2011-11-02 18:55:00 This is definitely not the start that UConn Huskies men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun was hoping for in kicking off the 2011-12 season.

Sathya Sai Organization Shields Its Accused Members From Investigation
2011-10-13 03:13:00 This lack of speaking up, of questioning, profoundly ails the organization. It is also why, for example, so many costly drives in luxurious venues fail. See: ?Secret Swami? Cult Recruits At Prime Public Venues Those of us who have stood forth have often been assailed by Sai Baba activists such as Gerald Moreno, of New Mexico, USA, who deride Sai Baba's accusers for not having succeeded in court actions. However, the difficulties the victims face are formidable. Many of them wish to hide what they regard as their sense of shame. They do not wish to suffer discrimination against them in their personal or professional lives. Many have friends or relatives still closely associated with the Sathya Sai Organization. Sadly, many of them will not reach out for professional counseling, even though offered excellently qualified professional counseling. These and other formidable obstacles are familiar to all those familiar with the years of denial and cover up in the case of such institu...
India?s Home Minister could not avoid investigation by CBI, but quashed it
2011-08-24 01:10:00 “DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES” No one can convince me that Sathya Sai Baba – with the governmental assistance of the then Home Minister, S.B.

Want to stop an investigation? Just short the investigators

However, what is realistic is continuing division between the mayoral administration and the IG’s office....
Is Anita Alvarez' Call For New "Independent" Investigation D
2011-03-26 03:09:00 Anita Alvarez' Call For New Investigation Disingenuous? Is Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez' call for a new investigation into the Chicago Police Department's handling of David Koschman's homicide, at the alleged hand of Richard "RJ' Vanecko, disingenuous? Well, if anything, it is getting uglier and uglier and the perception that a cover-up by both, the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, is not going away...If there were ever the appearance of a cover-up, then this case would have to be the gold standard given the chain of events.
India gets its first Cyber Crime Investigation Manual to strengthen cyber s
2011-03-15 06:13:00 Thanks to the growth of Internet in the country, the activities which we carry out online are continuously on the rise. Among these activities are the exchange of goods or services, financial transactions through banks, credit card payments, email communications, social networking, and exchange of pictures videos or music. These activities have led to the seamless integration of cyberspace with the physical world. But as the Internet and the new technology grow, so do their vulnerabilities. And knowledge about these vulnerabilities and ways to exploit them is easily available on the Internet. In fact it is these vulnerabilities that led the internet to be termed as “the perfect platform for plausible deniability.”Cyber Crimes, as such have become an impending peril and the irony is that the same features (standardized protocols that enable the accessing of information and services easily from anywhere in the world) that make the global e-commerce possible also result in ...

European Commission Opens Antitrust Investigation Against Google
2010-12-02 07:50:00 Google has again landed in trouble in Europe. The European commission has decided to open an antitrust investigation into allegations that the search major has abused its dominance of online search engine. The investigators will also investigate the suspected regulations that Google’s business practices stifle competition by preventing other websites in its advertising network to feature commercial messages from its competitors. The investigation is the result of allegation made by the companies- Foundem, a British price comparison site and Ciao, another price comparison site owned by Microsoft. These companies alleged Google of preferential placement of its own vertical search services, higher on the sponsored search results that companies have to pay for. Interestingly, earlier this month Benjamin Edelman, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School published some data to show hard-Coding Bias in Google “Algorithmic” Search Results.

Robo-Signing Foreclosure Investigation in Full Swing
2010-10-22 07:00:00 Regardless of whether you feel empathetic toward those who are losing their homes in what is now being called Foreclosuregate, the fact that attorneys general of every state in the country have joined forces to investigate the foreclosure procedures initiated by mortgage providers is huge news. The term being bantered about is robo-signing, meaning the individuals responsible for signing documents to seize homes in foreclosure didn't read or verify the documents that they signed. In some cases, apparently documents were notarized without the notary present at the time of signatures. Some critics say so what? Borrowers had stopped making their payments. Others, perhaps those who care about the foundation on which America was built, say laws were put in place to be followed, and big banks are not above the law.

