Sneaky Sea Lion

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/sea-lion-swipes-fish-right-off-the-dock-172909355.html

A rouge sea lion known by the name Pancho made yet another appearance in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  While filming an episode for a new TV show called "Chef on the Water," Yvan Mucharrz is robbed of his catch.  Mike Ritz, his fisher-friend cannot get enough of it.  Pancho is supposedly blind in one eye, making it difficult for him to catch his own food. Therefore, he takes what the fisherman catch, from them! But don't worry, Mucharrz wasn't mad; the next thing on his list to catch is Pancho.

Elephant Massacre

Over 300 were poisoned by poachers who put cyanide in their drinking water.  Elephants are not the only animals who have been killed and affected by this.  Animals would eat the elephants body and then they would become contaminated and die.  The tusks of the elephants were ripped out by the poachers once they were dead.  The poachers knew that the elephants would be attracted to the salt because they need salt to survive.  14 people have been arrested so far.  9 alleged poachers were among them, and a South African businessman was thought to be the person behind the poisonings.

Craze, a pre-workout powder claims to contain only natural ingredients, but that is not so! The US and South Korea are doing tests on it to prove that it secretly contains a chemical that is somewhat like methamphetamine.  "The U.S. researchers also said they found the same methamphetamine-like chemical in another supplement, Detonate, which is sold as an all-natural weight loss pill by another company: Gaspari Nutrition."  Craze has not been sold at Walmart.com since this has all come up, but it is still being sold at different places.  Since the government is shut down, U.S. Food and Drug Administration were not able to be reached for comments. " A month after USA TODAY published its report about Cahill and Craze, a team of South Korean scientists published an article in a journal of the Japanese Association of Forensic Toxicology saying they had found a methamphetamine-like compound in samples of Candy Grape flavor and Berry Lemonade flavor Craze."  The effects on the body are unknown right now, because Craze has never been tested for that specifically.  

Predicting Suicides in Army

Suicide in the Army is becoming more common, and now there's a plan to prevent, and recognize which troops are suicidal.  In 2012, the Army recorded about six suicides per week.  The Army is working towards predicting which soldiers are going to kill themselves, and then stopping them before it's too late.  There are mixed emotions about the idea, but for the most part people are all for it.  "'In the work world that I know, there's nothing with this kind of depth," says Helen Darling, president and CEO of the National Business Group on Health, a non-profit group that helps Fortune 100 companies improve health care and productivity."
