A woman responding to a break-in in her garage found a man having sexual intercourse with her 4-year-old female rottweiler, police said Wednesday. "It was consensual!"
The woman called police Tuesday night after finding the 20-year-old man. Isn't that more of a "morning" kind of thing? The bars must have closed early that night.
Police arrested the man, who they say had a prior conviction for the same crime less than six months ago. "That was consensual, too!"
"This is the first time that I've ever seen this... and I've been in law enforcement a long time," said Lt. Sam Hanley, who leads the department's sex crimes unit. A neighborhood full of dogs and this guy has to pick the ugliest one!
The man was booked into Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of criminal sodomy and aggravated burglary. "That's ludicrous, Your Honor! There's no way I could have burgled anything with that dog there! I couldn't get past her eyes!"
The burglary was included because the man is suspected of breaking into the garage while someone was home, police said. Given that Fido makes a crappy guard dog, it seems as though he may have succeeded.
He had lived with the family for a while last year in the 3700 block of East Clark, police said. "John, how could you?!"
"Mrs. Smith! What are you doing home?!"
"Woof!"
The man pleaded no contest to having sex with an animal last September in Reno County and was fined $353, according to court documents. As often as he seems to get caught, it's probably worth it.
He also can be found on an Internet Web site where people show photos and tell stories about sex with animals, Capt. Darrell Haynes said. What's he going to tell all his friends?
The rottweiler was not injured, Hanley said, but a Kansas Humane Society spokeswoman said the incident still qualifies as animal cruelty. The dog has all kinds of teeth but allows itself to get raped. This rottweiler must have Western values.
"It is abuse," said Jennifer Campbell, director of communications for the Kansas Humane Society. "That is committing a violent act toward that animal." She started with me, Your Honor! She was humping my leg!
Campbell said she hopes investigators explore whether the incident was an attempt to strike out at the dog's owners. I wonder how he'll explain this particular "terrorism/hate crime" charge on a job application.
"That's where a lot of animal cruelty starts," she said. Couldn't just key their car or something?
Research has shown that perpetrators "are frustrated and angry and upset, and animals are vulnerable," Campbell said. When I'm frustrated, angry, or upset this isn't the first thing that crosses my mind.

So when will we have the decision from our august SCOTUS on John Doe vs. Kansas? YJCMTSU. Come on, you know the legal fraternity wants to rule our everyday lives, so its got to happen someday.

"This is the first time that I've ever seen this...”
Ain’t it ironic how the coppers always say that in these man/beast sodomy-rape cases. I’ll bet his neighbors also describe the perp as “the quiet guy that always keeps to himself”.
A man who police said was caught having sexual intercourse with a female rottweiler this week was charged Thursday with a misdemeanor count of criminal sodomy.
Bond for Joshua Coman, 20, was set at $10,000, and District Judge Eric Yost entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Yost set a tentative trial date for March 6.
Wichita police said Coman was arrested Tuesday night after a woman acquaintance found him having sex with her 4-year-old female Rottweiler in her garage.
Kansas' sodomy law makes having sex with an animal a crime punishable by up to six months in jail.

Don't want to sound weird here but if it's not a crime against the owner you'd think he'd just got to the pound and adopt the love of his life and avoid the whole burglary part of the crime.
A pathologist has determined that Kathleen Savio, the third wife of former Bolingbrook, Ill., police Officer Drew Peterson, was the victim of a homicide, reported WMAQ-TV in Chicago.
Savio's body was exhumed in November after Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared and questions arose about Savio's death. Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow made the announcement in a Thursday press release. Dr. Larry W. Blum, the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy, concluded that the actual cause of Kathleen Savio's death was drowning and that the legal manner of death was homicide, according to a press release from Glasgow's office.
Blum's report was delivered to the Will County Coroner's Office on Thursday and immediately forwarded to the Will County State's Attorney's Office and the Illinois State Police, the release said. "Dr. Blum's forensic report renders his expert opinion that this is a homicide," Glasgow said in the release. "We have been investigating this as a murder since reopening the case in November of last year. We now have a scientific basis to formally and publicly classify it as such."
Savio's body was found in a bathtub in her home in 2004. Initially, her death was ruled accidental. No charges have been filed in Savio's death. Stacy Peterson, who vanished Oct. 28, 2007, remains missing.

