Remember that mosquito DNA used in Jurassic Park? How it was used to create the dinosaurs?
It was only a matter of time, right?
No, no...not until we cloned a dinosaur from a mosquito.
But until we used DNA from a mosquito.

Alderman Charles Quincy Troupe wants his community to be vigilantes. He doesn't feel the police can take care of the citizens so he's telling them to go out and arm themselves with guns.
"Alderman Charles Quincy Troupe said police are ineffective, outnumbered or don't care about the increase in crime in his north St. Louis ward. St. Louis has had 157 homicides in 2008, 33 more than last year at this time.
"The community has to be ready to defend itself, because it's clear the economy is going to get worse, and criminals are getting more bold," Troupe, 72, said Tuesday."
I'm not for gun control but this Alderman is a bit off the wall. Telling everyone to go out and get a gun isn't going to solve the problem in St. Louis. I think Alderman Troupe and the rest of his city council need to work with their police department and not brush the problem under the rug.

Sister Ardeth Platte (left) and Sister Carol Gilbert
Washington Times photo
Sister Carol and Sister Ardeth have been labeled terrorists, wrongfully, in the federal database.
I, once again not being Catholic, would like to know what in the world kind of nuns these represent?
Is the work they do the work of God?
These nuns have been in prison:
Sister Carol and Sister Ardeth make no apologies for their actions and demonstrations in the past. In 2002, the two, along with another nun, broke into a nuclear missile site in Colorado and used their own blood to paint crosses on a silo. Sister Ardeth was sentenced to 41 months and Sister Carol was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison.

Is what these nuns do fitting in with the vows they have taken?
Poverty The vow of poverty leads a nun to imitate Jesus who for our sake became poor, although he was rich. It helps her to be poor in spirit as well as in fact, and to live a life of labor and moderation. By the vow of poverty , she gives up the right to control or benefit from personal property and commits herself to live interdependently within a community, according to its constitutions. The purpose of this vow is to free her from being fascinated by material things so that she may be free to serve others.
Chastity The vow of chastity leads a nun to imitate Jesus who was chaste. This vow frees her from the demands of an exclusive human relationship so that she can give all her love to God, and through God to all people. By the vow she promises not to marry or to engage in romantic behavior or sexual acts.
Obedience The vow of obedience leads the nun to imitate the obedience of Jesus Christ. By seeking God's will for her and obeying her lawful superiors according to the constitutions of her particular group. As a member of her religious community, she searches for the will of God, not in arbitrary commands, but in prayerful reflection and dialogue with others.
Even reflecting upon a Dominican Nun in the United States, I do not see how the activites of these two nuns fits into their service.
Definitely not singing nuns, that’s for sure, although, while in prison, perhaps they sang like caged birds.

 A naked Brit swims in the moat of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo
Picture this…
The home of the Imperial Family of Japan.
Just minding their own business in their Palace.
A palace that rarely has visitors.
And a large, naked British tourist decides to skinny dip and rock climb in the moat that surrounds the palace.
Just a typical day in Tokyo, right?
Well, no…
Now I know you're interested.

"Engineer sent text message"
When I saw the headline referenced above last Friday, I admit I thought twice about it, but uncharacteristic for me, I actually took the optimistic route with it and thought it was a positive story. I thought the railroad engineer actually texted a call for help, or texted some information. The slight inkling I had at first that he was texting while operating the train left my mind quickly. Well, my first thoughts were correct, although, they actually were just the tip of the iceberg.
Yes, he was texting...last month on a commmuter train in Los Angeles. He did it just seconds before the train ran through a red light and crashed. 25 people were killed in that tragedy...his fault. And guess what...he had been texting not once, not ten, not 20 times..well you won't believe it, throughout the day...
From the Daily Journal
Through cell phone records, the preliminary report has determined that the engineer sent a text message 22 seconds before the train ran through a red light. Further investigation discovered the engineer had sent or received 57 messages while on duty the day of the crash. That is an average of seven messages per hour during an eight-hour shift. When was this guy conducting the train?
Secondhand texting resulted in 25 deaths. Will it take cell phone-related deaths to equal alcohol- or smoke-related deaths before someone calls for a ban on cell phones?
Continued HERE
You know, I really don't care if people want to talk on their cell phones, but I do care if they aren't able to drive correctly because they are doing so. Too many aren't signaling because they don't have a free hand. And when they're texting..their eyes aren't on the road. Many cell phone users aren't going the proper speed limit, either.
All it takes is for your head to be down or your eyes to be off the road for a couple seconds...and you can kill one person, a whole family, cause a multi-car pile-up on the highway...who knows what can happen.
Do I want a cell phone ban? No, I don't. Do we have to have the government tell us what to do about everything in our lives? Can't people just use some common sense? But they can't do that, and that's why there will end up being a ban on cell phone use in cars.

