A woman and three children also sleeping inside the house were not injured.
There are no suspects in custody, but Hayward Police are looking for a mid-'80s black Honda that they believe may have been involved in the drive-by shooting, Hopfe said.

Called Off the Trail? FBI Agents Probing Terror Links Say They Were Told, ‘Let Sleeping Dogs Lie’
Dec. 19 — Two veteran FBI investigators say they were ordered to stop investigations into a suspected terror cell linked to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network and the Sept. 11 attacks.
In a dramatic interview with ABCNEWS, FBI special agents and partners Robert Wright and John Vincent say they were called off criminal investigations of suspected terrorists tied to the deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. U.S. officials say al Qaeda was responsible for the embassy attacks and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States.

Jim Jones, pastor of the Galena Assembly of God, said a person who claimed to be a 13-year-old male sex abuse victim named Chris Gomez showed up at his church in October. According to Jones, a series of inconsistencies made him suspicious and he confronted "Chris" last week. Chris then confessed that he was really a woman and mother of three children named Birdie Jo Hoaks.
The woman has not been charged in the alleged hoax but the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department is investigating the case.

Posted: March 29, 2004 at 5:28 p.m. BERKELEY (BCN) -- A 21-year-old University of California, Berkeley student who died in his sleep Friday morning after a heavy night of drinking had transferred to the campus as an undeclared junior in August, a university spokeswoman said Monday.
UC Berkeley spokeswoman Janet Gilmore said that Steve Saucedo was originally from Whittier, Calif. but would not comment further on his background until school officials have more information about the case.
Saucedo was pronounced dead Friday morning after a roommate unsuccessfully tried to wake him up shortly before 9 a.m., according to Berkeley police Officer Kevin Schofield.
Schofield said that Saucedo went to bed on Thursday night after having a drinking contest with friends and never woke up.
Fire officials were the first to arrive at Saucedo's apartment in the 2500 block of Regent Street, where he was pronounced dead at the scene, Schofield said.
Officials are waiting for an autopsy and toxicology reports to determine Saucedo's exact cause of death.
No, don't stop. We can just move to a different thread.

BATON ROUGE, La. - People who wear low-slung pants that expose skin or "intimate clothing" would face a fine of up to $500 and possible jail time under a bill filed by a Jefferson Parish lawmaker.
The father of Nick Berg, the Pennsylvania contractor beheaded in Iraq, directly blamed President George W Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for his son's death.
"My son died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. This administration did this," Berg said in the interview with radio station KYW-AM.
...
US Brigadier General Carter Ham said in Mosul that Berg had been held for two weeks, from March 25 to April 8, at the FBI's request for travelling without documents while his identity was checked.
He was eventually released "at the request of the State Department, represented by the Coalition Provisional Authority," Ham said.
Berg's family, whose last contact with him was on April 9, said he was freed only after his parents filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia, contending that he was being held illegally by the US military.
Michael Berg said holding his son without charge for 13 days was "the worst of civil rights abuses and bureaucracy - and I think it's both of those things that got him".

A portable toilet exploded Tuesday after a man who was inside it lit a cigarette.
Emergency workers said the man was not severely injured and drove himself to Clay-Battelle Community Health Center. He was later transferred to Ruby Memorial Hospital. His name and condition were not available Wednesday.
The explosion, which occurred in Blacksville, resulted from a buildup of methane gas inside the portable toilet. The methane did not "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services.

