Hero's return â€" and a shower â€" for Sabi, Australia's bomb sniffing dog, after year lost in Afghan desert

Lost labrador found wandering Afghanistan by US soldier after going missing during gun battle

A highly trained Australian special forces combatant who disappeared during a firefight in Afghanistan has been found safe, well and waggy-tailed after surviving for more than a year in the desert.

Sabi, an expert in detecting improvised explosive devices who also happens to be a four-year-old black labrador, went missing 14 months ago during a battle in which nine Australian soldiers, including her handler, were wounded. Months of searching revealed nothing and the dog, on her second tour of Afghanistan, was officially listed as missing in action.

Last week, however, a US serviceman known only as John spotted Sabi wandering in a remote area of the southern province of Oruzgan and, knowing his Australian counterparts had lost a bomb-sniffing dog, tried out some commands to which, Lassie-style, the labrador responded.

Back at Tarin Kowt base, Sabi was a little grizzled but otherwise unharmed. Her trainer checked she really was Sabi by means of the tennis ball test: he nudged a ball to her; she picked it up. "It's amazing, just incredible, to have her back," the trainer said.

Australia's prime minister, Kevin Rudd, who was coincidentally visiting his country's troops during a brief visit to Afghanistan, posed for photographs petting the dog, alongside US General Stanley McChrystal, overall commander of the US and Nato missions to Afghanistan. Rudd declared Sabi "a genuinely nice pooch".

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Sabi showed no signs of stress after her ordeal and greeted strangers "with a sniff and a lick".

It is not known whether the dog spent the past 14 months eluding Taliban forces in the area, as befits a special forces combatant, or whether she was captured and held as a prisoner of war, but the fact that she was in good condition when found suggested she had been well looked after, military spokesman Brigadier Brian Dawson, told reporters in Canberra.

She is now being tested for disease, with a view to returning to Australia, although Rudd suggested that passing quarantine tests "might be the greatest challenge".

Trooper Mark Donaldson was awarded a Victoria Cross for his part in the battle in which Sabi disappeared in September 2008, when a joint Australian-Afghan patrol was ambushed. He declared her return "the last piece of the puzzle.

"Having Sabi back gives some closure for the handler and the rest of us [who] served with her in 2008. It's a fantastic morale booster for the guys," he said.

Missing Colorado cat found in New York

Willow the cat traced back to family from where she went missing five years ago during house renovation project

A cat that went missing in Colorado five years ago was found wandering in Manhattan, and will soon be sent on a plane to reunite it with its former owners, an animal pound spokesman said.

Workers at the pet shelter traced Willow the cat back to a family in Colorado, thanks to a microchip embedded in the animal's neck that they checked with a scanner, said Richard Gentles, spokesman for Animal Care & Control of New York City.

A concerned citizen found the brown, black and white cat prowling the streets in east Manhattan, and the animal was taken to the shelter.

Animal care workers do not know who was taking care of the cat, but Gentles said one thing is certain â€" the pet did not travel halfway across the country on its own.

"The cat was in very good condition, clean, a little chunky," Gentles said. "So obviously someone was taking care of her."

Willow belongs to a Colorado family called the Squires, and the animal apparently ran away five years ago during a home renovation project, Gentles said.

Animal Care plans to soon fly the cat back to the Squires, after the animal passes a required screening test for communicable disease and to make sure it is healthy enough to travel, Gentles said.

Holy Spout!


(images via:Flickr,Flickr,Stanford)

Waterspouts can also form over lakes or rivers, but are most commonly seen over the ocean. They suck up the water in their path, billowing a water spray like a mushroom cloud against the water surface. Waterspouts can range in size from several feet to more than a mile high, and their width can vary from a few feet to hundreds of feet. It is not uncommon to see more than one water-twister at a time. Some ships have reported seeing as many as 30 waterspouts in a single day.

Waterspouts Erupting


(images via:Flame,Flickr,One Mom)

A person would need to be far above the water level, such as in a plane or on a mountain, to see the first sign of a waterspout. It starts as a dark spot forming on the ocean. The second phase still could not be seen from a ship, but could perhaps could be felt as the wind shifts and speeds up. If a person on a boat happened to look up at the cloud above when sensing the change in the wind, that person might notice a funnel forming in the clouds even though the vortex on the water’s surface is not clearly visible. As the winds increases, the spray is visible from the vortex on the ocean surface. When a waterspout is fully matured, anyone with eyes to see can watch the funnel reach from the cloud to dip and twist into the water. They also hiss and suck at the water instead of the rumbling growl of a twister on land.

