"Judge Extends Life Support For Jahi McMath Until Jan. 7"

The family of the 13-year-old Oakland, Calif. girl who was declared brain-dead after a tonsillectomy was desperately trying to move her to a New York facility until a judge extended her life support at the Children's Hospital in Oakland Monday.

A judge extended life support for a brain-dead 13-year-old girl in Oakland until 5 p.m. on Jan. 7.

Jahi McMath suffered complications from a routine tonsillectomy at the Children's Hospital of Oakland on Dec. 9 to treat sleep apnea. She bled heavily and went into cardiac arrest.

Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo ruled to extend her time on a ventilator shortly before 5 p.m. Monday Pacific time, when she was scheduled to be taken off life support.

The family wants the life support to continue in case there is a possibility for recovery.

The girl's mother, Nailah Winkfield, said she cried and hugged her relatives outside the hospital when she heard the ruling.

"Who wants to know the date and the time their child would die?" she said, according to the Associated Press.

Up until that point, McMath's family was frantically trying to transfer the girl to a New York hospital.

The family's attorney Chris Dolan said he was waiting to hear from the New York facility, which he did not identify because he did not want media attention to influence its decision.

Dolan said other facilities in California have declined to take McMath and the New York hospital is the "last, last hope."

"The family is together, and today everybody is praying and being together," Dolan said Sunday.

The Children's Hospital in Oakland sent a letter to the family Sunday stating they have yet to hear from a New York hospital about taking Jahi.

The Oakland facility said it would need to discuss transportation and other legal issues before it can release the patient.

"We need to be able to talk to the other facility to understand what it is they are capable of doing," Cynthia Chiarappa, a spokeswoman for Children's Hospital, said. "This is not transferring an individual in a vegetative state, but a dead body."

Her family has set up a gofundme account to accept donations to move Jahi.

Charlotte's Black Crime Skyrockets! Black Leaders M.I.A.

Black Homicides Up In Charlotte This Year


Six months after Charlotte celebrated a year with a record low in homicides, an uptick in killings this year has officials and residents worried - especially in an area near uptown that has long struggled with violence.

In the first half of this year, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police investigated 33 homicides, up 27 percent from the same period last year, when there were 26 homicides.

The increase in crime is driven largely by a spike of killings in the Metro Division, an area of older neighborhoods that have struggled with crime in the past. In the 1990s, city leaders declared the area a top priority for improved police, housing and recreation services.

At this point last year, Metro Division's two dozen or so neighborhoods had one murder. This year, 11 people have lost their lives in that area, which lies mostly northwest of uptown and includes the corridors of Beatties Ford Road and Brookshire Freeway.

At its current pace, Metro is on track to finish the year with the division's highest homicide count since 2007. The division contains a mix of poor and working-class neighborhoods along with industrial areas - and it includes fragile communities such as the Lincoln Heights, Druid Hills, Genesis Park and Seversville neighborhoods.

Police note that crime overall in the Metro division is down about 20 percent from last year. Still, they say, the increased killings frustrate and overshadow gains made by police, residents and businesses.

Metro Capt. Bruce Bellamy recently outlined what his division is doing to combat crime during his monthly meeting with police commanders.

Bellamy says drug sales simmer beneath Metro's crime, so officers are disrupting street-level dealing. He has also assigned "focused mission teams" of officers to target pockets of crime.

In June, Police Chief Rodney Monroe announced he was beefing up patrols around homicide hot spots after a citywide spree of five killings in five days. One of those was the shooting death of a 23-year-old man in a Metro Division apartment complex.

Charlotte could still end the year with a lower-than-average homicide total. And the city is unlikely to come anywhere near its peak of 122 people killed in 1993, when the crack cocaine epidemic made drug violence soar.

Last year's 56 homicides was the lowest number in 21 years, and the lowest rate per 100,000 people since police began keeping uniform records in 1977.

Chief Monroe last week declined to discuss what might be driving the recent increase in killings.

In Metro, most of the homicides stemmed from disputes between loved ones or acquaintances, says Capt. Bellamy, heat-of-the-moment crimes that are hard to stop.

"It's not just random...The victims know the accused," Bellamy says. "It's frustrating from a police standpoint not to be able to do anything in some cases to prevent that."

People living in the Metro division say the police presence is noticeable, and that things have gotten better over the last decade or so.

In the mid-1990s, Charlotte recognized the troubles in the city's urban core neighborhoods and launched new efforts - with charities, churches and citizens - to attack root causes of crime. Taxpayers and donors spent millions to build better housing, fight crime, repair infrastructure, and create outlets for youth.

But some Metro residents say those coalitions have eroded.