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A Japanese man flying to Ohio was arrested after he was seen writing down the words "suicide bomb," but he was released without charge after explaining that it was an impromptu English exercise.
The 60-year-old man told investigators he came across the words in a newspaper and wanted to look up their meaning, police spokeswoman Alice Casanova said.
"He teaches himself English by reading newspapers," she said. "It was all just a miscommunication."
The man was aboard United Airlines flight 1184 en route to Dayton, Ohio, on a business trip Sunday when a fellow passenger spotted the words and alerted an attendant, Casanova said.
The flight returned to O'Hare International Airport, where the man was taken into custody and all of the other 120 passengers were taken off the plane and rescreened.
Investigators also searched the plane. "Nothing panned out and he was released," Casanova said.
Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Andrea McCauley said travelers need to be mindful of how they behave on airplanes because potential security threats are treated very seriously.
"We caution people not to write about bombs because if they're going on vacation, their travel plans will be disrupted," she said.
PORT OF SWEET GRASS -- A college student from Great Falls was arrested and charged in Toole County Saturday after authorities said he clogged a toilet at the Port of Sweet Grass on the U.S.-Canada border north of Shelby.
Jesse Huffman, a 19-year-old Montana State University-Bozeman student, insists he didn't intentionally stop up the toilet.
In his statement to police, Huffman said he has symptoms of a condition called Irritable Bowl Syndrome and used "at most" a fifth of a roll of toilet paper.
A border officer apparently didn't buy the story, and Huffman faces a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge. If convicted, he could get up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

LOS ANGELES - A jury recommended that a vice president of legal affairs at Sony Pictures Entertainment and his wife should pay more than $500,000 in damages to a woman who claimed that they kept her as an indentured servant.
A jury on Thursday found James and Elizabeth Jackson liable for subjecting Nena Ruiz to involuntary servitude and for negligence and fraud. Elizabeth Jackson was also deemed liable for assault and battery.
"Of course, we're very disappointed in the verdict," said their attorney, Jack Daniels. He said his clients were considering an appeal.
Ruiz, 60, claimed in a Superior Court lawsuit filed last year that she often worked at least 18 hours a day and was forced to do strange household chores such as heating chicken nuggets and cutting up bananas or pears for two dogs. She said she was paid $300 for a year's work at the couple's Culver City condominium.
Ruiz also alleged that she had to sleep in a dog bed and that Elizabeth Jackson repeatedly slapped her and pulled her hair.

Detroit Fights California Bid to Open Car Pool Lanes to Fuel-Conscious Import SACRAMENTO, Aug. 27 - Larry David tools around in one on his HBO series. Cameron Diaz drives one in Los Angeles. So do Leonardo DiCaprio and Rob Reiner. Here in the state capital, top elected officials, including the state treasurer and the leader of the Senate, consider one a must-have environmental credential. Aides to the governor say he will sign legislation approved on Thursday that could allow up to 75,000 hybrid drivers, mainly those behind the wheel of a gas-sipping Prius, to use car pool lanes even when taking to the road alone.
Mr. Schwarzenegger might as well promote a "Buy Japanese" campaign, William C. Ford, Jr., chairman of the Ford Motor Company, said in a letter to the governor. An official with the United Auto Workers National Ford Department also wrote to Mr. Schwarzenegger, urging him to veto the legislation because no American-built vehicle would qualify. The combined offensive nearly killed the bill in the Legislature; it passed the 80-member State Assembly with the minimum 41 votes.
As things stand now, only the Prius, which is so popular that dealerships report months-long waiting lists, and the far-less prevalent Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid would qualify. The Ford Hybrid Escape, an S.U.V. coming on the market this fall, is expected to average 31 miles per gallon on highways. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/28/national/28hybrid.html?8dt

日本では死亡者以外の名前は全て伏せています。 CSUB foreign exchange student killed in I-5 crash The Bakersfield Californian Posted: Wednesday September 15th, 2004, 1:00 AM Last Updated: Wednesday September 15th, 2004, 1:12 AM Three Japanese college exchange students, from Cal State Bakersfield and Bakersfield College, were in a car wreck near Santa Clarita that killed one Sunday morning. Cal State Bakersfield President Horace Mitchell released a statement to the entire campus Monday saying "It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Mr. ★Shinsuke Sato, a CSUB student from Yokohama, Japan, died in an automobile accident early Sunday morning on I-5 near Santa Clarita."
In a release from the university's public information office it said the students were struck head-on by a drunken driver. Cal State Bakersfield student ★Eiji Okuda remains in critical condition in a Los Angeles area hospital and Bakersfield College student ★Tetsuya Nakayama had minor injuries, said Okuda's Bakersfield host Sharon Hoffman.
Hoffman said the three were on their way home to Bakersfield after attending a Dodgers game. The men's Nissan was hit around 2:30 a.m. by a Chrysler driving south in the northbound lanes of Interstate 5, according to the California Highway Patrol. Officers said Ruben Rodriguez, 21, caused the fatal crash just minutes after fleeing from another head-on collision. After hitting the Nissan, Rodriguez struck a third car driven by Kristopher Olin, 32, of Valencia, according to the CHP. Olin suffered minor injuries. Rodriguez, who is from West Hills, was arrested on suspicion of murder, according to the CHP. Hoffman said Okuda would survive, but that the entire incident was really an outrage. "These guys who come over here try so hard. They weren't doing anything wrong," she said. Hoffman said a memorial service is being planned for this weekend, probably Saturday.

