A group of enterprising Nigerian teenagers from Lagos have developed a generator powered by urine to counter the country's chronic shortage of reliable electricity. It is estimated that more than half of Nigeria's 160 million citizens have no access to electric power, but the four Lagos students believe the solution may be in harnessing the power of pee. They've even built in a technology to keep the smell from becoming an issue.

Ganging up on Gaga! One day after Sharon Osbourne came to daughter Kelly's defense by way of a scathing response to criticism from pop star Lady Gaga, Kelly's co-host Joan Rivers has joined the fight.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 79-year-old comedienne addresses the "Born This Way" singer's recent claims that "Fashion Police" -- the E! style series on which Rivers, Kelly, Giuliana Rancic, and George Kotsiopoulos comment on the do's and don'ts of celebrity fashion -- is mean-spirited. According to Gaga, the show is just an excuse to bully other stars.
PHOTOS: Famous celebrity feuds
"'Fashion Police' is a comedy show; anyone that comes out of an egg should figure that out," Rivers tells ET, alluding to Gaga's Grammys appearance in 2011, when the singer was carried onto the red carpet in a giant egg-shaped vessel. She goes on to say that the pop star should "lighten up" and focus on using her celebrity to draw attention to more important issues.
Gaga's comments were part of an open letter she posted to Kelly Osbourne on Thursday, Jan. 10, in response to something the "Fashion Police" standout, 28, said about the singer's fans being "the worst" when it came to bullying. ("They've said I should kill myself, that they hope I get raped," the reality star told Fabulous magazine.)
"I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path," Mother Monster wrote in her letter. "Your work on E! with the 'Fashion Police' is rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people's beauty against one another. 'Appearance' is the most used reason for bullying in the world. Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals."
PHOTOS: Kelly's hair evolution
Sharon Osbourne fought back on her daughter's behalf a short time later, calling Gaga a "bully" and a "hypocrite" for posting the letter under the guise of seeking "a kinder and braver world."
"You know it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately," Osbourne said in a note on her Facebook page. "I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?"

- The total has gone OVER in 8 of Washington's last 11 games when playing at home against NY Giants
- Washington is 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games when playing at home against NY Giants
NFL Pick – Week 13
The Giants are up to their old tricks with a 38-10 pasting of Green Bay last Sunday as one-point home favorites after posting back-to-back losses to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati both straight-up and against the spread. They come into this crucial NFC East showdown at 7-5 SU (5-5-1 ATS) overall and 3-2 SU (3-1-1 ATS) on the road. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six games.
The last few seasons, once the calendar turned the page to December, New York has seemed to be able to turn up the heat on its opponents. The Giants got an early start with their romp over the Packers and would love nothing more than to expand their two-game lead over the Redskins in the division title race. Eli Manning showed little signs of a dead arm last Sunday with 249 yards passing and three touchdowns and the return of running back Ahmad Bradshaw added a spark to New York's ground game. Look for these two to have a major impact on the outcome of this game as well.
Robert Griffin III has only played in 11 NFL games in his career, but he has already taken his place among the most popular Redskins of all time. He almost single-handedly beat both the Eagles and Cowboys the last two weeks on his way to what should be a 'Rookie of the Year' campaign. The first-year quarterback has his team 5-6 SU (6-5 ATS) on the year and in position to challenge for a playoff spot with a win on Monday night. Washington is just 2-3 SU and ATS at home this season and the total has stayed UNDER in five of its last seven games overall.
The first time these two teams met this season, RG III completed 71.4 percent of his throws for 258 yards and two touchdowns including a 30-yard scoring strike to Santana Moss with 1:32 left to go in the game. Manning immediately answered with a game-winning 77-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz, but Washington still covered in the 27-23 loss as a 6.5-point road underdog.
This should be another back-and-forth game until the end, but stick with experience over talented youth as Manning once again finds a way to pull out a victory for New York over its division rivals. New York 28 Washington 24

