The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) published a report accusing Samuel Shamba Warlick of sexually abusing children at a housing facility for missionary families in the Congo in the late 1980s.
January 14, 2011|By Amy Pavuk, Orlando Sentinel
An Oviedo man with past ties to church missions in Africa was arrested by the FBI on child-pornography charges Friday.
The arrest of Samuel Shamba Warlick comes three months after the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) published a report unrelated to the FBI case accusing Warlick of sexually abusing children at a housing facility for missionary families in the Congo in the late 1980s.
Warlick, 39, made an appearance Friday afternoon in Orlando federal court and was ordered to be jailed until a hearing next week. He faces charges of possessing and distributing child pornography, and could be sentenced up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
According to court documents, law-enforcement officers began investigating Warlick in an undercover capacity online in December.
When agents searched his home Friday, Warlick told them he has possessed child pornography for the past 10 years and that he prefers boys who are between 13 and 16 years old.

Army to implement new mental health screening procedures

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
The Pentagon will report on Army suicide rates for 2010 Wednesday
A study found pre-deployment screenings cut down on problems later
The soldier and unit both benefit from the screenings
Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. Army hopes it can do a better job of preventing mental health problems in the ranks with more aggressive screening of troops -- before they ship out to a war zone.
After nine years of fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, the military is coping with a wave of mental health issues, from post-traumatic stress disorder to depression and suicide.
Army medical experts have been studying the results of a just-released study of the benefits of pre-deployment evaluation of soldiers and follow-up treatment while they were in Iraq. The study found that improved screening reduced later behavioral problems by 78% and reduced thoughts of suicide by more than half.
The service is struggling with a troubling suicide rate. At a news conference at the Pentagon later Wednesday, officials will report that while the number of suicides in the active-duty force declined in 2010, the number of suicides in the Army Reserve and National Guard increased, a senior Army official said.

Missouri town bans protests during funerals
Does the Westboro group have the right to do what they want, say what they want, attack anyone they want? According to the ACLU, they have every right to stalk and harass families trying to bury their dead. I usually agree with the ACLU but in this case, they picked the wrong side to fight for. The families needed someone fighting for them to do something as simple as be able to have a funeral for someone they loved. That's all they are asking for. No one has said Westboro can't hold up protest signs or scream any kind of rant they want but what they do not deserve and are not entitled to is a right to demand the attention of a captive group of mourners. That is the point in all of this. The ACLU is fighting for the rights of this group to go where they want, do what they want so they can use their rights but in the process, they are preventing the rights of families who have to be there when Westboro does not. The ACLU is defending a group of stalkers wanting attention at any cost.
Keeping them away from the families during the funeral keeps them from getting attention and that is the only thing they want. But that again is the right of the media to cover them or not. Let them protest, hold up as many signs as this tiny group can hold, say anything they want to prove they have no relationship to Christ but not when the families are forced to see them, hear them and be harassed by them.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. — Despite the likelihood that it will be sued, an eastern Missouri city has voted to ban protests at funerals.
The St. Charles City Council voted Tuesday night to allow protests during visitations and street and highway processions. But protests will be banned within 300 feet of funeral and burial sites between an hour before and an hour after an observance.

Hepatitis C Cases Appearing More In Vietnam Veterans
Hepatitis C Cases Appearing More In Vietnam Veterans
By MIKE BOWERSOCK
Published: January 17, 2011
BEXLEY, Ohio --
It is becoming a battle that doesn't end for Vietnam veterans.
Medical writers researching VA medical centers claim that between 10 and 20 percent of veterans from the Vietnam era have hepatitis c.
"It can remain undetected, usually remains undetected for 20 to 30 years and then all of a sudden things start to show up with you," said Dennis Agin, who has the virus.
Agin is a navy veteran and was a doctor in Vietnam.
"I did unprotected surgery in Vietnam," said Agin.
In fact, that's where the disease is showing up: among medics from Vietnam.
"If they were medics and they went to a wounded person, they're going to get that person's blood on them and if they had a cut on their body or it went in their eyes they're going to pick up the disease," Agin said.
It is believed that the disease could have also been passed with air injection inoculations, but it is among the medical veterans where it is showing up more frequently.

Bus driver told homeless veteran to get off the bus caught on video
A homeless veteran guy is told to get off the bus for NO REASON by the disrespectful bus driver of MTA in Baltimore, MD
He got on the bus with the money to pay for the ride. The drive covered the slot so he couldn't put his money in. His hand was shaking. He pleaded with the bus driver telling him it was cold outside but the driver kept telling him to get off.
It looks like this was shot with a cell phone and it should make us wonder how many other times this happens without a camera capturing all of it.

The parents of a severely injured Iraq war veteran pleaded guilty to stealing from their son.
Michael and Lori Nault were then sentenced for the felony charge after admitting to gambling away at least $53,000 that belonged to Shane Nault.
On Tuesday, Eau Claire County Judge Lisa Stark sentenced Michael Nault to seven months in jail, two of which can be converted to community service. Lori Nault, who is Shane's primary caregiver, will do 400 hours community service in lieu of five months in jail. Both were also sentenced to three years of probation.
“I would like to take this time to apologize for everything we did wrong,” Michael Nault said in court, choking up at times. “We love our son, Your Honor, and we're sorry for what we've done and we ask that someday the community be able to forgive us.”
Michael Nault apologized to Shane, his fellow veterans and the community.

