      <description>MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - A 6-year-old elementary school student was 
handcuffed and arrested Friday after she allegedly threw a tantrum in 
class. 
 CBS affiliate  WMAZ 
 reports that according to the police report, the girl tore items off 
the walls and threw furniture. The report also says the girl knocked 
over a shelf that injured the school principal.  The girl was 
crying in the principal's office at Creekside Elementary before police 
arrived. When the officer tried to calm the child, she resisted and was 
handcuffed.  &quot;Our policy is that any detainee transported to our 
station in a patrol vehicle is to be handcuffed in the back. There is no
 age discrimination on that rule,&quot; said Milledgeville Chief of Police 
Dray Swicord.  Police took the young girl to the police station 
where she was charged with simple assault and damage to property. As she
 is only 6-years-old, she will not have to go to court. The girl was also suspended until August.

      <title>Jewish Journalist fired from Job for threatening to kill Obama, Muslim jailed for same thing</title>

      <description>During President Obama's 2008 Democratic primary 
battle a poster began circulation around the internet of then-Sen. Obama
 caught in the cross-hairs of a right wing militia member posing as a 
patriotic American. Much was made of it at the time and calls were made 
to Republican lawmakers to rebuke such violent political expression. 
These calls were met with a lukewarm reception.   Thus, President
 Obama has been rebuked and scorned throughout his presidency. The most 
recent attacks comes from Republican Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich,
 who in the demeanor of a school yard bully, on the campaign trail, 
continuously chides President Obama as &quot;the food stamp president.&quot;  President Obama has received more threats per capita than Jackie Robinson or Hank Aaron received the years they broke well-established Major League Baseball records previously held by white Americans.

 
 Now this, Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish 
Times, suggested to his readers last week (Jan. 13, 2012) that Israel 
should order a hit on President Obama. Adler's column has since been 
pulled from the Atlanta Jewish Times' website but it read in part: 
&quot;...give the go-ahead for U. S.-based Mossad agents to take out a 
president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice 
president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United 
States' policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its 
enemies.&quot;  The Atlanta Jewish Times is a well respected tabloid 
in the Atlanta Jewish community, and Mr. Adler's opinions are not taken 
lightly. The newspaper was established in 1925 following the Leo Franks 
case, where a Jewish factory superintendent was accused of raping and 
killing Mary Phagan, a white woman, who worked in a pencil factory. 
Franks was convicted largely on the testimony of a Negro menial laborer 
in the factory. His sentence was commuted by John Slaton, the outgoing 
Governor, on June 21, 1915. But on August 16, 1915, a band of Georgia's 
finest citizens took Franks out of the prison in Milledgeville, Georgia 
and hung him till death. Ten years later the Atlanta Jewish Times was 
established as a way to keep Atlanta's Jewish community informed of 
issues affecting their well-being.  Interesting to note that 
Adler believes there are Mossad agents operating within the United 
States. In light of the assassination in Iran on an Iranian nuclear 
scientist this month, Adler's suggestion should not be taken lightly. 
Mossad one would guess has more of a capability to get to the president 
than any right-wing militiaman.  Apparently the United Secret 
Service is taking Adler's column serious and has followed up on their 
initial comments to ABC News that they will &quot;...make all appropriate 
investigative follow-up in regards to this message.&quot;  In addition
 to facing the wrath of the secret service, Adler has run afoul of the 
powerful Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta. This association has 
pledged not to support the Jewish Times as long as Adler has anything to
 do with it.  Blogger John Cook who broke this story last week 
reports that Adler is seeking a buyer for the publication he has owned 
since 2009.


http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/13/uzbek-man-gets-more-than-15-years-for-obama-threat/




BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -  An Uzbek man who 
came to America pursuing an Ivy League medical degree but wound up 
working seven days a week at a mall kiosk in Alabama was sentenced to 
more than 15 years in prison Friday for plotting to kill President 
Barack Obama.
              U.S. District Judge Abdul K. Kallon imposed the sentence on Ulugbek Kodirov, 22. He had faced up to 30 years in prison.


