Joran van der Sloot, the suspect in the slaying of a 21-year-old Peruvian woman this week, left Santiago, Chile, aboard a military aircraft in the custody of officers Friday morning.
He will be flown to the border with Peru and expelled, said Macarena Lopez, a spokeswoman for Interpol.The Dutch citizen was previously a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, who was on a high school graduation trip to the Caribbean island of Aruba. Van der Sloot was arrested twice in connection with the case but released both times. He denied any involvement and has not been charged. The suspect was captured Thursday in Chile, authorities said. He is the main suspect in this week's slaying of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez, who was found Wednesday in a Lima, Peru, hotel room registered to van der Sloot. Chilean police told CNN that paperwork showed that van der Sloot entered Chile on Wednesday.

Customer e-mails CEO; phone company issues warning, then an apologyBy Kristen Hamill, CNN

AT&T apologized to a customer Thursday after one of its agents left a message on a customer's voicemail warning him that he would receive a cease-and-desist letter after the customer e-mailed AT&T's CEO directly about some complaints.Please don't have one of your $12/hour 'Executive Relations' college students call me -- I've found them to be generally poorly informed (Engadget.com readers know more than they do about AT&T) and they have little authority to do anything sensible," reads a portion of Galante's e-mail to Stephenson. He posted this e-mail, along with the offending voicemail, on his blog, "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish," which he began Wednesday after receiving the message. "After I sent the e-mail out [last week], on Wednesday I got that nasty gram back in the form of a voicemail," Galante told CNN.
The message, left by an employee at the company's Executive Response Team, warns Galante that if he continues to e-mail the CEO, "a cease-and-desist letter may be sent to you."AT&T told CNN on Thursday in a statement about the incident, "We are apologizing to our customer. We're working with him today to address his questions and concerns. This is not the way we want to treat customers. From Facebook to significant customer service channels, AT&T strives to provide our customers with easy ways to have their questions addressed."Galante said he wasn't necessarily expecting a response from Stephenson, but he felt that he was at least providing customer feedback to the CEO. He said that he accepted AT&T's apology but wondered why Stephenson was so "out of touch" and wished he had received a phone call directly from the CEO.

I believe that this is uncalled for that a employee of such a company would act this way. This man should be fired from his job for not representing not only himself in the right way but the company. The customers of AT and T have the right to be treated equally and treated how they should be.

109 die in fire in Bangladesh

At least 109 people were killed in a fire in the capital city in Bangladesh, the country's national news agency reported Friday. The blaze was caused by an explosion of an electric transformer in Dhaka Thursday, fire officials told the news agency Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha. The blaze then engulfed a plastic factory and four nearby buildings, the agency reported. Flames jumped some 300 feet in the sky as firefighters struggled to control it. Along with the dead, about 50 people were critically injured. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said she was shocked at the tremendous loss of life and pledged to support the families of the victims.

This is horrible news, it is never good to hear of people dying especial in such places where the utilities to put out the fire and have no way of getting help. It is good that the prime minister stepped up and helped out these people in times of need.

McDonald's recalls 12 million Shrek glasses

McDonalds has just announced that they will be recalling 12 million shrek drinking glasses due to them containing cadmium. These are chemicals that may cause health care and to be safethey recalled all of them. Each glass is 16 ounces and is valued at two dollars a piece and were used to adverstise the Shrek Forever After 3D. While no injuries were reported and the cadmium level in the glasses is low, long-term exposure to the metal can cause adverse health effects. Cadmium, which at high levels is a carcinogen, can cause kidney and bone damage.
A CPSC spokesman said the agency is working to establish a "highly protective" level of cadmium. These glass products were slightly above that level, he said, even though the agency has not yet established an acceptable cadmium standard.

This is probably smart beacuse a glass is not worth getting sick over. Hopefully this will set an example for other companies who have harmful products that it is ok for them to recall thier items and it will not effect thier sales.

Rigs taking drilling, jobs abroad in wake of moratorium

Of the 33 oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico that have been slapped with a six-month moratorium, at least two are already on track to move abroad, an official in Port Fourchon, Louisiana, told CNN. Now that these companies have been penalized it leaves the door open for other drilling companys to step in and try and solve the problem. The oil companies will be making lots of money and will boost our economy.

I think that this is very good we need new input on this situation and new ideas to fix this problem beacuse as long as we keep doing what were doing it will kill of alot of wildlife in the Gulf and will harm the environment.

After a series of attacks across Iraq, there has been killed at least 58 people and injured another 222 today. Most of the bombings and shootings were aimed at security forces . The attack that took the most causalitiesa happened in Hilla, in the southern province of Babil. Three bombings there killed 36 people and wounded 140. First came a double car bombing that killed 23 people and wounded 110. A suicide bomber struck as medics and security forces responded to those blasts, killing and wounding more. The bombs were detonated by a factory where several people were working. They have not been able to say exactly who triggered the attacks but it most like to be the al qaeda who is known for such actions. The first attacks were on the city of baghdad at dawn. They opened fire on security around 5 30 am wounding 12, adding 3 road side bombings equaling 10 wounded there, leaving the total at 22 already.

This is just sad to read, its hard to know that innocent people across the world are dying for no reason. I believe that we need to stop these killings, or get out of their. I do believe tho that we must end what we started over there because if we werent their they would be doing more terrible things. There is nothing you can really do to prevent these killings, its just a sacrafice these heros are taking to protcet our freedom and show patriotism to thier nations that i have very thankful for.

Some Chicago mothers mark day with tears for slain children

One by one, they filed toward a newly made sculpture at the city's St. Sabina Church, putting small white cards emblazoned with names of the children who were killed and placed them by these scultures."Today, as I woke up, instead of what a lot of mothers get, which are flowers or Happy Mom's Day or a kiss, I didn't get any of that," said Maria Ramirez, whose son, Matthew, was killed at 16. "I don't even get to hear anybody say 'Mama' anymore. I'll never hear that again." Blair, a boy who died, jumped in front of a bullet to save a girl, he was 16.Last month, the streets had taken 7 peoples live and had left 18 wounded. The crime rate increased 11 percent this year, homicide was risen 8 percent. 127 have been recoreded already this year, which is already 3 more than the yearly total in 2008.

I like how these children were honored for the heroic tasks, even if they were young. It takes a lot for someone of that age to give up thier life, just to save another. Reasons like this make me proud to say that i live in America, how many other places could you go to and have this happen. On the downside, these numbers of deaths need to decrease. They need to tighten up on the police force and make the streets a safer place to live, if not, people are going to want to move out of the city, making it harder for people to find jobs which while lead to poverty. Plus, you dont want to be scared or having the thought that any second you could be shot and killed for no reason.