Alfie was dumped and left to fend for himself with a broken leg
Every dog deserves their own 'furry-tail' ending and none more so than Jingle, who found himself cold, homeless and hungry after being abandoned just before Christmas last year.
The crossbreed puppy, now named Alfie, was just four-months-old when he was dumped and left to fend for himself in freezing conditions, despite having a badly broken leg. Miraculously, he was found in time and immediately brought to Dogs Trust's rehoming centre in Newbury where he began to recover after vets operated to pin his broken leg.
After spending the festive season at Dogs Trust, Alfie was soon on the mend and in January this year, it was puppy love at first sight when he caught the eye of new owners Liz Bowman and Sandi Laugharne. Alfie has since gone from strength to strength and he is now looking forward to his first Christmas in a loving home.
Lizzy the dog hoping to get lucky finding a new home
A dog named after gold medal winning, Winter Olympian Lizzy Yarnold is hoping to find a new home, after being abandoned at a bus stop.
Staff at the Dogs Trust in Newbury are hoping Lizzy, a one-year-old Terrier, will find a brand new home.
Jenny Hopkins, Assistant Manager said, "We were shocked to hear that Lizzy had been abandoned at a bus stop, especially with all the flooding we have had.
"Luckily, this hasn't affected Lizzy's spirit and she is still a lovely little lass who loves to make friends with everyone she meets.
"As she is still a youngster, she would benefit from a home where she can continue her training and learn impeccable manners."
If you think you could give Lizzy a new home, please get in touch with Dogs Trust Newbury on 01488 658 391.
Vulnerable pup left freezing in Newbury
A four-month-old pup has been rescued in Berkshire after he was found starving and freezing.
Dogs Trust's slogan 'A dog is for life, not just for Christmas' is being put into practice as they are hoping to rehome the puppy.
He was found as a stray and brought to the charity's rehoming centre in Newbury, where is recovering after vets operated to pin his broken leg.
Jenny Hopkins, Assistant Manager at Dogs Trust Newbury, said: "We'd really like to see him in a home as soon as possible so we're appealing to anyone who thinks they can offer Jingle a home to call Dogs Trust Newbury directly."

Protecting dogs and their owners
Not just for Christmas
It's 20 years since the message 'A Dog is for Life - not just for Christmas' was coined. It seems it applies as much today as it did then.
A man recently returned his animal to the Dogs Trust saying "My dog keeps barking at butterflies" - another said "Its coat didn't match the furniture."
The trust hopes this year people will think twice before buying a pet as a present. David Johns has our report.

Community health workers: Bringing health services to the remotest areas
Dust devils are swirling through Catsanha, a village of about a dozen huts scattered across a dusty plane in Moatize district. Big industries have recently moved in to for the coal reserves, so abundant in this part of the country, and yet while natural resources removed from the ground here help keep our modern societies running, people in the village still face the grim reality of undernutrition and child deaths from easily preventable diseases.

I came across the Orange Blossom Hacienda B&B while making reservations to attend a 3 day clinic at the Horseshoe Arena in Queen Creek in April 2015. 10 minutes away! Perfect. Since I was going to be at the Arena all day, I wasn't so concerned about the details. But then my husband decided to accompany me and it was so nice. It surpassed all our expectations. The hospitality was outstanding. It was wonderfully clean absolutely everywhere. Loved the welcome dogs Buddy and George Kent and Jerry couldn't have made our stay any nicer. My husband hung out there all day while I was gone, napped, watched Direct TV, petted the dogs. He said he has never come home from a vacation SO RELAXED as he did from the Orange Blossom. Kent easily switched rooms to a queen bed when my husband decided to accompany me, Since I had to leave for the Arena by 7:30am, I planned to eat at the arena. Much to my surprise Kent said they'd be happy to make me a breakfast burrito to go. I am not a foodie, so when I say the breakfast burritos were delicious, they were. They even got up early one morning so I could have Grandma Fetters' Pecan French toast. That was just one example of how they took care of us during our 4 day stay. The french toast was amazing. The rooms already had nightlights, flashlights, bottled water, tolletries, alarm clocks, charging station for my cell phone and computer, fresh towels and a ceiling fan (AC too, although it wasn't needed in April) We were awakened to daylight, NO noise even with the window open all night. There is a beautiful pool for the guests and free wi-fi., Just a wonderful place to stay. It was as comfortable as our home. Thank you Kent and Jerry for your hospitality!