              Written and oral court pleadings showed Kodirov, whose 
parents are professionals who worked for the government in his native 
Uzbekistan, was accepted to study medicine at Columbia University in New
 York but never enrolled because his English was too poor.
              He later moved to Alabama for a job and worked at the 
massive Riverchase Galleria in suburban Hoover, where the defense said 
he used his laptop and free wi-fi service to connect with extremists who
 turned him against the United States.
              Wearing an orange jail uniforms and leg chains, Kodirov apologized in halting English.


              &quot;I am truly sorry for every mistake that I have done,&quot; he told the judge.


              Defense attorney Lance Bell argued that Kodirov -  who 
had the equivalent of a nursing degree in his native country before he 
moved to New York  -  had accepted responsibility for his actions and 
was trying to straighten out his life. He said Kodirov wasn't &quot;a big, 
bad terrorist.&quot;
              &quot;I'm not calling him a victim, but he's a victim to a degree of social media,&quot; Bell said.


              Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Whisonant said Kodirov 
would have tried to kill Obama and a foreign group would have taken 
credit had he not been arrested a year ago.
              &quot;This case is an example of how our youth can be 
radicalized by the propaganda and lies on the Internet,&quot; Whisonant told 
the judge.
              Kodirov pleaded guilty in February to threatening to 
kill the president, providing material support to terrorism and 
unlawfully possessing a firearm. He said he came up with the plan to 
kill Obama as he campaigned for re-election after communicating over the
 Internet with a man he believed to be a member of an Uzbek Islamic 
group the United States classifies as a terrorist organization.
              Members of the Islamic community in Birmingham helped in the case against Kodirov, prosecutors said.


              A complaint said Kodirov contacted an unidentified 
person trying to buy weapons in early July 2011, and that person became a
 confidential source for the government. Accompanied by the witness, 
Kodirov purchased a Sendra M115A1 automatic rifle from an undercover 
agent at a Birmingham-area motel and made a final threat against the 
president, authorities said. The agent also gave Kodirov four hand 
grenades with the powder removed.
              Authorities said Kodirov was in the country illegally 
because he obtained a student visa but never enrolled in school. He 
faces deportation after his release; Bell said he could be killed when 
he returns home for his actions.
              The defense argued Kodirov was lonely and turned to the
 Internet for entertainment and companionship after moving to Alabama, 
where few people speak his native language. He was able to communicate 
with other believers in Islam over his laptop computer, they said.
              A sentencing memorandum submitted by his defense 
attorney said Kodirov began viewing jihadist websites and YouTube 
videos. After communicating with Muslim men, &quot;came to the belief that 
Americans were killing his people in cold blood.&quot;
              &quot;Ulugbek then developed an anti-American attitude along
 with losing trust in Americans,&quot; said the document. Kodirov's beliefs 
changed after his arrest when he learned when he learned stories he had 
been told were lies, Bell argued.
              Located in central Asia, Uzbekistan and was once part 
of the former Soviet Union. It is slightly larger than California and 
the vast majority of its population is Muslim.
              Islamic terrorists have been linked to sporadic 
violence in the country for more than a decade, according to the State 
Department.

          An American Israeli Jewish journalist wrote
 an article where he stated that Obama should be assassinated by the 
state of Israel. He was in America at that time, and still is. He was 
fired from his job.



An Uzbek (country neighbouring Afghanistan) Muslim American threatened to kill Obama and he was jailed for that.



In my country I can state whatever I can about Obama, and threaten to 
kill him as I please, but in America you will be put to jail only if 
you're not an Israeli Jew.</description>

      <title>GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE'S BIRTHDAY</title>

      <description>Robert E. Lee: Remembering An American Legend
 By Calvin E. Johnson Jr.  Tuesday, January 18, 2011 
America has always loved her heroes like: Baseball Legend-Babe Ruth, Golf Great-Ben Hogan, Movie Actor-John Wayne and.....

Wednesday, January 19, 2011, is the 204th birthday of General Robert E. Lee.

Young people will get a school holiday in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King whose birthday is January 15th. But, will anyone tell them that January 19th is also the birthday of Robert E. Lee?

