"Corasanti Wraps Up Testimony"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Another Juror Dismissed in Corasanti Trial
Please enter your comments below.
Another request for mistrial
Is this going to Joel's strategy, calling for a mistrial every 5 minutes. I guess he can see the handwriting on the wall. Good job Joel.
Juror dismissed
Jury duty is tedious..also the ramifications put forward by defense and prosecution are inane. Find someone in this area who has not heard of this infamous trial and I will tell you they are lying. This is not a sequestered jury..of course they read local periodicals. Corasanti's issues should take a back burner. I am so sick of updates on my 'phone and front page news regarding what's going on. He was wrong and she was also wrong. It's not a moot point because someone lost their life. I had (still have) a very irresponsible daughter. When she was Alix's age my daughter was very much in my radar. Still is. I don't understand how a parent or parents would say - "Hey, it's cool. Ride your thingie home in the dark. " or whatever it was that transpired or didn't between this family unit. I live in the Southtowns and the traffic is not nearly as bad as what occurs up North. I also drive at night so I do, on occasion, come across some misguided youth out on the streets. I refer to them as "sfb's". It's dangerous in the dark with no reflective clothing on or material on a moving device- read skateboard or bike.
crying towel time
What a sob story. Daniels must have an acting coach on staff to present such a tearjerker.
Questions ???
Some questions he should have been asked.... 1.- If he wasn't drunk, why didn't he drive back to the scene instead of sending his wife? 2.- If he wasn't impared, why did he not drive to NOCO to meet the police? 3.- Why in a million years would he run down the street saying his career was ruined & he wasn't going to go to jail?
The Face of Death
The doctor and his entire defense team spin a yarn so far-fetched and laden with holes that they better be praying for a mistrial. This arrogant man would have had to have been "under the weather" to not notice the enormous dent and damage to his death vehicle. He has by his insistence that he knew not what he hit and his persistence in dragging Alix's family through this turmoil instead of admitting the prosecution has abundantly shown and common-sense tells a reasonable person..... he panicked and ran.... made a terrible situation for the family all the more painful....but without ever realizing or perhaps considering the possibility Corasanti has made his face the very Face of Death for decades to come. As to the danger of the dark....yes it is more dangerous to be out in the dark....that is why since recorded time we have huddled by fires and kept the night watch. Nevertheless the dark offers little danger compared to a 3 ton missile careening around in the dark....and for anyone who has actually visited the scene of this tragedy at night there are street lights that make it bright enough to toss a football at midnight....check it out for yourselves...and then consider how implausible the Doctor's story is.

That's so cool that one of the Seaveys were inspired by Sgt. Preston. I just barely remember it; I think there must have been some oldies channel rerun. But what I really remember is the theme music. So lilting! Could there have been a comic book that I came across? In any case, it was a very exciting idea for a show, and it's easy to see why.
They had the BEST montages for this year's Iditarod, too. I LOVED the one from the re-start/Day 1. Not that it has anything to do with crashes or injuries, btw.

