Delhi gang rape: India grieves victim's demise Last Updated : 29 Dec 2012 08:31:10 PM IST File Photo
Thousands joined protests across the country to voice their grief for the victim of a gang-rape after she died in a Singapore hospital on Saturday as police warned the six suspects could face the death sentence.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh led appeals for calm and police sealed off large parts of downtown Delhi, in the wake of an outpouring of anger that followed the December 16 assault.
The demonstrations passed peacefully, however, as mourners vowed the 23-year-old medical student's killing would serve as a tipping point for how the nation deals with violence against women.
The victim's gold-coloured coffin was prepared in a funeral parlour in Singapore, ready to be flown back to India, accompanied by her parents who were at her bedside when she was pronounced dead at Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital before dawn.
Draped in a white flag, it was finally driven out of the Hindu Casket funeral home shortly before 9pm and was believed headed for the airport.
Protestors who gathered in the Jantar Mantar thoroughfare in central Delhi, scene of the largest protest, said the unnamed student's death was a wake-up call for a country in denial about the levels of violence that women face.
Bela Rana, who was among more than a thousand protestors in Jantar Mantar, said the outrage after the attack represented a sea change and that women were no longer prepared to suffer in silence.
"We are aware that this is not the first case, nor will it be the last case of gang-rape in India, but it is clear that we will not tolerate sex crimes anymore," said Rana, a Delhi-based lawyer.
After previous protests had been broken up by riot police, Saturday's passed off peacefully.
However when the chief minister of New Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, tried to join the crowds she was roundly heckled and quickly withdrew.
Some of the protesters, who also gathered in outlying areas of the capital, carried banners that read "Hang the Rapist", accompanied by a picture of a noose.
While the six men who had already been arrested have yet to be formally charged, they are now the subject of a murder investigation.
"We have booked all the six accused under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. It is a non-bailable offence which carries the death sentence," police spokesman Rajan Bhagat told news agency.
Dharmendra Kumar, one of Delhi's most senior police officers, said formal charges were expected to be filed by January 3.
The police have been heavily criticized for their hardline tactics in trying to quash the protests, including the frequent use of teargas and water cannon.
Gang-rapes are a daily occurrence in India and many go unreported by victims who have little faith in an often painfully slow justice system and are deterred by the response they can receive from male police officers.
But the particularly savage nature of the attack in Delhi has brought simmering anger to a boiling point and prompted the government to promise better security for women and harsher sentences for sex crimes.
After boarding a bus on December 16, the student was attacked by the men who took turns raping her and assaulted her with an iron bar before throwing her and her male companion off the moving vehicle.
"We have already seen the emotions and energies this incident has generated," said Singh.
"These are perfectly understandable reactions from a young India and an India that genuinely desires change."
His comments were echoed by Sonia Gandhi.
"As a woman and mother, I understand the pain. Her fight will not go in vain," said Gandhi.
After the death was announced in Singapore, the Indian high commissioner TCA Raghavan spoke of the ordeal endured by the family of the victim, who hail from a rural Uttar Pradesh.
"They have repeatedly asked me to say how inspired they are by the many messages of support and condolences they have received," he said.
"This reinforces their view that the death of their child will lead to a better future for all women in India and in Delhi."Source: IANS, Other Agencies, Staff Reporters

Hey guys,

Thank you and I look forward to seeing what you more experienced guys have to say, I am sure this is a minor issue.

Dell Renews Recall of Risky Notebook Batteries
The computer manufacturer Dell has announced a further recall of potentially dangerous notebook batteries. The recall of the Sony built batteries began in 2006.
According to Dell, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission informed them of the continued risk. "Under rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire." says Dell. Sony has implied that worldwide up to 300 defective batteries, built by Sony between November 2004 and April 2005, could still be in circulation.
Dell's Latitude and Inspiron notebooks would seem to be most at risk, with some of the batteries being shipped as secondary replacements.
The Dell Battery Return Program website, gives information on identifying the faulty batteries and a detailed list of affected notebooks. Customers who checked their batteries at the last recall are urged to check again. Dell will provide free replacement batteries for those returned.

