あっひゃひゃひゃひゃ、馬鹿じゃねーの? Korean Automakers Question US Auto Safety Survey Korean automakers expressed doubt Wednesday over a U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) survey that ranked some of the Korean cars being sold in the United States low in terms of driver safety during accidents. The IIHS said it collected data on traffic accidents involving passenger vehicles and small-sized trucks from 2000-2003 on U.S. highways and calculated the death rates of drivers for each vehicle. Hyundai and Kia claimed the survey lacks credibility because it only considers the number of accidents and the drivers who died. http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/biz/200503/kt2005031615453011860.htm
日本人観光客も多数訪れるHollywood & Highlandのトイレで婦女暴行事件 4/16/2005 HOLLYWOOD — Police said Friday they need the public's help to track down a man who sexually assaulted a woman in a public restroom at the Hollywood and Highland entertainment and shopping complex. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/news/041505_nw_assault.html
SoCal mother charged with murder in tot's auto crash death
CARSON, Calif. A Wilmington mother cited previously for not securing her young children in car safety seats is facing a murder charge after her three-year-old son was killed in an accident.
anticipating the woman is Edith Schuth (SHOOF), whose son claims he hid her body in the freezer more than four years ago.
Schuth told investigators he hid the body after his mother died of natural causes on Aug. 15, 2000. He said he was afraid he would be investigated for homicide or abuse, and he also would have to live without his mother's monthly Social Security checks.

The butts sat in an evidence room for years - until one of the suspects, Jin Sig Choi, was arrested in South Korea last year and brought to Bergen County to face charges in the murder of Usung Suh, who was stabbed 11 times during a failed home invasion in 1995. Choi, 43, of New York City, is the second person to be tried for the murder of Suh. The first, Jae Sik Chang, was convicted in 1999 and is serving a life term. A third man, known to authorities only as "Mr. Lee," is still at large. In 1996, investigators received a call from a woman in Tacoma, Wash., who said she recognized Choi and Chang from an "America's Most Wanted" television program. http://www.amw.com/ Chang eventually turned himself in to police in Montana.

Kaichiro Tsunemi, 58, appeared briefly in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Friday on a charge of interfering with a Northwest Airlines flight crew on May 6. Authorities said he went ballistic during the flight that day from Osaka, Japan, to Detroit after finding the hair, and started yelling, swearing and pouring water on the seats and floors. He also threw his hat, blanket, safety demonstration card and magazines into the aisle, bumped a flight attendant and verbally abused someone who was trying to interpret, FBI Agent Edward Wray said in an affidavit filed with the criminal complaint. http://www.freep.com/news/statewire/sw115800_20050514.htm
http://www.decaturdailydemocrat.com/articles/2005/04/29/news/opinion/editorial03.txt The long struggle of a sexual assault victim By JOAN RYAN Martine Savage never imagined herself moving out of California in the middle of her senior year at high school. She left behind her role as Abigail in "The Crucible,'' her spot on the school soccer team, her part-time job at a beauty salon, her friends. She won't be attending her prom or her graduation.
Savage accused three classmates at San Rafael High of sexually assaulting her after a house party on Jan. 15. One was on the baseball team. One on the basketball team. All three were in the popular crowd. Savage wasn't. She is the kind of girl who gets good grades and dresses a little eccentrically and can be abrupt when she's annoyed.

Masahiko Kobayashi, a pathologist from the University of Texas, told the packed courtroom that Ms Blackman’s body had been cut into ten pieces with a toothed blade that sliced through bone as well as tissue. The post-mortem examination carried out on Ms Blackman, who was 21 at the time of her death, also detected traces of the drug Rohypnol. “From the marks on the bones and the fact that large sections were sawn off in one motion, it is probable that an instrument like a chainsaw was used [to dismember the body],” Dr Kobayashi told the Tokyo District Court.

