It’s unclear how the 32-year-old Torres Puello became involved with the Central Valley Baptist Church, or when he met the group’s controversial leader, Laura Silsby.

But his stepfather, Franco Cerminara, said his son had no intention of taking the children to the United States, but to a church in the Dominican Republic, where space had already been leased.

THIS

How did Franco Cerminara know space had already been leased in DR? I thought Puello just happen to call the family members & ask to represent the kidnappers.

Sean Lankford:

Jorge Puello first contacted relatives of the Americans by calling their church, Central Valley Baptist in Meridian, Idaho, after they were arrested on Jan. 29 trying to take 33 children out of Haiti.

“He helped us find the lawyer we have now. He helped us gather evidence. Before him, we really were having a hard time finding anyone at all” to represent the missionaries in neighboring Haiti, said Lankford.

Puello never asked for money for himself but “was going to help us to pay the other attorneys. He was the guy who was going to hand money to lawyers,” Lankford added in a phone interview Saturday.

THAT

Lying liars and the lies they tell!

PURE EVIL.

Measha Brueggergosman

Measha Brueggergosman (born Measha Gosman on June 28, 1977 in Fredericton, New Brunswick) is a Canadian soprano who performs both as an opera singer and concert artist. She has performed internationally and won numerous awards. Her recordings of both classical and popular music have also received awards.

She was born Measha Gosman to Anne Eatmon and Sterling Gosman of Fredericton, New Brunswick.[1] As a child, Gosman began singing in the choir of her local Baptist church. She studied voice and piano from the age of seven. As a teen, she took voice lessons in her home town, and spent summers on scholarships at the Boston Conservatory and at a choral camp in Rothesay, New Brunswick.[1] She studied for one year with New Brunswick soprano Wendy Nielson, before moving on to studies at the University of Toronto, where she obtained a B.Mus. She went to Germany for five years, where she pursued a Master's degree at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf, Germany.[1]

She married Markus Brügger, born in Switzerland. They first met in high school, when he was an exchange student in New Brunswick. When they married, they combined their last names to Brüggergosman (also spelled Brueggergosman).[1]

In 2007, Brueggergosman discovered her family's deep history in Canada and the United States. Her paternal 4xgreat-grandparents were John Gosman and his wife Rose, African Americans who escaped from slavery in the United States during the American Revolution by going to British lines.[2] John was from Connecticut and Rose from Rhode Island.[3] They probably met in New York, where they joined the British. The British gave freedom to American slaves who left rebel slaveholders and fought with them. Thousands of slaves took advantage of the war's chaos to escape.

After the war, the British arranged transport to Nova Scotia for nearly 3500 Black Loyalists from the former Thirteen Colonies. John and Rose Gosman, and their five-month-old daughter Fanny, born free in British lines, were recorded in the British embarkation record known as the Book of Negroes. They had passage in 1783 on one of the last ships to leave New York for Nova Scotia.[4] Measha's 4xgreat-grandparents first lived in Shelburne, but later settled in Fredericton. Brueggergosman learned of her African-American roots on Who Do You Think You Are, a British-based program bought by the CBC. According to DNA genetic testing (which her brother participated in), it is likely their direct-line paternal African ancestors came from the Bassa people of Cameroon.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — The man providing legal advice to American church workers charged with trying to take children out of Haiti did jail time in the United States years before emerging as the key suspect in a child prostitution ring in El Salvador, according records and interviews.

The mother and stepfather of Jorge Anibal Torres Puello told The Miami Herald in an extensive interview Saturday the fugitive wanted by Salvadoran police was their son, who has been advising the church volunteers in the unfolding legal drama.

“That’s him,” a teary Ana Puello said from her modest home in the outskirts of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. “But those things they say about him, I doubt they’re true. … He told me, ’Mami, I swear I didn’t.’ He would never hurt a child.”

Though his wife was convicted in the case, Torres Puello left the country — wanted by Salvadoran police — before ending up in Haiti.

A self-styled lawyer with no law degree, Torres Puello has had other brushes with the law, including a charge in Miami in 1999 for possessing fake documents, records show. His bond was later revoked and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

The revelations represent another twist in the drama surrounding the church workers from Idaho, who have been jailed for trying to take 33 children from Haiti without permission after the earthquake ripped through Port-au-Prince on January 12.

