Happy Blogiversary.. To Me


After 879 posts, and 365 days... we've made it. We' ve reached that all important marker in a blogs life... Lost in Lima Ohio is now a year old. 58,872 visitors... 117,550 page views... not to shabby for a little blog from a little town.

I say we, because this lil blog would be nothing without the assistance of all those bloggers who have been kind enough to link to it, from some of the first- Richard at Hyscience, Dan at Riehl World View, and of course I could never forget the grandaddy of crime bloggers, Steve at Huff's Crime Blog, to some of the bloggers who have linked, and linked, and linked again... like Trench at News of Doom, Tina at Randomized Drivel and CUG at The Conservative UAW Guy. Then there are those bloggers who just make life a little more fun for me- Sam at The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns, and Mac at MacStansbury.org There are blogging buddies, J Rob's House of Opinions, A Rose By Any Other Name, Beyond Frazzled, Home Sweet Home, T.O. Crime, SSCAT.

Most important this blog would be nothing without it's readers, and commenters. Yep, all those Anonymous people who read and say nothing, or read and say something... and those who aren't so anonymous too:

Mike, you've always been kind and I have incredible respect for your strength and courage to fight the good fight, you have my support. Suzie, Anna, Mag, Tina, Home Sweet Home, Trench, CUG, ~Mel, Harding, Fixcat, Barn Goddess, ~Miss Lisa, Optymyst, Imahologram, MistyLT, thpunishrr, Capt. Fantastic , bblonde3434, and many many more- thank all of you so much!

Happy Birthday, Lilo!
And folks, she is being modest. She not only has survived her first year, she not only fights the good fight, she also gets the credit/blame for getting me started. Without her assistance, Home Sweet Home would never have been born.
So Lilo, not only Happy Birthday, but a big Thank You also.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
