New England is bracing for a possibly record-setting winter storm on Friday, with up to two feet of snow expected and airlines canceling thousands of flights. The system – Winter Storm Nemo – was blowing in from the Midwest where it began dropping snow on the Chicago area on Thursday afternoon. It was due to bring light snow to the Northeastern United States on Friday morning before ramping up to blizzard conditions by afternoon and evening. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino closed schools on Friday and urged businesses to consider allowing staff to stay home, to reduce the risk of getting stranded. “We are hardy New Englanders, let me tell you, and used to these types of storms. But I also want to remind everyone to use common sense,” he said. “Basically, stay home. Stay put after noontime tomorrow.” City officials up and down the northeastern United States were bracing for the snow storm, readying fleets of plows and salt trucks to keep streets clear. Airport officials advised travelers to try to reschedule flights. The National Weather Service said Boston could get 18-24 inches of snow on Friday and Saturday, its first heavy snowfall in almost two years. All or most of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire could all see 18-24 inches as well, with locally higher amounts possible. New York City could receive at least a foot of snow. Light snow is expected to begin falling around 7 a.m. on Friday, with heavier snow and winds gusting as high as 60-75 miles per hour as the day progresses. “It’s the afternoon rush-hour time frame into the evening and overnight when the height of the storm will be,” said Kim Buttrick of the National Weather Service. Airlines have already nixed more than 2,200 flights planned for Friday, with the largest number of cancelations at airports in New York, Chicago and Boston. Be safe, people.

Three prison inmates were assigned to clean up a park near the Yacolt, Wash., minimum security correctional facility where they’re incarcerated last week. They ended up saving three young lives. During their work-release community service, Nelson Pettis, 37, Larry Bohn, 29, and Jon Fowler, 29, heard children’s screams coming from a nearby creek. Rushing to the water’s edge, the prisoners saw three young boys struggling to keep their heads above water. The children’s small canoe had capsized. The boys struggled to stay above water in the cold, 25-mph current rushing towards the Washington River, and the inmates knew they were in trouble. “It was raging pretty fast,” Pettis told KPTV news. “They were really scared.” He and Bohn didn’t think twice, leaping into the water to grab the boys, later identified as brothers ages 8, 10 and 16, and carrying them to a small island. There, they awaited emergency rescue. “They kept telling us, ‘Thank you, thank you,'” Bohn told reporters, adding that the three kids were “really scared” but very grateful and will be alright. “I think we did something that any good person would do. You see three helpless kids in a river, you help. That’s what you do,” said Fowler. “Just cause we’re incarcerated, doesn’t mean we’re bad people. We made some bad choices in our lives, but we’re still, we’re just like everybody else.” “We’re just paying our debt for what we did wrong.”

Who’s bright fawkin’ idea was THIS?!?! Atlanta Fulton County Jail Uses Inmates To Test New Locks Jailers in Atlanta have a challenge for inmates: Get past the new locks being tested on cell doors and win free food. Officials have been trying to figure out what to do about hundreds of locks which can be jammed at the Fulton County Jail, allowing inmates to get to each other. Adger says jailers are choosing experienced lock beaters, to try to beat the new locks. County Commissioner Tom Lowe has said the lock issue has been blown out of proportion, but others say it puts inmates at risk of being attacked by other prisoners. Ya THINK?!?! There had to have been a better way to run tests than this. Image via Shutterstock Source

Please read the original press release contained in the following first link below that lists the prisoners demands. The notorious Georgia Prison System has once again made the national news. Georgia is already noted for being second in the percentage of its residents confined to state prisons; second only to Texas. The violence towards the prisoners, the lack of action taken by guards when there is an altercation among prisoners, and the lack of access to basic health care, and the lengthy sentences imposed on Georgia citizens is nothing new. Historically, inmates would get three meals of 2500 calories Monday through Friday; and two meals on Saturday and Sunday. Less than two years ago the prison system stopped feeding its prisoners three meals on Fridays, and now they are talking about taking away one of their meals on Thursdays. Georgia citizens now fear for their health and wellness. While the authorities say that the inmates get 2500 calories in two meals or three meals, the inmates say that the portion sizes do not change. Hungry humans tend to be agitated, frustrated, and on edge. It has long been noted that if you keep people full they are less likely to cause problems. But if they don't cause problems then they might be released. If they are released, the prisons don't receive funding to house them. And, no, they don't use all the money allotted to care for each prisoner on the prisoner. The paperwork may show that but the reality is very different. Prison is big business and for profit.

In a softball interview with retired liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens on Sunday's 60 Minutes, correspondent Scott Pelley touted Stevens's opposition to the court ruling on the 2000 presidential election: “He thinks [Bush v. Gore] is one of the Court's greatest blunders….There were many people in this country who felt that the Supreme Court stole that election for President Bush.” Pelley introduced the segment by proclaiming that Stevens “has shaped more American history than any Supreme Court justice alive” and made “decisions that have changed our times.” The decisions Pelley focused on were the Justice's most liberal: “It was Stevens who forced a showdown with President Bush over the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and Stevens who tried to stop the court from deciding the presidential election of 2000.” read more
