Authorities in Seoul said the missiles were fired in the space of less than an hour from the Sunan area in Pyongyang. It comes just a day after US President Joe Biden left the region, following a trip that saw him vowing to bolster measures to deter North Korea. North Korea has been test-firing a flurry of ballistic missiles since the beginning of this year.

The three were being treated as outpatients in hospital and were in a stable condition, a statement said. Anthrax is considered to be primarily a zoonotic disease, meaning that humans usually pick it up from infected animals. It is not an airborne illness like the flu. Victims are usually people who work closely with animals. On Sunday, the agriculture ministry confirmed an outbreak among animals in the north-west of the country, with more than 200 dying. It was the first such outbreak for three decades. Anthrax can cause severe illness and be fatal for humans if not treated, but usually it does not spread easily. Sierra Leone's Emergency Operation Centre is closely monitoring the situation and increasing public awareness. The World Health Organization has been notified. Anthrax is caused by bacillus anthracis. It largely survives as spores that hide away in soil for years before entering an animal through a cut or wound. Anthrax can be treated with antibiotics but treatment needs to start soon after infection.

The World Health Organization has said another 50 suspected cases are being investigated - without naming any countries - and warned that more cases are likely to be reported. Infections have been confirmed in nine European countries, as well as the US, Canada and Australia. Monkeypox is most common in remote parts of Central and West Africa. It is a rare viral infection which is usually mild and from which most people recover in a few weeks, according to the UK's National Health Service. The virus does not spread easily between people and the risk to the wider public is said to be very low. There is no specific vaccine for monkeypox, but a smallpox jab offers 85% protection since the two viruses are quite similar.

The light from this object has taken 12.9 billion years to reach us. It's at the sort of distance that telescopes normally would only be able to resolve galaxies containing millions of stars. But the Hubble space observatory has picked out Earendel individually by exploiting a natural phenomenon that's akin to using a zoom lens. It's called gravitational lensing and it works like this: If there is a great cluster of galaxies in the line of sight, the gravitational pull from this mass of matter will bend and magnify the light of more distant objects behind. Usually, this is just other galaxies, but in this specific case Earendel was in a sweetspot in the lens effect.

(AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea launched a ballistic missile into the sea on Sunday, its neighbors said, in a resumption of weapons tests that came as the United States and its allies are focused on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The missile launch was the eighth of its kind this year. Some experts have said North Korea is trying to perfect its weapons technology and pressure the United States into offering concessions like sanctions relief amid long-stalled disarmament talks. North Korea also might view the U.S. preoccupation with the Ukraine conflict as a chance to accelerate testing activity without any serious response from Washington. Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said the North Korean missile flew about 300 kilometers (190 miles) at a maximum altitude of about 600 kilometers (370 miles) before landing off North Korea’s eastern coast and outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone. No damage to vessels or aircraft has been reported, he said. https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-north-korea-joint-chiefs-of-staff-cc367280cdb38d89c4f4b624b3eef2f3 North Korea fires ballistic missile in resumption of testing

When you’re searching for signs of extraterrestrial life, you want to be very careful about getting it right before you make any announcements. Last year we had only just started secondary verification tests, and there were too many unanswered questions.

Save the date: December 18, 2021. The largest space telescope in history is about to blow our minds Exploring strange new worlds. Understanding the origins of the universe. Searching for life in the galaxy. These are not the plot of a new science fiction movie, but the mission objectives of the James Webb Space Telescope, the long-awaited successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA is building and launching the Webb in partnership with the European Space Agency and Canada. The launch, which will propel the Webb to nearly a million miles away, is now scheduled for December 18, 2021. When it fully deploys in space, the Webb will usher in a new age of astronomy, scientists say, and show humanity things it has never seen before. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/22664709/james-webb-space-telescope-launch-date-december-science-hubble?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are oddly bright flashes of light, registering in the radio band of the electromagnetic spectrum, that blaze for a few milliseconds before vanishing without a trace. These brief and mysterious beacons have been spotted in various and distant parts of the universe, as well as in our own galaxy. Their origins are unknown, and their appearance is unpredictable. Since the first was discovered in 2007, radio astronomers have only caught sight of around 140 bursts in their scopes.

A groundbreaking report by the Pentagon, compiled using decades of military intelligence about UFO encounters, will be released imminently. The US Congress passed legislation in December mandating the Department of Defence and the National Intelligence Director to produce a report about ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ within six months. That deadline is reached today, with those around the world who believe the truth is out there now eagerly awaiting its contents. Former president Barack Obama hinted at the significance of the report during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden last month. “What is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t exactly know what they are,” Mr Obama said. “We can’t explain how they move, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern, and so I think that people still take seriously, trying to investigate and figure out what that is.”

More likely, it will be an alien civilization’s trash. Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, believes he’s already found some of that garbage. In his upcoming book, “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), out Jan. 26, the professor lays out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology.

Known as the Chapare virus, the infection causes high fevers, abdominal pain, bleeding gums, eye pain and skin rashes. A single case was reported in the Bolivian province for which the disease is named in 2003 after it made the jump from animals - apparently through the bites or scratches of rodents - to humans. But now the CDC has confirmed during a Monday conference that it reappeared in 2019 and spread from one patient to four others - and three of the five total cases proved fatal, LiveScience reported. Hope the above does not come true. :(

They are typically extragalactic, meaning they originate outside our galaxy, but on April 28 this year, multiple telescopes detected a bright FRB from the same area within our Milky Way. Importantly, they were also able to pin down the source: galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154. Magnetars, young neutron stars that are the most magnetic objects in the universe, have long been prime suspects in the hunt for the source of these radio bursts.

Determining whether the crafts are operated by troublesome Earthlings or curious extraterrestrials will be a central concern of the task force. Earlier this year, the Pentagon released three short videos showing U.S. aircraft encountering such phenomena, while service members were recorded reacting in awe at how quickly the objects were moving. Donald Trump in April called the footage a “hell of a video” and told Reuters he wondered “if it’s real.” The Pentagon had previously studied recordings of aerial encounters with unknown objects as part of a program that ran from 2007 to 2012.

Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are radio emissions that appear temporarily and randomly from space, ranging from a fraction of a millisecond to a few milliseconds. The space telescope Integral, operated by the European Space Agency, traced the FRB to a highly magnetic dead star known as a magnetar, called SGR 1935+2154. This particular magnetar was recently detected radiating a combination of X-rays and radio waves, astronomers at the ESA reveal.

In a new study, Columbia University astronomer David Kipping used the Bayesian model to determine the odds that life should exist on Earth.

We also know that the first multicellular organism, which eventually produced today's technological civilization, took far longer to evolve, approximately 4 billion years. But despite knowing when life first appeared on Earth, scientists still do not understand how life occurred, which has important implications for the likelihood of finding life elsewhere in the universe.

Dennehy, a two-time Tony Award winner who co-starred in a wide range of films, often in tough-guy roles, died of natural causes in Connecticut on Wednesday night, ICM Partners announced in a statement. In a tweet, his daughter described him as "larger than life" and "generous to a fault." Dennehy co-starred in a long list of popular movies, including "First Blood" (as the local sheriff who clashes with Sylvester Stallone's Rambo), the western "Silverado," and the science-fiction classic "Cocoon." He played Chris Farley's dad in the comedy "Tommy Boy," and portrayed basketball coach Bobby Knight in a made-for-TV movie. I watched "Cocoon," 1&2 more than a 1/2 dozen times. R.I.P. Brian Dennehy I will miss your great acting.

There have been cases reported of the infectious virus spreading to others in a household or workplace in China and elsewhere. The new case is the sixth reported in the United States. The other five were travelers who developed the illness after returning to the U.S. from China. The latest patient had not been in China. The Chicago woman returned from central China on Jan. 13, then last week went to a hospital with symptoms and was diagnosed with the viral illness. She and her husband, both in their 60s, are hospitalized. Experts have said they expected additional cases, and that at least some limited spread of the disease in the United States was likely.

The Centers for Disease Control said the virus, which originated in China, had been diagnosed in a traveller who arrived in Seattle from China. The virus, which spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan, has infected almost 300 people, and six have died. North Korea has temporarily closed its borders to foreign tourists in response to the threat, a tour operator says. The patient diagnosed in the US returned from Wuhan on 15 January, the CDC said. "The patient sought care at a medical facility in the state of Washington, where the patient was treated for the illness," it added in a statement.

Astronomers have found a stellar-mass black hole clocking in at around 70 times the mass of the Sun - but according to current models of stellar evolution, its size is impossible, at least in the Milky Way. The chemical composition of our galaxy's most massive stars suggests that they lose most of their mass at the end of their lives through explosions and powerful stellar winds, before the star's core collapses into a black hole. The hefty stars in the mass range that could produce a black hole are expected to end their lives in what is called a pair-instability supernova that completely obliterates the stellar core. So astronomers are scratching their heads trying to figure out how the black hole - named LB-1 - got so chonky.