'Lost': 10 Who Could Be 'Jacob'
Mystery solved! Sorta. We now know that the numbers in the all-important Valenzetti Equation each stand for a potential Jacob replacement. Who should get the gig? Doc Jensen and Co. weigh in
Slide 1 of 10
CANDIDATE NAME: LockeNUMBER: 4MOST LIKELY: John Locke WHY HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT JACOB: He loved the Island, believed it was his destiny to be there, and can handle a diet of boar meat and palm frond water. WHY HE SHOULDN'T BE THE NEXT JACOB: Easily manipulated by anti-Island smoke monster and can be easily distracted with button pushing. If his father should pop up as a ghost, he might get flustered. Or crippled. Oh, and he's dead. —Jeff Jensen

Bulletproof, Mobigame's newest offering, has gone live in the app store. Mobigame has teamed up with La Chose and Amnesty International for this release, with all proceeds going to the charitable organization that fights for human rights across the globe.
Bulletproof Pros:
- Nice graphics that create appropriate atmosphere
- Clear sound effects for gun shots and bullet impacts
- Simple control scheme that works very well
- Promotes a worthy cause
Bulletproof Cons:
- Last couple of levels are extremely difficult
- Would like a little more info in-game about Amnesty International
Bulletproof opens with a cinematic scene of a prison where individuals are bound and made to live in squalor. Guards enter a cell and beat on one of the inmates before dragging him out to face a firing squad. This is where the game takes over. Your task is to stop the bullets fired at you from the firing squad. A number of armed guards stand in a row and fire bullets in random places at random times, with no 2 games ever being the same. There are 10 levels of increasing difficulty. As you progress, you must stop more bullets with fewer allowable impacts. The opening stage only contains one guard and asks you to stop 5 bullets while only allowing 6 impacts before you fail. Each time a weapon is fired, a yellow target appears on screen, shrinking to a smaller circle as the bullet gets closer. You must tap the center of this yellow circle to divert the bullet and save yourself. If you mis-tap or fail to stop a bullet, it causes a very cool glass-breaking mark on the screen, which remains to obscure your vision for the rest of the round.
The first 3 easy rounds allow 6 impacts while adding additional guards and asking you to stop 5, 20, and 30 bullets. The next 2 medium rounds allow 5 impacts while requiring 40 and 50 bullets to be stopped. Round 6 drops the impacts to 3, but only asks you to stop 10 bullets. Round 7 asks you to stop 30 bullets, and Round 8 requires 50 to move on. We are still stymied at Round 9, where we have to stop 90 bullets with just 3 allowable impacts. The final round tasks you with stopping a seemingly impossible 130 bullets without allowing a single impact. It's a surprisingly engaging concept and the execution (no pun intended) is superb.
The graphics have a dour, almost black-and-white look that enhances the bleakness of the situation. The bronze bullets and bright yellow targets stand out against this backdrop. A supposed bare swinging lightbulb overhead casts shadows and great lighting effects. There is no soundtrack, but the gunfire effects and cracked glass help to immerse you in the frightening situation. Controls only require you to tap the target centers, and they work quite well. Any time we've missed a bullet, we've been fairly certain that we didn't tap the right spot or we weren't quick enough. There isn't a whole lot of replay value once you complete the game, as there are no scores, points, leaderboards, achievements, or anything of the sort. The goal truly is to secure donations for Amnesty International as they celebrate their 50th anniversary and remain committed to their independence of any government, political, religious, or economic affiliation. As a universal app, you can play on any of your mobile iDevices. For $0.99, you can experience this 5-Dimple surprise and help out a worthwhile cause.
Bulletproof Review,

The Italian was fired on Sunday amid talk of widespread unhappiness within the squad about his management style.
Quinn, a former player, manager and chairman at the club, told the Sun: "Paolo's idea to rule through fear was to an incredible level. I think they were unprecedented levels of fear.
"Players weren't allowed to speak to staff - their own work colleagues. It's awful stuff.
"If I was a senior player, and I saw it coming to breaking point, I think I would have been hard-pressed not to stand up and give it back to him as well.
"It was very brave of the players to do what they did. Player power will be criticised but in this particular incident they felt they were going into battle for a leader who wasn't with them."

