Let's get the facts on this double DUI that occurred in the early morning of 8/18/11. My 4 year old granddaughter was the child involved. Here is the link for Maryland Case Search. http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inquiry/inquiry-index.jsp Agree to the terms and search to your heart content. Abullin aka Joann Marie Fields. A quick search will bear the fruits of her existance. Among the charges you will find an assault on a "stet". She tried to stab my son with a butcher knife in front of my 4 year old granddaughter. Assault, dismissed, closed because my son would not testify. theft under $100, Salisbury University/Cool Beans, stole the money from a kid's wallet on video. You can see Ms. Abdullin makes her parents proud.
To the night in question, Abdullin was caught driving 76 mph, with my granddaughter in the back seat, in a booster seat, not a Maryland Law required car seat in Worcester County by Trooper Fort. Trooper Fort feeling kind of sick of paperwork, decided in his own kingly way, that he would not adhere to Maryland Annotated Code,Md. FAMILY LAW Code Ann. § 5-704 and he would not notify DSS/CPS as required under Maryland law. http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/mdcode/ here you go the Maryland Annotated Code online for free. Look it up... Trooper Fort was required by Maryland law to call DSS/CPS to report this abuse/endangerment/drunk mother going 76 mph with a 4 year old child. Now let's really think. Maryland law, passed by the state to protect the minor child. Maryland State Police motto, to serve and protect. Here is a 4 year old child, bearly able to communicate, awake at 1:30 in the morning with a drunk mother and the MSP don't protect her.
My son, the baby's father gets a call from one of Ms. Abdullin's "friends". Joey, as we fondly call her, before her muslim transformation, was under arrest for DUI, go get the baby. My son, drives to Berlin from Salisbury at 2:00 a.m. to get his child. (recorded in the notes of the MSP as verified by Wicomico County DSS today via telephone) The MSP said, no....no the baby goes with her drunk mother and sober driver aka her green card marriage husband of 4 months. My son drives home and Ms. Abdullin drives away with her Pakistan husband who takes her to her car where she gets in a drives to somewhere for an hour or so before proceeding to her home in Salisbury, MD. Here we go...at approximately 4:00 a.m. I get up for work. My son calls me downstairs to tell me what happened with my granddaughter. My son, beside himself with fear, gets a cell phone call from the famous Ms. Abdullin. She is as he describes to me "drunker than he has ever heard her". My son and Ms. Abdullin were partners since 2005 and the baby is 4. Do the math, they were together for a long time. My son, calls the MSP and tells them that Ms. Abdullin is driving drunk on Route 90 getting onto Route 50 west bound.
He gives a description of the car and the MSP arrest her again for DUI. My son is on the phone, can I get my daughter. No, no, Ms. Abdullin has called someone to come get her. Be advised that there is not a custody order in place. For all purpose after a 6 year relationship, they just broke up. Look at the case law for Joann Marie Fields and you will see no civil matter regarding the baby. Ms. Abdullin in her wisdom assaults the arresting officer and goes off to jail and my granddaughter went off with only God knows.....Again the MSP ignore the laws of Maryland and fail to call DSS/CPS who are on duty 24/7. Where is the justice? Where is the protection and upholding of the law? MSP has no regard for the law. I called the supervisor of Berlin barracks. He told me that DSS/CPS have different rules. He got bossy and loud and rude, like a storm trooper. Told me to call back when I knew who the arresting officer was.
Who is accountable for this? Who violated the rights of my 4 year old granddaughter? Two Maryland State Police from the eastern shore of Maryland....the wild wild shore where the state police by their own admission have different laws than the rest of the citizens.

Ex-Barista With Dwarfism Gets $75,000 From Starbucks in Discrimination Settlement
Starbucks has agreed to pay a former employee $75,000 to settle a discrimination complaint alleging she was fired from an El Paso shop for her dwarfism.
The barista, Elsa Sallard, had asked during her orientation for a stool or small stepladder to accommodate her small stature, a request that was disregarded, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleged in a lawsuit on her behalf.
She was terminated over concerns she posed a "danger" to customers and employees, the lawsuit said.
Attorney Suing Airline for Not Accepting Cash
Once upon a time, cash was king. But more and more technology has tied purchasing power to credit and debit cards for their ease of use. Smartphones are even beginning to play a part in the credit-card payment business with ventures like Square, started by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, which allows anyone with a smartphone and the mini card-reader to accept plastic.
While some find these prospects exciting, New Jersey lawyer Michael Rosen thinks that credit and debit cards shouldn’t be the only form of acceptable payment. And to show his displeasure, he’s suing Continental Airlines for refusing to accept his cash aboard a 10-hour flight from Hawaii to New York.

