ABC News: Katrina: Worst Forest Slam in U.S. History: "'More than 10 times the size, for example, of what was affected by the California wildfires recently. So this is a huge event.'"

A new place to SOUND OFF about what is happening about the forest clearing around us..

The BLM has an interactive map that you are allowed to voice your opinion on how the land should be used surrounding our community. In January they will take those ideas and formulate how they are going to make law to protect the land.

Now is your chance... Get'er done!

Scientists build robotic bugs that infiltrate, influence cockroach society

Scientists build robotic bugs that infiltrate, influence cockroach society: "Tiny robots programmed to act like cockroaches were able to blend into roach society, according to researchers studying the collective behaviour of insects. Cockroaches tend to self-organize into leaderless groups, seeming to reach consensus on where to rest together."

SUE WILSON RECOUNTS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE @ THE 101 TRAFFIC LIGHT

Sue Wilson called today to warn the park about what might have been her last few moments on Earth.

Sue was on her way to work and after leaving the park came to a halt at the traffic light at 101 where she planned to make a left turn and head south to work. Then, a premonition that something was amiss when the light signaled green for her to execute her left turn on to 101. She waited and looked to the North where she saw a large semi-truck obviously not going to stop for the light. She remained at a stop as the huge truck blew through the red light and a car as well because he was following the truck to closely to see the red traffic light. The truck most likely was doing 45mph or better. Let your imagination see what would have happened.. Try to pause as the light turns green and have a look at the on coming traffic... The extra care may let you live to be a really Senior citizen.

Sue said she followed the truck to the Agate Beach turn off where she believes it was delivering lumber to that construction project that has been going on for about year...

Good advice... Hope you have your attention here and take it.

Vinegar as wonder substance - Boing Boing

Vinegar as wonder substance - Boing Boing: "Sample recommendations: Make creamy scrambled eggs: as eggs thicken when scrambling, add a tablespoon of vinegar for every two eggs. Rub vinegar on the cut end of uncooked ham to prevent mold. Add a tsp. of vinegar and sugar to correct a too-salty taste (in any recipe). Pour a dash of white vinegar on a cloth and lay it over a burn, including sunburn. Try vinegar ice cubes to clean and deodorize a garbage disposal. Pour a cup of vinegar into the dishwasher and run the empty machine through the whole cycle to get rid of soap buildup and odors."

What to Call Elsewherians and why - CNN.com: "(Mental Floss) -- While the meanings of monikers like Ethiopian, Hobokenite, and Earthling aren't hard to suss out, it's a little tougher to guess where to find a Moonraker or a Zonie. And why the heck are Oklahomans called 'Sooners,' anyway? 1. Moonraker So, how'd the residents of Wiltshire, England, end up with this fancy nickname? Legend has it that around 1787, some brandy smugglers were on the run from the Five-0, so they dumped their booze in a pond. They narrowly escaped, but were later caught fishing for their brandy. When the cops asked them what they were doing, the creative bootleggers played dumb -- pointing to the moon's reflection and claiming (in all seriousness) they were fishing for cheese. Apparently, the police bought it, and the name 'Moonraker' stuck. 2. Zonie"

BBC NEWS | Health | Paralysed man's mind is 'read': "Electrodes have been implanted in the brain of Eric Ramsay, who has been 'locked in' - conscious but paralysed - since a car crash eight years ago. These have been recording pulses in areas of the brain involved in speech. Now, New Scientist magazine reports, they are to use the signals he generates to drive speech software. Although the data is still being analysed, researchers at Boston University believe they can correctly identify the sound Mr Ramsay's brain is imagining some 80% of the time."

FEMA's fishy excuse belies reform claims- al.com

FEMA's fishy excuse belies reform claims- al.com: "WELCOME TO FEMA's fish tank, where bureaucracy is biting. From the folks who brought you the fake news conference during the California wildfires, trailers with formaldehyde and more examples of waste, fraud and abuse of your money than we can keep up with, comes a whopper of a fish story that is all too true. FEMA, it seems, would rather have paid $600,000 to replace the fish and assorted other sea creatures who died at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans because of Hurricane Katrina than reimburse the aquarium for the less-than-$100,000 cost of the fishing trips staffers took to catch all new stock."

This year’s Winter Whale Watch happens the week after Christmas, from December 26 to January 1. It’s a week when both gray whales and the people who love them are on the move, with a large helping of visitors flocking to the Newport area because it has the largest number of whale watching sites on the Oregon coast. It also has two aquarium centers packed with whale information and just under ten charter boat businesses that allow unforgettable close encounters."

Storm trips Seaside tsunami siren, residents scurry to safety | KATU.com - Portland, Oregon | Local & Regional: "SEASIDE, Ore. - Stormy weather on Monday had emergency crews busy with downed trees and power outages, but officials in Seaside had a different problem. The powerful storm somehow triggered the city's tsunami warning siren, sending residents and tourists fleeing to higher ground. The siren began wailing at about 8 a.m., just as strong winds were raking the coast. The city fire marshal made the rounds assuring people it was false alarm. "