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Merritt Bakery is closed. Although someone told me they took over the old Kwik-Way drive-thru, so maybe they have their chicken there.
Luke, I'm so glad we have you to read at the Express.
Raider did not file trademarks for San Antonio or Carson Jody Payton... Lane Blue filed for the trademark San Antonio Raiders, which cornered Mark Davis to change the Raiders name or it would force Mark to pay a hefty fee to buy Blues Patent Trademark... Carson Raiders never happened... Los Angeles Raiders I believe, still belongs to the Raiders from when they patent it back in early 80's
When the government disturbs prices and wages, a black market is created, because humans are always financially motivated. Renters sell the opportunity to live in their rent-controlled apartments. Workers sell employment opportunities. Physicians sell disability certifications. I'm not arguing that the disturbance of prices and wages is bad policy. I'm arguing only that these effects should be considered, not ignored.
Brilliant article. Kudos to the writer.
The Raiders will stay in Oakland bc they will get the new stadium they want. Davis is just using the move to las vegas to scare the city of Oakland to agree to the new stadium! Vegas is a tourist city keyword tourist. vegas will never have a pro football team they just got a hockey team i give that 5 years tops before that folds and proves to all major sports leagues that vegas is just a tourist city!
I guess Apple shouldn't make smartphones either because they are culturally an Illinois, Espoo and Seoul thing
The company is paying absolutely NO price for this crime!!! They are putting all of the blame and fines on the employees of the company who were caught on camera!!! The management of this branch and the lack of proper training and safety practices are to blame!
Bill Drawdy- Vegas is a much better city than in many ways for the Raiders. Oakland is a broke city right now and that is why they are having so many stadium issues, while Vegas is doing much better and major league franchises in all sports are dying to get into the Vegas market because there are over 2.2 million people in the greater Las Vegas area. We know what Oakland can bring to the table, NOTHING. While Las Vegas is an untapped market with endless possibility. Also, the stadium in Vegas will be used for UNLV Football, and a possible MLS expansion franchise.
@Charlie Pine
Could you provide links to the Berkeley studies please? Your description suggests they only looked at the price-change of soda (i.e. half the tax showed up in price increase of soda), rather than any other goods.
Also, with regard to personal attacks, I cited the prof's credentials in response to your claim that he "might know law, but he clearly does not understand the first thing about comparative price elasticities." You said he doesn't know economics, I responded by showing that he does. I did not introduce the tactic of personal attacks.
Bonds are public debt, plain and simple. While they are a legitimate source of revenue for needed new infrastructure projects, cities and states need to plan for maintenace costs using revenue, not MORE DEBT.
As for Mayor Schaaf's plan for affordable housing. She wants to use rent control and more rent control to push small property owners (buildings with 1 to 4 units) into financial distress and then take them over as "NOAH's" (See Schaaf's "Housing Blueprint") using funds from measures A1 and KK (more bonds). Can the City really handle all the expenses associated with owning old buildings - the lead paint, galvanized plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring, not to mention buildings aquired due to financial distress will not be in great shape in many other ways.
Schaaf's plan will push Oakland deeper into debt and saddle it with old buildings (newer construction is not rent controlled per state law). Oakland needs more housing. Not to push small property owners out of business.
@ Tommy Katz: The grocer compares whether he will lose less revenue if he a) raises the price of a quart of soda 32 cents or b) raises the price of that bottle 12 cents, the price of diapers 17 cents, etc. Two studies of Berkeley sugared beverage prices found that about half the tax showed up in the prices of those beverages. *** As for ad hominem argument, you introduced that tactic by citing the professor's credentials.
@charlie Pine
It seems like you'd rather make ad hominem attacks than address the issues.
The micro-economics here aren't challenging: changing the marginal cost of one good (sugary drinks) won't impact the price that a retailer charges for another good (e.g. produce).
For an illustration of this, look at cigarette prices: the cost of a pack of cigarettes has skyrocketed as states impose more taxes on cigarettes. The price of Tic-tacs and other goods sold at gas stations (or other cigarette retailers) didn't change when cigarette taxes were implemented.
Anyone who really believes the Raiders are moving to LV are only fooling themselves. The Raiders also filed a trademark for San Antonio and Carson.....how'd that work out? Lol
@Tommy Katz: You're right, the professor might well know about price elasticity - in which case he simply threw out fog because he favors this tax on the poor. Maybe that is his lawyer side in action. As for the argument about why wasn't the price raised before the tax, the tax would changes the grocer's calculations of price and net revenue - go study it if you're interested.
"..this came out today,...you dont file trademarks for nothing!...its all a process already rolling!....Las Vegas Raiders coming soon!
Here's my opinion of all of this. Frankly it shouldn't matter what the chef looks like as long as the food is good. This is America and we tend to forget the goal of this country is to be a melting pot. Sure we have moments where we fail at it but for the most part we do a good job and the fact of the matter is we try. Unlike most other countries in this world where diversity isn't an issue because they just stick to themselves. Where the beauty of America working properly is in the kitchen. Rather than questioning the ethnic background of our chefs and their cuisines, we should embrace it. If you go to any of these places on a given night (which I do) the audience they serve too is diverse as well as their staffs. When you are dining at these places it's during that time everyone can agree regardless of where they are from can agree that food is delicious and should be appreciated in all its forms. Much like we should appreciate each other as Americans. Honestly if our politics and beliefs were run like the kitchens across the country then the world would be a better place. If we were all supposed to cook and eat what our ethnic backgrounds are "meant" to do then we are in essence forgetting the heart of what this country is built on which is being the melting pot, in the kitchen and out of it.
and the house or cards came tumbling
down, and p.t. barnum smiled
At Charlie Pine:
You say: "Prof. Auerbach might know law, but he clearly does not understand the first thing about comparative price elasticities, taught to students in micro-economics class."
Given that he is the former chair of UC Berkeley's economics department, was deputy chief of staff on the U.S. Joint Committee of Taxation, was the President of the National Tax Association, and has a Ph.D in economics from Harvard, I think he might know something about price elasticity.
Aside from his credentials, you didn't refute Prof. Auerbach's point: if store owners could raise the prices of other goods to make more profit, why didn't they do this regardless of the soda tax?
What's happening to Oakland's Chinatown? I was there about 2 months ago and it looked shabby, rundown and on its way to oblivion....Why?

