I live next to a rental property (a house) that is in horrible condition. I have contacted the landlord and property management company but they refuse to do anything. There is no way I will even be able to sell my house with that mess next door to me. I live in Houston, Harris County. I have not been able to find any online resources or city agencies that might help. The homeowners assoc. doesn't care either so that isn't an option. Anyone have any ideas?

Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who said they hoped to "leverage the Internet" to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.
But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq's secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

UPDATE: Woman dies after van carrying immigrants rolled over
Web Posted: 10/26/2006 05:44 PM CDT
By Mariano Castillo
Express-News Border Bureau
LAREDO – One woman died and about 20 others were injured Wednesday night when a passenger van stuffed with as many as 50 undocumented immigrants rolled over on a Zapata County road.
The Department of Public Safety and Zapata County Sheriff’s office this morning continued to piece together details of the incident, which happened at 6 p.m.
"I have not seen anything like that in my 30-year career," Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said.
The van was speeding along FM 2687, about 12 miles easy of U.S. 83, when a tire apparently blew out, causing the van to roll over, Gonzalez said.
Several of the injured told deputies that as many as 50 people were stuffed inside the van, Gonzalez said.
One unidentified woman was killed, and about 20 were rushed to hospitals in Laredo, Rio Grande City and McAllen.
The event triggered an emergency contingency plan in Laredo called "Operation Rio," where hospitals called in all available resources for mass triage, Laredo Fire Department spokesman Eloy Vega said.
Most of the passengers were ejected from the van, causing head injuries, chest injuries and fractures, Vega said.
The Border Patrol helped transport the injured and used a helicopter to find survivors who fled, spokeswoman Sara Melendez said.
DPS officials said details would be forthcoming as the investigation continues.
No arrests had been made as of this morning, but authorities were looking at a suspect linked with the smuggling operation who was not at the scene, Gonzalez said.

"I didn't really want to get involved in the war," Kerry said in a little-noticed contribution to a book of Vietnam reminiscences published in 1986. "When I signed up for the swift boats, they had very little to do with the war. They were engaged in coastal patrolling and that's what I thought I was going to be doing."
But two weeks after he arrived in Vietnam, the swift boat mission changed -- and Kerry went from having one of the safest assignments in the escalating conflict to one of the most dangerous. Under the newly launched Operation SEALORD, swift boats were charged with patrolling the narrow waterways of the Mekong Delta to draw fire and smoke out the enemy. Cruising inlets and coves and canals, swift boats were especially vulnerable targets.

does the above explain why he wanted out so fast?

Elitists? Surely it's not the industry of all the dems on this board to report people they don't agree with- so it must be a tribe of bitter, lifeless, Billy Goats Gruff terrorizers.
With this in mind, a few lines from some pumpkinsmashers:

( sorry i have to abbreviate to fit all the question there )
i know for a fact that American children are probably the ones with more resources in the world when it comes to education . i also know for a fact that many kids from countries which receive little to nothing from their governments are doing a lot better than those American kids . i am not blaming the kids but i believe that we as a society are failing to first educate them right and that second we are leaving their education on the hands of computers . maybe if we put the resources in the right places we wouldn't even need a computer in the first place , maybe if we made ourselves responsible for their education we wouldn't be looking for excuses .

I have been working in the shipping department for a new aerospace company for the last one and a half years. With this job I am responsible for International Hazardous Material shipments, International palletized Government shipments, many containing millions of dollars in equipment, and also meeting serious fiscal related deadlines. (Besides all the other everyday in country shipments) The company is about 400 to 450 people strong and it is only my boss my coworker and myself in shipping (3 of us). In the past year and a half the paperwork side of the job has increased greatly as well as many other regulations. And to top it all off, I've been bending over backwards to make sure everything gets where it needs to be no questions asked.
What do you think this kind of work is worth?

The amount charged was 898.75 in 3 transations. All at the same place. I closed my credit card acct. today and notified the company that accepted the charges but could not get any information. My bank said they would refund my acct. less 20.00 per transation. I contacted my local sheriff dept. to start an investagation. Any suggestions on anything else I should do. I want to find out who used it and how they got the number. Thanks, Jack
