State of Nevada vs Karen Lekas

Nevada's Attorney General Shoots Herself in the Foot!

Or at least her people did and her foot was in her mouth at the time...

  • State Drops Felony Charges Against Lekas
  • State Downgrades Case to "Misdemeanor"
  • State Offers Immoral and Unconscienable "Plea Bargain" Arrangement
  • State AG says Lekas must plead guilty to Misdemeanor charge of leaving minor with known alcoholic.
  • Problem: the alleged "alcoholic" was her husband, he wasn't drunk and the child was not Lekas', but rather, her husband's.
  • If Lekas' husband wasn't guilty and isn't facing charges, how is it that Karen Lekas is? Explain that one Honorable Catherine Cortez Masto...
  • Lekas says she will not accept such a plea!
  • Don't you bungle this one, Nevada State Attorney General Cortez Masto! Don't be like Washoe County D.A. "Dick" Gammick! <g>

~~~~~~~~~~

Silver State News Service Editor Mark S. "Bear" Daniels has just received word that the Attorney General of the State of Nevada has down-graded charges against Karen Lekas from Felony to Misdemeanor, in an attempt to maneuver Lekas into a Plea Bargain arrangement on a lessor charge.

According to our source, Mrs. Lekas will not plead.

The Attorney General has shot herself in the foot tonight by utilizing this immoral "plea bargain" conduct in that, if the AG does not have Felony charges against Mrs. Lekas and must back off in such a manner from this case, then they have no charges at all, whatsoever.

Why is our elected Law Enforcement system requiring the innocent to plead Guilty when they are anything but, in order to save the heads of those who persecute and cost the Taxpayer money when they are CAUGHT !!??

Is THAT what WE elected THEM for !!??

The Attorney General apparently wants Mrs. Lekas to plead on a lessor, Misdemeanor charge, of leaving a minor with an individual who is a known alcoholic. Here's the problem:

The alleged "known alcoholic" wasn't legally intoxicated at the time and blew a .002 on his alcohol test at the hospital ~ this at the time of the incident.

And, we must add, that the child is his, not Mrs. Lekas' ! How is it that Mrs. Lekas is responsible moreso than her husband AND her husband did nothing wrong!?

Quite the double standard women seem to have for other women, eh, Ms. Cortez Masto !?

How the Attorney General can justify what she and her Office are doing in this case and with immoral, unconscienable offers such as these, is beyond us here at Silver State News, so we have but this one piece of advice for the Attorney General:

DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST MRS. LEKAS AND CUT YOUR LOSSES AT THIS TIME, AS WELL AS THOSE ABOUT TO BE SUFFERED BY THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THE TAXES AND THEREFORE, THE BILLS AND YOUR PAYCHECKS!

Enough is enough, Honorable Catherine Cortez Masto, Attorney General for the State of Nevada! You know you have a bad case ~ drop it all together and let Washoe County and the morons running Social Services and CPS deal with the Civil Rights lawsuits that are coming!

Why should the Taxpayers of the State of Nevada have to foot the bill for any further intrigues going on behind the scenes of Washoe County and Nevada State Law ~ which county is charged with upholding ~ for those who are unworthy of their positions of power and whom are known to have "fouled up" the investigation of Mrs. Lekas, to include the office of District Attorney Richard Gammick and Kevin Schiller, Director of Social Services in Washoe County!

Let's get rid of those bums and their irresponsible "little friends" and save Washoe County, as well as the State of Nevada, future losses at the hands of the criminally incompetent and morally destitute in the Washoe County District Attorney's Office and Social Services/CPS.

Enough of the Nazi Gestapo tactics! Let's finally procure that "kinder and gentler" Government and CPS that President George Herbert Walker Bush once spoke of in his "Thousand Points of Light" messages!

STOP PERSECUTING KAREN LEKAS AND HER FAMILY !!!

STOP PERSECUTING HER YOUNGER CHILDREN IN PARTICULAR !!!

Drop the charges altogether, for as you well know, you should!

Do the right thing! Proclaim Karen Leaks' innocence and prosecute those responsible for this year-old persecution of this innocent Mother and Family Matriarch!

If you had a case in the first place, you would not have dropped the Felony charges! You would not be attempting to avoid a trial before an obviously honest Judge and the Jury he would impanel. You would not be attempting to hand this matter down to an inferior Court in hopes of railroading Mrs. Lekas to avoid the lawsuits that Washoe County deserves!

There is a time for Justice...

...this is it !!!

Karen Lekas will not plead to a crime that she did not commit!

How will you plead when confronted by the charges that can be filed against you if you continue along this path, Ms. Cortez Masto?

Are you truly "Honorable" at all!?

If the answer is yes, time to drop the charges. The Plea Bargain is worthless. Lekas is "Not Guilty," her husband was not legally intoxicated and doctors tests prove that, and the child is her husband's, not hers. How can you propose such an immoral and unconscienable solution and cheat Karen Lekas out of her Justice in the process!!?? To say that Karen Lekas is "Guilty" for leaving her husband's child with him when he wasn't intoxicated is TRULY a crime!!! We are even informed, believe and thereon report, that he has no DWI's, no job loss from drinking, never in rehab...

Karen's husband isn't a criminal but she is because of his alleged drinking and she must pay for it!? Is that how "Nevada Justice" works!?

Lynch mobs are just soooo much damned easier! <g> And cost less, too! <ggg>

Oh, Honorable Catherine Cortez Masto: what is it that you're in Office to protect The People from but "crimes?" And when it comes to criminals, where do The People look first to find them, other than their own Government!?

DROP THE CHARGES!

LEKAS IS INNOCENT!!!

Time to stop traveling down immoral roads, Honorable Catherine Cortez Masto. Time to put Washoe County and the State of Nevada on the righteous path.

~ Ed.

Stay tuned to Silver State News Service as there is much more yet to come in this case...




The Power & Control Wheel of Domestic Abuse

Look this document over very carefully.

If the conduct of your "significant other" (a.k.a. spouse, boyfriend, partner, etc.) fits any of the categories on this wheel, then its you and possibly your children suffering from "Domestic Abuse."

The Power & Control Wheel describes different forms of conduct that are unacceptable to our Society in terms of intimate human relationships, including marriage, courtship, so-called "friendship" and family.

Don't tolerate this conduct, not for one minute, let alone, your lifetime.

If you live in the Reno area, Shelters from Domestic Abuse exist here, including CAAW.

There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven...

...A time to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.

...A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.

...A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

...A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing.

...A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.

...A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; A time to be silent, and a time to speak.

...A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace.

What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils? I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves. He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one's lifetime; moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor, it is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him. That which is has been already, and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.

City of Reno vs Daniels (Obstruction/Resistance)

A Time For Justice

Fighting the Lies and Omissions

by Mark S. "Bear" Daniels

And so, the march to Justice continues...

Day 2 of my being In Pro Per and a quick and interesting receipt of Discovery documents from the City Attorney's Office.

Easy to see why they want the Editor's fanny in the hoosecow (jail). The documents prepared by the two Officers, now identified to this Defendant for the first time as Reno P.D. Officers Scott Johnson, Badge # R7419, and Michael Guider, Badge # 5577, are so chocked full of lies and omissions, along with the lies and omissions in the statement of Jena Drew, Washoe County Child Protective Services, that they essentially contradict each other, their own statements and even admit to violations of this Editor's Civil Rights.

I cannot believe my LUCK !!! <g>Truly shows you readers the old adage of how lies have a way of snowballing and coming back to clobber you! <ggg>

Federal Civil Rights Criminal Complaints and Civil Lawsuits will be filed. Work will get underway this weekend now that I finally know whom it was that beat me up and what their lies are, via Discovery. Much more Discovery to occur and Subpoenas will be in preparation by Tuesday with service intended on approximately 50 people by the end of the week.

The documents are below. Those that know me also know whether or not the Police Officers statements are an accurate reflection of my conduct in the past and recent past (i.e., June 19, 2009). Even their fellow Officers will know these men as liars and I'm a Happy Camper this night! <G>

I will rebut the documents later...I want everyone to digest what it is they see here now, from the Officers' Point of View, as well as Jena Drew's. I want these three to have a window of believability with you, before I show what liars the three are.

By the way, we have a new name for Child Protective Services (CPS) tonight. I'm stealing this from a friend-of-a-friend and leaving her identity out of this to avoid retaliations against her by Reno P.D. and CPS. Wait for it...

"Baby REPO!"

I'm loving this case more and more, so watchout!

DA BEAR is on the loose and ready to bring down corruption in Washoe County. I even think I have a sympathetic ear with the Courts, because I know I have one with local area officials who are sick to death of CPS and their "Untouchable" attitudes.

Audit coming soon...they can definitely be "touched" and I hope the hell they don't like it! <grr> Their own Laws and Lawmakers will be the ones doing the touching!

Yeah, like I'm going to attack armed Police Officers with a cane!

Do take note of the fact that I still have my cane and no charge of assault with a deadly weapon has been filed, though I'm sure they'll correct one of those two mistakes rather quickly by adding a charge.

My cane(s) are made of metal, not wood. If used to strike someone in the head, they are considered deadly weapons. If they're used in any form of assault, they are deadly weapons. You can crack a man's skull open with them.

That's NOT what canes are for!

As for lying, that's NOT what COPS are for!

Nor "caring Social Workers!"

A Time For Justice

Fighting the Two-Front War

by Mark S. "Bear" Daniels

And so, the march to Justice continues...

We met in Court today with Judge Paul Hickman considering the question of whether or not I should be allowed to represent myself, which is my Civil Right, as pointed out by Public Defender Keith Loomis, a very nice man and an Attorney respected by the Court.

I told the Judge that I have no issues with Loomis, just that I feel I can represent my own opinion better than anyone else. The Judge did not appear to "want" to allow me to represent myself "In Pro Per," but Loomis himself had no objection and cited my right to represent myself.

The Judge granted the motion and Mr. Loomis wished me well, then stepped away.

Truly, a decent man, Loomis had others that needed him more and went to their aid. Which is how it should be.

The Judge asked me how many days I needed to prepare. I asked for 90, citing the lost time because of the confusion over In Pro Per or Public Defender representation. I was given 45 and thanked the Judge just the same. I sense the shorter time can be extended by the Judge with good cause, while keeping me on my toes and the case progressing forward during the shorter time frame. The shorter time will give me a greater sense of urgency, but I know that it will not be enough with subpoenas, depositions, briefs, points and authorities and the like, to be filed.

Just the same, an Attorney is standing by just in case my health fails me again as it appears of being on the threshold of doing. Failing.

The City Attorney had no objections and absolutely wanted to make the point that they were seeking 180 days (six months) straight jail time. Alison Ormass, Deputy City Attorney, seems to have a problem with people defending their Civil Rights from attack by the Reno Police Department.

So, the question becomes, if I'm in the right ~ as I know I am ~ what shall the punishment be for the City of Reno and County of Washoe, as both are involved in this very serious, Fourth Amendment search and seizure violation.

As I informed the Court today, Exigent circumstances were not in existance at the time the Police burst in. A demand was made for Search Warrant and/or Court Order. I will begin Discovery proceedings tomorrow and only got a brief look at the "other" paperwork refused me by the Reno P.D. when I went to their offices to obtain Discovery after arraignment. This is twice that Reno P.D. have refused to provide a complete set of documentation.