Online Extra: Bynum set for season-ending knee surgery
By DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia 76ers center Andrew Bynum will have season-ending arthroscopic surgery on both knees today.
Bynum has not played this season because of bone bruises in both of his knees. The 25-year-old is an unrestricted free agent and may never play a game for the Sixers.
"After many months of rehabilitation and consulting with numerous doctors, Andrew and the doctors treating him determined that this is the best course of action at this point," general manager Tony DiLeo said Monday night. "We will continue to monitor and evaluate his status moving forward."??
The arthroscopic surgery will be performed by Dr. David Altchek of the Hospital of Special Surgery in New York. The procedure will clean out loose bodies from within the knees in an attempt to alleviate pain and swelling.
Bynum was shut down in training camp as a precaution and the Sixers originally hoped he'd be ready by opening night Oct. 31. Bynum said since training camp he would play this season. But after he experienced swelling in his right knee after a 5-on-5 scrimmage late last month, he acknowledged a return might not be possible.
Bynum was acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a four-team trade and was expected to make the 76ers contenders in the East.
He won two NBA titles in seven seasons with the Lakers. Bynum was coming off his best NBA season after averaging career highs with 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds while making his first All-Star team, starting for the West. He was the NBA's third-leading rebounder and 20th-leading scorer, while also ranking sixth in the league with 1.93 blocked shots per game.

Pacquiao Selects Next Opponent, Arum Quiet on Decision
By Edward Chaykovsky
The Philippine Star reports that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has selected his next opponent - if a deal can't be reached with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao and his promoter, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, sat down yesterday and the veteran promoter saidthe meeting took 30 minutes. There were four choices on the table - WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto, WBO junior welterweight champion Tim Bradley and IBF/WBA 140-pound champion Lamont Peterson. Arum would not disclose the name of the opponent.
"We got everything done in 30 minutes," Arum said. "Yes, he has made the choice. But I'm not gonna talk about it. Now I'm going back and let's see if we can make what Manny wants to happen. We need to be sure everything is secure and that things are done the way they should be done."
Arum said Pacquiao is going to fight in the last week of May or the first week of June. If it's not against Mayweather, then it will be against the opponent he picked.
"Don't say that," Arum told a Filipino reporter when asked if Mayweather is out of the picture.
Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, expects Pacquiao to make his announcement by the end of next week.