WASHINGTON, June 10 President Bush and President Roh Moo Hyun of South Korea tried today to minimize their obvious differences over how to deal with North Korea, declaring that keeping the Korean Peninsula nuclear-free is what is important.
But Mr. Roh (pronounced Noh) has opposed a move toward sanctions that would cut off trade with North Korea, arguing instead for more engagement with the North. Nothing emerged at the question-answer session today to indicate any lessening of the differences between Washington and Seoul on that point.
(゜∀゜)アヒャヒャヒャヒャ!! Mr. Bush and Mr. Roh exchanged gestures of friendship as they sought to play down their differences.
The South Korean prodded Mr. Bush at one point. "How do you feel, Mr. President," Mr. Roh said. "Wouldn't you agree that the alliance is strong and - ?"
“Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery, and sadly, we see it here in Illinois,” said Governor Rod Blagojevich The most recent case of slavery in Illinois was discovered on February 27 when several federal agents conducted five raids in *Rockford massage parlors where they found “undocumented Chinese and Korean women kept in brothels. The young women worked and lived in small rooms, virtually enslaved, unable to go out to the street.”

Waco, TX (AHN) - A Texas man has received a 99-years, to life in prison, for stealing a cell phone.
Glenn Alvin Reed, 31, was convicted of robbery, Thursday, in a Waco courtroom, for stealing a cell phone from a man's truck, and then beating him after the victim demanded the phone be returned.
It took a jury all of 15 minutes to convict Reed, who has a previous felony record of similar acts of theft and assault of victims.

They ended up in jail instead, courtesy of an elaborate ruse by U.S. federal authorities hoping to bust up an international smuggling ring. Authorities said they seized $4.4 million in high-quality fake $100 bills, more than 1 billion counterfeit cigarettes worth $42 million, and ecstasy, methamphetamine and Viagra worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some of the cigarettes were *made in China, acting assistant Attorney General John Richter said. The money appeared to have been *produced in North Korea, two officials said Agents also seized $700,000 in fake U.S. postage stamps and blue jeans worth several hundred thousand dollars, FBI Deputy Director John Pistole said. Fifty-nine people were arrested during the weekend in 11 cities in Canada and the United States, including Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Newark, Philadelphia and San Diego. Agents posing as smugglers arranged to import the fake cash, cigarettes -- stamped with the Marlboro and Newport brands -- and drugs in cargo containers that arrived in ports in Long Beach, Los Angeles and Newark. Two defendants in New Jersey also were charged with conspiracy to ship $1 million in rocket launchers, automatic rifles and silenced pistols and submachine guns, officials said. The weapons were never delivered, they said. Other agencies involved are the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Secret Service and New Jersey state police.
Recent e-mails and responses to them from customers at Citizens First Bank have prompted warnings to everyone who uses PayPal, eBay or similar Web sites to pay for purchases.
"Customers are getting unsolicited e-mails (supposedly) from PayPal," said Scott Sullivan, chief operating officer at Citizens First Bank. "We get something (from customers) once a week."
