MONROVIA, Liberia — Amid the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, it’s easier to get help if you are dead than if you are alive.

My producer and I were driving back from an assignment in Monrovia, where we filmed this morning’s “Good Morning America” segment, when we saw a burial team working along the roadway surrounded by crowds of angry locals.   Continue reading “Man Thought to Have Died From Ebola Awakens After Burial Team Wraps Him Up”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS’s Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation  in an interview broadcast Sunday that he was “baffled” by President Obama’s assertion that if Israel goes forward with construction of a new housing development in East Jerusalem, it risks condemnation from the United States. “It’s not the American way,” said Netanyahu.

“I was baffled by this statement, because it doesn’t reflect American values. What we’re being criticized for is that some Jewish residents of Jerusalem bought apartments legally from Arabs in a predominantly Arab neighborhood, and this is seen as a terrible thing.”   Continue reading “Netanyahu: White House Criticism Un-American”

In the zombie flick 28 Days Later an unstoppable viral plague sweeps the nation altering people into brainless monsters with cannibalistic tendencies.

Though dead people can’t come back to life, certain virus can provoke aggression, zombie-like behavior.

For example, rabies–a viral disease that infects the central nervous system–has the capability to drive a person violently mad. Feelings such as anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, and paralysis are all typical applicants of the rabies virus. If we were to combine rabies with Ebola or the flu virus it could easily spread through the air and we might have our version of a zombie apocalypse; obviously not dead people rising but a virus that drives people mad.   Continue reading “What!? Zombie Rabies-Ebola Hybrid Virus in the Making? 100% Proof of Patented Vaccine- I Don’t Make This Stuff Up…”

People from at least 136 cities across six continents have marched to press their countries’ authorities to stop the poaching of elephants and rhinos, a practice that has almost led to their extinction.

“Unless action is taken now, we will lose these majestic, highly-intelligent and emotionally-sentient creatures FOREVER,” says the statement from the official page of Global March for Elephants and Rhinos.   Continue reading “Worldwide march against elephant, rhino extinction draws thousands”

Ebola is in America, news you couldn’t have missed even if you tried thanks to the media scare spreading across the nation. Of course, America’s favorite faux-Republican pundit had to weigh in on the news that “these are clearly the end times.”   Continue reading “‘We Have to Cut Off All Contact With Places With Ebola,’ Starting With Texas”

NEW YORK – A horrifying threat has surfaced in the fight West Africans are waging against the epidemic of Ebola – dogs digging up corpses of virus victims and feasting on the remains, then carrying the infection with them wherever they go next.

A recent report in the Mail Online in the U.K. said villagers in Liberia were complaining dogs were found digging up the corpses of Ebola victims buried in shallow graves and eating them in the street.   Continue reading “Dogs eat Ebola victims, spread plague”

After 80 years of painstaking experimentation, scientists have directly observed a sub-atomic particle that is its own antiparticle. The breakthrough promises a leap forward in quantum computing and potentially shows the path to finding dark matter.

The particles are called the Majorana fermions, after the Italian scientist who proposed their existence back in 1937. Quantum theory was in its infancy at the time, and scientists first theorized that antimatter existed: an opposite particle to the commonly-observed electrons and other particles were necessary for quantum equations to work.   Continue reading “Finally! Sub-atomic particle observed, both matter & antimatter”

Nature's Most Wicked-Looking Robot, the BacteriophageGizmodo – by Mark Wilson

I can’t lie; I’ve been waiting for an excuse to post a picture of a bacteriophage*, the microscopic spider virus that lands on bacteria to inject its own DNA, for a long time. This Cyborg Life gives me an excuse.

Rather than attacking typical plant or animal cells, the bacteriophage uses bacteria as its host for replication. Highly specialized, the bacteriophage lands on a specific part of a specific bacteria, and just like a syringe with legs, injects its genetic material (which is stored in that big bulb on top).   Continue reading “Nature’s Most Wicked-Looking Robot, the Bacteriophage”