When I reached my home area I had little or no service at all. Called to complain and was told they could not reassure my coverage as there could be a building blocking the signal. I wanted to cancel the contract w/o a fee and after talking to "7" different supposedly supervisors and was told that was not possible.....what if a medical emergency came up and no service? Also my profession depends on communication at any given time.
Sprint wanted to send me a device called an "airave" which should compromise the problem to some degree....but guess what?....they were on back order and I could not be told if or when I might receive one. That only told me that their coverage issues to such a degree that every Sprint user must need one.

Goldman??? They couldn't care less...Their single quarter revenue is twice as much as the annual revenue of YRC.
Im sure some Goldman folks were threatened by Hoffa and pals, now instead of funds/banks looking to BK YRC, the plan will be to let any connected shorts out cheap, and of course big money will get to buy cheaply goinng long. to say GS isnt involved here is naive, they own the stock and were caught trying to cheat as usual, at least the union guys had the balls to tell them to go fukk themselves.

They took my $47.00 and then told me (after the fact) that I needed a specific software (more money!).
They had listed a phone number to phone for support, and an e-mail address. I have been on "Hold" for 1 hour & 28 minutes. Started out as number 8 with a wait time of 8 minutes, am now number 2 with a wait time of 78 minutes!!
I've e-mailed several times, with no reply, and also e-mailed to the address on the "Confirmation" to no avail.
This is one of the worst scams, and I'd like to know if anyone else has pursued with any action against them. I'd sure like to!

I've just finished installing WP to my site: http://www.darjeeling-in-the-teapot.com/blog/ and obvisouly, everything worked out fine, since my php base seems alright (with all the tables I mean) and you can actually see the blog on the page I just talked about.
However, when I try loging with the admin login and the random password that were given to me, the http://www.darjeeling-in-the-teapot.com/blog/wp-login.php page just goes blank. I type, hit ok and it goes blank. Nothing else. I've gotten rid of my cookies. I've tried various passwords to see if it was just this one, but it seems like nothing is working. I still can't see anything. I've also checked the wp-login.php file itself, to see if there was something written on it (you never know!), and there was... probably what was supposed to be written in the first place.
So, as you can see, I don't get it... is it my fault? Have I forgotten something? Is it my host's fault? Or something else?
Please help me :) Thanks in advance!

text: I know there is no set "America's most popular beer" (not including BMC products). I also know that we have many popular styles in america Double Stouts, BA stouts, Barleywines, etc. But IPA's seem to be such a big deal among us craft lovers (myself included). I first broke into craft on porters and stouts, and developed my love for IPA's. I know with many it's the opposite. My question: What is it about IPA's that we love so much in America that we just can't get enough. It's such a strong like that many brewers have several IPA's in their lineup. Thoughts?

Deandre Latimore To Join Mayweather's Camp on 8/15
By Ryan Burton
Boxingscene has been advised that former junior middleweight title challenger Deandre Latimore will join Floyd Mayweather's camp on August 15th as a sparring partner. Mayweather is preparing for his September 17th showdown with WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz.
Latimore, who is a southpaw like Ortiz, flew into Las Vegas on Monday to get ready for the saparring sessions. Former champion Kassim Ouma is also in Mayweather's camp and already sparring with undefeated superstar.
Attempts to reach Latimore were unsuccessful but sources close to the fighter said that the St. Louis native is excited to get the chance to spar with Mayweather and called it "an honor to work with him."
Send questions or comments to [email protected]
Ortiz is going to have a difficult time getting sparring partners as slick as Mayweather. It looked like a bad sign when he told Kellerman he hasn't come up with a game plan and he has no idea how to…Comment by kfcfloydiots on 08-10-2011
Floyd isn't looking for sparring partners, he's looking for a dance partner for his next career with "Dancing with the Stars" when he loses to Ortiz. Maybe he can go back WWE, we heard they needed a good stooge to…Comment by Allmenjoi8 on 08-09-2011
When is Ortiz going to start sparing? I know he just completed a triathlon but that is not ring work? Ortiz needs to work on his defense and jab. I hope he is taking this match serious.Comment by deejd on 08-09-2011
I read somewhere that Mayweather also has Sechew Powell in his camp.Comment by MindBat on 08-09-2011

