| Attorney general warns of widespread banking scam
A new identity theft scheme is targeting Texans and their financial institutions, according to the Texas Attorney General's Office. Spoof e-mails are directing Amarillo National Bank customers — who have been one of the biggest targets of this latest scam — to call a telephone number and confirm their personal information. Customers who make the call do not actually reach their hometown banker, but instead end up on the telephone with a scam artist who wants to steal their identity.This type of scam, also known as "phishing," typically involves e-mails that falsely appear to have been sent by trusted and well-known institutions, such as large banks or popular Internet-based merchants, such as eBay and PayPal. In the latest twist, however, identity thieves are clearly targeting Texans by posing as trusted local institutions.The Office of the Attorney General first learned of the Amarillo National Bank scam when its own employees received a series of e-mails with the subject line: "New Message From Amarillo National Bank." The e-mails read, in part:We recently reviewed your account, and we suspect an unauthorized ATM based transaction.
Under the Hood With Knight Rider 2.0: Trans Am vs. Ford Mustang ...
I love my GREY Honda civic. Who wants to drive kitt!! 2600. Hmmm... I'd just like to point out that the new KITT features 24 Hr Roadside Assistance as an attribute... apparently this is something a Ford based KITT requires. ;) 2599. RE: Under the Hood With Knight Rider 2.0: Trans Am vs. Ford Mustang (Featuring Exclusive New KITT Specs—and Classic Hasselhoff!) Why the heck would they make this a Ford Mustang? I can guarantee I won't watch this one, and I was a huge fan of the original KITT! 2598. KITT Hey, I have an idea, how about Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo / 3000GT ? It's a nice car ... Do you think that they will crash 1 Shelby 500GT in the making of this movie ? ^^ 2597.

Rutkowski moving on
When Ed Rutkowski and his wife moved to the Patterson Park area on the city's east side in 1986, it was the sort of place, he said, where everything was in good shape and neighbors pitched in to keep it that way.
But over the next decade, the region slid headfirst into decline. Drug dealers set up shop in its 140-acre park. Prostitutes worked the corners, and Rutkowski's neighbors - the same ones he saw at community Christmas parties - abandoned Baltimore in droves.
Rutkowski, however, got to work. He founded the Patterson Park Community Development Corp., which many now credit for the area's healthy turnaround. And now, after 11 years at its helm, Rutkowski is moving on.