If you let him go, he can look for their real killers.
Personally, I prefer the slower speed limits so I can waste more of my life on the road while at the same time suffering increased risk of accidents due to greater speed differences and inattention of bored drivers.
Some drivers would say that the United States is a crazy quilt of speed limits, with an emphasis on the "crazy."
Since 1995, states have been free to set their own maximum speed limits, leading to long debates on safety standards. To some folks, the speed limits are just insane -- either too low or too high, depending on their views about what makes driving safe.

Lovely, and here in Washington we can still enjoy those losers that use the left lane for low-spped trials. Moving to the right never entered their itty-bitty, Prius driving minds.
Wish i still had my 57 Olds with it's ramming speed bumper back......

Agreed USN - they are too self centered to even notice the 10-20 car lineup behind them as they go along 10-15 below the limit in the left lane.
Worse yet is being beind one on the onramp when it merges into traffic going 10-20 MPH below average causing an instant lineup - which then prevents you from merging behind them.
Speed limits should reflect the conditions - not some arbitrary number. Faster on long stright runs and lower or curves or more crowded conditions.

I got rear-ended by a lady some years back, pretty well destroyed her Oldsmobile's front, all I had to do was brush the glass off my truck's back bumper.
The insurance folks couldn't believe it when I told them "No Damage", they had to come see for themselves.

Crazy says, Speed limits should reflect the conditions - not some arbitrary number. Faster on long stright runs and lower or curves or more crowded conditions.
Crowded conditions ? You should drive west in NJ on 78 or 80 at rush hour. 75 to 80 MPH and bumper to bumper. The fuzz cruise the eastbound lanes and turn the other cheek. Not that I mind. personally, I think every rush hour should be a Daytona 500 warm up. Get home fast and kick back.

When they lifted the federal speed restrictions, New Mexico experienced no change in fatalities or accidents on the interstates. When the Chief of the state highway patrol was asked for his explanation, he replied that people were doing the same speed before the change. It's a lot of way to get from here to there. Not like folks who go through a significant urban or suburban area every couple hours or two elsewhere.
Rep. Rick Renzi, an Arizona Republican, has been indicted on federal charges following an investigation into his relationship with a former business partner regarding land deals, the Justice Department said Friday.
In a 35-count indictment, Renzi is charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering, extortion and insurance fraud. Federal investigators also were looking at whether Renzi's father was enriched by the lawmaker's relationship with the ex-business partner, according to the indictment.
Renzi has been under an ethical cloud since the FBI raided a family business last year. The FBI said it was investigating whether the congressman had used his office for personal gain. He stepped down from the House Intelligence Committee in April after the raid.
Renzi has denied any wrongdoing.
Renzi, a three-term member of the House, announced in August that he would not seek re-election. He represents Arizona's 1st Congressional District.
Federal prosecutors have scheduled a news conference Friday morning in Phoenix, Arizona, to announce details of the charges.
Security details at Barack Obama's rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena.
The order to put down the metal detectors and stop checking purses and laptop bags came as a surprise to several Dallas police officers who said they believed it was a lapse in security.
Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence, head of the Police Department's homeland security and special operations divisions, said the order -- apparently made by the U.S. Secret Service -- was meant to speed up the long lines outside and fill the arena's vacant seats before Obama came on. Looks like someone's gonna need to find themselves a new job in a little while.
"Sure," said Lawrence, when asked if he was concerned by the great number of people who had gotten into the building without being checked. But, he added, the turnout of more than 17,000 people seemed to be a "friendly crowd." Like the crowd in Dallas in 1963 seemed friendly enough. Except for one guy.
The Secret Service did not return a call from the Star-Telegram seeking comment. Looks like we may have found our culprit.
Doors opened to the public at 10 a.m., and for the first hour security officers scanned each person who came in and checked their belongings in a process that kept movement of the long lines at a crawl. Then, about 11 a.m., an order came down to allow the people in without being checked.
Several Dallas police officers said it worried them that the arena was packed with people who got in without even a cursory inspection. They spoke on condition of anonymity because, they said, the order was made by federal officials who were in charge of security at the event. Or someone else in the chain screwed up. Hopefully not on purpose.
"How can you not be concerned in this day and age," said one policeman.

Since NOBODY shot at him, this proves the dipshit "Checking at the door" is a total waste of time, and ineffective to boot.

Chance of applying Iraq logic?
"Since there was no attack there is no threat. The security detail is a waste of resources only adding to the fear of and contributing to such an attack. The security should be sent home immediately and a public apology made."