These e-mails, which resemble authentic communications from PayPal and have a secure "https" signature in the address, take customers to a fictitious site operated by a Korean company. They usually inform customers that it is very urgent that they provide personal information to the Web site. Stolen personal information, damage to credit and loss of funds are just some of the problems caused by frauds like this. "You get an e-mail that looks like PayPal," Furlow said. "There's a link with a warning saying your account is disabled or your account has been compromised. The Web site (the fake one) actually does a redirect to another Web site in Korea. The Korea site logs into PayPal with your proper credentials. They have gotten smarter and smarter."
Suspects dispute hate crime Both of the accused said that in response the Asian male used profanities and flicked a Dunhill cigarette at them, which hit one the suspects, a 21-year-old male, in the arm. Amused by the gesture, the 21-year old male said he picked up the cigarette and started smoking it. Both admitted to exchanging profanities, but none involving racial epithets. After a few minutes of arguing, the accused said the couple walked around the corner leading them to believe the incident was over. However, the incident escalated when they said the Asian male showed up approximately 45 minutes later with four other male friends. The Asian female was not present.
The accused said that the five men were yelling at them to come downstairs and fight.
When one of the five men below was yelling at them in Korean, the 20-year-old male said, “You are going to have to speak English. I don’t understand you.” To this one of men replied, <丶`∀´>“Why don’t you learn to speak Korean, bitch.” The 21-year-old male said at one point during the exchange, he was referred to as <丶`∀´>“white fat American piggy.”
Rick Chance owned a sleek Mercedes sedan, a speedy Porsche 911 Cabriolet and a $350,000 Rolls-Royce Corniche. The surveillance camera shows Brandi Lynn Hungerford looking relaxed, almost bored, as she and Rick Chance collect two plastic keycards to Room 317 of the Best Western Inn in Tempe. Her left arm is draped along the check-in counter. The time, detectives say, was 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8. In a few hours, Chance would be dead, as much as $1 million in gems and Rolex watches he was believed to be carrying would be missing, and Hungerford and a friend would be on the run. A hot date that Rick Chance had bragged about for days went horribly wrong. Sex changed Brandi Lynn Hungerford's life. South Korean by birth, Hungerford was adopted in July 1977 when she was only a few weeks old by a machine shop supervisor and his wife in Grand Rapids, Mich. She became the second eldest of eight brothers and sisters and grew up in solid middle-class Midwestern comfort. She took a few courses at a state college in Michigan, then moved with her parents to Tempe in 1995 and planned to enroll at Arizona State University. That never happened. Instead, she answered a newspaper advertisement that changed her life and led her to Rick Chance. The ad read simply: "Looking for Models." Hungerford was hired on the spot to work for an "in-call escort service." She was licensed as a personal escort in Maricopa County, using the trade names "Eden" and "Tiara." Her job was to ride with a bodyguard to a hotel room, slip into some sexy clothing, light a stick of incense and do a provocative dance while a client pleasured himself. http://www.azcentral.com/news/famous/articles/1210chance.html http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/classics/rick_chance/3.html Brandi Lynn Hungerford画像 http://www.mugshots.com/Favorites/Brandi+Lynn+Hungerford.htm

