A Chinese-Mexican businessman arrested after police found a $205 million stash of cash in his Mexico City mansion has told U.S. prosecutors he sold tons of a chemical used to make methamphetamine on the black market, a top Mexican official told The Associated Press.
Zhenli Ye Gon's lawyers, who are fighting efforts to extradite him to Mexico from the United States, vehemently deny their client admitted anything illegal and call the report misinformation intended to sway public opinion against him.
The case against Ye Gon burst open in March 2007 when police raided his house in Mexico City's fanciest neighborhood and found more than $205 million in cash -- mostly in $100 bills -- stuffed into a closet and a wall. It was the largest drug-related cash seizure in history.
Two months after the interview, Ye Gon was arrested at a restaurant in Maryland and charged in U.S. federal court with conspiracy to import drugs into the United States.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan threw out the case in August after one prosecution witness recanted and another refused to testify. Sullivan, who had criticized prosecutors for taking months to reveal the witness problems, ordered that Ye Gon never be charged in the U.S. again.
He remains in a prison in suburban Washington as he battles extradition.
Prosecutors in Mexico believe their case is much stronger because they won't have to prove Ye Gon conspired to move the drugs into the United States. Mexican prosecutors are hoping Ye Gon's conversations with U.S. prosecutors can be used as evidence in Mexico. Why not deport him to China? I hear they handle drug dealers ...
The accusations revolve around 96 tons of chemicals Ye Gon imported from China in 2005 and 2006. Ye Gon, who owned a pharmaceutical factory west of Mexico City, told the AP that import records prove they were legitimate chemicals intended for use in cold medicines.
Mexican prosecutors say he never made any medicine, instead using his factory to transform the chemicals into pseudoephedrine and selling it to drug gangs for hundreds of millions of dollars for use in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

The Chicoms would probably give him a hero's welcome. Yes, they shoot druggies in China but I doubt if they have any qualms about exporting the $h!t to our country.
In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better." Yaas, yaas. You are vegetarian, I presume?
"I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student." Gives you a dreadful hangover these days, right? Ah, lost youth. But duty and right thinking beckon, I'm sure.
"People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food." Is it charred on the outside and cool pink in the center?
Lord Stern, a former chief economist of the World Bank and now I. G. Patel Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics, warned that British taxpayers would need to contribute about £3 billion a year by 2015 to help poor countries to cope with the inevitable impact of climate change. Patel, Patel. Sounds Indian. That would be one of the countries under consideration, no?
Up to 20,000 delegates from 192 countries are due to attend the UN conference in the Danish capital. Its aim is to forge a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sufficiently to prevent an increase in global temperatures of more than 2 degrees centigrade. 20,000! I assume no meat is being served. Har Har. Talk about your carbon footprint. I suppose they'll complain about everything except the food, wine, accomodations, and conference air transport. Haven't all these delegates heard about video conferencing ...

* TURKEY + HAM IS GOOD FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON. + LEFTOVERS.
* BEEF, FISH PROTEIN = MEATS WILL MAKE YOU STRONG.
et al.
So that we the [then]Kidz of America = Amerika can all grow up to be DOCTORS, LAWYERS, ASTRONAUTS, + POTUS OF THESE UNITED STATES.

Remember that Science Museum "Count Me In" poll?
Back at the Science Museum âs opinion poll referred to above, correspondents have noted strange goings on. On Friday The Englishman noted that voting was about four to one against. Derek Reynolds in correspondence noted that by Sunday morning it was approaching six to one against, which corresponds to your bending authorâs recollection. Quite suddenly the votes have become almost even. Far be it for us to suggest that there is anything of an ichthyoid malodour about this, or that it is in any way comparable to any recent election in an Islamic republic, but Sunday night is a very unusual time for such intense activity on the internet. If such movement occurred in a publicly quoted share price the regulatory authorities would be sniffing around in no uncertain manner.
#21
The numbers at prove it have been completely reset recently
Yup, and the early returns on the reset were showing ten to one against. I guess the staff didn't like that, either, because now it's back to 5441 for, 6756 against again, and increasing slowly. I'd love to have a time series of this data.
These people have no shame - the poll webpages are totally tendentious.

