NASA /Wallops Launch Rescheduled For March 17th
NASA scrubbed the most recent launch of the five suborbital sounding rockets from the Wallops Facility in Virginia as part of a study of the upper level jet stream.
The launch was scrubbed because of an internal radio frequency interference issue with one of the rockets. The next launch attempt is no earlier than the night of Saturday, March 17th. Poor weather is expected for Friday, March 16.
The Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX) will gather information needed to better understand the process responsible for the high-altitude jet stream located 60 to 65 miles above the surface of the Earth.
As part the mission, the five rockets will release a chemical tracer that will form milky, white clouds that allow scientists and the public to see the winds in space. These clouds may be visible for up to 20 minutes by residents from South Carolina to southern New Hampshire and Vermont.
More information on the ATREX mission is available on the Internet at:

Final Update From Delegate Lynwood Lewis
By Delegate Lynwood LewisThis will be my last report from Richmond. The 2012 Virginia General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn, sine die, on Saturday, March 10. It is physically impossible now to vote on a budget by that time, even if an agreement were reached, because of the requirements of proof reading and printing this very large document. The consensus seems to be that we will be back in a week or two in a Special Session (which is not so special anymore) and pass a two year approximately $85 billion spending plan for the Commonwealth. In the final analysis, the two budgets in many areas are not that far apart. Of the 2867 bills filed in the 2012 Virginia General Assembly, approximately 1600 have made it through the process. At the end, several bills remain in conference where small committees of Senators and Delegates work to hammer out the differences between the versions of a bill passed by each Chamber. Any bill which does not emerge from conference by adjournment is dead. I have been appointed to three Conference Committees on different legislation to attempt to work out differences between the two Legislative Chambers.
I introduced 15 Bills this session and Co-patroned several others. Two of the Bills were designed to help our veterans obtain commercial drivers licenses and receive college credit for military training. I put in a couple of Bills at the request of our localities and worked to obtain passage in the House of the Memorial Resolution to Congress regarding the beach access and parking issue on Assateague. Another of the Bills would protect residents rights in our State training centers. This Bill came as a result of an unfortunate experience by one of our families in the District and is an example of how laws are often made in our Citizen Legislature. I Co-patroned a Bill with Delegate Chris Stolle to examine the effects and make recommendations regarding the effect of flooding and sea level rise in the Tidewater area, specifically including the cities of Hampton Roads and also the Eastern Shore. Among the other Bills I Co-patroned was a Bill designed to create a new financing mechanism for nonprofit organizations to use in developing renewable energy projects and also a Bill to facilitate natural gas infrastructure in rural areas. In addition, while in Richmond, I had meetings with State Government officials on issues important to economic development.
The budget will hold important provisions for some local issues such as Spaceport funding, planning money for a new Eastern Shore Community College facility, Oyster Restoration, as well as the all important K-12 Public Education funding. In addition, the hoped for solution to the underfunding of our Virginia Retirement System will be part of the ultimate budget resolution.
In many ways this has been a challenging Session, highlighting the polarizing times in which we live. In addition to returning for a day or two to wrap up the budget, we will return on April 18th to consider any vetoes by the Governor and to elect Judges. I will be having my annual round of post-Session Town Halls after that date. After March 10, I will be back in my office in Accomac.

U.S. Senate Candidate Richard Douglas Releases Radio Ad
Douglas Releases Radio Ad
From Jim Pettit
Contact: 301.704.1363
The Richard Douglas for U.S. Senate campaign announced today a six-figure advertising buy focused on statewide radio, direct mail and voter turnout phone calls as the April 3 primary nears.
The radio ads include news/talk stations WBAL and WCBM in Baltimore and those in the eastern shore, western maryland and southern Maryland and started airing this morning during drive time.
"With these commercials, more voters are realizing that Ben Cardin votes in lock step with Harry Reid to such an extent that he might as well be Nevada's third senator," said Douglas.
"Moreover, Republican primary voters are hearing another important message for the April 3 primary: it is absolutely essential that our party field a candidate who has the experience necessary to take on Ben Cardin."
The ads are built around the narrative the Douglas campaign has been emphasizing in recent weeks, namely inaction in the U.S. Senate, and incumbent Senator Ben Cardin's silence on issues including record high gas prices. The commercials also emphasize Douglas' service to the nation in the Iraq war.
The wherewithal to finance the ad campaign comes from a combination of the candidate's own finances, fundraisers with U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, who has endorsed Douglas, and the recent appointment of campaign chairman, U.S.
Ambassador Roger Noriega who served as Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs in the George W. Bush Administration.
Meanwhile, a new "submarine" social media fundraising campaign, a theme that emphasizes Douglas' U.S. Navy service, began today. The campaign reported $61,000 in campaign contributions in the last FEC reporting period in December 31.

