Got Milk!

If you think a mother’s breast milk is only used to feed her children then think again, because you are wrong.

Daniel Angerer, the chef of Klee Brasserie in NYC told a local NY reporter that he uses his wife’s breast milk in many of his dishes.

Angerer said the milk, which is mostly used to make cheeses, does not curdle because of its low protein content and it “tastes like cow’s milk, kind of sweet.”

The chef said after blogging about adding the human milk to his chesses, customers started demanding a sample.

“The phone was ringing off the hook.  So I prepared a little canapé of breast-milk cheese with figs and Hungarian pepper,” the chef told the reporter.

But not all of Angerer’s customers are happy about his secret ingredient. The chef’s wife, Lori Mason said most of the criticism has to do with “the combination of sex and cheese, but…the breast is there to make food,”

She said since her husband started offering customers a taste of her milk she has been inundated with creepy queries. The mother of 10 weeks-old Arabella said she receives email from people saying they would like to try her breast milk since they were not breast-fed as a child.

A spokesperson for the department of health says even though department codes do not explicitly forbid the practice, they have advised Angerer to refrain from sharing his wife’s milk.

I wonder whose milk Angerer is planning to use when his wife is not longer breast feeding.

Three people were shot early this morning on the campus of Ohio State University after a gunman opened fire, university officials said.

Shortly before 3:30 a.m. Tuesday police were called to the Columbus campus of the university where they found three people shot near a maintenance building adjacent to the football stadium.

One person was pronounced dead on the scene and the others were rushed to the university hospital.

It is unclear if the suspect is one of the three people who were shot.

Authorities say none of the victims were students.

Hours before a death row inmate was to be executed by lethal inject, authorities say he took an overdose of pills in his cell causing Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland to postpone his execution.

Prison officials said just before 11:30 p.m. Sunday, inmate Lawrence Reynolds Jr. was found unconscious at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown hours before his Tuesday March 9, execution.

Reynolds was under a 72-hour watch, which is routine for inmates approaching an execution date.

The 43-year-old man was taken to a Youngstown hospital where he is currently listed in stable condition.

An investigation is currently underway to determine what kind of pills Reynolds took and where he got them.

Reynolds was on death row for killing a neighbor in 1994.  He was scheduled to be executed on Tuesday.

Gov. Strickland issued a seven-day reprieve and rescheduled the execution for March 16.

Can someone explain to me why taxpayer’s dollars are being used to keep this man alive if the system is going to kill him in seven days?

Update: 3/10/10

Authorities identified the 70-year-old man who murdered police officer Vu Pham as former politician Fred Preston.

It is alleged that Preston shot and killed Pham as soon as he got out of his cruiser.

Original story

An Ontario Provincial Police Officer was shot and killed on Monday by a 70-year-old suspect on a quiet rural road in Southwestern Ontario, authorities confirmed.

The officer, OPP Const. Vu Pham was responding to a domestic dispute call around 10:18 a.m. when he pulled over a white pickup truck on North Line.

Authorities say as Pham, 37, was attempting to stop the vehicle, the suspect opened fire hitting the officer several times.

The officer was airlifted to London Health Science Center where he was later pronounced dead.

Authorities say before Pham went down, he fired at the suspect, whose identity has not yet been released, striking him several times.

The suspect was taken to London Victoria Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.

It is unclear if the traffic stop was related to the domestic dispute call.

Pham, who is originally from Vietnam, leaves behind his wife, Heather and their three children, Tyler, 12, Jordan, 10 and Joshua, seven.

A 22-year-old New Yorker was shot and killed today after he pointed a fake gun at a police officer.

Around 2:50 p.m. Monday police received a 911 call that a man was threatening passersby with a gun outside Public School 194.

When police arrived, they found George D’Amato Jr. standing outside the Brooklyn elementary school with the imitation silver handgun.

D’Amato allegedly pointed the weapon at the officer, the officer allegedly yelled at the Gerritsen Beach resident to drop his weapon and when he refused, the officer fired three shots, hitting D’Amato.

D’Amato was taken to Coney Island Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A spokesperson for the Department of Education said no children were outside at the time of the shooting.

The officer who fired the fatal shots has been on the force less than two years.
