Former Hockley County sheriff's deputy pleads guilty for drug ring ...   there is more activity here on the high plains, from Lubbock south to the Mexican border, with increased police and army presence along with , all of our local agencies out in the field targeting Mexican operations.  The 24 hour surveillance is on again with much of the activity on going in the southeast Lubbock region.  Along with yesterday's arrest and weapons seized, the surveillance seems to be gaining momentum.  Perhaps there is some overtime pay for those working on Turkey day. Bethlehem Elementary Turkey Recipies  Thanks everyone and Happy Thanksgiving.

Snitches an Endangered Species

 Your freedom is in jeopardy.
Here is a close look at government tactics used against the innocent.
Lubbock law used a convicted pimp and heroin dealer as their man, set up to destroy my family. A Mafia connected informant from New Jersey one Raymond Freda. Who planted drugs on me at the direction of our district attorney Travis Ware and with the aid of LPD officer Glenn Osborne assigned to DEA.
One has to ask themselves, is justice served when criminals are used in order to get around  American's constitutional rights in order to frame them? This brilliant woman and law professor  Alexandra Natapoff  has put it all together in a book.  Hear her interview, from "Coast to Coast," as she explains the danger we are in.  Do so by down loading the following link; burn it  and share it with all you know.  http://cid-bd838dd923c11aa0.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Snitches%20an%20Endangered%20Species/SNITCHING.mp3
The government uses criminals who lie on the stand, to get warrants and convictions; 45% of those on death row are there now because of such criminal informants. Our prisons are full of innocent people, and you could find yourself in jail too, just like I did, with every God given right tossed to the wind.

Snitching

Date: 11-21-09
Host: Ian Punnett
Guests: Alison McDermott, Alexandra Natapoff

Ian Punnett was joined by nationally-recognized expert on snitching, Alexandra Natapoff, for a discussion on the perils of using informants in our criminal justice system. She clarified that snitches are not the same as whistle blowers or even people reporting a crime, but are people who have committed a crime and using information to "get out from under their own criminal liability." Additionally, unlike those who take a plea bargain to escape jail time, deals with informants are never revealed to the public and the snitch is never charged with a crime. This scenario creates a myriad of problems, she explained, as the informants are not only allowed to get away with crimes they have already committed but also future crimes they may commit since they are seen as valuable to police investigators.

One particularly troubling aspect of this practice, she said, is that often informants use the system to their advantage at the expense of innocent people. She shared a number of instances where incorrect tips provided to police by informants results in terrible consequences. One such story involved an informant claiming to know of a home where drugs were being sold. When police burst into the home, they shot and killed a 92-year-old woman, only to later realize that they'd been misled. In an attempt to cover-up their mistake, they actually offered to pay a second informant if he would claim to have bought drugs at the house. Fortunately, this informant refused to cooperate and the tragic story became public knowledge. If not for that, Natapoff said, "nobody would ever learn what actually happened."

On how pervasive the power of snitches can be, Natapoff cited a Northwestern University study of exonerated death row inmates which found that 45% of them were convicted via the testimony of informants. Making matters even more troublesome, she also noted that a study of jurors determined that they will believe the testimony of an informant even after being told that they are being paid for their testimony. Strangely, these jurors stated that they thought the informants were unreliable and had an incentive to lie, but still believed their testimony. Thankfully, Natapoff said, awareness of the problems with the informant system has begun to grow and states are beginning to regulate the practice, such as Rachel's Law in Florida. "I think that the law will look very different in a decade," she said, as this scrutiny of the system grows.
 

A Trial That Will Convict Us All  By Paul Craig Roberts

Republicans and American conservatives regard civil liberties as coddling devices for criminals and terrorists. They assume that police and prosecutors are morally pure and, in addition, never make mistakes.

2009 Looking Back in Time @ Lubbock, Texas Law
Date: Sun, 5 Apr 92 16:21:52 PDT
From: one of our correspondents
Subject: Pathologist's Work Questioned
To: yucks-request
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP)
Even prosecutors sometimes wondered about Dr. Ralph Erdmann's
bizarre work habits after all he once lost a head. But they still
used the pathologist's testimony to send people to prison, some to
death row.
Erdmann's recent indictment on charges of falsifying an autopsy
and accusations that he performs "made-to-order" autopsies for police
have defense attorneys scrambling to see whether his work led to
false convictions.
"You are going to hear Dr. Erdmann's name a lot in the future,"
said Steven Losch, attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund-Capital
Punishment Project in New York. "I know I will be looking into as
many capital murder cases involving Dr. Erdmann as possible."
Losch said he will review at least 23 of Erdmann's cases in 41
counties.
On Friday, Losch won the right to exhume the body of 72-year-old
murder victim Hilton Merriman, claiming Erdmann botched the autopsy.
In the hearing on their request, Erdmann invoked his Fifth
Amendment right against self-incrimination 200 times in response to
questions about the autopsy.
In the motion to exhume Merriman's body, former Dallas County
assistant medical examiner Linda Norton was quoted as saying Erdmann
routinely performs "made-to-order autopsies that support a police
version of a story."
Erdmann, 65, was indicted in February by a Hockley County grand
jury on charges of falsifying an autopsy on a 41-year-old man. A few
weeks later, he resigned his $140,000-a-year job performing autopsies
for Lubbock County, saying he was overworked.
Erdmann said he performed an autopsy on the 41-year-old man in
which he weighed the man's spleen. But family members noted the
spleen had been removed several years before.
The state then indicted Erdmann on charges he billed the county
$650 for the autopsy, which it said he never performed. An
investigation showed the body was never cut open.
Erdmann, who faces 20 years in prison if convicted, said he simply
erred by not sending the county the correct documents.
"I tried to apologize, but they wouldn't let me. I made a
mistake," he said.
For years, defense attorneys and prosecutors have had reservations
about the doctor, who showed up in Childress, Texas, in 1981 and
began a service performing autopsies two years later.
"Some of his work habits are strange," said Randall County
District Attorney Randy Sherrod, who has used Erdmann as a witness in
several murder cases. "He doesn't know his left from his right. He'll
take his 13-year-old child to an autopsy. He has a fascination with
carrying around body parts and storing some in his refrigerator."
But Sherrod added, "I have never seen a case where Dr. Erdmann did
anything illegal to deceive a judge or jury. There is no evidence to
show Dr. Erdmann sent innocent people to the penitentiary."
Lubbock County District Attorney Travis Ware also stands by
Erdmann, saying he is being attacked by vengeful defense attorneys.