Thursday, October 20, 2005 Women were told they might get $800 a day, affidavit says By Ken Kobayashi
Last week, a federal grand jury indicted Wan Yo Kang, also known as "Hannah," identified as the owner, on 11 felony charges of interstate promotion of prostitution, enticing women to travel here for prostitution activity and harboring two women, illegal aliens, at the business' suite.
On Sept. 7, about five days after their arrest, the nine appeared before a federal magistrate in their blue prison attire and accompanied by Korean language interpreters for one of several hearings on their status in the case.
Kang's business is one of an estimated 40 to 50 "relaxation parlors" — offshoots of massage parlors in the early 1990s — according to Honolulu Police Lt. Walter Ozeki. They are generally located between University and Ward avenues, he said.
Honolulu lawyer Pamela Tamashiro represented one of the other women who was released. Her client had planned to voluntarily go back to South Korea, she said.

Such missiles are designed to bring down aircraft. Chao Tung Wu, 51, and Yi Qing Chen, 41, are naturalized U.S. citizens born in China, authorities said. http://www.lawfuel.com/index.php?page=press_releases&handler=focus&pressreleaseid=4675&category=&return=list-publications&sortby=timestamp&screen=1 The new indictment charges Chao Tung Wu, 51, of La Puente, California, and Yi Qing Chen, 41, of Rosemead, California, with conspiracy to import missile systems designed to destroy aircraft. http://www.wpherald.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20051026-095400-3433r The China Xinshidai Group, a conglomerate of several Chinese state-run manufacturers, is accused in a scheme to illegally export Chinese missiles to the United States through organized crime groups. The officials said the missile case developed out of the large-scale federal investigation in Los Angeles known as Smoking Dragon. Mr. Wu was identified in a federal indictment handed up in June as one of four persons linked to a conspiracy to sell high-quality counterfeit $100 bills known as supernotes. The counterfeit notes were produced by North Korea and are the first prosecution of a case involving illegal currency production by the communist country. Operation Smoking Dragon, along with Operation Royal Charm in Newark, N.J., led to the arrests in August of 59 persons -- many of them Taiwanese or Chinese nationals on charges related to counterfeiting, drug trafficking and dealing in contraband cigarettes. The indictments named 87 persons involved in the illegal activities.
1/24/2006 Students: Sexual harassment all too common on campus Sexual harassment is common on campus, according to a national online survey by the American Association of University Women released yesterday, with 62 percent of college students saying they had received a comment or gesture they found inappropriate. Most didn't report incidents to campus employees or other officials.
For a long time, Indiana University senior Haley Pollack, 22, never mentioned the incident four years ago when a graduate assistant told the then-freshman that he would be willing to give her a good grade in her math class if she performed a sexual favor. She didn't but it left an emotional scar.
Nearly a third (32 percent) said they were the target of unwelcome physical contact, such as groping, pinching or sexual assault.
Pennsylvania State University senior Danianne Memory says that's not enough. When a friend's buddy raped her two years ago, the 21-year-old from suburban Philadelphia said she felt she had nowhere to turn.
http://www.klastv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4546288&nav=168Y Yoga Cult: An I-Team Investigation Feb 23, 2006 A hybrid form of Korean yoga has really caught on in America over the past few years. It's called Dahn Hak, and while it's popular with tens of thousands of students, for many, it feels like a religious cult. Dozens of former Dahn students have alleged that brainwashing and mind control techniques are used, along with high-pressure sales tactics. They use something called brain respiration to stimulate and energize the mind. Others say this is a religious cult. Dahn Hak yoga has made major inroads in the ten years since it made the jump from South Korea to the U.S. It now has 147 centers in 14 states, including two centers in Southern Nevada. An estimated 50,000 Americans enjoy the unique blend of yoga, martial arts, and eastern spirituality. Dahn Hak was born in Korea in the mid 80s, created by Il Chi Lee, now known as Master Lee. Lee essentially hopes to change the consciousness of the planet, in part by helping people to make better use of their brains. After getting into trouble in the early 90s for manufacturing illegal health supplements, Lee brought his expertise to a new headquarters in Sedona, Arizona and turned it into a multi-million dollar business empire with legions of devoted followers. But not everyone sees Dahn Hak in a positive light. In fact, many former students believe it's a cult that depends on mind control, brainwashing, and pushy sales tactics to win converts. Cult expert Steve Hassan said, "This is a totalitarian, authoritarian Korean cult that wants you to stop thinking and become a clone." Hassan says he has counseled, and deprogrammed, 14 former Dahn Hak students and that, in his opinion, this organization fits the classic mold. "I see a lot of people after they've left the group. They're still distraught having panic attacks, anxiety attacks, sleep problems, nightmares."
Witnesses told police they saw Yun arguing in Korean with his daughter outside the SUV in the alley. The SUV erupted into flames just moments after Yun forced the girl into the vehicle.
A man who authorities allege burned his two children to death by setting fire to his SUV in a downtown alley had trouble controlling his anger and was experiencing stress from a failed marriage and financial setbacks, according to acquaintances of the suspect. Dae Kwon Yun, 54, was found near the SUV Sunday afternoon with severe burns on his face, hands and legs, authorities said. He was under guard and listed in critical condition at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. He is expected to survive and will be booked for investigation of murder, police said.
Two years ago, Dae Kwon Yun, 54, pleaded guilty to beating his wife, Sun Ok Ma, and was sentenced to two years' probation. Yn and Sun's business was booming. He drove a Mercedes and the family had a home in the affluent Hancock Park area. But the marriage worsened a few years ago, when state and federal tax officials ordered them to pay $100,000 in back taxes, K.C. Min said. Yun was arrested in May 2004 for investigation of domestic violence after a woman called 911 and whispered to a dispatcher that her husband hit her and was still in their home, said Monterey Park police Capt. Eric Kim. Police forwarded that investigation to prosecutors, Kim said, but he didn't know the outcome of the case.

