Long island teacher rearrested for writing letters to male student

Long Island teacher's obsession with her former student has gotten her busted for a third time.
Heather Kennedy, 26, was sentenced on Friday to six months time served for bedding the 16-year-old boy last year - once having sex in his car in the parking lot at Wantagh High School, where she was his math teacher.
Early Saturday cops swooped in and rearrested Kennedy at her Massapequa home, accusing her of writing the teen from jail, a violation of an order of protection taken out against her.
Kennedy was arraigned Saturday and released on $15,000 bail. She now faces an additional year behind bars.
"This defendant disgraced not only her school, but her community and the entire teaching profession," said Nassau County Assistant District Attorney Jaime Johnson.
Kennedy sent three handwritten letters to the boy from August to December, prosecutors said.
Kennedy's lawyer, Steven Zimmerman, argued that authorities became aware of the letters months ago, but didn't act on them until Saturday.
Nassau County cops said they didn't learn of the letters until Friday night and made the arrest several hours later.
The former teacher, who is still on probation for the trysts, is no longer hot for student, Zimmerman said.
"Heather's taken responsibility for her actions," he said. "She said that the romance isn't a viable situation and she's moved on."
Kennedy was first arrested in March of last year after her young lover confessed that the two had had sex in the car. more

White rats are solving mice problem

They have started using a pair of domesticated white rats to scare the mice away.

Rodents are a huge problem in India, consuming tonnes of grain intended for human consumption every year.

The experiment has now attracted the attention of animal experts, who think it could be a solution to the problem.

Despite all the modern weapons available to them, the police in Haryana had until now failed to combat the population of rodents feeding their way through official documents and other critical evidence.

The situation was particularly bad in the central district of Karnal, where armies of mice have, over the years, destroyed many court records.

"Innumerable rodents have invaded the Moharar Maalkhana [record room] and we have been helpless," said the senior superintendent of Karnal, Arshinder Singh Chawla.

"These rats or mice are voracious eaters and have chewed up vital papers, clothing and even the jute [rough fibre] sacks we normally use to store narcotics, illicit alcohol and weapons confiscated from criminals and crime scenes," he said.

But now, Mr Chawla and his men seem to have found an unlikely solution to their problem in a pair of albino relatives of the pest rodents.

Rodents eat their way through tonnes of food in India every year"About a month ago, a man from Ambala [a nearby town] suggested that we use domesticated white rats," the officer said.
Willing to try just about anything, the Karnal police purchased two white rats from a laboratory animals supplier for 200 rupees ($4; £3).

"It is working like magic," he said.
"My men have been releasing them in the Maalkhana every night and the pests have just disappeared.

"And the best part is that our guards don't touch the documents or the poppy husk, we keep them well fed on a diet of fresh milk and roti," said Mr Chawla. more
