Houston zoo elephant on pregnancy weight loss program miscarries

By Amanda Orr

HOUSTON (Reuters) - A pregnant Asian elephant named Tess that was part of a much-publicized weight loss program has miscarried twin calves halfway through her gestation, Houston Zoo officials said on Tuesday.

"In Asian elephants, twins may share a common blood source which can compromise the health of the calves. Twins can also present complications in delivery and compromise the health of the mother," Dr. Dennis Schmitt, an elephant reproductive expert, said in the statement released by the zoo.

Last month, the zoo said it was putting the then roughly 7,700-pound (3,500-kg) Tess on a weight loss and exercise regimen, which included a lower calorie diet and a daily 2 mile (3.2 km) walk, in an effort to help her cut 500 pounds (227 kg) in time for her expected delivery in about a year.

Tess was being watched closely by the zoo's veterinarians and staff for any possible signs of physical and psychological damage from the miscarriage, the zoo said, adding it would not be offering any further details.

A ‘serial pooper’ on the loose in Houston was caught on camera

The neighborhood of Woodland Heights in Houston, Texas has an unwelcome visitor who has repeatedly defecated in the yards, and more often driveways, of several residents. The ‘serial pooper,’ as some have described the man, has even targeted one particular house six times.

KPRC Local 2 reports, Precinct One Constable’s Office Deputies are on the hunt for this unidentified man. He was caught on surveillance video by one of his victims, and authorities are using that footage to track down the suspect. The man leaving his personal waste in the neighborhood is described as an older, balding man with a mustache, who was wearing shorts at the time the video was captured. Deputies say that the man will likely face a charge of criminal mischief or one of indecent exposure.

(KPRC)

Officers believe he is striking between 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. and when Sergeant J.C. Mosier spoke to radio station KRLD 1080, he said revenge is a possible motive. The sergeant recalled, “I do remember many years ago here in Houston, this was going on and it turned out to be a neighbor who was just mad at people for letting their dogs come in his yard and not cleaning up after them. So he decided to get his own little bit of revenge.”

While some residents, and neighbors (who likely haven’t been hit), are getting a slight chuckle out of the strange situation, the victims are hoping the offender is nabbed quickly. Patrick Reese, a nearby resident said, "It's definitely not a nice thing to do to people. Going bathroom in their driveway is not nice. That's definitely not something that's suppose to go on in polite society." Fellow neighbor Aimee Parsons told KPRC, "This is our neighborhood. Whatever people might think should go on around here, pooping is not okay. We don't want dogs pooping in our yards why would we want a human? It is very strange."

After the surveillance footage aired on local TV, authorities received calls from people who think they know who the suspect is. Mosier believes that with their increased patrols, authorities will likely find the suspect in the next few days and he will be arrested. Even though he said the crime is more of a nuisance than dangerous, Sgt. Mosier added, “Who knows? You don’t know who the person is. You have to worry about anybody that would go to this extreme to do something, no matter what the reason. So, you don’t know what a person like that is capable of.”

Facelift Houston

Facelift Houston


A number of people have this mistaken belief that a procedure like a facelift is only for movie stars or those who love themselves too much. The fact is that many people especially those who are aging rapidly resort to this procedure because they want to look young to improve their looks. This reality has made Texans very giddy and there is a facelift Houston procedure that can improve their looks dramatically. Incidentally, it is a known fact that when people are exposed to the elements, are affected by gravity, and grow older their skin starts to sag.


Those who have good genes will have an advantage over the others, but they cannot fight Father Time. Eventually, they will experience sagging and loose skin aside from wrinkles that form in the neck, cheeks and jaw line. For these reasons, a facelift Houston procedure is needed to address these concerns and people will be glad to note that this procedure will remove excess skin and tissues that tend to sag can be tightened. The results will be gratifying to many people because their youthful looks will be restored and they will feel better about themselves.


Currently, technology is so advanced that unsightly wrinkles can be removed by laser procedures. Others do not wait for the aging to take effect so they undergo a facelift in their younger years which is similar to what movie stars do. Those who undergo the procedure in their latter years still get the results that they desire that they take pride in their looks.


Still others go for cosmetic surgery, but this is not as effective as the facelift procedure. Since facelift procedures are widely accepted by many clients, they will need to undergo four hours of surgery and they can be operated on in a hospital or outpatient facility.


Not surprisingly, most patients prefer anesthesia and stay in the hospital for the first night many have claimed that they experienced no pain when they underwent the facelift Houston procedure. Upon the completion of the procedure, a doctor will wrap his patients with a bulky bandage around their necks, heads, and faces. Also, excess fluids will be drained by small rubber tubes. The next day, these bandages will be removed and a thinner bandage will be applied in the upper facial parts of these patients. After three more days, the specialist will wash the hair of his patients.


By the tenth day, the sutures will be removed and patients can apply makeup sans the hassles. Patients will be fully recovered from surgery after two weeks and they can resume their normal activities. On the other hand, there are some patients who have enough money so they undergo a facelift aside from other facial surgeries or procedures. There is lesser pain on their part and these results to even better and more vibrant looks. In conclusion, a facelift is good for people who want to look younger and more vibrant. They just need to undergo the procedure with a trusted specialist.

Macy’s building in Houston goes out with a bang

The landmark Macy's building in Houston, Texas, had an explosive ending this weekend. The video captures the 10-story historic site turning to rubble in just 10 seconds.

“I was sad to see it close,” one observer told KHOU at a watch party in a nearby high rise. “I was excited to see it go boom,” said another. The two were among hundreds of spectators who turned up in the early morning from a safe distance to watch the Macy’s store go out with a bang.

The demolition of the 66-year-old structure had been planned for months, according to the station. Officials set up a nine-block safety zone to ensure nobody would be injured from the blast.

Nearby buildings boarded up windows with plywood. And nearby drains were covered to keep out the dust. Small fires broke out after the building came down, but were quickly extinguished, according to WTRK.

"Everything went according to the plan," Houston Fire Department spokesman Kenyatta Parker told Chron.com.

In 2006 Macy's took over the lease from Foley’s, a department store that had been around since the 1940s. The building owner decided to raze it and replace it with a modern office tower, leading to the demolition day, Chron.com reported, and also indicated that Houston hopes to open a Macy's downtown.
