"Russia Angered by Extradition of Former Minister to US"
By Sergei Blagov
CNSNews.com Correspondent
October 04, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Moscow (CNSNews.com) - Moscow says a decision by the Swiss government to extradite a former Russian atomic energy minister to the United States to face criminal embezzlement charges may be detrimental to its national security.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said the Swiss Justice Ministry decision to extradite Yevgeny Adamov was politically motivated and "contradicts legal and objective considerations."

It said Adamov, as a former member of the government, had immunity against criminal charges brought by any foreign state concerning his activities while in office.

Adamov was arrested in Bern last May at the request of the U.S. Justice Department, based on a U.S. District Court warrant.

The 66-year-old is accused of embezzling up to $9 million provided by the U.S. Energy Department to Russia to improve security at its nuclear facilities.

He has been indicted on charges of money laundering, tax evasion, conspiracy to transfer stolen funds and conspiracy to defraud the U.S.

Now that Switzerland has decided to extradite him, the Russian has 30 days to appeal to the Swiss Supreme Court. Russian media say he has begun a hunger strike in protest.

Russia earlier urged Switzerland not to send Adamov to the U.S. without its go-ahead. It argued that Adamov's detention violated international law."

"Bird-flu warning triggers action"
By Marguerite Higgins
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
October 4, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The United States is responding rapidly to concerns about a possible outbreak of avian influenza, awarding a spate of contracts over the past few weeks to stockpile flu-fighting vaccines and drugs.

The World Health Organization, the public health arm of the United Nations, predicted this summer that bird flu will likely become the first human-flu pandemic since 1968."

I don't know what's going on with trains in Chicago.

Here's a "new" incident which happened last Thursday, yet this is the first I heard of it:
***
Metra suspends speeding engineer
Train exceeds limit at fatal-accident site
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0510040227oct04,1,1658815.story?coll=chi-news-hed

A Metra engineer has been suspended without pay after he sped through the South Side site of a recent fatal train derailment during an afternoon rush hour last week, causing passengers to file complaints, a Metra spokeswoman said.

The southbound train exceeded the 20 m.p.h. speed limit on a section of track that was installed after the Sept. 17 derailment just south of 47th Street near the Dan Ryan Expressway so trains could go around the accident site, Metra spokeswoman Judy Pardonnet said Monday.
(snip)
The incident happened Thursday on train No. 411, which departed LaSalle Street station at 4:57 p.m. Pardonnet said the engineer and conductor were taken off their jobs that day, but she didn't know how Metra learned of the incident.
(train #411...hmmmm.)(snip)

Another copy of the jobs for terrorists tape.

I sure hope the recipient e-mails are being re-routed to the FBI. ;-)

On the lighter side, I ran across this site and although certainly a "lefty" site....it still cracked me up:
