California Teacher in Chloroform Case Arrested Again on Explosives Rap
ABC:
A popular California teacher, accused earlier this week of helping students inhale chloroform, was arrested again when explosive material was found inside her chemistry classroom.
A bomb squad detonated a small vial of the highly explosive compound nitroglycerin after it was discovered at Livingston High School, south of Stockton.
Rights group says extrajudicial killings by Venezuela’s police officers escalating
Ortega called the rise in the number of killings part of “a progressive disappearance of institutional conduct” within Venezuela’s municipal, state and federal police forces.
Venezuelans are generally distrustful of police. The government of President Hugo Chavez recently dissolved the Metropolitan Police in the capital of Caracas due to rampant corruption, violent crime by officers and widespread rights abuses.
The government created a new city police force — the National Bolivarian Police — last year as part of an effort to regain the trust of citizens and it plans to expand the force, establishing precincts in other cities.
Ortega’s group is closely examining 81 cases of extrajudicial killings between 2000 and 2009, but rights activists say many more such killings were committed during that period. Provea, another Venezuelan rights group, counted 199 extrajudicial killings between October 2009 and September 2010.
Cofavic’s study said few police officers responsible for unwarranted killings faced prosecution, which Ortega said has spurred an increase in such slayings.
“Less than 4 percent of the cases go to trial in Venezuela and that obviously creates a situation of institutional break down,” Ortega said.
Police responsible for killings frequently threaten or attack the relatives of victims seeking to intimidate them into not reporting the slayings to government authorities, Ortega said.

Steady Decline in Major Crime Baffles Experts
The number of violent crimes in the United States dropped significantly last year, to what appeared to be the lowest rate in nearly 40 years, a development that was considered puzzling partly because it ran counter to the prevailing expectation that crime would increase during a recession.

"The whole new regulatory reform is a joke," Madoff said during a telephone interview with New York magazine in which he discussed his disdain for the financial industry and for its regulators.
