Incidentlog.com, an online crime-mapping and database service, has announced the addition of Boston Police homicide and violent crime data into it's national database of police and fire events combined with google maps. The Boston feed is updated once per week from public data posted on the Boston Police department's website

http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/Default.aspx

Incidentlog.com incorporates this data with Google Maps' recently released application programming interface (API) to pinpoint the location of crimes and incidents on a zoomable/scrollable map. Google's maps differ than competitor mapping strategies in that they are more navigable by allowing users to click and drag

pan the maps in any direction, without having to wait for the web page to reload.

Incidentlog.com was formed in February '05 and currently has a database of 1.5 million events and has over 55 national feeds continuously updated to a freely browsable central database. Users can research neighborhood police reports online at the city or street level and setup alerts to be notified when events occur in areas they wish to monitor.

Future additions will include city-based RSS

police/fire/911 feeds, and radius-searching.

5. Define the alternative. Connor says legalizing gay adoptions would deprive children of having a loving mom and dad. To dodge that dilemma, the media and gay adoption advocates focus on the millions of kids whose alternative to being adopted by a well-off gay couple is far worse than being adopted by a well-off straight couple. They profile gay couples who have taken in orphans, sick or abused children, and Asian kids for whom adoptive parents are hard to find. Connor says it would be better to get straight couples to adopt these kids. But until he recruits enough volunteers, hell have to explain why living in an orphanage or with a drug-addicted mom is better than having two dads.
