House backs measure to combat 'meth' By Joanne Kenen Wed Dec 14, 7:31 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Addressing the spread of methamphetamines already devastating some rural U.S. communities, the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a package of measures aimed at stiffening penalties and making it harder for meth "cooks" to obtain common ingredients. ADVERTISEMENT The drug package was wrapped into the larger Patriot Act anti-terrorism bill, which passed the House but faces an uncertain future in the Senate as Congress tries to complete its work for the year. "Meth is one of the most powerful and dangerous drugs available on the streets of our country, and it is one of the easiest to make," House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an Illinois Republican, said in a statement after the vote. The bill would toughen penalties for methamphetamine traffickers, and those who cook or deal meth with children present. It would also limit monthly purchases of common cold medications containing ingredients, such as pseudoephedrine, used to make meth, and require that pharmacies sell these common medicines from behind the counter or keep them in a locked cabinet. They would still be available without a prescription but stores would keep records of sales. Under the legislation, importers and exporters of "precursor" drugs would have to report on their shipments to prevent them from being diverted into meth production. "The most effective way to fight the meth epidemic is to make it harder for criminals to get the key ingredient in the production of this deadly drug," said acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican. The drive to combat meth has had bipartisan support in both the House and Senate as law enforcement and treatment advocacy groups have called for more federal action. Some lawmakers have also pressed for more funding and research into treatment. "Meth abuse is creating chaos in small-town America. We are witnessing large-scale proliferation of small meth labs in homes, trailers, and garages where about $100 worth of materials from the local drug store can be cooked into about $1,000 worth of meth," Delaware Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record) said earlier this year when an anti-meth caucus was founded. "These labs present an incredible danger to law enforcement who raid them, they are an environmental nightmare, and most importantly, they present an unbelievable hazard to kids," he said.
  8. December 4, 2005 -- DENNIS Rodman was bounced out of Crobar the other night after he jumped onstage during a sold-out set by DJ Tiesto and ripped off his clothes. The former NBA star doffed his shirt and pulled down his pants to expose his backside, prompting a disgusted Tiesto to storm offstage. "Rodman chased after him, screaming that that he was sorry and for him to come back," says a witness. A club spokesman confirmed that Rodman was escorted out when Tiesto refused to return to his turntables until "The Worm" was shown the door. Rodman mouthpiece Darren Prince put a different spin on it: "They did not throw him out. I swear. We walked up on stage, and the deejay stopped playing, and the crowd was screaming, 'Rodman, Rodman, Rodman.' [Tiesto] did refuse to come back on, though, so that is true. He must have been p-d, I guess, but the crowd loved [Rodman]."

Swapping Scoops: Every Night the 'NY Times' and 'Wash Post' Exchange Front Pages for the Following Day Leonard Downie, Jr. By Joe Strupp Published: September 14, 2005 10:30 AM ET NEW YORK When The New York Times on July 16 broke the story of a 2003 State Department memo that had become a key element in the Valerie Plame leak investigation, the paper scored a major exclusive. But when The Washington Post hit newsstands that very same Saturday, it had its own version of the same story. It even credited the Times for the same-day scoop. Welcome to life under the Washington Post-New York Times swap. As part of a secret arrangement formed more than 10 years ago, the Post and Times send each other copies of their next day's front pages every night. The sharing began as a courtesy between Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. and former Times Executive Editor Joseph Lelyveld in the early 1990s and has continued ever since. "It seemed logical, because for years we would always try to get a copy of each other's papers as soon as they came out," Downie tells E&P. "It made sense to both of us to make it simpler for everybody." Lelyveld, who left the Times in 2001, declined comment. The Plame memo story is a good example of the swap's success. Although the Times did not post the memo story on its Web site the previous evening, as it often does with next-day stories, it was placed on the e-mailed, Page One image the Post received at around 11 p.m. on July 15. When the Post's editors saw the scoop, they assigned reporters Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei to track it down. "We were able to match it, and got it in the [July 16] second edition," recalls Vince Bzdek, a Post news editor who was on duty that night. "We wouldn't have gotten it if we did not have their front page. They had not posted the story, because it was an exclusive." When the swap first began in the mid-'90s, each paper would fax copies of its Page One layout, Downie says, adding that he does not remember which paper proposed the idea first. In recent years, they have moved to electronic transmissions of the front pages, usually sent between 10:30 and 11 p.m. This exchange is just the latest element of a Page One battle that dates back several decades, according to those at both papers. Veterans at the Post recall a line of taxis regularly waiting outside their building to grab the first editions for rival papers -- most notably for the Times, back when the printing presses were located on site. "We would have someone waiting over at the Post building, a taxi or messenger service, to get the first paper to come off