Nap...*



Eight Montana grizzly bears have been outfitted with GPS trackers. The study is aimed at bolstering the theory that grizzlies, which can be as stealthy as they are ferocious, stalk hunters from as close as the length of a football field, in order to steal their prey. Already, data has shown at least one grizzly following oblivious elk hunters almost from the moment they left the parking lot, according to the Billings Gazette.

In the most clearly detailed example, a group of hunters turned on their GPS devices moments after leaving a parking area at around 6 a.m. When scientists analyzed their movements later and contrasted them with those of a nearby grizzly, it became clear the bear was tailing them.

The bruin stayed downwind of the hunters, at one point coming within 100 yards of them as they moved around a lake. At around noon, the bear bedded down for a nap, but easily picked up the hunters’ trail again when it awoke, according to the report.

Hunting, you could be the one.       Just a thought.

Subway and the CBC are continuing their game of chicken, and neither side looks to be swerving. The latest in the fast-food drama: The restaurant chain says it will file a lawsuit against the broadcaster for a story that claims Subway's chicken isn't 100% chicken, but halfway made out of soy, the Toronto Star reports.

The CBC hasn't backed down from its accusation after it says it had DNA analysis completed on Subway's meat, even though Subway said it conducted its own tests and found soy to make up less than 1% of its chicken samples.

Calling the CBC's report "defamatory" and "absolutely false," the complaint will seek $210 million in damages."

Subway has since requested a retraction and apology, and it even took out a full-page ad in the Globe and Mail that read: "Saying our chicken is only 50% chicken is 100% wrong." 

The chicken is not chicken, the foot long is not a foot long. I can't believe it.

Police have arrested four people suspected of planning an “imminent” terror attack in central Paris, according to French media reports. Two of the suspects were French brothers of Tunisian origin.

The arrests took place this morning in the 18th arrondissement the location of an attack on a police station in early January, and the 93rd – the department of Saint-Denis, where a long siege ended in the death of the Paris attacks “mastermind” last year.

The French capital remains on high alert after jihadists massacred 130 people in November 2015, in a number of suicide bombings and mass shooting at cafes, restaurants and the Bataclan concert hall near Place de la République.

A house search was conducted in Forest, in Belgium,"  Three of six police officers were shot at as they tried to enter the apartment, and were slightly injured.

An officer neutralized one of the suspects who was about to shoot. His body was later found inside the apartment next to a Kalashnikov rifle, 11 battery chargers,  an Algerian national.

Let them in?  Just a thought.     [posted 3/16/2016]

This is not the new healthcare plans. This is the same thing Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump plans. Big Pharma, Healthcare Insurances, Middle man, and others are robbing the American People, the Economy, and the Tax payer. Just a thought.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte and lawmaker Geert Wilders cast Wednesday's Dutch parliamentary elections as a litmus test for populism in Europe, ahead of crucial votes in France and Germany.
Coming after last's year British vote to leave the European Union and the election of U.S. President Donald Trump  two stunning successes for populists.

"This is a chance for a big democracy like the Netherlands to make a point to stop this toppling over of the domino stones. Rutte said after his vote.

Wilders insisted that whatever the result of Wednesday's election, the kind of populist politics he and others in Europe represent will be here to stay.  "The genie will not go back into the bottle. People feel misrepresented," he said, predicting this would show in elections later this year in France and Germany too.

Wilders' one-page election manifesto includes pledges to close borders to immigrants, safety and security of the citizens, as well as taking the Netherlands out of the European Union.

The state of Nevada is the only jurisdiction in the United States where prostitution is permitted. Strictly regulated brothels operate legally in isolated rural areas, away from the majority of Nevada's population

License fees for brothels range from an annual $100,000 in Storey County to an annual $200,000 in Lander County. Licensed prostitutes must be at least 21 years old, except in Storey County and Lyon County (where the minimum age is 18).

Nevada law requires that registered brothel prostitutes be tested weekly for gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis, and monthly for HIV and syphilis;[23] furthermore, condoms are mandatory for all oral sex and sexual intercourse. Brothel owners may be held liable if customers become infected with HIV after a prostitute has tested positive for the virus.[24] Women work a legally mandated minimum of nine days for each work period.[25]

Despite there being a legal option, the vast majority of prostitution in Nevada takes place illegally in Reno and Las Vegas. About 66 times more money is spent by customers on illegal prostitution in Nevada than in the regulated brothels. Coming soon right after Marijuana.
