In the letter mailed to constituents
last month Goode wrote: "...if American
citizens don't wake up and adopt the

there will likely be many more Muslims
elected to office and demanding the use
of the Koran."

Goode said the U.S. needs to stop
IL-legal immigration "totally" and
reduce LEGAL immigration.

The blizzard that pounded most of
Colorado has all but passed. Now it's
time to shovel out from under nearly 30
inches of fresh snow.

SOT: Mindy D'Angelo/Resident

"Crazy...but it's pretty!"

not to everyone. Planes wont start
moving until Friday at Denver
International Airport. Thousands of
passengers stranded at the airport are
being told to pack up and head out..on
busses to nearby hotels.

SOT: Crystal Nuss/Stranded

"This is a good place to hang out with
people we like."

The mail will start moving again
tomorrow...but bus and light rail
service remains suspended. The National
Guard is delivering supplies and
rescuing motorists stuck in the snow.
Plows are out.. navigating around
stranded vehicles. And on many side
streetsit's neighbors helping
neighbors.

MOS: "WE LOVE PLAYING IN THE SNOW AND
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A BOY AND HIS
TRUCK."

Miller /BRIDGE/DENVER

BUT IT MAY TAKE A FEW TRUCKS TO CLEAN
UP THIS MESS. THESE TWO BUSSES ARE
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION
AND AS THE STORM MOVES EAST IT WILL
LEAVE BEHIND EVEN MORE STRANDED
VEHICLES...

Now there's snow and freezing rain from

Nebraska to the Texas panhandle.

An ice storm left a dangerous coating
on roads and brought down trees and
power lines.

(Nats: Shoveling)

While the storm in Colorado makes
shoveling snow a monumental task

SOT: Mark Romalia/Resident

"I'M USED TO THE THREE, FOUR INCH
STORMS OUT HERE, NOT THE THREE, FOUR
FEET STORMS."

Those dreaming of a white christmas got
their wish.

must now answer is whether sending more
troops will help the U.S. win the war?

While the troops assured Gates more
soldiers would help make their job

could keep Iraqi forces from taking the

In all .. eight marines are being

Iraqi civilians last year in the town
of Haditha.

A marine corps squad leader has been
charged with thirteen counts of murder,
accused of telling his squad to shoot
first and ask questions later.

The legal question is about motive,
did the Marines feel threatened or were
these revenge killings...for the death
of a fellow soldier?

(END SOT)

The older stents are just bare
metal. The problem with them is they
can cause scar tissue and lead to
renarrowing of the arteries. That's why
many doctors switched to drug-coated
stents.

While both options put a patient
at risk for blood clots. With drug
coated stents the risk appears to last
longer.

IS THIS HAPPENING SO LATE. WITH BARE
METAL STENTS AFTER 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR
TO STORY WAS OVER AND YOU DON'T SEE
THEM COMING WITH CLOTS THAT LATE IN
THEIR COURSE

(END SOT)

Doctors did notice the risk for
clots increased when patients stopped
taking blood thinning medications
early. If they had multiple stents in
small blood vessels, uncontrolled

diabetes, used tobacco, or had high
cholesterol. But there are still many
unanswered questions.

The FDA is now recommending
doctors keep patients on blood thinners
longer at least a year to keep clots
from forming..

hard way, you should probably leave
climbing down chimneys to Santa.....

Apparently the Clause-wanna be had
a fight with his girlfriend and headed
to a friends house, noone was home so
he decided to try and get in through
the chimney.

Needless to say, he got stuck 8
feet down...neighbors heard him
screaming for help and called police.

Covered in ash, the man was pulled
out and taken to the hospital as a
precautionary measure.