An amateur astronomer has discovered a comet that could come from outside our Solar System. If so, it would be the second interstellar object after the elongated body known as 'Oumuamua was identified in 2017. The Minor Planet Center (MPC) at Harvard University has issued a formal announcement of the discovery. The body appears to have a "hyperbolic" orbit, which would appear to indicate its origin in another planetary system. A hyperbolic orbit is an eccentric one, where the shape deviates substantially from that of a perfect circle. A perfect circle has an eccentricity of 0. The elliptical orbits of many planets, asteroids and comets have eccentricities between 0 and 1.

The answer is when heavy metals are detected escaping from the planet's atmosphere, instead of condensing into clouds. Observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveal magnesium and iron gas streaming from the strange world outside our solar system known as WASP-121b. The observations represent the first time that so-called "heavy metals"â€”elements heavier than hydrogen and heliumâ€”have been spotted escaping from a hot Jupiter, a large, gaseous exoplanet very close to its star. Normally, hot Jupiter-sized planets are still cool enough inside to condense heavier elements such as magnesium and iron into clouds.

The object, which appears to be a large, oblong rock, was first seen in the solar system in October 2017, though it only remained in the solar system for about three weeks. Some of the data scientists captured from Oumuamua suggested that it had an unusual composition and seemed to accelerate as it traveled.

It detected them using the transit technique, measuring the dip in light intensity whenever an orbiting planet moved across the face of its host star as viewed from Earth. Transits can not only measure the orbital period, they often can determine the size of the exoplanet from the detailed depth and shape of its transit curve and the host star's properties. The transit method, however, does not measure the mass of the planet. The radial velocity method, by contrast, which measures the wobble of a host star under the gravitational pull of an orbiting exoplanet, allows for the measurement of its mass. Knowing a planet's radius and mass allows for the determination of its average density, and hence clues to its composition.

Its origin is approximately towards R.A. 51.1âˆ˜+14.6âˆ˜âˆ’40.5âˆ˜ and declination +10.4âˆ˜+2.2âˆ˜âˆ’11.8âˆ˜, implying that its initial velocity vector was 57Â±24kmsâˆ’1 (all error bars representing Â±2Ïƒ) away from the velocity of the Local Standard of Rest (LSR). Its high LSR speed implies a possible origin from the deep interior of a planetary system or a star in the thick disk of the Milky Way galaxy. The local number density of its population is 106+0.75âˆ’1.5AUâˆ’3 or 9Ã—1021+0.75âˆ’1.5pcâˆ’3 (necessitating 0.2 - 20 Earth masses of material to be ejected per local star). This discovery enables a new method for studying the composition of interstellar objects, based on spectroscopy of their gaseous debris as they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.

That's because when the measles vaccine first became available, in 1963, there were two versions and only one was effective. The first version of the early vaccine was inactivated, also known as "killed" measles vaccine. The other version was live attenuated measles vaccine, which was a weakened form of the virus. The killed vaccine was discontinued in 1967 when it was determined that it did not, in fact, protect against measles virus infection. Born In The 1960s?

TOI (TESS Object of Interest) 197.01 is considered to be a "hot Saturn." It's similar in size to that planet and orbits its host star at a close distance, circling it every 14 days, which creates a high surface temperature on the planet.

This may be the most challenging Ebola outbreak ever. Health workers face the threat of attack from rebel groups and resistance from frightened communities. A highly mobile population produced two scares in the past week alone: The discovery of an infected, wide-ranging young trader led to vaccinations in a new, third province near the South Sudan border. And two contacts of Ebola victims slipped away and were found in the capital of neighboring Uganda â€” free of the virus. :-( Number of dead has risen. Thanks Nick.

Everybody wants to be found. So itâ€™s natural, as our science has progressed, that the human race should project its collective hopes onto the cosmos and see if anyone else is reaching out to us. The last century is permeated with science fiction of alien visitors, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (or SETI) is the manifestation of our hopes that someone out there is trying to find us. So great is our desire for contact, we instinctually see aliens in emissions of radiation, in planetary landscapes, and in comets on hyperbolic trajectories.

Bubonic plague found in Wyoming cat, 3rd such infection in 6 months A domesticated cat has become the third feline in six months to be infected with bubonic plague in Wyoming in the Western US. The cat was known to wander the area near its home and, when it showed worrying symptoms, samples were sent for testing. Bubonic plague infection was confirmed by the lab at the University of Wyoming shortly thereafter. The cat fully recovered from the infection, according to a spokesperson for the Wyoming Department of Health, and with modern antibiotics and treatment, plague infections pose no major threat â€“ certainly nothing close to the â€˜Black Deathâ€™ which wiped out millions of people during the Middle Ages.

That color has been associated with objects that are rich in ice, and given its distance from the sun, that isn't hard to believe. Its slow orbit probably takes more than 1,000 years to make one trip around the sun, the researchers said. 'Farout,' the most-distant solar system object discovered

Dark matter is matter that does not give off any light, but is detectable by its gravitational pull on other matter. It was first discovered in the 1970s in studies of spiral galaxies, whose outer regions rotated too fast only to be driven by the visible stars and gas in those regions. Astronomers reasoned there must be more mass that is unseen. Decades of galaxy observations have shown that almost all galaxies contain huge quantities of this "dark matter," and that, in fact, there is about five times as much dark matter as there is normal, visible matter in the universe. Interesting! https://phys.org/news/2018-12-astronomers-dark-dominates-cosmic.html

Could 'Oumuamua be an extraterrestrial solar sail? On October 19th, 2017, the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System-1 (Pan-STARRS-1) in Hawaii announced the first-ever detection of an interstellar asteroid, named 1I/2017 U1 (aka, "Oumuamua). In the months that followed, multiple follow-up observations were conducted that allowed astronomers to get a better idea of its size and shape, while also revealing that it had the characteristics of both a comet and an asteroid. Interestingly enough, there has also been some speculation that based on its shape, 'Oumuamua might actually be an interstellar spacecraft (Breakthrough Listen even monitored it for signs of radio signals!). A new study by a pair of astronomers from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) has taken it a step further, suggesting that 'Oumuamua may actually be a light sail of extra-terrestrial origin.

Four new cases surfaced last week in people who did not appear to have come into contact with other infected patients, causing concern for health workers. The official warning came just days after the death toll rose to 78 in the central African country on August 28. Officials admit it is hard to track where the Ebola virus - which has killed 78 - is spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There are still 'substantial risks' in the area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the grip of a deadly Ebola outbreak, the World Health Organisation has warned. Clyde wrote: "The news comes on the back of revelations earlier this week by the United Statesâ€™ government that China has, for over a year, refused its requests to share lab samples of the same strain of avian influenza virus." Referencing "lab samples" of the virus, not a vaccine. Why? Don't know why. Hate to think China, no doubt, is working on a vaccine before they release the virus on the world.

But scientists report that they are now making advances in a new technique that avoids antibiotics. Instead, they are using light to activate oxygen, which then wipes out antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The method also could be used to treat other microbial infections, and possibly even cancer. The researchers are presenting their results today at the 256th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Clinical facilities currently have few alternatives when trying to rid their patients of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). The Veterans Health Care System, for example, hires infection prevention staff to track hand hygiene. Going even further, one recent study found that disinfecting every patient admitted to an acute-care setting cut the rate of bloodstream infections in half. However, this procedure isn't feasible at most hospitals. https://phys.org/news/2018-08-weaponizing-oxygen-infections-disease.html

The U.S. Tsunami Warning Center also said the quake was too deep to cause a tsunami. The quake was 347.7 miles (560 km) below the Earth which would have dampened the shaking at the surface. "I would not expect any damage. People will feel it but it's so deep that I would not expect any damage," USGS geophysicist Jana Pursley said by telephone. The quake was initially reported as a magnitude 8.0 and then upgraded to 8.2, a magnitude that could cause tremendous damage had it not been so deep. The epicenter was located 167 miles (270 km) east of Levuka in Fiji and 275 miles (443 km) west of Neiafu in Tonga. The area is located on the earthquake-prone Ring of Fire.

The FDA announced the voluntary recall of several drugs containing the active ingredient valsartan. The FDA said the recall was due to an impurity, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which was found in the products and is classified as a probable human carcinogen The following are products listed in the recall, according to the FDA: Valsartan from Major Pharmaceuticals Valsartan from Solco Healthcare Valsartan from Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) from Solco Healthcare Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) from Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. The FDA points out that not all products containing valsartan are being recalled. Officials note that because valsartan is used in medicines to treat serious medical conditions such as heart problems, patients who take the recalled medicines should continue taking them until they have a replacement. photo To determine if youâ€™re medication has been recalled, look at the drug name and company name on the label of your prescription bottle. If you canâ€™t find the information on the bottle, you should contact your pharmacy. If your medicine is listed in the recall, you should contact your pharmacy or doctor to discuss treatment.

After ten captions or NO LATER THAN 48 hours, the winner of the last round declares the winner of the current round - whatever caption strikes him/her as funniest: he/she also picks a second and third place (more on that below.) The winner of the round has 24 hours to post another picture to be captioned; if no picture within the 24 hours, (or notice posted by the winner that he/she is looking...) then second place is up, who also has 24 hours... During breaks in the action, (between a winner being declared and the next picture posted) general discussion may take place... Moderators should be aware that a picture posting may cross with a "general discussion" type posting.