It’s unclear how the 32-year-old Torres Puello became involved with the Central Valley Baptist Church, or when he met the group’s controversial leader, Laura Silsby.

But his stepfather, Franco Cerminara, said his son had no intention of taking the children to the United States, but to a church in the Dominican Republic, where space had already been leased.

Cerminara added that he went with his son to take food and medication to the jailed church workers. Torres Puello could not be reached Saturday for comment.

For the past 10 days, Torres Puello has been a visible figure in the church case, granting interviews with reporters about his role as legal adviser to the group. But little was known about his background until Friday, when Salvadoran police announced an investigation into whether Torres Puello was the same suspect who led the notorious trafficking ring.

Using photographs and fingerprints, police say they are close to confirming Torres Puello is the same suspect wanted since last year for leading a large network that recruited children for prostitution in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador.

In the interview with The Herald, Torres Puello’s mother confirmed that her son’s wife — Ana Josefa Galvarina Ramirez Orellana — was already convicted in the case and remains in jail in San Salvador.

Police broke the ring last year after three children, 14, 15 and 16, escaped from a house in El Salvador and went to the police to report they had been forced to pose naked to promote the enterprise.

Jesus, Son-of-the-living-God,

Make him pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday the Fridays news dump brought some BIG news! For a long time now, factory dairy farms have been able to pass themselves off as “organic” through a loophole in the organic standards. The animals had to have “access” to the outdoors, but they didn't have to actually go outside or graze on grass. This meant that the REAL organic dairy farmers were at a competitive disadvantage because factory dairy farms could produce milk more cheaply. And it harmed consumers, who were not getting the product they thought they were paying for. Dairy products from cows that graze on grass is healthier than dairy from cows fed only grain.

This all changed yesterday, with the publication of a new rule that requires organic dairy to come from cows that graze on grass! It goes into effect June 17 of this year. Details below… and even more details available on my blog

First of all, I should be clear that the grass-fed vs. grain-fed issue is not black and white. Cows evolved to eat grass but they can eat SOME grain without wrecking their health or the quality of their milk. A friend of mine compared it to humans eating sugar. Is sugar good for you? Not really. Can you eat some without getting sick? Sure. Should you eat an all-sugar diet? NO.

As far as I understand it, grain is high in calories so feeding cows grain increases milk production. Also, if you are letting your cows graze, you need to own a lot of land. Especially if you own a lot of cows. And there's more or less a limit of how big you can let your herd get when you let them graze on grass, because at a certain point, you'd need so much land for them to graze that the cows just literally couldn't walk back and forth to the milking parlor from the furthest parts of your land twice or three times a day.

As far as the Toyota thing goes, it is amazing to learn how Toyota has not only gamed the system but basically also had a different reporting system that terrified their dealers so that reports did not even get passed up the chain.

Yet instill the only reason we even have an investigation is because of StateFarm…they made NHTSA investigate because they were getting too many claims.

Toyota had hired those ex-NHTSA employees and they kept resolving cases in Toyota's favor.

This just goes to show that Toyota is just as prone to quality control issues as American auto makers…the difference is Ford/Gm/Chrysler never hired ex-NHTSA employees to suppress reports and they didn't force their dealers to lie either.

What baffles my mind is the kind of issues they were having with acceleration and now with this truck, where the drive shaft can crack and leave the car uncontrollable are really dangerous and likely to result in death. How they got away with calling these simply floor mat issues is beyond me.

I heard one man talking who had acceleation issues and was going 95mph on the freeway, he felt it was like he was in the Indy 500 and he ended up safe after a 20minute harrowing ride…when asked how he felt he said Lucky, but he would never buy another Toyota, cause he feels like he has used up all his luck.

but, when their shit came out…ALL their shit is coming out at once.

TAKOMA PARK, Md. – As back-to-back snowstorms shuttered schools for the week across the mid-Atlantic states, parents fretted about lost learning time, administrators scheduled makeup days and teachers posted assignments online. But Marla Caplon worried about a more fundamental problem: How would students eat?

The two snowstorms that pummeled the region, leaving more than 3 feet of snow in some areas, deprived tens of thousands of children from Virginia to Pennsylvania of the free or reduced-price school lunch that may be their only nutritious meal of the day. The nonprofits that try to meet the need when school is not in session also closed their doors for much of the week, leaving many families looking at bare cupboards. And many parents working hourly jobs were unable to earn any money during the week, as the snow forced businesses to close.