Booker T. Washington, America's great Black-American Educator wrote in 1910, 

&quot;The first white people in America, certainly the first in the South to exhibit their interest in the reaching of the Negro and saving his soul through the medium of the Sunday-school were Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.&quot;

 

During Robert E. Lee's 100th birthday in 1907, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., a former Union Army Commander and grandson of United States President John Quincy Adams, spoke in tribute to Robert E. Lee at Washington and Lee College's Lee Chapel in Lexington, Virginia. His speech was printed in both Northern and Southern newspapers and is said to had lifted Lee to a renewed respect among the American people.

Robert E. Lee-Stonewall Jackson Day events are planned for Saturday, January 15, 2011, in Lexington, Virginia that includes a Memorial at Lee Chapel featuring Guest Speaker Kenny J. Rowlette with topic: Opposites In Command-The Legendary Partnership of Lee and Jackson. For additional information go to: leejacksonday.webs.com

And the Georgia Division Sons of Confederate Veterans will sponsor their 24th Annual Robert E. Lee birthday celebration on Saturday, January 22, 2011, in the Legislative Chambers of Georgia's Old Capitol in Milledgeville, Georgia that will begin with a parade to the Old Capitol at 10:45 AM.

Many more events are planned for Robert E. Lee....

Who was born at &quot;Stratford&quot; in Westmoreland County, Virginia, on January 19, 1807. The winter was cold and fireplaces were little help for Robert's mother, Ann Hill (Carter) Lee.

Ann Lee named her son &quot;Robert Edward&quot; after her two brothers.

Robert E. Lee undoubtedly acquired his love of country from those who had lived during the American Revolution. His father, &quot;Light Horse&quot; Harry, was a hero of the revolution and served as Governor of Virginia and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Members of his family also signed the Declaration of Independence.

Lee was educated in the schools of Alexandria, Virginia. In 1825, he received an appointment to West Point Military Academy. He graduated in 1829, second in his class and without a single demerit.

Robert E. Lee wed Mary Anna Randolph Custis in June 1831, two years after his graduation from West Point. Robert and Mary had grown up together. Mary was the daughter of George Washington Parke Custis, the grandson of Martha Washington and the adopted son of George Washington.

Mary was an only child; therefore, she inherited Arlington House, across the Potomac from Washington, where she and Robert raised seven children.

In 1836, Lee was appointed to first lieutenant. In 1838, with the rank of captain, Lee fought valiantly in the War with Mexico and was wounded at the Battle of Chapultepec.

He was appointed superintendent of West Point in 1852 and is considered one of the best superintendents in that institution's history.

General Winfield Scott offered Robert E. Lee command of the Union Army in 1861, but he refused. He said, &quot;I cannot raise my hand against my birthplace, my home, my children.&quot;

Lee served as adviser to Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and then commanded the legendary Army of Northern Virginia.

After four terrible years of death and destruction, General Robert E. Lee met General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia, and ended their battles.

In the fall of 1865, Lee was offered and accepted the presidency of troubled Washington College in Lexington, Virginia. The school was renamed Washington and Lee in his honor.

Robert E. Lee died at 9:30 on the morning of October 12, 1870, at Washington-Lee College.

He is buried in a chapel on the school grounds with his family and near his favorite horse, Traveller.

President Theodore Roosevelt described General Robert E. Lee as &quot;the very greatest of all the great captains that the English-speaking peoples have brought forth.&quot;</description>

      <description>Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged after an investigation into accusations of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman in Georgia, sources told ESPN.

Munson: Too many doubts

Lester Munson In the Roethlisberger case, prosecutors were faced with too many uncertainties to move forward. 

Sources confirmed to ESPN's Kelly Naqi that District Attorney Fred Bright will announce on Monday that charges will not be brought against Roethlisberger. Bright said in a statement Friday he has reviewed all the investigation reports and will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. ET Monday.

Milledgeville police Chief Woodrow Blue said Wednesday his department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had wrapped up their investigation into a 20-year-old college student's claim that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her early March 5 at a club in Milledgeville.

