| Dog Decapitated In Coyote Trap
DUNLAP, Tenn. - A man and his son walking their dog saw the animal decapitated when it put its head in a trap baited with bacon. The trap is commonly used to kill coyotes and is legal in Tennessee. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency spokesman Dan Hicks said officers are searching for the trap owner, but probably will not file charges because the dog had strayed onto another person's property. A spokesman for the Humane Society said the traps are like land mines for animals. He said there is no data showing how many domestic animals are killed in traps each year, but it's common enough that trappers can buy insurance for it. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press.

Show notes - November 21 & 24, 2007
I think of it this way: we "outsource" a lot of our work as well, but in our case to machines. These machines take up a lot of energy to manufacture and operate, making our ecological footprint very large. Many major global issues, such as climate change, are the effects of this long-term outsourcing. In India you have many different socio-economic situations, with those with more money hiring "outsourcing" some of their work to those with less money. In order to take on higher-level jobs in high-tech, we need to outsource some of our normal day-to-day work. Given the energy and other global issues, is it really more ethical or long-term sustainable to outsource to machines rather than people? I listened to the full interview with Anand. I was immediately thinking how Outsourcing 2.0 fit into the whole debate about the form of the knowledge economy.

Exclusive: Sex slaves by police station
If you can recall the Fred West case in Gloucester, when women were murdered, cut up and hidden amongst the walls, and neither police nor neighbours ever imagined what was going on. Things happen all over the place, and people do not notice. That is the society we live in. There would be no reason for police to notice, when they come out of Croydon police station to tackle crime. Or should they stop just around the corner in case there is a building with funny goings-on in it??? Perhaps a police officer to stand outside each and every home in the borough? Are you willing to pay for it?? .
Saturday Question
I'm almost all the way relaxed and ready to take on the day (as Dr. Laura Schlessinger might say, if you tuned into her program with a relational problem) when I return to work. I appreciate that you folks have played nice today and hope you continue to do so. I also hope you enjoy the nice weather that has moved in on Coeur d'Alene. You can find your next-to-last unattended vacation Wild Card here. .

Also gone was his ability to taste and smell. Savoring his favorite food — meatloaf — was out of the question.The doctors told McArthur he would never play baseball again.They told his mother, Valerie Bullock, that he would be paralyzed and unable to truly communicate. But Bullock had no doubt her son would come back to play again."My faith never, ever wavered from the fact that he'd be back and he'd be stronger," Bullock said.She woke up at 7 a.m. every day to take care of her son, driving him to a rehab clinic three times per week in Clearwater from late November 2003 through January 2004, and she watched as he struggled to relearn the game of baseball.McArthur called her his "stone" through the process.Four years later, there's not much to complain about. He regained all his motor functions, his swing and his spot on the team, and the only thing he's missing is his sense of smell and taste."I can tell hot and cold, but that's about it," McArthur said.
Expert To Figure Out What Killed Dozens Of Dogs
A renowned expert on sicknesses that strike dogs visited the Miami-Dade County Animal Shelter on Friday. She is trying to figure out what is making so many dogs so sick, even killing some. Animal Services Department Director Dr. Sara Pizano hopes that by taking swabs from a dog's nose and mouth, she may be able to find out what is behind the mysterious deaths of at least 15 dogs this week. The canine infectious disease specialist traveled from the University of Florida in Gainesville after vets at the shelter found that a streptococcus bacteria had sickened the dogs, but couldn't figure out what else could have killed them. After taking several swabs and blood samples Crawford will take them back to her lab and to California. She is hopeful to find an answer for the highly contagious disease that begins with kennel cough, turns to blood in the lungs, then death.