The only people who want to kill Obama are the Clintons; the GOP is salivating at the chance to royally whip this lefty-lib Ass in the general. As long as he stays out of Ark. and Ft. Marcy Park, he should be OK.
That is, unless there's some truth to the stories about crack and homo sex flying around about him. In that case, he'll need a Secret Service agent sleeping in the middle of his bed because his wife looks like she could be quite a piece to handle if she was steamed.
A new silicon chip developed in Melbourne is predicted to revolutionise the way household gadgets like televisions, phones and DVD players talk to each other.
The tiny five-millimetre-a-side chip can transmit data through a wireless connection at a breakthrough five gigabits per second over distances of up to 10 metres. An entire high-definition movie from a video shop kiosk could be transmitted to a mobile phone in a few seconds, and the phone could then upload the movie to a home computer or screen at the same speed.
The "GiFi" was unveiled today...
...His chip uses only a tiny one-millimetre-wide antenna and less than two watts of power, and would cost less than $10 to manufacture.
It uses the 60GHz "millimetre wave" spectrum to transmit the data, which gives it an advantage over WiFi (wireless internet). WiFi's part of the spectrum is increasingly crowded, sharing the waves with devices such as cordless phones, which leads to interference and slower speeds.
But the millimetre wave spectrum (30 to 300 GHz) is almost unoccupied, and the new chip is potentially hundreds of times faster than the average home WiFi unit. However, WiFi still benefits from being able to provide wireless coverage over a greater distance.

60GHZ takes some expensive stuff. Chips get strange... No wires on your circuit board for signals... just waveguides.
More power to them but its not going to be cheap.
The five minute video at the link is way more informative than this article.
Researchers with Princeton University and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have found a flaw that renders disk encryption systems useless if an intruder has physical access to your computer -- say in the case of a stolen laptop or when a computer is left unattended on a desktop in sleep mode or while displaying a password prompt screen.
The attack takes only a few minutes to conduct and uses the disk encryption key that's stored in the computer's RAM.
The attack works because content as well as encryption keys stored in RAM linger in the system, even after the machine is powered off, enabling an attacker to use the key to collect any content still in RAM after reapplying power to the machine.
"We've broken disk encryption products in exactly the case when they seem to be most important these days: laptops that contain sensitive corporate data or personal information about business customers," said J. Alex Halderman, one of the researchers, in a press release. "Unlike many security problems, this isn't a minor flaw; it is a fundamental limitation in the way these systems were designed."
The researchers successfully performed the attack on several disk encryption systems -- Apple's FileVault, Microsoft's BitLocker, as well as TrueCrypt and dm-crypt -- but said they have no reason to believe it won't work on other disk encryption systems as well, since they all share similar architectures.
They released a paper about their work as well as a video demonstration of the attack (below).

Folks this has ALWAYS been the weak point of any system - if it has to be loaded to and kept in RAM, then its vulnerable.
However, there are differently designed systems out there which use a hardware key and circuit (think smart card) through which all the decryption is done, thus the key only exists in the card, and is only present when the hardware is attached. The method in this article cannot break a system that works that way.
If you have a DirecTV, then you have such a system. I know people on the cryptosystem implementation team back in 92-3 (don't ask), and Adi Shamir, the 'S' in RSA, did the cryptosystem, which uses hardware for private key. Irish hackers resorted to using a scanning electron microscope to do key recovery on the initial wave of smart cards.
Any system can be cracked, therefore is not "secure". The only "secure" computer is one that is turned off, encased in concrete, buried 1000 feet in the earth and guarded by a heavy armored division and patriot missiles.
Even smart cards have risks, since they are used by people.
The whole idea of the concept is to make it so difficult to breach a system is that it makes 99% of the potential attackers not worth trying or the risks are much greater than the reward. That way you can keep the other 1%, which is usually foreign agents, under constant scrutiny.

Watched the video -- it would be a concern were I trying to protect state secrets from James Bond. I'd be just as happy if idiot Connecticut state workers would simply encrypt my tax form on their laptop when they decide to leave it at a local tavern. In Connecticut this has happened twice in one friggin' year, and nothing has happened -- no firings no recriminations... I know I am ranting, but this is the right burg, no?

Wouldn't a temp file dump and over-wright before going into standby or hibernate cure the problem for the cost of adding a few lines of code to the machine?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