Because of a 1999 state law pushed by Korean restaurant owners, Soju has a unique exemption among distilled spirits in California, and spots such as Mutt Lynch's are taking full advantage. (New York has passed a similar measure.)

日本がよく世界から叩かれる性的外国人労働者は、実は在日が斡旋してると言う事が良く解る記事。 Authorities close in on human-smuggling operation Wednesday, October 06, 2004 http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002055254_smuggling06m.html Federal authorities are closing in on a human-smuggling operation involving South Korean immigrants preying on and profiting from other South Koreans. The smugglers ferry their human cargo from Canada through Washington state to Los Angeles and elsewhere, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle. Recruiters court victims through newspaper ads in South Korea and in the U.S., generally charging from $6,000 to $12,000, promising them better lives Brokers in South Korea, Mexico and Canada then arrange international flights to bring the people over from South Korea, the prosecutors said. Drivers pick up "loads" at the borders and bring them into the country. Other brokers arrange temporary housing, or locate jobs: Men often drive taxis; women work as hostesses in "room salons," that is, bars catering to South Korean businessmen. Being a hostess sometimes means providing sex, according to prosecutors. And since these are money-making operations, loan-shark systems are set up for those who need to pay off their smuggling debts, known as "il sunoh ri" in Korean, the attorneys said. In North Central Washington, human smuggling most often has involved South Koreans. "I've noticed a lot lately," said Frank Rogers, sheriff for sparsely populated Okanogan County. Just last month, nine South Koreans, ages 18 to 52, were detained by Border Patrol agents in Oroville. "It was a terrible year," he said. "They were women, for the most part, destined for the sex trade in Southern California, responding to ads saying they'd get them in the country and get them a job for $10,000."

Oprah Winfrey's Negative Remarks about Korean Women Spark Storm http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200410/200410130018.html During a recent episode of her talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Winfrey was discussing women's image and fashion culture around the world when she disparaged Korean women, saying they have "an obsession with plastic surgery." The program dealt with content that suggested Korean women have a unique preference from plastic surgery and an *inferiority complex in which they would like to have Western features. Because of this, the Korean-American community is harshly criticizing the program, and fallout is spreading as some Korean expatriate groups demand a public apology(謝罪するニダ<丶`∀´>!). One Korean student studying in the U.S. said, "The Oprah Winfrey Show is a program with a lot of viewers worldwide, and for it to deal with Korea negatively like this is a big problem.
Korean Pilots Face Crisis over ICAO English Evaluations Many pilots from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are on the verge of being cut out from international routes starting 2008. This is because the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, has decided to evaluate the English conversation ability of airline pilots and air traffic controllers from non-English speaking nations in order to reduce the number of accidents, and those who fail to pass those evaluations would be taken off international lines.
Korean pilots and air traffic controllers cannot shake the stigma of having the worst English conversation skills on the international lines. There is talk that the ICAO's primary target was Northeast Asia, and Korea in particular. This is because of Korea's record of accidents resulting from the poor English skills of its pilots.
During the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, a Korean Air passenger liner was nearly shot down by U.S. fighter jets that had made a sortie after mistaking the craft for a hijacked jet. It was learned that the pilot's poor English skills played a large part in this incident. http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200410/200410150024.html

