Prosecutor's office loses valuable information in a criminal case due to computer crash

RIGA, Sept 22 (LETA) - The prosecutor's office has lost all information in a high-profile criminal case as a result of a computer crash, Prosecutor General Eriks Kalnmeiers said at a meeting of the Saeima Defense, Internal Affairs and Corruption Prevention Committee today.

Kalnmeiers said that he had been informed about the incident yesterday. He revealed that politicians were not involved in the said criminal case.

The committee members expressed their indignation at the poor technical support at the prosecutor's office, its obsolete computers and car pool.

Kalnmeiers did not deny that this was a major problem. 244 computers, some of which were manufactured back in 2001, need to be replaced. These obsolete computers cannot be switched to computer systems that prosecutors use in their daily work, said Kalnmeiers.

Old cars of the prosecutor's office are also a serious cause of concern. Some of them were made in 1994 and 1995 and many will have to be written off in the near future, which means that limited-access documents will have to be delivered by messengers on foot, Kalnmeiers said.

The prosecutor's office though is lucky to have a talented mechanic who, for instance, will have made one "new Audi" from three "Audi" cars that have been written off.

Spotted this place in a small town on the way down from Kolka. Judging from the name it could either be a disco club featuring scantily-clad dancers or the place winos end up late at night. As an added bonus it looks like the club is actually in someones bedroom.

So dont vote for Vienotiba OK!! This piece of blatant homophobic trash arrived in the mailbox the other day. Its a 'newspaper' produced by one of the parties that are running in the upcoming election - Par Labu Latviju! ( For a good Latvia). The gist of it is that the local gay/lesbian support group, Mozaika, have invited their members to vote for Vienotiba. Par Labu Latviju! decided that Latvia needs even more divisiveness and intolerance. How could you seriously even consider voting for a party that uses these kinds of tactics? What kind of 'good Latvia' do they want to create??  

The rest of the newspaper has a decidedly Ainars Slesers weighted angle with multiple page interviews and  childhood photos, and even a joke section. The level of humor is painfully bad as you can gather from this example....

Teacher asks Johnny
- Who do you want to be when you grow up?
- Slesers, who else?

Seems the 'curator' of Latvia's only erotic museum is branching out into hand-made furniture. An addition has been made to museums sign and now proudly advertises 'Sex furniture'!