It was the second time in a year that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual misconduct. He also faces a lawsuit filed last July by a woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino, an allegation he denies. Roethlisberger has not been criminally charged in either case and has claimed counterdamages in the lawsuit.

Roethlisberger did not report to Pittsburgh's offseason workouts last month. The next critical day for players is April 19, when on-field practice starts. Most of the team is expected to be on hand then.

ESPN's Kelly Naqi and The Associated Press contributed to this report.</description>

      <title>Murder case and the &amp;quot;Leo Frank lynching&amp;quot; live on...</title>

      <description>Turn back time, more than 90 years, to a cold case that won't gather dust.

It's a classic whodunit, starting with the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl and ending in a lynching. It was grist for a prosecutor's political aspirations, a case that was appealed all the way to the country's highest court and a story hotly debated in the national press.

At the center of it all was Leo Frank, a northern Jew who'd moved to Atlanta to supervise the National Pencil Company factory. When the body of Mary Phagan, a white child laborer, was found in the basement, law enforcement homed in on Frank. He was tried and convicted, based on what most historians say was the perjured testimony of a black man, and sentenced to death. But when the governor commuted his sentence in 1915, about 25 men abducted Frank, 31, from the state prison and hung him from a tree in Marietta, Georgia.

Considered one of the most sensational trials of the early 20th century, the Frank case seemed to press every hot-button issue of the time: North vs. South, black vs. white, Jew vs. Christian, industrial vs. agrarian.

In the years since, it has inspired numerous books and films, TV programs, plays, musicals and songs. It has fueled legal discussions, spawned a traveling exhibition and driven public forums.

Who murdered Mary Phagan? What forces were behind the lynching of Frank? Why should we still care?

Answers to these questions, or theories, keep coming.

&quot;Leo Frank was not a good ole Southern boy. He was different and not ashamed of being different,&quot; said Ben Loeterman, whose new documentary, &quot;The People v. Leo Frank,&quot; will air Monday on PBS. &quot;The test of us as a society is not necessarily how we treat the best among us but how we treat the most questionable.&quot;
Mixed in with ongoing analysis of the Phagan-Frank story are the descendants of those involved, people who learned of their connections differently and carry these legacies forward in unique ways.

The accused

&quot;The story goes that no one in my family talked about it,&quot; said Cathee Smithline, a 62-year-old great-niece of Frank.

Frank was the one who handed Mary Phagan her check when she stopped by the factory on April 26, 1913, Confederate Memorial Day. The night watchman, Newt Lee, would find the body and call police early the next day.

Smithline, of Wyckoff, New Jersey, was 16 when she first heard about the case. Her mother sat her down, told her a story about what a man in the South had been through, said it was based on her uncle and handed over a book: &quot;A Little Girl is Dead.&quot;

It turns out Smithline's mother got the news in her teens, too, when her boyfriend turned to her after seeing &quot;They Won't Forget,&quot; a 1937 Hollywood film. &quot;You know that's about your uncle,&quot; he said.

She'd grown up hearing Uncle Leo died of pneumonia, and after asking family about it, the truth was revealed, followed by the words, &quot;We will never talk about this again,&quot; Smithline said.

&quot;I think it was a family embarrassment,&quot; she said. &quot;My grandmother   was very close to her brother. It cannot be easy to tell someone your brother was lynched and why.&quot;

The first victim

Mary Phagan Kean was 13 when the story hit her. She was in a South Carolina classroom, and her name stopped short a teacher taking attendance.

&quot;Mary Phagan, you say?&quot; she recalled the teacher asking, peering up from his list. He wanted to know if she was related to a girl with that name who died in 1913. Confidently, she told him she wasn't. But the boys on the playground taunted her anyway, telling her she was reincarnated from a dead girl.
Traumatized, she asked her father about her name. &quot;He turned whiter than white,&quot; she remembered.

Mary Phagan had been her grandfather's little sister. He only wept when asked about her. When Mary Phagan Kean's family moved back to Marietta, questions about that name never stopped.

&quot;I went on a campaign,&quot; said Kean, 55, who sought out every article and piece of information she could find. &quot;I did that for years and years and years.&quot;

The consensus of historians is that the Frank case was a miscarriage of justice. Crime scene evidence was destroyed, they say. A bloody hand print was not analyzed. Transcripts from the trial vanished.

