MILWAUKEE (WITI) — A communication gap leads to an Ebola scare. It started out as a normal, quiet morning on W. Windlake Avenue, near south 13th St. But then the emergency crews arrived, and Romana Rivas got nervous.

“When you see the red tape and you see everybody standing in the street looking at our house and you don’t know what to think. I thought maybe carbon monoxide, a virus — I even thought of Ebola,” said Rivas.   Continue reading “Emergency crews respond to Ebola scare stemming from language barrier”

New software used by the Los Angeles Police Department shows not only where crime is most likely to happen, but also tracks ex-cons and others likely to commit crimes. Civil rights groups are concerned over its use for entrapment and data collection.

Dubbed ‘LASER,’ the software program was developed by the CIA’s venture capital arm and connects the dots from 15 separate sources of data to draw links and connections for combating crime. Ultimately it is able to analyze street crime locations, as well as ex-cons and their alliances, the Associated Press reported.   Continue reading “Los Angeles police using CIA software to track criminals, ex-cons”

Police officers in Florida surprised students, teachers and parents Thursday with an active shooter drill. And by “active shooter drill,” we mean that a Winter Haven middle school went into lockdown as two armed police officers burst into classrooms, guns drawn, leaving the unsuspecting children terrified — and their parents furious.

According to Fox affiliate WTVT, officials at Jewett Middle Academy e-mailed parents to inform them of the drill, after it took place. By that point, WTVT reports, cellphones were already filling up with texts from frightened students, who thought there was a real shooter in the school.   Continue reading “‘I thought he was going to shoot me.’ Unsuspecting middle school students terrified by active shooter drill.”

Relatively new to the food products market, Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, a Southern California-based family company famous for its organic, fair-trade pure castile soaps, has come under scrutiny by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for merely sharing with its customers the proven health benefits of eating extra-virgin coconut oil.

The FDA sent a letter to Dr. Bronner’s on July 8, 2014, warning that its Magic “All-One!” Fresh-Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil had suddenly transformed into an “unapproved drug” based on one simple health claim indicated on its packaging. By selling its coconut oil with the stated claim, maintains the FDA, Dr. Bronner’s is engaging in the sale and distribution of an illegal drug.   Continue reading “FDA targets Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps for sharing health benefits of coconut oil”