In what is usually the case for Roy Williams supremely talented youngster, Brandan Wright once again showed flashes of downright amazing ability against Georgetown this afternoon. In addition to the usual assortment of athletic dunks, rebounds and fast break exploits, Wright showed off immense offensive skill in specific moments. But at the same time, there were also rough patches. He struggled to finish several times in the second half, and couldnt contain Jeff Green to save his life.
As far as the offense goes, of course we are talking about the pair of jump hook-half floater moves that were nothing short of NBA-caliber. With Wrights wingspan, body control and athleticism, such as shot is virtually impossible to block, no matter which league Wright is playing in. Even more impressive was the touch with which he finished the scores, something that he has struggled with for most of the season. It was certainly Wrights night in the shooting department, as the sub-par free throw shooter managed to convert all 6 of his attempts at the charity stripe. Simply put, if Wright can become more consistent with these types of moves, it wont be long before he is proving right all those that have compared him to Chris Bosh.
But as the game wore on, Wright seemed to lose his edge. His length and athleticism stopped appearing on the offensive glass and in the open court, while he struggled to finish against physical Georgetown defenders. But the real problem came on the defensive end, where Green abused him in pretty much every imaginable manner. Whether it was poor awareness that led to backdoor cuts and easy points, a lack of foot speed on the perimeter, and absolutely no physical intensity or toughness, Wright basically let Green do what he wanted for most of the game. This is particularly disappointing to see from a player with such immense raw potential on the defensive end.
While Wright certainly has his rough edges and must put on a significant amount of weight before he is ready to be an NBA big timer, it was a productive season for the Tennessee product. His ability to finish at the rim was a big part of why the Tar Heels were able to come back against USC, but this afternoon he faded away down the stretch. Needless to say, Brandan Wright has a very tough decision ahead of him. Could he turn an almost certain spot in the top 5 and return to Chapel Hill to further polish up a few of his weaknesses?
With Tyler Hansbrough in foul trouble and clearly not himself tonight, North Carolina was forced to look to their extremely talented freshman Brandan Wright to help take out a very tough USC team.
Wright started off this game quite slow, like most of the Tar Heels, only hitting his first field goal with about 10 minutes to go in the first half. Wright has lacked some focus in the NCAA tournament so far, and it was slightly worrying to see him running up and down the court looking pretty dazed in the first quarter of the game.
Eventually, he started picking it up first and foremost on the offensive glass, and that got his entire game going as North Carolina made an outstanding run to close out the game in the second half. Wright pulled down 5 offensive rebounds on the night, and managed to score off every single one of them. Once with a terrific put-back jam, another time with a tip in off the glass, and in others just collecting the board over USCs undersized frontcourt and slamming it home with the greatest of ease.
In terms of evaluating his face-up game, tonight was a step back for North Carolinas talented freshman. He struggled putting the ball on the floor effectively and hitting any of his attempts from outside of the paint, missing a mid-range jumper from around the free throw line and on another occasion not even hitting the rim on another attempt. He contributed in other ways, though, running the floor extremely well as always and getting the job done with his beautiful jump-hook. Late in the game he showed a glimpse of why so many people have him pegged as a sure-fire top 5 pick in this years draft, scoring on an extremely tough one-handed attempt by just elevating off the floor and throwing the ball in the basket at the apex of his jump from a tough angle with incredible touch and feel. With so many other of the top prospects having strong performances in one game or another so far in this tournament, it was nice to see Brandan Wright get into the mix as well, although he could have done a lot more despite scoring 21 points. Still, you cant ignore the upside he shows, and thats why hes so highly regarded himself.
Clearly the second most impressive performance in the ACC tournament (after Brandon Costner) belonged to Brandan Wright of North Carolina. Not looking like he broke a sweat the entire weekend, Wright needed to step for the Tar Heels since Tyler Hansbrough wasnt himself playing with a broken nose.
Wright glided up and down the court effortlessly in every moment he was on the floor, not forcing a thing and looking extremely comfortable in his role as a finisher in and around the paint. At times you feel like things are just too easy for Wright at this level, as hes never asked to go outside of what he does best and is therefore a little more difficult to evaluate than the Odens and Durants of the world, who need to shoulder much bigger roles for their teams. This is exactly why he managed to shoot nearly 70% from the field from the tournament, and is converting 66% of his field goals on the year.
Regardless, he seems to be showing a little more every game he steps out on the floor, for example in knocking down a 14-foot jumper from the baseline or creating a little bit off the dribble for himself. He gets his points primarily though moving off the ball intelligently within Carolinas loaded lineup and presenting himself for easy catches and finishes within 8 feet of the hoop, usually with his gorgeous left-handed jump-hook.
What did stand out more than anything was the phenomenal athleticism, length, touch and instincts he has at his disposal. Hes a fluid athlete with excellent quickness and body control, able to explode off the floor effortlessly to finish bounce passes with a two handed dunk, catch alleyoops thanks to his terrific hands, block shots on occasion, or put-back any offensive rebounds that are lurking around the rim. One play that showed how his tools can be brought together all at once occurred deep in the second half of UNCs blowout victory over Florida State. Wright ran the floor smoothly in transition with his guards and was thrown an errant alley-oop lob well out of his range, but somehow managed to still elevate and get a finger tip on the pass as it was sailing out of bounds to convert the basket with his left hand. These are the kind of instances where it clearly doesnt hurt to have a 7-5 wingspan. On another simple play against Boston College, Wright went over the top of a couple of Golden Eagle defenders and stuck his hand in out of nowhere to tip out a defensive rebound to a streaking Bobby Frasor running down court for an easy layup in transition. You might not have thought much of it at the time, but there are only a select number of players in the NCAA who can make a play like that, let alone do it so easily.
Although he seems to be playing slightly harder than he did earlier in the year, phrases like effortless and too easy dont get to attached to him for nothing. For example, theres no excuse why a player with his tools should only pull down 11 rebounds over a three game stretch playing 30 minutes per game. This is the main beef scouts we spoke with in Tampa had with him, wondering just what kind of drive he has to be the best possible player he can be. Thats also where the comparisons to Channing Frye and LaMarcus Aldridge are coming from, although hes clearly an even more naturally gifted player than those two. If he played with even half the intensity of his teammate Tyler Hansbrough, we might even be having a discussion about him competing with Oden and Durant for the #1 pick. Its not that hes lazy, he just has a very calm and relaxed demeanor to him. Thats all nice and dandy playing alongside a roster that is chock full of NBA talent, but at the next level that just wont fly if hes to reach his full potential.
Its hard not to wonder how much better (or worse?) Wright might be if he was playing on a team with slightly less talent that allows him to just coast at times and score so easily off his terrific playmakers and the attention Tyler Hansbrough draws. Unfortunately, we might have to wait until hes in the NBA to find that out.
In what might have been the biggest road test of his young college career so far, Brandan Wright helped carry his extremely talented North Carolina squad to an important victory over arch-rival Duke at Cameron Indoor. In only 24 minutes of action, Wright led the Tar Heels in scoring with 19 points and 9 rebounds, coming up with quite a few important baskets in key moments. Hes been steadily improving all season long despite not having nearly as many plays called for him as his frontcourt mate Tyler Hansbrough, but has regardless responded by producing consistently and efficiently and shooting over 64% from the field. Against Duke, Wright again showed his ever-expanding arsenal of moves in the post, scoring effortlessly from the field and doing an excellent job keeping his team in the game.
When considering what makes Wright such an intriguing NBA draft prospect, you have to start with his physical attributes. A solid 6-10 with a gigantic 7-4 ½ inch wingspan, he is an incredibly smooth guy for someone his size. He runs the court fluidly and effortlessly, and has a tremendous burst of initial quickness that most college big men just have no idea how to deal with.
More than just an athletic marvel, though, Wright also has excellent instincts despite his obvious lack of experience, being capable of executing a handful of moves that automatically separate him from nearly every other big man prospect in the country. His feet are incredibly quick, enabling him to hedge screens on the perimeter or display superb response time reacting defensively in the post. This allows him to cover an unnatural amount of ground in very short spans. That, combined with his tremendous length makes him a potential terror down the road on the defensive end, and even despite his quite obvious rawness on this end of the floor, he still blocks nearly 2 shots per game just purely off his physical gifts and instincts.
Offensively, Wright has become an absolute rock for UNC in the mid to low post this season. His outstanding hands allow him to catch nearly anything that is thrown his way, making him an incredibly reliable threat to convert easy baskets while running the floor in transition (stride for stride with UNCs speedsters) or cutting to the basket off a pick and roll play. This is how he scores most of his points at the moment, but as Coach Roy Williams begins to trust his superbly talented freshman more and more, hes getting more plays called for him and is being allowed to show off the finesse part of his game.
Wright lacks the upper body strength to back defenders down in the post with his back to the basket, but his incredible quickness gives him the opportunity to surprise his man with a quick spin towards the basket to get off a beautiful jump-hook shot. A natural lefty, he releases this lethal jump-hook shot with either hand and from an extremely high point of release, making it nearly unblockable considering how quickly he sets up and gets it off. Wright has been nearly automatic for Carolina all season long close to the basket, showing phenomenal touch off the glass and great awareness of where he is on the floor. Lately, hes been mixing in a very effective one dribble pull-up shot from 8-12 feet that he looks very confident in and gives him just another weapon to go to when facing the basket.
Beyond 12 feet is where Wrights range appears to abruptly end, though, shooting just 56% from the free throw line due to his extremely ugly looking shooting mechanics-- elbow flailing out to the side and everything. Considering his slender frame, which can surely take more weight, but might always remain on the lanky side, it will be important for him to develop a real skill-set facing the basket from the perimeter. His long arms make it difficult for him to handle the ball in tight, half-court situations, and his terrible shooting mechanics need serious work before hell be considered any type of threat to stretch the defense.
The biggest beef we have with Wright, though, has more to do with his lackadaisical approach to the game. He seems like a pretty laid back kid by nature, not showing too much fire or emotion, but that also shows up in his inconsistent focus and intensity level at times as well. He certainly doesnt go after every rebound with the kind of passion the great glass-cleaners in the NBA do, and he can be quite tentative at times making rotations within the team defense. Some scouts we talked to have already begun to question his heartbeat to a certain extent, but its hard to tell how much of that has to do with his youth and secondary role on North Carolina and how much is a real reason for concern. Wright could help dispel those notions immediately by hitting the glass with more enthusiasm and being more of a beast on both ends of the floor. Regardless, hes having a phenomenal freshman season and will likely continue to improve and see his role expand as we move into the NCAA tournament.
In the Preseason NIT, the UNC freshman made it clear that he is the top complimentary big man the college game has to offer, as he put up outstanding numbers while playing second fiddle to Tyler Hansbrough. He showed fans and scouts alike why he was so highly touted coming out of high school, averaging 20 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per contest in his two games at Madison Square Garden, all while shooting a scorching 65% from the field.
Wright displayed incredible hands, catching virtually every pass that he was able to get his mits on. He finished everything inside, despite his slender frame and the fact that he was matched up against much bulkier players in the paint. The Tennessee native did a great job of keeping the ball high once he received it so guards couldnt attempt to strip him, allowing him to get the ball up on the glass as quick as possible. He could have easily averaged close to 25 points per game over the two game stretch, had he not shot an awful 52% from the foul line.
If Brandan is able to keep his play up to this par for the remainder of the season, we are surely looking at a player that should be one and done. The NBAs new trend of long, athletic complimentary big men who can step in and play next to another power forward makes Wright awfully appealing to teams drafting in the late lottery. Draft aficionados must keep an eye on the super freshman for the remainder of the season, as its well established that he would have jumped to the NBA directly out of high school, so we already know that the NBA is on his mind.
Brandan Wright has an impressive feel for the game and NBA length, and is a mean streak away from joining the top group[Read Full Article]
[New York] is a fast city, man. Quite a change from Nashville. All the skyscrapers, the people walking around. Im really enjoying myself so far.
Its hard for the big guys to get touches in these type of games. Theyre really guard-oriented because they handle the ball more, but I just got to go out there and play hard, make plays.
A combination of things everything. Strength, ball handling, shooting from around 12 or 15 feet and finishing at the hole. All the things you need to get ready for the next level.
Question: Whos the best player youve faced thus far in your career?
Greg [Oden] is the best player Ive faced so far. Hes just a big, strong guy. He can make a lot of plays.
Tyler [Hansbrough] is going to demand a lot of double-teams, so I have to be there to pick up the slack. Its kind of a change, since hes a big bruiser on the inside, and Im more of an athletic, slasher type of post player. Itll be a nice change-up.
Brandan Wright
DraftExpress: How do you think youll fit in with Hansbrough at North Carolina?
Brandan Wright: I think Ill fit in great. I think Ill be a great compliment to him. Hes a big body guy, a powerful low post guy, I think Im just the opposite, a more agile, athletic guy who can hit the 12 footer when hes getting doubled. Im just trying to open it up for him, because hes going to be the man next year, and hes going to be our leader, so Im really looking forward to it.
DraftExpress: Do you know what your wingspan is?
Brandan Wright: I think its 74. Maybe 76. I think its 76 actually.
DraftExpress: What position do you envision yourself playing down the road?
Brandan Wright: I see myself playing more at the 4, but also being able to step out and play a little 3, just trying to create mismatches for the defense. If they try and put a smaller man on me Ill take him inside, if they try and put a bigger guy on me Ill face him up, just a guy who can take advantage of every situation.
DraftExpress: Who do you pattern your game after?
Brandan Wright: Mostly K.G. Hes a long, athletic guy who can shoot the J, handle the ball, post moves, he just does it all, and he plays hard too. I like the intensity he has.
DraftExpress: What weaknesses do you think you need to improve during your first year of college?
Brandan Wright: Well, obviously Ive got to work on my strength, and Im just going to work on everything. Everythings going to need improvement, going to the ACC. Ball handling, shooting, just the whole 9.
DraftExpress: How do you think your style will fit in with the international style at the Hoop Summit?
Brandan Wright: I dont know, Ive never played against international players, but I know they like to spread it out and shoot the ball. They want to spread it out, so Ill try and get my hand in their face, block a few shots, just try and get out there and outrun them. Use our athleticism to make plays on them.
DraftExpress: What do you think your best skill is right now?
Brandan Wright: Running the floor, blocking shots, rebounding, hitting my jumper, facing up in the post, I think those are some of my strengths.
DraftExpress: What do you think of the NBA age limit?
Brandan Wright: Its not bad at all. Players like me and a few other of these guys out here may have made the jump, but this is going to help us out, having to go to college, seeing where you stand, getting strong and stuff like that, and improve your play.
DraftExpress: Is it nice being at this game with some other North Carolina recruits?
Brandan Wright: Ah yeah. Were representing North Carolina well, having three guys playing on the U.S.A Team. The other three guys in our class are very good also, so were just going out there and trying to represent.
DraftExpress: Thanks a lot for your time.
Brandan Wright: No problem.
Brandan Wright didnt have a great performance, but it was still an improvement on his two point, three rebound performance at the Hoop Summit, and he showed some nice aggressiveness around the rim. Wright scored four of his points on open dunks in transition, one of which was on the receiving end of an alley-oop. He also had a very nice sequence in transition where he took the ball to the basket, took a lot of body contract, and still maintained his composure despite his weak frame to lay the ball in for an and-1. He mixed it up in the halfcourt, too, where he worked for his points well. He showed a nice hook shot in the lane, which missed, but he pulled down his own offensive rebound, before getting it poked away by a defender for a turnover. Wright also showed off some face-up game, taking his man off the dribble twice, once for a routine lay-in and another time using a spin move that led to a missed jam. Wright also was attacking the offensive boards a bit, pulling down three offensive rebounds, and getting a putback dunk on one of them.
Wright has a lot of things to work on, most notably his strength, which is definitely his biggest weakness right now. He also would do himself well to spend some more time working on his post game and his shot, both of which have room for improvement.
Brandan Wright had yet another disappointing performance in a long string of them this spring, not yet showing whats expected of a prospect touted as highly as he is. Wright has not been helped by his obvious lack of strength, and hes had trouble creating down low. When trying to post up, Wright had the ball stripped once and traveled on another attempt. He was able to finish at the rim on one play when he got the dish down low from a teammate, and also had one nice putback off the glass, but wasnt able to do much otherwise. On one occasion he got stuffed by the rim when trying to dunk the ball. Wright was able to take advantage of his physical tools on one play, using his length on a drive to make a pass around the back of his defender for the assist.[Read Full Article]
Wright played a quiet game for the most part, though he did use his awesome length to block a couple of shots as well as throw down a nice dunk. He struggled on defense when guarding the much bigger Saer Sene. Wright has some nice tools to work with right now in terms of his size, athleticism, and the way he finishes around the hoop. He will need to add some weight, and work on improving his jump shot. Brandan should be able to get minutes right away, and could become a nice compliment to Hansbrough.[Read Full Article]
Wright didnt stand out tonight like one would expect a player of his caliber to, but wound up with a pretty solid game at the end of the night. The 69 PF showed his awkward lefty game, hitting short jumper after short jumper in the lane and finishing well around the rim when strength was not an issue. He used his absolutely freakish wingspan to disrupt offensive players, and was also able to grab a few rebounds in the meantime. Once thought of as a 2007 draft prospect, it is becoming more and more evident that Brandan would be best suited to spend at least two years at UNC. His body desperately needs to develop, and his offensive game could use some refining before he decides to throw his name in the NBA Draft. Fans should definitely look for Wright to contribute next year playing alongside Tyler Hansbrough however, as the two will compliment each other perfectly in the Tar Heel front court.[Read Full Article]
The North Carolina recruit lived up to his billing as one of the top five seniors in the country, changing the game on both ends of the floor. Offensively, Wright is totally left hand dominant, but is seemingly unstoppable at this level when he touches the ball. Although the form on his shot is very awkward, Wright seems to have no problem knocking down the mid range jumper when left open, although his biggest strength is using his length and leaping ability to merely shoot over opponents near the rim. When watching the Brentwood star play, you can expect to see a good amount of highly athletic dunks, and he did not disappoint this evening as he finished with four. Of those four dunks, he had a pretty simple two handed slam in which both of his elbows were so far above the rim that everyone in the crowd had to ask each other if they had just seen how high up he had gotten. On the flip side however, while Wright attempted to show off his ball-handling skills, they just arent there at the moment at a consistent enough level. He lost the ball numerous times when pressured bringing the ball up the floor, and made some pretty bad decisions that resulted in Brentwood turnovers. Ball-handling and a lack of a right hand are by far Wright s two biggest weaknesses on the perimeter, but his superior athleticism has allowed him to dominate on the high school level thus far.

