Look at that picture and imagine the dead 12yo in Cleveland.

The Ducks face Arizona next Saturday for the Pac 12 championship.

Auburn is currently leading Alabama by 2 points. Hang on, Auburn. Defeat 'Bama. Keep the SEC out of the national championship play-offs.

Just read it.

But underlying that optimism is a grim reality: No matter the outcome of the talks, experts caution, it probably will not be enough to stave off the increasingly significant, near-term impact of global warming.

But while scientists and climate-policy experts welcome the new momentum ahead of the Lima talks, they warn that it now may be impossible to prevent the temperature of the planet's atmosphere from rising by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. According to a large body of scientific research, that is the tipping point at which the world will be locked into a near-term future of drought, food and water shortages, melting ice sheets, shrinking glaciers, rising sea levels and widespread flooding -- events that could harm the world's population and economy.

I am checking into the hospital Tuesday and won't be coming out. I haven't told many people about this, but I was diagnosed three months ago with terminal pancreatic cancer and will be completely incapacitated very soon and will pass away ... Going out on my terms with a big happy smile on my face - so no crying, ok?

Silly him, I am in tears.

He was not just our fellow editor and web designer, he was a good friend who was caring, passionate and compassionate and with a strong sense of justice. He will be deeply missed.

I've missed his voice this last year. Now it is silenced forever.

1.  Mike Brown robbed the store of the cigarillos
   
2. Dorian Johnson added Brown both during and after the time in the store.
   
3. Brown died in a failed attack on the officer attempting arrest.

Interesting that the time of the occurrance that led to Mike Brown's death is listed on his death certificate as 12:04.  

However the shooting occurred much earlier ending at 12:02:14 and that is verified by the Glide audio recording.

As confirmation Ferguson police dispatch identifies another unit arriving on the scene just 8 seconds after the shooting ends at 12:02:22.

Timeline

There's Always Wingnut Welfare
I imagine he'll do very well..for a little while, at least.

Totally fascinating and so well done.   I've always liked the Foo Fighters but never been a fan.   Now I love Dave Grohl.

Who new he could direct great documentaries?

Each one stands on its own and the interviews and Music make it special.   My favorite was Nashville because I lived so long there and was enveloped by music while living there and he did such a great job of capturing the history of why Nashville is home to great songwriters.

"Wilson has told authorities that he called 'Shots fired, send all cars' on his radio, but during the struggle his radio had been jarred and the channel changed."

So this call should be found somewhere on some other channel but the Post says:

"The Post-Dispatch reviewed radio calls made during that period on all St. Louis County police channels, the fire channel used by Ferguson and other channels publicly archived online and could not locate the call."

The GJ Report on Radio Traffic agrees. The call is nonexistent.

The Report does however list him calling  "Put me on Canfield with two, and send me another car".

But the Report leaves off the time of that call and all calls.  For those times we have to go back to the Post which lists that call as taking place at 12:02 -- about a minute after he began his interaction with the jaywalkers and just before he ran after Brown.

Unit 24 was the first one on the scene at 12:02:22 but in response to a 911 call prior to 12:02 -- not in response to Wilson's call.

Vol. 2 page 144 19-25
Q Were there any droppings between the officer's car and the body?
A What type of droppings? Blood  droppings?
A No.
Q (Ms. Alizadeh (Asst Pros. Atty.) There wasn't?
Continues to page 145 Line 1-12
A No. I walked from my crime scene van to where the body was that day no less than 50 times, Along with the other 3 detectives ...and no one saw any, no one noticed any, we looked, nothing was ever found between the officer's car and where Michael Brown was.
Q What's the distance between the police car, the officer's car and the body, do you know?
A 153 feet and 9 inches.

Alizadeh does not pursue this further. Wonder why?

Also noteworthy, Alizadeh on page 146 she begins discussing DW's gun Line 6
Q His weapon was seized and we will hear testimony from by other officers, you were told that his weapon was seized and that it was checked...
Alizadeh leaves the impression that DW's gun is secure as evidence.

Apparent blood was cleaned from the firearm before analysis. The firearm is in otherwise normal firing condition.

Crime lab firearm

I'm sure the CSIs were diligent here in checking the weapon first for Brown's fingerprints in that blood or any other of his DNA and found none before they subsequently wiped the weapon clean to fire it.

No Brown fingerprints at all in that blood on that gun that Wilson said he had his hand all over.

"We have passed the phase of traditional honor killings," said Gulsum Kav, a medical ethics doctor in Istanbul who founded We Will Stop Women Murders. "Now we are facing modern murder. Women want a divorce, and the families aren't adjusted to it."

Local police said the girls were gang-raped and murdered. The five men were arrested and later released on bail.

The federal agency took over the probe following public outrage over the deaths of the two cousins, who were about 14 years of age. They were the daughters of two brothers.

"The CBI has come to the conclusion that the allegations of sexual assault and murder were false. It was a case of suicide," Prasad said.

There really should be more WD fans here.  There is a reason it's the number one TV show in the country.

But it upper 60s back on Tuesday!
