"Lucky" Denver Puppy Rescued after Being Trapped between Walls (Video Link)

Denver fight fighting department was involved Saturday (Nov. 05) in a very rare kind of rescue operation.


2-day Old Lucky Denver Puppy Rescued
As per report in Huffington Post; a fire fighter crept into a narrow space, just 12-inch wide, to save a puppy of just 2-day old. Chihuahua mix puppy was slipped through floorboards, the owner Armando Velarde told media.

The puppy's mother and three siblings keep on heard as the little puppy moaning in suffering and the committed firefighter keep on advancing until he successfully reclaimed the lost puppy.

Velarde told that he was really luck to get back the puppy live and unhurt. After this lucky escape the puppy is named as “Lucky” and rightly so, I must add.

Co-founder of Apple computer Steve Jobs lost a prolonged battle against a uncommon type of pancreatic cancer. The man who brought the world the Macintosh, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad has died at the age of 56.



Steve Jobs' Biological Father Syrian-born Abdulfattah John Jandali
The 80-year-old Abdulfattah John Jandali, the biological father of Steve Jobs, said Wednesday that he knew of his separated son is dead; but he was not ready for any comments and interview.

Reno-based Abdulfattah Jandali, a vice president at Boomtown Hotel Casino and a former professor at the University of Nevada, regrets his interview that was given to London tabloid The Sun in which he wished to meet Jobs, who was given up for adoption as a baby.

Steve Jobs was born in February 1955 in San Francisco to Syrian-born student Jandali and graduate student Joanne Schieble, The Sun reported. But Jobs was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs as baby because Jandali and Schieble were young and unmarried.

Jobs did not react to Jandali’s interview published in The Sun.

Jandali told the Reno Gazette-Journal, last month, that the interview with The Sun was “a mistake.” He further told that he would not openly talk about his son again.





Watch Video: Anonymous Threat to Erase NYSE from Internet on Oct. 10 in Support of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Protesters



NEW YORK – Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement getting tremendous open as well as hidden or backhand support from those who make up 99% and being exploited by just 1%.



Hackers Group 'Anonymous' Threat to Erase NYSE from Internet on Oct. 10
According to a latest video posted on Youtube (shared below here); the hackers group, called Anonymous, has threaten to erase New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) from the internet on October 10 in support of the OWS protesters fighting against exploitation by Wall Street. 

Few key excerpts from Group’s Youtube message are given here:

Quote

“This is why we choose to declare our war against the New York Stock Exchange. We can no longer stay silent as the population is being exploited and forced to make sacrifices in the name of profit.

We will show the world that we are true to our word. On October 10th, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On October 10th, expect a day that will never, ever, be forgotten.” 

Unquote

The Anonymous are kind of hacker-activists and have been allegedly involved in attacks on corporate and government websites in the past like MasterCard Inc. (MA) and Visa Inc. (V).

Reportedly, members of the group use specialized software to launch the attacks, which can slow or crash the site for a short period of time.

In response to this threat message when NYSE administration was asked to comment; a spokesperson for NYSE Euronext (NYX) Richard Adamonis, which operates the exchange, said the company doesn’t comment on rumors or security matters.

What Actually Saved Michael Cohen ..?? -- British man attacked by wild shark in Cape Town, South Africa



CAPE TOWN, South Africa - The British man, attacked by a shark at Cape Town beach, was survived by Good Samaritans who transformed a wetsuit into a tourniquet to stop his bleeding, his surgeon said Thursday.



Brit Michael Cohen Dragged Out to Shore by Douglas ­Drysdale and Hugh Till
Shocked witnesses told how the 9-foot wild white shark was seemed to attack again but got interrupted when a seal swam between it and the Cohen.

The seal then circled Michael and rescuers Douglas ­Drysdale, 61, and Hugh Till, 66, as they dragged him to the shore with the deadly shark floating just feet away.

The 43-year-old Cohen, living in Cape Town, lost his right leg above the knee and his left leg below the knee when a great white shark attacked him on Wednesday, local authorities said.

"The injury to the right leg had been controlled at the scene with a tourniquet," said Andrew Nicol, the trauma surgeon who operated on Cohen.

"That tourniquet has consisted of a wetsuit that had been applied around the thigh and wrapped with two belts very, very tightly," he told a news conference.

"It's just too early to predict at the moment about the outcome but I think a promising sign is the fact that he is stabilizing," he said.

"We've basically replaced his blood volume twice over already."

The beach was closed after sharks had been spotted earlier in the day but Cohen ignored warning flags when he went into the water at Fish Hoek beach, the city of Cape Town said in a statement.

He was rescued by two passersby who dragged him from the water and by one of the city's Shark Spotters, who used his belt to fasten the tourniquet, said National Sea Rescue Institute spokesman Craig Lambinon.

Beaches along Cape Town's False Bay remained closed on Thursday after two sharks were spotted in the morning.

Crocodile, Named Snappy, Turns Itself Bright Orange at 'Roaming Reptiles' in Australia (Photos)

MELBOURNE, Australia - If you haven’t get a chance to see a crocodile in bright orange colour then don’t miss the opportunity as a 2.5-meter long reptile in an Australian wildlife park has turned itself orange by mistake.



Crocodile, Named Snappy, Turns Itself Bright Orange at 'Roaming Reptiles' in Australia
The crocodile, named Snappy, entertaining the visitors at Roaming Reptiles in the State of Victoria more than normal due to its unusual orange colour. The crocodile reportedly turned orange after apparently biting off more than he could chew out of the filter in its water tank.

Experts believe vegetation and algae which would normally have stayed out of his water thanks to the filter managed to get in, which affected his colour.

Tracey Sandstrom, manager of Roaming Reptiles, said: "I think it caused the pH levels in his water to soar which has led to the change in colour."

Nevertheless, the new orange look has not had any health problems for Snappy and it is expected to return to his normal green colour in few days.