Sigh. We are a carbon based life form living in a carbon based world. We consume carbohydrates to survive. We exhale carbon dioxide with every breath.
We would do just as much by outlawing all non essential physical activity. Walking, running, all sports, football, peace matches, protests, exercise of all kinds. Get rid of all non contributing life forms, pets, fluffy bunnies, CNN anchors, politicians.
(CNN) -- Law enforcement authorities have recovered 52 children and arrested 60 pimps allegedly involved in child prostitution, the FBI announced Monday.
More than 690 people in all were arrested on state and local charges, the FBI stated.
The arrests were made over the past three days as part of a nationwide law enforcement initiative conducted on the federal, state and local levels, the bureau said.
"Child prostitution continues to be a significant problem in our country, as evidenced by the number of children rescued through the continued efforts of our crimes against children task forces," Kevin Perkins, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division, said in a written statement.
"There is no work more important than protecting America's children and freeing them from the cycle of victimization."
The three-day operation, tagged Operation Cross Country IV, included enforcement actions in 36 cities across 30 FBI divisions nationwide. It is part of the FBI's ongoing Innocence Lost National Initiative, which was created in 2003 with the goal of ending sex trafficking of children in the United States.
The initiative, conducted with assistance from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, has so far resulted in the recovery of almost 900 children, according to the FBI. It has also led to more than 500 convictions.
Nine hundred?1? Boil the exploiters in oil, an inch deeper every ten minutes.

Astounding stats I heard on the new today--thought to be 100,000 children exploited in the US alone, made worse by the recession. Parents apparently sell their own children out or can't adequately supervise/care for them.
Three years ago, Chris Canning got a kick out of sitting on his patio, watching iguanas crawl from nearby brush and scurry over to Pradera, the community across the retention pond from Canning's townhome in L'Ambiance.
"Now it's not so amusing because they're coming to our side," said Canning, 69, who has lived in his home in the Via Verde area for 20 years. "They will just eat [my landscaping] down to the nub. Plus, they crawl on it and break it. You'll be left with sticks."
The exploding iguana population prompted Canning this month to e-mail Mayor Susan Whelchel, asking for the city's help in combating the pesky creatures that feast on bushes and flowers and then defecate, up to a pound a day, on rooftops, boat docks and driveways.
At the Oct. 14 City Council meeting, Whelchel asked if the city has a policy on iguana management. It doesn't. The mayor wants to change that and plans to address the iguana situation again at Tuesday's council meeting....

Have family in the area. They say on the golf courses some of the lizards have grown to the size of small alligators (5 to 6 ft from nose to end of tail). Problem is that there are no natural predators to keep them in check and they're evolving to fill the old alligator niche. The animal control folk aren't up to it. Time to license some authorized hunting.

ain't it funny how everyone who wants to bring about the brave new feudalist-in-so-cial-ism-clothing world turns out to be uniquely badly equipped to handle that world?
When Communists rule the desert, a sand shortage is sure to develop.
A nation built atop a sea of energy is struggling to keep the lights on.
Demonstrators angrily brandish surge-damaged blenders, televisions and stereos outside the offices of Venezuela's state utility company. Others burn electricity bills in the streets to protest recurring blackouts.
A record drought and years of poor planning have made blackouts and water shortages an increasingly frequent fact of life in much of oil-rich Venezuela, prompting protests that have President Hugo Chavez scrambling for answers.
The leftist leader is using his near daily televised speeches to urge Venezuelans to turn down their air conditioners and abandon their swimming pools. He's even lectured the country on the bracing virtues of a cold, three-minute shower.

But perhaps donating some more oil to New England will help. Who is more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?
The nephew of interim Honduran President Roberto Micheletti has been shot to death execution-style, police said Monday.
There is no indication that Enzo Micheletti's killing was related to the June 28 coup that brought his uncle to power, police spokesman Orlin Cerrato said. Enzo Micheletti, 24, was not known to be involved in politics.
The young man's body was found Sunday in the woods in the northern city of Choloma, police said. He had bullet wounds to his head and chest and his hands were tied behind his back. The body of another, unidentified man was found nearby.