>>347 In the quest to halt North Korea's nuclear development, there is one bright idea that even Kim Jong-il would not be able to complain about. In "Put Economic Sanctions on Pachinko," psychiatrist Hideki Wada reveals an ingenious plan that would not fall into the diplomatic category of economic sanctions. He got the idea from US Undersecretary of State John Bolton, who in a committee hearing in the US House of Representatives on June 4 spelled out a policy of depriving North Korea of foreign currency. Bolton specified three sources of funds remitted legally and illegally to that country: sales of ballistic missiles and other weapons of mass destruction; sales of illegal drugs; and connections with Japanese organized crime networks. http://www.fpcj.jp/e/shiryo/vfj/03/8_8.html

Korean-American Sentenced As NK Agent A 60 year-old Korean American man named Yai Joung-woong (American name: John) was sentenced Monday to two years in prison at a federal court for working as a secret agent for North Korea. He was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2003.
According to the Associated Press (AP), federal prosecutors alleged that Yai secretly worked for North Korea and sent reports to Pyongyang in January 2003 through coded faxes and e-mails. Yai, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in South Korea, also pleaded guilty to three charges for failing to report to the customs office that he was carrying more than US$10,000 when he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport from a trip to Switzerland in April 2000.

Chai Vang told investigators that members of the party verbally abused him, calling him "chink" and "gook," and that one man fired on him as he was preparing to leave the private estate that was the scene of Sunday's deadly shooting spree.
Chai Soua Vang, 36, was surrounded by angry hunters who found him trespassing on their land on Sunday and at least one called him a "gook, chink, fucking Asian," according to a document filed by investigators in Sawyer County Circuit Court.
Joji Obara was born in 1952 to an impoverished Korean family in postwar Osaka. His father had been a scrap collector, then a taxi driver who worked his way into owning a fleet of cars and a string of pachinko parlors from which he amassed a fortune. Obara, then known by his Korean name Kim. his mother, who still controlled the lucrative pachinko operations, helped bail her son out, at one point paying off a creditor nearly $33 million in cash. Following these business failings, Obara's company reportedly became a front for the Sumiyoshi yakuza. Copyright c 2004 Time Inc.

金の為には自分の子供を売ったり、売春したり、何でも平気でやる韓国人 November 28, 2004 Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-me-orphan28nov28,1,6479167.story Two men in dark suits waited. One, a chauffeur, pried the boy from her. Mee Yeon gave him the bag. Dong Koo screamed for his mother. He began to weep. He cried until he fell asleep in a limousine taking him to his father's mansion in Seoul. "I felt as if my heart was being ripped apart," Mee Yeon said. Then she went to a lawyer's office and collected a check for $68,000. Dong Koo's father was Won Man Lee, a leading Korean industrialist, adoption records show. He founded Kolon Industries Inc., a nylon manufacturer that grew into a conglomerate with annual sales of more than $1 billion. Won Man Lee met Mee Yeon in 1977, when she was a hostess at a yo-jung, the Korean equivalent of a Japanese geisha house. He was 72 and married. She was 18 — slender with long, dark hair and a childlike vulnerability. She became his mistress. Despite their intimacy, she called him "The Chairman." He provided an apartment for her in an exclusive neighborhood of Seoul. Servants brought whatever she desired. In return, she was expected to wear hanbok, the traditional Korean costume, a bell-shaped dress with petticoats and bloomers. She was also expected to be available to the Chairman at his whim. "I didn't start seeing the Chairman because I loved him," Mee Yeon said. "He was like a father figure to me; he just adored me all the time." The Chairman suffered a stroke in 1985, when the boy was 7. The assistant brought Dong Koo to the offices of Holt Children's Services in Seoul, which started Korean adoptions in the mid-1950s. Dong Koo remembers the assistant handing him a black leather bag and saying goodbye. In her early 30s, Mee Yeon became the mistress of a Korean-Japanese businessman.