12 Things You Should Stop Buying Now
The pitch: Fight back against the aches, chills and other misery-inducing symptoms of the flu with herbs or vitamin supplements.
The truth: We’ll let the CDC handle this one. From the agency’s website: “There is no scientific evidence that any herbal, homeopathic or other folk remedies have any benefit against influenza.”
The exception: Chicken soup, especially if it’s homemade. No, it won’t cure anything, but if it makes you feel a little less crummy, slurp away.

The shills on CNBC need to explain how corporate profits are going to go up if the companies are eating these cost increases rather than passing them along to consumers. If they are passing them along to consumers than we have 7% inflation and interest rates need to be raised. Which is it Kudlow and Cramer?
The consumer price index, even with the BLS bullshit adjustments, is showing inflation. Here are the government reported figures:
- The CPI has risen by 3.6% in the last year.
- The CPI is rising at an annual rate of 4% in the last three months.
- The CPI is rising at an annual rate of 5.3% so far in 2011.

Retailers, Restaurants Raise Prices To Offset Costs
Retailers and restaurants are raising consumer prices to help compensate for higher labor costs, which increased the most in almost three years during the second quarter.
Fifty-three percent of these companies with annual sales of $10 million to $500 million have lifted prices during the last 12 months, up from 32 percent a year ago, according to a quarterly survey by Barlow Research Associates. This comes as U.S. inflation excluding food and energy costs accelerated at an annual pace of 1.8 percent in July, the biggest such gain in more than a year, according to Labor Department data released yesterday.
Unit labor costs for nonfarm businesses rose 1.3 percent in the quarter ended June 30 compared with a year ago, as hourly compensation rose while productivity fell, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show.
“This is an early sign that even with high unemployment, labor costs are starting to pick up, giving companies an incentive to raise prices,” said Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital Inc. in New York. Labor costs are the biggest component of business expenses, he said.

Decade In Jail Ordered For Condo Theft
SNOW HILL -- Berlin businessman Bill Scott was found guilty this week on three counts of theft scheme after bilking several resort area condo associations out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and was sentenced to a combined 55 years in jail, all but 10 of which were then suspended.
In April, a Worcester County grand jury indicted Scott, president of Scott and Associates, an accounting and property management firm, on six counts of theft and theft scheme for clearing out the accounts of a handful of condominium associations over a two-year period that ended with his confession earlier this year. His victims included, among others, Sunset Village, Assateague House and San Remo condo associations, from which Scott absconded with over $800,000 from various operating and reserve accounts.

Newark- The Delaware State Police have arrested a Newark pair following a month long investigation into illegal drug sales.
On Thursday, August 18, 2011 at approximately 6:00 a.m., detectives from the Delaware State Police New Castle County Drug Unit with the assistance of the Delaware State Police Special Operation Response Team (SORT) executed a search warrant at an apartment located in the unit block of Capano Drive in Newark. The search warrant was the culmination of a month long investigation by the drug unit into illegal drug sales which were being conducted by Irene M. Hollis, 31, and Angel Garcia, 26, who both reside in the apartment.
As the SORT members entered the residence, they observed Angel Garcia standing in the hallway of the apartment blocking the entrance to the bedroom. He was then ordered to the ground, however, he refused to comply, and had to be forced to the ground and detained. The team members were then able to enter the bedroom. As they did so, they saw the door to the bathroom located inside of the of the room close. SORT members then entered the bathroom where they observed Irene Hollis attempting to flush packets of suspected heroin down the toilet. Hollis was then taken into custody. A 12 year old male child was also present in the residence.
During the subsequent search of the apartment, drug detectives located approximately 1.1 grams of heroin packaged for sale, 2.8 grams of marijuana, 9 tablets of ecstasy, 83 Xanax (1 mg) tablets, 21 Adderall (30 mg) tablets, and 6 Oxycodone (30 mg) tablets, four vials of suspected steroids, and numerous hypodermic syringes. They also located over $1500.00 in suspect drug sale proceeds.
Irene Hollis and Angel Garcia were both arrested and charged with the above list of crimes. They were arraigned at the New Castle County Court of Common Pleas. Hollis was released after posting $38,000.00 cash bail. Garcia was committed to the Howard Young Correctional Facility after failing to post $36,750.00 cash bail.
WORLDWIDE PONZI SCHEME UNRAVELLING
I guess Obama, Pelosi, Kerry, Krugman, and Reid will blame the Tea Party extremists for the 2nd stock market crash in the last two weeks. Americans want sound bites. They want simple concepts because thinking makes their heads hurt. If you are an ignorant American, than you should stop reading now and go back to watching The View. The unravelling of the worldwide financial ponzi scheme has many tentacles and many interconnected pieces, but it all goes back to DEBT and the inability to service that debt with the cash flows being generated by governments, consumers and businesses. Here are the facts:
- Nixon closed the gold window in 1971 and unleashed a never ending torrent of fiat paper into the world.
- Politicians throughout the world, since the late 1960s, have made promises of social welfare benefits to voters in order to get elected. They didn’t worry about demographics or using complicated mathematical concepts like multiplication and addition to figure out that the promises could never be fulfilled.
- The Federal Reserve enabled politicians to create as much debt as they wanted by methodically devaluing the USD by 90% since 1971.

