In Brooklyn, forensic poop-snoop
RESIDENTS at One Brooklyn Bridge Park condominium complex, in Brooklyn, N.Y., must now have their dogs' DNA tested and registered. Owners can no longer get away with not cleaning up their dogs' feces, urine and vomit. Using forensic science in the form of a product called Poo Prints, building management can identify scofflaws and levy $250 fines per incident. Overall, the program has proven to be a significant deterrent; since enforcement began in May, seven matches have been made.

* The spotted Egyptian mau may well descend from the cats worshipped by ancient Egyptians. Who wouldn't worship a cat depicted on a 3,400-year-old tomb as retrieving a duck? The present-day mau loves to fetch toys and is a highly competent hunter of live prey if given the chance. Reserved toward strangers, he is fiercely loyal to his family and chortles to them in a quiet, melodious voice. The mau's medium-length coat has silky, fine fur in silver, bronze, smoke and black, plus blue versions of those colors. His light-colored eyes are described as gooseberry green.
