I was crossing Alligator Alley recently and noticed that along State Road 29 south of I75 all the way to Tamiami Trail there were new sections of fence being erected. Clearly this was to keep wildlife off of the roadway especially the Florida Panther. The only problem was that there were so many gaps of unfinished sections of fencing. So if anything entered the roadway it would have to go back the

Pfizer has started settling cases over its Celebrex and Bextra painkillers. More than 3,000 patients have claimed that the drugs caused heart attacks and strokes. Celebrex, which is in the same class of medicines as Merck’s recalled Vioxx, is Pfizer’s third-best-selling drug. The product is still on the market, and generated $2.3 billion in sales in 2007. Pfizer withdrew Bextra in April 2005 after it was tied to a potentially fatal skin condition. Pfizer has already reached settlements with three law firms representing more than 200 of the thousands who sued over the drugs. Firms have been offered $40,000 to $50,000 a client to resolve Bextra cases, and as much as $200,000 a client for Celebrex.

At least 41,000 missing as officials reveal tidal wave destroyed townYANGON, Myanmar - The death toll from a powerful cyclone that slammed into Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta was raised to more than 22,000 people on Tuesday, state media reported.An additional 41,000 people were missing as a result of the cyclone, which triggered a massive storm surge that swept inland and left people with nowhere to run, killing at least 10,000 people in one town alone. More deaths were caused by the tidal wave than the storm itself, Minister for Relief and Resettlement Maung Maung Swe told a news conference in the devastated former capital, Yangon, where food and water supplies are running low. The wave was up to 12 feet high and it swept away and inundated half the houses in low-lying villages, he said

Aquarium tank fish death is one of the common challenges faced by aquarists. There are number of factors that could be responsible for the deaths experienced. These are outlined briefly below: - The aquarist selection of fish. - The removal and packing of the fish from the pet shop - Transport time and period and the handling of the fish in transit - Quarantine procedure. - Adjustment and adaptation into the new community or environment by the new fish. When buying fish from the pet shop always spend some time at the place to inquire about the life history and habits of the new purchase. You can then make a selection from collection of the same species. Never buy the last specimen in reserve at any shop because if it had been a good specimen, you would not have met it there in the fi

(originally published at MWC News) The Falun Dafa Information Center is alarmed at a series of reports indicating adherents in China are being killed in custody within days, or even hours, of being detained by authorities. The Center expressed today that the escalating maltreatment is a direct result of efforts to “stamp out” Falun Gong prior to the summer Olympics. “The speed with which Falun Gong adherents are being seized by police, abused, and turning up dead is alarming and reprehensible,” says Falun Dafa Information Center spokesperson Ms. Gail Rachlin. “These are people who never should have been arrested in the first place. Arbitrary arrests, torture, and extrajudicial executions are no way to ‘prepare’ for the Olympics.” “If China’s communist authorities wish t

AFP - 7 April 2008 Original URL MANILA (AFP) — More than half the annual estimated 150,000 deaths linked to climate change will come from the Asia-Pacific region, officials at the World Health Organisation said Monday. Most of the fatalities will be the result of a greater incidence of diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea and malnutrition, as well as and flooding due to changing weather patterns. Shigeru Omi, WHO director for the Western Pacific region based in Manila, said "the impact of climate change will be felt more in developing countries," which have fewer resources to deal with it. Unlike other health crises, like bird flu, which can be alleviated, "it is inevitable climate change will get worse for some time," Omi said. He cited evidence that malaria was now appear

In March, civilian deaths in Iraq rose 31 percent up from February with a total of 923 Iraqi civilians killed. Of course, that will mean little to most people here, as innocent Iraqis caught in the crossfire between our troops and insurgents doesn't weigh as heavily on American consciences.So, when those who support the war claim that pulling out now will result in chaos, how exactly do they explain away nearly 1,000 dead bodies over the course of 31 days and tell me that it's a sign of stability in the region?Well, as long as the supporters of the war continue to repeat over and over again that the surge is working while the media and the public laps it up without thinking about it much like they did 5 years back with the WMDs, then this farce of a war will continue to be a waste of human

HIV/AIDS, This Real Terror: Bahama Journal Editorial - Nassau, Bahamas: While most of us sleep, HIV/AIDS continues its deadly course throughout the world. Hardest hit is Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. Thereafter, we find the Caribbean, inclusive of Haiti and our own Bahamas. The lash inflicted by this scourge currently threatens the national security interests of great states like the United States of America. As we have learned, "The CIA considers HIV/AIDS to be the greatest threat, estimating that by 2020 it will be responsible for over half of all deaths from infectious disease in the developing world…" As that agency notes, "HIV presents a threat in both the former Soviet Union and Asia, but sub-Saharan Africa is the most vulnerable region.