Waterspouts


(images via:Flickr,Flickr,Flickr,Majorly Cool,Flickr)

Like folks spellbound by a tornado, people on beaches stand and stare as opposed to dashing for safety. The same awestruck curiosity occurs to some sailors on boats or ships. Once a waterspout forms, it could easily work like a supercell over the land where multiple twisters are spawned. If a waterspout were about to collide with your boat, your best bet might be diving underwater but even that is not guaranteed to save your life. Although you would manage to avoid the debris in the air, not enough is known about the vortex in the water. If could be safe or it could be like diving into the vortex of a maelstrom . . . a death sentence.

Twisters Over Water


(images via:Flickr,Flickr,wikimedia)

A waterspout is a funnel that forms over the water. Waterspouts are much weaker than twisters over the land. When the funnel stretches from the thunderstorm into the ocean or lake, water is the debris that flies in every direction. However, if something like a ship is on the surface of the water then there could be a real threat to the boat. Waterspouts occasionally move inland where their power and danger level increase to that of its viciously twisted sister, the tornado.

Rough Footage of Tornadoes


(images via:Flickr,Flickr,Storm Highway,Discovery,Flickr)

Many pictures of twisters leave much to desired in terms of a clean and clear photo. People, from scientists to thrill seekers, risk their lives to chase these storms. The knowledge they gather has saved countless lives, from helping set up tornado sirens to understanding how these monsters live and die so weathermen can better predict the path of destruction.

Many pictures of tornadoes today are as pretty as if they were art. Some actually are art since computer and graphic programs have advanced as much as the user ability. Without honesty, pictures can be posted and claimed to be a true tornado. Most good pictures of twisters have indeed been touched up through the magic of Photoshop. Nature is beautiful enough to be art. In the upper left picture, a small funnel is forming in the Florida sunset. The top right picture is claimed to be a tornado in a field, turned into panoramic art. Some tornadoes have aptly been named, “Hell in Paradise,” but twisters can form anywhere from an island retreat to the desert heat.

Scary Twisters Ranked by Fujita Scale


(images via:Think Quest,1websurfer,Flickr,Lightning Smiths)

A tornado’s intensity is independent of its actual size, since a skinny funnel can be either weak or strong; the same is true for a very large tornado. The Fujita scale ranks the strength of tornadoes. The scale ranges from F0 to F5 and the rankings are based according to destructive capacity rather than tornado size.  However, by examining the damage a storm has caused, scientists can determine the accurate wind speed which is a key component in the Fujita scale.

Hope, Even in the Midst of the Storm


(images via:Flickr,Flickr,Funny Chill)

It may seem like a contradiction, but even in the midst of disaster there can also exist hope. The top photo shows a twister, but the rain is coming in behind it to the thirsty ground a drink. A slight rainbow arches through the tornado. The middle picture is called “Oz.” Hail is clearly visible as well as a rainbow and a funnel. In the bottom photo, the wall cloud has sent its twister to churn up the Earth. Lightning flashes on one side as a rainbow shows from the other. We have advanced leaps and bounds from where our knowledge on tornadoes was even 20 years ago. Thanks to technology made available in part due to brave storm chasers, we can have hope in the midst of the storm.

Killers



(images via:Discovery,Tornado Pictures,bored to death,Weather Pix)

The tornadoes pictured above are killers. Violent tornadoes make up only 2% of all tornadoes, yet cause 70% of all tornado-related deaths. The violent tornado has a lifetime of more than 1 hour on the ground, destroying everything within its path as the winds reach over 205 mph. Even seeking shelter, some folks do not survive these apocalyptic storms. From the safety of cowering in a basement, the storm still roars like a demon in pain, winds howling, hail pounding, debris thudding against the house. Glass breaks and the roof groans before ripping off as the monster gets into the house. Make no mistake, the tornadoes in the photos violently mass-murdered people as well as destroyed property beyond recognition.

Multiple Funnels of Doom


(images via:Flickr,Flickr,Flickr,NOAA,Flickr)

Sometimes a supercell will spawn multiple funnels of doom. In the upper left picture, one funnel stretches toward the ground as others begin to take shape in the clouds. The middle photo on the left shows dueling disasters touching down. In the upper right corner, a triple threat twists and chews the field. The bottom right photo shows four tornadoes on the ground, with two or three more reaching downward between them.

