There was an interview on the today program this morning with a priest who was there trying to calm things down who said there were loads of kids there (he spoke to one as young as 9) throwing stones at the police who seemed to be treating rioting as entertainment with very little to do with any of the many issues involved.

Naked Mannequin Creates a Stir
http://beatricedailysun.com/news/lo...68-8bd5-11df-9860-001cc4c03286.html
>>The Beatrice Police Department received a complaint from a citizen earlier this week about a mannequin in the window of Hannah’s Treasures who’s pants had fallen down around its ankles.<<
Also, for all the grammar nazis like me, note the wrong spelling in the passage cited above.

Someone has succeeded in genetically modifying mosquitoes to be immune to the malaria parasite. If these mosquitos are then released into the wild and manage to outcompete the original mosquitos it could mean the end of malaria. Of course for them to do that they´d need an advantage over the other mosquitos, which so far they don´t have. Also you never know if some environmental group puts a stop to it all.