Washington - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is looking into the safety of Botox and the severe side effects it can cause. The anti-wrinkle drug has been linked to deaths of children. The drug uses a botulinum toxin which basically blocks nerve impulses to muscles. This allows them to relax and allows the anti-wrinkle effect to take place. The problem with the drug though is that it can spread beyond where it is injected into the body. This allows it to spread to different areas and can cause certain respiratory muscles to become paralyzed. This causes people to have a tough time swallowing food, as well as other severe side effects taking shape. The FDA has already stated that many deaths of children patients have been linked directly to Botox. The FDA had already approved the

Each year thousands of dogs suffer and die from accidental ingestion of common household products that are poisonous to dogs. Some of these products are houseplants, common foods, medications, pesticides and cleaning products. You have to dog-proof against your dog's natural instincts.Your dog is genetically wired to investigate a new area or an area that he does not frequent. This ritual revolves around your dog nosing around, smelling and quickly eating what he discovers. If your dog does this in your garage or workroom, he can sniff, drink or walk through a wide variety of toxic substances. Your dog can be a victim of chemical poisoning if licks off a toxic substance from his fur, eats poisoned vermin, inhales toxic fumes or absorbs a considerable amount of a chemical through his skin,

Diseases which 'attacks' human are infectious diseases or outbreaks such as tuberculosis, malaria or HIV while the diseases which come from human himself are like diabetes, heart diseases, cancer and stroke.However, from all type of diseases that stems or produced by human, there are several serious illnesses which are classified as 'chronic' because they have caused almost double the total death worldwide over other causes of death. Disease group which is known as 'chronic non-communicable diseases' (CNCD) have triggered concerns among scientists and physicians to make various effort and research to overcome its spread.According to World Health Organization (WHO), some diseases which are in CNCD's category are cardio vascular related illnesses, second type diabetes, chronic diseases relat

For a state that is seemingly better off on the health front, it comes as somewhat of a shocker that the maternal mortality rate (MMR) is 375 per one lakh women - the third highest in the country after Kerala and Tamil Nadu!Addressing a press conference, Dr Suresh Deshpande, organising chairperson of the Association of Maharashtra Obstetrics and Gynaecological Societies (AMOGS), said lack of trained doctors was the prime reason for nearly 60 per cent deaths in the state. He lamented that expecting mothers were dying in large numbers despite the new medical advances that had been made in the last decade.While India's MMR is 407 per one lakh women, it is just 7 per one lakh women in richer countries, Dr Deshpande said. "Attempts are being made to bring down the MMR to below 100 by 2015, but

By: Marketing BuzzWhether you swim to relax or keep fit it is recognized that swimming is an important skill to have. This article looks at how modern technology is making our swimming pools, sports and leisure centers safer places.Picture the scene, you are with friends at the local swimming baths when one of your friends slips when attempting to dive into the pool and bangs their head. Help is likely to be available in the form of a lifeguard but the fact is despite swimming pools generally being safe, regulated environments, there are still about 15 deaths by drowning in swimming pools each year.When you realize that in Great Britain each year there are about 350 million visits to public swimming pools as well as visits to pools at leisure clubs, gyms, hotel, holiday parks and at home it is safe to say most swimming pools are a safe environment. However, 15 deaths by drowning is 15 deaths too many so if anything can be done to reduce this figure whilst also providing improved health

Traffic deaths in the United States fell to their lowest total in five years in 2006, and the rate of deaths per miles traveled dropped to a record low.

That compares with the 43,510 who died in 2005, according to the agency's latest figures. Chris Davis' comments: Very good news. Let's see if we can bring down these numbers even further.

Results from a recent Internet survey of pet owners shows only 224 pet deaths due to this year’s massive pet food recall. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health officials received thousands of complaints earlier this year about pets killed by contaminated pet food, but veterinarians said on Thursday they had been able to confirm just 224 deaths. […] A survey posted on the Internet, and widely publicized by the American Veterinary Medical Association, attracted just 500 responses and of those, only 348 cases of pet sickness met the criteria for kidney failure caused by the contamination, the team at Michigan State University found. “It is easy to think that every death or every sickness is occurring because of the pet food problem,” Wilson Rumbeiha, who worked on the study, said in a telephone interview. But when strict criteria were applied, it appears that far fewer deaths could be blamed on the pet food. Read the rest from Rueters. Update (Nov 30): If you’

Check out this clip of a guy getting tasered in Utah:Dude Tazed For Not Signing Ticket - Now how does it make you feel after watching that? Angered? I am going to be honest with you. In some ways I'm not a big lobbyist for human rights. I am a person who believes in the death penalty for example. When it comes to tasers being used on uncooperative and/or violent criminals or law breakers I am all for it, for the most part. Police need to have the option of immobilizing pain in the ass offenders. Taser guns not only protect the police, but make their

Jack Daniel's much needed Anger Management In 1911, Jack Daniel, founder of the famous Tennessee whiskey distillery, died of blood poisoning due to a toe injury he received after kicking his safe in anger when he could not remember its combination code. Distracted by his wife, in the middle of World War I In 1915, Luxembourgian Tour de France winner François Faber died in a trench on the western front of World War I.