Just what is Nipah virus and why is it on the priority disease watchlist of the World Health Organization? Itâ€™s one of the deadliest viruses out there. â€œItâ€™s the worst disease no one has ever heard of,â€ said Dr. Jon Epstein, wildlife veterinarian and epidemiologist for the EcoHealth Alliance. Nipah rarely infects people, but when it does, it can make them very, very sick. â€œThis is a virus that when it gets into people, in Bangladesh, it kills them on average three-quarters of the time and in some cases 100 percent of the time,â€ Epstein said. It causes encephalitis,a brain inflammation that is often fatal and that can cause long-term disabilities in survivors.

Lyme disease is the most common illness attributed to ticks. "It's the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere and in North America, in the U.S. specifically," says Dr. Bobbi Pritt, a parasitic diseases expert at Mayo Clinic. "By vector-borne, we mean something that can transmit an infectious organism, be it a bacterium, a virus or a parasite, to a human. Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. It's also caused by Borrelia mayonii which we helped to identify here at Mayo Clinic. It is one of our big concerns, but it's not the only concern." "There are other tick-borne diseases like anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Powassan virus, Borrelia miyamotoi infection, and those are just diseases transmitted by the blacklegged tick, formerly known as the deer tick," says Pritt. "We have other ticks that will transmit the disease-causing agents of ehrlichiosis. Now, there are new viruses such as Bourbon virus and Heartland virus.

Based on new information, CDC is expanding its warning to consumers to cover all types of romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Arizona growing region. This warning now includes whole heads and hearts of romaine lettuce, in addition to chopped romaine and salads and salad mixes containing romaine. Do not buy or eat romaine lettuce at a grocery store or restaurant unless you can confirm it is not from the Yuma, Arizona, growing region. Unless the source of the product is known, consumers anywhere in the United States who have any store-bought romaine lettuce at home should not eat it and should throw it away, even if some of it was eaten and no one has gotten sick. Product labels often do not identify growing regions; so, throw out any romaine lettuce if youâ€™re uncertain about where it was grown. This includes whole heads and hearts of romaine, chopped romaine, and salads and salad mixes containing romaine lettuce. If you do not know if the lettuce is romaine, do not eat it and throw it away. Restaurants and retailers should not serve or sell any romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Arizona growing region. The expanded warning is based on information from newly reported illnesses in Alaska. Ill people in Alaska reported eating lettuce from whole heads of romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Arizona growing region. Multistate Outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 Infections Linked to Romaine Lettuce

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, killing more than 150,000 people a year. For cancer that has spread beyond the lungs, the five-year survival rate is historically just 1%. But trials over the last five years have repeatedly shown more uses for immune therapy in lung cancer, and the new research confirms that nearly all lung cancer patients will now receive immune therapy, said Patrick Forde, the first author on one of the studies and a lung cancer specialist at Johns Hopkins Medical. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/04/16/new-studies-show-hope-turning-immune-system-against-lung-cancer/522225002/ Thanks for the articles Gary.

Dr. Shannon Waters, a medical health officer with Island Health, said the individuals likely contracted the illness after eating herring eggs harvested on the coast of Vancouver Island. Testing is still under way to determine the exact strain of the bacterial infection, she said. "This is unique. We have not seen this before in B.C.," Waters said. Symptoms of cholera include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea that can lead to extreme dehydration. Cholera may be passed person-to-person, but is usually contracted from bacteria in food or water sources infected with fecal matter, Waters said. There have been a few cases in the United States, where people contracted the illness from eating raw or undercooked shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Health workers are overstretched, and a number have themselves become infected and died. The potentially fatal disease is a so-called "viral haemorrhagic fever", which can affect many organs, and damage the body's blood vessels. But it is difficult to treat. Most people who catch Lassa will have only mild symptoms such as fever, headache and general weakness. They may have none at all. However, in severe cases, it can mimic another deadly haemorrhagic fever, Ebola, causing bleeding through the nose, mouth and other parts of the body.

What their spectrographic study found is that the planet, known as WASP-39b, has a ton of water in its atmosphereâ€”three times the amount that Saturn has. WASP-39b is part of the Virgo constellation. It sits 20 times closer to its star (named WASP-39) than Earth is to the sun. Unlike Earth, it doesn't rotateâ€”only one side of the planet faces the star. That means there are extreme temperatures on WASP-39b, as high as 1,430 degrees Fahrenheit on the star-facing side. The fact that WASP-39b has so much water means that it formed in a very different way than Saturn.

These zoonoses can kill swaths of people and cost billions to contain and prevent from happening again. Most aren't known until they spark deadly emergencies. Scientists only know 263 such viruses that have infected humans. The Global Virome Project estimates that 263,000 unknown viruses in wildlife are capable of infecting people, meaning researchers know of about 0.1 percent of them. The international partnership also estimates the total number of viruses in wildlife is 1.7 million, and that finding all of them would cost about $7 billion.

New cases of black lung had been rare until recently, but this study suggests that the incidence is rising. Anna Allen and Carl Werntz, professors of occupational medicine at West Virginia University who treat miners with black lung, explain what causes this disabling disease. Black lung disease on the rise: Five questions answered What is black lung disease, and what causes it? Underground mining is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Risks include inhaling toxic gases, such as methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide; being crushed by roof falls or mining equipment; drowning when tunnels fill with water; and injury in fires and explosions. Even if miners survive the workplace, they may suffocate to death years later. Surface and underground mining is associated with two pneumoconioses, or dust diseases of the lung. Black lung disease, also known as coal workersâ€™ pneumoconiosis, comes from inhaling coal mine dust. The other disease, silicosis, is caused by inhaling silica dust from crushed rocks. Black lung and silicosis often appear together because coal seams are found between rock layers that contain silica. When miners inhale dust, it deposits along their airways. Their bodies try to remove the dust by sending in special white blood cells called macrophages to engulf and chemically digest it. But the cells are unable to break down the dust, so they die and release enzymes that damage lung tissue. This causes problems that include chronic bronchitis, emphysema and fibrosis (scarring). In progressive massive fibrosis, the most severe version of black lung, scarring causes lung volume to shrink, further damaging adjacent lung tissue and making air exchange even worse. https://www.salon.com/2018/02/24/black-lung-disease-on-the-rise-five-questions-answered_partner/

The study, which analysed data from 522 trials involving 116,477 people, found 21 common anti-depressants were all more effective at reducing symptoms of acute depression than dummy pills. But it also showed big differences in how effective each drug is. The authors of the report, published in the Lancet, said it showed many more people could benefit from the drugs. There were 64.7 million prescriptions for the drugs in England in 2016 - more than double the 31 million in 2006 - but there has been a debate about how effective they are, with some trials suggesting they are no better than placebos.

The fears centre on Dengvaxia, a drug developed by French company Sanofi. Sanofi and local experts say there is no evidence linking the deaths of 14 children to the drug. However, the company had warned last year that the vaccine could make the disease worse in some people not infected before. Dengue fever affects more than 400 million people each year around the world. Dengvaxia is the world's first vaccine against dengue.

Dr. Dan Jernigan reported at the briefing a rise in hospitalization rates from 41.9 per 100,000 last week to 51.4 this week. He said that number may ultimately exceed that of 2014-2015, when there were 710,000 by seasonâ€™s end. Flu hospitalizations are 'the highest we've seen,' CDC says

However, researchers at MIT and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have now managed to isolate and study representatives of these elusive viruses, which provide a key missing link in virus evolution and play an important role in regulating bacterial populations, as a new study reports. Viruses are the main predators of bacteria, and the findings suggest that the current view of bacterial virus diversity has a major blind spot. These conclusions have emerged through detailed analysis of marine samples led by MIT postdoc Kathryn Kauffman, professor of civil and environmental engineering Martin Polz, professor Libusha Kelly of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and nine others. The results are being reported this week in the journal Nature. https://phys.org/news/2018-01-virus-ocean.html

Influenza - including the virulent H3N2 strain - remains widespread across every state except Hawaii, according to a weekly update released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC has tracked reported cases up until Jan. 13. The agency said cases of flu-linked pneumonias and deaths remain above the "epidemic threshold," as the nation's emergency rooms continue to crowd with flu patients. Flu-linked hospitalization rates continue to rise -- from 13.7 per 100,000 people two weeks ago; to 22.7 last week; and to 31.5 per 100,000 people in the latest weekly report. Flu patients over 65 are most prone to needing hospital care, the report finds, but rates are high for people between the ages of 50 and 64. The youngest Americans are also among those at highest risk. Thirty infants or small children have already died from flu this season, with 10 of these tragedies occuring over the latest week of reporting, the CDC said. Severe Flu Cases Just Keep Rising: CDC

Flu is widespread in 46 states, according to reports to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nationally, as of mid-December, at least 106 people had died of the infectious disease. In addition, states across the country are reporting higher-than-average flu-related hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Hospitalization rates are highest among people older than 50 and children younger than 5. In California, which is among the hardest-hit states, the virus struck surprisingly early this season. The stateâ€™s warmer temperatures typically mean people are less confined indoors during the winter months. As a result, flu season usually strikes later than in other regions.