Frank's conviction was based largely on the testimony of a janitor, Jim Conley, who most came to see as Phagan's killer. He'd written notes found with the body, but said they were dictated to him. The prosecutor, Hugh Dorsey, used race in his argument, saying a black man couldn't be smart enough to come up with such stories.
Witnesses would come forward to say Conley was seen carrying the body and washing out a bloody shirt. Conley's own attorney, William Smith, came to believe in Frank's innocence, scrawling a note to that effect on his death bed nearly 35 years later.

Conley, who appeared in the press for petty crimes over the years, eventually disappeared.

Dorsey, the prosecutor, had political aspirations riding on this win.

&quot;A conviction of just another black guy wasn't going to do anything for his career,&quot; said Sandy Berman, the archivist at The William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum in Atlanta who created the traveling exhibit, &quot;Seeking Justice: The Leo Frank Case Revisited.&quot;

Two years after Frank's lynching, Dorsey was elected governor of Georgia.

But the story was interpreted differently by Kean, who wrote &quot;The Murder of Little Mary Phagan,&quot; and stands by this conclusion: &quot;Leo Frank was guilty as sin. He was a sexual pervert.&quot;

Kean often visits her namesake's grave in Marietta. She's not the only one. She says she's struck by the teddy bears people leave there.

The governor

Elizabeth Slaton Wallace couldn't be prouder of her heritage. At 81, she's the great-niece of the late Georgia Gov. John M. Slaton, the man who commuted Frank's death sentence to a life sentence, believing Frank's innocence would be proved and, in doing so, ruined his political career.

The Georgia National Guard was called out to protect the governor after his decision prompted a rabble-rousing newspaper publisher to call for the lynching of both Frank and Slaton.

Frank had been moved to the state prison in Milledgeville, Georgia, where an inmate slashed his throat. He survived, but weeks later about two dozen Marietta men came into the prison, with no resistance from officials, and abducted Frank in the dark of night.
By dawn, he was hanging from a tree in Marietta. Photographs of his dangling body and the crowds who gathered there adorned souvenir postcards.

&quot;Leo Frank was a Jew and a Yankee Jew at that. He was railroaded. Uncle Jack knew that,&quot; said Wallace, who lives in Atlanta.

She can't explain why the story persists to this day. But throughout her life she's witnessed the kindness of the Jewish community, especially toward her father, who was named for the late governor.

&quot;The Jewish community could never do enough for my father,&quot; said Wallace, who recalled being in a Jewish-owned store with her parents in the 1980s. &quot;They could have given us the shop.&quot;

As grateful as they were to Slaton, Frank's lynching left Georgia's small Jewish community frightened. Many left the state; those who stayed kept a low profile. For decades, they only spoke of Frank in hushed tones.

The lynching party

The lynching of a white man can hardly be compared to what happened in the black community in the South. But this case, the only lynching of a Jew on American soil, was the culmination of a state-sponsored conspiracy, historians say.
While Georgia Jews remained quiet, so did those who were involved in Frank's killing, said Steve Oney of Los Angeles, California, who wrote the authoritative book &quot;And the Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank.&quot; It would be about 80 years before members of the lynching party were publicly, and not just secretly, known.

&quot;They were not liquored-up yahoos,&quot; said Oney, a journalist, editor and Atlanta native who spent 17 years researching his book. &quot;These were smart, deliberate people -- from good, prominent families.&quot;

They included a former governor, a former mayor, a U.S. senator's son, a judge, lawyers, a state legislator and business owners. One of the 25 or so men was Cicero Dobbs, the grandfather-in-law of Roy Barnes, a Georgia lawyer and politician who is a former governor himself and will be running again in 2010.

Barnes and his wife, Marie, never knew Dobbs, who owned a taxi company in Marietta and likely provided transportation to the prison where Frank was held. Oney broke the news about the family connection to them.