It sounds to me like McDonalds International is run by a bunch of blinkered inflexible jackasses. Why the hell would you run your food distribution for the North Atlantic from *Germany* of all places? I can see why you wouldn't want to single-source from the US - there's always the chance of an over-expensive dollar making a mess the same way the euro is doing to these McDonalds franchises. But rigid single-sourcing from Germany, which isn't even a competitive agricultural supplier? Madness.

When the Pay Czar caps salaries but ignores one of the most guilty parties for the economic damage to the country,..
The pay package given to Freddie Mac's new chief financial officer should have sent a message from Washington to corporate America about how executive compensation standards must change. Instead, it did just the opposite. The government-controlled mortgage finance company is giving CFO Ross Kari compensation worth as much as $5.5 million. That includes an almost $2 million cash signing bonus and a generous salary that could top $2.3 million.
its all about rewarding friends and punishing enemies. Happy hunting Mr. Greenberg.
The decline in U.S. newspaper circulation is accelerating as the industry struggles with defections to the Internet and tumbling ad revenue.
Figures released Monday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations show that average daily circulation dropped 10.6 percent in the April-September period from the same six-month span in 2008. That was greater than the 7.1 percent decline in the October 2008-March 2009 period and the 4.6 percent drop in the April-September period of 2008.
Sunday circulation fell 7.5 percent in the latest six-month span.
As expected, The Wall Street Journal has surpassed USA Today as the top-selling newspaper in the United States. The Journal's average Monday-Friday circulation edged up 0.6 percent to 2.02 million -- making it the only daily newspaper in the top 25 to see an increase.
USA Today saw its worst decline ever, dropping more than 17 percent to 1.90 million. The newspaper has blamed reductions in travel for much of the circulation shortfall, because many of its single-copy sales come in airports and hotels.
The New York Times stayed in third place at 927,851, down 7.3 percent from the same period of 2008.
Newspaper sales have been declining since the early 1990s, but the drop has accelerated in recent years. Part of this is because newspapers have stopped serving harder-to-reach areas and limited circulation to their core regions.
In many cases, people simply aren't buying print copies as much as they used to, given the abundance of free news on the Internet, often from the newspapers themselves. This has prompted newspapers to consider charging fees for Web access, but it could prove difficult to persuade people to pay for something they are used to getting for free.
Newsday, a Long Island daily, said last week that it plans to start charging people who don't subscribe to its print edition $5 a week for access to its Web site. Newsday's circulation dropped 5.4 percent in the latest reporting period, to 357,124.
Of the top 25 dailies, the San Francisco Chronicle saw the worst circulation decline, falling 25.8 percent to 251,782. The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., and The Dallas Morning News both fell 22.2 percent.
Of all the newspapers with a paid circulation of more than 50,000, the York Daily Record in Pennsylvania saw the biggest increase -- rising 16.5 percent to 55,370.

Last paragraph:
"A few newspapers, mostly smaller ones, added subscribers during the reporting period. Of all the newspapers with a paid circulation of more than 50,000, the York Daily Record in Pennsylvania saw the biggest increase -- rising 16.5 percent to 55,370. The newspaper's publisher and managing editor didn't return messages Monday."
So no telling who gained, but some other than WSJ gained.
I wonder if there is a pattern to gainers/losers.

Sunday editions usually carry coupons that pay for the cost of the bird cage paper they come with. Now if someone can Craiglist [implementation and wide spread adoption] that function, the dead tree media is in for a unrecoverable steep dive. Given the economy, there's an opportunity for someone to divert that advertising money from the papers.

I think there are still a lot of people who want newspapers. These are the people who are uncomfortable with computers. I should know. I'm married to one. Dunno how long these types will be around in sufficient numbers to keep the dinosaur media viable but I'd guess twenty or so years anyway.

It is not the medium that is in trouble it is the message that is in trouble.
The further left Chicago's papers went the more their circulation declined. Solution: try reporting the news factually and keep opinion to the Editorial and Op-Ed pages. Which is what the WSJ does.

It doesn't help the Leftist media that they managed to persuade their increasingly gullible rump of readers that, in electing Obama, the world would be largely without significant concerns.