"While a nuclear detonation is unlikely, it would have devastating results and there would be limited time to take critical protection steps. Despite the fear surrounding such an event, planning and preparation can lessen deaths and illness," the notice about the Jan. 16 briefing says on the CDC's website, which features a photo of a mushroom cloud. The notice went on to say that most people don't know that sheltering in place for at least 24 hours is "crucial to saving lives and reducing exposure to radiation." Two of the people presenting at the briefing specialize in radiation studies. Robert Whitcomb is the chief of the radiation studies branch at the CDC's National Center for Environment Health and Capt. Michael Noska is the radiation safety officer and senior advisor for health physics at the Food and Drug Administration.

Often communities do not realize an epidemic is underway until infected individuals swarm hospitals. Advanced warning for impending epidemics could help health workers prepare for the onslaughtâ€”stockpiling rehydration supplies, medicines and vaccinesâ€”which can save lives and quell the diseaseâ€™s spread. Back in May 2017 a team of scientists used satellite information to assess whether an outbreak would occur in Yemen, and they ended up predicting an outburst that spread across the country in June.

Preparing for the holidays, we hit up restaurants, school programs and company gatherings where large crowds gather. And those contacts with lots of people make it open season for coming down with colds, the flu and other nasty germs. As often as we clean our houses and remind our children to wash their hands, none of us are immune to sickness. This past week, my 14-year-old son came home from school with a high fever and a stomach bug. I am afraid of catching any type of illness, so I diligently disinfected all of the sinks, toilets and door handles. Unfortunately, my husband and I both fell victim to the crud. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) promote frequent hand washing. If soap and water are not available, it's recommended that you use a hand sanitizer with an alcohol volume of 60 percent to 95 percent. To avoid getting sick, the CDC recommends that you: -- Get a flu vaccine. Vaccines protect against the viruses that research suggests will be the most common. -- Control germs. Avoid contact with sick people. If you are sick, stay home and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you have a fever, you shouldnâ€™t be around people. Stay home until the fever has broken. -- Take antiviral medicines and vitamins. If you get the flu, prescription antiviral drugs â€” which are different from antibiotics â€” may shorten the length of your illness. Antivirals also may prevent complications from the flu, and help to avoid a hospital stay. A multivitamin and an extra dose of vitamin C may help shorten a viral illness, too. http://qconline.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/holiday-season-brings-more-than-gifts-protect-yourself-from-germs/article_522ff01d-8907-5104-8232-180c4de43692.html

Between Oct. 1 and Nov. 25, 5,070 clinical lab tests were positive for the flu, up from 2,510 in the same period last year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of Americans who have contracted the illness is likely even greater, an agency spokeswoman cautioned, since most people don't go to the doctor and get tested. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/06/flu-cases-double-as-experts-worry-about-flu-shots-effectiveness.html

Last week French drug company Sanofi announced its vaccine could worsen the potentially deadly disease in people not previously infected. The public immunisation programme was suspended on Friday. Dengue fever affects more than 400 million people each year around the world. The mosquito-borne disease is a leading cause of serious illness and death among children in some Asian and Latin American countries, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Sanofi's Dengvaxia is the first-ever approved dengue vaccine. In addition to the Philippines, the company said the vaccine was registered in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Singapore, Thailand and Venezuela. The vaccine has also been used in a public immunisation programme in Brazil which, combined with the Philippines scheme, has to date provided around one million people at least one dose of drug.

Four states currently have widespread flu activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Last winter there were none at this time. And it may be spreading fast. Dr. William Schaffner, who is involved in the CDCâ€™s flu surveillance network in Tennessee, has noticed cases of influenza picking up "dramatically" in the last week. Even worse, it appears the dominant strain will be H3N2, which can produce more severe illness, said Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The findings come from a new analysis of observations made by the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. The formation of a stratosphere layer in a planet's atmosphere is attributed to "sunscreen"-like molecules, which absorb ultraviolet (UV) and visible radiation coming from the star and then release that energy as heat. The new study suggests that the "hot Jupiter" WASP-18b, a massive planet that orbits very close to its host star, has an unusual composition, and the formation of this world might have been quite different from that of Jupiter and gas giants in other planetary systems. Exoplanet has smothering stratosphere without water

(AP) â€” The University of Massachusetts has scheduled a mass meningitis vaccination program at its Amherst campus after federal health officials determined that two recent cases of the disease at the school should be considered an outbreak. UMass is recommending that all undergraduates as well as graduate students living in undergraduate housing get vaccinated at one of four clinics planned for the next week. More than 1,400 students have already been vaccinated. One student was diagnosed with a variant of the disease on Oct. 24, and a second was diagnosed earlier this month. Both are recovering. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that because the two cases originated from a single strain of genetically identical organisms it should be considered an outbreak.

The house fly and the blowfly together harbour more than 600 different bacteria, according to a DNA analysis. Many are linked with human infections, including stomach bugs, blood poisoning and pneumonia. Flies can spread bacteria from place-to-place on their legs, feet and wings, experiments show. In fact, every step taken by a fly can transfer live bacteria, researchers said. ''People had some notion that there were pathogens that were carried by flies but had no idea of the extent to which this is true and the extent to which they are transferred," Prof Donald Bryant of Penn State University, a co-researcher on the study, told BBC News.

The properties of this newly discovered planet - called Ross 128 b - make it a prime target in the search for life elsewhere in the cosmos. At just 11 light-years away, it's the second closest exoplanet of its kind to Earth. But the closest one, known as Proxima b, looks to be less hospitable for life. Found in 2016, it orbits the star Proxima Centauri, which is known to be a rather active "red dwarf" star. This means that powerful eruptions of charged particles periodically batter Proxima b with harmful radiation.

Hernandez hanged himself with a bedsheet. Doctors diagnosed Hernandez with Stage 3 CTE, which researchers had never seen in a brain younger than 46 years old, McKee said. His brain had significant damage to the front lobe, which impacts a personâ€™s ability to make decisions and moderate behavior. edit] By coincidence? this has also appeared.

State health officials say six of 17 people who contracted tuberculosis in Ramsey County have died, three of them as a direct result of the disease. The outbreak has primarily affected elderly residents of the Hmong community. Ten cases have been linked to a senior center. Four other Hmong residents were also infected. "We know we are already seeing more cases than we would have anticipated, and we far outnumber cases in other parts of the country," said Anne Barry, director of the St. Paul-Ramsey Public Health Department.

An analysis of data from the Kepler space telescope has revealed 20 promising worlds that might be able to host life. The list of potential worlds includes several planets that orbit stars like our sun. Some take a relatively long time to complete a single orbit, with the longest taking 395 Earth days and others taking Earth weeks or months. The fastest orbit is 18 Earth days. This is very different to the very short â€œyearsâ€ we see around smaller stars with habitable planets like Proxima Centauri. The exoplanet with a 395-day year is one of the most promising worlds for life on the list, says Jeff Coughlin, a Kepler team lead who helped find the potential planets. Called KOI-7923.01, it is 97 per cent the size of Earth, but a little colder.

For many of us, the flu is a common part of our lives that we deal with when it comes. For some others, it is a big problem that can lead to fatal consequences. What most of us do not consider is the potential for a flu season to become pandemic. Looking at pandemics and deadly flu strains of the past, scientists are using what we know to understand current flu viruses that can become huge threats around the world. One such threat is the H7N9 influenza virus, which scientists are observing with great interest to see if it can become a pandemic strain and how we can stop it from happening.

In addition, the star has had much subtler but longer-term enigmatic dimming trends, with one continuing today. None of this behavior is expected for normal stars slightly more massive than the Sun. Speculations have included the idea that the star swallowed a planet that it is unstable, and a more imaginative theory involves a giant contraption or "megastructure" built by an advanced civilization, which could be harvesting energy from the star and causing its brightness to decrease.

Nancy Reed, 77, died on Sept. 15 after falling in a flooded home earlier in the month in Houston's Kingwood neighborhood, the Harris County medical examiner said this week. She contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a skin infection that kills the body's soft tissue, through a wound she got from the fall, Houston Health Department spokesman Porfirio Villarreal said Thursday. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare disease caused by various types of bacteria, most commonly group A strep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While infections from group A strep are generally mild, in the case of necrotizing fasciitis, the bacteria spread quickly and can become deadly in a short period of time without prompt treatment.

The test accurately diagnoses Zika and dengue and can tell the two mosquito-borne viruses apart, an area in which commercially available tests now stumble, said senior researcher Lee Gehrke, a professor with the MIT Institute for Medical Engineering and Science. "In light of the problems with Zika virus causing microcephaly [a genetic abnormality resulting in a smaller-than-normal head] and other defects in babies born to infected mothers, it's very important a pregnant woman would know if her fever is caused by Zika virus or dengue virus," said Gehrke, who's also a professor at Harvard Medical School.