"In our case, we feel almost abandoned," says Thomas "Pop" Sadler, who leads the Greenville neighborhood in Metro. "Not only have our partners walked away, they closed the pool and now they're closing the recreation center....I don't know what the kids are supposed to do. I'm afraid we're going to be visiting some of them in jail someday."

Sadler is glad to see police in Greenville, but he wishes officers would do more to build relationships with residents, rather than simply patrol.

He also says politicians don't come around like they used to. "It's not blighted like it once was so there's not a lot of attention. We don't have the representation we really deserve. We don't have advocates."

City Council member James Mitchell, whose district includes much of the Metro division, could not be reached last week.

Neighborhood leaders in Metro also fault residents for a waning commitment to the fight against crime. A previous generation of leaders, some say, has moved out or grown tired of shouldering so many of challenges.

"Nowhere in the world can police improve a neighborhood by themselves," says Herbert Weathers, a longtime resident of Enderly Park, where three of Metro's homicides this year happened - one in January, one in February and one last Friday.

"Monroe is a good chief. He has a lot of good ideas, but he needs help from the people ... We've been trying for honest to God about 30 years. It's not improving."

Bellamy says police are working to strengthen coalitions. He points to new alliances with business owners and apartment managers, such as those at the Bahama apartments, where he says crime has dropped this year.

"We're there to partner with anybody and everybody who's in (the) community," Bellamy says.

Beverly Earle, Malcolm Graham, Nick Mackey: Charlotte's Worst Black "Leaders"?

3 Black Charlotte Politicians Take Worst Attendance Honors


Two Charlotte area legislators gained the unfortunate distinction of worst attendance record during last year's legislative session.

And the whole issue of absences has deteriorated into a dispute between Rep. Nick Mackey and Rep. Beverly Earle, both Charlotte Democrats.

Sen. Malcolm Graham, a Charlotte Democrat, and Rep. Jeff Barnhart, a Concord Republican, accumulated the worst attendance records in their respective chambers, with the exception of fellow lawmakers who were ill or had surgery during session.

The records were tallied by the non-partisan N.C. Center for Public Policy Research.

Graham attended 91 of 112 legislative days for an 81 percent attendance rate. The only lower record was that of Sen. Richard Stevens, a Cary Republican, who was sidelined with a broken kneecap.

"Not only am I a state senator, but I work for a living as well," Malcolm Graham said, adding that the supposed part-time job is full time. "I try to balance the responsibilities of serving as well as making a living at the same time."

Legislators receive less than $14,000 a year in salary, plus $559 per month for expenses.

Barnhart made it to 95 of 114 days, or 83 percent. Earle, who underwent two back surgeries last year, and Rep. Becky Carney, who was out for two months after suffering cardiac arrest, had lower attendance figures.

"Who Let The Dogs Out?"...Dedicated To All Corrupt Politicians

Are Charlotte Politicians Attempting To Place Blame Of Poor, Lax Leadership & Corrupt Policies On Local Citizens?

Charlotte Observer----

Boards let Citizens shape Policy

Hundreds of residents have a chance each month to steer issues like parks, zoning and water rates.

They do it by serving on the dozens of advisory boards and committees appointed by local governments.

For some, the volunteer work can be a steppingstone for higher office.

For most others, the boards offer a way to help shape decisions made in the city and county without the more substantial time commitment and cost of serving as an elected official.

Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners Chair Jennifer Roberts said the advisory boards have “played a very important role in helping us formulate policy,” and have helped the county earn high marks from its rating agencies about public accessibility to government.

Appointments to the boards happen throughout the year, and both the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County currently are accepting applicants for vacancies that will be filled in the coming weeks.

While all the boards give their members an ear to the local political process, some committees are more popular and can wield more influence than others.

For example, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission reviews all petitions for zoning changes. And the joint Citizens Capital Budget Advisory Committee helps recommend how much in construction bonds voters are asked to approved.

Still others also help to shape growth and development in the community.

Members of the city's Bicycle Advisory Committee successfully pushed for a policy requiring the city to study whether a road is wide and safe enough for a bicycle lane when the street is being repaved, said chair Hal Bouton. Some committee members also helped shape a master plan around bicycling needs, approved by the city last year.

Bouton, a retired president of WTVI, said he signed up for the bicycling group as a way to help give back to the community. It's also given him an inside look at how many decisions about transportation are made.

City Councilman Warren Cooksey said he knew he wanted to run for office some day, and saw the planning commission as a way to learn more about land-use issues, which he called one of the most significant matters over which the council has control. He also served on the board for the Charlotte Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Cooksey said his seven years on the planning commission let him give input into zoning and development decisions without worrying about the political pressure or concern that elected officials can face. He said that's helped him while on the council to think more about the long-term impact about proposals coming before the board and not “the pressure of the moment.”

