Did you catch in the above link, that the man who caused the China spill, was found dead?
I didn't see, why N.Y. would keep smelling.
I did post the effects sheet, mind and liver, with those destroyed, you have real problems.
I would expect the Gov. offices to know who was using enough to smell in the whole area.
Yes, I did see the Chinese official was found dead in another report as well. Do you remember the location mentioned in KingofHearts post for the delivery in the district close to the United Nations?

(WAY OFF TOPIC)
Subject: Fondue pots and cooking Fondue is only for Women
and Democrats.
Laughing, I will never hear the words fondue again without smiling.
Please, if you can listen on the computer, go to 850koa.com and listen to the 2nd and 3rd hours of the Jon Caldera show.
Jon is a brain, he is part of more than one think tank, Hoover is one of them I think.
At all times Jon is a master host, whatever subject he chooses for the night.
Tonight was an experience in brainwashing.
He announced that Fondue pots were only bought by women and Democrats, that no "real" man would ever buy one, use it or eat out of it.
Fondue pots are only good for regifting, meaning, to pass on a gift you received and do not like.
Doesn't sound like much of a topic for a talk show....LOL
It was a riot, there were actually men phoning and admitting that they were both Democrat and cooked fondue's.....and attempting to defend the act.
There was one caller, who told of some funny gifts he had passed on, over the years, but then, honestly asked "what is a Fondue Pot?", LOL, Jon told him " If you have gone this many years unpoluted, then I shall not polute your mind and you can consider yourself lucky that you have never seen one".....and did not tell him what it was.
There is a man who proposed to his wife, after asking her to come over, built a fire in the fireplace, fixed chocolate fondue and had fresh strawberries for dipping.....happy still.
Fondue is considered a sensual food by women.
Jelly Donuts are considered a sensual food by men.
Peanut M& M's is on the health food list, you know, eat lots of nuts.....
Wok's are in the same class as a fondue pot, but a big mixer is ok, as it is a power tool.
Now a Fry Daddy, is a man style fondue pot, french fries, fish and other goodies can be cooked in front of the fire place and it takes a real HE-man to fry daddy, watch the ball game and drink beer at the same time and not burn the house down.
Fondue Restaurants, are a place that charge you a lot of money to cook your own food.
Another man wanted to know what a "3 wick candle was for" Jon had the answer, you cook a pig on it, and it only takes 3 days.
I don't think I ever knew what a White Elephant gift was, it was said that in the old days, the Marhajai, if he did not like you, would give you a White elephant, therefore you were stuck with feeding it for the next 100 years.
I think that White Elephants are rare and not for working or eating. You know, that would work, when anyone saw it, they would know you were not in favor.....how do you hide an elephant?
For the perfect gift to give, make sure it is one that you would like to have come back to you.
Very important to know if you live near a college dorm, watch the dumpster at the end of term, the young, throw out all that does not fit in the suitcases, working TV's, couches and other interesting finds.
Next Christmas, have a gift swap and swap all the gifts that you have and wish to give away, several people do this, unwrapped and draw numbers to be first......others wrap them and draw numbers......actually it would be great fun.
There is an old saying "one man's trash, is another man's treasure".
call, but one that Michele Swensen isn't likely to forget.
Her husband's cellmate had just told her her husband was gone.
For the first time in three years, Ashraf al-Jailani -- who apparently gave up his fight to remain in the United States -- was no longer in the York County, Pa., jail.
``They could take him to one of their undisclosed locations,'' Swensen said, speculating where the government might take her husband next. As for herself and the three children she and al-Jailani share, she said: ``I don't know what we'll do.''
Federal immigration officials would not confirm whether al-Jailani remains in the country.
``We are moving ahead with the removal order,'' said Michael Gilhooly, spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ``We don't discuss our removal operations... for security reasons.''
After more than three years in prison, with no charges filed against him and government allegations that he was a first-string al-Qaeda operative rejected by every court that heard them, the 42-year-old former Kent resident lost his will to fight deportation.
The new indictment alleges that Elzahabi tried to use the green card Sept. 6 and 21, 2001, in Ramsey County and Feb. 7, 2002, in Hennepin County.

WASHINGTON (CP) - Suspected terrorist Omar Khadr will face an administrative hearing in January on a murder > charge and other counts stemming from a 2002 grenade attack in Afghanistan, the U.S. Defence Department says.
The Toronto-born Khadr, 19, who's been held for more than three years on the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was formally charged last month.
The Jan. 10 hearing is expected to last no more than a day and will likely involve scheduling decisions and entering a plea, the Pentagon says.
Khadr's case was referred last week to a military commission to be led by marine Col. Robert Chester.
The teenager has also been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy and aiding the enemy in an attack that killed a U.S. soldier. He will not face the death penalty.

PARIS -- Yelling into a radio reporter's microphone, the radical French Muslim from a working class neighborhood of Paris urged his friends to join
him on the battlefields of Iraq.
"I'm ready to set off dynamite and boom! Boom! We kill all the Americans!" Boubaker el-Hakim cried. "All my brothers over there, come defend Islam!"
That chilling message, in a 2003 interview conducted in Iraq as U.S. troops were preparing to invade, has proven to be an early warning of a worrisome new phenomenon of homegrown militants from Europe heading to Iraq to join the insurgency, driven by anger over the U.S. occupation and what they see as Western attacks on Arabs and Islam.
For officials here fearful that France -- despite its opposition to the Iraq war -- could be one of the next targets for terror, this breed of radicals is especially hard to track because they have no known links to major terror figures like Osama bin Laden or his al-Qaida network.
Jean-Francois Ricard, one of France's top anti-terrorism judges, told The Associated Press that traveling to Iraq to fight U.S.-led forces has strong appeal among Muslims here and that recruitment chains are popping up all the time.
"We are constantly finding them," Ricard said. He estimated that "dozens" of such networks are operating across Europe.

