| | Chinese authorities bring out the drug-sniffing dogs for Mazda Taiki | | 2008-04-21 06:30:00 | | So you're a customs officer in Beijing, and out of the trailer you're inspecting is hauled a... a what? The Japanese people who have accompanied it, who claim to be from Mazda, also claim that it's a concept car. Frankly, it could also be a submarine, or it might eat people -- or it could be an elaborate ruse for hauling drugs or bombs. So the officials at Beijing airport let the dogs out to sniff for, well, probably everything. Finding nothing, the Taiki was allowed to roll on to the Beijing Auto Show. Nothing in there but coffee grounds, sir, just coffee...[Source: The Tycho][Concept Cars, China, Etc., Mazda, concept, drug, drugs, mazda, mazda taiki concept, MazdaTaikiConcept, taiki] | | By: Car News | | |

| | Spanish Tax Authorities to Probe Real Estate Fraud | | 2008-02-14 17:19:00 | | Spanish tax authorities have started inspecting 82,000 real estate developments for signs of fraud, reported the Spanish daily El Pais.

| | | New York Authorities Catch Man Who Was Involved in Hit and Run Accident | | 2007-08-10 21:08:31 | |
I'll never understand how can somebody have a peaceful night's sleep once they've been behind the wheel of a vehicle that has struck a person or animal.
I believe that if all vehicles made today were equipped with THIS car cam system, the families and friends of hit and run vehicle accidents would never need suffer the agony that they suffering today.
Before you say, "But what if the person who was injured cannot deploy their car cam in an accident?" I have an answer for you...the person in the next vehicle can.

| | The Single Mothers and Children...are Used to the Indifference of the Authorities | | 2007-07-23 14:33:00 | | J. Pat Carter/Associated Press New York TimesWEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 16 — The single mothers and children who fill most of the apartments at Dunbar Village — a housing project on the poor, black, north side of this city — are used to nightly gunfire. They are used to theft, assault, murder and the indifference of federal and local authorities.Citoya Greenwood has asked officials to take action at Dunbar Village, the site of the attack, where she lives with her daughter, Joya.After dark on June 18, the police say, as many as 10 armed assailants repeatedly raped a Haitian immigrant in her apartment at Dunbar Village and then went further, forcing her to perform oral sex on her 12-year-old son. They took cellphone pictures of their acts. They burned the woman’s skin and the boy’s eyes with cleaning fluid, forced them to lie naked together in the bathtub, hit them with a broom and a gun and threatened to set them on fire.Neighbors did not respond to her screams, and no one ca | | By: Elder Abuse | | |
| | Five Young Girls Found Dead -When Authorities Don't do Their Job Innocent People Die | | 2007-07-18 17:30:00 | | Serial Killer Should Have Been deported In 1990, he was charged with the violent rape of his 16-year-old half sister; a charge which was later changed to incest, for which he served a minimal 2 month jail sentence, during which he had to undergo therapy. During therapy, when he was again diagnosed as having an “extremely problematic” personality, it is considered that the authorities were negligent in not recognizing the danger. He was only classified as a level I, or low risk sex offender. Following his jail sentence, Adhahn worked in the food industry, for American Nicheri Food and as travelling delivery man for Pizza Hut. His next conviction was for intimidation with a deadly weapon in 1992. This, being his second conviction ought to have resulted in Adhahn being deported to Thailand, though because of legal technicalities like not regarding incest as a felony, merely a “crime of moral turpitude”, it would take a second offence to effect deportation.

| | Internet Scams Rise : Authorities Lack Inclination to Curtails This Kind Abuse | | 2007-06-22 14:00:00 | | But there's no one way that people try to take advantage of the elderly. Greenwood described a contractor scam, in which contractors tell elderly homeowners that they need crucial structural work done immediately and if the owner will just write a check, the contractor will fix it. Or there's the salesmen who persuade 85-year-olds to purchase 10-year annuities—a legal transaction, but perhaps not practical. But Kulinski, Cartier and Greenwood all spoke to CityBeat about the "in" con: The Canadian Lottery Scam.The grift runs like the Nigerian scams so common over e-mail. An elder—let's call her "Ethel"—receives a letter congratulating her on winning the Canadian lottery. The envelope contains a check for the first payment, but to get the rest, she needs to pay the taxes on it. To find out how best to pay the taxes, all Ethel need do is call the number in the letter to figure out where she should send the tax payment. Naturally, even if Ethel sends the money, she will never rece | | By: Elder Abuse | | |
| | TURKMENISTAN: The Turkmen authorities Invites TNK-BP and LUKOIL | | 2007-06-16 17:08:00 | | Turkmen authorities have announced the readiness of TNK-BP and LUKOIL to take part in the development of gas and oil deposits in the country. LUKOIL has been offered three blocks on the continental shelf. This is the first time that TNK-BP's interest in Turkmenistan has become known. Observers suspect that new President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov's desire for investment, rather than the Russian companies' desire to development Turkmen deposits that motivated the decisions. The announcements were made by the president's press service. LUKOIL confirmed that its president, Vagit Alekperov, had been in Ashgabat, but a source in the oil company said that “they hurried with the announcement about the lots on the shelf.” TNK-BP representatives, including chairman Robert Dudley and executive director German Khan, were in Turkmenistan Monday and Tuesday. That company has no foreign assets. It is about to lose the Kovykta deposit, one of its largest domestic assets. However, this is | | By: energy BLOG | | |