FULTON – The Itawamba Community College softball team took on Snead State and breast cancer awareness in the program's first-ever Lady Indians Breast Cancer Awareness Day on Thursday.
During the game, the Lady Indians wore special blue and pink jerseys while volunteers took donations, sold chances on a softball signed by the team along with t-shirts donated by the ICC Associate Degree Nursing Department, and handed out pink ribbons.
"I could not be more pleased with the turn-out and overwhelming support from everyone involved," said ICC softball head coach Chad Case. "It felt good seeing all the fans wearing pink and everyone that turned out and volunteered to help make this first-ever event a great success. I extremely proud of the initiative and leadership the team showed by wanting to put this together. "
Wanda Sullivan, who will celebrate her fifth year of surviving breast cancer in May, threw out the opening pitch and served as honorary coach during both games.
"I truly appreciate the Lady Indians and Coach Case for letting me be a part of this event," said Sullivan. "It means a lot to me and everyone that has been touched by breast cancer to see this group of young ladies show the maturity and leadership to want to host a Breast Cancer Awareness Day."
A special moment of silence was held in memory of those have lost their battle against cancer while cancer survivors and their love ones where honored with a standing ovation between games.
Ricky Murphy, Unit Marketing Director of Chick-Fil-A of Tupelo, was also on hand to participate in the celebration of education and empowerment.
"At Chick-Fil-A we feel it's important to give back to our communities and help support Breast Cancer Awareness," said Murphy. "We salute the Lady Indians and all their efforts in giving back to the community along with raising money and awareness for such a noble cause."
Proceeds from the event will be donated to Itawamba County Relay for Life.
Case and the Lady Indians are already making plans to help next season's Breast Cancer Awareness event.
"We learned a lot from this year's event and we look forward to making next year's an even bigger and better success," said Case.
Snead State swept the doubleheader 4-2, 4-3 over the Lady Indians.
The Breast Cancer Awareness Day was the most recent community service project the Lady Indians have participated in this season. Earlier in the school year the team helped tutor local students in Itawamba County and later volunteered at the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society in two of the various annual projects the program does to help give back to the surrounding areas.

