Return to Story IndexSEX LIFE EXPECTANCY
WOMEN HAVE LONGER LIFE SPANS, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SEXUAL LIFE EXPECTANCY... MEN HAVE THE ADVANTAGE. A NEW UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO STUDY SAYS THE AVERAGE MAN IS WILL LIKELY BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE UNTIL ABOUT AGE SEVENTY... BUT FOR WOMEN, IT'S UNTIL SIXTY-FIVE. THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT THOUGH... ACCORDING TO PSYCHIATRIST KEITH ABLOW... ISN'T BECAUSE WOMEN ENJOY SEX LESS. IT'S BECAUSE THERE AREN'T AS MANY MEN AROUND WHEN THEY GET TO BE THAT AGE. if you're male you can look forward to a good sex life for 35 more years. For women, about 31 years, but that's not because the women might not like to have sex, might not enjoy it, it's because because men die at a faster rate at those ages it's tougher ot find partners. THE STUDY ALSO FOUND MEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO REPORT GOOD QUALITY SEX.. AS WELL THINK ABOUT SEX MORE ON A REGULAR BASIS. AND, PEOPLE WHO REPORT BEING IN BETTER HEALTH WERE TWICE AS LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE GOOD QUALITY SEX. THE STUDY... BASED ON SURVEY DATA FROM SIX THOUSAND PEOPLE... APPEARS IN THE BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.

Return to Story IndexBLACK BEAR DEN
EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY EXPLAINS IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE REPORT. We went to Boone County one snowy day looking for a black bear and her cubs wondering how they were riding out this long, cold winter. After tracking her to this tiny hole in the ground, biologists figured they were all doing fine. 35:20Eric Richmond/DNR Biologist says:(tighten this up a bit please) "As you can see by the hole, we had to excavate this ourselves to get in there. The hole was a little bit smaller than what you can see now. That much colder air was not able to enter the den being a tight fit in the rocks and the dirt around that-she was quite insulated from the cold weather." 32:33Patrick McMurtry/Eyewitness News says: (use the nats of cub inside to start the bite) "These cubs are still inside here. There's a lot of snow around here and it's been that way for the last several months and it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon. This is what they need to survive." Black bears find shelter for the winter in many different places, but they all have one common denominator: rain and snow can't get in. 25:33Gary Sharp DNR biologist says: Generally, the most common bear den is an excavation under a root ball, but whenever they get in a rock crevice like this, they can be a pretty tight fit. Typically when a bear picks its den, it's a place where if we get a lot of water, it will stay dry." 36:29 "Bears are just like us, they become wiser with age." That's why you'll see bears making their first dens in places you'd never expect-places which could use a little home improvements. 37:14Eric Richmond/DNR Biologist says: "We've found bears in brush piles, which offer very little cover from the elements, root balls, uprooted trees where they've excavated back in the earth. Rock holes like you see here which is what we all think of as a typical bear den, and, surprisingly enough, we've found bears in hollowed trees." And we've been there with the bears and the biologists every step of the way. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BLACK BEARS, GO TO WCHSTV dot COM, OR YOU CAN E-MAIL PATRICK DIRECTLY.
Return to Story IndexI DOG EATS DIAMOND
NATS: "That is unbelievable." WORD IS SPREADING FAST HERE. NATS: "OMG. That is hilarious. Hilarious. The Enquirer." EVEN A TABLOID PICKED UP ON IT. NATS: "So the dog swallowed the diamond?" YEP! SOLLIE THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER... SWALLOWED A DIAMOND. AND NOT JUST ANY STONE. IT WAS ONE JUST LIKE THIS. 3 CARROTS. VALUED AT 20-GRAND! KAUFMANN says: "I was shocked!" GEORGE KAUFMANN BRINGS "SOLLIE" TO WORK EVERYDAY. THE CO-OWNER OF ROBERT BERNARD JEWELERS IN ROCKVILLE MARYLAND... SAYS HE NEVER WORRIED BEFORE. KAUFMANN says: "It's like out of character. The dog normally doesn't eat a lot. Stones have dropped before and he didn't pay any attention." BUT "SOLLIE" DID THIS TIME! THE DIAMOND FELL.. AND LANDED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS MOUTH. NATS: "I went like this with him to see if it was in there." IT WAS GONE ALRIGHT! AND WHAT'S WORSE? THE GEM BELONGED TO A VISITING DIAMOND DEALER. SO KAUFMANN AND HIS BUSINESS PARTNER... WERE ON THE HOOK FOR 20-THOUSAND. MOS says: "I haven't read the policy yet but I don't know if there's a "dog swallows diamond clause" in there." THE FIRST CALL.. WASN'T THE INSURANCE AGENT. IT WAS THE VET! THE ADVICE? LET NATURE TAKES ITS COURSE. KAUFMANN says: "When we took a walk in the evening and morning, he's pretty regular, I collected it and went through it. I made sure I didn't throw it out until the diamond was found. So I had a nice 3 day collection." 3 DAYS OF CAREFUL INSPECTIONS-- PAID OFF. KAUFMANN says: "I screamed and woke up my son. He wanted to know what was going on at 7 in the morning! HE FOUND THE DIAMOND. AND IN DOING SO.. FOUND 15 MINUTES OF FAME. THE DIAMOND IS THREE-EIGHTHS OF AN INCH IN WIDTH. SO IT REALLY WAS LIKE FINDING A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK... SO TO SPEAK