[Al Arabiya Latest] The genocide trial of Radovan Karadzic started on Monday with a battle of wits between the Bosnian Serb leader and the United Nations court as he boycotted the hearing, delaying proceedings.
Thus teaching him that he can keep boycotting and keep delaying the proceedings ...
Facing 11 charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity during the 1992-95 Bosnian war in which 100,000 people were killed, Karadzic faces a life jail term if found guilty.
The Bosnian Serb leadership has achieved notoriety in history because of the Srebrenica massacre of 7,000 Muslim men and boys and the siege of Sarajevo in which another 10,000 were killed.
Do the proceedings in Texas. I guarantee they can reach a fair verdict, and quickly.

AN asteroid exploded over Indonesia with the force of three Hiroshima bombs - and no one on Earth knew it was coming.
The New Scientist website reports the dramatic explosion over South Sulawesi, Indonesia, on October 8 underscores how blind humanity is to the danger of giant space rocks.
NASA estimated the explosion was the equivalent to 50,000 tons of TNT, making it one of the largest asteroid explosions ever observed.
However, this time we were lucky - the blast caused no damage on the ground because it occurred at high altitude, 15 to 20km above Earth's surface.
While the explosion was heard by witnesses in Indonesia and picked up by international nuclear explosion detectors, the asteroid only became visible after it exploded.
Video images of the sky following the event showed a dust trail characteristic of an exploding asteroid, according to the New Scientist.
Researchers believe the asteroid was about 10 metres wide - too small for even our most powerful telescopes to spot.
But Tim Spahr, director of the Minor Planet Center, in the US state of Massachusetts, warns even an asteroid of this size could cause a lot of damage on the ground.

Japan's major nuclear reactor manufacturers have begun developing small nuclear power systems for both developed and emerging countries, a report said on Saturday.
Toshiba Corp. is developing an ultra-compact reactor with an output of about 10,000 kilowatts and has started procedures for approval in the United States, the Nikkei business daily said.
The new reactor, the Toshiba 4S, is designed to minimise the need for monitoring and maintenance, with an automatic shutdown function to ensure safety in case of problems, the newspaper said.
Toshiba plans to market the reactor first in the United States, while foreseeing demand from emerging countries in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe as well as in Africa, it said.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. has separately completed the concept design for a pressurised-water reactor with a power output of around 350,000 kilowatts, the Nikkei said.
Hitachi Ltd. also aims to develop a boiling-water reactor with a capacity of 400,000-600,000 kilowatts for use in Southeast Asia and other countries, it said.
Demand for nuclear power stations has been growing around the world. A total of 151 were under construction or slated for construction in 27 countries as of the end of 2008, it said.

The demand for these reactors seriously exceeds supply, and a lot of manufacturers want in on this deal. Some of the competitors include Babcock and Wilcox, Hyperion Power, and NuScale Power, each of whom have their own designs.

There is a new president and a new NEA. The president first. This is the first president that actually lets Bill Ayers ghostwrite his books writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to have found a really talented ghostwriter write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists.
Candidate Obama was the first in my memory to establish an arts advisory committee and the first to propose an arts policy. President Obama followed that up by making a surprising, leftist out-of-left field choice to head the NEA, a signal I certainly took to mean he wasnt interested in business-as-usual for the arts. Not long ago he even referenced the NEA when talking about the budget deficit issue. He said, in a speech at Georgetown University: Lets not kid ourselves and suggest that we can solve this problem by cutting the budget for the National Endowment for the Arts.

I don't know if this guy wrote any books, just a couple of chapters. He did do his writing after Theodore Roosevelt.
I went in expecting to find them all in a dither of effort, engaged in the positive business of getting the troops, supplies, et., that will be needed to settle the Korean mess. They seemed indecisive, which was natural in view of the indecisiveness of political statements. I have no business talking about the basic political decision (to support or not to support South Korea). It happens that I believe we'll have a dozen Koreas soon if we don't take a firm stand, but it was not on that basis that I talked to my friends. My whole contention was that an appeal to force cannot, by its nature, be a partial one. This appeal, having been made, for God's sake, get ready! Do everything possible under the law to get us going.
An earlier chapter had something about soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied expiditionary force.
I would think the steward of the arts would know this little bit of information.
Maybe he is onto something here, how did this most talented scribe form and grow?
Maybe, just maybe, without the NEA this good enough for government work master of arts may have gone into engineering and designed bridges and airplanes.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better."