Skip to comments.New England Fishermen Freak Out After The Government Closes The Bay Of Maine For Two Months
Posted on 04/29/2012 12:35:23 PM PDT by Nachum
BOSTON (AP) Fisherman Lou Williams sees plenty of harbor porpoises, usually swimming in small pods well away from his boat, unlike the herds of lookalike dolphins that get close enough to ride his vessel's wake.
A place Williams doesn't see many porpoises is his nets.
"It's a rare occasion," said Williams, 55, who fishes out of Gloucester. "I don't think more than a couple this year."
But federal regulators say far too many porpoises in the Gulf of Maine are drowning in fishing gear, specifically the stationary nets that Williams and other fishermen use, called gillnets.
The estimated fatalities are so high, they triggered a provision in federal rules that will close a busy fishing ground that extends from Gloucester to southern Maine to gillnets for two months annually, starting this Oct. 1.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What's a few hundred more unemployed? Not even a drop in the sea of millions. Besides, it's for the environment. The greenies have been trying to get rid of gill nets for decades anyhow.
I hope that this blows up in Obama's face and that it backfires on his party as well.
While the 0 admin may be struggling to get gas to $9 a gallon they certainly have figured out how to raise food prices.
"Crucify" the petrochemical sector. Then "crucify" fishermen. Up next...
It's a workin' class thing, dontcha know.
Like why we always vote for a Kennedy.
That poor family's suffered so...
With the boys killed like that and the retarded daughter. It's just a shame.
Remember the Spotted Owl? It killed logging and helped destroy a vibrant fishery. Now they are trying to take 200,000 acres more timberland out of the Western Washington Working Forests. We're fighting back.
Obama likes to spread the pain. He's got the medical marijuana folks here on the West Coast, a huge support group, furious calling for his departure. He's burning his supporters like a Cocaine soaked blunt. Makes me damn happy, not at the pain, but the education folks are getting.
Hmmmm. This starts the first of October. Let's see if the fishermen, their families, and the local fish packers can remember that by the first Tuesday in November...
The more jobs that vanish, the lower the unemployment rate goes. Works well for 0.
I want to kick all the idiots who were talking about how special it would be to have a "black" president. He's not black! He's a communist! Damn people are sloooow. They need to be soaked in piss before they realize they're being pissed on.
Now they can go back to hauling in bales of "found" pot again.
So Obama wants to ground fisherman on the Gulf of Maine from October 1 to December 1 for no good reason? As bad as I feel for the fishermen, I can't help but notice that the timing is *perfect* for the GOP, what with the U.S. Senate election and the competitive ME-02 race this November; and if this also affects some fishermen from Portsmouth, NH, it could help the GOP win the NH governorship, hold the NH-01 and lock up NH's 4 EVs to get Romney to 270.
Fewer jobs and higher food prices. 0bama be workin' that Cloward and Piven.
Anybody got a list going on all the jobs and SPECIFIC JOB INDUSTRIES Obama has deliberately taking away from "Middle Class" Americans...
Here's the start if one hasnt been started:
SPACE PROGRAM CUT 1,000s jobs lost
PIPELINE PROJECT VETOED 10,000s of jobs NOT given to US
FISHING in MAINE
ENVIRONMENTAL RULES COST 1000s in Louisiana after BP incident