Maine's family files suit over 12-13 shots by Baltimore police
Slain Marine's Family Sues Baltimore, Officer
Officer Charged With Killing Tyrone Brown
BALTIMORE -- Relatives of an unarmed man shot to death by a Baltimore police officer last summer have filed a multimillion-dollar wrongful death lawsuit.
Police Officer Gahiji Tshamba has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Tyrone Brown, who was killed outside of the Eden Lounge in Mount Vernon on June 5.
The lawsuit named Tshamba, as well as his supervisors, police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld, Baltimore's mayor and City Council and the state of Maryland.
The lawsuit said Brown, who was with his sister and a friend, touched a female ahead of him in line while waiting to go inside the club. It said the woman expressed her displeasure, and that's when things began to escalate.
"Mr. Brown, who was home from Iraq, was trying to apologize and defuse the situation," said A. Dwight Pettit, the family's attorney. "The officer accosted him, identified himself as a Baltimore police officer, and shot at Mr. Brown approximately 12 or 13 times, killing him."
The lawsuit said Brown, 32, had his hands in the air and backed into an alley before Tshamba shot him at close range. It also said Brown's sister tried to intervene immediately before he was shot.

Palin refuses to accept responsibility for what she says
They named the title of this article wrong. It should have been "Palin refuses to accept responsibility for what she says." Palin claims people want to shut her up but has yet to point out one single person getting in the way of her putting her foot in her mouth. She has every right to say anything she wants but people are discovering they don't have to listen to her or agree with everything she says. It's time for her to understand that she is responsible for what words come out of her mouth and will be held accountable for what she says. No one gets a free pass for using their "free speech" rights. After all, she wanted to be the Vice President and would have been held accountable for every word just as VP Biden is but you don't see him whining that anyone is trying to stop him from talking.
Palin explains 'blood libel' comment
She accuses critics of negative spin; vows to keep speaking out
WASHINGTON — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, defending herself against criticism following the Tucson, Ariz., shootings, said Monday that she used the term "blood libel" to describe comments made by those who falsely tried to link conservatives to the assassination attempt against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Speaking out for the first time since she used the term in a video, Palin said on Fox's Sean Hannity show that the term referred to those "falsely accused of having blood on their hands."
Some Jewish groups strongly protested her use of the term, which historically was used to accuse Jews of using blood of Christians in religious rituals.
"Just two days before, an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal had that term in its title. And that term has been used for eons," said Palin, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2012.
"I think the critics again were using anything that they could gather out of that statement," she said. "You can spin up anything out of anybody's statements that are released and use them against the person who is making the statement."
Palin said the criticism won't stop her from speaking out and accusing Democrats of taking the country in the wrong direction.
"They can't make us sit down and shut up," she said.

Police mum about cause of John Wheeler’s death
Police mum about cause of Wheeler’s death
By Cris Barrish - The (Wilmington, Del.) News Journal
Posted : Monday Jan 17, 2011 8:15:20 EST
WILMINGTON, Del. — How was former Pentagon official John P. Wheeler III killed?
If police know, they aren't saying.
Two full weeks after Wheeler's body was spotted tumbling out of a trash hauler into a landfill here on New Year's Eve, police and the state Medical Examiner's Office remain uncharacteristically silent.
Though officials immediately labeled his death a "homicide," they have refused to provide the cause, nor will they say whether they're sure how Wheeler died.
Law enforcement's posture runs contrary to normal Delaware police procedure in homicide cases. Police agencies routinely say how a homicide victim died, even in cases where the crime occurred in a private home rather than a public place like a street shooting, and where no suspect has been arrested or identified.

Will new stress hotline work for Marines?
New stress hot line launched for Marines
January 17, 2011 8:35 PM
BY GUNNERY SGT. BILL LISBON - SPECIAL TO YUMA SUN
An anonymous “by Marine/for Marine” hot line was recently launched to help deal with various stress-related issues before they lead to serious Corps-crippling problems such as suicide, substance abuse and domestic violence.
Dubbed “DStress,” the service lets Marines seek assistance from “one of our own” to build skills necessary to cope with the widely varying challenges of life in the Corps and the inevitable stress of combat, according to a Marine Administrative Message released Monday.
Besides a toll-free hot line via telephone and Skype, Dstressline.com allows Marines to help themselves to information and resources. A live online chat feature is also expected to launch by the end of January.
“If this DStress line saves one Marine or one family member, then it is well worth it,” said Sgt. Maj. Michael S. Timmerman with the Marine Corps' Personal and Family Readiness Division.
The counselors on the other end of the line are veteran Marines, Navy corpsmen who've served in the Fleet Marine Force or civilian counselors specifically trained in Marine Corps culture, said Timmerman, who briefed air station leaders here on the program last month.
The hot line won't be a crutch or a way to escape personal responsibility, said Timmerman. Instead, counselors will help callers set goals to deal with the stress, provide resources or referrals and follow up to see how they are doing.
“We want this to be that personal,” said Timmerman.

Marine Sergeant Chase Love's Family Mourns After Murdered In Baltimore
Family Mourns Marine Murdered In Baltimore
January 17, 2011 6:31 PM
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The family of a Marine is still struggling to come to terms with his murder at a club in Baltimore, just days before he was heading to Afghanistan. His sister spoke to Mike Hellgren just days after police arrested a teenager and charged him with the brutal crime.
Marine Sergeant Chase Love worked in some of the most dangerous combat zones in the world in Iraq and Afghanistan. His family never imagined he would die at a hookah lounge during his first visit to Baltimore with friends.
Police say 18-year-old Ronald Johnson shot him over and over again during an argument, before fleeing and leaving Love to die on the sidewalk.
For the first time, Love’s sister is speaking about the crime from her home near New Orleans.
“I think this would have been his third time going to Afghanistan and he always came home scot-free, untouched, never hurt. I just couldn’t even compose myself. I just couldn’t believe it,” said Keoka Love. “I really thought I was living a dream.”
