THE BOOK CENTERS AROUND THE CAPERTON VS. MASSEY CASE WHICH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. IT ALSO COVERS THE UPPER BIG BRANCH MINE DISASTER, WHICH KILLED 29 MINERS, ON APRIL 5, 2010. LEMER SAYS THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE DISATER HAS BEEN SOLID AND THAT A POSSIBLE INDICTMENT OF BLANKENSHIP COULD CHANGE THE POLITICAL CLIMATE IN WEST VIRGINIA. "Some people say why hasn't Don Blankenship been indicted? Well, give it time. Give these lawyers- These serious lawyers time to do their job." "I think if Blankenship was indicted and convicted, and sent to prison, it would be the most positive thing that has happened in this political system in years. There is something wrong with political system from the top to bottom." TO VIEW MORE OF THE INTERVIEW WITH LEAMER... VISIT THE "RAW NEWS" SECTION OF OUR WEBSITE.

Return to Story IndexHEALTH MINUTE:BABY'S MILESTONES
-REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS-- BABIES DEVELOP AT DIFFERENT RATES, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN MILESTONES DURING THE FIRST YEAR THAT PARENTSCAN WATCH FOR. "There can be a range of several months in which the development of a new skill is entirely normal." ONE OF THE FIRST - AND MOST ANTICIPATED - MILESTONES - BABY'S FIRST TRUE OR "SOCIAL" SMILE. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND TWO MONTHS. "A social smile is when you work at it a little bit, and the baby, suddenly, their whole face lights up." AT TWO TO THREE MONTHS, BABIES SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIFT AND SUPPORT THEIR OWN HEADS. AND SOON AFTER THEIR FIRST ATTEMPTS AT TALKING. "A four-month-old will be making AH, EE, OO - those kinds of sounds." ACTUAL WORDS… "Mommy." WILL COME LATER - AT AROUND 12 TO 15 MONTHS. MOST BABIES ROLL OVER AT 6 OR 7 MONTHS OLD, CRAW AT 9, AND WALK AT ABOUT 12 MONTHS. NO TWO BABIES PROGRESS AT THE SAME RATE, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN RED FLAGS THAT MAY INDICATE DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEMS. PARENTS SHOULD CONSULT A DOCTOR IF AT 3 MONTHS THE BABY LACKS HEAD CONTROL AND APPEARS FLOPPY IN PARENTS ARMS, IF THE INFANT DOESN'T SMILE, RESPOND TO NOISE, OR HAS TROUBLE WITH EYE CONTACT. FOR TODAY'S HEALTH MINUTE I'M SUSAN HENDRICKS. -----END-----CNN.SCRIPT----- AND FOR NEW PARENTS.. DOCTORS ARE NOW ADVISING TO START YOUR LITTLE ONE ON SOLID FOODS BETWEEN 4 TO 6 MONTHS..

JUST TWO DAYS AFTER GETTING FIRED.. MILLER SAYS THERE WAS NO POLITICAL AGENDA WHEN CONSERVATIVE GROUPS WERE TARGETED WHEN THEY WENT FOR TAX EXEMPT STATUS, THE AGENCY HAS ADMITTED TO INAPPROPRIATELY SCRUTINIZING TEA PARTY ORGANIZATIONS THAT APPLIED FOR THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. BUT THE IRS LARGELY MAINTAINED A HANDS-OFF POLICY WITH THE MUCH LARGER ORGANIZATIONS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT THAT WERE MOST INFLUENTIAL IN THE 2012 ELECTIONS. ADVOCATES FOR DISCLOSURE WORRY THAT GOVERNMENT REGULATORS WILL BE LESS LIKELY TO SCRUTINIZE THE MORE POWERFUL GROUPS GOING FORWARD FOR FEAR THEY WILL APPEAR TO BE TARGETING GROUPS FOR POLITICAL REASONS.
Return to Story IndexELIMINATE IRS
OUR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT KRISTINE FRAZAO EXAMINES WHETHER WE SHOULD ELIMINATE THE IRS ENTIRELY. (EXTERIORS OF THE IRS) A GOVERNMENT AGENCY IN THE SPOTLIGHT...CAUGHT PLAYING POLITICS WITH POSITIONS OF POWER. IT'S RAISING NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO FIX, SIMPLIFY AND EVEN LOWER THE CURTAIN THE I-R-S AS WE KNOW IT. Pete Sepp/Executive Vice President, National Taxpayers Union "There will always be some kind of federal tax authority. it's something we all have to live with. We don't have to live with one that is so intrusive." PETE SEPP IS EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AT THE NATIONAL TAXPAYERS UNION AND SAYS LIMITING THE POWER OF THE I-R-S SHOULD BE A PRIORITY. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE FAIR TAX ACT OF 2013 WAS INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SOUGHT TO DO JUST THAT, (PULL OUT SUMMARY IN FULLSCREEN) BY REPEALING THE INCOME TAX, SETTING A NATIONAL SALES TAX, AND GRANTING STATES THE POWER TO COLLECT TAX REVENUES. IT WAS CO-SPONSORED BY 63 CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN. AMONG THEM - FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN JOHN MICA, WHO SAYS THE RECENT SCANDALS HIGHLIGHT A SYSTEM FULL OF ABUSES AND THE NEED TO ACT. Rep. John Mica/(R-FL) "Maybe looking at a fairer simpler tax structure with less bureaucracy with less subjective decisions by bureaucrats." FORMER CONGRESSMAN AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE RON PAUL HAS BEEN LOBBYING TO END THE FEDERAL RESERVE, ALONG WITH THE I-R-S, FOR DECADES Ron Paul/Former Congressman (R-TX) and OP Presidential Candidate "The taxes we pay are a symptom of runaway government and that is the problem." Stand-up: Kristine Frazao "As far as solutions - Three times in recent history there have been major changes made to the way the IRS functions: the Taxpayer Bill of Rights in 1988, a revised version in 1996, and The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998. Still, critics say those changes have not gone far enough. Pete Sepp/Executive Vice President, National Taxpayers Union "Our tax system can't be enforced solely thru threats. It's got to be enforced thru people's acceptance that its a generally fair system, one worth complying with voluntarily. TO GET TO THAT POINT, SEPP SAYS, SIGNIFICANT CHANGES OF *SOME* KIND MUST BE MADE. I'M KRISTINE FRAZAO REPORTING SEVERAL LAWMAKERS IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE ARE ALREADY DRAFTING NEW LEGISLATION FOR CHANGES TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. WE'LL FIND OUT IN THE COMING DAYS AND WEEKS WHICH IDEAS HAVE A SHOT AT BRINGING REAL CHANGE TO THE AGENCY.

Oxbow led from start to finish. It was the sixth Preakness victory for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas and 14th Triple Crown victory, most in horse racing history. Orb finished fourth. The Kentucky Derby winner was a 3-5 favorite in Saturday's race, but he became another casualty of starting on the rail in the Preakness. Since 1950, only two horses have won the middle jewel of the Triple Crown from the No. 1 post position.