Just what will closing the bay for two months accomplish ???
If the death rate is so high two months is meaningless except for the political points earned...
I won't repeat what I said as I walked by...my wife hates to take me shopping with her...
................October 1 to December 1 ...............
Yeah, right after the warmer waters of all summer long have made the fish nice and fat living off all the waters bounty, and before they leave the area on their migration routes.
Great,Zer0, kill another industry already severely hurting from over fishing and foreign factory boats.
NOAA, right? National Oceans & Atmospheric Administration?
In Santa Cruz Calif NOAA is handing out $2500 tickets to anyone using a jet-ski to rescue someone who is starting to drown in surf.
Sounds made up? They've done it a bunch of times.
They say the jet-skis are a danger to otters.
In 20-foot waves? REALLY?
Past time to sell the boat - regulation strikes!
If I wanted America to fail ...
Obama better worry about angering the first Wookie.....She's not going to be happy if his actions cut into her lobster supply!! And Barry would look awfull funny with no arms......
"Nice work, Obamsky. Let's see if the fisherman and their families remember you at election time."
Won't matter if all the fisherman vote against Zero. Maine and Mass will be solidly in Zero's corner.
This Kenyan effer is channeling the greatest hits of Pol Pot and Robert Mugabe
I (unfortunately) completely agree. WTH are they thinking? I suppose some of the economic damage will be mitigated by the fact that the ban won't be hitting during the summer tourist season. OTOH, the "leaf peepers" eat too. And they're going to want seafood, not KFC.
This could very well be the event that sets into motion the election scenarios you laid out, AuH2ORepublican.

He tried to destroy the family farm too....but the backlash was profound, so he backed off.
Had a long talk with some supposed big-shot among them once. Couldn't quite figure out where he was coming from on anything. Sort of a cross between Paul Bunyan and Albert Schweitzer.
Shutting them down one month before the election. They're out of work which will hurt their families and the local economy. Maine seafood prices will soar, hurting everyone.
Brilliant nobama. More! More!
If this were really about saving porpoises then the fishermen with properly functioning "pingers" would still be allowed to fish. This smells of some other agenda.
I've been leaf-peeping around NH's White Mountains on more than one October (my wife and I felt like the only tourists under 50, but we didn't mind), and one of the best things about it was the fresh seafood brought in from Portsmouth all the way to the western edge of the Kancamaugus (sp?) Highway: fish chowder, am strips, lobster rolls ... my mouth is watering already. So you're right, Obama's fishing ban will affect not just Portsmouth and coastal Maine, but inland areas as well.
I don't think is is so much the prohibition, I believe the real point here is they are camouflaging going after the rural and farm kids he can not reach any other way through mandatory "Safety training."
The reg started like this...
The new regulations, first proposed August 31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, would also revoke the governments approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course.
...90-hour federal government training course....
And revoke the safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA?
WHY? There is nothing wrong with it.
Anyone care to guess what the 90 hours of federal government training will contain?
THEN they claim they are not going to do it.
Which is a lie as they come back with this the very next day...
"Instead, the Departments of Labor and Agriculture will work with rural stakeholders such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Farmers Union, the Future Farmers of America, and 4-H to develop an educational program to reduce accidents to young workers and promote safer agricultural working practices."
This is exactly what I posted about the real intent of the "rule." They are trying to access the rural kids under the guise of a "safety training program" for distribution of indoctrination propaganda.
My previous post...
Again, anyone care to guess what the 90 hours of federal government training will contain?
Perhaps something along the lines of what is in this?
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
In that >>> EXACT <<< same PUBLIC statement he said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of mandatory service a year for middle school and high school students.
...90-hour federal government training course.... 4-H and FFA
Just as he was three years ago, he is attempting mandatory control of the kids. Only now the monster is going after the rural and farm kids he can not reach any other way.
With the power grab at family farms, he wanted to make himself the all powerful, all knowing fed-gov the ultimate authority, placing himself above the parents.
Unbelievable. The HAZMAT Tech course I took to go out and deal with and clean up methyl-ethyl-death in a level A suit was only 80 hrs.
This is for stuff that could me and thousands of others if things go wrong.
I took quite a few of those myself.
My favorite was Rad. MUCH easer/safer than Chem. Easy to detect, easy to protect.
The most fun was "Air Monitoring at Hazardous Material Sites." It was put on by EPA itself back before EPA drank ALL of the KoolAid.
Lots of egg-pensive toys...
I wish I could remember the FReeper here who claims dolphins are endowed with exceptional intlelligence. I'd ask him why they haven't figured out a way to avoid those nets....again.
Seems like the Radiological officer, tech, and instructor courses were just 40 hrs each. It has been too many years.
Most of the memories from those were as a result of the powers that be calling every motel in the area and picking the one we stayed at based solely on price.
Asking for another room because the first one smelled of rotting flesh.
Coming out in the morning to thousands of broken beer bottles in the parking lot.
Half of the complex taped off with city condemnation posters nailed to the doors.
Being able to tell what people were wearing as they walked by through the gap in the door frame and the mice going through without breaking stride.
Yea, good times.
This is wonderful news, I could never be happier about something like this. New England votes for these fascists year after year to force the rest of us to do what they think is best. Now they have to drink the dirty water themselves....
............who claims dolphins are endowed with exceptional intlelligence. I'd ask him why they haven't figured out a way to avoid those nets....again...............
A very interesting thought!
I would think that the intelligence of the mammals in the ocean could be scared away by a particular underwater sound frequency that they would associate with danger. A cheap transmitter on the nets could do the job!
They've been giving New England fishermen a hard time for years. Still, the fools vote 'rat.
They are going to get paid, see:
Kerry Provision to Protect Massachusetts Fishermen Included in Senate Bill
To the tune of about $120 Million. That ought to buy a few fishy votes.
............who claims dolphins are endowed with exceptional intlelligence. I'd ask him why they haven't figured out a way to avoid those nets....again...............

