" icon to vote.

The winners of the contest will appear in New York and compete against each other for the best dish.

The overall winner will appear in an upcoming issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

The White Rodney King

One Woman's Opinion

I sent this message to Senators Mikulski, and Cardin and to Congressman Kratovil. I also sent it to a couple newspapers. I am only one voice and more people should be "only one voice" before it is too late and we are unable to speak without retribution.

I can't be silent any more. If it kills me at least I will know I went down fighting.


Before any "government sponsored health insurance" is mandated on the public, I think the Congress and Administration should try using it for one year. Then and only then should they consider requiring the citizens of this nation to use it.

I have tried very hard to accept and support this man the people of this great nation elected to be our President. I have held my breath and promised not to condemn himand the Congress for the bills they have passed without reading and the horrible debt they have placed on my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I kept saying to myself "He is your President, give him and them a chance, maybe they can correct some of the wrong." Now, the time has come for words to be spoken; not just by me but from ALL Americans that care what is happening to us.

The "silent majority" can no longer be silent. The past six months have done more
damage to our nation than a war on our soil could have done. Our so called
representatives in Washington are raping our nation and all of us. If we the people
remain silent, we are just as responsible as those committing the crimes. My husband
and I have worked all our lives to assure the prosperity of this country and to support those that have gone before us. Now, we are seniors and are threatened with losing the benefits we provided for others and earned the right to have. We have never wanted to own or operate any of the automobile manufacturers or the banks or the investment companies this government has taken control of. We, the people, are what makes this country great not an over powering government. We must speak up, take control and stop the carnage taking place in Washington before it completely devours all we have cherished for generations.

Palin Ethics Investigator Closely Tied To Democratic Party

Independent investigator Thomas Daniel has contributed $3,500 in recent years to Democratic causes, including $1,500 to John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004 and $1,000 to Alaska Sen. Mark Begich's senatorial campaign last year.

The independent investigator who has accused Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of violating state ethics laws is a major donor to the Democratic Party as well as a partner in a law firm that represented Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

Thomas Daniel was hired by the Alaska Personnel Board in late April to investigate several complaints against Palin, including one filed by an Alaska resident who claims the governor used her official position for personal gain by authorizing the creation of a trust to use as her legal defense fund.

In a July 14 report leaked to The Associated Press and major news organizations, Daniel accused Palin of drawing improper gifts and unwarranted benefits. His report recommended that Palin refuse to accept payment from the defense fund and settle the complaint to avoid a formal hearing before the board.

Palin's supporters say the governor, who will resign on Sunday, needs the legal fund because of a quirk in Alaska law that prevents state officials from defending the state's chief executive against ethics allegations.

"The whole situation is nuts," said John Coale, a prominent Washington attorney who helped set up the legal fund, which so far has accepted $500,000 in donations. "Alaska has an ethics law that is unsustainable."

Coale also accused the personnel board of being "either vicious or idiotic" to hire Daniel, whose law firm is closely tied to the Democratic Party.

Documentary Validates Chemtrails And Weather Warfare

Joe,

I have researched the Chemtrail topic for several years now. Clifford Carnicom has thoroughly documented the phenomenon on his website: www.carnicom.com

Here is a History Channel video on the subject of chemtrails and weather warfare. The Navy has a public policy of wanting to "own the weather by 2025". I believe we are being sprayed almost daily by dangerous chemicals, biological elements, and harmful elements like aluminum and barium. A closely related topic to research is H.A.A.R.P. or High Altitude Auroral Research Project in Anchorage, Alaska. It is the technology bragged about by Exxon Corporation in the commercial which touts their ability to "look into the earth" to find natural gas, oil, etc.

Another Arrest In Prison Contraband Investigation

Emily Trout, 22, of Beaver Dam Road in Lewes, was arrested yesterday on 3 counts Conspiracy 3rd for her part in the Prision Contraband Investigation which was reported this week. For her part, Ms. Trout accepted and cashed checks in exchange for tobacco products which were making their way back into SCI. Ms. Trout is the girlfriend of William Weedon III (also arrested). Upon her arraignment, she was released on a $1,500.00 unsecured bond.

Dangerous Trees In Salisbury

I read your article on Old Growth Tree that fell on a car. You should ride to the intersection of E Gordy rd and Beaglin Park Drive. On the NW corner of the intersection are 2 Oak trees. I presume they are dead being they have no leaves on them. If you look at the trees you will notice they have had a chainsaw cutting on them. One tree has a cut all the way around it. The other does also and has a notch cut in it but they didnt knock the notch out. These 2 trees have been weakend by the cutting and one will probably fall into the intersection when it drops. I dont ride throught the intersection because of that. I dont know if they will fall on their own due to the cuts but the property owner is irresponsible for leaving them that way. The county public works probably cant do a thing about it being it is on private property. I say that but if you have an untagged car on your lot they are quick to put an orange sticker on it and call it a nuisance. Maybe some "publicity" on your site can help bring these 2 hazards to the ground.