Like President Kennedy’s assassination, the Challenger disaster, and of course we will never forget 9-11. But there are other things that happen that touch different people in different ways. Charles Manson, Kent State; well there are things on the upside, too…not everything was bad…Woodstock for instance. But today and the next couple days to follow marks the anniversary of an event that, as a very young mother, just put chills through me. I never would have thought there were such randomly evil people in our country back in 1982, but there were, and there were more to follow.
On September 29, 1982, a 12-year old girl named Mary Kellerman, who lived in Elk Grove Village, IL died. Why? She had taken an Extra Strength Capsule of Tylenol. Later that day, in the hospital, Adam Janus died . He was from Arlington Heights. Then, when his family was mourning Adam’s passing away, his brother Stanley and wife Theresa, who had Tylenol from the same bottle, also died. They were from Lisle, IL. Sometime later, there were several more incidents of death; Mary McFarland, of Elmhurst, Paula Prince, Chicago, and Mary Reiner, of Winfield. The obvious link to Tylenol was found quickly, to the credit of investigators, and the public was warned immediately.
I was so disturbed that the family was distraught over the fact that their brother had died, and had taken the Tylenol, and then there were two more victims. I distinctly remember other family members speaking about it on television. About how much stress Stanley Janus was under and the headache he had. It was very sad and painful.
And so, now it began. We no longer could feel safe purchasing medications and food products in the store. Safety protection on all products. No more loose, time-released capsules. Trust no one. Life changed very much after September 29, 1982. I guess there’s something about September.
1982: Cyanide-filled Tylenol cause multiple deaths
"Two brothers and a 12-year-old girl died in two different Cook County suburbs yesterday, poisoned by capsules of pain remedy contaminated with cyanide," reported the Syracuse Herald Journal on September 30, 1982. The Tylenol poisonings killed a total of seven people from the Chicago, Illinois area. NOTE: Although officials believed the tamperings occurred at supermarkets or drug stores, a nationwide recall of all Tylenol products was issued. Several men were arrested for the crime; however, no one was ever convicted of the killings.”

Another school shooting...Not a tragedy…a massacre.
This time in Finland. Today one student killed killed ten others, and then himself (of course, he turned the gun on himself; coward).
Of course, neighbors said he was “quiet.”
A masked student went on the rampage at a Finnish school Tuesday, methodically gunning down 10 people before turning the weapon on himself, a day after police quizzed him over a chilling YouTube warning.
Young women screamed as the 22-year-old shooter stalked the corridors of the vocational college in a ski mask and black outfit letting off round after round at helpless students before starting several fires, witnesses and police said.
The massacre in Kauhajoki in southwestern Finland was the country's deadliest school shooting and the second in under a year.
"I heard the sound of shooting and hysterical girls' voices. Then two girls came towards my room and said a weird man was shooting," Jukka Forsberg, the janitor of the school, told AFP.
"I went to see and saw a guy leaving a big black bag in the corridor and going into classroom number three and closing the door.
"I looked through the window and he immediately shot at me," he said, adding, "Thank God I was not hit! He fired at me but I was running zigzag. I ran for my life."
Forsberg said he heard "horrible screams of pain" as he raced out of the building. The shooter has been identified as a second-year culinary arts student Matti Juhani Saari.

Sure... there were advanced warning signs (a video).
I blogged last November about Terrorism in American Schools: The First of ALL Fears
It’s worth a second look.
Also, New Berlin is going to be installing high tech video equipment in their school district, just approved this past month.
I also blogged about schools using high tech video systems last November,
Smile Kids, You're On LIVE Camera.
An article came out last week in "Campus Safety" for educators that states there are between 2,000-3,000 camera "systems" out in the schools throughout the country right now. (Making the Leap To IP Video - A Safer Bet. www.campussafety.com (Sept/Oct 08).
Since Franklin Public Schools are so close to the House of Correction, with the threat of domestic terrorism (that includes from students), and whatever looms ahead from foreign terrorism, I think we need to keep this equipment in mind.
We are currently repairing our track again for $53,000 and have a renovation of the stadium/track in the future plans for over 2.5 million....
We just had a safety program on that track. Perhaps some safety equipment in the schools might be of benefit. Just a thought.