Kent and Jerry, and their friendly, wellbehaved dogs Buddy and George, were wonderfully warm and welcoming. From the clean, cozy room with views of the orange grove and hills to the lovely indoor and outdoor spaces, we could not have been more comfortable. The delicious and hearty breakfast was accompanied by juice freshly squeezed from their own oranges, Yum!!

Spent the first night of a week's vacation in Arizona at Orange Blossom Hacienda. A beautiful location in an orange grove, charming hosts and an excellent breakfast. We felt right at home. Our next visit will be more than one night!

This is a fantastic place. The owners are friendly, engaging and very accommodating. They have two wonderful dogs that greet you the way a good host should! The rooms are cozy and beds are comfortable. They serve orange juice from their orchard which is the best juice I have ever had! I highly recommend staying here for either long or a short term stay.

As former Sunkist orange growers, we were delighted to find Kent & Jerry's place...right in the middle of an orange grove. Absolute quite and interesting conversation (or none if you so desire; they won't be offended if you don't want conversation). Dogs are the friendliest ever (both rescued, one an amputee which made a lot of points in my book). Don't think I've ever tasted sweeter OJ, and we use to grow our own, which we thought was pretty darn good. Something about heat and navel oranges that fit like a glove! Breakfast is wonderful and beautiful to look at!

Buying a home here in San Tan Valley, my wife and I thought it would be nice to stay somewhere other than a hotel during our closing days of buying our new home. Kent and Jerry were so welcoming to us that it really made the final days of all the inspections, signings of a new home and a feel of the area, that can not be found anywhere. Their dog, Buddy, was the best dog I have ever encountered in such a setting of this lovely home. With all the orange trees and yes can't wait to get some of them when they come into season. There conversation was so helpful and knowledgeable. During our free time, they were able to give us recommendations of local stores for home accessories too. All in all, this was the perfect stay for my wife and I. We were able to keep everything in perspective and we stayed focused on what were doing. Hope to become friends with during our life here in San Tan Valley. Bob P.

Keep us posted as to your move in date! We want to hear from you.

Our family of five stayed at the Orange Blossom Hacienda for three nights while attending a wedding nearby at Encanterra Estates. We had a great time. Our hosts Jerry and Kent took really good care of us. And Buddy their dog is a pretty good host too. The pool, nestled in the orange grove is beautiful for afternoon swimming. My wife and I had an early flight back home, and Jerry made us some very nice burritos to bring with us in lieu of our breakfast. They were very tasty. We shared one on the way to the airport and had the second one for lunch during our flight. Our adult children would have had another lovely breakfast on sight since their flights were later in the day. Overall this is a great place to stay. Make sure to have a look at Kents' vintage Chevrolets in the garage if you have a chance as well.