The bottom left picture is one of the oldest and well documented multiple forming tornado pictures in existence. In March 1925, this tornado plowed through Missouri, southern Illinois and parts of southwest Indiana. This tornado cut a 219-mile path of death and destruction, killing 695 people and injuring 2,771 people. This tornado was likely an F5.

Dark and Deadly Tornadoes with Debris


(images via:You Think,bdnew,NOAA,Lightning Smiths,Lightning Smiths,Flickr,1websurfer)

Tornadoes typically grow to about 660 feet wide. Their winds may top 250 miles an hour and can rip a pathway a mile wide and 50 miles long. These funnels have touched down and turned brownish black as they hit something. A tornado can be colored white if it hits snow or colored red if it churns up soil that is clay. Tornadoes can pick up houses, buildings, vehicles, and people. The swirling debris can be hurled up to hundreds of miles, sometimes being located even states away. The atmosphere is so stirred up, it is difficult to see beyond the storm. Falling or flying debris can be as deadly as being in the path of the twister.

Lightning with Tornadoes


(images via:Storm Highway,Storm Highway,Flickr,Lightning Smiths,Tornado Pictures,Snopes,Storm Highway)

The skies grow darker and more ominous, holding some of us spellbound, but when the dazzling show of lightning combines with a rotating vortex of doom, it is well past the time to seek safety and shelter. Tornadoes at night can often be spotted in the darkness due to brilliant streaks of deadly lightning. On top of the proverbial roar of the train coming from the tornado, lightning crashes and rumbles. You do not have to see the tornado to hear the cacophony of destruction headed your way.

Tornadoes Come In All Shapes and Sizes


(images via:Flickr,National Geographic,Flickr,Discovery,Flickr,Discovery,Flickr,XO Private,Flickr,)

The second classification is “strong” tornadoes. These consist of more than a rotating stud cloud with a thin lasso of funnel coming down. A strong tornado is often accompanied with hard sideways rain, making vision all but impossible.  About 29% of all tornadoes are considered strong and result in nearly 30% of all tornado deaths. These may last 20 minutes or longer once they touch the ground with winds of about 100 to 205 mph.

Skinny Twisters, But Still Lethal


(images via:Flickr,Nation Geographic),Flickr,Photo Net,Daily Mail,Flickr)

Pictured above are vertical funnels of rapidly spinning air.  Funnel clouds may appear almost transparent.  They become visible when they pick up water droplets from a storm’s moist air or when dust and debris are picked up.  Once a funnel reached the ground, it becomes a tornado.  These skinny tornadoes would be considered in the “weak” category.  Their winds tend to be less than 110 mph and they travel from 1 to 10 minutes on the ground before dissipating.  These “weak” and skinny tornadoes cause less than 5% of tornado deaths, but they can still kill.

Formation: From a Thunderstorm to a Tornado


(images via:Life In The FastLane,Flickr,Flickr,Flickr,Cool Chaser,Flickr,Flickr)

Thunderstorms most often develop in warm, moist air in advance of moving cold fronts. These thunderstorms can produce strong damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. Huge amounts of energy are released as the water vapor in the rising air condenses. Some of this energy is changed into powerful vertical winds that can move downward (downdrafts) and upward (updrafts). The updrafts of a rotating supercell can form into a violent vortex, a tornado.

In the pictures above, the lowest part in the center of each cloud is called a wall cloud. Many times the wall cloud can be rain-free, but rain pours out of the sky in the background. Moments later in some cases, a strong tornado develops into a funnel that drops down to touch the ground and become a tornado. Environmental clues to watch for include a dark, often greenish sky, a wall cloud, large hail, and a loud roaring like a rolling freight train.

Nature is unbelievably beautiful, but sometimes she strikes fear in the hearts of man when her power amasses into thunderstorms from hell, towering infernos of rotating wind, pounding hail, and savaging supercells that spin out of control into meteorological menaces. The dark clouds warn us of impending doom, but some adrenaline junkie storm chasers go toward the danger in the name of science. The first three pictures were taken before tornadoes dropped down on the photographers. The bottom right photo was snapped of a rare mothership cloud formation hovering over Childress, Texas. This massive tornado later unleashed its violence, inflicted millions of dollars in damage, and Childress was declared a national disaster area.