If they aren’t wearing gloves.
Forensics, just like all aspects of science, are ever changing and improving.
There are new techniques out there for lifting fingerprints…even off of bullet casings.
That includes casings that have been wiped.
Various cases of assorted common calibers.
British scientists have developed a new crime-fighting technique that allows police to lift fingerprints from bullets even if a criminal has wiped down a shell casing.Authorities in Britain and the United States used the method to re-open three cold cases, including a U.S. double murder that police are now optimistic of solving, said John Bond, the physicist who developed the technique.
The conventional method of taking fingerprints has been around for more than 100 years and involves creating a chemical reaction with the sweat left behind on an object to produce an image police can use.
But if a criminal wipes away the sweat, there is little left to react with the chemical and regular methods are useless, Bond said in a telephone interview.
The new technique allows police to outwit a criminal and produce a fingerprint even if there is no sweat impression to work with.

 Two babies with kidney stones receive medical treatment at a military hospital in Lanzhou, capital of northwest China’s Gansu Province, Sept. 11, 2008. China will set up a multi-level treatment system for tainted milk-affected infant patients, with all the grass-root medical agencies well prepared for the "possibly rising cases," the Ministry of Health said on Tuesday. (Xinhua Photo)
…and the world is suffering at the hands of this evil.
So much illness has been caused.
Death has been caused.
It's horrific enough that humans have suffered.
It's horrible enough that parents worry what to feed their babies.
Back in 2007 this evil began the experiment on pets.
That’s how evil killers often begin..with animals.
Maybe because they are animals themselves.
This animal may be a chemist. This animal is using melamine and was putting it first in pet food back in 2007.
Now it is being found in baby food and other dairy products such as yogurt in China.
The pet food that sickened and killed pets in 2007 in the United States originated in China. The hundreds of babies suffering now are also in China.
At first China was apologizing, taking blame…and then the melamine was found. You can’t take blame for an evil killer. This thing is huge...you'll read below that it has infiltrated 22 milk companies in China..22! So where does it begin?
"China Milk Scandal Widens as Melamine Found in Yogurt"
"China's tainted milk scandal widened as melamine was found in products of a second dairy company, after infant formula contaminated by the chemical was linked to 1,253 cases of infant kidney stones, killing two. Wellcome, a supermarket chain owned by Dairy Farm International Holdings Ltd., said it will stop selling ice cream made by Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group after the chemical was found in a sample, according to a statement sent by e-mail late today. The discovery in Hong Kong of the industrial chemical in a second company's products boosts concerns that contamination may be widespread after the Ministry of Health said melamine-tainted milk made by Sanlu Group Co. sickened children. Milk powder produced by 22 Chinese dairy producers, including Sanlu and Yili, were found to have melamine, China Central Television reported late today. "

capital of northwest China's Ningxia *** Autonomous Region Sept. 17, 2008. (Xinhua/Liu Quanlong)
"Hebei Province, the center of the contaminated baby formula scandal, on Wednesday said it hard received reports of 638 sick infants in one day.
Gao Chunqiu, deputy chief of the provincial health department, told a press conference that 12,510 people consulted medical facilities in the province between midday on Monday and midday on Tuesday, and 638 babies were diagnosed with urinary calculus (stones)."
Continued HERE
"China seizes 22 companies with contaminated baby milk powder "
"Chinese inspectors have found the chemical melamine in 69 batches of baby milk powder produced by 22 companies nationwide, the country's quality watchdog said late on Tuesday.
The authorities ordered a halt to the sale of the tainted products which included such well-known brands as Sanlu, Mengniu, Yili and Yashili, among others.
The State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said test samples came from 491 batches of products sold by all the 109 companies that produced the baby milk powder in the country."
Continued HERE
From 2007:
"Melamine in pet food may not be accidental"
"A nitrogen-rich chemical used to make plastic and sometimes as a fertilizer may have been deliberately added to an ingredient in pet food that has sickened and killed cats and dogs across the country, public and private officials say. A leading theory is that it was added to fake higher protein levels.
Melamine has been found in wheat gluten, rice protein concentrate and, in South Africa, corn gluten, all imported from China, and all meant for use in pet food, the Food and Drug Administration confirmed Thursday.
"It adds to the theory when you see other products that are labeled as protein supplements, in this case rice protein, and in South Africa corn gluten and in the previous case wheat gluten," said Stephen Sundlof, FDA chief veterinarian. "That melamine was found in all three of those, it would certainly lend credibility to the theory that this was intentional."
How the melamine got there is "not something we're going to be able to determine until we actually investigate the plants in China," he said."
"ChemNutra, which imported the wheat gluten linked to last month's massive pet-food recall, says it is concerned its Chinese supplier spiked the product.In a letter on ChemNutra's website, Chief Executive Steve Miller said, "We are concerned that we may have been the victim of deliberate and mercenary contamination for the purpose of making the wheat gluten we purchased appear to have a higher protein content than it did." Melamine is "simply not a chemical even on the radar screen for food ingredient suppliers," he wrote. "