Caplon is a food services supervisor for Montgomery County Public Schools, where about 43,000 children are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. Some also get breakfast, dinner and bags of staple foods to take home for the weekend. The snow days meant children would get none of that until Tuesday, because schools are closed Monday for Presidents Day.

“We've been bothered by this all week,” Caplon said.

So Caplon arranged for Manna Food Center, a local food bank whose board she chairs, to bring boxes of food Friday to two still-closed elementary schools. Officials used the school district's automated phone system to notify parents of the distribution.

Short on food
At Rolling Terrace Elementary School, a stream of people walked up to a Manna truck in the school's bus bay Friday. They filled plastic shopping bags with cans of soup, vegetables and beans, ground beef and Rice Krispy Treats.

“Everybody's at home, and everybody's eating,” said Jacquelyn Garcia, 39, who came to pick up food for her family of five. “I have nothing left in my house.”

Manna's effort brought out smiles and expressions of gratitude. But the approximately 200 families who came to pick up provisions represent just a fraction of the need in Montgomery County, let alone the entire snow-battered region.

I thought it was great.

BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) — A former Massachusetts police chief says there was no attempt to cover up a fatal shooting committed in 1986 by a University of Alabama in Huntsville professor currently accused of killing three colleagues at a faculty meeting.

Current Braintree, Mass., police Chief Paul Frazier says Amy Bishop shot her brother at their home and was held but a former police chief called officers and told them to release her. Frazier says Seth Bishop's shooting was logged as an accident but detailed records of it have disappeared.

Former police Chief John Polio says he didn't call officers to tell them to release Bishop. In his words, ''There's no coverup, no missing records.''

A university spokesman says Bishop had been denied tenure before she was held Friday in a campus shooting.

As Bishop was being taken to jail she said: ''It didn't happen. There's no way.''

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) — A University of Alabama professor accused of fatally shooting three colleagues at a faculty meeting this week shot her younger brother dead at their home in the Boston suburbs more than 20 years ago, but records of it are missing, police said Saturday.

Amy Bishop shot her brother in the chest in 1986, Braintree police Chief Paul Frazier said at a news conference. She fired at least three shots, hitting her brother once and hitting her bedroom wall, before police took her into custody at gunpoint, he said.

Before Bishop could be booked, the police chief back then told officers to release her to her mother, Frazier said.

The shooting of the brother, Seth Bishop, was logged as an accident, but detailed records of the shooting have disappeared, he said.

''The report's gone, removed from the files,'' he said.

He said people who worked for the police department then remember the shooting and he planned to meet with the district attorney over the possibility of launching a criminal investigation into the report's disappearance.

A University spokesman said Bishop, 42, had been denied tenure before she was held Friday in a shooting at the Huntsville campus.

As Bishop was being taken to jail in handcuffs she said: ''It didn't happen. There's no way.''

Attempts by The Associated Press to track down addresses and phone numbers for the previous police chief and Bishop's family in the Braintree area weren't immediately successful Saturday.

(This version CORRECTS full name of school is University of Alabama in Huntsville, not University of Alabama.)

Did we get that: she murdered her brother…in 1986…and the records cannot be found. So, it ain't just about ALABAMA.

Memo to all of those in the Democratic Party and the television punditocracy that think that President Obama and the Democrats have to have common cause with the GOP in order to claw their way back from potential electoral armageddon:

One of the most respected thinkers on the GOP side made it clear this week that the Republican Party is simply better off refusing to work with the Democrats, nor should they be offering policy alternatives of their own.

Rather, they should embrace the Party of No label:

[Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour] believes that, given the policies being pushed by the Democrats, his party should embrace the mantle of opposition. Because Barbour chairs the Republican Governors Association, his advice is likely to carry considerable weight as his party heads into the midterm elections.

In an interview with National Journal, Barbour warned fellow Republicans not to fall into a trap that they managed to avoid in 1994: turning the midterm election into a choice between parties rather than a referendum on the party in control.

Some Republican leaders are suggesting otherwise. As Reid Wilson notes in his piece, House Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) has proposed an “80/20″ split between attacking Democratic initiatives (that would be the 80%) and providing policy prescriptions of their own (that would be the 20%).

If it seems a little sad that the GOP would spend only one-fifth of their energy in these trying times offering ways to solve the myriad of problems facing America, you will be heartened to hear that Haley Barbour actually thinks that is a mistake.