70 Viciously Twisted Tornadoes and Waterspouts

By Angie in Nature & Ecosystems, Science & Research



Spellbound by the destructive forces of nature’s fury, we focus a morbid curiosity on twisters. Tornadoes combine more catastrophic energy in a tinier area than any other weather phenomenon. Also spawned from powerful thunderstorms, waterspouts form over warm water and sometimes move inland to join their stronger vicious sister, the tornado, and to wreak havoc on man and his environment. Here are 70 of the most wicked twisted sisters Nature has produced: tornadoes and waterspouts.

Boats and personal watercraft risk damage by water spouts, regardless of whether they are traveling at sea or docked in a marina.  A spout isn’t likely to sink or otherwise destroy a large vessel (cargo ship, megayacht, etc) but it can still cause serious harm.

When boaters see one or more spouts, they should quickly travel at a ninety-degree angle to its path.  If possible, avoid boating or return to port when the weather service issues tornado or thunderstorm warnings.  Waterfront home owners and marinas should also take precautions.

Unlike tornadoes, water spouts can form on the water and rise upward, or start in the clouds and eventually reach the surface.  Often the most dangerous type of spout forms in a thunderstorm’s clouds.

Last month a storm spawned four water spouts near Sunset Beach, CA.  The L.A. Times reported that one damaged boats at a marina.  Another spout was reported on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville last summer.  After about forty minutes, it went on land and became a tornado, causing minor damage.

Water spouts have also occurred on the Great Lakes, usually during the late summer and early autumn.  They were spotted on Lake Erie in 2006, 2004, and 2001.  Four appeared simultaneously over Lake Huron in 1999. There have been several over Great Salt Lake in Utah as well.

Overall, tornadoes and water spouts hold many similarities, but also some noteworthy differences.  They pose a danger to boaters and other people in or along the water, but taking the right precautions greatly reduces the risk.

Water Spouts: A Dangerous Phenomenon

MarineFuel News
February 13th, 2010



Water spouts can occur when tornadoes form or move over bodies of water.  This happens in lakes, rivers, bays, ponds, and the sea.  Water spouts appear in the tropics most commonly, and usually aren’t as strong as large tornadoes over land.

Water spouts sometimes form in hurricanes, squalls, or thunderstorms, but they can also materialize on their own.  Winds may exceed 125 miles per hour, giving them the capability to pick boats up high off the water’s surface.  They often aren’t visible at first, except from aircraft.

They have occurred in many different places, but most commonly appear in the Florida Keys. Spouts have also popped up in California, Tampa Bay, and the Bermuda region. Even in areas with high temperatures year around, they typically happen during the summer.

Water spouts at sea seldom appear late at night or during the mid-morning, at least in the Florida Keys.  One good way to maintain awareness about them is to use an NOAA Weather Radio, preferably with an alert siren feature.  A warning will sound if spouts have been spotted or could soon appear.

Various weather conditions signal the potential for a water spout.  Thunderstorms can spawn the strongest spouts, but they might also develop under rows of cumulus clouds. Spout-forming clouds usually have flat, dark bottoms and a slight breeze often accompanies them.

"The more I uncovered, the more pissed off I got that someone was making money on my disability. It's people like me that will keep these big companies honest," he added.

Maxim -- which has 300 offices in 40 states across the US -- was found to have made $61 million from phony reimbursements.

The company agreed to pay $121.5 million in reimbursements and penalties for the fake Medicaid claims and $8.4 million to the Veterans Administration. It was also fined $20 million.

West received $15 million for his efforts, as under federal law he was entitled to a percentage of the cash the company was ordered to pay back. He said he will spend his new millions on a new van, home improvements and donations to charities for the disabled.

Wheelchair-Bound Vietnam Vet Uncovers Multimillion Dollar Medicaid Fraud

September 14, 2011 | NewsCore

TUCKERTON, N.J. â€"  A wheelchair-bound Vietnam veteran with muscular dystrophy, from New Jersey, was enjoying his $15 million whistleblower reward Wednesday, after he uncovered a multimillion dollar medical aid fraud.

Richard West, 63, of Tuckerton, first found his Medicaid benefits were wrongly maxed out in 2004 during a visit to the dentist and spent the past seven years investigating the scam, the New York Post reported.

Following the dentist visit, West returned home and examined his own records, when he found Maxim Healthcare -- the agency that provides his health aides -- had billed the government for care he never got, including visits from nurses he never met.

After spending months trying to get government officials to investigate the scam, he hired a lawyer and filed a federal lawsuit. His efforts resulted in the largest financial settlement in home healthcare fraud history.

West said, "From my wheelchair, on a ventilator and oxygen, I have spent the last seven years in this fight. Sometimes, the good guy wins."