I will merely include that minor fact in the Federal Civil Rights lawsuit I plan against the City of Reno and the Reno P.D. in particular.

While I hate corruption and I hate corrupt cops, we're talking two cops belonging to Reno P.D., along with one other who appears to have purjured himself during my earlier RARA-oriented case from June, 2009. Otherwise, I cannot find myself hating the Reno P.D. as a whole, and had such a fine example at my door the other day ~ to aid with the search for a missing person (located safely by Reno P.D.) ~ that examples such as "him" give me hope and optimism for that entire Department.

I do not like punishing the group for the actions of one or two individuals, but sometimes it's unavoidable, especially considering whether Management has a low tolerance for misconduct by their own officers, or aids and abets it by turning their heads the other way or through outright support of Police misconduct, which is unfortunately, the history of the Reno P.D. within its ranks, and as directed towards the Press, among potential others.

The false arrests, malicious prosecution, "threats made against...," unlawful seizure of evidence, destruction of the same, and fraudulent conviction of two Reno-Gazette Journal news reporters by the Reno P.D. and Reno Municipal Courts, still stands out in my mind from the Hot August Nights Riot of 1998. That, along with the conduct of former Deputy Police Chief Tom Robinson, in lying over issues as to why Reno P.D. passed over an African-American officer for promotion, not to mention, his conflicts of interest with the Reno Air Racing Association as its former Security Chief ~ the one who had me arrested in 2004 (first of two arrests to date).

Such is the history of the Reno P.D. All their good officers' reputations suffering from the misconduct of a mere few, to include in Management.

This Home Invasion Attack was not a Press issue by the Reno P.D.; the issue existed with Washoe County CPS. Highly doubtful that those two Officers knew they were being used in a CPS attack on this Editor for his publishing against that criminal, RICO (Racketeering Influenced & Corrupt Organization) operation, which is involved in Human Trafficking. So, for their misconduct, at least the Reno P.D. will be facing separate charges in the end and not tied into to any "appearance" of a conspiracy. As I stated to Reno P.D. Internal Affairs, I am so certain these two men had no idea as to myself or my publication's existance until December 8, 2009, that there was "no way" they could be part of a conspiracy.

Of course, we will keep our eyes out during Discovery and while going through statements and evidence, once Discovery begins starting today, January 15, 2010, but it's highly unlikely that the two officers had any clue from a lying CPS worker as to whom I was and what CPS' intent was in conducting an attack on my home and my family on December 8, 2009.

And as it was, CPS had been lied to by the complainant. Now, Reno P.D.'s two officers are lying about their conduct and that of mine on December 8, 2010.

The City Attorney's Office has gone into auto-cover-up, "protect our own" mode, which is not all that surprising, but nonetheless frustrating, since the best interests of justice are not served by this one-sided, wave the flag, "My country right or wrong...," "Support Your Local Police" mode, particularly when the cops are in the wrong for beating on a 53-year-old Disabled Veterans, then lying about what they did.

Of course, the only proper response is now for the City Attorney to cover up the lying and punish that Disabled Veteran by throwing him into jail for six months, for daring to dissent with and stand up to Police misconduct. For daring to defend his home, his family and the Fourth Amendment, by refusing access to Police officers who had no search warrant and no court order to proceed...

...for daring to say "No" to those attempting to undermine the Fourth Amendment with improper and unlawful application of the "Exigent" or "Emergency Circumstances" rules that apply as the only "Exception to the Rule" of the Fourth Amendment, wherein the word "Immediate" takes on the most important meaning when it comes to interpreting one's Law Enforcement responsibility NOT to violate a citizen's Civil Rights.

By my remarks today in Court, the Judge indicated that I may have incriminated myself during the hearing, something he feared in regards to In Pro Per representation. All I could tell him was that I understand, or words to that effect.

Just the same, I was cut off when mentioning that it was they who burst into my home and attacked me, not vice versa, and of course, the officers have already incriminated themselves in their statements with illogical remarks about what they claim occurred. No regard for the witnesses, either.

And who brings a cane to a gunfight with the cops?

Who, at 53 years of age, attacks two, younger, more physically fit men, whom possess sidearms, shotguns, tasers, batons, maglights, K-9 units, tear gas, and unlimited back-up possessing the very same "implements of destruction," as Arlo Guthrie once put it ("Alice's Restaurant"), with a cane?

Double-edged sword in the end...

And to think I was impressed with the Deputy City Attorney outside the courtroom and her genial treatment of those appearing for Court.

Discovery first, FBI complaints to follow, as will be submitted through Congressman Heller's office to the main FBI Office in Washington, D.C.

So, how are the City of Reno, the County of Washoe, the Reno P.D. and now, the Reno City Attorney's Office to "pay" for their crimes considering they want jail time for me?

Two words: "In spades..."

Stay tuned to Silver State News for more information on this subject.

Also, please note below that the case involving the June 19th, 2009, arrest of this Editor is not quite over just yet, nor will it be should Judge Connie J. Steinheimer approve the City Attorney's Motion to Dismiss. There are issues with the transcript preparation due to the transcriptionist's service being backlogged, if not overwhelmed, before, during and after the holiday season.

I'll be talking with the docs down at the V.A. trying to get my health back in order. That's because I'm preparing for a major Civil Rights fight against the City of Reno, Washoe County, Reno P.D., Washoe County Social Services and CPS, to include a Slander and Libel lawsuit.

I intend to be in better form than I have been since December 8th, 2009, as the fight I've been looking for since returning to reporting has finally arrived on my doorstep. And I'm pissed...

I'm also curious as to when City Attorney John Kadlic comes up for re-election. He and his people have a sworn oath to uphold and defend the Laws and Constitution of the United States.

I don't see any of them doing that under his direction at this point in time. Seems the City Attorney's Office may need new leadership. And personally speaking, I'm tired of that group using this Disabled Veteran to wipe their collective A$$ with.

An issue which lends itself back to my being pissed!

FEED THE BIRDS

(from Mary Poppins)

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes.
In her own special way to the people she calls,
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.
Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do.
Their young ones are hungry,
Their nests are so bare;

All it takes is tuppence from you."
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
While overhead, her birds fill the skies.
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares.

Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares.
Though her words are simple and few,
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."

Emily Smith's Libelous, Poisonous Pen

An "Over the Transom" delivery today will equate to a Civil Suit against Emily Smith, in her professional capacity and as an individual, along with Washoe County Social Services and CPS, not to mention ~ Washoe County itself ~ for Libel, based on these "Poison Pen" letters sent to a prominent, local area Physician. We have two pages of e-mail exchanges from Mrs. Smith, who has been attempting to obstruct Silver State News Service in its attempts to investigate her, the Waffen County SS and CPS, for Human Trafficking in children, parents and the indigent.

Scans/Graphics: M. Daniels / ILIPS Group International


Daniels vs Washoe County, Washoe County Social Services and Child Protective Services

Emily Smith's Libelous, Poisonous Pen

Smith claims Daniels is unstable but provides no evidence; also claims that Daniels "Feeds Off (Preys on) women who have children in CPS custody."

We will be going to Court to shut down the Waffen County SS Propaganda Machine...

Smith about to cost the Taxpayers millions more following her personal persecution and Vendetta against Karen Lekas.

Whatever or Whomever is her source!? <g>

by Mark S. "Bear" Daniels

The scans above and below say it all, along with what was reportedly said in Court on January 4, 2010, and as to what was said, we are informed, believe and thereon allege, that Mrs. Emily Smith, of Washoe County Social Services and Child Protective Services (CPS), is responsible for both slander and libel directed against Silver State News Service Editor Mark S. "Bear" Daniels (Yours Truly! ~ Ed.) in statements made in writing (Libel, committed on December 23, 2009), with potentially slanderous statements being made in Court and elsewhere (we're still investigating) on January 4, 2010.

The written comments we've received are posted above and below. All charges except one (re: encouraging resistance) by Mrs. Smith are denied and filing of both a Libel and Slander suit should take place on or about February 3, 2010, once all the details have been gathered.

Ms. Smith's second entry is of particular interest, along with the fact that she's attempting to obtain Privacy Act protected information, as well as attempting to breach Doctor-Patient Confidentiality by going outside the Law in her dubious "research." This message, communicated on December 23, 2009, preceeded instructions from the Court on January 4, 2010, that Mrs. Smith and the unknown CPS Attorney present in Court, are to contact Mrs. Lekas through her Attorneys.

The sources for Mrs. Smith's information are at present, unknown, but if they exist and this is not merely fabrication, they can expect to have their fannies hauled into Court.

In sentence one of her main message, Mrs. Smith states that "I am having communications issues with Karen ~ she is not responding to my emails and not returning my calls."

As would be pointed out in Court later, Mrs. Lekas has not one, but two Attorneys (Lance White, Criminal Defense Attorney Ken Stover) on her case, and as a result of Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys, as established by the Nevada State Surpreme Court, Mrs. Smith and her Attorney must contact Mrs. Lekas through her Attorneys.

In sentence two, Mrs. Smith states that "I have offered to sit down with her (Lekas) and discuss the barriers the she is facing with (sic, "while" ~ Ed.) working with me ~ she has yet to respond."

We at SSNS are informed, believe and thereon report, that Mrs. Lekas wants nothing to do with Mrs. Smith, due to the latter's personal vendetta against her and furthermore, has provided no release of information since she is not required to. The Master of the Court also appears to be in error on this subject as Master Dreiling has indicated that she too, does not know the outcome or progress of such meetings and therefore, had nothing to Judge as to whether or not Mrs. Lekas' son Stetson, should be returned home. Again, there is no order requiring release of information, merely that Mrs. Lekas attend counseling.

In sentence three, Mrs. Smith makes the comment that "I am concerned about her lack of receptiveness to engage with me and am hoping that she is progressing in therapy." The Doctor answered "Karen is doing well and she is attending regularly," a generic and simple answer being all that he can provide by Law. Again, there is no consent given thus, this is all, by Law, the Doctor can respond with and did respond with before Smith pressed the matter with her subsequent, main response. Beyond that, Mrs. Lekas has informed Silver State News Service that she prefers to have no contact whatsoever with Mrs. Smith due to the latter's personal vendetta against Lekas and the fact that Smith lies, as she did in Court on January 4, 2010, by standing before a Master as an Officer of the Court, and telling the Master (Dreiling) that David (Mawhorter) Sharra had been in the home. According to Mrs. Lekas, not only had Sharra not been in the home because of threats made by CPS that if he entered the home, they would take her daughter (despite the fact they have no restraining order against Sharra; the previous one expired after thirty days, according to Mrs. Lekas...). Had he been in the home as Smith indicates, Smith might have had lawful opportunity to take Lekas' daughter, upon whom the prior restraining order's protections were granted.

That has not occurred. In the meantime, the threat though unlawful, might have imparted enough knowledge to justify once again wrenching Karen Lekas' daughter from her arms, as is what occurred several months ago. In that incident, the Judge (Shumacher) ordered the child returned to Mrs. Lekas and advised CPS not to ever again attempt to take the child from the home without first going through her, so traumatic was the incident to the child. Thus, Sharra has made a pact with his wife ~ whom was threatened by CPS to divorce him or lose her daughter, the former of which she did to avoid the latter ~ not to go near the home until these legal matters are all settled, and the earliest complete settlement will not occur until March 1, 2010, when Mrs. Lekas herself goes on trial over the false charges of giving alcohol to a minor.