Actually Huizenga, Geneva Jacuzzi, and Renata Rashka Got Weird at a Hollywood Strip Club... No, Weirder
Things that don't happen often enough in strip clubs: performance art shows.
The combo would work well for a private party, but it's even better when the art takes place alongside dancers on a public night; the faces on the confused bros left in the wake are priceless. Such was the scene Saturday at Hollywood's Cheetahs for an event organized by Actually Huizenga with artists Geneva Jacuzzi and Renata Raksha. Actually, a smoking hot DIY video starlet, was fête-ing the premiere of her latest sex-infused opus "Superfuture," which she screened on a bed-sheet before performing a round of her catchy saccharine singles. Clad in a clear plastic outfit covered in puffy-painted logos (courtesy of designer Peggy Noland, who was sitting up front tossing dollars), Actually was flanked by her band and an exotic dancer named Malice, who—according to the business card she gave me—is a professional "video slut," among other talents (indeed, she's in the "Superfuture" video). Renata, a photographer who also directed the stunning new Brooke Candy video, kicked off the evening with her piece, a clever monologue about Herbalife delivered in a bald wig while wielding a leaf-blower and barking at a pole-grinder (in her native Russian accent) to "keep dancing."
The evening's climax came around 1AM when retrofuturist weirdo Geneva Jacuzzi took the stage for an extended, perfectly bizarre set during which she vacuumed glitter and sang numbers like "Executive Briefcase" and "Squid Hunter" before finally stealing her assistant's costume and tearing apart the set props, all for an audience whose front row included aforementioned alt-rapper Brooke Candy, sitting next to aforementioned confused bros. Score one for LA nightlife.

else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
// Define the ID of whatever authors page is being viewed.
$authortemplate_id = $curauth->ID;
// Connect to database.
global $wpdb;
// Define table as variable.
$who_is_online_table = $wpdb->prefix . 'who_is_online';
// Query: Count the number of user_id's (plugin) that match the author id (author template page).
$onlinestatus_check = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ".$who_is_online_table." WHERE user_id = '".$authortemplate_id."';" ) );
// If a match is found...

On July 27, 2006, I was faxed an application from DSC for a flooring line of credit. DSC had earlier explained to me that their interest rate was less than 10%, and I would be foolish to pass up a chance to obtain a credit line at that low of an interest rate. DSC advised me that I needed to apply for $200,000, because that was their standard flooring line for used car dealers.
I received a fax on August 29, 2006, from DSC congratulating me on my $200,000 credit line. A statement arrived on September 8, 2006, claiming I owed $130,257, of which $113,000 was withdrawn, without my knowledge or permission, just two days after the loan opened. I immediately called DSC to ask why $113,000 was taken from my account, but was told that DSC manager Claude Ponce was unavailable and that I needed to check DSC's website if I had any questions.
A week after I complained, DSC manager Claudia Ponce told me DSC wrote checks on my loan to pay brokers who had given vehicle titles to DSC. Saying I had been defrauded, she said do not call the police, but allow her to investigate. She said I must continue to pay DSC or I would be out-of-trust. Over the next 45 days I paid tens of thousands of dollars to DSC, even personally delivering payments to their office.
On October 26, 2006, three DSC employees came to my lot, said I was in default and ordered me to stand aside. They repossessed my cars and told me they had put me out of business. It had been just two months since I had obtained a loan from DSC. Their deliberate and destructive behavior continued by:
Contacting customers that had purchased cars from me on retail installment agreements and advised that payments must be paid directly to DSC.
Rewrote consumer contracts for vehicles that I had sold.
While trying to recover the money DSC had stolen from me, I discovered that DSC was an unlicensed California lender. I quickly filed a complaint with the California Department of Corporations (DOC) in March 2007. I have continued to ask the DOC to assist me in stopping this predatory lender, as I discovered DSC's illegal activities were continuing throughout the state.
Any help that you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Homeland Security:
Improvements in Managing Research and Development Could Help Reduce Inefficiencies and Costs