February 21, 2007 Rains unearth sexually explicit tapes 81-year-old arrested after flood unearths old sex tapes
An 81-year-old man was charged with possessing child pornography after a flood opened up a hole near a septic tank, revealing videotapes that depicted the man having sex with children decades before, the FBI announced Wednesday.
Walter C. Stevens is charged with one federal count of possessing child pornography, the FBI said. He turned himself in Wednesday after being told he would be charged, FBI agent Deborah McCarley said.
The investigation began in August, when a flood revealed a plastic bag with the tapes. The resident turned them over to the Sierra Vista police, who called in the FBI when the tapes appeared to contain films of an adult man having sex with minors, McCarley said.
McCarley said Investigators identified Stevens and determined he made the tapes showing him >>having sex with underage Japanese girls while he lived there between 1965 and 1975, McCarley said.
Other tapes allegedly showed Stevens having sex with underage Korean girls between 1975 and 1980 while he lived there and between 1980 and 1986 while he lived in Thailand.
Stevens faces up to 10 years in prison and lifetime probation if he is convicted.

Brave Neighbor Kills 2 Robbers 911 CallPensacola Texas - This brave neighbor notices two men robbing his neighbors house in broad ... It's indeed very brave to chase and gun down 2 unarmed men. ...
A so-called "castle doctrine" law recently passed in Texas allows people to use deadly force to protect their homes and property.
However, a case in which a Houston-area man in his 70's killed two apparent burglars he observed breaking into his neighbor's house has raised new questions about how far that doctrine might extend.
The man called an emergency dispatcher when he first saw the alleged burglars, saying "I've got a shotgun, do you want me to stop them?"
"Nope, don't do that," replied the dispatcher. "Ain't no property worth shooting somebody over, ok? ... I've got officers coming out there. I don't want you to go outside that house."
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/07/washington/07cnd-intel.html?hp Democrats Call for Inquiry in Destruction of Tapes by C.I.A. The videotapes showed agency operatives in 2002 subjecting terrorism suspects — including Abu Zubaydah, the first detainee in C.I.A. custody — to severe interrogation techniques. The tapes were destroyed in part because officers were concerned that video showing harsh interrogation methods could expose agency officials to legal risks, several officials said.
“But that excuse won’t wash,” Senator Kennedy said today. “Does the director believe the C.I.A.’s buildings are not secure? Would it be beyond the agency’s technical expertise to preserve the tapes while hiding the identity of its employees? Does the director believe that the C.I.A.’s employees cannot be trusted not to leak materials that might harm the agency?
“Or does he know that the interrogation techniques are so abhorrent that they could not remain unknown much longer?”
Another prominent Democrat, Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, weighed in with similar remarks. Mr. Levin called the C.I.A. explanation “a pathetic excuse.”
‥The recordings were not provided to a federal court hearing the case of the terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui or to the Sept. 11 commission, which was appointed by President Bush and Congress, and which had made formal requests to the C.I.A. for transcripts and other documentary evidence taken from interrogations of agency prisoners.
The disclosures about the tapes are reigniting the debate over laws that allow the C.I.A. to use interrogation practices more severe than those allowed to other agencies. A Congressional conference committee voted late Wednesday to outlaw those interrogation practices, but the measure has yet to pass the full House and Senate and is likely to face a veto from Mr. Bush.