While he and other local leaders laud the work of the advisory committees, they also acknowledge there is some room for improvement.

Some argue the boards aren't visible enough, and aren't always on the radar of the elected officials. Cooksey said a city council committee has been charged with looking at ways to make advisory boards more effective.

Others say they want to make sure the boards better reflect the local community. City Clerk Stephanie Kelly and others said they'd like to see more women seek appointment to the boards.

County commissioner Vilma Leake said she has encouraged some in her district to apply, adding she thinks many people don't realize the groups exist.

Politicians, Pundits Seek Gov. Sanford's Resignation Or Impeachment...Who Paid For Affair?

MSNBC----

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A day after his stunning confession that he cheated on his wife with a woman in Argentina, a chastened Gov. Mark Sanford sought to do damage control Thursday at home with his family while many politicians urged the South Carolina leader to resign.

Fellow Republicans issued sharp calls for the disgraced Sanford to step down — a move he indicated he was not considering. And at least one campaign donor was drafting a letter asking for his money back.

One county GOP leader said the governor "talked about how our leaders have stepped away from our core values, and said one thing on the campaign trail or out in the public and did something different in the background."

Glenn McCall, a local representative to the Republican National Committee, said the GOP "can recover from this if we hold him accountable and the governor does the right thing and resigns for the sake of the party."

No plans to resign:

Sanford emerged briefly Thursday from his family's home on Sullivans Island, off the coast from Charleston, and rolled down the window of his car to talk. Asked if he planned to resign, he shook his head no.

Sanford also issued a statement promising to reimburse the state for an economic-development trip he took to Argentina last year that included time spent with his mistress. State Commerce Department records indicate more than $8,000 was spent on airfare, lodging and meals, though Sanford did not say how much he will pay back.

After disappearing to Buenos Aires for almost a week, Sanford returned Wednesday to reveal the affair and publicly apologize to his wife and four sons, his supporters and constituents. He also resigned as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

His emotional news conference had even harsh critics holding their fire, saying they were praying for the family to reconcile.

But the gloves started coming off Thursday as it became clear that Sanford had used state resources on at least one trade trip that included a tryst with his lover.

Sanford donor Al Hill of Dallas-based AG Hill Partners, an investment firm, was having a letter drafted Thursday requesting that money given to the governor's campaign be immediately returned. The company gave $3,500 for Sanford's 2006 race.

"And now we are asking that it be sent back," said Joy Waller, an assistant to Hill. "Do you even have to ask why?"

Don't play it out in public:

Former Sen. Fred Thompson, who waged a failed GOP presidential bid last year, took Sanford to task on his Web site.

"I don't have any sympathy in a situation where you've got a wife and four fairly young kids ... don't play it out in public," Thompson said of Sanford, who had been seen as a potential candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential ticket.

Even the first lady, Jenny Sanford, seemed inclined to let her husband fend for himself, a departure for a woman who has served as his closest political adviser for years.

"His career is not a concern of mine. He'll have to worry about that," she told reporters as she drove away from the family's beach house Thursday afternoon with children in the car. "I'm going to worry about my family and the character of my children. I'm going to take it a day at a time, and right now I am going out on the boat."

The state's top senator questioned whether Sanford broke the law when he disappeared without transferring power to the lieutenant governor.

Sanford said he left his staff with the impression he was heading off for some solo hiking on the Appalachian Trail, a bogus story that they relayed to reporters who began asking where the governor had gone.

"I would think that if the evidence indicates that there is a willful effort to circumvent the constitution, I think there would be a chorus of calls for him to resign," said state Sen. Glenn McConnell, a fellow Republican.

"It's over. He ought to resign," said Furman University political scientist Donald P. Aiesi. "First, he was derelict in his duty, obviously. And secondly, if he's going to make this marriage work, that needs to be his full-time job. He doesn't need to be serving the people of South Carolina. He needs to serve his family."

Could take action later:

State Republican Party Chairwoman Karen Floyd had an online meeting with the party's top leaders Thursday night to listen to their concerns and brief them on developments, but closed it to reporters. She said it was too early to call for a resignation, but the party could take that action when it meets in a July 6 conference call.

Sanford, barred by state law from running again, leaves office in 2010. If he were to resign, Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer — expected to run for the top spot — steps into the office.

The two men are not allies — candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run separately in the state — and others are also jockeying for the job.

There are deep misgivings about Bauer, who spent much of the 2006 campaign recovering from injuries suffered when a plane he was flying crashed. He was also injured politically by news that he had been let off for speeding after troopers stopped him. He was elected the nation's youngest lieutenant governor in 2002 at age 33.