Also, it is not the only incident of lying by Mrs. Smith, as our readers here at SSNS will soon see.

In sentence four, Smith steps on that which she does not anatomically posses, but steps down hard anyway, and basically screws Washoe County, Social Services and CPS in the process, if not the State of Nevada. Smith states that "Karen has befriended a man that is well-known to the Agency..." This reference, which is directed against this Editor (process of elimination simple ~ there are no other men beyond the Editor visiting Mrs. Lekas at her home and, as subsequent sentences will reveal...) is a bald-faced lie by Smith as no one in the Agency has made an effort to contact or interview me, other than the few questions asked regarding the cases of the Editor's daughter, and in that incident, CPS called in the Reno P.D. and two of their alleged Officers broke into the Editor's home and beat him up. In the second case, the Editor was called down to the Emergency Room in the incident where CPS workers attempted to take Cherish Lumos' 7-month-old daughter, which failed.

The only other case that CPS would be aware of involves the Kimberly Blackwood case, which this newspaper dropped as her conduct was not above board ~ though we may very well take that case up again in the near future, due to continued misconduct by Smith, her associates and CPS, among others ~ so all that Emily Smith can claim is an "awareness" of this Editor, but no in-depth knowledge as no questions of any detailed nature have otherwise been asked.

Smith goes on to say "he is not stable and often feeds off (a.k.a. "preys on") women with children in CPS Custody." That's the comment that nails her in Libel in two different ways. In speaking with a prominent physician here in the Reno area, Smith has no foundation for her "stability" comment that this Editor is aware of and "feeds off" is as far from the Truth as the Truth gets. In fact, literally speaking, this Editor has been providing meals and other assistance for which he does not charge, to the very women Smith is speaking off. The Editor provides sanctuary, in other words, as well as a sense of community, and is not running a business of doing this, nor is he preying on women. The Editor has had families stay with him for rest and comfort, provided meals ~ and protection for those in physical fear, to include specifically, a fear of Washoe County Social Services and CPS in particular (underlined for emphasis, not a link).

This Editor does these things without thought of reward and uses the opportunity provided by a sense of "community" to conduct candid interviews, along with question and answer periods, with the victims of Emily Smith, Kevin Schiller and others at Social Services and Child Protective Services, in general.

Basically, you have the criminal complaining that someone is protecting her victims. I believe the only other species on the planets that might do that are venemous in reality, not just in nature, the latter being the case with Mrs. Smith. Furthermore, you have an allusion to the crimes of "Fraud" and "Stalking," minimum. If you're that concerned, where are the charges against Editor Daniels!? Where are the Restraining and/or No Contact orders!?

That's some child "Protective" services that Washoe County has! <sound of chirping birds, croaking toads, all silenced in a heartbeat by a Mad Man laughing off in the distance!>

Mrs. Smith clearly deserves to be fired at this point. Between the complaints of Karen Lekas and now, this Editor, the State and County cannot afford such a person as a liability. Add to that, her false misrepresentations about Dave Sharra being in the Lekas home when a restraining order does not exist ~ only unlawful threats by Smith against Mrs. Lekas, and for that matter, further unlawful threats as a direct result, against Dave Sharra and Karen Lekas' children ~ deserves sanctions of a very large nature, to include contempt charges and jail time.

SSNS is informed, believes and thereon reports, that charges from other parties in the professional community will shortly be made against Mrs. Smith.

Mrs. Smith then goes on to drag Mrs. Lekas' son Stetson into the conversation, claiming that "Stetson is very concerned about their relationship and he feels that she is very bought into him."

Our response is simply that Stetson is caught in lies and misconduct, which have been reported by this newspaper and in defense of Mrs. Lekas, against the venemous vitriol put out by Smith and her fellow Nazi Waffen SS women at Washoe County CPS. Since there is nothing other than a News reporting relationship, which results in business for SSNS, then Stetson's concern must be for himself and the fact his whole scam is being reported.

Otherwise, why would Stetson want to remain in CPS Custody and not be at home with his Mother, where he can protect her from dubious sorts, and furthermore, rebuild his grades as his education has clearly faltered in CPS custody. Emily Smith stood in Court praising young Stetson for "barely passing" his courses, adding "but he is passing."

Stetson's grades prior to CPS taking him away from Mrs. Lekas were all "A's" (potential 4.0 marks) according to Mrs. Lekas and he was on the Honor List/Roll.

Now, Stetson is "barely passing," though he may receive high marks in the end for his proficiency at not working, being a burden on the Taxpayer, Beer Pong, Manipulating the System and excelling at the Art of the Free Ride.

This is what you Taxpayers have Mrs. Smith to "thank for:" the Tax Raises that are going to be necessary to cover not only Stetson, but every other child that ages out in the Washoe County Social Services/CPS system, because as I stated previously, there were last reported some 800+ children in those systems, up for adoption or taken from their parents, and Mrs. Smith is one of those running these fiascos, along with a bunch of women that are the modern day, female counterparts, of Hitler's "Master Race" SEE Song: "Der Furher's Face," for the "then" U.S. WWII opinion of the same. Washoe County and others across the United States seem to ~ "now" ~ be embracing Nazi Gestapo Tactics including Propaganda.

(Editor's observation and note: How many of my fellow veterans died trying to stop Hitler and the Nazis, along with their Master Race Propaganda campaign? (SEE WWII casualties [Warning ~ Graphic Images] at Wikipedia.Org) What was the point if our nation is now going to succombe to such practices as the Gestapo's and the Waffen SS!? Never Again? Never Forget? Remember...what? The Alamo? The Maine? Pearl Harbor? 9/11? Seriously? This country's own V.A. can't even remember their Veterans names... ~ Ed.)

Smith has plenty of incompetence, dereliction of duty and abuse, to cover up for. Especially after the January 4th hearing in which she perjured herself once again and made other false claims that are not supported by the facts.

Of course, it could be the $1,000.00 per month Stetson's Grandfather receives, or the free education he (Stetson) will receive at Taxpayer's expense once he (Stetson) ages out of the system he is so adept at manipulating.

Mrs. Smith takes further bold advantage of being anatomically uncorrect, by stepping forward and down hard once again with sentence five, by stating about Daniels that "he has been around this agency for years" (untrue, just barely over one year) "and encourages women to resist services." That last statement is true, in that they lie to their "clients" and we do advise resistance, primarily because the Editor and his publications have grave concerns over the Human Trafficking aspects of Washoe County Social Services and CPS activities, and furthermore, they are the ones farming out business to those businesses who in turn, support their opinions in Court against innocent families, including men, women and children, and are in this Editor's opine, CLEARLY Trafficking in Children, their parents and the indigent, for personal gain and professional profit.

That is not what Social Services and CPS exist for, therefore, we strongly recommend that you (as in "all") keep these heinous criminals masquerading as "Public Servants" the hell out of your life and protect your families and reputations in the process! None of them can be trusted and to quote Karen Lekas: "CPS is Satan." They practice the same procedures literally, as the Nazis of World War II infamy, including taking you and your children out of your home, often times under arrest, and processing you in a grist mill that makes Dachau and Auschwitz seem like a resort vacation in Fiji and Tahiti !

I kid you NOT!

We are expecting receipt of a decenting opinion soon and will publish as soon as it arrives, but until then, Washoe County Social Services and CPS are a pack of liars, bent on wrongly taking your children for purpose of resale on the Black Market, with high values placed not only on your children's heads, but also on your own, much of which, if not all of which, you and your fellow Taxpayers are paying for out of YOUR pockets!

So, as far as resistance goes, Mrs. Smith is telling the Truth on that one! This Editor highly advises you resist until we clean and clear Washoe County Social Services and CPS out, and something better and more human, let alone, humane, is put in their place.

In sentence six, Smith states that "I am worried about her and want her to take advantage of her time with you to process."

She is hardly worried about her except for the fact Mrs. Lekas will be pursuing Civil and potentially Criminal Lawsuits against Mrs. Smith and her Gestapo co-horts, and why the hell does a "caring" Social Worker utilize the words "to process" without being specific as to what processing means!?

Proof positive that Emily Smith cares no more about Karen Lekas than processed cheese, processed turkey, processed chicken, etc.

After all, Smith and CPS are running nothing more than a "meat market" filled with "veal" ~ the latter being the high priced meat or "flesh," in this instance, veal being the flesh of baby calves ("Kalbfleisch, for those of you CPS Nazis in the Waffen County SS and CPS Gestapo). For those of you in the Waffen County SS/CPS Gestapo, that's also considered "Rindfleisch" (Beef), and for those of you we accuse of Human Trafficking, consider the translation for the words "fleisch fressend" ("flesh-eating"), particularly where your actions, whether for profit or for power, are eminating from the flesh of mere "babies," children and teens.

Smith also seems to think that we're all living in "The Matrix" and CPS families are to be "processed," as though in similar Matrix-style "Cocoons!" She even seems to divide her time between the two "processes," i.e., "fleisch fressend" Cannibalism (auf Deutsch: Kannibalismus) "for profit" and Data processing (auf Deutsch: Datenverarbeiten) "for profit," wherein both have relevance to "Human Trafficking."

Anything and everything for money and power, eh Emily Smith !?

So much for the Mushroom processing in a Dark Room filled with "Bovine Scatology" ~ or, "B.S.")

Wonder what day Smith's own child was "processed" on (as opposed to "born," a more human expression with a human conscience to boot)!?

These are human beings, not just data for the system to process in order to turn out MONEY! Mrs. Smith must be in a "walking coma" to be "processing" e-mails without regard to a person's humanity and/or "The Facts!!!"

Plus, the issue of doing things without thought of reward. Non-profit, in other words ~ actually, no, those are the words, Mrs. Emily Smith!

The messages below complete the exchange and have little controversial in them, other than, why isn't Mrs. Smith contacting her "client" through the client's Attorneys!? A repeat theme throughout all this correspondence.

Again, Washoe County Social Services and Child Protective Services cannot be trusted. Protect yourselves and guard your families against them and their intrusive, "human processing" for profit!

Don't let your families or yourselves be eaten up by the Nazi Cannibals at Washoe County Social Services and Child Protective Services, especially the thoroughly ravenous Mrs. Smith!


Emily Smith's Libelous, Poisonous Pen

Ms. Smith failed the County miserably once again, as these e-mails fell into my hands and are now the subject of pending litigation. Seems like Washoe County and the City of Reno want to make me rich beyond my wildest beliefs.

Frankly, I just wish they'd knock it off. Since they won't, we go to Court.

Karen Lekas Announces Plan to End Relationship with Silver State News Editor Mark S. "Bear" Daniels

In a statement issued in her dreams only moments ago, Karen Lekas has agreed to end her one-year-long, so-called "relationship" with SSNS News Publisher & Editor Mark S. "Bear" Daniels (Yours Truly ~ Ed.) provided that...

...Washoe County CPS Social Worker Emily Smith stops breathing.

Daniels has also agreed to curtail his amusement if all Washoe County Social Service and Child Protective Service Workers stop breathing for at least three, consecutive, uninterupted hours.

In lieu of not breathing, Daniels added the alternative condition that if all Washoe County Social Services and CPS Workers climb into a bus driven by Emily Smith, and that Emily drives that bus off a very high cliff (Malibu, California has a nice one and besides that, they'll all have a wonderful, lovely view of the Pacific Ocean on the way down ~ Ed.), then that will suffice in terms of the "stop breathing" clause.

Otherwise, they'll all be forced to kiss our big, white, hairy (Daniels, in this case...) A$$E$!!!