Be patient as power relief needs time: Nawaz

After years of decline, deaths caused by heroin overdoses are on the rise in Maryland, according to data released Friday by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
In the first seven months of 2012, 205 people died due to heroin overdose. That is up 41 percent from the same period in 2011, when 145 people died.
The largest jump was seen in Central Maryland, which includes Baltimore, from 99 in 2011 to 145 in 2012.
"The rise in overdoses from heroin is a new and concerning trend," said Dr. Joshua M. Sharfstein, secretary of the health department.
For the same seven-month period, health officials reported a reduction in the number of fatal overdoses from prescription opioids, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone, to 177 this year from 208 in 2011.
Health officials said they believe the two trends are related, as people addicted to prescription drugs turn to heroin for a relatively cheap and accessible alternative.
Heroin use declined in the state from 2007 to 2011, as prescription drug abuse rose.
The number of admissions to public substance-abuse treatment services for prescription opioid abuse more than doubled from 2008 to 2011.
Officials say that heightened awareness of prescription drug addiction in the medical community and general public, as well as a reduction in the supply of pharmaceuticals available for abuse, may have succeeded in making such prescription drugs less available.
To combat the increase in heroin use, the health department plans to continue to work with health care providers to identify potential heroin users and get them into treatment.
For all drugs, overdose deaths were up 6 percent, from 365 in 2011 to 385 in 2012.
In addition, the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, established by law in 2011, is under development. The department is in the procurement process with information technology companies to build the infrastructure needed to track individuals' prescription information. Physicians and pharmacists will have access to the information to monitor whether patients could be abusing prescription drugs.

I can't believe there is no thread about this game! It's so awesome. If any game has great art direction it's this one. The artwork and the characters have so much personality. The music is total class. Who's decision was it to go into this direction, it's absolutely brilliant. Who's the artist behind the concepts?

New Hampshire Tag-O-Rama
Okay let's kick his thang off....mmkay
Rules are easy...
Find the tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here. Give a few hints so the next person can figure out where the tag is located.Make the clues clear and easiiy understood.
Try to place the tags in interesting locations, maybe a bit of history that can be found down some nice twisties.
Tag must be: a) findable & b) not placed on a dirt road.
Maintained gravel is OK, but make sure to let folks know that gravel is required to get to your tag. We don't want to exclude those who don't like to get dirty.
The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.
One tag at a time.
File photos are NOT permitted.
You gotta ride to play this game.
Your bike has to be in the TAG picture.
*New tags must be posted within 36hrs of claiming the existing tag. In the event that the new tag is not posted within 36 hrs, the "claimed" tag again becomes the valid tag in play.
Remember, you gotta be quick. Don't make the clues difficult, because it will come back and bite you in the arse. Also, bring your "A" game cause someone will have a tag and post another while you're thinking about eating breakfast.
If you wanna play, you gotta ride.
(*Executive edit)
Its not who dies with the most toys..
Its who wears out the most toys
Just dip me in beer and toss me in the drunk chicks.
if you havent grown up by age 50 you dont have to

Can Clark Durant Replicate Rick Snyder's Success in Michigan?
12:00 AM, Apr 5, 2012 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
Durant makes a solid case that as an outsider and education reformer, he could prove to be a stronger challenger than Hoekstra. But Michigan will be an uphill battle no matter who the Republican nominee is. And Durant has his own vulnerabilities. Although his opposition to the Wall Street bailout may be an asset, Democrats will surely attack him for opposing the auto bailout, which both Hoekstra and Stabenow supported. "I think the auto bailout was a mistake," says Durant, "because it violated the law. It violated the rights of bondholders. It didn't take care of all the labor people who were affected by this reorganization."
"It is hard to know who might be the better general election candidate," according to the Cook Political Report's Jennifer Duffy. "While Hoekstra has the experience and has been able to raise the money, he also has an 18-year voting record in the House, an institution that voters hold in pretty low regard."
"While Clark can run as an outsider, he is a newcomer to politics and has not yet proven that he has put together a top flight Senate campaign," Duffy continued. "I don't think one is more competitive than the other; they just bring different strengths and weaknesses to the campaign."
In the months leading up to the August 7 primary, Michigan voters may very well decide for themselves that an outsider Tea Party candidate like Durant has a better shot than Hoekstra of beating Debbie Stabenow.

