* Do you recall the story about the Asian Carp migrating up the Illinois River that we posted on December 2? We had that fascinating video HERE showing scores of the fish jumping out of the water as a boat passes by. The focus of the story was on the fear that then encroaching species was about to get into the Great Lakes via the Chicago ship canal.
Last week the State of Michigan filed for an injunction in the U. S. Supreme Court against the Army Corps of Engineers to force them to keep the locks closed that connect the two bodies of water. Read the background in our first report HERE (and watch the funny video), then watch this video report from WFLD-TV Chicago on the legal challenge by Michigan:
* Sunday morning the city of Northampton, Massachusetts, had a series of 11 arsons in a span of 73 minutes (Firegeezer video report HERE) that left two people dead in one house. Today the NFD released the dispatch tapes of the radio activity and they have been transcribed onto a set of three YouTube recordings. Our correspondent Richard C., who sent along the link, refers to them as “a dispatcher’s nightmare.” CLICK HERE to listen to them and see if you agree.