Accomack County Man Found Guilty
VA SHORE: After being shot five times, victim was told, 'I might as well finish you off'
Written by
Nancy Drury Duncan
Staff Writer
ACCOMAC — An Accomack County man was found guilty of malicious maiming and a firearms charge after shooting an acquaintance five times in a 2 a.m. dispute over marijuana.
Anthony Wise, 24, of Melfa will be sentenced after a background report is completed. He claimed self-defense in the shooting.
“The defendant fired five times,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary Agar. “No other gun was produced.
There is no evidence of self defense.”
The victim, Sedric Dennis, said he was a front seat passenger in a car with two other men. The men were parked in a driveway facing the road in Rolling Acres, near Parksley.
“We were all drinking moonshine from a jug,” Dennis said.
He testified that he had an altercation with Wise earlier in the day while they were together celebrating a birthday. Dennis said Wise accused him of taking marijuana that belonged to him.
Dennis said he denied taking it. Wise seemed to accept that and said no more about it, until later.
“He (Wise) drove into Rolling Acres and got out and walked over to our vehicle,” Dennis said. Wise walked to the driver’s side and kept asking him for the missing marijuana.
Then Wise pulled out his gun pointed it in the window and shot Dennis five times.
“I was hollering,” he said. “I exited the vehicle and tried to run, but I fell because my legs gave out.”
He said Wise ran over to him and said “I might as well finish you off.”
Dennis said Wise pulled the trigger, “but it didn’t go off.”
He said the shooter got into his car and left and he asked the other men to call an ambulance, which they did.
He said he told them instead to take him to Royal Farms.
They met the ambulance there and he was transported to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital. From there, Dennis said, he was flown by Nightingale Air Ambulance to Norfolk Sentara Hospital.
Accomack County Investigator Earl Drummond read aloud a statement from Anthony Wise, who said Dennis, the victim, brought out a big, black handgun.
“I thought it was him or me,” he told Drummond. “I was scared. I Ann’s never shot nobody.”
“It was a self-defense issue,” defense attorney Thomas Northam told the court.
“He approached the vehicle and had a pistol,” said Lewis in finding him guilty.

Maryland's gasoline tax
Governor O'Malley appeared before two General Assembly committees today in a quixotic effort to save his gasoline tax hike proposal.
Following is a statement from U.S. Senate Candidate Richard Douglas:
"Governor O'Malley is addicted to tax increases, including those on gasoline, and Senator Ben Cardin, through his silence, is one of his chief enablers," said Richard Douglas. "Ben Cardin's failure to speak up on the regressive gasoline tax is an endorsement of out-of-control spending which comes out of the pockets of hard-working Maryland families. Our system of federalism is an important governing principle, but it is not an excuse for a senator to remain silent and abdicate leadership at this critical time when our state is headed in the wrong direction."
Bradley Colas Now Facing New Charges
A Virginia Beach police officer who stabbed two Accomack County firefighters and then shot at one of them is facing new charges.
State police tell NewsChannel 3 that Bradley Colas is now charged with attempted murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
NewsChannel 3 was in court last week when Colas testified that he was having a severe psychotic reaction to a common antibiotic called Biaxin.
The officer told the court that after starting the prescription, he developed tormenting hallucinations about demons.
He testified that he was compelled to race to Philadelphia to see Jesus when he crashed his car on Route 13.
He said he believed the firefighters dispatched to help him were evil.
That`s why he attacked them.
He is being held in jail without bond.

Md. Family Faces Deportation, Receives Grassroots Support

| Jorge Steven Acuna |
WBOC-TV
SNOW HILL, Md. - Nineteen-year-old Jorge Steven Acuna, his mother Blanca and his father Jorge Sr. were reportedly held at the Worcester County Detention Center in Snow Hill. They still face possible deportation.
According to the nonprofit Casa de Maryland, the Germantown family moved to the United States and was denied asylum from political violence in Colombia. Jorge was set to graduate from Montgomery College.
Friends have started an online effort to try and raise support for the Acunas to stay in the country.
"We're just trying to serve justice because a family as good as this deserves to be here," said Jorge's best friend Erin Lundy.
Lundy visited the Acunas at the jail on Tuesday, where the family has been held for about a week now. Late in the day, Lundy confirms the Acunas were released from the jail, and that they will likely join supporters who plan on holding a rally in Rockville on Wednesday. The case is pending.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told WBOC in a statement: "ICE also takes discretionary actions based on the merits of a case," adding that ICE recognizes there needs to be serious solutions to the nation's "broken immigration system."

NASA To Launch 5 Rockets In 5 Minutes
Based on the approved range schedule, the launch window for March 15 is between midnight and 1:30 a.m. EDT. The backup launch days are March 16 through April 3.
The Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX) will gather information needed to better understand the process responsible for the high-altitude jet stream located 60 to 65 miles above the surface of the Earth.
As part the mission, the five rockets will release a chemical tracer that will form milky, white clouds that allow scientists and the public to "see" the winds in space. These clouds may be visible for up to 20 minutes by residents from South Carolina to southern New Hampshire and Vermont.
The NASA Visitor Center will open at 10 p.m. on March 14, 2012 for public viewing.
Launch status also is available on the Facility’s Facebook page and its launch status line at 757-824-2050.The mission will be web cast beginning at 10 p.m. on March 14, 2012 at:

Fingerprint Requirement Changes
CHANGE IN FINGERPRINT SERVICES FOR BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS
(PIKESVILLE, MD) – Citizens wanting their fingerprints taken for background checks or applicant requirements will need to find an electronic fingerprint capture location and will temporarily be unable to obtain those from Maryland State Police barracks, due to a change in requirements by the FBI.
Effective March 19, 2012, Maryland State Police barracks that have previously provided fingerprinting services to citizens will be unable to do so, at least temporarily. The FBI will no longer accept paper fingerprint cards. All fingerprints submitted to the FBI will need to be taken electronically.
Persons needing fingerprints can visit the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services website at http://www.dpscs.maryland.gov/ and click on the “fingerprinting services” link beneath the “quick links” column. A list of electronic fingerprinting sites is located there.
Maryland State Police barracks are in the process of converting to electronic fingerprinting. That process will not be completed however, for at least several months.

Richard Douglas For Maryland Senate 2012
Statement from Richard Douglas
on Cardin's New Campaign Commercial
Statement from U.S. Senate Candidate Richard Douglas on Just-Released "Ben is Your Friend" campaign commercial:
"With record spending, record debt, jobs going to Virginia, and gas prices we have never seen before, Ben Cardin is talking about the benefits of brushing your teeth. It's no surprise that the incumbent Senator would rather distract voters with commercials about dental hygiene than work on fixing Maryland's problems."
