Three cats were exterminated by a company called “Critter Control” at WRLH FOX-35’s studios on Westmoreland Street. Critter Control was contracted by the station to eliminate the feral cats.
“The animals are humanely trapped, seen by a vet,” said Save Our Shelters' Peggy Lynch. “They are vaccinated for for rabies and then they are sterilized and returned to the only home that they know under the care of a…

Two world records were set yesterday in the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha, Nebraska. Michael Phelps broke his own world record in the men’s 400-meter individual medley with a time of 4:05.25, and Katie Hoff qualified for her second Olympics with her own world record in the womens 400-meter individual medley with a time of 4:31.12.

The Assembly Agriculture Committee this week scuttled SB 200, by Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter. The bill would have required slaughterhouses to install video cameras to track how plants handle livestock. Florez vowed to introduce the bill again next year, but California should not have to wait for this common-sense safeguard.
A camera caught abuse that inspectors missed. The video, and succeeding videos of abuses at other locations, demonstrated that the current inspection system has large gaps. Inspectors cannot be everywhere at once, but cameras can maintain a…

Coiled up in a tornado is as much energy as an entire power plant. So a Canadian engineer has a plan to spin up his own twister and extract energy from its tethered tail.”The source of the energy here is the natural movement of warm and cold air currents.” These so-called convective air currents are only useful if they can be channeled in some way.
The AVE structure is a 200-meter-wide arena with 100-meter-high walls. Warm humid air enters at the sides, directed to flow in a circular fashion. As the air whirls around at speeds up to 200 mph, a vacuum forms in the center,…

An Asteroid Deflection Research Center (ADRC) has been established on the Iowa State campus to bring researchers from around the world to develop asteroid deflection technologies.
Despite the lack of an immediate threat from an asteroid strike, scientific evidence suggests the importance of researching preventive measures. Sixty-five million years ago, a six-mile-wide asteroid struck near the Yucatan Peninsula…
Long dismissed as a product of overactive imaginations or a sign of mental illness, synesthesia has grudgingly come to be accepted by scientists in recent years as an actual phenomenon with a real neurological basis. Some researchers now believe it may yield valuable clues to how the brain is organized and how perception works.
Smilek and colleagues have identified two groups of synesthetes among those who associate letters and numbers with colors, he explained in a telephone interview. For individuals in one group, which Smilek calls “projector” synesthetes,…
SEATTLE (AP) ? A man who was denied a liver transplant because he used marijuana with medical approval to ease the symptoms of hepatitis C has died.
At some, people who use “illicit substances” — including medical marijuana, even in the dozen states that allow it — are automatically rejected. At others, patients are given a chance to reapply if they stay clean…