In 2016, there were just more than 2 million new diagnoses for the three notifiable STDs for which there are federally funded control programs. Chlamydia diagnoses made up the majority of those, with 1,598,354 new cases (497.3 cases per 100,000 population), which was a 4.7% increase over 2015. Gonorrhea diagnoses followed, with 468,514 diagnoses, and primary and secondary syphilis, the most infectious stages of the disease, at 27,814 cases.

This dangerous form of the malaria parasite cannot be killed with the main anti-malaria drugs. It emerged in Cambodia but has since spread through parts of Thailand, Laos and has arrived in southern Vietnam. The team at the Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit in Bangkok said there was a real danger of malaria becoming untreatable. Prof Arjen Dondorp, the head of the unit, told the BBC News website: "We think it is a serious threat. "It is alarming that this strain is spreading so quickly through the whole region and we fear it can spread further [and eventually] jump to Africa."

The two mosquito species can transmit viruses that cause Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever. The new study, which analyzed existing county-level records of mosquito presence to model a more complete potential range, shows suitability for Ae. aegypti in 71 percent of counties, in a range that covers much of the eastern United States south of the Great Lakes, as well as parts of several southwestern states. The study deemed about 75 percent of counties suitable for Ae. albopictus, in a range that reaches further into the northeast but is more limited in the southwest. Predictive models generated the updated maps using mosquito records from individual counties published earlier this year. The maps are published in a new report in the Journal of Medical Entomology.

The newly found alien worlds circle the nearby star GJ 9827 and were classified as "super-Earths." The finding is presented in a paper published Sept. 6 on arXiv.org. Kepler is the most prolific planet-hunting telescope. The spacecraft has discovered more than 2,300 exoplanets to date. After the failure of its two reaction wheels in 2013, the mission was repurposed as K2 to perform high-precision photometry of selected fields in the ecliptic.

If I asked if you'd heard of the Zika virus before 2015, chances are the answer would be no. In fact, many scientists working in the field of mosquito-transmitted diseases probably wouldn't have heard of it. If they had, it would have been regarded as something obscure from the history books. First discovered in Uganda in the late 1940s, documented infections were rare until 2007 when the first large outbreak in humans occurred on the Pacific Island of Yap in Micronesia. The team of scientists involved in the initial discovery included the University of Glasgow's Professor Alexander John Haddow, and the university's archives hold 25 years of Haddow's data which is now being meticulously catalogued as part of project funded by the Wellcome Trust. Further Zika virus outbreaks occurred during 2013-2014 on other Pacific islands â€“ French Polynesia, Easter Island, the Cook Islands and New Caledonia â€“ before it reached the Americas in 2015. What exactly led to this explosive outbreak is still not completely understood, but the virus suddenly became a very real health concern requiring urgent research.

Early theories include primordial black holes, colliding neutron stars, and even some idle talk about extraterrestrial civilizations, though aliens are not an explanation thatâ€™s generally taken seriously. â€œWe agree with the majority of the astronomical community that the likelihood of ET being involved in this source is low, but the source is nevertheless very mysterious,â€ Siemion says. â€œWe know, without a doubt, that the universe is capable of giving rise to technologically capable life. We would be remiss as scientists to exclude this possibility a priori.â€ Now, more serious investigations are focused on magnetars, the extremely magnetic, fantastically dense corpses of exploded stars. These rotating neutron stars launch humongous flares into the cosmos, but whether those flares are somehow linked to the barrage of radio waves is still a mystery. Itâ€™s also possible that FRB 121102 is so active it could have exhausted the total magnetic energy in a magnetar, Law says. â€œThat is a stupendous amount of energy being emitted.â€ http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/09/radio-bursts-galaxy-space-breakthrough-listen-science/ 3 billion light years away???

The North fired several "unidentified projectiles" from the vicinity Gitdaeryong in Gangwon Province at around 6:49 a.m., said the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). Those flew more than 250 kilometers in the northeastern direction, it added. South Korea and U.S. militaries are analyzing additional information. The North's move was immediately reported to President Moon Jae-in, added the JCS. http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/northkorea/2017/08/26/0401000000AEN20170826000651315.html edited to add link

The organisation had studied the eating habits of 60 people infected with the virus and found that many ate sausage and ham from the same supermarket. Public Health England and the Food Standards Agency originally decided not to name the store because it was not to blame for the tainted pork, which was imported from the EU.

The confirmed case of the H3N2V influenza was found in a child who was exposed to pigs at the State Fair in July. That child was hospitalized, but recovered and has since been released. Most cases of this variant influenza occur during summer months in people who had contact with pigs. Even though a child contracted the illness, experts say getting variant flu is highly unlikely. â€œHuman to human transmission of this strain happens extremely rarely and tends to happen when people are very close contact like a caregiver.

The four planets are the closest Earth-like worlds yet discovered. And at just 1.7 Earth masses, they're also the smallest nearby Earth-like planets. Astronomers detected the presence of the four exoplanets by analyzing slight wobbles in the movement of tau Ceti, the closest known sun-like star. Tau Ceti's wobbles are incredibly subtle, and required instruments capable of measuring deviations as small as 30 centimeters per second.

The number of people infected with the disease during the country's civil war has already reached more than 430,000. Malnourished children are at least three times more likely to die if they are infected with cholera. It is because their immune systems are weakened and they become less capable of fighting off the water-borne disease.

The highly infectious virus was no longer constantly present in the countryâ€”no longer endemic. Since then, measles has only popped up when travelers carried it in, spurring mostly small outbreaksâ€”ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred cases each yearâ€”that then fizzle out. But all that may be about to change. With the rise of non-medical vaccine exemptions and delays, the country is backsliding toward endemic measles, Stanford and Baylor College of Medicine researchers warn this week.

Two types of mosquitoes are the primary transmitters of Zika, dengue, yellow fever and chikungunya viruses. Based on updated data collected through 2016, research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 38 additional counties -- primarily in Texas but as far north as Illinois -- documented the presence of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, Zika's main vector. That's an increase of 21 percent compared to an earlier 2016 survey.

Initially announced on May 12 in Likati, a remote town in the Bas-UÃ©lÃ© province close to the Central African Republic border, the outbreak resulted in a total of eight casesâ€”with four of those patients dying. While it has declared the outbreak over, WHO says â€œenhanced surveillanceâ€ will continue in the country. The period of 42 days without a new case is significant because it means that two 21-day incubation cycles of the virus have passed.

Culling data collected during the first four years of Keplerâ€™s mission, researchers used computers to pick out and analyze signals from stars that could be have caused by nearby planets.

2628) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Asteroids & Comets (Message 1874458) Posted 22 Jun 2017 by Lynn Post: Could asteroids bombard the Earth to cause a mass extinction in 10 million years? Scientists have spent decades debating whether asteroids and comets hit the Earth at regular intervals. At the same time, a few studies have found evidence that the large extinction events on Earth â€“ such as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 66m years ago â€“ repeat themselves every 26m to 30m years. Given that there's good evidence that an asteroid triggered the dinosaur extinction, it makes sense to ask whether showers of asteroids could be to blame for regular extinction events. The question is extremely important â€“ if we could prove that this is the case, then we might be able to predict and even prevent asteroids causing mass extinctions in the future. We have tried to find out the answer. Is our time here on earth up??

Just three changes could be enough to do the trick, scientists report in the journal PLOS Pathogens. And the news comes just as federal officials are getting ready to lift a moratorium on controversial lab experiments that would deliberately create flu viruses with mutations like these.

The World Health Organization said there was a high risk the disease would spread. Polio is a potentially deadly infection mainly affecting young people and can result in permanent paralysis. It had been pushed back to just three countries until an outbreak was last week confirmed in Syria. These are the first cases in DR Congo since 2012. Africa Live: Updates on this and other African stories "WHO assesses the risk of further national spread of these strains to be high, and the risk of international spread to be medium," the WHO stated in its disease outbreak report.

Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone were the most hit by the disease and they recorded high mortality rates due to Ebola. According to a report released by the World Health Organisation (WHO), about 28,637 cases of Ebola were reported worldwide by January 2016 and 11,315 deaths were confirmed, with the vast majority of the deaths taking place in the three countries. Not only did the Western region suffer from loss of lives, socio-economic activities in that part of Africa were also disrupted. It was only on June 9 last year that the disease was declared officially over. Understandably, news of the disease breaking out in the neighbouring country, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has put the Zambian government on high alert to avoid a repeat of the West African epidemic.

Finally! The Galaxyâ€™s Most Mysterious Star Is Dipping Tabby's star, otherwise known as the most mysterious star in the galaxy, is dipping drastically in brightness, giving astronomers an opportunity to figure out what has been causing this star's weird behavior. Ever since the Kepler space telescope captured a series of random-seeming dips from a certain mysterious star, astronomers and the public alike have been baffled by its behavior. Then, following the end of the main Kepler mission, the star went quiet. Now, at long last, the star has begun a steep decline in brightness â€” itâ€™s already 2% dimmer after a single night of observation â€” and telescopes all over the world are at the ready. For the first time, astronomers are catching Tabby's star in the act, and that means the mystery of what causes the star to dip and dim in brightness may soon be solved.