Foreign Students Walk Off Hershey’s Factory Job In Protest
Hundreds of foreign students on a State Department cultural exchange visa program walked off their factory jobs in protest on Wednesday.
The J-1 visa program brings foreign students to the country to work for two months and learn English, and was designed in part to fill seasonal tourism jobs at resorts and seaside towns. The 400 students employed at a Pennsylvania factory that makes Hershey's candies told The New York Times that even though they make $8.35 an hour, their rent and program fees are deducted from their paychecks, leaving them with less money than they spent to get the visas and travel to the country in the first place.
Some of the students were assigned night shifts, and said they were pressured to work faster and faster on the factory lines.
Hershey's said they didn't hire the students when the Times asked:

STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR MARTIN O'MALLEY ON JULY JOBS REPORT
ANNAPOLIS, MD (August 19, 2011) – Governor Martin O’Malley today released the following statement on the July jobs report. Maryland added 8,100 jobs in July, and Maryland’s private sector added 10,400 jobs. So far this year, Maryland has added nearly 14,000 jobs.
“Our number one priority is to create and save jobs. This month’s report from the Department of Labor shows that Maryland is leading a strong jobs recovery with the sixth best private sector performance in the nation this month - creating 10,400 new jobs for our hardworking families. With this month’s gain, Maryland has been able to add 13,900 new jobs so far this year.
“However, in order for businesses to create more jobs, government must do its job. In Maryland and 33 other states, the public sector lost jobs this month—jobs we cannot afford to lose in this fragile recovery. While our unemployment rate at 7.2 percent remains one of the lowest in the nation, it is unacceptably high. I urge Congress to come together for the sake of our jobs recovery, and to find a balanced, fiscally responsible approach that maintains the modern investments needed to create jobs in this modern economy.”

Planet Of The Taxpayers
The remake of The Planet of the Apes – the apes look real this time – purports to give the backstory of how it is that the world came to be governed by primates while the handful of humans are caged and abused.
The story line is so conventional that you could make it up just sitting there. A private-sector biochemical corporation rushes to test a drug that is supposed to reverse Alzheimer's. It is tested on apes and the drug makes them strangely intelligent. But the same drug unleashes a killer virus among humans. The rest is science-fiction history.
The anticapitalism is so familiar that it is not even as disturbing as it should be. The CEO struts around in super-fancy suits, always in a rush from place to place, and his main job is to look cool and bark at everyone. Several times he snaps that drug development is all about profits. He tells a research scientist (paraphrasing): "Don't talk to me about risk. Develop the drug. Then you get famous and I make money. That's the way it works."
Ah yes, corporate management, as told by the movies.
Then there is the privately owned ape prison where the animals are enslaved in cages before being taken to the laboratory to be pumped full of experimental drugs. They are shocked with electric prods, hit with clubs, fed gruel, and humiliated constantly by the jerk in charge.