the press," notes Philip Taubman, the Times' Washington bureau chief and a 26-year employee. "It would be delivered to the bureau by 11 p.m. I don't know if they made a copy for us, or if we took it out of the box." Post editors claim a similar effort by their New York bureau, which would arrange a pick-up at the Times' Manhattan headquarters, where the paper was printed before that process was shifted to several suburban plants. Associate Editor Robert Kaiser, a former managing editor who has been at the Post since 1963, says his paper at one time even hired a New Yorker to listen to a radio show on WQXR, the Times-owned radio station that previewed the next day's front-page stories. "Some retired person we retained for a modest fee to listen and tip us off," Kaiser says about the era preceding Web sites, e-mail, and faxes. "I believe he lived in a retirement home." Taubman said it was much harder back then to nail down a story that had just run in the Post in time for the same day's edition of the Times. He recalled a Post story by Bob Woodward in 1979 or 1980 that broke news on the intelligence beat, which he found out about through the early edition of the paper. "I had to chase it that night, and I had no sources," Taubman recalls. "I found one person and he gave me some material so I could match it." Now he notes there have been some stories that the Post did not place on its Web site the night before, and even delayed until the later editions in an apparent effort to deny the Times a follow-up chance. "We were never sure if they held it back to blind us," says Taubman. The Times-Post rivalry is unique in that it is believed to be the only one that involves two newspapers located some 200 miles apart, but with a competition that rivals any two-newspaper city. "This is really a peer group of two," explains Kaiser. The Los Angeles Times "has a place in it," he observes, "but it is not the same because it is in a different time zone. There is really nothing else like it."
  14. yeah i was hearing on cnn yesterday that the way the wall broke it cracked in half not topple over like a mass amount of water would do. goddamn i cant wait to hear what all these liberals who have been foaming at the mouth about spending cuts causing the levee to break will do now!!! god damn i hate liberals! always jumping to conclusions. couldnt even wait a few weeks to find out all details they automatically pounce on anything they can get their hands on. i mean think about it all they are doing iis using this disaster to rip on bush they have been waiting for something like this for a long time. make you wonder that they are secretly glad this happened in order for them to spread their propaganda BULLSHIT!

  16. Tempers flare between Houston, Louisiana students and their mothers 05:14 PM CDT on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 By Wendell Edwards / 11 News Click to watch Wendell Edwards' 5pm report Click to watch video of confrontation between mothers AIR11 Three students were taken to area hospitals with injuries from the altercation. Security will be increased Wednesday at a southeast Houston high school where a fight broke Tuesday between Louisiana and Houston students. "Man, they were just going at it," said Larry Citizen, a student. "Man, that's all it was -- Louisiana versus Jessie Jones." When it was over, three Jones High School students were in the hospital and five were in police custody. The scene got even uglier when parents arrived. A loud verbal confrontation broke out between mothers of some of the students involved in the first fight. "They jumped on my nephew inside this school, busted him in the head. They're sending him to the hospital," yelled one woman. Also online Slideshow: Jones H.S. fight Police separated the group of women and threatened to arrest them if they didn't calm down. "They jumped on my son, but yet you want to arrest me," complained one mother. "Let us work it out, OK?" one HPD officer told the angry parents. KHOU A verbal confrontation broke out between the students' mothers who showed up at the school. One mother of a student who was arrested ended up in handcuffs herself. The first fight started around 9 a.m. when a bus rolled up carrying Katrina evacuees enrolled at the school. According to police, someone threw a can at one of the evacuees and that set off a fight involving several students. Ambulances were called to the scene to take the injured to Ben Taub Hospital. It's not clear whether they were evacuees or Houston students. Of the five arrested, Two are from Louisiana and three are Houston students. All are charged with disruption of school activities. Witnesses at the scene say today's incident was retaliation for another altercation on Friday. Parents say tensions had been strained since the evacuees started school here last week. KHOU Three Houston students and two from Louisiana were arrested. "They beat my nephew up. We're from New Orleans," said one woman. "We need to go home. We need to go home because ya'll don't want us here anyway," said another evacuee. Michael Lewis says, from his perspective, the students are just mirroring the frustration of many adults. "You have ladies that have been trying to get on welfare and food stamps, trying to get government assistance, housing. And then evacuees coming here and getting it instantly," said Lewis. "The whole city is a melting pot." HISD says officials reminded students that fighting of any kind will not be tolerated. "We expect our children to have behave better than this. Also we've said to the New Orleans kids, you are our guest, but you have to follow the rules." said HISD spokesman Terry Abbott. Extra police officers and a group of ministers will try to help keep the peace at the school beginning Wednesday. About 200 evacuees are attending Jones High School in the 7400 block of St. Lo. That's the largest number of evacuee students in any Houston school. HISD officials say a total of 3,000 Louisiana students are attending their schools.

