Search on for U.S. mariners seized off Nigeria
coast
2
The Nigerian navy has yet to find two U.S.
citizens kidnapped from an oilfield supply ship
attacked Wednesday in the piracy-plagued Gulf of
Guinea off Africa's western coast. Both the crew
members and the 221-foot oilfield supply ship
C-Retriever remained missing. The Nigerian navy
said the search would continue, but it was
unclear if anyone other than their captors know
where the two were taken after their seizure. It
is not uncommon for pirates to seize merchant
crewmen for ransom. "They're (the pirates) out
for anything they can get their hands on. Cargo
theft is a big part of it, be it machinery,
supplies, be it the actual fuel, be it prisoners
that they take ashore and hold for ransom,
kidnapping essentially. They're looking for
money."

    survivors of a passenger in a Camry involved in a
    2007 crash the driver claimed was caused by the
    car accelerating on its own. The settlement was
    reached the day after a 3 million jury verdict
    that was the first court loss for Toyota in an
    unintended acceleration case. On Thursday, the
    Oklahoma City jury awarded 1.5 million each to
    the injured woman and the survivors of the woman
    who was killed.
  • When a high school football team wins a game
    91-0, some might call it a sweet victory. But one
    parent from the opposing team called it bullying.
    He filed a complaint, saying the winning team's
    coaches should have told their team to take it
    easy on the other players.
