Ex-Klansman gets 60 years

The trial of Edgar Ray Killen for murders in 1964 didn't take long to finish. Forty years after the murders, Killen is finally brought to trial. He is already 80 years old, suffering from breaking both legs in March, and requires an oxygen tank. Therefore, the judge sentenced him to 60 years in a jail that is 70% black. When he's 140, he can be released (perhaps earlier for good behavior). The judge explained, "The law does not recognize a distinction of age." I would give him 2 years max to survive prison conditions. However, I also have to consider that inmates have access to pretty good health care programs.

California earthquakes

California is going to fall into the Pacific Ocean yet. The news seems to be reporting another large earthquake each day. How long does this need to keep up before we lose San Francisco or Los Angeles?

I saw a graphic on the news showing the locations of all these recent earthquakes, but I couldn't find one online for my news link.

Don't eat it, Johnny!!

A glue spill. I don't think glue on the freeway qualifies under the 5 second rule.

Let's practice medical percussion

Breasts really can get a person in trouble. Nobody wants them exposed in public. Even if it is for a genuine purpose. Look at what happened at King George's Medical University in Lucknow.

I promise you that there are headlines out there that do not involve female anatomy. I just haven't found any worth noting yet.

Breast-feeding debate

This article was linked on fark.com with the comment "People are actively trying to see naked breasts all the time" and labeled as "Obvious."

While waiting in line at the flower show on Dayton's 8th floor, I saw two mothers breast-feeding on a bench. Very public, yet I saw no breasts. As one physiologist said in the article, "It isn't so much that people don't want to see the breast. They just don't want to see it used that way." I looked at them regularly as we passed [Not so much it seemed like staring, I hope.], but they dutifully covered their chests with baby attached by use of a simple blanket. It made me look more, but I still saw nothing.

They say a sex scene in a movie is more erotic if you do not actually see any sex. Is that why I kept looking at these women as they performed a natural act of motherhood?