Is the Fed Treasonous?
The neoconservative talking heads recently took a short time out from praising, deifying, and anointing Texas Governor Rick Perry as the next president of the United States to chastise him for criticizing the Fed. In particular, he was taken to the neocon woodshed for saying that the printing of trillions of dollars of paper currency was harmful to the economy and, since we are in a depression, such an act was "almost treasonous."
Governor Perry could not have been referring to the actual definition of treason that is contained in Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which reads as follows:

Orange Goo On Alaska Shore Was Fungal Spores
Latest analysis did not include toxicity tests; 'We are going have more concern from the public,' city administrator says
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An orange-colored goo that streaked the shore of a remote Alaska village turned out to be fungal spores, not millions of microscopic eggs as indicated by preliminary analysis , scientists say.
Further tests with more advanced equipment showed the substance is consistent with spores from fungi that create "rust," a plant disease that accounts for the color, officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.
The gunk appeared Aug. 3 at the edge of Kivalina, an Inupiat Eskimo community at the tip of a barrier reef on Alaska's northwest coast.
The substance quickly dissipated from the village lagoon and the Wulik River.

Blacks vs. Whites
Black scientists might be less likely than their white counterpartsto win research dollars from the National Institutes of Health. NIH has diversity programs in place but suspected they weren't working well. It commissioned the study, published in the journal Science. It found that women have made gains over the past few decades, but minorities, especially blacks and Hispanics, still make up a small proportion of the nation's doctors, medical school faculty and biomedical researchers. But it isn't clear why there's a gap, because race and ethnicity information is stripped from all applications before they're evaluated. However, NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins said the situation is unacceptable.
The Securities And Exchange Commission Destroys Records?
The Securities and Exchange Commission is under scrutiny for allegedly destroying records in on-going cases. A whistleblower in the agency's enforcement division reached out to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) alleging that documents related to thousands of preliminary investigations had been destroyed. The National Archives said that they reached out to the SEC a year ago after they heard similar allegations of unauthorized disposal of documents. An upcoming Rolling Stone magazine article about the whistleblower has prompted Grassley to reach out to SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro for more information. The National Archives said it worked with the agency and was "satisfied" that the destruction had stopped.
USPS In The News Again
The U.S. Postal Service is preparing to square off with the two biggest postal unions as they begin contract negotiations today. The agency is considering laying off 120,000 workers over the next three years and taking control of its health care and retirement plans as it struggles to remain solvent. Both would require Congress to change the law and overstep current collective bargaining agreements. The National Association of Letter Carriers and the National Postal Mail Handlers Union together represent nearly half of the Postal Service's 560,000 career employees. They have said that they are open to negotiations on all issues. Meanwhile, USPS is looking to negotiate a contract that allows for rapid downsizing and may include wage freezes similar to a deal struck with the American Postal Workers Union in May. The union's current contract expires on Nov. 20.
Developed Lands In Md. Increases
BALTIMORE (AP) -- A Maryland analysis has found that developed lands in the state increased 8.4 percent between 2002 and 2010.
The latest version of the state's Land Use/Land Cover map was released on Thursday. The analysis found that the rate of development since 2002 was twice the rate of population, which increased 4.8 percent.
Are Military Pensions Too 'Generous'?
WASHINGTON (AP) - It sounds like a pretty good deal: Retire at age 38 after 20 years of work and get a monthly pension of half your salary for the rest of your life. All you have to do is join the military.
As the nation tightens its budget belt, the century-old military retirement system has come under attack as unaffordable, unfair to some who serve and overly generous compared with civilian benefits.
That very notion, laid out in a Pentagon-ordered study, sent a wave of fear and anger through the ranks of current and retired military members when it was reported in the news media this month.
If pensions are to be cut, Congress should go first, one person said on the Internet.

Beck Will Start As QB For 'Skins
ASHBURN, Va. - The Redskins play the Colts Friday night, with John Benck starting as quarterback in the Redskins' second preseason game.
Beck's start reaffirms that Beck and Rex Grossman remain on equal football in the battle for the starting job, despite the groin injury that kept Beck out of the first game.
Beck slightly strained his groin while stepping up to avoid a defender during a practice on Aug. 7. The injury limited his ability to roll out and bootleg, so he was kept out of 11-on-11 team drills last week and sat out the 16-7 victory over Pittsburgh. Grossman got the start and made quite a statement - completing 19 of 26 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown in one half.
Now Beck gets his turn Friday night against the Indianapolis Colts.