Union: Meat plants violate mad cow rules Banned brains, spinal cords may still enter food supply By Jon Bonné MSNBC Dec. 20, 2004 http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6738982/ Parts of cattle supposedly banned under rules enacted after the nation's first case of mad cow disease are making it into the human food chain, according to the union that represents federal inspectors in meat plants. The parts include the brains, skulls, spinal cords and lower intestines of cattle older than 30 months. These body parts, thought to be most likely to transmit the malformed proteins that cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, were banned from the human food supply by USDA officials last January.

The Dalai Lama reportedly plans to visit Japan in April. Liu said China has already demanded the Japanese "clarify the news" of the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader's trip. China accuses the Dalai Lama of seeking independence for Tibet _ or trying to split the Chinese motherland. He has said he wants only autonomy for Tibet in order to protect its distinctive Buddhist culture. China opposes trips by both figures to any country that has diplomatic relations with Beijing.
"Rein the horse at the edge of the cliff," a protest leader shouted into a megaphone. "Expel the Taiwan independence element Lee Teng-hui from Japan. Don't allow the splittist Dalai Lama to visit Japan."
HumanTrafficking.com HUMAN TRAFFICKING 101 http://www.humantrafficking.com/humantrafficking/trafficking_ht3/who_traffickers.htm Brokers-> Brothel Operator In New York City and L.A., Korean brokers who have smuggled women illegally into the United States sell the women to a Korean massage parlor operator. The brothel operator buys the value of their smuggling debt, and will require the women to either pay it off, work it off, or a combination of both. Recruiters-> Brothel Operator In Flushings, NY, an area in Queens with a large Korean community, recruiters will go to legitimate Korean massage establishments for women, and may say that the women can make much more money at another job doing the same thing. The recruiter will arrange for the transportation of the women to a Korean massage parlor in another state. When the women arrives, she discovers from the brothel operator that she must pay back the value of the transportation, the lodging and food, and will only receive tips, forcing her to provide sex to customers to make enough money to pay off the debt. An alternate arrangement may involve a recent Korean immigrant arriving in New York or L.A., with thousands of dollars of debt to pay off. A Korean taxi service driver will advise her that the fastest way to pay off the debt is to work at a massage parlor. For a fee, he brings her to a massage parlor, where the woman is pressured strongly to provide commercial sex to the customers or risk being fired

イエール大、日本の犯罪者の三分の二は、在日と部落民によるもの。 ここに書いて有る通り、日本ではタブーとされてるサブジェクトなので、 この研究をしたのはアメリカ人。 Yale University Research Today almost two-thirds of burakumin (pronounced boo-RAH-koo-min) say in opinion polls that they have never encountered discrimination. About 73 percent now marry non-burakumin, and most dismiss the possibility that the Japanese police might treat burakumin unfairly. Social workers say crime is a disproportionate problem among young burakumin, but the issue is so sensitive that no Japanese scholars have conducted research on it. One rare statistical study, conducted by Americans in the 1960's, found that burakumin youths were three times as likely as non-buraku youths to be arrested for crimes. In the buraku of Kobe, the nicest houses -- gaudy American-style homes with wide porches and Mercedes-Benzes in the driveway -- belong to yakuza bosses. As a result, the "success stories" whom children in the buraku see as they grow up are often mobsters. http://216.239.63.104/search?q=cache:nJz9zapwtEEJ:research.yale.edu/wwkelly/restricted/Japan_journalism/NYT_951130.htm+buraku+yakuza+&hl=ja

Saturday, January 8, 2005 Korean national gets jail in brothel case A Korean national was sentenced to eight months in jail Friday for managing a brothel hidden in a Lisbon Falls massage parlor. Doo Ri Kim, 39, apologized in U.S. District Court for violating federal laws that prohibit interstate travel for the commission of crimes and said she welcomed her probable deportation to her home country. According to court documents, Kim entered the United States illegally in 1998 and lived in Flushing, N.Y. She moved to Lisbon Falls last January, where she worked at the Asia Acupressure Therapy Center at 578 Lisbon Road. She was arrested in June. The government charged that Kim collected money from customers who engaged in sex acts with three women who worked there, who were also illegal immigrants from Korea. http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/state/050108lisbon.shtml

