6-21-11 Today I read an article with the name of Minister cites likely pilot error in Russian plane crash that kills 44. I read that 44 were killed and 8 were injured. The cause of the premature descent is being investigated by the Inter-State Aviation Committee. The so-called black boxes will be recovered and sent to Moscow for deciphering. The recorders will help authorities piece together the final minutes of the flight and possibly tell investigators what caused the plane to go down.I read that the first thing that the plane had contact with was a pine tree of about 15 meters high. This proves that the plane didn't break in mid-air but that all those destructions were inflicted to it as a result of that contact.

Knox has vehemently proclaimed her innocence and her family has continued to fight the conviction.

today iread about, Greece's prime minister was gambling his government's survival and the danger of a devastating debt default on a Tuesday night confidence vote aimed at helping him passing deeply disliked austerity measures that have provoked strikes, protests and a slump in his popularity. If Prime Minister George Papandreou's new government fails to get the necessary parliamentary support in a midnight vote Tuesday, it would throw into question whether it can pass a new austerity bill by the end of the month as demanded by international creditors. Expectations that Papandreou would win lifted world markets. His Socialist party holds a five-seat majority in the 300-member legislature, and a simple majority is needed to pass.

Federal police captured Jose de Jesus Mendez Vargas, also known as "The Monkey," in an operation in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico's national security spokesman said. Mexican President Felipe Calderon praised the capture on his official Twitter account: "A large blow by federal police to organized crime. One of the most wanted criminals was captured. Congratulations." La Familia began operating in the state of Michoacan more than a decade ago, the country's national security spokesman told reporters last year.

Today I read about A member of a Pakistani-based militant group is denying a New York Times report that a cellphone found during the raid of Osama bin Laden's compound contains information that links his group to bin Laden. The member of Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen said he was not aware of support his group gave bin Laden during the years the al Qaeda boss hid at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The statement by the man, who did not want his name used because no one in his group is authorized to speak to the media. The New York Times reported on Thursday that a cellphone belonging to a bin Laden courier contained contact information for members of Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen. The Times report says that Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen also has ties to Pakistani intelligence services.
Tuesday. Today I read about untold stories of the holocaust. Some of the stories never told such as rape. Maybe the victims kept quiet for so long, but maybe reporters or interviewers never asked the right questions. One victim talked about how five men held her down and raped her. They threw alcohol on her and told her she was going to die. Her sister later cleaned her up and they never spoke of it again.
Wednesday. Today I read about the Casey Anthony case. Cindy Anthony stated that she was the one who conducted some searches on her computer of chlorophyll. Because she thought her dogs were becoming drowsy due to bamboo plants she had in her backyard. She also said that she conducted some searches for her friend, but that other searches were conducted by someone else, not her. Casey’s parents do not want her to receive the death penalty, but they do believe she is guilty.
Today I read about the tragic death of Ryan Dunn, a former “jackass” star. He died today early morning in a car crash. A few hours before the 3 a.m. crash, Dunn tweeted a picture of himself drinking with two friends. The photo has been removed. Dunn, a daredevil whose most famous skits included diving into a sewage tank and shoving a toy car into his rectum, was driving his 2007 Porsche in suburban Philadelphia when it went off the road into the woods and burst into flames. A passenger was also killed, and speed may have been a factor in the crash.
Thursday. Today I read about the Casey Anthony case. In today’s trial, the defense is still trying to come up with ways on how the baby could have possible drowned in the pool. Cindy, sarcastically said that how was the baby supposed to grab the ladder to climb in, or open the fence leading to the pool. However the defense kept questioning her, but the judge allowed her not to answer any further. Casey’s brother also took the stand, and said that a stain in the car was there since he owned the car.
Friday. Today I read about the abuse of prescription drugs. Prescription medicine is being abused more than Excstasy, Cocaine, and heroin combined. It is worse than the 1980’s crack epidemic. They say that prescription drugs can be more deadly, and usually lead to addiction. Especially the ones that contain oxycodon.
Juarez is hot spot of Mexican drug violence. "If the criminals resist giving up ... well then there will be incidents of confrontation. Until what point? As long as necessary," Leyzaola said in an interview earlier this month with CNN in Juarez. The gunmen were carrying out extortion on a local business when Leyzaola's patrol coincidentally came across the incident, according to Juarez Mayor Hector "Teto" Murguia.
Today Friday I read about rap during the holocaust . The soldiers had came for her at night and took her to barrack and forced her to watch a woman get raped . The drunken men then set loose a dog to rip off the raped woman's breasts. Blood was everywhere. The woman passed out. But the topic of sexual violence during the Holocaust is fraught with controversy. Some observers believe it's a subject not sufficiently widespread or proven to warrant broad attention. Others fear it's driven by a microscopic view that deflects focus from what needs to be remembered. And still others feel that by pushing the issue, it may harm survivors who've suffered enough. I think that no mater what these people should still go to jail because its really sad .

Two U.S. citizens from Seattle and Los Angeles described as "would-be terrorists" by the FBI have been arrested and charged with plotting to kill Americans enlisting in the armed forces in Seattle. The men were identified as Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, (also known as Joseph Anthony Davis), 33, of Seattle; and Walli Mujahidh, (also known as Frederick Domingue Jr.) 32, of Los Angeles. "Driven by a violent extreme ideology, these two young Americans are charged with plotting to murder men and women who were enlisting in the armed forces to serve and protect our country," When the suspects attempted to recruit a third man, that individual instead went to the police. Acting Assistant Attorney General Todd Hinnen said the threat was averted and the public was not endangered because of the intervention of the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Today Friday I read about Actor Peter Falk, who rose to fame on a shambling manner and a rumpled raincoat as the TV detective Lt. Columbo, has died. He was 83.
Falk died peacefully at his Beverly Hills home Thursday evening, according to a statement released by his friend, attorney Larry Larson. The cause of death was not released.
Though he was a renowned movie and stage actor -- he earned two Oscar nominations in the early '60s and won an Obie (an off-Broadway honor) for his performance in Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh" -- he is best remembered for the polite, raincoat-wearing, Peugeot-driving Los Angeles police detective who always wanted to know "just one more thing."
That line -- which usually meant that the seemingly absent-minded detective was about to outwit his perfect-crime-committing suspects -- became so popular that Falk used it as the title of his memoir.
The character, which originated with "Columbo" writers and producers William Link and Richard Levinson, was given a unique
Friday- today I read about shocking stories about the holocaust and how many women were raped in the camps. They would go for the girls at night and then rape them. These stories are date back about 65 years. They are very rarely discussed but today the silence is lifted about the rape stories of these women.
Today I read about her A former Rwandan minister has been jailed for life for genocide and incitement to rape at the United Nations-backed court for Rwanda in Tanzania. Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, who is the only woman to be convicted by the court, was minister for family and women's affairs in the Rwandan government when some 800,000 people, mainly ethnic Tutsis, were killed in 1994. She was accused of direct and public incitement to commit genocide and of being responsible for rape "as part of a widespread and systematic attack against a civilian population on political, ethnic and racial grounds," the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) said. Her son, Arsene Shalom Ntahobali, a militia leader who was jointly charged in the case, was also convicted Friday of genocide, crimes against humanity including rape and persecution and war crimes, and sentenced to life in prison.