&quot;Marie's parents didn't know. It was never mentioned,&quot; Barnes said. &quot;On death beds, people confessed. It was just that powerful.&quot;

Barnes, who is featured in the new documentary, said it's important to keep the story alive and learn from it.

&quot;It's a terrible blot on our history,&quot; he said. &quot;How we keep it from happening again is to never forget.&quot;</description>

      <title>Georgia Democrat Hasn't Paid Taxes in Two Years </title>

      <description>Brown said  he will answer to the voters next year, when he's up for re-election.

ATLANTA - Nearly 10 percent of Georgia state legislators are late filing or paying their state taxes, and state Sen. Robert Brown is apparently among them.

  Brown, D-Macon, said Wednesday he's not sure whether he actually owes the state or federal government any money because he hasn't filed tax returns. He said he's gotten extensions, but he declined to give more information or say for what years he received filing extensions.

 He told Atlanta station WXIA-TV that he had not filed his income taxes at least in the past two years, according to a report on the station's Web site. He volunteered the information while arguing against a change in Senate rules that would make it easier for the body to take action against, or even expel, members who don't pay their taxes.

That effort came in response to the discovery late last week that 19 legislators had failed to pay income taxes, some for several years. Those legislators have not been identified, due to Georgia Department of Revenue and federal Internal Revenue Service privacy policies. But a list, without names, was prepared and given to the chairmen of the House and Senate ethics committees, at their request, Revenue Commissioner Bart Graham said.

Graham said Wednesday that the list has grown to 22, with three of the legislators actually having liens levied against them or wages garnished so taxes could be collected. That would make their names public record, but Graham said Wednesday evening that he didn't know them off the top of his head.

The department publishes a list of taxpayers with a lien or garnishment against them online, but it has to be searched by name. There are 236 elected members of the Georgia General Assembly, with 56 in the Senate and 180 in the House. Brown's name doesn't appear to be on the list.

Graham said the 22 legislators were, in most cases, &quot;repeat offenders&quot; who &quot;without a doubt&quot; are purposefully behind. There are Republicans and Democrats among the 22, and members of both the House and Senate, he said.

The Telegraph asked most Middle Georgia legislators Wednesday whether they are current on their state, federal and local taxes. Only Brown and State Rep. Willie Talton said no.

Talton, R-Warner Robins, said he's current on federal and state income taxes but that he owes about $30,000 on last year's property taxes in Houston and Peach counties. Talton owns rental properties and said he owes only on last year's taxes.

&quot;I'm in the process of making arrangements,&quot; he said.

Senators Cecil Staton, R-Macon, Ross Tolleson, R-Perry, Seth Harp, R-Midland, and Johnny Grant, R-Milledgeville, all told The Telegraph they were current on state, federal and local taxes.

So did state Reps. Allen Peake, R-Macon, Nikki Randall, D-Macon, David Lucas, D-Macon, Bubber Epps, D-Jeffersonville, Tony Sellier, R-Fort Valley, Larry O'Neal, R-Warner Robins, Jim Cole, R-Forsyth, Jimmy Pruett, R-Eastman, DuBose Porter, D-Dublin, Bobby Parham, D-Milledgeville, Buddy Harden, R-Cordele, and Lynmore James, D-Montezuma.

Brown said he needs to pay his taxes and that he's simply &quot;exercising the same rules&quot; anyone can by filing for extensions. It's not clear whether that's actually the case, though. Graham said state law requires people to pay their estimated taxes even if they file for an extension.

And extensions merely allow you to file a tax return in October, instead of April.

Brown said he is &quot;bearing the same (tax) burden&quot; as any Georgia taxpayer and that he will answer to the voters next year, when he's up for re-election.

&quot;In 2010 I will stand to be judged,&quot; he said.

His colleagues may judge him sooner than that. A new rule has been proposed that would give other senators more power to take action against senators who don't pay their taxes. Similar discussions are taking place in the House, though a rule change may not be required there.

Brown said revenue officials are charged with making sure legislators pay their taxes, just like any Georgian. He said he would fight any effort to give the Senate more access to legislators' tax records.

&quot;It is not a group of political hacks over at the Senate who should have that authority,&quot; he said.</description>
