TheIndyChannel.com - News - Police: Stolen Video Game Machines May Be No Good: "INDIANAPOLIS -- Police say many of the video game systems that were stolen from a warehouse Tuesday night were in the process of being returned because they didn't work.

Authorities said two masked males bound three employees with duct tape before stealing several hundred PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game machines from the warehouse (pictured, left), located in the 3300 block of Pagosa Court.

An employee said one of the robbers had a handgun. No suspects were named Wednesday.

Marion County sheriff's investigators said the machines were at the warehouse because they had been returned, RTV6's Jack Rinehart reported Wednesday.

When the robbers had left, one of the workers managed to call 911.

RTV6 obtained a recording of the 911 call.

'When I came to the door, they pulled my hood over my head and knocked me to the ground,' a worker told a 911 dispatcher. 'Then they duct-taped me up, and I couldn't do anything.'

Police estimated that the robbers were inside the building for 20 or 30 minutes to steal the machines.

The robbers used at least two forklifts to load six pallets onto a waiting truck, police said."

She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

At USDA, the Mouse Is in the House

(washingtonpost.com) : "Employees at the Department of Agriculture's main cafeteria were just sitting down to lunch on Friday when security guards ordered everyone in the huge eatery to leave. Al Qaeda? Bomb scare? No. Mouse droppings. The D.C. Department of Health closed the cafeteria for failing to pass inspection. Yes, the USDA, home to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the meat and poultry inspectors -- the agency that is part of the federal system for protecting the nation's food supply, was in violation of the D.C. Health Code. There were several citations, according to the inspection report, including: 'water leaking excessively' in the ceiling, employees not wearing hair restraints, and inadequate cleaning of the inside of ice machines, cabinets, surfaces and equipment. The biggest problem, however, seemed to be mouse droppings found everywhere -- in the dry storage room, by the salad bar, behind the ovens, near the serving line, ...

BW Online | March 1, 2004 | Software : "As Stephen and Deepa emerge this summer from graduate school -- one in Pittsburgh, the other in Bombay -- they'll find that their decisions of a half-decade ago placed their dreams on a collision course. The Internet links that were being pieced together at the turn of the century now provide broadband connections between multinational companies and brainy programmers the world over. For Deepa and tens of thousands of other Indian students, the globalization of technology offers the promise of power and riches in a blossoming local tech industry. But for Stephen and his classmates in the U.S., the sudden need to compete with workers across the world ushers in an era of uncertainty. Will good jobs be waiting for them when they graduate? 'I might have been better served getting an MBA,' Stephen says."
