+          &lt;p&gt;PARIS &amp;mdash; France expelled nearly 100 Gypsies, or Roma, to their native Romania on Thursday as part of a very public effort by conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy to dismantle Roma camps and sweep them out of the country, the Immigration Ministry said.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;France chartered a flight to Bucharest, which left from the southeastern city of Lyon with 79 Roma aboard, Immigration Ministry officials said. However, Romanian border police official Cristian Ene, at Bucharest's Aurel Vlaicu airport, said only 61 people were aboard. The French Immigration Ministry was unable to immediately explain the discrepancy.&lt;/p&gt;
+          &lt;p&gt;Fourteen other people were repatriated to Romania aboard a commercial flight from the Paris region earlier in the day, the French officials said, adding that another Romania-bound repatriation flight was expected Friday. Additional flights were scheduled for later this month and September, Romania's Foreign Ministry said.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Those repatriated Thursday left "on a voluntary basis" and were given small sums of money &amp;ndash; euro300 ($386) for each adult and euro100 for children &amp;ndash; to help them get back on their feet in their home country, a standard French practice, officials said.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Roma advocates countered that the repatriations were hardly voluntary, claiming that those who refused the deal would end up in holding centers and eventually be sent home without funds.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Alexandre Le Cleve, a spokesman for Rom Europe, said the expulsions were pointless because nothing prevented those sent back from immediately returning to France, as many have done in the past.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;"For those who left this morning, they can certainly take a plane as early as tonight and come back to France. There's nothing to prevent this," Le Cleve told Associated Press Television News in an interview. "Obviously, these people come back, they are brought to the Romanian border, then come back to France, can leave again and so on. There are some Roma people who have been sent back seven or eight times, each time receiving the famous euro300."&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Adrian Paraipan, a 37-year-old who was aboard the Lyon flight along with his wife and three children, said he planned to return to France.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;"In two weeks, I will leave again," he said, adding that his family was unable to make a living in Romania. Another person on the flight, Maria Serban, a 29-year-old mother of four, said her family will also consider going back.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;France is allowed to repatriate Gypsies from Romania &amp;ndash; who as citizens of an EU member state are allowed to circulate freely within the 27-member bloc &amp;ndash; if they are unable to prove they can support themselves while in France, Le Cleve said.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;He suggested, as human rights activists have done in the past, that the voluntary departures help inflate the total number of annual expulsions, a figure the government releases to the media with much fanfare.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Foreign-born Gypsies are often seen begging on the streets of France's cities, often with small children or puppies, and many French people consider them a nuisance, or worse.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Sarkozy has linked Roma to crime, calling their camps sources of trafficking, exploitation of children and prostitution. On July 28, he pledged that illegal Gypsy camps would be "systematically evacuated." Some 50 camps have been emptied since then, including at least two on Thursday, local officials said.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In the southeastern town of Saint-Martin d'Heres, near Grenoble, about 150 riot police removed about 100 Roma adults and 45 children Thursday. That evacuation went smoothly, and no incidents were reported, local officials said. Another 25 Roma were taken from their camp near Lille early Thursday, officials said.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Sarkozy's crackdown on Gypsies came on the heels of much-publicized unrest by French Roma, who attacked a police station in the center of the country after the death of Gypsy youth there. The measures are also part of a raft of new hard-line security measures by Sarkozy, who won election in 2007 on a tough-on-crime platform.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The policy is attracting increasing concern, both at home and abroad, from those who fear it discriminates against one of the European Union's most vulnerable and impoverished communities.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Romanian President Traian Basescu said, "We understand the problems created by the Roma camps outside the French cities" but insisted on the "right of every European citizen to move freely in the EU." Romania, one of Europe's poorest countries, joined the EU in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Basescu, who was speaking Thursday in the eastern city of Iasi, pledged to "cooperate with France to find solutions."&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Some critics contend the French crackdown is a cynical ploy to divert attention from France's economic woes and attract far-right voters in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election. Sarkozy's approval ratings have been weak and a financial scandal has embroiled a top government official.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Officials insist they are not stigmatizing Roma &amp;ndash; though Sarkozy's stance had chilling undertones in a country where authorities sent French Gypsies to internment camps in France during the occupation. They were kept there until 1946, about two years after France's liberation from the Nazis.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux insisted France is being careful "not to stigmatize any community," but said the government can't just let people occupy land illegally.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;"Simply, everyone understands we are enforcing simple rules: One cannot just illegally occupy land without authorization," Hortefeux told journalists during a visit Thursday to the town of Crecy-la-Chapelle, east of Paris.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The government is also facing criticism from French-born Gypsies, known here as "traveling folk," who have lived in France for centuries and are loath to be confused with Eastern European Roma.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Hundreds of traveling folk are locked in a stand off with the mayor in Bordeaux, after officials in the Atlantic coastal city forced them to vacate an encampment there. The city offered them two alternative sites to set up camp in, but the families refused, citing inadequate facilities.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;___&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Associated Press writers Alina Wolfe Murray in Bucharest, Oleg Cetinic in Crecy-la-Chapelle, France, and Jenny Barchfield in Paris contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;

+          &lt;p&gt;LOS ANGELES (AP); A homeless man is free after spending 13 years behind bars for trying to steal food from a Los Angeles church kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Gregory Taylor became an example of the harsh sentences allowed by California's three-strikes law when he was ordered to spend 25 years in prison because of his two prior robbery convictions.&lt;/p&gt;