 The Dark Shadow of the CIA
"We don't torture people in America and people who say we do simply know nothing about our country." : George W. Bush - Interview with Australian TV - October 18, 2003
Shamefully we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management: Edward Kennedy
"[torture] presupposes, it requires, it craves the abrogation of our capacity to imagine others' suffering, dehumanizing them so much that their pain is not our pain. It demands this of the torturer, placing the victim outside and beyond any form of compassion or empathy, but also demands of everyone else the same distancing, the same numbness." Ariel Dorfman [from his book "Torture: A Collection"] "The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their 'vital interests' are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the 'sanctity' of human life, or the 'conscience' of the civilized world." - James Baldwin [From chapter one of "The Devil Finds Work" (orig. pub. 1976), page 489 of Collected Essays (1998)]

  The sale of Adolf Hitler's family home in the Austrian town of Braunau am Inn has triggered concern that it could become a shrine for Nazi sympathisers. The unassuming house where Hitler was born in 1889 has been put on the market priced at 2.2m euros (£1.9m; $3.3m). Residents and local politicians fear that the property could fall into the hands of far-right extremists.
Braunau's mayor Gerhard Skiba wants to prevent that happening, but the council does not have the funds to buy it.
The building is currently used by an organisation helping the disabled and has at various times in its history housed a library, bank and technical institute. Some historians have suggested turning the building into a museum.
However Mr Skiba vigorously opposes the idea, saying it would encourage people from all over the world to visit the site.
For the time being, the only reminder of the building's infamous past is a small memorial dedicated to the victims of the Nazis.

Cell Biology:

As It Happens

Helen Pickersgill

RNA polymerase moves information from the genome (DNA) into pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA), from which introns are removed and exons are ligated to make a mature mRNA. To follow the progress of transcription on single genes from start to finish, Wada et al. chose five long human genes whose expression could be switched on by the cytokine tumor necrosis factor–{alpha}. Putting together snapshots taken at 7.5-min intervals for 3 hours, they documented the waves of RNA synthesized by polymerase, with each molecule of enzyme jumping on at the transcription start site and hopping off over 100 kb away. During each round, upstream introns were excised as the polymerase moved downstream, often before the next intron was reached. Furthermore, it appeared that later rounds of transcription were begun and continued for a few kilobases before being aborted, as if the polymerases were colliding with a checkpoint that kept track of downstream occupancy of the gene. Each wave of transcription traveled at ~3 kb m–1, although the accumulation of polymerase at regions bound by the insulator proteins CTCF and cohesion, both of which are involved in chromosome looping, suggested that polymerase may be held up at specific sites.

Internal Affairs

Mitch Leslie  To keep watch for internal intruders, a cell deploys a cytoplasmic surveillance system that parallels the one detecting menaces outside of its membrane. When infiltrating pathogens trip one of these alarms, the cell retaliates with measures that range from instigating inflammation to committing suicide in a way that alerts other cells to the threat. In turn, microbes have evolved a plethora of countermeasures to disrupt, deceive, and dodge these intracellular weapons. The medical importance of our cells' internal defenses goes beyond battling pathogens. Errant responses by these alarm systems underlie illnesses such as gout, Crohn's disease, which is a type of intestinal inflammation, and the lung deterioration provoked by asbestos. Some of what scientists have learned about the mechanisms of such diseases has already made it to the clinic: The discovery that faulty microbial receptors inside the cell are behind several rare but debilitating "fever syndromes" inspired a successful new treatment for those conditions. Researchers have been testing the same drug against gout. Furthermore, scientists have just realized that a chemical long used to boost the effectiveness of vaccines might work by activating one of the cell's internal tripwires. This insight could lead to the production of better, safer ingredients for future immunizations.

Outfoxing Immune Excess

  Immune responses are kept in check by Foxp3-expressing CD4+-regulatory T cells (Tregs) through a variety of mechanisms. Expression of specific transcription factors directs Treg responses into distinct T helper cell lineages; however, the transcription factors that regulate particular helper lineages have not been completely characterized. Chaudhry et al. (p. 986, published online 1 October) show that the transcription factor Stat3, that is required for the initial differentiation of TH17-effector T cells, is also required for Treg cell-mediated suppression of TH17-mediated immune responses. Mice carrying a Treg cell-specific deletion in Stat3 succumb to an intestinal inflammatory disease driven by uncontrolled TH17 responses. Thus, different classes of immune responses can result from the expression of helper lineage–specific transcription factors.

      Quantum Division

The notion of quantum mechanics is that variables are expressed as integer values. In quantum fluids, for instance, vortices are quantized in terms of the polarization and phase shifts observed as multiples of 2{pi}, that is, full rotations of each variable around the vortex core. Theoretical work has predicted that in some instances there should be half-quantum vortices, where circumventing the vortex core is characterized by just {pi} rotations of the phase and polarization. By observing exciton-polariton condensates Lagoudakis et al. (p. 974) present evidence for the existence of these long-predicted half-quantum vortices.