Looking forward to seeing what grows from the seeds of life that are planted this spring!
Thank you team members, donors, family, and friends for sending us out
into the world to do good works – and congratulations, Brooke, on
accomplishing the first leg of your around the world adventure!
Life Support Intern and Administrative Apprentice, Brooke Griffin, is getting ready to embark on a life journey!
First stop is Tecate, Mexico, to build homes for families. Then she will embark on a seven month around the world trip from Mexico, to New Zealand, to Southeast Asia, to Europe, and then back home again. She is setting out on this journey to explore the way that people find happiness and life's purpose while living and surviving in their every day lives. She will be writing, recording, and photographing her experiences to share as she goes along with hopes of writing a book about her experiences upon her return.
Brooke's job at Life Support has been to care for the COMFY Garden, keep our offices in order, and work with our social enterprise clients doing bookkeeping, office administration, office organization, and personal and professional support. We at Life Support are so happy to have Brooke as a team member to help make good things happen in the world!
If you would like to read more about Brooke and donate to her fund, click here!
Thank you Amor, volunteer house building crews, family and friends,
and LifeSupportM.org donors!
Thank you to the Roca Family for the donations and supplies, and thank you Marlene for the $$! Jeff is drove to Merced county to bring everything to Alex Craig and his fellow firefighters to give to the families whose homes burned down. We are all grateful to everyone!!!

LifeSupportM.org is collecting donations to help two families in Merced County who have suffered severe losses in recent house fires. There are babies in need of diapers and clothing. There are mothers and fathers in need of household supplies and furniture. Anything you can spare in the way of funds and supplies would be greatly appreciated.
On December 2nd, in Merced County there were two house fires that had sad outcomes. Fire one was at a home of a family of five. The mom and one of the kids made it out and the dad went back into the home to try to save the other two kids. Unfortunately the dad and the two kids died in the fire leaving the mom and a 13 month old without a home or a family and they are in the burn center. Fire number two was at a home that was a complete loss. The family did get out ok but they did lose everything. If that is not bad enough they are expecting their first child, a girl, TODAY. These families need everything from clothes to furniture and more. Thank you in advance for your help.
LifeSupportM.org Team Members, Jeff, Leona, and Bailey were in Tijuana, Mexico, with a hard-working crew and the staff at Amor.org building a 22′x22′ home for the Bazurto-Martinez family.
It was a wonderful mission full of adventures, camaraderie, play, and a stow-a-way kitten (who eventually found a home with the local goat herder) – thank you everyone for your hands on work, your financial contributions, orphanage donations, and your loving support!

The Autobytel website is a great place to find Chevrolet Volt reviews on the most recent model years that were sold in America. You may be surprised to learn that there are multiple forms of Chevrolet Volt reviews. View a thorough Chevrolet Volt review write-up by a top automotive reviewer. And there are multiple professional reviews from a couple of different contributors in the Autobytel database. Another type of car review comes from the car owner themselves. This area is for those who have had one of these vehicles and want to give their feelings about owning one. There is a place for general comments on the auto and a place to rate the automobile on a scale of 1-5. Reading up on these types of Chevrolet Volt reviews will no doubt provide some great feedback.
In addition to the Chevrolet Volt review; there is a ton of other great information located at Autobytel.com. But how do you access this information? Or what if you are unsure as to which vehicle you should purchase? The fastest way to get to the reviews webpage is by clicking the car reviews button from anywhere on the website. You can sort through the vehicles in a few different ways. One way is by vehicle model type. That is, choose an SUV or sports car for example. Or pick the name of the car company. If you are unsure as what vehicle to read about; just go ahead and start delving into any automobile on the site. When you finally land on a certain model and you want to see the reviews; simply pick Reviews from the list of pages on the left.
In addition to all the wonderful Chevrolet Volt reviews there are some more great features. One thing to take notice of at the model level are the MSRP and Invoice prices. The Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price is really just the suggested price you can count on. The invoice price is the amount in which the dealer acquired the vehicle for. This information is unique to the Autobytel website and you will not find this data in a regular Chevrolet Volt review. Evaluate multiple quotes based in relation to the MSRP price listed on the Autobytel website. Find massive amounts of knowledge on practically every vehicle on sale in the U.S. Discover facts regarding: horsepower, mileage, and weight. View the standard features and available options.
