Increase Seen In Urine Bottles On I-84
Police say there's been an alarming rise in urine-filled plastic containers found along a three-mile stretch of Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon.
A litter crew for the Oregon Department of Transportation picked up an estimated 200-300 urine filled plastic bottles, along the highway, about half of which were found in a short stretch dubbed "Three Mile Hill."
"This area is prone to this problem because commercial trucks are driving at a slow speed and drivers can urinate into bottles and toss them out the window."
Reese said commercial truck drivers told him the price of fuel may be causing drivers to travel slower than normal to save fuel while at the same time passing rest areas or truck stops.
The problem, called improperly disposing of human waste, is a misdemeanor and offenders may be arrested, taken to jail and fined up to $250, police said.
Police said all the drivers they talked to unanimously said throwing bottles of urine out of moving vehicle windows is disgusting and not professional. Police say there's been an alarming rise in urine-filled plastic containers found along a three-mile stretch of Interstate 84 in ... more -
5 Ways Teens Might Cheat on Drug Tests—and How to Catch Them
Google "beat drug test," and the search engine spits out page upon page of ploys and products that can make incriminating urine seem drug free. All it takes is a computer-savvy teen to access them. The ease of cheating, in fact, is one of at least seven reasons parents shouldn't try to test their kids for drug use. Instead, experts say, they should seek out a professional assessment.
"Cheating remains the Achilles' heal of urine drug testing in all settings," says Robert DuPont, president of the Institute for Behavior and Health Inc. and former director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
1. Tampering. A sprinkle of salt or a splash of bleach, vinegar, detergent, or drain cleaner is all that's needed to muck up a urine specimen.
2. Water-loading. Gulping fluids before providing urine, a long-standing tactic, is still the most common way that teens try to beat tests, says Sharon Levy, a pediatrician and director of the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program at Children's Hospital Boston.
3. Switching drugs. Perhaps most alarming, says Levy, is that teens bent on defeating drug tests will sometimes switch their drug of choice to an undetectable (or harder to detect) substance that's considerably more hazardous.
4. Popping vitamins. Perhaps it's because niacin (aka vitamin B3) is known to aid metabolism, or perhaps it's because Scientology are said to take it in excess to flush their bodies of toxins.
5. Swapping urine samples. Whether they use a friend's clean urine, synthetic pee, or even freeze-dried urine purchased online, some teens try to pass off foreign samples as their own, says Levy.

Nebraska Family Wins $40,000 Over Urine-Tainted Food
OMAHA, Neb. — A Sidney police officer and his family have won $40,000 from a restaurant that had served them food tainted by an employee's spit and urine.
In the lawsuit filed last year in Cheyenne County District Court, officer Keith Andrew and his wife said a Taco Bell employee urinated and spit in food served to them and their children in October 2005.
The lawsuit named North Platte-based Mid Plains Food and Lodging, owner of the KFC/Taco Bell.
A KFC spokesman, Rick Maynard, said KFC is committed to the highest levels of food safety.
"Our franchisee does not agree with the court's verdict, and they are looking at their legal options," Maynard said Monday.
The jury verdict was announced Friday.
In the lawsuit, the couple said their two sons, 4 and 7 at the time, took sick after they ate the food. The 4-year-old came "violently ill," the lawsuit said, with gastroenteritis and dehydration. The lawsuit said he vomited for hours and was forced to spend time in a hospital.
Other workers saw what Diedrich did, the lawsuit said, and reported it to management.
But the managers didn't inform the family, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also suggested the family was the victim of a scheme that targeted police officers.
"Employees maintained 'special servings' of food reserved for ... officers," the lawsuit said. "The 'special servings' had been urinated in or spit in by KFC/Taco Bell employees. In fact, defendant's employees maintained a particular serving pan for use in creating 'special servings' of food plus employee urine."
An attorney for the Andrew family, Andy Snyder of Scottsbluff, said the employee who fouled the family's food admitted tainting the food of another officer as well.
Snyder said the verdict did not specify exactly how the jury believed the restaurant was negligent, but managers didn't discipline the worker involved, Casey Diedrich.
Diedrich could not be reached to comment Monday. There was no listing under his name in Nebraska.
In March 2007, Diedrich pleaded guilty to violating the Nebraska Pure Food Act and was fined $100, according to Cheyenne County Court records. The prosecution was for the same incident described in the lawsuit.
In June 2007, a company spokesman said Diedrich was eventually fired for missing work but not for any of the incidents the lawsuit cited.
Snyder said Monday that the restaurant did a poor job of vetting its staff.
"I'd advise them to get a better class of employees," Snyder said. OMAHA, Neb. — A Sidney police officer and his family have won $40,000 from a restaurant that had served them food tainted by an emplo... more -

Move over Rockband/GH......It's time for Super Pii Pii Brothers!
First the japanese gave us the Walkman, electronic pets and badly dyed and orange hair on asians... You would think that they could not top these exports but lo and behold....Super Pii Pii Brothers!
Women can now experience what its like to be a man and why men seem to always drip on toilet seats. I forsee greater understanding from the fairer sex coming from this game...thank you Japan.
For a more accurate representation, women should play on a full bladder.
"The play mechanics are simple. Prepare yourself by strapping on the included belt harness and jacking in your Wiimote. A series of toilets are presented on screen and the challenge is to tilt your body to control a never-ending stream of pee. Get as much pee in the toilets as you can while spilling as little on the floor as possible. Sounds easy eh? Well the toilets open and close whack-a-mole style and occasionally the stray cat or other cute critter pops up. Spray a cat for extra points. Get too much pee on the ground and your game is over. With realistic fluid dynamics for the pee and over 100 different bathrooms from bars and palaces to automatic Japanese style toilets you'll be entertained for hours. And wait until your friends see the multi-player mode with dueling pee streams..." First the japanese gave us the Walkman, electronic pets and badly dyed and orange hair on asians...
