Through DNA technology, a Mineola man was charged earlier this month in connection with a sexual assault of a girl at an East Texas camp six years ago.

Caylon Whittington, 29, was booked into the Smith County Jail on Monday after police arrested him in Llano County on April 6 for allegedly inappropriately touching a girl while she slept at Sky Ranch Camp near Van in March 2015.

He has been charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit a sex offense and he remains in the Smith County Jail on a $250,000 bond.

The Smith County Sheriffs Office responded to the report of a sexual assault on March 8 six years ago. The report stated an unknown white male entered into a cabin at night and inappropriately touched the girl in the bed, and the male was seen by a female chaperone at the camp before he fled on foot.

The girl received a sexual assault exam and forensic interview at the Childrens Advocacy Center of Smith County, and she gave a detailed account of the assault and description of the suspect, the sheriffs office said.

Investigators spoke with several persons of interest matching the victims description and searched the area. Officers met with Whittington at that time, but he denied knowing anything about the incident at Sky Ranch. At that time, he lived near the camp and his address was about 1 mile from the cabin.

On Oct. 15 last year, a notification showed a DNA match from the sexual assault exam. The Combined DNA Index System, also known as CODIS, is a national database that includes DNA profiles of convicted offenders, profiles developed from evidence in unsolved crimes and profiles developed for the identification of missing persons.

The match appeared to be Whittington, and the Texas Department of Public Safety crime lab requested a sample from Whittington for further examination, the sheriffs office said.

After getting a warrant for the DNA sample, results from the DPS lab returned on April 1 this year showed Whittington as a match, according to police.

A warrant for burglary of a habitation with intent to commit a sex offense charge was then issued.

Professional Sports Authenticator Acquires Genamint to Introduce Next-Generation Technology to Grading Process - PRNewswire

Washington, DC, April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- April 21, 2021 (WASHINGTON, DC) On eve of the 51st anniversary of Earth Day the Diesel Technology Forum issued the following statement:

President Biden has brought a new emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and tackling the climate challenge. Meeting this challenge will not have simple one-size fits all solutions, nor uniform timetables. Even under the most optimistic scenarios, transition to new fuels and technologies in the transportation sector will not be linear and will take considerable time to reach commercial scale and market acceptance. In the meantime, the further improvement and turnover to new generation of advanced diesel technologies and the expanded use of biobased diesel fuels will ensure steady progress in reducing both greenhouse gas and other emissions across wide sectors of U.S. economy, said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum; a not-for-profit educational organization.

Diesel technology continues to evolve to further meet todays customer demands for more efficiency, greater performance and lower emission. As we move toward a low-carbon sustainable future, diesel technology is being defined by four trends: increasing energy efficiency, achieving even lower emissions, expanded use of biobased diesel fuels, and hybridization. Considerable progress in each area is happening today helping ports, cities, communities and the entire goods movement system meet climate and clean air challenges, noted Schaeffer.

Across the board, todays generation of advanced diesel technologies are more energy efficient and lower in emissions than previous generations, and remain the technology of choice in key sectors like commercial trucking, marine, agriculture, construction and freight rail applications. Coupled with growing success using biobased diesel fuels, diesel engines are contributing substantially already to low-carbon goods movement in America.

In California, the results of using low-carbon biobased diesel fuels in efficient diesel engines is clear: In 2019, Californias use of biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels eliminated 6.6 million tons of CO2. Meanwhile, use of electric cars and trucks in the state resulted in only 2.7 million tons of CO2 reductions in 2019 almost one third of the emissions reductions delivered by diesel engines using biodiesel fuels. Renewable diesel fuels contribution even edged out the reductions delivered by ethanol. Since the states Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program began in 2011, biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel have eliminated more than 25 million tons of CO2, according to the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Even as manufacturers explore other fuels and technology options, continued investments in diesel are essential to meet customer demand and are strong indicators about the future for advanced diesel engines. Today, 13 states are home to heavy-duty diesel engine manufacturing, supporting $4 trillion in U.S. economic activity and more than 1.25 million American jobs. It is clear that diesel technologies are and will remain a key piece of the global transportation and goods movement systems for decades to come, said Schaeffer.

Today, diesel remains the dominant technology in long-haul trucking, powering 97 percent of Class 8 big-rig trucks in the United States. A growing percentage of diesel-powered commercial trucks rely on the newest-generation diesel technologies, which deliver near-zero emissions performance while using less fuel. Consider that since 2011, these more than 4.9 million new-generation commercial diesel trucks have already delivered reductions of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2)) in an amount equivalent to eliminating 26 million light-duty vehicles from the fleet or converting those to all electric vehicles. The use of new-generation diesel trucks has removed more than 18 million tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 126 million tons of CO2, compared to previous generations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimate that the Commercial Vehicle Fuel Economy and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Standards Phase 1 rules saved 270 million tons CO2 and 530 million barrels of oil between 2014 and 2018, and that the Phase 2 rules will save another 1 billion tons of CO2 and nearly 2 billion barrels of oil between 2021 and 2027. Research commissioned by the Diesel Technology Forum confirms that the majority of these significant benefits will be delivered by more efficient diesel trucks.

New diesel trucks are so clean that it would take more than 60 new-generation diesel trucks to equal the emissions from one 1988 model truck. Even further progress for lower emissions is on the horizon, as truck and engine manufacturers work with the U.S. EPA on the Clean Truck Initiative, developing tomorrows generation of diesel engines. From coupling with hybrid-electric technology and battery-storage systems, to pushing thermal efficiency boundaries, to advanced waste-heat recovery systems, to utilizing high-quality biobased diesel fuels, new-generation advanced diesel technology is uniquely suited to enable commercial trucking to contribute to our sustainable future.

Diesel engines are the workhorses of the global economy. In every corner of the world, diesel engines make progress possible today; the planting and harvesting of agricultural products, the movement of people and goods, the mining of essential minerals, the delivery of clean drinking water, or power demands for reliable back up power. For many of these applications, diesel engines are and will be the only practical solution for decades to come.

When Oklahomas weather turns severe, an early warning can mean the difference between life and death.

In just a few days, people in Oologah will mark the 30th anniversary of an F4 tornado that caused millions of dollars in damage. That weather event isnt remembered for the lives lost, but for the lives saved.

Keeping you safe has been part of News On 6s mission for more than 70 years. And that was never clearer than on April 26, 1991 when a powerful tornado cut through Oologah.

News On 6 had just launched new technology that gave everyone in the storms path a 43-minute warning.

This important tool made its debut on News On 6 just in time just one day before the Oologah tornado outbreak and would be put to the test in a big way.

David Oldham created Pathfinder.

"We used to track storms in the weather office with a grease pencil and a highway map," Oldham said. "My thought was, 'well, why can't we try it with something where we can point to the radar then extrapolate the position of the storm in the future and see which cities would be affected from there.'"

The storm produced an F-4 tornado and destroyed more than 60 homes. It caused $12 million in damage to the Oologah-Talala school buildings. Although the damage was extensive, no lives were lost.

It is, in part, because of Pathfinder and Oldham.

Pathfinder was working like a charm that night. It was just incredible, the amount of warning we were able to give people, Oldham reflected. After the fact, going out into the field and hearing people say, Jim Giles and Pathfinder saved my life [was] an incredible experience.

Almost three decades after the storms of April 26, 1991, Oklahomans still count on technology such as Pathfinder to stay ahead of the storm.

Its something Oklahomans deal with every spring, but they can have a little more certainty, Oldham stated. "It still gives me some pride that I was able to come up with the idea, develop it and get it implemented.