In 1927, British racing driver J.G. Parry-Thomas was decapitated by his car's drive chain when it snapped. He was attempting to break his own Land speed record. Incredibly enough, despite being killed in the attempt, he succeeded in setting a new record of 171 mph.

Study Shows No Link Between Vitamin D Level and Cancer Deaths -- Except for Colorectal CancerOct. 30, 2007 -- Cancer researchers today reported that blood levels of vitamin D -- whether high or low -- may not help prevent adults from dying of cancer over a dozen years.But colorectal cancer may be the exception, according to the scientists, who included D. Michal Freedman, PhD, MPH, of the National Cancer Institute.Vitamin D has attracted attention from researchers for its possible anticancer effects.Freedman's team studied data on more than 16,800 people aged 17 and older who participated in U.S. health studies between 1988 and 1994.In those studies, participants got a blood test to measure their blood level of vitamin D.Freedman and colleagues followed the participants through 2000. During those 12 years, 536 participants died of cancer. Participants' vitamin D levels at the study's start didn't appear to affect cancer mortality in general, regardless of age, sex, race, or other

Just a single colonoscopy could save your life, study suggestsGetting just one colonoscopy might save your life, researchers say.Using a model to predict reductions in death from colorectal cancer, epidemiologists and clinical researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering looked at the relative effect of getting just one screening colonoscopy which cleared pre-cancerous polyps from the colon versus surveillance follow-up colonoscopy.Ann G. Zauber, Ph.D., Sidney J. Winawer, M.D., MACG and colleagues presented their findings at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology.“The model demonstrated a dramatic reduction in expected colorectal cancer mortality with initial polypectomy with or without surveillance, and suggests that the initial polypectomy accounts for the major component of the mortality reduction,” explained Dr. Zauber.Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/10/colonoscopy_benefit.html ~Sandy G.

Measles is one of the most infectious viruses known. It spreads through the air when people infected with the disease cough or sneeze. Children in wealthier countries are usually vaccinated to protect against measles.An international campaign called the Measles Initiative was launched in two thousand one to vaccinate children in developing countries. Thaim was a fifty percent reduction in deaths related to measles by two thousand five.Last week, organizers of the Measles Initiative announced that the final numbers showed a sixty percent drop in deaths.In nineteen ninety-nine, the year used for comparison, there were eight hundred seventy-three thousand deaths. Six years later that number had dropped to three hundred forty-five thousand.The organizers say more than two million lives have been saved, mostly in Africa. Health officials report a seventy-five percent drop in deaths in Africa connected to measles.Measles itself is usually not a direct cause of death. Deaths are commonly the

I received an email today, and found it interesting enough to post. Apparently there are a bunch of deaths tied to the Clintons. Maybe whoever researched this is trying to infer a connection that doesn't exist. Maybe once you reach a certain level of political power, you become associated with so many people that of course there will be a few of them who die for one reason or another. The more people you know, the more dead people you will have known. But maybe there's more to it than that. You be the judge.Here it is:-- Begin Email --So you want to work for the Clintons*************************** Just a quick refresher course lest we forget what has happened to many "friends" of the Clintons1 - James McDougal - Clinton's convicted White water partner died of an apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement. He was a key witness in Ken Starr's investigation. 2 - Mary Mahoney - A former White House intern was murdered July 1997 at a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown.

The BBC recently covered a story where the relative of a resident is challenging the Coroner's decision not to hold an inquest. Maypole Nursing Home, which cared for elderly and mentally infirm patients, closed in March 2003 following an unannounced inspection, which prompted the then National Care Standards Commission to raise "serious concerns" about the care it offered.In January last year, its owners, Dr Jamalapuram Hari Gopal and his wife Dr Pratury Samrajya Lakshmi, were found guilty of a catalogue of failings. Leslie Vines, 77, of Shirley, West Midlands, died in 2002 at the Maypole Nursing Home, Birmingham. His family is challenging a decision not to hold an inquest into his death. The judgment against the doctors who ran the place is detailed in a BBC piece here. By comparsion, a similar case involving Labour Party donor Chai Patel was Lynde House. Chai Patel was reported to the General Medical Council and was found not guilty of misconduct. Two vital reports into the nursing

by Archana SaratThe US Epidemic of Asbestos deaths Asbestos, a wonder fibrous mineral, is fire resistant, chemical resistant and highly flexible. However, this wonderful substance also causes innumerable diseases like mesothelioma, asbestosis, fibrosis, asbestos warts and so on. The deaths due to asbestos are becoming an epidemic in the US. More than 10000 people are succumbing to asbestos related diseases every year. The mining, manufacture and use of asbestos create a lot of asbestos dust and asbestos fibers are released into the atmosphere. The asbestos fibers are light in weight and invisible to the naked eye. Thus, they get airborne and are easily inhaled by the people. Thus, they enter the human body through the nose or mouth. Even a single fiber is enough to cause an asbestos related disease. When this fiber comes in contact with the mesothelium lining of the body organs like lungs, abdomen and heart, it makes the mesothelium cells to act abnormally. They start to