We are awaiting the Waffen County SS and CPS response at this time but are not optimistic, especially considering that Emily Smith is having major troubles extricating her head from her own A$$ since her finger was already up there at the time.

For a proper response from Smith and her "bitches" at the Washoe County SS, we know that Emily is going to need her finger to signal her usual response with. Or, the hand that's attached to said finger, the former of which will be necessary for Emily to drive the bus with.

(Editor's note: Lord knows that Karen and I don't want anybody to get hurt! <sound of frogs croaking, chirping crickets, all silenced by a Mad Man laughing off into the distance>)

Stay tuned to Silver State News Service for more Breaking News throughout the day...especially at the sound of a Bus "Breaking" should Emily choose to not brake on Dead Man's Curve, in Malibu, California.

Karen Lekas Wins The Ethics Battle With Emily Smith and Washoe County CPS

Karen Lekas with her Attorney Lance White, outside the Mills Lane Justice Center on Sierra and Court, Reno, Nevada. Lekas won an Ethics battle with poorly represented Washoe County CPS yesterday, as Emily Smith, of the Washoe County SS, could not prevent Mrs. Lekas from imparting the knowledge to Master Buffy Jo Dreilling, regarding one of her son's attempts to stay in the system so that his Grandfather could benefit by a $1,000 per month stipend for taking care of the child, and to obtain free college at Taxpayer's expense when he ages out of the system.

Smith and Washoe County SS/CPS base their claims that the son should not be returned home on an alleged fear of the Mother by the son.

The son has been visiting with his Mother almost daily. So has his elder brother, who was also taken from the home on false charges by CPS against Ms. Lekas that she allegedly gave alcohol to a four-year-old minor child of her husband.

The problem CPS now has is proving that Ms. Lekas was home, as multiple witnesses will testify that she most assuredly was not, as they have already testified to us here at SSNS.

Ms. Lekas informed the Court that she would not stand in the way if CPS admitted that this was not an issue of her being a bad Mother, which has already been disproven, but rather, one of incompetence and fraud by CPS and her son.

CPS attempted to retaliate with allegations that they could not get hold of Ms. Lekas. Smith made the very serious mistake of admitting that they were attempting to contact Ms. Lekas independent of her Attorneys (above, Lance White, and Ken Stover, who is not pictured...), a major point of Law and Attorney Conduct, as overseen by the Nevada State Supreme Court and the Nevada State Bar (When it actually works ~ Ed.). Mrs. Smith was instead, admonished by the Judge, who told her curtly that she could contact Mrs. Lekas through her Attorney(s).

All-in-all, Emily Smith and CPS were seriously rebuffed in Court by both the Master, Lance White and Mrs. Lekas, and even Smith's words that "We do not like the relationship between Mrs. Lekas and Mr. Daniels" fell on deaf ears. For his part, Editor Daniels was there to testify as to the false allegations (again!) by Smith and CPS that Mrs. Lekas had failed to protect her son from the advances of Daniels' daughter, whom CPS papers indicated had "mental health problems."

The Editor, had he been called, would have testified as to the "Bald-faced Lie" of CPS in that, when the Editor's daughter became unstable after a serious, prescription drug interaction problem, she called the Editor immediately and he made the run from Reno to Stead in less than twenty minutes, to pick up his daughter for a possible trip to the Renown ER. The Editor's daughter refused treatment on the way home and stablized later that evening and during the following day.

CPS never checked their facts with either Mrs. Lekas or this Editor.

Sucks to be CPS! <g>

Sucks worse to be Emily Smith after Court on January 4th! <ggg>

Their (Smith's/CPS) perjury, slander and libel, is noted in their documents by this Editor and will be dealt with in short order. Smith was also noted to object to this Editor's presence in the Court, but that did not stop her from caustic comments and venemous vitriol delivered about him after the Master ordered him out of the courtroom.

Aw, hell, they know the information is going to be delivered to me anyway! <g> That's the very thing that has Emily's soiled panties in an uproar! <ggg>

Why resist!? < LOL! >

Silver State News will shortly apply for admission into the courtroom to begin Media coverage at the next hearing, tenetively set for July, 2010. The Criminal Case will be over by then, won by Mrs. Lekas, and CPS will have to defend itself from the position to which it will have fallen, i.e., on its A$$!

That will finally make it interesting enough for us to attend in an official capacity. By then, CPS will be forced to make changes and actually performing their duties properly will be high on the list, though we don't expect any improvement, but rather, continued decay, until such time as this dis-organization is cleaned out, and that includes both CPS and Washoe County Social Services, which we happily SLAM (!!!) below! <g>

  • CPS Attacks Cherish Lumos ~ a friend of the Editor ~ in a failed attempt to take her daughter, Mattlynn.
  • Lumos confronted by twelve Sparks, Fallon and Reno P.D., driving a borrowed truck the day before, and forced to the ground at gunpoint. The vehicle allegedly suspected of being used by a drug trafficker.
  • The owner of the vehicle has actually been living a much more noble and heroic life and is a Disabled, Purple HeartVeteran, U.S. Army Ranger, wounded twice (Corrected ~ Ed.) in combat in Iraq, and presently offered return (Promotion) to Special Forces (Our Nation's Elite Fighting Forces) if he can overcome his earlier injuries. Also a friend of the Editor...
  • Lumos' children were not with her at the time of the altercation; released without charges. Had they been, we're wondering if this might have been a CPS intervention instead of a Drug Interdiction.
  • If this was a CPS intervention, considering the timing of things, does it really take twelve guns from three different cities to take down a single Mother running errands in an SUV !!??
  • On second thought...let's not go down that road with anything less than Stinger Missiles, Land Mines and an Anti-tank Arsenal! (Sorry guys! I know how Cherish drives!) <g>
  • CPS Social Worker Emily Smith visits Karen Lekas' daughter at her school and when the child tells Smith that her Daddy didn't touch her and she wants him both home and to take her to the Father-Daughter dance. The Social Worker reported as replying that she "will do everything in her power" to send Dave Sharra home to the child.
  • Editor's daughter has her 3-month-old son removed from the Editor's home on December 8, 2009; Editor beaten in Home Invasion Attack by Reno P.D. for demanding Search Warrant and/or Court Order.

~~~~~~~~~~

So, are the Editor's friends with children being stalked because of his publishing?

Cherish Lumos' Cases Added to Our Coverage Beginning Today...

...that's right, CPS!

We're still publishing...

...plus, we have more State and Federal complaints in process, including to the F.B.I.

~~~~~~~~~~

Well, CPS sure has taken an interest in my friends. At the end of another CPS Gestapo-style assault on Motherhood last night, I got to speak with two Social Workers who had brought Cherish Lumos to Renown Medical Center, along with her baby girl Mattlynn, born in the Spring of 2009 with birth defects, to include organs that were growing in her lung and that lung, mostly collapsed.

By the time I received Cherish's tearful call, the child had already had labs and doctor's tests and the doctor, Dr. Theordore Sorenson of the Renown Emergency Room, had proclaimed the baby just fine and once I was in the Emergency Room, the doctor himself confirmed that with Social Workers, Cherish, Mattlyn and myself, indicating that there was even improvement in her liver function. He was all smiles and released Mattlynn and Cherish five minutes later.

The Social Workers were introduced to me on arrival, and the lead Social Worker, Julie Brandt, who was accompanied by another Social Worker, known only as "Jamie" at this time, but no fault of her own as I didn't bother to ask her what her last name was. It was already after nightfall and it was getting pretty late for me, but not like it was for Cherish, who had the presence of these two Social Workers since earlier in the day.

A very interesting CPS raid in that, they didn't know where Cherish was and went to her Mother's work to ascertain her whereabouts. The Mother, unknowing of CPS tactics, especially since we ourselves, published links and portions of those tactics here for the first time just last night, informed the Social Workers as to where Cherish was living. For whatever reason, the Social Workers did not go there immediately, though they later claimed to Cherish they made two visits and found no one at home.

Cherish informed this Editor ~ who was introduced to the Social Workers as the Editor of Silver State News Service (the lead worker, Julie Brandt, replying along the lines of [Editor's attempt to quote from memory] "Oh yes, I believe I've read some of that..."), so that there was no confusion as to whom I was and the job I was performing ~ that the Social Workers had not been as pleasant earlier in the day, and had even informed her that they had been stalking her (Editor's words..."watching her" was the approximate quote...) since November 7, 2009, the anniversary of the death of her infant son, Dale, who succombed to SIDS at Renown Hospital, despite desperate and extreme efforts to save him, including a CARE Flight from the Fallon area directly to Renown.

They apparently told Cherish that they wanted to see how she was going to react on that Anniversary, they believed she was suffering from Depression of a major variety (Editor's words...approximate quote as I did not have my audio tape recorders with me) and that they believed she didn't care about her children and wanted to take Mattlynn from her.

When asked about the reason for their visit, the Social workers told this Editor that "Cherish" had missed "a number " of Mattlynn's apointments. The Social workers indicated to Cherish "three." Cherish indicated to this Editor, "two," because of Depression from missing her son, who was currently with his father but did arrive yesterday at his Grandmother's house for a Christmas Family Dinner. I mentioned the issue to the Social Workers that the "separation anxiety" from her son was certainly understandable. During the visit, the Social Workers offered counseling for Depression, but after they left, Cherish made it clear ~ as have other Mothers I've spoken with ~ that she wants nothing to do with CPS.

As far as SSNS knows, there is no open CPS case involving Cherish and we are left to wonder if they thought they had a third child for their Instant Baby Adoption Mill (Editor's words..."charity" seems to miss the mark...) and didn't realize Mattlynn is disabled.

Why show up like the Gestapo if you're not stalking her (Mattlynn or Cherish, in particular)? If you're not watching her (Cherish's) every move and those of her children?

Of course, Christmas is a time of good will. If I wanted to make money adopting children out, ol' Ebenezer here could make a bundle if I had plenty of children to process through the Grist Mill.

Why bother a woman and her sick child and drag them out into the cold for a "medical check-up" six days before Christmas ~ on a Friday night ~ when you could be home enjoying your own family and children...

...if you have any. This Publication and its Editor are informed and believe that there are CPS workers who haven't had or raised a child, but that doesn't seem to stop them from being experts about Motherhood.

CPS ~ "It's not a Job, it's an Adventure!"

The Editor is wondering why these CPS workers are watching Cherish with such a keen eye and why they even offered to leave the baby with Cherish, since there was no other family that could handle the child, considering Mattlynn is on oxygen (portable) and an oxygen generator (non-portable, home style) for her reduced oxygen capacity due to the lung defect.

Leave the child with the "negligent" Mother and you're saying the Mother is just fine. Missed appointments can be rescheduled and let us not forget, all the nasty weather these past couple of weeks, affecting driving conditions for a Mother with a roughly nine-month-old child requiring a three foot tall portable oxygen tank and accoutrements.

And what's with asking the Mother to set up the baby's Oxygen generator and equipment with the Foster family you're going to give the child to?

Professionally trained, highly-paid Washoe County CPS Social Workers don't know how to do that!?

Seriously...?

Ol' Doc Sorenson was on the ball last night in the Renown ER! Not only did he nix that anything was wrong with Mattlynn, they even found that with this "negligent mother," the Liver function had improved!

To put it very bluntly, Doc Sorenson nixed CPS taking another innocent baby from another innocent Mother, depriving the Instant Baby Adoption Mill of more Grist to Grind.

Cherish had a bad day, to be sure.

