50,000 to file IT returns again
Setting a record of sorts, traffic cops challaned nearly 1,600 violators in the Feroze Gandhi market here in the last one month. As per rough estimates, total revenue generated was around Rs 16 lakhs. The market is one of the busiest in the city, with a large number of business houses, commercial offices, banks and finance companies located here. Police sources said the market had recently become quite sensitive due to its proximity to the mini-secretariat, police headquarters and the CIA office. Vehicles parked dangerously close to the secretariat wall were a major threat, so vigil in the area was increased. SI Mukesh Kumar got the distinction of challaning nearly 1,000 vehicles. SSP R.K. Jaiswal, who had specially ordered increased monitoring in the market, has awarded him with a commendation certificate given by IG Zonal.
New wave of defaults on ARMs could hit soon
The no-worries lending that inflated the housing bubble is resulting in a flood of soured option-ARM loans, adjust able-rate mortgages that allow borrowers to pay so little every month that their loan balances rise rather than fall, sometimes sharply. Numbers from industry trackers suggest that these borrowers most of whom boast respectable and often top-tier credit scores and appear to have substantial incomes and home equity are starting to create a second tide of defaults for lenders swamped by the meltdown in subprime loans made to people with bad credit or overstretched finances. .

Under the Hood With Knight Rider 2.0: Trans Am vs. Ford Mustang ...
Like its predecessor, the 21st century KITT gets AI from digital effects wizards that makes it an ideal crime-fighting partner: logical, precise and infinitely smart. Designer Harald Belker, who has created the Batmobile for Batman and Robin and a next-gen space shuttle for Armageddon, came onboard to give the new KITT. a unique look. "The goal was to make it look more aggressive without being hokey or garish," Belker says. "Maintaining as much of the original beauty of the Shelby as possible was important—and not just because of the Ford connection. It had to be simple yet believable as a superhero." Once his vision was set, Belker turned to Ted Moser from Picture Car Warehouse to make his drawings come to life. But there was one big hurdle: The GT500KR doesn't technically exist quite yet.
Build a firm foundation
The city schools need the extra support, said Superintendent Gerald D. Dawkins, a non-voting member of the foundation board. Budget reductions have led to cuts in music, arts, physical education and foreign language instruction in the district, especially in elementary schools. Foundation supporters hope to bolster those offerings and others. "What's in front of us is an awful lot of potential," Dawkins said. School districts in some large cities, such as Tampa and San Francisco, generate millions of dollars per year with full-time staff devoted to raising funds. Despite their initial efforts in mid-Michigan, an executive for the National School Foundation Association says fundraising in urban areas with struggling economies is tough.
Endorsing Ron Paul, and Why Progressive Dems Should Support Ron Paul
Like Petey Greene the old Wasington D.C. disc jockey would say, "Hey people wake up God-dammit!". I think what's throwing people off is the title header of your op-piece. Sometimes people will only read the header, then read the rest of the story with a certain frame of mind. .
