A controversial flu researcher has modified the flu virus responsible for the 2009 pandemic to allow it evade the human immune system. His lab’s previous works include recreating the Spanish flu and making a deadly bird flu strain highly transmittable.
The yet-to-be-published research by Professor Yoshihiro Kawaoka and his team is meant to give scientists better ways to fight influenza outbreaks, but gives chills to some people in academia, who are fearful that accidental release of the strain would result in a global disaster, according to a report by the Independent.

Israeli police are investigating the death of an Arab teenager, whose body was discovered in a forest near Jerusalem. He may have been kidnapped in a revenge attack after three Israeli teenagers were found dead after an apparent abduction.
The body of Muhammad Hussein Abu Khdeir, 17, was charred and bore signs of violence. It was found hours after police were informed of a youth being forced into a car in a Palestinian neighborhood of East Jerusalem, according to Israeli media.

A California truck driver pulled into the Blue Beacon Truck Wash in central Pennsylvania and spotted an advertisement for low-cost health exams for truckers. Needing one for his commercial driver’s license, he called the number on the sign and was picked up by a woman in an old Ford Tempo.
She drove him to her town house, where she performed the $65 physical, had him provide a urine sample and faxed the required forms to the California Department of Transportation. It all seemed a bit odd to trucker Todd Wakefield, whose suspicions were heightened when California authorities told him about irregularities in the paperwork. After some clever sleuthing of his own, Wakefield turned his findings over to Pennsylvania State Police — who say they uncovered a scam that snagged at least 16 commercial drivers they know about, and probably more they don’t.

Burger King has concocted yet another way to have it your way: a gay pride burger.
The Proud Whopper, as it’s called, comes wrapped in a rainbow colored wrapper with this inscription: “We are all the same inside.” It will be sold through Thursday at one Burger King restaurant on San Francisco’s Market Street, that was at the heart of the route for last weekend’s 44th annual San Francisco Pride Celebration & Parade.

In the run up to the 2008 Presidential election Barack Obama promised he would work to implement a domestic security force which would rival that of the U.S. military. It was an idea heavily criticized by his opponents because of fears that such an organization would bear similarity to World War II era spying groups that policed the citizens of Nazi Germany.

While the Obama administration struggles to speed up delivery of U.S. military assistance to the government of Iraq, Vladimir Putin has already delivered not only fighter jets but also the pilots needed to fly them, diplomatic sources told The Daily Beast.
On Monday, Russian television trumpeted the arrival of the first five of 12 promised Sukhoi Su-25 combat fighter jets to the Iraqi government, saying it had also sent “trainers” to help the Iraqis use them. Gen. Anwar Hama Ameen,the commander of the Iraqi Air Force, told The New York Times the fighter jets would enter the battle against ISIS within a few days, after which the Russian trainers would leave Iraq. He said Iraq had plenty of pilots with “long experience” flying the Su-25. The Russian ambassador to Iraq also said Russian pilots would not fly missions inside Iraq.

One out of four Americans will develop cancer in their lifetime. More than 350,000 people die every year from cancer in this country. And the sad truth is, it is entirely preventable, due to one simple fact: GREED.
For hundreds of years, British sailors died by the thousands every year from scurvy. Physicians were completely baffled by this dread disease. They believed it was caused by a virus or bacteria of some type. It wasn’t until 1747 that John Lind, a surgeon’s mate in the British Navy found that citrus fruits (lemons, oranges) could counteract the effects of scurvy, but his recommendations would not be implemented for another forty eight years, thus finally ending the scourge of this disease. It was simply nothing more than the lack of vitamin C.

“It’s just going to be screwed. And relatively quickly,” warns Tim Barnett, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, telling The Telegraph, the situation in Las Vegas is “as bad as you can imagine”. After a devastating, 14-year drought drained the reservoir that supplies 90% of the city’s water, the apparently endless supply of water is an illusion as Las Vegas population has soared. As Barnett ominously concludes, “unless it can find a way to get more water from somewhere, Las Vegas is out of business. Yet they’re still building, which is stupid.” Continue reading “Las Vegas Is “Screwed”; The Water Situation “Is As Bad As You Can Imagine””
After spending nearly $100 million to get an amnesty bill, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us is not giving up–even if President Barack Obama is signaling that he has.
After Obama said Monday that he would start unilaterally changing the country’s immigration laws, Joe Green, the president of FWD.us, was frustrated that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told the President that there would not be a vote on amnesty this year.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) is facing questions over his decision to repeatedly meet with activists who have ties to a group the FBI and Maine law enforcement consider a domestic terrorist organization.
Talking Points Memo published on Monday an excerpt from author Mike Tipping’s new book, in which he details how LePage engaged with members of the Constitutional Coalition, which is affiliated with the Sovereign Citizen movement. Members of the organization believe the government is planning an attack on Christian Americans by collecting firearms, that it runs mind-control operations and that it was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

If you have been searching for jobs these past six months or so, you’ve probably noticed an increasing amount of “Work at Home” jobs in the service sector. These are the kind of customer service and sales jobs that you would normally do at a call center, but now the companies are allowing you the ability to work at home on your own computer “for your convenience”.
It sounds great, as you don’t have to beat traffic to go to work, don’t have to put make-up on or dress appropriately, and you might even get in a few of your favorite shows here and there without anyone noticing between calls or even listen to your favorite music downloaded on your computer. What more can anyone ask for, right? Continue reading ““Work at Home” Jobs and their Negative Impact on Future Job Growth”
A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.
In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans. I have agreed to not to disclose their identities because they fear retaliation and prosecution. Continue reading “Medical staff warned: Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face arrest”
SHILOH, Ohio (AP) – Visitors from around the world to two upcoming events in Ohio’s Amish country could come away with more than they bargained for, health officials fear – a case of measles from the nation’s largest outbreak in two decades.
The outbreak, with more than 360 cases, started after Amish travelers to the Philippines contracted measles this year and returned home to rural Knox County, where it spread thanks to a lower rate of vaccination among the Amish and the difficulty public health authorities had in getting the word out to largely rural communities where phones are few and the Internet is nonexistent.