This raised the total number of cases to 19, with 3 deaths likely caused by the deadly disease. In a situation report, the WHO's African regional office provided more details on the presumed index patient: a 39-year-old man who died en route to the Likati Health Center on Apr 22. His motorcycle taxi driver subsequently died on Apr 26 after developing Ebola symptoms on Apr 24. As of yesterday, the WHO said the case-fatality rate is 15.8%. The cases reported are from three areas in northern DRC: Nambwa (10 cases and 2 deaths), Mouma (3 cases and 1 death), and Ngay (6 cases and no death). A total of 125 contacts of the 19 suspected cases have been identified and are being followed daily. The external report said there are six patients currently hospitalized, and that WHO and local health officials were working to disinfect materials and homes of patients and put in place safe burial practices. Where are the vaccines?

The paper, published in The BMJ, builds on a previous body of work linking these drugs to heart problems. This research suggests the risk could be greatest in the first 30 days of taking the drugs. But scientists say the findings are not clear cut. They say other factors - not just the pills - could be involved. In the study an international team of scientists analysed data from 446,763 people to try to understand when heart problems might arise. They focused on people prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, celecoxib and naproxen) by doctors rather than those who bought the painkillers over the counter.

The newly found planets are estimated to be as massive as Saturn and are orbiting M dwarfs beyond the snow line. The findings were presented May 2 in a paper published online on the arXiv pre-print server. The planets were discovered by researchers working as part of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) group and the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration. OGLE uses the 1.3-m Warsaw Telescope located at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, while MOA utilizes the 1.8-m MOA-II telescope at the Mount John University Observatory, located in New Zealand. The main goal of these two microlensing surveys is to study the planet formation around late-type stars.

Medical experts say the fungus has been found on the skin and clothing of patients and hospital workers and can move from one person to another in hospitals, unlike other invasive yeast infections. Outbreaks are possible in medical facilities because the fungus can live on contaminated objects such as bedrails, chairs and other equipment, and on the hands of health care providers.

The port call by the USS Michigan came as a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group steams for Korean waters and as the top nuclear envoys from South Korea, Japan, and the United States met in Tokyo to discuss the North's refusal to give up its nuclear program. Fears have risen in recent weeks that North Korea could soon conduct another nuclear test or long-range missile launch in defiance of United Nations sanctions. South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported that the North appeared to have deployed a large number of long-range artillery units in the region of Wonsan on its east coast on Tuesday, conducting a large-scale, live-fire drill. The report, citing an unidentified government source, said the live-fire exercise was possibly supervised by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Over the next decade, the ambitious project aims to search the 1 million stars closest to the sun, the 100 galaxies closest to our own Milky Way, and the galactic plane for possible signals of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Breakthrough Listen scientists are starting with an initial target list of 1,709 stars, which the team is observing with three telescopes: the 330-foot GBT radio dish, the 210-foot-wide Parkes radio telescope in Australia and the Automated Planet Finder, a 7.9-foot optical telescope at the Lick Observatory in California. "This sample of stars is designed to be what we call 'spectral type complete' â€” it samples stars of every spectral type," Siemion said. "We want to look at as many different types of stars as possible, to leave ourselves open to any possibility that life might emerge [around] one of these stars." The newly announced results, which the team submitted to The Astrophysical Journal on Thursday, are based on GBT data for 692 of those 1,709 stars. The telescope made about 5,000 individual 5-minute observations, racking up a total of 400 observing hours, Siemion said. Those observations targeted a band of frequencies that includes the "water hole," a quiet part of the radio spectrum that SETI scientists have long speculated would be a good window for interstellar communication. The water hole lies between the emission band of hydroxyl molecules (OH) and that of hydrogen. Together, hydroxyl and hydrogen form water â€” hence the name. "These results represent the most comprehensive and fundamental test of the water-hole hypothesis that's ever been conducted for nearby stars," Siemion said. "This is a classic idea in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence that's been with us for more than four decades." Breakthrough Listen is part of the Breakthrough Initiatives, which Milner founded in 2015 to look for evidence of life beyond Earth and help spur space exploration. Another program under this umbrella is Breakthrough Starshot , which aims to develop a system that can blast tiny, sail-equipped nanoprobes to other star systems at 20 percent the speed of light using powerful lasers.

The severe respiratory illness is known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, or HPS. In the United States, most of these cases are spread by deer mice, which live in woodland areas and deserts and are found throughout North America. People get the disease by breathing in hantavirus when dust from dried rodent urine, saliva and droppings is stirred up in the air, which can happen in houses, garages and cabins, especially while cleaning. People can also get it by touching mouse urine, droppings or nesting materials that contain the virus, and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth.

Their findings, published recently in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, reveal seasonal and regional patterns that could help public health officials decide when and where to target Ebola disease surveillance most effectively. The model predicts that the risk of a spillover in Central Africa, where most Ebola cases have occurred, remains relatively steady throughout the year. It also predicts that spillovers are possible in West and East Africa, with the level of risk varying depending on the season; in both areas, a spillover is most likely during transitions between dry and rainy periods. Above: Maps show shifts in the geographic pattern of Ebola spillover inensity from month to month.

It was a spark in the night. A flash of X-rays from a galaxy hovering nearly invisibly on the edge of infinity. Astronomers say they do not know what caused it. The orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, was in the midst of a 75-day survey of a patch of sky known as the Chandra Deep Field-South, when it recorded the burst from a formerly quiescent spot in the cosmos. For a few brief hours on Oct 1, 2014, the X-rays were a thousand times brighter than all the light from its home galaxy, a dwarf unremarkable speck almost 11 billion light years from here, in the constellation Fornax. Then whatever had gone bump in the night was over and the X-rays died. article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/31/science/x-ray-burst-outer-space.html

The fibre-optic tube can show within 60 seconds whether a patient needs to be treated with the drugs. It is hoped the Proteus technology could tackle the emergence of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. The project has been developed by scientists at the universities of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt and Bath. Proteus has received Â£2m of funding from the Wellcome Trust. It will also be boosted by nearly Â£1m from the CARB-X antibiotic resistance project co-funded by the US government and Wellcome.

Global tuberculosis interventions are usually tied to larger HIV/AIDS programs. As such, billions of dollars are spent every year improving medical care for people living with HIV and fighting the opportunistic infectionsâ€”foremost, tuberculosisâ€”that continue to kill so many AIDS patients.

The WHO calls it a list of "priority pathogens" because the bacteria have developed resistance to key antibiotic drugs. And that is making health care more complicated, as doctors are forced to try one drug after another to treat hospital-acquired infections. A study in The Lancet warns superbugs are already causing many post surgical infections which is making routine surgery more dangerous. There are predictions that without effective antibiotics, much of modern health care would be in jeopardy, including cancer chemotherapy, births by cesarean section, and organ transplantation. With this list, the WHO is again raising the alarm over the growing health threat created by the rise of bacteria resistant to multiple drugs. The list is intended to help guide research and development by identifying the most serious threats, the ones that most urgently need new drugs.

Mosquitoes prefer biting people already sickened by malaria, apparently attracted by some kind of odor. Now, Swedish researchers say theyâ€™ve identified a substance pumped out by malaria parasites that triggers that smell, noticeable only to mosquitoes.

The habitable zone is the area surrounding a star in which liquid water can exist on an orbiting exoplanet, thus presenting the possibility for life. The zone's dimensions are defined by the size and strength of the star. An exoplanet in the habitable zone is far enough from its sun that water isn't boiled away, but close enough that it isn't perpetually frozen. Lot's of red dwarf 's out in the universe.

Aiming to strengthen detection, diagnosis and treatment of TB in the South American country, the funds will focus on TB/HIV co-infections, drug resistant TB, and TB in Bolivian prison populations. Bolivia, with an estimated total population of 10.5 million inhabitants, had the third highest TB rate in the Latin America and Caribbean region in 2014. Despite major advances in reducing TB rates in Bolivia, a significant number of cases go undiagnosed. According to the World Health Organization, there were an estimated 13,000 new cases of TB in 2015 yet only 7,893 were diagnosed or notified. The grant will help the government of Bolivia strengthen TB surveillance systems, introduce rapid diagnosis technology, and improve capacity to diagnose, test and successfully treat drug-resistant TB.

Of the school-age children infected in this outbreak, 87 percent were up to date on their mumps vaccinations, Throne said today, but lower vaccination rates among school-age children in general may be contributing to the growth of the outbreak.

So when astronomers announce that theyâ€™ve discovered a planet thatâ€™s a whopping 66 percent more massive than Jupiter, you have an idea of just how huge that is.

That doesnâ€™t mean concern over Zika is over, but now that a link between Zika and microcephaly has been established, it is viewed as a long-term problem, which requires constant attention. While researchers have concluded that Zika infection can cause microcephaly and other birth defects such as eye damage in newborns, there are still many unanswered questions about the virus. This article was originally published on The Conversation.

Along the way, they are measuring the interstellar medium, the mysterious environment between stars. NASAâ€™s Hubble Space Telescope is providing the road map â€“ by measuring the material along the probesâ€™ future trajectories. Even after the Voyagers run out of electrical power and are unable to send back new data, which may happen in about a decade, astronomers can use Hubble observations to characterize the environment of through which these silent ambassadors will glide. A preliminary analysis of the Hubble observations reveals a rich, complex interstellar ecology, containing multiple clouds of hydrogen laced with other elements. Hubble data, combined with the Voyagers, have also provided new insights into how our sun travels through interstellar space.