+          &lt;p&gt;An interview with Bill O'Reilly was used to sell a financially dubious investment scheme--without his knowledge, he says.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/bill-oreilly-used-unknowlingly-to-sell-investment-scheme/?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss" target="_hplink"&gt;The New York Times reported Thursday&lt;/a&gt; that O'Reilly had become mixed up in an online scheme that a financial columnist, Kathy Kristof, dubbed "investment flim-flam" &lt;a href="http://moneywatch.bnet.com/saving-money/blog/devil-details/bill-oreilly-duped-by-faux-news/2724/" target="_hplink"&gt;in a column for CBS MoneyWatch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The scheme was promoted by conservative magazine Newsmax. It involved an email titled "Watch Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and Esteemed Accountant Bill Spetrino Reveal Safe and Ultra-Profitable Steps You Need to Take Right Now to Protect Yourself From the IRS' Multibillion-Dollar Tax Onslaught!"&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The email was sent to Kristof, who was the first to raise questions about O'Reilly's participation. It linked to a video featuring an interview with O'Reilly, who talked about which investments he thought viewers should make. (Sample: buy stocks that "are beaten up.")&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In her column, Kristof described what happened next in the video:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;The next "guest" is a smarmy-looking "accountant" named Bill Spetrino, who purports to agree with O'Reilly and offers a newsletter called "The Dividend Machine." But he adds that he has "something even better." Spetrino maintains that he's written a report about a "forgotten, seven-state Constitutional Clause" that guarantees generous tax-free "IRS payouts" of $1,196 or more. And, he's agreed to provide this report "free" to viewers of the show produced by Newsmax.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It turned out that Spetrino was advising viewers to invest in municipal bonds. All he was asking, he said, was $1 for a 60-day trial of the report. However, that $1 automatically turns into $99 a year once the trial period is over.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Kristof said that investments that seek to exploit "forgotten" loopholes are usually scams. "My guess is that [O'Reilly] was an unwitting dupe in a clever product pitch designed to look like a news show," she wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In an interview with the Times, Fox News executive vice president Bill Shine said that the interview with O'Reilly had been set up by his personal agent, Don Walker, not through Fox. He also said that O'Reilly was unaware that the interview would be used to sell anything.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Walker told the paper that O'Reilly had explicitly told Newsmax they could not use his interview to promote any products. &lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The video went up in late June, and stayed there until Kristof raised questions about it on Tuesday. After her column, the video was yanked from the Newsmax site and all references to O'Reilly were removed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;O'Reilly is not the first Fox News host to be accused of helping to pitch financially dubious products. Most prominently, Glenn Beck has &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/19/anthony-weiner-glenn-beck_n_581563.html" target="_hplink"&gt;come under criticism&lt;/a&gt; for his participation in ads for Goldline, a gold dealer that many accuse of intentionally scaring consumers so they will buy gold at inflated prices.&lt;/p&gt;

+          &lt;p&gt;DENVER &amp;mdash; Court records say family members who sued over a fatal Colorado crash of a jet owned by Circuit City Stores Inc. have reached settlements of their lawsuits.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A document filed Thursday in federal court in Denver didn't disclose terms.&lt;/p&gt;
+          &lt;p&gt;The crash in February 2005 killed the jet's two pilots and six passengers. The National Transportation Safety Board ruled the pilots were dealing with ice on the wings and a runway change as they approached the Pueblo airport and didn't notice the plane had slowed to an unsafe speed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Some of the victims' survivors sued Cessna Aircraft Co., federal government agencies, and Martinair Inc., alleging they also were partly to blame. The defendants disputed the claims.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;John Steinbeck had much to say about Cannery Row, and we have more to add for modern times from when YDT hit the sleepy coastal town of Monterey to see what all the fuss was about.  Homebase of the Monterey Bay Aquarium (the peeps behind Seafood Watch) and situated next to rolling hills, organic farms and vineyards, we filled our hearts' desire with pristine California Coastlines and guilt-free, delicious, sustainable seafood, wine, cookies and the list goes on and on.&lt;/p&gt;

+          &lt;p&gt;Trader Joe's is a beloved mainstay of Southern California life for many, yet the dream of inexplicably cheap wine and delicious frozen burritos can quickly turn into a nightmare when it comes to parking. Years ago, I made peace with the notion that I will likely meet my demise in a Trader Joe's parking lot, and it is reassuring to see that I am not alone in this sentiment. &lt;a href="http://blogging.la/2010/08/19/the-5-worst-trader-joe%E2%80%99s-parking-lots-in-la/" target="_hplink"&gt;Blogging LA&lt;/a&gt; has taken a scientific (enough) look at the phenomenon of nightmare TJ's parking scenarios, and compiled a list of LA's 5 worst. Topping the list: the original Arroyo Parkway location: &lt;blockquote&gt; This is the OG TJ's, circa 1967.  The template of its future stores, including, apparently, its horrible parking.  The lot is a labyrinth and the parking slots are tiny beyond tiny  (as my friend pointed out, "only a clown car" could squeeze in the spots).  Overall, the lot is ill-equipped to handle the density of traffic and the vanity of Los Angeles (gigantormous Lexus SUVs hogging 2+ spaces, I am looking at you).   &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Be sure to see the rest of the list &lt;a href="http://blogging.la/2010/08/19/the-5-worst-trader-joe%E2%80%99s-parking-lots-in-la/" target="_hplink"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
