FBI tries to prevent world war

This Wednesday, November 9th, at 2 pm Eastern Standard time, every TV broadcaster, cable channels, radio stations, and satellite radio program from Puerto Rico to Missouri to American Samoa will be distracted for 30 seconds by the federal Government. Don't panic

It was the first test of national emergency warning system (EAS), which hopes to provide key information immediately to all Americans in the event of national emergency. This national system will look and sound a lot like the current (and local) emergency warnings are often seen on TV or hear on the radio, but greater coverage and can be placed under the direct control of the President. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Weather Service (dir.) will all coordinate tes, but it is FEMA that actually sends the alert code.

But not to worry! Although such a warning message may seem terrifyingly real, they'll end up audio displays a message explaining that this is just a test. The Government is still concerned that a user, in particular, the possible error test for obvious signs. The FCC has produced a series of short commercials to inform people about the tests, and cable operators take warning people about it on their cable bill monthly (which everyone reading, right?).

So what's so special about 9 November at 2 pm? FEMA has the answer. "November 9th is near the end of the season before winter storms and severe weather season began in earnest," said the Agency, "2: 00 PM EST time broadcasting would minimize disruption during peak hours, while ensuring that the test occurred during the hours of work in the United States."

Salvation Army Bell ringer Tale

I've tried. I really have. It's just that with no snow and my disdain for mandatory public gift, I've been having a hard time getting into the spirit of the holidays. With the holiday less than two weeks away, I run the risk of missing the season only all together, that would be a shame.

People need to be a festive December. We need to romanticize this season with eggnog and Christmas carols and sipping hot chocolate night spent under a blanket next to a roaring fire because there was a warm and cozy about January. If I did find some Christmas cheer, I will soon be Sol until the spring.

With a mindset that is too dramatic, I started on Monday to try and do something that would put me in the spirit of the holiday. Ironically, I found myself outside a department store. In the General State of Affairs stood outside the Department store in December for two hours would have been my idea of punishment. But Monday afternoon I put on aprons crimson and swinging Bells for the Salvation Army.

I learned a few things on Monday. One, some, no matter how cold it is and has been for weeks, still do not know that You have to take the coat before heading out. Two, when you look at the ringing of bells for the Salvation Army wearing a Santa Hat You know that it brings the hat from the House. They do not provide You with a Santa hat.  Three is that I really didn't learn anything about the people again.

The realization that these three came to me after two hours of standing outside in addition to my collection of ringing a Bell and boiler, opening the door for approximately a hundred shoppers. I do not wish to collect a lot of money. I think some people will give you and the rest will avoid eye contact as much as I wish them "Happy Holiday" or "Merry Christmas" if they put on a sweater Christmas sign.

Judge Tosses DUI conviction for deaf men

Local lawyers are touting Thursday the dismissal of five-year-old DUI convictions in Benton County District Court as a victory for deaf people.

William d. Kral, 33, of Snoqualmie, a deaf, was arrested in December 2005 in Benton County on suspicion of DUI and driving with a suspended license, said attorney Spencer Moe Kennewick.

But when Kral was indicted, sign language interpreter is not available in the courtroom. When he signed a paper waiving the constitutional right to speedy trial, the interpreter explained to him that the document is eligible, Spencer said.

Kral guilty and serve a sentence of nine months, including three months in an alcohol treatment program. She paid more than $ 4,600 in fines.

In the next five years, Kral go through appeals and some court-appointed lawyer who he claims are ignored or mishandled cases of need to step aside because of the conflict.

Fighting crime with Digital DNA

DNA evidence that was widely accepted in the courtroom. And now, so our "Digital DNA"–they track zero and those that we leave it to your computer system, in our smartphones, under the hood of our cars and much more.

"Digital DNA evidence, new" Ira Victor, a forensic analyst with Data Clone Labs and a member of The High Tech crime investigators Association (HTCIA), told FoxNews.com.

Last week the GPS device was planted on a suspect vehicle. But that's just one aspect of a growing body of data: from digital photos to your mobile phone for email and Word documents, we all create a trail of law enforcement agencies are increasingly using to put criminals on the scene of their crimes.

Jeffrey "Skunk" Baxter, a founding member of Steely Dan (he plays guitar "Rikki, don't lose that number") and a member of The Doobie Brothers, also a contractor for a number of u.s. Government agencies and advisory terrorism, cyber-war and forensic analysis.

"I want to help You," Baxter to participants on Paraben's forensic innovations Conference (PFIC), a leading digital investigations Conference on in Utah wrapped November 9. It called for an increase in the use of digital forensics in the courtroom and cases.

MR. law: report child abuse

Elementary school cafeteria worker last year knew his daughter 6 years was abused sexually, but he ignored it. Another woman stood silent as his girlfriend whipped her three children with his belt.

The two women were arrested for Tennessee law requires anyone with knowledge of child abuse or sexual abuse to report it to authorities.

Sex abuse scandals at Penn State in which the staff of the University failed to inform the authorities about alleged football assistant coach who were sexually assaulted the boy has angered those who question why the witnesses and persons with knowledge of harassment are not criminally charged.

Tennessee, unlike Pennsylvania, is one of the 18 countries with laws that require people to report abuse of authority or the criminal penalties in the face. Although the penalty for failing to report abuses, often put to experiment with some of the parent class, the case can be felonies if Prosecutors found that the person not only fails to report information, but also helps the suspect cover it.

I think it might have been as extensive Tennessee of the Act with the people in the country as far as the mandate of anyone to report it, said Brian Holmgren, Davidson County Assistant Prosecutor who oversees cases of child abuse county s. He said Metro regularly demanding cases of failure to report.