CPS has been working on this scam since November 7, 2009, and a 1 1/2 month kidnapping plot has just gone into the toilet. Now, looking back on Cherish, perhaps her day wasn't so bad after all. Nor Mattlynn's, considering she's still with the Mother that loves her, and Mattlynn loves her back, and Mattlynn's Liver Function is improved. Something I recall that CPS applauded last night in the Emergency Room at Renown.

We don't advise Cherish to miss anymore appointments but I think you can see where I'd be headed if I said ~ in humor ~ "Hey, maybe Mattlynn feels better the less doctors she sees!" Cherish will reschedule and make the appointments. So, why the interrogation? Why go to her Mother's work to track her down if you're already stalking her (Editor's words ~ unlawful "observation" is probably what you're all thinking at this moment. Let's do be Politically Correct...)?

Harrassment, perhaps, above and beyond Kidnapping and Human Trafficking for Profit!?

Why X-number of hours in the Emergency Room taking doctors and staff away from the ER patients who REALLY NEED THEM !!??

And fellow taxpayers, you and I are paying through the ying-yang for this!

What I'm thinking at this moment is: "Satan, I rebuke you! You have no power over me!"

Which is to say, if I'm not stupid enough for the Devil to trick, what makes CPS think they're going to pull the wool over my eyes or those of my readers!?

When Cherish was younger ~ she is twenty-five years of age at this time and had her first of five children so far in her teens (16 years of age, to the best of my recollection...we'll update all of these details for you readers later...), with the first two being taken by CPS, one passing away (Dale, who died of SIDS while approaching a toddler's age), and the other currently between Cherish and his father.

Cherish asked these two people, Julie and Jamie, if they were "ever going to get out of my life and leave me alone!?" Their answer was apparently no.

In the Emergency Room, however, all bright sunshine and smiles. Even a little applause when Mattlynn is declared in excellent health, to include improvement in Liver function. Seems Mom has her act together! In fact, CPS told her in front of this Editor that she had "done everything right ~ you're in the driver's seat," in terms of riding back home with them or returning to her home with this Editor driving.

Only.

Cherish: "I want to go with Bear," and so she did, with CPS indicating that "We'll leave you in Mark Daniels' capable hands then..." (Approximate quote) and they departed, since the doctor refused to diagnose Mattlynn in the manner that CPS may have wanted ~ i.e., "contrary to the Truth" ~ and since all the ER and Materinity Docs and Nurses know Cherish and her struggle to keep this child alive, following the loss of her beautiful son Dale, let's just say there's this "aura" of protection for these two in particular, who try to avoid CPS Social Workers like a Rabbi might try to avoid Adolf Hitler in pre-WWII...

...except that if given the opportunity, the Rabbi might like to smack ol' Adolf upside the head with a brick!

...or, I've always loved that scene in Adam Sandler's "Little Nicky," where Hitler is forced to dress up as a hotel maid and take a full grown pineapple up the Wazoo ~ like Washoe County Social Services, CPS and two, renegade, Reno P.D. officers are about to, in my Police Brutality/Civil Rights/Human Rights Violations cases, criminal and otherwise.

And who would blame him (the Rabbi) or his antagonist (Satan, as played by Harvey Keitel [Reservoir Dogs], in Little Nicky)!? <g>

The women that I'm speaking with these days seem to think that Washoe County CPS Social Workers already have a pineapple shoved up there anyhow, when they come to purge Motherhood (Editor's words again..."visit" might be the word you're all searching for.) and carry crying, screaming, frightened children off into the night (Editor's words again...no...this time, those are the words).

The Social Workers made their get-a-way (Editor's words..."departure" might be more the light these two CPS types would rather be in...), followed by Cherish, Mattlynn and I, and that was the end of another trying day in the life of a Washoe County Mother and her adorable, beautiful, smiling infant daughter.

SSNS was given permission by Cherish Lumos to begin coverage of her cases and their history back to her teenage days, especially since she wants CPS out of her life for good.

CPS wanted a drug test from her today, but my sudden appearance may have flustered the two "Ladies." They forgot to give Cherish the address, directions and a map. The test is by Law, obviously optional, since there is no Court Order requiring it.

Silver State News Service and its Editor are advising everyone that, due to CPS Tactics, as outlined at this link FightCPS.Com, among many others, should avoid any voluntary conduct in conjunction with CPS "Visits" (ALSO SEE "The Krystallnacht" and "The Holocaust" and "Lebensborn" and "Nazi Human Experimentation" at www.wikipedia.org ).

And, of course, stay tuned for more since ~ if you have contact with this Editor and have children ~ you'll likely be receiving your CPS Gestapo visit soon. Let us know ~ bearzbearzbearz@yahoo.com

KAREN LEKAS' DAUGHTER RECEIVES A SOCIAL WORKER VISIT AT HER SCHOOL ON THE SAME DAY

Silver State News Service Editor learned this morning, December 19, 2009 ~ five days before Christmas Eve ~ that CPS Social Worker Emily Smith paid a visit to Karen Lekas' daughter at her school. The child, who is now ten years old and watching from the sidelines as other girls prepare for an upcoming "Father-Daughter" dance at her school, told Smith that she wanted her father, Dave Sharra, home and repeated that he had never touched her "in that way," and further told Smith that she wanted Dave home to take her to the Father-Daughter dance. Smith reportedly replied that "I will do everything in my power to see that happens."

Ms. Emily Smith and Washoe County CPS ~ all eyes are on you...

...six days from Christmas.

Amazing how Washoe County CPS workers are spending their Christmas Holidays!

No, Really, CPS ! How much more is Cherish Lumos going to have to suffer from you?

How about all the other Mothers in Washoe County?

In Support of Karen Lekas and the other Victims of the Washoe County SS and CPS Gestapo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Honorable Debbie Smith and the Honorable Don Gustavson:

This is a simple message in support of Karen Lekas in her State of Nevada vs Karen Lekas case, currently before the court of Judge Patrick Flannagan, Washoe County, Nevada.

My newspaper has been reporting against Washoe County Social Services and CPS by presenting Mrs. Lekas case information to my readers around the World.

On December 8, 2009, the Washoe County SS and CPS, along with Reno P.D., whom I've been reporting critically against as well, in regards to corruption at the Reno Air Race Association (RARA) and tactics utilized against parents in the Washoe County SS system, retaliated by taking my grandson (I'm the surrogate father of a 20-year-old daughter with Epilepsy and Bipolar Depression) based on false charges of malnourishment, along with other charges detailed at this moment in:

www.silverstatenews.com

I was beaten by Reno P.D. who charged through the door of my home as I attempted to close it after challenging them for a Search Warrant and/or a Court Order per the Fourth Amendment. I was struck in the head with a blunt object (assault with a deadly weapon), knee-d in the back repeatedly, had my head slammed into a wall and the floor, cuffed, injured, jailed.

I'm a 100 % service-connected disabled veteran running a Free Press in the literal sense (all expenses paid for out of my pocket using my Disability moneys) and was on a cane for support and pain relief. The Officers lied in their reports and claimed I attacked them with my cane. I have no less than ten life-threatening medical conditions including an aneurysm of the Thoracic Aorta, am 53 years old and am not about to attack anyone with my cane who carries guns, tasers, batons and back-up support, not to mention tear gas, shotguns and other forms of weaponry, plus are younger than I am, stronger than I am and more physically fit. You will see by the photos at
www.silverstatenews.com that at 318 pounds, I could have not have deliberate obstructed the door since there was no other room where I could stand.

I was arrested for Obstruction/Resistance, facing six months in jail plus 90 days on another charge (Misdemeanor Trespass on a Public Airport as charged by the Reno Air Races and RARA, a private, non-profit entity), and went onhunger strike while at the jail as it was my only means of protest. I also refused medical treatment and medications for two days before ending the strike on the third day, the day of my release, at the request of a Washoe County Sheriff's Department Confinement Facility nurse.

I am fed upwith the horror stories about the Washoe County SS and CPS and their Gestapo tactics. This is nt Nazi occupied Germany, this is the United States of America. Social Services and CPS have too much power and too little auditing and oversight.

We have printed evidence and more yet to come proving that Washoe County SS and CPS are involved in the Federal crime of Human Trafficking in children, their parents and in particular, the indigent and disabled, and Justice needs to be served, as well as the best interests of The People, their Treasury and the Families at the mercy of such inhuman "SS types."

I implore you to seriously consider the Bill proposed by Mrs. Lekas and bring about an end to Washoe County Social Service and CPS Tyranny. They know they are not being watched and have been given "absolute power" in all matters related to children. As you know, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely," therefore, its time these groups were reigned in and re-educated as to the intent and purpose of their original cause ~ protecting children, not bartering in them for profit!

I am preparing for a trip toWashington D.C. to see about Federal investigations from there and potential trimming of the purse strings to Washoe County. To paraphrase the English Aristocrat Beau Brummel, who taught a King in the ways of "The Gentleman," if Washoe County cannot take care of its People with the funds that it is given, then the County doesn't deserve to have Health & Human Services funds.

Trafficking in children, to include stealing chldren and deliberately refusing to unify them with their families for the purpose of selling them through an Adoption Service facade, is inhuman beyond being inhumane.

Mrs. Lekas and others should never have to barter for their children.

My Press will not be silenced by the Gestapo tactics of Washoe County SS, CPS or the Reno P.D. They ill have to kill me to stop me from publishing and exposing their criminal misconduct. Even then, I will haunt them loudly from my grave!

Please visit Silver State News for further information about the Karen Lekas case and the ongoing case of retaliation against myself and my family for publishing in dissent with Washoe County SS and CPS criminal activities.

The website is still in disarray but I have been ill and on top of that, I am now re-injured ~ a Reno P.D. officer having stood on my diseased ankle so that a Washoe County CPS worker, Jena Drew, could walk over me as though I were just "so much rubbish."

She had been ordered out of my house as she did not have a Search Warrant or Court Order. She lied to get her way in, telling my 20-year-old daughter that she had to be let in by Law. Her own documentation, later read by my daughter, indicated that we don't have to allow CPS workers into our homes.

The Fourth Amendment provides the foundation for lawful search and seizure and should have been obeyed. The Right of a Free Press is guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Civil Rights do not stop at the door to Social Services ~ they begin there ~ heading in both directions.

The Nazi Gestapo tactics must end! Trafficking in children must cease! There needs to be an end to the tearing of families apart, and a new dedication made to putting families back together again, along with their support groups.

What to do if CPS Agents are Investigating You

"The only exception would be if the CPS agent shows up with a law enforcement officer bearing a search warrant. Usually that doesn't happen -- and I will tell you why. The CPS agent is there at your door to gather evidence. Usually he doesn't have enough real evidence to detain your child right away and there is not enough "probable cause" to obtain a search warrant. Typically, he will be just working on a phoned-in tip from someone who wants to retaliate against you for something. If you talk a lot, your words will be twisted in such a way as to be used against you in court. Also if you allow this person into your home, he will most likely find something there to complain about and use against you in court. A sink with 8 dishes needing washing can show up in his report as "a sink full of dirty dishes and a filthy kitchen" which of course would serve to make you look bad to a judge. Therefore, just don't let these people into your home. You have no idea what an issue they can make out of a pile of laundry sitting next to your washing machine!"

Subject: I am a constituate Washoe County please help me

I am writing this letter in a desperate plea for help from the injustices of WCDSS PLEASE don't ignore this. PLEASE help me.