SINGAPORE (AFP) - Southeast Asian terrorist groups are seeking new targets
and remain a serious threat to the region, Singapore's Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng has warned.
"Indeed, notwithstanding our successes, we have clearly seen a certain resilience in the terror networks in the region to regenerate itself with new recruits," Wong said at the launching ceremony of a new frigate for the Singapore navy.
"While we may have seen fewer car bombs of late, we have seen more suicide bombers with body-borne bombs," he said.
Southeast Asia has been described by the United States as the second front in its global "war on terror". Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), an Al Qaeda-affiliated group, has been blamed for several attacks in the region, especially in Indonesia.

NSW police say they met with terror suspect Saleh Jamal
in a Beirut prison, but deny offering him a deal if he confessed to a plot to attack Sydney.
Jamal says Australian police offered to return him to Australia if he informed on six terrorism suspects he allegedly recruited, and admitted to planning to attack Sydney Harbour.
Jamal, who was the key target in the lead-up to Operation Pendennis recently, says he'll mount a terrorist attack on Australia if he's brought back.
NSW police confirmed reports in The Australian newspaper that officers from the department and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) visited Jamal on numerous occasions in a Beirut prison where he's serving a five-year sentence for weapons offences.
But the NSW police spokesman denied the terror suspect was ever offered a deal.

Former Saudi intelligence chief and ambassador to UK, Turki saw signs of differences between bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and predicted the latter would succeed the former.
The Saudi ambassador reaffirmed concerns that Iran was exerting “undue influence in Iraq.†He added that Saudis are not going the nuclear way†of Iran because it would start a regional arms race, thereby indirectly confirming Iran’s goal of attaining a bomb.
He urged Iraq’s Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds to work together as the only way to achieve a stable and unified Iraq.

At least 57 people are on the sick list after an outbreak of salmonella in Hobart. The wave of food poisoning is believed to have forced dozens of Tasmanians on to workers' compensation leave while they recover. Of the 22 cases statewide confirmed by testing in the past fortnight [2 weeks - Mod.LL], 13 were linked to the Hobart outbreak, the Department of Health and Human Services said. But as of yesterday, 8 Dec 2005, there were 57 people off sick with the symptoms in Hobart.
Raw egg has been named the likely culprit for the Hobart attacks, but the State Government maintained there was no need to reveal the suspected food business at the heart of the outbreak.
"There is no public health reason to identify the business," Public Health Director Roscoe Taylor said. "It acted to prevent further risk as soon as it was made aware of the problem last Fri, 2 Dec 2005, so we don't expect any new outbreaks from this source."

'No evidence CIA destroyed dossier on Khan'
AMSTERDAM: The Dutch justice minister acknowledged on Friday that the
dossier of evidence used to prosecute Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul
Qadeer Khan in the 1980s had disappeared, but said there was no
evidence of
CIA involvement.
Khan worked in the 1970s for a Dutch-based European nuclear research
centre,
from which he stole secrets used to develop Pakistan's nuclear bomb. He
was
convicted in absentia in Amsterdam for the theft in 1983, but it was
overturned on appeal in 1985 on a technicality.
In a letter to the Dutch parliament released on Friday, Justice
Minister
Piet Hein Donner said a formal investigation had found the dossier was
now
empty, except for "a few administrative documents, such as the 1983
verdict
and the decision on appeal in 1985."
He said the dossier had likely been destroyed about a decade after the
case
concluded, though investigators could not rule out other possibilities.
His
ministry would draw up new guidelines to preserve materials from
important
cases, he said.
"As for the idea that the CIA played any role in the manner in which
the
criminal dossier of Khan was administered, no evidence of that was
found,"
Donner's letter said. Last year, Khan acknowledged selling nuclear
technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea. Khan, who was revered in his
own
country for countering the nuclear threat from rival India, was granted
a
pardon by President Pervez Musharraf.
Former Dutch prime minister Ruud Lubbers said earlier this year that
the CIA
had insisted the Netherlands not prosecute Khan when the theft was
first
detected in 1975, as well as when he returned to the country in 1986 to
arrange an equipment shipment. He quoted the CIA as saying it wanted to
continue shadowing Khan to find out more about his operations.
The CIA and Pakistan's intelligence service were covert allies in the
1980s
against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and were careful to
preserve
good relations between the two countries. India was a military client
of the
Soviet Union throughout the Cold War. Khan graduated with a
metallurgical
engineering degree from Delft University in 1967. In the early 1970s
was
hired by a subsidiary of the Dutch company Urenco, the Physical Dynamic
Research laboratory, which was developing sensitive ultra centrifuge
technology used for uranium enrichment. For years, Khan had access to
confidential nuclear secrets that later became the heart of Pakistan's
nuclear weapons programme. agencies
_____ More than three-fourths of the people living in Afghanistan say living conditions, security from crime and freedom of expression have improved from the days when they were living under Taliban rule, an ABC News poll says. On the questions of jobs and economic opportunity, people are evenly divided on whether economic opportunities are better or worse.
Almost nine in 10 - 87 percent - say the US-led overthrow of the Taliban in 2001 was a good thing for the people of Afghanistan. And three-fourths of Afghans say their country is headed in the right direction, far higher than in the United States, where only three of 10 say that.
The optimism comes in a country where people say by a 2-1 margin that their own economic situation is bad, medical care is limited and basic services like electricity are not available for many people.
Six in 10 Afghans say attacks on US troops cannot be justified, while three in 10 say they can.
The poll of 1,089 adults was conducted by Charney Research with field work by the Afghan Center for Social and Opinion Research in Kabul from Oct. 8-18 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