"So youre right, Obamas fishing ban will affect not just Portsmouth and coastal Maine, but inland areas as well."
Without the seafood, the Hell is there to eat here? And it's too bad that Gloucester, MA is in the banned area, because some of the best seafood eating is around that area; that's actually where I go when I need my seafood fix.
If you watch Lidia Bastianich on the Create channel, she did a show which featured Gloucester and its fishermen.
ahhh - we have a REPUBLICAN House,
a REPUBLICAN senate and
a REPUBLICAN governor. A governor, BTW, that is everything - and more - everyone THOUGHT Chis Christie was, but isn't.
He'll have 'more flexibility after the election" -
Translastion: biding his time 'til he's king and rules absolute with no reelection worries
I thank God, you are in Maine.
We could probably even get them to emit "Danger! Danger! Swim away, swim away!" in Dolphin language.
"I hope that this blows up in Obamas face and that it backfires on his party as well."
Since we won't be getting a conservative POTUS, no matter who wins, let's hope we get conservatives in Congress, and you are doing a good job of alerting us to the conservatives running, Clintonfatigued.
There is no target species, just anything & everything that swims.

The ability to delay gratification as a child may lower a person's chances of being overweight later in life, according to new research.
Researchers found that people who were better able to put off receiving a reward at age 4 had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) three decades later, when the researchers followed up with them. For every minute that children resisted the temptation to eat a marshmallow placed in front of them, their BMIs decreased by . . .

- Brief Synopsis:
- What if Imperial Germany invaded America at the dawn of the 20th century--and famous figures, from Teddy Roosevelt to young Douglas MacArthur, joined forces in battle?
- Long Synopsis:
- The year is 1901. Germany's navy is the second largest in the world; their army, the most powerful. But with the exception of a small piece of Africa and a few minor islands in the Pacific, Germany is without an empire. Kaiser Wilhelm II demands that the United States surrender its newly acquired territories: Guam, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. President McKinley indignantly refuses, so with the honor and economic future of the Reich at stake, the Kaiser launches an invasion of the United States, striking first on Long Island. Now the Americans, with their army largely disbanded, must defend the homeland. When McKinley suffers a fatal heart attack, the new commander in chief, Theodore Roosevelt, rallies to the cause, along with Confederate general James Longstreet. From the burning of Manhattan to the climactic Battle of Danbury, American forces face Europe's most potent war machine in a blazing contest of will against strength.

The Scarlets limped towards the RaboDirect PRO12 play-offs after going down 41-17 to a rampant Treviso side in Llanelli on Friday.
The Scarlets limped into the PRO12 play-offs after going down 41-17 to a rampant Treviso outfit on Friday.
The Welsh side knew they only had to win to confirm their place in the play-offs but were outplayed by their Italian visitors. Although, they did still make the semi-finals courtesy of the Ospreys' loss to Leinster at the RDS.
The hosts were the first to get on the scoreboard as young fly-half Owen Williams, who is on his way to Leicester Tigers next season, slotted over a penalty after a good early spell of possession.
Treviso responded well though, despite having little to play for, and their inspirational number eight Robert Barbieri scored his eighth try of the current campaign moments later.
He smashed his way over after the Italians had turned the ball over at a lineout and captain Antonio Pavanello had sprinted to within metres of the try-line. Kris Burton added the conversion and two penalties as the half wore on but nine more points from the boot of Williams ensured that the match was finely poised at 13-12 to the visitors at the break.
Treviso's prospects didn't look too healthy when they had both Valerio Bernabo and Jacobus Roux sent to the sin bin within a couple of minutes of each other soon after the restart but they survived admirably with only 13 men and even extended their lead.
After Burton was successful with two more penalty attempts, Fiji-born flanker Manoa Vosawai exploited an overlap and forced his way over in the left-hand corner to put his team ahead by two converted tries after Burton added the extra two points.
And the men from northern Italy romped away with the game in the final quarter, scoring two more tries to inflict an embarrassing defeat on the Scarlets.
First replacement Luca Morisi spotted some forwards in the defensive line and used his pace to get across the whitewash and then Burton put Christian Loamanu in the right-hand corner to seal a bonus point as well.
Liam Williams did score a late consolation try and while the Scarlets may still have made the play-offs as a result of the Ospreys' defeat to Leinster in Dublin, they will know that their performance will have to be much better to compete with Ulster in the semi-final.

Warbaits Swimjigs
The all-new Warbaits Slayer Swim Jig is equipped with a Mustad UltraPoint three-stage Opti-Angle sharpened saltwater grade hook combined with a spike bait keeper that grips the trailer securely. The streamlined head design and line placement allow the jig to swim through the heavy junk or crawl over rock bottoms with less resistance. The heavy wire hook and flexible weed guard are ideal for hook sets at greater depths, and for pulling big fish out of nasty, heavy cover. All of these features combined with a "match the hatch" 66-strand silicone skirt create a presentation that fish need to eat.
3/8oz - 3/0 hook
1/2oz - 4/0 hook
3/4oz, 1oz - 6/0 hook
1.5oz, 2oz - 7/0 hook
15 Colors