I would love to see a bill passed that gives a governing body for arbitration, mediation and in general, someone to look over (Provide oversight) to Child Protective Services. CPS and its workers need to be reined in and kept in check, as with our Checks & Balances system here in the United States ~ a foundation for our Democracy.

Oversight needs to be provided by someone who has no ties to them, is neutral, impartial and cannot be controlled by their political and/or personal friends. A person or entity parents can go to with complaints that will be heard and addressed. Currently WCDSS has no such governing body. They pretty much have free reign to tear people apart and destroy families at will, as well as their whim.

I have a case that will leave parents in disbelief that such goings on can happen in our great county.

CPS took my 4 of my 5 children in January of 2008, based on false allegations and manipulated circumstances..

One of my children's has aged out of the system, one fled to Texas to avoid further tyranny and the state still has custody of the other 2. One lives in my home the other with a family member. That child had wants to come home and still, cps will not let him.

Highlights (read that as "Lowlights") of WCDSS wrongdoing:

* I was a accused of a horrible act that I did not commit. My children are being held for ransom. I have been told many times I could have my children back if I just confess. I was forced to barter two of my children to keep my remaining two children in their tender years, in my home. I allege CPS is trafficking in children, their parents and in many cases, their indigent parents.

*my confidential cps file was copied and given to my husbands, at the time, ex-wife. She in turn used it in a California court to steal his child from him. I have a court transcript were the attorney for the ex wife exclaimed in disbelief that cps released the file to his client.

* I was forced to get a divorce from my husband or lose my only daughter.

* my son (the one who started this) was dating the niece of the intake social worker that took and kept my children from me

*I lost my job. My income was $50,000.00 per year. I was rendered near destitute and CPS continues their persecution of me, now through the State Attorney General, since the D.A. had to disqualify himself due to misconduct by Jay Manmlein, one of his subordinates, and I have little to no money to hire Attorneys with, let alone, pay for the one I have who believes in my case.

* I have filed many complaints to Kevin Schiller and he will not even answer me. When a news reporter contacts CPS, they claim the Privacy of their clients prevents them from speaking or answering to the Public Watchdog. They hide behind this facade while committing crimes.

* I made over 100 requests for my cps file. CPS would not release it. They would not even release it to my attorney. The Courts do nothing.

* CPS workers exaggerate, fabricate, and flat out lie in court documents. Any complaints as to this misconduct goes ignored.

* CPS is being represented by Washoe county DA. Washoe county DA was also prosecuting my criminal case. The DA recussed themselves from my criminal case for prosecutorial misconduct and conflict of interest. The DA will not recuse themselves form my cps case and keep appearing at my meetings. This is a violation of Standards of Conduct, which Washoe County does not possess despite the existence of these standards in Business, Government and Law.

* I made valid complaints against the foster family. They were all ignored. Criminal attorney Ken Stover had a picture of the foster mother playing "beer pong" with my child and his underage girlfriend. In addition, I possess photos of the Foster Mother ~ posted by the Foster Mother herself on the Internet in an unsecured manner ~ of her half-naked, receiving a tattoo from her husband. CPS finally took my child out of the foster home. CPS did however give the foster family visitation rights. To this day the foster family still has contact with the foster family, despite their alcohol culture. When told about a refrigerator that was nothing more or less than a beer keg, Social Service worker Emily Smith, who is one of those keeping my children from me, said she thought that was "cool."

* When I speak to any press about what is unfair and inhuman treatment I get threats. "We are looking into pressing criminal charges" against "someone" for publication of materials that have been provided to a Journalist. The Journalist has had a T.R.O. filed against him by the Foster Family in an attempt to undermine the freedom of his Press, and is under assault by City and County Officials in other matters related to his publishing and speaking out against corruption. He tells me this is not the first time his Civil Rights have been violated by City, State, County and Federal Officials, nor will it be the last.

* The foster family with the help of CPS filed a TPO the hearing is 9/17/09 (Please come you can see the madness fist hand?)

* cps is making this unemployed single mother pay child support to the state. The father who has boasted to me of his $200,000 (six figure) a year income pays none. Any complaints as to that fact are met with a call from my attornye telling me to stop complaining. He states it will not help my case, it is insuring that cps will never go after him for child support and it makes me look crazy.

* My ex husband was found guilty in family court of child abuse but he was never served with any court papers as was not in court to defend himself.

* Social workers have threatened me.

* Social workers have lied to me, my children and the court. One of my children called them liars in Court, then was threatened that if he didn't accept an Attorney assigned to his case, for two days a week, he would have to accept a CASA worker seven days a week. The Master, Buffy Jo Dreiling, communicated the threat which I have a Court produced CD containing video of the interrogation and threats. I also have a video of myself being threatened by the Master and another video showing the travesty of Justice that occurs when someone (my husband) naively speaks out, believing that the system seeks honesty, but unknowing of the fact that the system is looking for information to use against he and myself.

* Social Workers have Foster Parents spreading the word about how much money is out there for taking children into their homes. @ $1,000.00 per child, which opens the system up for fraud. I'm still trying to figure out how "Dumb and Dumber" (names have been changed to protect the guilty ~ Ed.) can support their lifestyle, which includes expensive tastes in alcohol, ownership of a large Recreational vehicle and payments on a fine home in a private cul de sac ~ with other Foster parents occupying that same cul de sac in very nice homes of their own ~ with Dumb describing herself as a "homemaker" and Dumber working for "a glass company" (names have also been changted to protect the innocent ~ Ed.) The only way I can envision their supporting such an affluent lifestyle is through the moneys paid out by the Government to support the Foster children, actually being utilized by the Dumberers (names have been changed to protect the guilty ~ Ed.) not for the children, but to support their irresponsible lifestyle. This issue lends itself to Fraud and the overall issue of Human Trafficking by Washoe County Social Services and CPS, to include CASA and the Kid's Kottage, lends itself to Major Fraud Directed Against the United States Government, The People and their Treasury.

This is but a thumbnail of what CPS is doing, has been involved in, their abuses and their "untouchable" ways. There's much more if you'd like to hear about it and/or see more documentation. I understand from the Journalist that mine is not the only family that they're doing this to and that the problem also exists in California and shows signs of spreading or having spread nationwide.

I thank you for your time and interest in these matters, and I look forward to hearing from you soon."

Airbus Final Assembly Line China achieves 2009 target

16 December 2009

Eleven A320 family aircraft delivered from Tianjin on schedule and on quality


The Airbus A320 Family Final Assembly Line China (FALC) has achieved its 2009 target as the 11th A320 Family aircraft assembled by the FALC was delivered to Deer Air, an airline part of the HNA Group, on 16th December in Tianjin.

The first A320 assembled by the FALC was delivered to Sichuan Airlines via Dragon Aviation Leasing on 23rd June 2009. Since then, a total of five A320 and five A319 assembled by the FALC have been delivered and are now in operation with Sichuan Airlines, Deer Air, Shenzhen Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.

"We are very proud to have achieved our target in the first year of operation, on schedule and on quality. When we started operations in August 2008, we had two challenges: deliver Airbus quality from Tianjin and ensure a smooth ramp up of production. Both objectives were reached thanks to our Chinese partners' daily commitment as well as Airbus' active support at all levels. The success achieved in FALC is definitely a way forward for the continuous industrial cooperation between Airbus and China," said Laurence Barron, Airbus China President.

"This is a significant step for the development of FALC and is the result of the joint-efforts made by the Chinese and the European partners. FALC is an excellent example of the cooperation between the Chinese aviation industry and the rest of the world. FALC is a driving force for the development of the Aviation Industrial Base in Tianjin," said Zhao Haishan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Airbus (Tianjin) Final Assembly Company Ltd.

The A320 Family, which includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321, is recognized as the benchmark single-aisle aircraft family. Each aircraft features fly-by-wire controls and all share a unique cockpit and operational commonality across the range. More than 6,400 Airbus A320 Family aircraft have been sold to 221 customers worldwide, making it the world's best-selling commercial jetliner ever. With proven reliability and extended servicing periods, the A320 Family has the lowest operating costs of any single-aisle aircraft. Uniquely, the A320 Family offers a containerized cargo system, which is compatible with the world wide standard wide-body system.

By the end of November 2009, 442 A320 Family aircraft are in operation with 12 operators in China. Chinese airlines have ordered close to 600 A320 Family aircraft in total.

Notes to the editors

About FALC
The Airbus A320 Family Final Assembly Line China (FALC) in Tianjin is the third single-aisle aircraft final assembly line location of Airbus worldwide, after Toulouse and Hamburg. It is also the first Airbus final assembly line outside Europe. Based on the latest state-of-the-art Airbus single-aisle Final Assembly Line in Hamburg, Germany, FALC will assembly A320 and A319 aircraft. The FALC is a joint venture between Airbus and a Chinese consortium comprising Tianjin Free Trade Zone (TJFTZ) and China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC). Airbus and the Chinese Consortium respectively hold 51 per cent and 49 per cent of the shares of the joint venture. FALC started work in August 2008. Eleven A319 and A320 aircraft are scheduled for delivery in Tianjin in 2009 and the FALC production rate will be ramped up to four aircraft per month by the end of 2011.

Government of Jordan Selects Ingres to Drive Open Source Adoption Across the Country

Jordan’s Goal to Become the “Open Source Hub” for the Middle East in Line with Other Worldwide Government Initiatives

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingres Corporation, the leading open source database management company and pioneer of the New Economics of IT, and the Government of Jordan announced today that they have joined forces to establish the first ever agreement between an international company and a government to promote and drive open source adoption. Ingres and the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology of Jordan (MOICT) have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to achieve the widespread use of information technology and communication, particularly open source technology from Ingres, throughout the local software infrastructure in Jordan.

“Government agencies are always looking for the best way to quickly deliver quality services for their citizens using advanced technologies, but they also have an obligation to taxpayers to drive down their IT procurement costs”

“Government agencies are always looking for the best way to quickly deliver quality services for their citizens using advanced technologies, but they also have an obligation to taxpayers to drive down their IT procurement costs,” said Roger Burkhardt, CEO, Ingres. “The open source model delivers cost savings through a subscription model that provides excellent support with a cost that is aligned to the value delivered and totally eliminates the expense of proprietary license fees. We applaud the Government of Jordan as being the first to sign an agreement with an open source company to ensure the adoption of open source across the country. This is a huge first step and we hope to see other governments follow Jordan’s lead by taking concrete actions to adopt open source to accelerate innovation and reduce the taxpayers costs.”

Ingres understands that the university students of today are the chief technology officers of tomorrow, so the objective of the MOU will begin with the university system in Jordan, where students will have the opportunity to learn about open source and begin working on open source projects. With the help of Duroob, an Ingres partner in the region, open source training on Ingres products will be provided in English, as well as the local language.

In addition, as part of the MOU, Ingres will:

  • Organize “boot camps” to address technical requirements for the community
  • Offer free training to certify individuals from the IT industry
  • Arrange executive calls to assist MOICT in understanding the world-wide open source market
  • Provide software and support for a laboratory in one of Jordan’s leading universities
  • Train a group of specialists to implement a specific government service project
  • Support MOICT initiatives to promote open source through workshops, academic initiatives, and local partner support
  • Promote Jordan as a hub for the open source technology in the region

As part of the agreement, the MOICT of Jordan will:

  • Ensure the Government of Jordan will promote open source adoption within government departments
  • Assign IT resources to develop new functions for Ingres products with the community version of Ingres Open Source Database to create a community of developers
  • Confirm open source as an alternative for purchasing software in the Government of Jordan

“We are pleased to promote the benefits of open source in our region and our role in becoming the open source ‘hub’ for the Middle East,” said Samer Shamayleh, director of strategic agreements, MOICT. “Our agreement with Ingres will help us to raise awareness and create a general understanding among government agency leaders about the value of open source software. Open source allows IT systems to be built without expensive up front investments in license fees and, with Ingres, without compromising on critical needs for privacy, security, and reliability that are crucial to our government agencies.”