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York's attorney general and the website Airbnb say they have reached agreement on information disclosures about short-term New York City apartment rentals in the state investigation of illegal hotels. Attorneys say the agreement "balances" Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's commitment to protect city residents and tourists from illegal hotels with the company's concerns about the privacy of thousands who use the website to rent their apartments to visitors. ... State investigators have been seeking information about Airbnb's hosts going back three years, noting many listings appear to offer unoccupied apartments for very short periods, violating rules against unregulated hotels.
A judge last week rejected Schneiderman's request to subpoena information, first filed last year, saying it was overbroad. That request was narrowed and refiled.
WASHINGTON (AP) &#8212; Millions of Americans would no longer get mail delivered to their door but would have to go to communal or curbside boxes instead under a proposal advancing through Congress.
New York City’s police commissioner, William Bratton, made the right decision last month when he said he would disband a unit used by his predecessor, Raymond Kelly, to spy on law-abiding Muslims as they worshiped or patronized businesses in their communities. Beyond proving useless for intelligence purposes, the Demographics Unit undermined the fight against terrorism by alienating Muslims who were understandably angry about being singled out, not for illegal conduct but because of their religious affiliation.
This problem has yet to be fully resolved. As The Times’s Joseph Goldstein reported, the department is still running a program that singles out Muslims in a problematic way, this time to recruit them as informants. The department says the program, run by a squad of detectives euphemistically known as the Citywide Debriefing Team, has led to breaks in important cases. But the department has a long history of trampling on people’s rights during investigations of political activity, while making inflated claims about the value of its intelligence operations.
municipalities are challenging the right of hosts to rent their properties and investigating landlords who list multiple units at once. At stake are millions of dollars in lost tax revenue, not to mention certain regulations and codes that these amateur hoteliers may be circumventing.
In New York City, it is estimated that as many as half of Airbnb 's listings may be illegal, breaking a law that prohibits rentals of fewer than 30 days. If you haven't been following the court battle with New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, the punch line is Airbnb has handed over data on its customers, and the state will investigate anyone who seems suspicious. So stay tuned.

Japanese students said they found Palomar through placement agencies. They hoped to perfect their English and earn course credits with an eye toward transferring, perhaps to a University of California or California State University campus
They were among about 135 Japanese students at the San Marcos school and were staying with host families in the San Diego area, college President Robert Deegan said Friday.
Eight people in a Prelude means that it was loaded in a way it was never engineered for. The handling of the car must have been incredibly bad with that load. Them being Asian played no part in this. However, them being foreigners likely did. Driving in a foreign country is confusing. Your used to the road system of the country you grow up in. Long before you ever drive a car, the layout of the roads and signage are ingrained in your mind. If you don't believe it, go to Ireland or Mexico and try to drive
Izzy 15 hours ago I am Japanese and I can easily assume why this happened - these kids are all freshmen, which means a.) they don't have many friends yet b.) likely inexperienced in driving (you can only get a driver's license after you're 18 in Japan) c.) can not speak English very well yet. Japan is one of the few countries in the world which has left-hand traffic laws and many Japanese have fears driving on the other side of the traffic until they get used to it. The kid who was driving the car was probably the only one out of the bunch who 1) had a license 2) owned a car 3) was confident enough to drive a car in US. That is precisely why they chose to do something unreasonable - 8 people piling into a 4 passenger car. Either way, they should have not done that, and it is unfortunate that they had to pay for it with their lives.

Wallenda's ratings high, but 'Walking Dead' zombies go higher
Emanuel acknowledged that he was taking a calculated risk by allowing the act to take place in the city.
"But in the end, it paid off for Chicago and without a doubt, for Nik," he said.
During Wallenda's brief visit to the mayor's office, Emanuel showed his gratitude by proclaiming Monday "Nik Wallenda Day in Chicago." それでも往年?のCHICAGOの物語を思わせるものがある。。

Before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court legalized same-sex marriage in November 2003, no state permitted such marriages. Today, 36 states do, along with the District of Columbia ― representing more than 70 percent of all Americans. A solid and growing majority now believes in marriage equality; among those 18 to 29, support is at nearly 80 percent.
Now, new DNA analysis of coyote poop shows for the first time that some coyotes in the state of Virginia are also part wolf. Scientists think these animals are coyote-wolf hybrids that traveled south from New England along the Appalachian Mountains.