Now this is an innovative idea.
May as well put those texting teens to work for the benefit of their community.
Since every teen seems to have a cell phone (how do they afford those hefty phone bills anyway?) and is texting like there’s no tomorrow, how about using them to stop crime?
That’s what’s being done at a pilot program in 10 Chicago schools.
"Crime Stoppers of Cook County is even offering rewards to tipsters whose information produces arrests. For murder cases, that can involve up to $1,000. "Practically every student these days has a cell phone. Students are texting each other messages faster than they can dial a number,'' Police Supt. Jody Weis said in announcing the pilot program with Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan."We want them to text a tip to the police -- a tip that could potentially save their life or someone else's."All text messages must begin with the letters "cpd'' and can include common text abbreviations.”
Read about it in the Chicago Sun-Times
HERE
Interesting that the messages have to be sent to Canada to be encrypted. Maybe they will come back in French. Go figure.

I don't know why I checked the Wisconsin Court System's site...something just made me do it.
I knew Eddie Lynn Keck had been sentenced on September 3rd...I guess I knew sometimes additional text is added to the site after the trial. So I went back.
I was surprised to see "Case Closed" already. I remember when it would take months to get cases updated on the site. I was more surprised by what I found when I entered the case. I didn't expect to see the detail and it just gave me a heavy heart....

Eddie Lynn Keck Sentencing - Do You think He will find God in Prison? (09/06/08)
_______________________________________________________________
Eddie Lynn Keck was sentenced to 36 years in prison for killing of Gary Kitchen, 53, and his wife, Barbara, 52.
Now the special prosecutor will be sending his recommendations to our Licensing Committee of Alderman Solomon, Alderman Taylor and Alderman Wilhelm so they can make a determination as to what should happen to the Buckhorn Tavern and bartenders licenses.
So, does the Committee go solely off of that recommendation? Who knows...we will wait as the wheels of "due process" turn.
In the meantime, as Keck goes off to prison, I wonder if he will find God, as so many criminals do while they are locked up. I ask because of a comment I received on this yesterday from "Suzanna." I don't know if Keck is a religious man already. Perhaps he is. But the topic of the comment was forgiveness. It's an interesting read. Check it out below.

Update ~
When Eddie Lynn Keck plead Guilty on June 23rd, his sentencing date was scheduled for July 24, 2008.

Franklin Police Reports
By CNI staff
Posted: Aug. 13, 2008
A 45-year-old woman was arrested for disorderly conduct for fighting with other patrons at Buckhorn Tavern, 9461 S. 27th St., at 11:50 a.m. Aug. 7.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's hope the Police Chief informed the "special prosecutor" of this incident just in case any bartender or alcohol issues were involved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
According to my Alderman, Steve Taylor, he has notified the City Clerk's office to make sure this incident did not go unnoticed.
He said that every six months the clerk’s office runs an incident report on local bars and sends findings to License Committee. They automatically run a report if there may be issues with revoking a License.

You hear a lot about families with troubled kids. Kids dropping out of school, joining up with gangs, doing violent crimes. Eventually someone gets hurt or someone gets killed. Then blame is handed out. There is always a lot of blame. It isn’t very often that the blame takes a full circle and comes back to the parents, though. Usually the parents are blaming everyone else instead.
In Cleveland, Ohio there is a small group of woman who are on the streets trying to be moms. That’s because they’ve lost their real children…killed on the streets. Instead of taking the easy way out and blaming everyone else, they are taking the responsibility. They know their sons were "tearing up the community." They’re telling people it’s time “to take the blinders off.”
These mothers are working against youth violence in Cleveland