  22. Jack Kelly: No shame The federal response to Katrina was not as portrayed Sunday, September 11, 2005 It is settled wisdom among journalists that the federal response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina was unconscionably slow. Jack Kelly is national security writer for the Post-Gazette and The Blade of Toledo, Ohio (jkelly@post-gazette.com, 412-263-1476). "Mr. Bush's performance last week will rank as one of the worst ever during a dire national emergency," wrote New York Times columnist Bob Herbert in a somewhat more strident expression of the conventional wisdom. But the conventional wisdom is the opposite of the truth. Jason van Steenwyk is a Florida Army National Guardsman who has been mobilized six times for hurricane relief. He notes that: "The federal government pretty much met its standard time lines, but the volume of support provided during the 72-96 hour was unprecedented. The federal response here was faster than Hugo, faster than Andrew, faster than Iniki, faster than Francine and Jeanne." For instance, it took five days for National Guard troops to arrive in strength on the scene in Homestead, Fla. after Hurricane Andrew hit in 2002. But after Katrina, there was a significant National Guard presence in the afflicted region in three. Journalists who are long on opinions and short on knowledge have no idea what is involved in moving hundreds of tons of relief supplies into an area the size of England in which power lines are down, telecommunications are out, no gasoline is available, bridges are damaged, roads and airports are covered with debris, and apparently have little interest in finding out. So they libel as a "national disgrace" the most monumental and successful disaster relief operation in world history. I write this column a week and a day after the main levee protecting New Orleans breached. In the course of that week: More than 32,000 people have been rescued, many plucked from rooftops by Coast Guard helicopters. The Army Corps of Engineers has all but repaired the breaches and begun pumping water out of New Orleans. Shelter, food and medical care have been provided to more than 180,000 refugees. Journalists complain that it took a whole week to do this. A former Air Force logistics officer had some words of advice for us in the Fourth Estate on his blog, Moltenthought: "We do not yet have teleporter or replicator technology like you saw on 'Star Trek' in college between hookah hits and waiting to pick up your worthless communications degree while the grown-ups actually engaged in the recovery effort were studying engineering. "The United States military can wipe out the Taliban and the Iraqi Republican Guard far more swiftly than they can bring 3 million Swanson dinners to an underwater city through an area the size of Great Britain which has no power, no working ports or airports, and a devastated and impassable road network. "You cannot speed recovery and relief efforts up by prepositioning assets (in the affected areas) since the assets are endangered by the very storm which destroyed the region. "No amount of yelling, crying and mustering of moral indignation will change any of the facts above." "You cannot just snap your fingers and make the military appear somewhere," van Steenwyk said. Guardsmen need to receive mobilization orders; report to their armories; draw equipment; receive orders and convoy to the disaster area. Guardsmen driving down from Pennsylvania or Navy ships sailing from Norfolk can't be on the scene immediately. Relief efforts must be planned. Other than prepositioning supplies near the area likely to be afflicted (which was done quite efficiently), this cannot be done until the hurricane has struck and a damage assessment can be made. There must be a route reconnaissance to determine if roads are open, and bridges along the way can bear the weight of heavily laden trucks. And federal troops and Guardsmen from other states cannot be sent to a disaster area until their presence has been requested by the governors of the afflicted states. Exhibit A on the bill of indictment of federal sluggishness is that it took four days before most people were evacuated from the Louisiana Superdome. The levee broke Tuesday morning. Buses had to be rounded up and driven from Houston to New Orleans across debris-strewn roads. The first ones arrived Wednesday evening. That seems pretty fast to me. A better question -- which few journalists ask -- is why weren't the roughly 2,000 municipal and school buses in New Orleans utilized to take people out of the city before Katrina struck?