NCAA Investigation of Michigan Wolverines Begins, Hearing lasts 7.5 Hours
2010-08-15 06:58:00 Today began the NCAA investigation into alleged infractions by the Michigan Wolverines program. School officials from the traditional Big Ten power appear content with how the proceedings went Saturday. Or at least publicly they're very content. Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon said moments after the Seattle Westin meeting concluded that he was not at liberty to discuss what happened during the hearing. But he did release this statement. We feel that the committee gave us a full and fair hearing today. Our statements today were similar to those we provided the NCAA earlier this summer: We own the mistakes we have made, we fixed some process and communication problems that caused them, and we're keeping a close eye on...

It's great consumer advocacy journalism and it's fun to see the little guy get some justice. A year ago Yates reported on the plight of Mark Geinowsky, who received 24 Chicago parking tickets for violations at places he had never been. The curious thing was that 13 of them were written sequentially out of the same police ticket book. Hmmmmmm. A year later, Geinowsky has contested and beat all 24 tickets, but the investigation into the story, spurred on by Yate's reporting is still ongoing. Allegedly, CPD says the investigation...

Lord Paul Swarj Under British Police Investigation
2009-10-12 23:45:00 I have written of the Sathya Sathya Sai Baba-implicated and high-profile British Labour Government Minister, Tony McNulty MP, and police investigations into allegations of rorting the British taxpayer. The very wealthy Lord Paul of Marylebone (See Wikipedia note below) is now under police investigation for the same reason. In probing Lord Paul, the British media might like, while investigating, to see whether Paul has been assisting the Sathya Sai Organization, as has been Tony McNulty. Both have long been powerfully influential in the British Labour Party.

Six Things To Note About Chicago Schools Clout Investigation
2009-08-07 21:08:00 There's lots of news about the clout investigations surrounding CPS and it's easy to get lost, but here are some key things to note about where things stand right now:1. Arne Duncan is probably off the hook in terms of the Federal investigation, because the subpoena only asks for information going back to January 2008. (Unless they slam him for expanding principal discretion in February 2008 or for things that happened that first year.)2. Everyone else might be in deep doo-doo, however, since the Assistant US Attorney whose name is on the subpoena, Brandon Fox, appears to be on the criminal side of the USA's office, not the civil side. That means they're looking for bribery, corruption, fraud types of...

Petition For Official Investigation Into Sathya Sai Baba Cult
2009-07-10 00:00:00 A key difficulty facing an authoritarian, suppressive, unaccountable sect such as the Sathya Sai Organization is this: When there are serious scandals being hushed up, there is -: organized, networked dissent and public exposure, and in other ways quiet disruption and internal decay that happens quite apart from formal, focused, widespread efforts. the exponential spread of crisis for the organization. The well-informed leaders of "the Secret Swami's" (c.f. the BBC) know and suffer the effects of these three factors. It suits them to allow ignorant and unconscionable voices to attack those who have responsibly and clearly raised the issues in various parts of the world.

Queen's University Drops "Speech Police" Idea after Investigation
2009-02-19 06:53:00 Tim Waggoner writes from KINGSTON, Ontario, February 13, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - 'Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, has ditched its controversial "dialogue facilitator" program after protests from Queen's alumni spurred a three-member panel investigation.In the fall of 2008, Queens hired six graduate students from diverse backgrounds to encourage campus discussions on race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and other social issues. The students were advised to step-in whenever they heard conversations that could be deemed "offensive," or that involved "hate speech."The program barely lasted a semester, however, before the press and Queen's alumni became privy to the "speech police" initiative and, following a public outcry, a panel was hired to investigate.The panel sided with critics of the program, finding that, "The proposed method of intervention has the potential of making students feel unsafe or under surveillance because of their opinions."It is incompatible wi...