Government and Open Source Around the World

While the Government of Jordan is the first to sign an official MOU announcing its intention to work with an open source company in driving adoption of open source solutions across the IT infrastructure, many governments around the world announced initiatives in 2009 to do the same.

  • United Kingdom. The UK Government beefed up its open source policy, calling for positive actions toward the adoption of open source. It not only covers open source, but also details the adoption of open standards and the reusability of software across government. It states 10 policy objectives and details 10 key actions that should be taken throughout the UK government by CIOs and purchasing officers.
  • United States. A group of more than 70 IT vendors and academic organizations announced the creation of a coalition, Open Source for America (OSA), to promote the adoption of open-source software (OSS) by the US federal government. OSA includes vendors such as Ingres, Red Hat, and SugarCRM, along with universities with significant OSS curriculum (including North Carolina State University and Oregon State University). The OSA aims to help change policies and practices to allow the federal government to better use open source, coordinate communities to collaborate with the federal government on technology requirements, and raise awareness and create understanding among federal government leaders about the values and implications of OSS.
  • United States, Department of Defense (DoD). Recently, The Department of Defense Deputy CIO Dave Wennergren signed and released a “Clarifying Guidance on Open Source Software” memorandum that is intended to clear up common misconceptions and make it easier for DoD program managers to include open source software in their programs. Its goals are to improve agility, eliminate lock in, and reduce cost.
  • Canada. The government of Canada has issued an official Request For Information (RFI) on open source software to gather feedback and public guidance to help shape procurement policies. The move is seen as a prelude to broader adoption of free and open source software in the Canadian government's IT infrastructure.
  • Hungary. In December 2009 Ingres and FreeSoft PLC, Hungary’s leading service provider in the software development sector, announced it had won the Hungarian government’s open source software tender that has a four-year, $22.3 million budget. A consortium of seven companies led by FreeSoft participated in winning the tender. As the open source database of choice, Ingres will play an active role in all FreeSoft projects.
  • Vietnam. The Vietnamese Government ordered all governmental bodies to migrate to using 100 percent open source software products.

“We are pleased to see some of the world’s leading governments take a role to promote and use open source technologies to deliver innovative, lower cost services to their departments and citizens,” continues Burkhardt. “Ingres and many of our open source partners are committed to help governments understand the benefits of adopting open source in their IT infrastructure. While we’ve come a long way, we’ve still got a long way to go in terms of global awareness of this superior, cost saving technology.”

About Ingres

Ingres is the leading open source database management company. We are the world’s second largest open source company and the pioneer of the New Economics of IT, providing open source solutions at dramatically reduced cost than proprietary software vendors.

Terrafugia Uses Dassault Systemes to Create Street-Legal Airplane

LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that its CATIA brand has been chosen by Terrafugia, creators of the revolutionary Transition® Roadable Aircraft, for 3D composite and finite-element modeling. Terrafugia will use CATIA Analysis and CATIA Composites Design (CPD) solutions to design and develop its beta prototype, with delivery expected in 2011.

~~~~~~~~~~

“RAND has done a great job of getting Terrafugia up to speed on how to use CATIA very quickly and efficiently. RAND has been integral in helping us build a true relationship with Terrafugia.”

~~~~~~~~~~

After Terrafugia completed a successful Proof of Concept for the first version of its Transition Roadable Aircraft in early June, the design team began planning the vehicle’s second iteration. Having spent several years developing the initial Transition prototype, Terrafugia identified multiple ways in which they wanted to adjust the original design, including experimenting with alternate materials and sizing for the wings. In order to analyze the way different materials would bend or move under various conditions, the company required a solution with advanced 3D composite ply-modeling, dedicated part-modeling and material behavior simulation capabilities.

RAND North America, a value-added reseller of Dassault Systèmes PLM solutions and 2007 Dassault Systèmes North American Business Partner of the Year, recommended that Terrafugia adopt CATIA for its composite modeling needs. RAND chose CATIA’s composite solutions for their exacting technical features, which would help Terrafugia correct problems like wrinkles and bridges in the very first stages of design by visualizing ply characteristics and fiber behavior. They also emphasized CATIA’s value as an independent finite-element analysis (FEA) tool, thereby eliminating the need for a separate FEA investment.

Impressed by its success with Dassault Systemes’ SolidWorks 3D design suite, which it began using in March 2009, Terrafugia enthusiastically adopted CATIA Analysis and CATIA CPD as composite-focused complements to its existing SolidWorks infrastructure. According to Ben Zelnick, engineer at Terrafugia: “CATIA is a great complement to our SolidWorks solution. Being able to have a full digital model of a ply-by-ply layout will allow us to conduct accurate structural analyses, which is invaluable in reducing the weight of the Transition. In fact, we recently correlated an analysis of a CATIA model of a portion of the structure closely to a sample tested in our facility.”

Jacques Leveillé-Nizerolle, CEO, CATIA, Dassault Systèmes added: “We are pleased that DS SolidWorks’ design-centric customers can now benefit from CATIA’s leading composites virtual design and analysis applications to successfully meet their composites needs. This will complement CATIA’s full PLM strategy which is based on delivering a complete end-to-end PLM composites solution on a single platform, from design to simulation and manufacturing.”

For the upcoming second prototype, Terrafugia’s design team is using CATIA Analysis to create preliminary design simulations rapidly, easily and within a familiar CAD environment. The solution allows the team to optimize its designs based on product performance specifications and to quickly make updates after real-world testing. Moreover, the company is using CATIA CPD to build and test reinforcement spars on the prototype’s structural panels. CATIA CPD gives Terrafugia the ability to verify whether it can feasibly produce what is designed and the ability to perform simulation directly in the same environment.

The collaboration between Dassault Systèmes and RAND North America is representative of a long-standing, strong and active association between the two companies. Kendall Pond, vice president, Dassault Systèmes and liaison for its partnership with Terrafugia, discussed the role of RAND in bringing the CATIA deployment to fruition: “RAND has done a great job of getting Terrafugia up to speed on how to use CATIA very quickly and efficiently. RAND has been integral in helping us build a true relationship with Terrafugia.”

The Transition Roadable Aircraft can cruise up to 450 miles at 115+ mph, take off and land at local airports, drive at highway speeds on any road and fit in a normal suburban garage space. The two-seat vehicle has front wheel drive on the road and a propeller for flight, transforming from plane to car in thirty seconds. Both modes are powered by unleaded automobile gasoline. By giving pilots a convenient ground transportation option, the Transition reduces the cost, inconvenience and weather sensitivity of personal aviation.

For more information, images and videos of the “street-legal airplane,” please visit: http://www.terrafugia.com/news_media.html.

About Terrafugia

Terrafugia was founded in 2006 by award-winning MIT-trained aeronautical engineers and MBA's – who also happen to be passionate private pilots. The company’s mission is to provide innovative solutions to the challenges facing personal aviation. The result: the Transition® Roadable Aircraft. Taking advantage of new FAA regulations in the Light Sport Aircraft category, Terrafugia developed the Transition® to provide pilots the convenience of a dual-purpose vehicle. Its unique design allows the Transition® to fold its wings and drive on any surface road with a modern personal airplane platform. Once at the airport, the wings extend and the aircraft is ready for take-off. Both folding and extending the wings is done from inside the cockpit. The Transition® addresses head-on the issues private and sports pilots face: cost, weather sensitivity, high overall door-to-door travel time and a lack of mobility at destination. In July of 2008 Terrafugia returned to EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI with a completed Proof of Concept Transition® vehicle. Powered testing of the Proof of Concept has been ongoing during the second half of 2008. Construction, testing and certification of the Production Prototype will follow completion of the Proof of Concept’s testing program. First customer delivery of a Transition® Roadable Aircraft is expected to occur in 2011. To date, Terrafugia remains privately funded by a sophisticated group of accredited individual investors. The company is based just outside of Boston in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA.

Carrie Fisher has been a compelling force in the film industry since her feature film debut opposite Warren Beatty in the 1975 hit Shampoo. The daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, she became a cultural icon when she played Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy.

Her star-studded career includes roles in countless films such as Austin Powers, The Blues Brothers, The Burbs, Charlie’s Angels, Garbo Talks, Hannah and her Sisters, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, The Man with One Red Shoe, Scream 3, This is My Life, When Harry Met Sally, and Wonderland. In 1987, Fisher’s book, Postcards from the Edge, leapt onto the New York Times’ bestseller list and netted her the Los Angeles Pen Award for Best First Novel.

Three more bestsellers followed: Delusions of Grandma, Surrender the Pink, and The Best Awful. Fisher turned Postcards into a screenplay for the hit film starring Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep, Her writing has also appeared in Details, Harpers Bazaar, the New York Times, Travel & Leisure, Vogue, and many other major publications.

Fisher hosted her own show on the Oxygen network, Conversations from the Edge. Her television credits range all the way from Laverne and Shirley to Sex and the City, with recent appearances on popular programs such as 30 Rock and Weeds. Her experiences with addiction and bipolar disorder—and her willingness to speak honestly about them—have made her a sought-after speaker and respected advocate for these communities.

India Submits Letter of Request for Potential Boeing C-17 Order


LONG BEACH, Calif., Jan. 8, 2010 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] announced today that the U.S. government has received a Letter of Request from India's Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Indian Air Force regarding the potential acquisition of 10 C-17 Globemaster III advanced airlifters.

"Boeing is very pleased that the Indian government has expressed interest in acquiring the C-17 to modernize its airlift capabilities, and we look forward to working closely with them," said Vivek Lall, vice president and India country head, Boeing Defense, Space & Security. "We believe the C-17 can fulfill India's needs for military and humanitarian airlift to help it meet its growing domestic and international responsibilities."

The C-17 conducted demonstration flights in February at Aero India 2009 in Bangalore, where members of the MOD and Indian Air Force had the opportunity to see the aircraft's capabilities in action. The Indian Air Force wants to replace and augment its fleet of Russian-made AN-32 and IL-76 airlifters.

"Nations looking to modernize their airlift capabilities turn to the C-17 because it has the highest reliability and mission-capable rate of any airlift aircraft," added Tommy Dunehew, Boeing Global Mobility Systems vice president of Business Development. "It is available right now, without any development risk. Plus, the C-17 is an acquisition success story, with deliveries on or ahead of schedule for the past decade."

A tactical and strategic airlifter, only the C-17 can carry large combat equipment and troops or humanitarian aid across international distances and deliver them directly to small austere airfields anywhere in the world. It can land combat-ready troops on semi-prepared runways or airdrop them directly into the fight. The C-17's ability to back up allows it to operate on narrow taxiways and congested ramps. With a payload of up to 170,000 pounds, the C-17 can take off and land in 3,000 feet or less.

There are currently 212 C-17s in service worldwide, including 19 with international customers. The U.S. Air Force, including active Guard and Reserve units, has 193. Other customers include the United Kingdom (which recently announced a contract for a seventh airlifter), Qatar, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the 12-member Strategic Airlift Capability initiative of NATO and Partnership for Peace nations. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Air Force and Air Defence announced Jan. 6 that the UAE has signed a contract for the acquisition of six Boeing C-17s.

