A the big change is that innocent people Are being killed a said Bob Fuesel executive director of the Chicago crime commission. A it Wasny to that Way before. Gangsters used to just kill other  police commander Robert beavers a 34-year Veteran of the Chicago Force said the easy availability of automatic and semiautomatic guns has contributed to the randomness of violence. A bullets have no ones name on them a beavers said. A they Start shooting and there a no telling what they re going to  during the first eight months of this year 606 people have been killed in Chicago compared with 555 during the same period last year police statistics show. There were 399 killed in 1928. At the height of the prohibition Era s Gangland violence. The current killing rate at about 33 victims per 100,000 people is nearly triple the homicide rate during the roaring �?T20s.

Haney the associated press Boston a Gene splicers have created barnyard animals that make Large quantities of Medicine in their milk taking a big step toward the creation of a new Branch of agriculture a  the scientists already have transferred human genes into goats and sheep turning these animals into pharmaceutical factories. And they Are close to doing the same with the ultimate barnyard milk maker the cow. Genetic engineers now routinely shift human genes into bacteria yeast and tissue cultures so they will produce usable quantities of otherwise rare human proteins for treating disease. The goal is to do the same with larger a much larger a creatures capable of churning out vastly greater amounts. A we Are very close to having commercially useful quantities said or. Vernon g. Pursel a research physiologist at the . Department of agriculture in Beltsville my. A we May be  for instance a genetically modified sheep in Scotland produced up to two ounces a Day of a human protein used to treat a form of emphysema. This is four months Supply for one patient. Three reports on the creation of so called transgenic animals Are being published in today s Issue of the journal biotechnology. The first transgenic animals a to make foreign proteins in their milk were mice created by scientists four years ago. Researchers have also designed other Gene altered animals including cattle but the goal has been to change the size and characteristics of the animals not produce human proteins in milk. Pursel who experiments with transgenic pigs said the latest reports a May be significant advances a but a there Are other big hurdles besides boosting production. Among them Are efficiently separating the proteins from the milk making sure they Are pure and testing them to see How they compare with human proteins. He and others predicted it could take five to 10 years to get animal made proteins onto the Market. In one of the new reports researchers from Tufts University a veterinary school in Grafton and enzyme corp. Of Cambridge described the first successful creation of transgenic goats that produce a human protein in their milk. Their first female produced milk with tissue Plasmin Ogen activator or spa a protein widely used to treat heart attacks. But the amounts of spa were tiny a about 3 milligrams in each liter of milk. Experts generally agree that transgenic animals must make one Gram or More of human protein per liter to compete economically with other Gene splicing techniques. Or. Karl m. Ebert director of experimental biotechnology at the veterinary school said the researchers have since produced a Goat that makes 3 Grams of spa per  another article in the journal dutch researchers from the University of Leiden and Gene charming Europe said or. Karl m. Ebert of Tufts University is surrounded by genetically manipulated goats. They had produced the first transgenic Dairy cattle intended to produce milk with human Lacto Ferrin an Iron binding protein. Their first animal was a Bull so it could not manufacture the protein. Another team from pharmaceutical proteins Ltd. And the afrc1 Institute of animal physiology and genetics research in Edinburgh produced three sheep that made human Alphal anti try syn in their milk. This enzyme is used to prevent life threatening emphysema in people who cannot make the substance on their own. Woman says she never intended to have teen Ager s mom killed Houston up a a woman accused of plotting a murder to. Help her daughter become a cheerleader tearfully and repeatedly told jurors Friday that she never intended to have anyone slain kidnapped or harmed. Wanda Webb Holloway is charged with solicitation of capital murder and attempted kidnapping in the alleged plot. She testified in the fifth Day of her trial.

Holloway said she believed heaths daughter Amber was the chief obstacle that would Stop her own daughter Shanna Harper from becoming a cheerleader. Prosecutors say Heath and her daughter were initial targets but that Holloway settled on Heath because she could not afford both killings. She also believed Amber would be so distraught by her mothers death that she would drop out of the cheerleader Competition. A i have never wanted Verna or Amber Heath killed a never a Holloway tearfully told jurors.

She blamed Heath Tor the fact Shanna was not allowed to try out for cheerleader in 1989. Holloway allegedly contacted her former brother in Law Terry Harper to act As a middleman and locate a hired killer for her. Harper the states chief witness has testified about meetings and Telephone Calls with Holloway in which the alleged scheme was discussed. A a in a sure when people get angry they say things a Holloway said. A i have a tendency to run my Mouth some and i was very angry. I never realized Terry was serious. I never really figured this was going to happen. I never believed  Holloway a attorneys say Harper framed Holloway As part of an elaborate scheme to help his brother Holloway a former husband gain custody of the couples two teen age children. Holloway testified that Harper first brought up the idea of a hired killing after a Chance meeting Between the two at a Channelview convenience store. But she said she discussed the matter with him in a Telephone Call several months later. A i was curious because in be never known anyone who would go out and kill people a she said. A did you Ever give Terry Harper the impression you had a problem you needed to have taken care of asked Troy Mckinney Holloway a attorney. A i done to believe i did other than just ranting and raving about the cheerleader stuff a she  Indian chief Dies at age 102 rapid City .