Customer Reviews
Comments: These jigs are killer. They work great around riprap and chunk rock. Slow roll and bump along like a crankbait. I fish the 3/8 - 3/4oz depending on cover, wind, and current. Highly recommend.
From: Brad: AZ
Comments: Awesome jigs. Amazing design. And least we forget, made/tested/developed in the U.S.A. As for the paint chipping, its a jig. Made to fish in cover. If your paint isnt chipping, you might be doing it wrong. Cheers to Warbaits. Quality product time and time again.
From: LC: So Cal
Comments: The jig is built with quality, from the paint to the skirt. The paint doesn't chip as easily as other swimjigs. Some people must be throwing these things on the ground for this paint to chip. The skirts on there jigs are full and ideal to match the hatch.
From: R: San Diego, CA
Comments: The best saltwater Swimjig on the market. The paint is tough, the hooks are strong and I have many of the same Swimjigs from 2 years ago. I've been fishing the 1/4 & 3/8oz in freshwater lately, awesome profile with a Berkley Chigger Craw. I've also hooked big stripers at Diamond Valley Lake on these. When you fish them in the right places they show Normal wear and tear like any other great bait.
From: Seth: San Diego, CA
Comments: As said above, the paint does chip very badly, but lets keep in mind these are made to fish in some what open water. Great jigs though, would be happier if the paint didn't chip as much!
From: Alec: CA
Comments: Don't waste your money....paint will chip off of the head after one trip! Dirty Jigs is where it is at!
From: Jeremy: MO
Comments: Love these! 1/2oz and 3/4. The only issue is that the banding melts or dries out...ive had a few of them where the skirt fell off. i would like to recommend that they band the skirts on the way Reebs does. Til then, i buy the unskirted heads, and put on my own skirt.
From: Mike: Huntington Beach CA
Comments: i love these jig i use them for rock cod fishing in morro bay ca and let me say the ling cod love them i also use them down south for calico bass them eat them like there going out of style thanks tacklewarehouse and warbaits for a great bait and keep rippin lips
From: Kris: bakersfield ca
Comments: I have used the Warbaits jigs with great sucess for pike in the UK and most recently took them to Oman where they accounted for some very big Spangled Emperors, too! I pair them with Big Hammer Sledgehammers or Roboworm Ocean swimbait tails. TW need to stock the Ling Slayers too though, as the pike can bite through the skirts. the Ling Sayers not only use cable ties to eliminate this problem, but they also have rattles, too!
From: Elliott: London, UK
Comments: awesome jigs. Went out last weekend here in ohio and smoke them in the pond! Cant wait to take them on the BFLs with me!
From: Cole: Ohio
Comments: I fished this swimjig in bream pattern with a Yamamoto 5 inch single tail grub....railed'em!
From: Ron: Trabuco Canyon, CA
Comments: Totaly rippin swimjig. Cast and destroy bro!!!
From: Joe: MA
Comments: These jigs are well built and get bit! Been fishing the heavier 3/4 - 1oz with ammonite shads in the deeper water with good success. I caught onto the jig spin as well with the lighter jigs. Attach a willow or colorado blade with a swivel and fish like a spinnerbait. Highly effective baits! Definitely recommend!!
From: Mike: Castaic, CA
Comments: These are the deal!! Got a bunch of em a month ago in all of the colors below. Great finishes, great construction.. Built to take some punishment!! Cast and Destroy!!
From: Paul: Haymarket, VA
Comments: I've been using the Slayer Swimjig for over a month now and it has been a very productive bait. Swimming it through heavy cover it continues to rip right through. A 3/4oz. paired with a Jackall Ammonite Shad this combo definitely slays the big ones. Cast and Destroy!

Making home improvements doesn't have to mean compromising environmental ideals in the process. There are numerous jobs that a person can do that fit with a green lifestyle.
While these improvements help protect the planet, they'll also help keep a few extra dollars in your wallet.
1. Conserve water. Turn off the tap between brushing teeth or rinsing off dishes. Better yet, install low-flow faucets, showerheads and toilets that reduce the consumption of water in the household.
2. Motion detection. Motion-detector lights can be installed in different rooms of the home and outdoors. Lights will automatically turn on and off depending on the activity in the area, reducing the chances of a light being left on inadvertently and wasting money and energy.
3. Solar panels. You may have been toying with the idea of solar panels for years. They can be installed on the roof or in the yard to power various components of the household, like lights during a traditional power outage or the swimming pool filter. Today it is possible to buy used solar panels, many of which still have a lot of life left to them and are considerably cheaper than new ones.
4. Aluminum-clad storm door. Insulate the entryway of your home with a storm door that will buffer against harsh weather conditions. While you're creating a more air-tight space, caulk around windows and doors.
5. Replace air filters. Your HVAC system likely has filters inside that trap dirt and contaminants. Replacing the filters leads to cleaner indoor air and helps the unit run more efficiently.
6. Power strips: Stock up on power strips and plug all of your peripherals and computer equipment into these strips. This way when you want to power down everything completely, you simply turn off the power button on the strip. This ensures no devices are drawing power even in the off position, which many do.
7. Install fans. Fans aren't just useful in the summer. In the winter, the blades can be set to rotate in the opposite direction and help draw warm air into the room, thereby heating more efficiently.
8. Rainwater barrels. Set up rainwater barrels at the downspouts of your home's gutter system. These barrels collect water that can be used to water indoor and outdoor plants, or even wash the car. Some feature a spigot to which you can directly connect a garden hose.
9. Plant trees. Trees are good for the environment in many ways, producing necessary oxygen for life and offering food and living areas for wildlife. Trees can also shade a home during the warm weather, helping reduce energy consumption.
10. Glass fireplace doors. Install glass fireplace doors, which are safer than fireplace screens. They'll also help protect against heat loss up the chimney when there isn't a fire lit.
11. Buy a solar cover. Warm up your spa all season long with a solar cover, which helps keep debris out of the water, too. Solar covers reduce the need to fire up the heater to warm the water.
12. Dog waste composter. Create a method to safely dispose of dog waste without having to toss it in plastic bags in the trash. There are devices that can be buried into the ground to serve as a dog waste receptacle. Or you can make one of your own by placing a container with a lid that seals on top but has an open bottom. Sprinkle a natural bacteria septic tank product, such as Rid-X(R), down the hole routinely and it will break down the waste and turn it into soil fertilizer.

Add a bay leaf to your flour or sugar tin to keep insects out.
Add raw rice to your saltshakers to keep the salt from forming lumps.
Brown Sugar
To prevent brown sugar from absorbing moisture and caking into one solid mass, store it in a plastic bag inside an airtight container. If it still cakes up despite your best efforts, it's easier to loosen it up by manipulating the bag than by breaking off pieces of the solid sugar.
If your brown sugar has already hardened, the simplest way to soften it is to add a few marshmallows or a slice of fresh bread to the bag, seal it and wait a couple of days. The moisture from the bread will soften the sugar.
When you're in a hurry to soften brown sugar, a slice of apple will do the trick. Place the opened plastic bag of sugar in a microwave with the apple and heat for 15 seconds on High. The steam from the apple will soften the sugar.
Baker's Yeast
If you have baker's yeast on hand at the beginning of the summer and don't plan to use it till the weather cools, pop it in the freezer. Baker's yeast will keep well for several months if frozen.

