Nepal Buddha Boy Missing.

Posted by Alex in Religion on March 11, 2006 at 5:02 pm

We’ve blogged Ram Banjan (also spelled Bamjan), a teenage boy dubbed "Boy Buddha of Nepal", and the controvery surrounding his meditation.

Now, Ram has suddenly gone mising after 10 months of meditation.

It was still unclear when he went missing, but initial reports said he was last seen on Friday.

Subedi said police were investigating if the boy just wandered into the jungle or was abducted by local robbers.

DNA Can Predict Your Name.

Posted by Alex in Crime & Law, Science & Tech on March 11, 2006 at 2:11 pm

Mark Jobling of the University of Leicester and colleagues discovered that – although not perfect, DNA can predict surname of male suspects:

The researchers extrapolated their success rate to the 25-65 no-suspect murders and 300-400 no-suspect rapes on the police books each year, and found the method could help in roughly 10 murders and 60 rapes annually.