中韓のパクリ盗人商法が、米国で年間75万職を失う原因になっている。 本当、何所までも腐った連中だな Intellectual property theft costs 750,000 American jobs a year, according to the chamber. Chinese companies are responsible for 70 percent of intellectual property theft, and they are the target for new moves combatting the flood of fakes American businesses, losing a massive US$250 billion a year to copyright piracy, are taking the fight against counterfeit goods in Asia to the sources of production, with China at the frontline of the onslaught. The problem, he said, had become so serious that in China one may not be able to differentiate between a car produced by the world's biggest automaker General Motors and a fake. "And that is that some folks in China were building cars for General Motors who then found out that four towns away, they were building the very same car with the same brochures, and who could tell the difference?" This year, while expanding lobbying and education in China and Brazil, the chamber will launch education and enforcement programs in South Korea, India and Russia. In South Korea, Washington is seriously concerned that modern copyright protection is lacking in important areas, the report said. Key among these is Seoul's failure to adequately update laws to protect sound recordings against digital piracy. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/worldbiz/archives/2005/01/10/2003218841 http://www.reuters.com/financeNewsArticle.jhtml?type=businessNews&storyID=7274372 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000080&sid=a8uWgUsTXURQ&refer=asia http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6805603/

旦那が自殺したのは、「殺すぞ」と言った後に警察に通報した日本の会社が悪いニダ! 有罪判決=強制送還、自殺したのは、通報した日本の会社のせいニダ! 賠償汁ニダ! Korean Man's Widow Sues Firm; Courts: Wrongful-death action says the employer harassed him over his ethnicity before he killed himself. Company calls the claims baseless K. CONNIE KANG. Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles, Calif.: Apr 28, 2000 Junko Lee's lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, accuses Nippon Express USA Inc., Japanese supervisors taunted and harassed Lee—about his national origin, mocking his Korean accent while speaking Japanese, and commenting about his breath after eating kimchi, saying that the company’s Japanese customers didn’t like that. The lawsuit also charges that Lee’s supervisors made disparaging sexual comments about his wife, a Japanese American, for marrying someone of Korean descent. On July 9, 1999, Lee was fired and arrested for making death threats, though he never went to jail. Lee, a Korean immigrant, was fired and faced criminal charges for making threats against company officials. Conviction would have forced his deportation. ttp://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/53122551.html?did=53122551&FMT=ABS&FMTS=FT&date=Apr+28%2C+2000&author=K.+CONNIE+KANG& desc=Korean+Man%27s+Widow+Sues+Firm%3B+Courts%3A+Wrongful-death+action+says+the+employer+harassed+him+over+his+ethnicity+before+he+killed+himself.+Company+calls+the+claims+baseless.

North Korean Ties Complicate Japan's Efforts to Clean Up Banks The Wall St. Journal http://www2.gol.com/users/coynerhm/north_korean_ties_complicate_japan_banks.htm TOKYO -- To the U.S., North Korea is a member of the "axis of evil," but to Tokyo, Pyongyang is also part of Japan's huge banking mess. Japan is under pressure from Washington to get tough with North Korea, including choking off the flow of funds that ethnic Koreans in Japan send to the North. The funds to North Korea come from Japan's chogin credit unions, chogin literally means Korean bank -- which mainly serve the large community of ethnic Koreans in Japan who are loyal to the North. But many Japanese legislators, among others, allege the chogin have funneled billions of dollars to the secretive communist government in the North. But there are diplomatic costs to consider. Leaning on the chogin could fuel criticism that Tokyo is discriminating against Korean residents, an especially touchy subject. Much of that chogin money have been used by the North Korean government to buy weapons, while the populace has been suffering from malnutrition and even starvation for the past several years. U.S. and Japanese experts on North Korea estimate that anywhere from less than a $100 million to more than $1 billion flows from Japan to North Korea every year. In addition to legal remittances by ethnic Koreans, some of the money is undeclared taxable income.
