Internet Explorer ate my post! Let's start over...

• The Daily News looks at crime organized and otherwise -- first with a series from Troy Anderson and Jason Kandel on Eurasian mob activity in the valley. The Sunday story is an overview of the problem and the scams, while Jason follows today with a tale of how a Ukrainian family used Medicare fraud as a shortcut to the American Dream.

  Oppressed in their native Ukraine, Konstantin and Mayya Grigoryan came to the United States a dozen years ago in search of the American dream.

  They didn't speak English, struggled to pay the bills and relied on family and friends to make ends meet. Eventually they found jobs and began to acquire wealth, opening a restaurant, starting a string of medical clinics and finally buying a $661,500 home in a gated community in Altadena.

  But this American dream was built on a crooked foundation, authorities say. Indicted by a federal grand jury in 2004, the couple was convicted of leading a Russian-Armenian organized crime ring that paid kickbacks to doctors, recruiters and patients and defrauded the U.S. government out of $20 million over five years.

• Also, DN's Tony Castro profiles Timothy McGhee, an Atwater Village gang member who is standing trial this week for two murders, seven attempted murders and five shootings. He writes:

  His spiral notebook of rap lyrics depicts McGhee as a 21st century American psychopath, devoid of conscience, who used the Atwater Village area as an urban killing field.

  In the words of Andy Teague, the now-retired LAPD detective who tracked him, "It's his high, and he does it for kicks."

  "Here I come last chance to run," McGhee writes in one set of lyrics. "Killer with a gun out to have some fun/ In my dreams I hear screams/ Pleasure I feel is so obscene."

  McGhee, after all, is believed to have killed one young man - 16-year-old Ryan "Huero" Gonzales in 2000 - simply because he thought Atwater Village wasn't big enough for two people with the same nickname.

  It is the kind of violent rampage for which McGhee came to be called in his neighborhood "the Monster of Atwater." Some cops even compared his murderous nature to that of Charles Manson.

• Meanwhile, Sunday's Armenian Parliamentary elections were deemed fair, according to international election monitors. The Life in Armenia blog has posts about observing the balloting and the day after.

• For those still following the Times spiking an Armenian Genocide story fracas, here's an account of a recent meeting between Times executives and members of the ANCA, California Courier Publisher Harut Sassounian and others. via Asbarez

• And finally, one of Glendale's blingy-est residents, rapper The Game, was arrested late Friday after LAPD searched his home in the hills for three hours. He was booked for making criminal threats, then bailed out for $50,000 Saturday morning. Here's YouTube video of KABC7's report, with The Game himself mugging for the cameras.