The New Abnormal: Permanently Engineered Market Volatility
If the gut-wrenching market volatility of the past few weeks has made you sick to your stomach , I have some bad news for you: violent volatility is the new normal - or more precisely, the new ab-normal.
After massive market moves last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 419.63 points yesterday (Thursday). And, while t hat may be bad news for average investors, it's something Wall Street wants.
If you're not a day-trader, high-frequency trader, hedge-fund manager, or institutional desk trader, reading this is going to make you mad as hell. But it's something you have to know, understand, and accept if you're going to be a successful investor going forward.
The reality is that in their crusade to manufacture extraordinary personal wealth, Wall Street insiders have engineered volatility into the capital markets.
This change is permanent.
Indeed, the same dangerous volatility that destabilizes markets creates innumerable trading opportunities for Wall Street's proprietary traders. These traders feed off each other and off their banking-industry clients.
The game is simple: Wall Street creates market volatility, some of which leads to panic. Panicked investors, in desperate searches for safety, turn to "experts" for protection. And Wall Street rakes in the profits - not just from their market-crushing trades, but from the investment fees they charge individual investors, companies and nations.
It's similar to how the mafia might trash your business and then offer to "sell" you their protection services.
By increasing volatility in stock, bond, commodity and real estate markets, The Street has created a self-perpetuating moneymaking machine.

Unlocking Deep Throat's Territory With New Rosslyn Marker
The dark corner in the cavernous underground lot houses space 32D, the significance of which was previously only marked by a newspaper clipping taped to a nearby column.
But Arlington residents now will know their morning walk to the Metro passes by the location where the late FBI second in command, Mark "Deep Throat" Felt, passed state secrets to Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward for a string of stories that would eventually take down a president -- what would come to be known as the Watergate scandal.
A new sign outside the unremarkable parking garage on North Nash Street near Wilson Boulevard identifies a location most Americans have heard about, but very few could pinpoint.
"I never realized anything happened over here in Rosslyn," said passerby Laura Goodspeed of Arlington. "Now walking by, people will know what happened in our neighborhood."

How Safe Is Tobacco That Melts In Your Mouth?
Big name tobacco brands are ramping up their presence in the dissolvable tobacco game, and consumers in test markets, as well as regulators, are trying to figure out what make of the new products.
In early 2011, in Colorado and North Carolina, R.J. Reynolds began test-marketing Camel-branded wares — tobacco compressed into toothpicks, mints and strips that dissolve in your mouth. Unlike cigarettes, they produce no smoke, and unlike smokeless tobacco, you don't have to spit when you use them. Aimed at adult smokers who want a nicotine kick in cigarette-free zones, Camel ads tout the products with the tag line, "What you want, when you want, where you want."
Our Handy Guide To The Best Coverage On Gov. Rick Perry And His Record
Rick Perry has made plenty [1] of headlines [2] since he announced his presidential bid. But with the deluge of day-to-day coverage, it’s hard to get a sense of his actual record. We’ve selected some of the best reading on Perry to help you get oriented.
The basics:
If you want to go beyond the bio on Perry's [3] campaign page [3], Texas Monthly reporter Paul Burka’s guide for Yankee journalists [4] is a good place to start. It’s a list of eight insights gleaned from covering Perry since the 1980s, including the ways that Perry has reinvented the role of governor in Texas, and how his rural upbringing has shaped his politics.
Perry is considered one of the most conservative 2012 GOP contenders [5]. An interesting story in the National Review details how Perry is more conservative than his predecessor [6], former President George W. Bush. (The piece also dishes on Perry’s tense relationship with Bush.) Perry is also known for being among the first politicians to embrace the Tea Party movement [7]. Perry believes that homosexuality is wrong and has written about how secular humanism is bad for society [8]. He has expressed skepticism about many Federal government programs and has called Social Security “a Ponzi scheme [9].”
At a rally in 2009, Perry told reporters that Texas might secede if it got [10] too fed up [10] with Washington. Perry’s campaign said this week that Perry does not advocate secession.
The Texas Observer also details Perry’s ties to the New Apostolic Reformation movement [11], a strain of Christian belief in which politics and faith are intertwined.
Perry is also skeptical of evolution. While campaigning in New Hampshire this week, Perry told a 9-year-old boy that evolution is a "theory that’s out there" that’s "got some gaps in it [12].” He also said that Texas public schools teach both evolution and creationism. TPM reports that teaching creationism in public schools was ruled unconstitutional in 1987 [13]. (Updated 8/18)
A 2006 profile in the Dallas Morning News gives us a look at Perry’s early life and how he got into politics [6]. To gain insight into Perry as a campaigner, Texas Monthly interviewed several people who’ve run against him and lost [14]. The Texas Tribune profiles the people in Perry’s inner circle [15].