CDC scientists apparently lost a box of deadly and highly-regulated influenza specimens and experienced multiple other potential exposures involving viruses and bacteria, according to heavily-redacted laboratory incident reports obtained by USA TODAY. Several reports involve failures of safety equipment.

"We get vaccinated for it; it just sounds like something that nobody gets. So I just didn't think that it was possible that I would get it."

But several factors, including specific climatic conditions, could have catapulted the disease to public health emergency status, according to researchers from the University of Liverpool.

Meanwhile, the region's high rate of unvaccinated schoolchildren compared with the rest of the state doesn't appear to be a factor in the unusual size of the outbreak, said Nate Smith, director of the state Department of Health. Despite making up a small fraction of the region's total population, Marshall Islanders account for about 60 percent of the 2,220 people who had been infected as of Friday in the outbreak that started in August, according to figures Smith presented to the state House and Senate's committees on public health, welfare and labor during a joint meeting on Monday.

Examples: Men are five times as likely to develop cancer from HPV as women, twice as likely to develop Hodgkin's lymphoma from the Epstein-Barr virus, and 1.5 times as likely to die of tuberculosis, per New Scientist. Scientists puzzling over why have suggested that women could have stronger immune systems, which would make sense from an evolutionary perspective given the importance of being able to bring offspring to term and nurse them through infancy.

Yet in the past several years increasing numbers of college students and others have started getting mumps againâ€”and 2016 marks the biggest spike in a decade. Seven states (Arkansas, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Oklahoma) have each reported more than 100 cases this year. As of December 3 there have been more than 4,000 cases across 46 states and the District of Columbia, with about half occurring in Arkansas in a variety of schools, workplaces and colleges. By comparison, in 2010 there were 2,612 cases reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and in 2012 there were 229. _________________________________________________________ Mumps outbreak reaches Seattle The mumps outbreak in King County, up to 83 confirmed and probable cases, has moved into Seattle, where one case has been reported.

They have tuned the big telescope at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia to listen for signals from an object in space called Tabbyâ€™s Star, whose implausible behavior is puzzling astronomers all over the world. That star might conceivably be a sign that some civilization far more advanced than our own is, or has been, building some kind of giant structure far off in the Milky Way, they say. The Berkeley team has also mobilized a second huge telescope in Australia to search for E.T. signals from another unique star â€” the closest of all the stars to Earth, just a few trillion miles away.

Experiments showed a dose of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus acted like a "living antibiotic" to help clear an otherwise lethal infection. The animal studies, published in Current Biology, suggested there would be no side effects. Experts said the approach was unusual, but should not be overlooked. Fear of an antibiotic apocalypse, caused by growing levels of bacteria resisting the drugs, has led to scientists trying other approaches. Bdellovibrio is a fast-swimming bacterium that works its way inside other bacteria where it devours its hosts' insides and swells in size. Deadly dose Once it has finished feeding it replicates and bursts out of its now dead host. The team at Imperial College London and the University of Nottingham tried using Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus to kill a common cause of food poisoning. Shigella bacteria make 160 million people ill each year, and more than a million die, largely through contaminated food. Tests in a laboratory dish showed the predatory bacteria caused the population of superbug Shigella to collapse 4,000-fold. Further tests in fish larvae showed a deadly dose of the superbug led to only 25% surviving for three days. more..

This represents the highest number of reported cases in any state to date, and underscores the importance of health care systems preparing to care for patients with possible Zika virus disease.[1] Building upon a framework that was established in 2014 to screen patients for possible exposure to Ebola virus disease (Ebola), NYC Health + Hospitals,* the largest municipal health care delivery system in the United States, implemented a Zika Preparedness and Response Action Planâ€ (Zika Action Plan) to address the threat from Zika and ensure appropriate patient care. The plan developed by NYC Health + Hospitals includes universal travel screening, signage depicting areas with active Zika virus transmission, clinical and epidemiologic evaluation for possible Zika virus exposure, diagnostic testing for Zika virus infection and linking of infected patients to appropriate specialists, and education on Zika virus disease and preventive measures (e.g., avoiding travel to areas with active Zika virus transmission).

A candidate losing might mean things would be less good, for a time, but they would be good, nonetheless. Ultimately, they would tend to get better. This faith in America and its leadersâ€”and in Americansâ€”helped me and, I believe, most Americans have hope that we would find the right path, as a people and as a nation. But, now, with our politics so polarized, and our parties embracing such different principles, I believe millions and millions of Americans will greet the election of a presidential candidate they do not favor as a sign that the country does not speak to them or for them.

Determined to disprove that dismal prediction, â€œhe and my mother tied an iron to his leg where the rope would never touch the ground, and he lifted his leg little by little every day until he could walk again,â€ Germ, the 2016-2017 president of Rotary International, said at a live media briefing on World Polio Day. â€œHe walked with a limp. He didnâ€™t give up.â€ Joining the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the humanitarian organization co-hosted the briefing at CDC on Oct. 24 to stress the significance of obliterating polio despite recent setbacks. New cases in Nigeria demonstrate the persistence of polio, particularly in insecure areas, and they underscore the need to improve tracking of the disease. The virus has been spreading in inaccessible areas of Bornoâ€”a state in northeastern Nigeriaâ€”for about five years before it was detected, said Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, director of the CDC.

Doctors in Cambodia reported the complete failure of artemisinin and piperaquine - the key drugs taken to kill malaria - this year. The discovery of resistance markers, reported in the Lancet, will allow scientists to track the threat. Experts said the study was a big step forward. Artemisinin resistance has been known about for years, but a recent rise in resistance to piperaquine as well means the main malaria treatment, taking both together, is starting to fail. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-37859264

There in the constellation Cygnus the Swan, youâ€™ll find a dim, ordinary-looking point of light with an innocent sounding name â€” Tabbyâ€™s Star. Named for Louisiana State University astronomer Tabetha Boyajian, who was the lead author on a paper about its behavior, this star has so confounded astronomers with its unpredictable ups and downs in its brightness, theyâ€™ve gone to war on the object, drilling down on it with everything from the Hubble to the monster 393.7-inch (10-meter) Keck Telescope in Hawaii. Tabbyâ€™s Star was uncovered by the Kepler Space Telescope during its examination of of more than 150,000 stars in the Milky Way. Kepler sought out stars accompanied by planets. By recording tiny, repeating fading of the starâ€™s light as a planet passes in front a star, astronomers could determine the planetâ€™s size, orbit and much more.

Tabby's Star has been a subject of attention and controversy over its irregular dimming pattern. Some scientists have been puzzled by large dips in the star's brightness. Hawking backs new search for aliens One of the most favoured explanations for this behaviour is that a swarm of comet fragments is periodically blocking light from the star, which also known by its official designation - KIC 8462852. One very remote and speculative idea - yet one that has attracted much attention in the media - is that the pattern is caused by some kind of artificial structure, or a collection of structures, around the star.

With polio on the brink of eradication globally, the WHO wants to see a worldwide switch from the traditional "live" oral polio vaccine, which runs the risk of spreading the disease, to an inactivated vaccine that needs to be injected. But WHO's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE), which meets twice a year, said a severe shortage of inactivated vaccine means many countries should use a fractional dose, via an intra-dermal rather than intra-muscular injection, allowing each dose to go twice as far.

Breakthrough Listen Project will follow up on possible Alien laser beacon detections but think it is most likely instrument or analysis error It is too early to unequivocally attribute these purported signals to the activities of extraterrestrial civilizations. Internationally agreed-upon protocols for searches for evidence of advanced life beyond Earth (SETI) require candidates to be confirmed by independent groups using their own telescopes, and for all natural explanations to be exhausted before invoking extraterrestrial agents as an explanation. Careful work must be undertaken to determine false positive rates, to rule out natural and instrumental explanations, and most importantly, to confirm detections using two or more independent telescopes. Peaks in Fourier analysis of stellar spectra, such as those discussed by Borra and Trottier, can be caused by instrumental optics or introduced during data reduction. Data artifacts, fringing, and inconsistencies in the manufacture of detectors are known to users of high resolution spectrographs to cause minute patterns to appear in the resulting spectra. The movement of the telescope, variations in observing conditions, and the process of wavelength calibration can easily introduce undesired signals at levels that are only barely detectable. It is therefore important to check the claimed signal using a different telescope and instrument.

In its annual report on tackling TB, a highly contagious lung disease which kills more people each year than HIV and malaria combined, the WHO said progress had been dismal and called for "bold political commitment and increased funding". Without it, the world would continue to chase the epidemic rather than get on top of it, it said.