Office of Public Affairs

This testimony discusses our past work examining the management of research and development (R&D) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS acquisition programs represent hundreds of billions of dollars in life-cycle costs and support a wide range of missions and investments including Coast Guard ships and aircraft, border surveillance and screening equipment, nuclear detection equipment, and technologies used to screen airline passengers and baggage for explosives. Since its creation in 2003, DHS has spent billions of dollars on R&D on technologies and other countermeasures to address various threats and to conduct its missions. Within DHS, the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) conducts overall R&D efforts to improve homeland security. Among other things, S&T works with DHS components to provide assistance in researching and developing technologies to meet their specific missions, while the components themselves are responsible for developing, testing, and acquiring these technologies. For example, DHS's Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) is charged with developing, acquiring, and deploying equipment to detect nuclear and radiological materials, supporting the efforts of DHS and other federal agencies. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for securing the nation's transportation systems and, with S&T, researching, developing, and deploying technologies to, for example, screen airline passengers and their baggage. Furthermore, the Coast Guard utilizes a variety of assets such as small boats, ships, helicopters, and other aircraft to perform its missions and regularly develops and procures new assets to replace its aging fleet. In recent years, DHS has experienced challenges in managing its multibillion dollar R&D and acquisition efforts, including instances where technologies were implemented before testing and evaluation was complete. We have also identified problems with its testing and cost-benefit analyses efforts in this area. This testimony is based on reports and testimonies we issued from May 2009 through March 2011, including a report we issued earlier this month regarding opportunities to reduce potential duplication in government programs, save tax dollars, and enhance revenue. This testimony is based on the section from that report related to the management of R&D within DHS. Specifically, this testimony discusses inefficiencies in homeland security R&D and potential for cost savings in this area. This testimony is based on reports and testimonies we issued from May 2009 through March 2011, including a report we issued earlier this month regarding opportunities to reduce potential duplication in government programs, save tax dollars, and enhance revenue. The testimony is based on the section from that report related to the management of R&D within DHS. Specifically, this testimony discusses inefficiencies in homeland security R&D and potential for cost savings in this area.
In March 2011, we reported that in managing its multibillion-dollar research and development efforts, DHS had experienced cost overruns and delays in the procurement and deployment of technologies and systems needed to meet critical homeland security needs. We further reported that DHS could help reduce inefficiencies and costs by completing testing efforts before making acquisition decisions and by including cost-benefit analyses in its research and development efforts. DHS has made acquisition decisions without completing testing efforts to ensure that the systems purchased meet program requirements. Our prior work has shown that failure to resolve problems discovered during testing can sometimes lead to costly redesign and rework at a later date. Addressing such problems during the testing phase before moving to the acquisition phase can help agencies avoid future cost overruns. Specifically: (1) In September 2010, we reported that the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was simultaneously engaged in the research and development phase while planning for the acquisition phase of its cargo advanced automated radiography system to detect certain nuclear materials in vehicles and containers at ports. (2) In June 2010, we reported that the Coast Guard placed orders for or received significant numbers of units for three programs--the Maritime Patrol Aircraft, Response Boat-Medium, and Sentinel Class Patrol Boat--prior to completing testing, placing the Coast Guard at risk for needing to make expensive changes to the design of these vessels after production had begun if significant problems were to be identified during future testing. (3) In October 2009, we reported that TSA deployed explosives trace portals, a technology for detecting traces of explosives on passengers at airport checkpoints, even though TSA officials were aware that tests conducted during 2004 and 2005 on earlier models of the portals suggested the portals did not demonstrate reliable performance in an airport environment. In addition, our prior work has shown that cost-benefit analyses help congressional and agency decision makers assess and prioritize resource investments and consider potentially more cost-effective alternatives. However, DHS has not consistently included cost-benefit analyses in its testing efforts and acquisition decision making. In 2006, we recommended that DHS's decision to deploy next-generation radiation-detection equipment, or advanced spectroscopic portals, used to detect smuggled nuclear or radiological materials, be based on an analysis of both the benefits and costs--which we later estimated at over $2 billion--and a determination of whether any additional detection capability provided by the portals was worth their additional cost.