Why Cancer Fears Me

PONDER THIS:

A large post office I visited yesterday had three pens on strings for customers to use. Except one was missing and one

was out of ink. So there was a line of people waiting to use the only functioning pen. If the federal government cannot

provide working pens at the post office, can it run the health care system? We may soon find out.

Hoboken Mayor Arrested Just 3 Weeks Into Term

Just 32, he's accused of joining long list of corrupt New Jersey politicians

HOBOKEN, N.J. - Even in a state where corruption seems institutionalized, the arrest of a neophyte mayor in office a mere three weeks stands out.

Voters might wonder how Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, no grizzled politician but a 32-year-old lawyer with a promising political career, could be accused of taking $25,000 in bribes after watching so many politicians follow the same road to jail.

Authorities said that what he told a government witness wearing a wire — a purported real-estate developer whom Cammarano assured he would treat "like a friend" — not only led to his arrest but also added a new chapter to New Jersey's culture of corruption.

Fatal Crash Investigated Near Laurel

Location of Incident: 28000 block of Seaford Road (aka US13a), approximately 1 mile north of Laurel, Delaware, Sussex County

Date of Occurrence: Friday, July 24th, 2009 at approximately 9:47 p.m.

Resume: The DSP Collision Reconstruction Unit in Sussex County is investigating a fatal crash from last night.

Just prior to 10:00 p.m., a 2000 Dodge Dakota pick-up was traveling northbound on Seaford Road, approximately 1 mile north of Laurel, at a high rate of speed. The Dodge proceeded to pass a car ahead, on this two lane road, and lost control when attempting to return to the proper lane.

The Dakota slid sideways for over 250’ before striking a large oak tree on the driver’s side. The impact with the tree, which occurred just off the east edge of the roadway, caused the Dodge to split into two pieces.

The operator, Roderick Conn, 54 years of age of Seaford, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing his seatbelt.

This crash remains under investigation.

Liberal, Conservative Dems Feud Over Health Bill

Colleagues accuse use one another of lying, ‘empowering the Republicans’

WASHINGTON - House Democrats feuded openly over health care Friday before shaking hands on a deal that guaranteed only that they would keep negotiating, wrapping up a week in which consensus on a sweeping overhaul of the nation's health-care system seemed to diminish by the day.

White House aides announced a week ago that President Obama was ready to "take the baton" for his biggest domestic campaign initiative, and indeed Obama campaigned for his proposals nearly nonstop this week, including taking an hour to make his case directly to the American public on prime-time television.

Despite the president's attentions, Congress was further Friday from passing health-care legislation than it was on Monday, with only days left before lawmakers leave Washington for their August recess.

‘Crime’ Or Self-Defense? Iraq Tries To Arrest GIs

Deadly Baghdad clash underscores rift over interpretation of U.S.-Iraq deal

ABU GHRAIB, Iraq - When insurgents attacked an American convoy with AK-47 rounds and a couple of grenades on a dusty highway in a Baghdad suburb this week, U.S. soldiers returned fire, chased the suspects through narrow alleyways and raided houses.

Tuesday's clash killed two Iraqi adults and a 14-year-old and wounded four people, including two children.

When the shooting subsided, another confrontation began. A senior Iraqi army commander who arrived at the scene concluded that the Americans had fired indiscriminately at civilians and ordered his men to take the U.S. soldiers into custody. The U.S. military said the soldiers had acted in self-defense and had sought to avoid civilian casualties; U.S. commanders at the scene persuaded the Iraqis to back down.

Mandatory Vaccines

Joe,

The possibility of mandatory vaccines is very real. It has been discussed by the World Health Organization, and members of our own government. Vaccines in general, are a very controversial subject matter. Real understanding of the subject requires much research. I think it a good idea to encourage people to give some thought to vaccines now, while there is no "mandate". Once the time comes for the vaccine, it is a little late to give it some thought. How do people feel about vaccines? Are they safe? Are they related to Gulf War Illness? Are they related to Autism? I think the subject could be a very good one for the commenters.

Obama Tries To Quell Racial Uproar

Obama Invites Cop, Professor to White House for Beer

NATICK, Mass. (July 23) -- President Barack Obama concedes his words — that a white police officer "acted stupidly" when he arrested a black university scholar in his own home — were ill-chosen. But, while he invited both men to visit him at the White House, Obama stopped short of publicly apologizing for his remark.

The president personally telephoned the two men, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley, in an effort to end the rancorous back-and-forth over what had transpired and what Obama had said about it. Trying to lighten the situation, he even commiserated with Crowley about reporters on his lawn.