A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world's largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is a $32 billion business with 70,000 employees worldwide.

CloseBy Network Launches New Remote Monitoring for Care Giving Solution at CES 2010

Real-time, secure monitoring of elderly and disabled loved ones allows them to stay in the comfort of their own homes; with e-mail and mobile text alerts sent to a care network of trusted friends and family.

2010 International CES
South Hall 1 Booth 21407
Control4 Partner Pavilion


LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CloseBy Network, a subsidiary of Card Access Inc., unveiled its remote monitoring for care giving solution today at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. CloseBy Network is a flexible technology solution built for the Control4® platform which allows secure, remote monitoring to keep loved ones in their homes longer. The CloseBy Network system allows invited family members and friends to keep an eye on elderly or disabled loved ones through real-time monitoring.

“With CloseBy Network, we’re able to offer a solution to enable caregivers and their families to enjoy a better quality of life on terms everyone can accept.”

CloseBy Network uses a combination of sensors and software tied to a secure web application to allow families to choose what to monitor, how to receive the information, and who should be sent alerts. Depending on sensor location, they can receive alerts when their loved one leaves and returns, gets out of bed, opens the refrigerator or medicine cabinet, and if he is moving normally about the house. Members of the care network can also receive an alert if there is no activity within a specified time, or if their loved one uses the “Contact Me” button.

The CloseBy Network solution provides care givers insight into daily routines and establishes what a normal living pattern looks like, and then alerts them if anything changes.

Highlights:

•Easy to Use and Unobtrusive. It does not require the elderly loved one to learn anything new or change behavior.
•Flexible and Expandable. Built on the Control4 platform, CloseBy is expandable and customizable to individual care situations.
•Securely Monitored Only by Invited Caregivers. Through grouping, trusted caregivers control who is in the care network; they determine who sees information, what they see, and how they receive the information. The data is sent from the home to the Secure Web Server via a secure VPN link.
“We intend to help build the digital healthcare category for remote monitoring for care giving by offering flexible technology systems that lets people embrace their independence and lets their families know they are safe,” says Card Access CEO Kent Hansen. “With CloseBy Network, we’re able to offer a solution to enable caregivers and their families to enjoy a better quality of life on terms everyone can accept.”

Laurie Orlov, founder of Aging in Place Technology Watch, has sized the market for technology to help seniors age in place to be $20 billion by 2020. “Home Safety and Security offerings like CloseBy Network's are a key element of that market", states Ms. Orlov.

CloseBy Network offers a preconfigured system that allows Control4 dealers to easily tap into this $20 billion market of 44 million family caregivers. The system provides a great return on the initial investment, as well as recurring revenue from monthly monitoring fees. Because it is built on the Control4 platform, it provides a great opportunity for further customization and add-on sales, such as automated lights, door locks and temperature control.

CloseBy Network provides comprehensive marketing support, technical and sales training, and customer support to its dealer network to help them successfully go to market and sell CloseBy Network.

CloseBy Network is available today with a North American MSRP of $2,799. For less than the cost of one month in an assisted living facility, CloseBy Network can be installed with monitoring capabilities, allowing loved ones to stay in the comfort of their own homes and giving family members peace of mind.

“BREAKAWAY” Game Revealed by Dean Kamen to 45,000 High-School Students at 2010 FIRST ® Robotics Competition Kickoff

Live NASA Feed Connects Thousands of Participants at 57 Locations Worldwide Informed Thinking, Creative Analysis, and Gracious Professionalism™ Seen as Keys to Changing Society

MANCHESTER, N.H. --(Business Wire)-- Jan 09, 2010 FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a not-for-profit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology, launched its nineteenth FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) season today with the Kickoff of a new robotics game called “BREAKAWAY” before a crowd of 500 people at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, N.H., hometown and headquarters of FIRST and to the estimated 50,000 around the world via a live NASA-TV broadcast feed and Web cast.

“FIRST is about giving kids the opportunity to build skill sets like analytical thinking to then develop what they may or may not use to build a robot; but they might use these skills to become a scientist, engineer, or inventor,” said Dean Kamen, FIRST Founder, as he explained how what students learn from FIRST is very different from other sports. “Ten years from today, one of these students is going to be out in the world having done something extraordinary for a major, global problem.”

In the FRC “BREAKAWAY” robotics game, two alliances of three teams will compete on a 27-by-54-foot field with bumps, attempting to earn points by collecting soccer balls in goals. Additional bonus points will be earned for each robot suspended in air and not touching the field at the end of the match.

Sponsored by NASA, Needham, Mass.-based PTC, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the FRC Kickoff event is an opportunity for teams competing in the season to see the new game challenge and rules first-hand. Teams across the nation and in Canada and Israel watched the proceedings via NASA-TV broadcast or Web cast from 57 local Kickoff sites, many of which also offered workshops and a chance to meet other teams.

Dr. Woodie Flowers, FIRST national advisor and Pappalardo professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering, advised students on how to succeed in the 21st century noting, “This thing we’re launching today is not about building a robot, it’s about changing society. Remember Gracious Professionalism™, remember informed thinking, and remember critical analysis – all three, all the time. If you do that, you will soon have real comparative advantage.”

The “BREAKAWAY” Kickoff included presentations by FIRST founder Dean Kamen; PTC president and chief operating officer James E. Heppelmann; NASA program executive Dave Lavery; FIRST chairman John Abele; FIRST national advisor Dr. Woodie Flowers; and FIRST president Paul R. Gudonis. The program also featured remarks by Gov. John Lynch of New Hampshire; Gov. Linda Lingle of Hawaii; and Gov. Rick Perry of Texas. The program also recognized this year’s Safety Animation Award winner, the Burning Magnetos (Team #342) of North Charleston, S.C., and the 2010 FIRST Safety Video presented by Underwriters Laboratories.

“Today is really about your future,” said FIRST president Paul R. Gudonis, addressing the thousands of young people attending the Kickoff. Adding, “And to the thousands more who mentor FIRST participants within the programs, this is about our future – both immediate and long-term. We are excited to see what you will accomplish with the opportunities that come from being part of FIRST.”

During the event, Gudonis also announced the introduction of FIRST®Green, a series of eco-friendly programs designed to assist teams in raising funds to defray their costs. FIRSTGreen will include programs that promote electronics-recycling and energy audits, among others.

“As you set out on this exciting journey, know that you have the support of your incredible mentors, parents, teachers,” said James E. Heppelmann, PTC president and chief operating officer. “Support each other and grow together as a team. You are our future! Stay involved with FIRST, go to college, strengthen your skills, and develop great products that will change the world! And this world will become a better place for it.”

At today’s FRC Kickoff, FIRST teams were shown the “BREAKAWAY” playing field and received a Kit of Parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation components – but no instructions. Working with mentors, students have six weeks to design, build, program, and test their robots to meet the season’s engineering challenge. Once these young inventors create a robot, their teams participate in competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students.

The FIRST Robotics Competition is an annual competition that helps students discover excitement of science, engineering, and technology and the rewards a career in STEM can bring. More than 45,000 high-school students on over 1,800 teams from the U.S., Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Germany, Herzegovina, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the U.K. will participate in this year’s competition.

In 1992, the FIRST Robotics Competition began with 28 teams and a single 14-by-14-foot playing field in a New Hampshire high school gym. This season more than 1,800 teams – including 278 rookie teams – will participate. Forty-three regional competitions in the U.S., Canada, and Israel, plus seven district competitions and one state championship in Michigan, will lead up to the 2010 FIRST Championship at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, April 15-17.

FIRST programs are spearheaded by more than 90,000 dedicated volunteers worldwide, most of them professional engineers and scientists who mentor the next generation of innovators.

About FIRST®

Accomplished inventor Dean Kamen founded FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in 1989 to inspire an appreciation of science and technology in young people. Based in Manchester, N.H., FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs to build self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills while motivating young people to pursue opportunities in science, technology, and engineering.

Light Work™ ist LBOs zweite Produkteinführung und wird an dessen Stand mit der Nummer 21747 in der South Hall 1 der Consumer Electronics Show (CES 10) in Las Vegas vorgeführt. Diese Neuigkeit folgt auf LBOs Ankündigung seines ersten Referenzprodukts Light Touch™ und die Bekanntgabe der globalen Unternehmen, darunter Foxconn, Microsoft und Toshiba, die mit LBO an der Markteinführung seiner einzigartigen Projektionstechnologie zusammenarbeiten.

Um Light Work™ in den Märkten für Industrieprodukte und digitale Anzeigen einzuführen, arbeitet Light Blue Optics mit einem globalen Netz wertschöpfender Wiederverkäufer (VAR) zusammen, die aufgrund ihres starken Engagements für innovatives Design, ihrer nachgewiesenen Erfahrung in der Bereitstellung neuartiger Displaylösungen und ihrer hervorragenden Marktreichweite ausgewählt wurden.

Green Vehicles’ Triac™ All-Electric Vehicle Now in Production

Zero-Emission, 80 Mph, Advanced Technology Vehicle Exhibiting at the North America International Auto Show

North American International Auto Show 2010

SALINAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Vehicles, Inc., developer and manufacturer of advanced, affordable electric vehicles and technologies, will unveil the 2010 Triac™ pure electric, full speed commuter vehicle on the “Electric Avenue” at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Michigan from January 11th – January 24th, 2010.

“The Triac will help reduce the number of polluting vehicles on the road while giving drivers the real pleasure of experiencing well-applied technology at an affordable price.”

The Triac prototype was introduced to the market in April 2008. Delivering mobility with no CO2 emissions, and a highway speed of 80 mph, the Triac is designed for easy charging at about two cents per mile. The 2010 design incorporates feedback from early adopters and various engineering advances that, among other benefits, allow the vehicle to travel 20% farther per charge. Key improvements include:

  • Advanced IT system, which integrates the battery management system (BMS), GPS, motor controller function and vehicle diagnostics; delivers efficiency during charge; accomplishes extremely high accuracy and tracking of energy storage; incorporates navigational capabilities especially suited to pure electric vehicle drivers; and adds data logging. Driver feedback and programmable/dynamic systems adapt performance to various driving conditions, helping to guide driving efficiency improvements, reduce range anxiety, and lower operational costs.
  • Non-traditional electric drive-train, which raises efficiency and performance without the high cost of over-sizing the electric motor.
  • Next-generation energy storage and power systems, which optimizes trade-offs between cycle life; energy density; specific power, cost, and temperature sensitivity.

“Feedback from early adopters is critical for really maximizing drivability, IT system usability, comfort, and performance under real-world driving conditions,” said Mike Ryan, Green Vehicles’ president. “The Triac will help reduce the number of polluting vehicles on the road while giving drivers the real pleasure of experiencing well-applied technology at an affordable price.”

The 2009 ‘Early Adopter’ Triac has a real-world range of 80 to 100+ miles, depending upon individual driving behavior, which will increase by 20 miles in Green Vehicles’ 2010 model. Top speed remains 80 miles per hour. The onboard charger can be plugged into any 110v or 220v standard outlet; a complete charge takes six hours at 220v. Charging the battery for the typical 50-mile commute takes about three hours.

First deliveries of the 2010 Triac are slated for October 2010, at a price per car, including lithium-ion battery pack, of US $24,995. The company anticipates producing 1,000 Triacs per year. To see a video of the Triac on the road, please view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_q3D0qp0So
