            <title>The Purge has started in Louisiana, or maybe not..</title>

We have received numerous complaints with the belief that our agency was involved in this process. We were not involved in the use of the ‘Purge Siren’ and will not utilize any type of siren for this purpose,” Acadia Parish sheriff K.P. Gibson said in a statement to the news station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[YOUTUBE]bLizTxF7rDs[/YOUTUBE]</description>

            <title>New generation of Polio disease?</title>

            <description>Since someone post the last of the Polio survivor video yesterday, I saw this news happening in the US now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paralyzing polio-like illness mainly affecting children confirmed in 22 states, CDC says&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federal health officials took the unusual step on Tuesday of warning the public about an increase in a mysterious and rare condition that mostly affects children and can cause paralysis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far this year, 127 confirmed or suspected cases of acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM, have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — a significant increase over 2017 and a worrying perpetuation of a disease for which there is little understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of the cases announced Tuesday, 62 have been confirmed in 22 states, according to Nancy Messonnier, a top official at the CDC. More than 90 percent of the confirmed cases have been in children 18 and younger, with the average age being 4 years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The surge has baffled health officials, who on Tuesday announced a change in the way the agency is counting cases. They also wanted to raise awareness about the condition so parents can seek medical care if their child develops symptoms, and so physicians can quickly relay reports of the potential illness to the CDC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We understand that people, particularly parents, are concerned about AFM,” said Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Despite extensive laboratory and other testing, CDC has not been able to find the cause for the majority of the cases. “There is a lot we don’t know about AFM, and I am frustrated that despite all of our efforts, we haven’t been able to identify the cause of this mystery illness.&amp;quot;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more in the link &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2018/10/16/paralyzing-polio-like-illness-mainly-affecting-children-confirmed-states-cdc-says/?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.7d8079795cf1' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;sos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

He was 72.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawson died Jan. 10 at his home in San Luis Obispo of respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, his wife, Susan Lawson said Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawson was an actor with bit parts on such TV shows as &amp;quot;Baretta&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;The Streets of San Francisco&amp;quot; when he was hired to appear in print Marlboro ads from 1978 to 1981. His other credits include &amp;quot;Charlie&amp;#39;s Angels,&amp;quot; &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Dynasty&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Baywatch.&amp;quot; His wife said injuries sustained on the set of a Western film ended his career in 1997.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A smoker since age 14, Lawson later appeared in an anti-smoking commercial that parodied the Marlboro man and an &amp;quot;Entertainment Tonight&amp;quot; segment to discuss the negative effects of smoking. Susan said her husband was proud of the interview, even though he was smoking at the time and continued the habit until he was diagnosed with COPD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;He knew the cigarettes had a hold on him,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;He knew, yet he still couldn&amp;#39;t stop.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few actors and models who pitched Marlboro brand cigarettes have died of smoking-related diseases. They include David Millar, who died of emphysema in 1987, and David McLean, who died of lung cancer in 1995.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawson was also survived by six children, 18 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something to think about for those smokers out there...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://news.yahoo.com/ex-marlboro-man-dies-smoking-related-disease-034350253.html' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;SOS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Death Star is a serious business</title>

            <description>&lt;img src='http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/death-star-plans.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Death Star is undoubtedly a worthwhile undertaking&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Sure, in the Star Wars films it’s generally depicted as an offensive weapon but it could have terrific value as a defensive platform, too. The government recently responded to requests from the general public that it look into constructing the massive, moon-sized space station, shutting down the idea because of a short-sighted “we don’t blow up planets” political stance and an unwillingness to dip into the treasury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, a new Kickstarter project wants to pick up those plans, using an open source design effort and crowdfunding to help make it happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project has a £20,000,000 (over &amp;#036;30,000,000 U.S.) funding goal, which would be used to create “more detailed plans” than the initial design the team currently has (pictured below) and improve on the original from the Star Wars movies with some unique defensive measures to keep out pesky X-Wings. If the project reaches its stretch goal of £543,000,000,000,000,00 (or &amp;#036;850,000,000,000,000,000), then the plans will actually be put to use building a full-scale production Death Star.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/05/open-source-death-star-hits-kickstarter-after-government-foolishly-refuses-to-build-one/' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;Darth Vader SOS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

Yes.

Working from a frame built before the RB8 was revealed, she finished the car based on photos and videos from the car&amp;#39;s official introduction earlier this month. In addition to its detailed graphics and faithful reproduction of the aerodynamic bits, the car can fold up into thirds when not being used to speed Yoshi around on the Wii.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/mom-builds-4-old-spot-replica-red-bull-175055702.html' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;SOS Kereta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>