CRI's new website that seeks to engage, educate, and empower patients and their loved ones to learn more about cancer immunotherapy as a treatment option across numerous tumor types.
Cancer patients, donors, scientists, and other supporters all stand behind the Cancer Research Institute. Read their stories and learn about what motivates each of us to keep fighting against cancer.
By running in a marathon or hosting a bake sale, you can make a real difference for our scientists in the fight against cancer and allow them to bring newer immunotherapies to more patients.
We gratefully accept donations made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Your gift will be acknowledged to whomever you specify.
A $1 million challenge to spur innovative solutions to challenges in cancer immunotherapy research.
Curious about the latest developments in cancer immunotherapy research? Listen in as leading scientists discuss immune-based treatments across numerous cancer types in our free "Cancer Immunotherapy and You" webinar series.
When the Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953, we knew then that immune-based treatments would transform cancer medicine. In more than six decades since, we've made numerous groundbreaking discoveries that have given more patients new hope today.
March 31, 2014 | Erin Kim
On Sunday, March 16, twenty-three driven members of Team CRI ran the NYC Half 2014 for the Cancer Research Institute. As a team, they raised more than $32,800, which will help fund important research leading to effective immune-based treatments for patients facing any type of cancer.
All our runners, motivated by many different reasons but dedicated to one unified cause, took to the streets of New York City and traversed the 13.1-mile route around Central Park, up to Harlem, through Times Square, and down the West Side Highway along the East River waterfront, all the way to the Financial District in lower Manhattan. The brisk 30 degree weather didn't discourage our runners in this year's thematic race "More than a Run"—a marathon to celebrate health, recovery, self-improvement, and community.
Angelo Giordano ran for his brother Rick, who passed away last year after a 12-year battle against a very rare form of cancer called thymic neuroendocrine tumor. His brother's determination against this disease, which allowed him to surpass a three-year prognosis from his doctors, was the driving force for Angelo's run and fundraising. "My brother Rick has taught me many things over his lifetime, but his sheer determination to continue on when all the odds were against him is my driving force in completing this relatively small task of running 13.1 miles."
Elizabeth Stevenson, the 21-year-old sister of CRI staff member Denise Upton, ran for her grandfather, who passed away from prostate cancer, and also for her grandmother, who recently lost her battle with endocrine cancer. She has been highly inspired by the research that CRI does in benefiting cancer immunology research.
Knowing that 8 million people die from various cancers each year, Jennifer Marcus didn't believe that those who have lost the fight against the disease should be remembered just as a statistic. Jennifer ran the NYC Half 2014 for CRI in memory of her mother, who passed away in 2012 from bladder cancer, and dedicated each and every mile to her for her support through everything—from working hard to "going for the gold." "Although cancer is an unfortunate epidemic in our society today, there is hope," says Jennifer. "Don't believe in statistics, believe in solutions."
No matter the cancer type, or the people in our lives who have been affected by cancer, whether it be ourselves, a family member, a friend, or acquaintance, we all want this thing called "cancer" to end. There's still a lot of work to do to see more therapies become successful in treating cancer, and perhaps, one day, cure it, but by reading and sharing stories of our other Team CRI runners, becoming motivated to fundraise for CRI in other marathons or events, or making a donation, you're being a part of that solution.

Does Anyone Know the Half-Naked Guy with a Sword Marching Down the Highway?
Has anyone lost a half-naked man in his 40s with a tendency to march "like a drum major" down the side of Indiana highways while wielding a samurai sword? If so, please contact Indiana State Police Trooper Ricky Rayner, as he may have found your guy!
Rayner came across the gentleman—still unidentified—as well as the Toyota he had abandoned in the middle lane of I-65 in Indiana around 2:30 p.m. yesterday. It sounds like they had a grand old time!
"The man was marching like a drum major, holding the sword, moving it up and down in rhythm with his marching cadence," State Police said.
When Rayner approached, the man swung the sword in a defensive manner but then dropped the sword in compliance with the trooper's order, the release said.
The man — dressed only in plaid shorts and slip on shoes — then tried to force his way into a 2010 Chevrolet sport-utility vehicle that swerved and stopped on the inner shoulder to avoid a responding Merrillville police vehicle responding to the incident, State Police said.
The man has been charged with "attempted car jacking, resisting law enforcement and possession of marijuana." All he has said to police is that he is "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs."

By Patsy StoddardEmery County Progress Editor
Multiple law enforcement agencies led by the Utah Highway Patrol closed down a major section of I-70 Thursday morning when a female driver pulled a handgun following a high speed pursuit.
The incident began when a UHP Trooper observed a Geo Tracker traveling Eastbound on I-70 between Richfield and Salina on March 7 at 8:33 a.m. The Trooper ran the license plate of the Geo and found that it belonged to another vehicle. He then attempted to make a traffic stop, but the vehicle sped up and a pursuit was initiated.
Speeds reached between 80-90 mph until milepost 119 on I-70, when spikes were deployed by the UHP causing two tires on the Geo to deteriorate. The incident occurred on the east bound side of I-70 between Eagle Canyon bridge and the Ghost Rocks in Emery County.
Despite the flat tires, the vehicle continued a short distance causing the Trooper to utilize the Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT Maneuver) which successfully stopped the Geo.
As the Trooper approached the vehicle, he observed the driver holding a handgun up to her chin. The driver was identified by the UHP as Jaime L. Warhurst, 36, of Unk City, Miss. Warhust was alone in the vehicle, according to the UHP.
The Trooper backed off to cover until additional troopers including UHP supervisor Sgt. Rich Haycock, who is trained in negotiating, arrived on scene and began communicating with Warhurst.
The female driver put down the handgun at 12:20 p.m. and surrendered into police custody.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said it is not known why the female ran but it is possible she had outstanding warrants. "The negotiator did an excellent job," he explained.
The female was transported by ambulance to the Sevier Valley Hospital in Richfield and later booked into the Richfield County Jail. She was examined on scene by Emery County EMTs who determined she needed medical attention.
Funk said his deputies responded to the area to help with the incident and also did an excellent job. I-70 East was closed to prevent traffic from entering the incident area. The vehicle was removed from the scene and is being processed. The handgun was found inside the vehicle.