The Ebola epidemic killed more than 11,000 people and made more than 28,000 sick between 2014 and 2016. The drug, considered â€œmost promising,â€ was still in the testing phases at the time. But because it was an emergency, doctors got special permission to use it on their patients, including some treated in the United States. The drug had showed real promise in tests on primates, but it hadnâ€™t been fully tested on humans. Many of the infected people who got it did recover, but even at the time, doctors werenâ€™t able to tell whether it was ZMapp that helped them survive while thousands of others died. Now, according to a study in the latest edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, the results of a randomized controlled trial may come as a surprise to some. Researchers tested the drug in 72 people from Africa and the United States who had Ebola infections. They found that although it was beneficial overall, ZMapp â€œdid not meet the prespecified statistical threshold for efficacy.â€

3509) Message boards : Politics : Ebola and Infectious diseases, Food and Drugs, Recalls #4 (Message 1823422) Posted 10 Oct 2016 by Lynn Post: If Patient in the Hospital Bed Before You Got Antibiotics -- Take Heed MONDAY, Oct. 10, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- When a hospital patient is taking antibiotics, the next person to use the same bed may face an elevated risk of infection with the dangerous germ Clostridium difficile, a new study suggests. C. difficile, a bacterium that causes inflammation of the colon and causes life-threatening diarrhea, is found in U.S. hospitals. Scientists have known that antibiotic use can contribute to the germ's spread, but this new report says it's not just the patient taking the medication who's at risk. Because the germ spores can persist, patients later assigned to the same hospital bed may have increased odds of getting C. difficile, researchers found. "This study provides evidence that there is a herd effect with antibiotics," said lead researcher Dr. Daniel Freedberg, a gastroenterologist at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. "In other words, antibiotics have the potential to affect the health of people who don't themselves receive antibiotics." A doctor who wasn't involved in the study said the findings suggest a need to improve sterilization procedures in hospitals. "This underscores the idea that hospitals are not being sanitized enough or they can't be sanitized enough," said Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. "There is an increased need for increased sterilization procedures between patients." According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, C. difficile causes nearly half a million infections a year in the United States and 29,000 deaths. Older adults are most at risk. In this study, researchers found that if the previous patient in the hospital bed was given antibiotics (not for C. difficile), the odds of C. difficile infection in the next patient were nearly 1 percent, compared with less than half of 1 percent if no antibiotics were given. "Antibiotics encourage the spread of C. difficile from patients who asymptomatically carry C. difficile to patients who are C. difficile-free, even if the C. difficile-free patients do not receive any antibiotics," Freedberg said. In patients infected by C. difficile, antibiotics may cause the germ to proliferate and add to the number of its spores shed nearby. C. difficile spores can thrive in the environment for months, the researchers noted. In addition, antibiotics may affect good bacteria living in the gut that protect against C. difficile, Freedberg said. The new report, published online Oct. 10 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, emphasized the need to use antibiotics judiciously. To evaluate the risk of getting C. difficile from a hospital bed in which the prior patient had received antibiotics, Freedberg's team studied more than 100,600 patient pairs. All were in one of four New York-area hospitals from 2010 to 2015. New patients had to have spent 48 hours in a bed in which the last patient spent at least a day and had left the bed less than a week before the next occupant. The suspected connection was borne out in 576 pairs. In those cases, the later patient developed C. difficile within two to 14 days after occupying the bed, the researchers found. Average time to infection was around six days. And these newly infected patients were more likely to have the usual C. difficile risk factors -- older age, increased levels of the waste protein creatinine, decreased levels of the protein albumin, and past use of antibiotics. The risk of C. difficile was 0.72 percent when the prior occupant of the hospital bed received antibiotics, compared with 0.43 percent when the prior occupant of the bed did not receive antibiotics, the researchers found. The association was small, and the study doesn't establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship. But apart from antibiotics, no other factors related to the prior bed occupants were associated with increased risk for C. difficile in subsequent patients. That remained the case after excluding nearly 1,500 patient pairs in which the prior patient recently had C. difficile, according to the study. "I don't find this surprising. We knew that antibiotic use increases the risk of C. difficile," said Siegel. It's another way that antibiotics aren't harmless, Siegel said. When you make the decision to give antibiotics, "you have to keep in mind that you may be letting loose a germ that is in itself an infectious risk to the hospital," he said.

It is the first time in South East Asia that the disease has been linked to the condition, which causes abnormally small brains and heads. Several countries in the region have reported Zika cases. The virus is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito which also spreads dengue and chikungunya. The current outbreak of the disease was first detected in Brazil last year. Cases have recently been reported across South East Asia.

Some of the patients were identified to have dapsone-resistant Mycobacterium leprae, as well as a single case demonstrating rifampicin resistance [1]. This finding is significant because while the prevalence of leprosy has declined greatly, there are still approximately 200,000 new cases of leprosy reported globally each year [1]. The emerging threat of drug-resistant leprosy infection could pose a serious public health risk if left unaddressed. Leprosy is a curable infectious disease that primarily affects the peripheral nerves, skin, upper respiratory tract, eyes, and nasal mucosa. This disease is caused by a slow-growing bacterium known as Myobacterium leprae, which has an incubation period of approximately five years [2, 5]. Leprosy causes discoloration and lumps on the skin, and, if not treated early, can cause disfigurement and deformities [5]. Leprosy is typically found in tropical areas of Africa and Asia.

The plague of 1665-1666 was the last major outbreak of bubonic plague in Britain, killing nearly a quarter of London's population. It's taken a year to confirm initial findings from a suspected Great Plague burial pit during excavation work on the Crossrail site at Liverpool Street. About 3,500 burials have been uncovered during excavation of the site. Testing in Germany confirmed the presence of DNA from the Yersinia pestis bacterium - the agent that causes bubonic plague - rather than another pathogen. Some authors have previously questioned the identity of microbes behind historical outbreaks attributed to plague. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-37287715

The tropical disease, which kills at least 140,000 people a year in the Asia-Pacific region, has been confirmed in a cluster of cases on a large island off Chile, some 12,000 kilometers from its usual haunts on the other side of the Pacific. Scrub typhus has been known of for years and the bacteria that causes it was first identified in Japan in 1930. It is caused by the bacteria, Orientia tsutsugamushi, transmitted by chiggers, and spreads through the lymphatic fluid. Those infected find the illness can begin quite suddenly, with shaking chills, fever, severe headache, infection of the mucous membrane in the eyes, and lymph node swelling.

There, Iâ€™ve said it. Now letâ€™s move on because no Donald Trump-esque wall or Brexiteer is going to keep TB out. Perhaps we should ban all migration? Quite frankly that is a ridiculous notion; one that someone with even the most isolationist of stances would struggle to justify. Some might argue that we could extend our current TB screening policy (people wishing to move here from countries where TB is common are checked pre-entry) to incorporate testing and treatment for the silent or latent form of the disease, but this would not cover the millions of people who come to the UK for up to six months on a tourist visa. Not to mention the ethical considerations. In any case, there is currently no effective way to treat the latent form of multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). So, to my mind, there really is just one choice â€“ we must tackle TB on a global scale and that means overseas investment.

The images show storm systems and weather activity unlike anything previously seen on any of our solar systemâ€™s gas-giant planets. Juno successfully executed the first of 36 orbital flybys on Aug. 27 when the spacecraft came about 2,500 miles (4,200 kilometers) above Jupiterâ€™s swirling clouds. The download of six megabytes of data collected during the six-hour transit, from above Jupiterâ€™s north pole to below its south pole, took one-and-a-half days. While analysis of this first data collection is ongoing, some unique discoveries have already made themselves visible. This image from NASA's Juno spacecraft provides a never-before-seen perspective on Jupiter's south pole. The JunoCam instrument acquired the view on August 27, 2016, when the spacecraft was about 58,700 miles (94,500 kilometers) above the polar region. At this point, the spacecraft was about an hour past its closest approach, and fine detail in the south polar region is clearly resolved. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/jupiter-s-north-pole-unlike-anything-encountered-in-solar-system

Viruses - unlike bacteria or parasites - are completely dependent on hijacking the machinery inside cells in order to replicate.

Asteroid strike could cause 'immense suffering' A huge asteroid hurtling through space at 63,000mph could one day hit Earth causing "immense suffering and death", astronomers say. The space rock was discovered in 1999 and is likely to blast in between the Earth and the moon in 2135 - a little too close for comfort. But on a return trip later in the century, it is estimated the asteroid known as 101955 Bennu could actually strike our planet. Dante Lauretta, the NASA expert in charge of a new mission to analyse the asteroid, said: "That 2135 fly-by is going to tweak Bennu's orbit, potentially putting it on course for the Earth later that century." http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2016/08/01/asteroid-strike-could-cause-immense-suffering.html?intcmp=hpffo&intcmp=obnetwork

Supermassive black holes in the universe are like a raucous choir singing in the language of X-rays. When black holes pull in surrounding matter, they let out powerful X-ray bursts. This song of X-rays, coming from a chorus of millions of black holes, fills the entire sky -- a phenomenon astronomers call the cosmic X-ray background. NASA's Chandra mission has managed to pinpoint many of the so-called active black holes contributing to this X-ray background, but the ones that let out high-energy X-rays -- those with the highest-pitched "voices" -- have remained elusive.

The planets, all between 20 and 50 percent larger than Earth by diameter, are orbiting the M dwarf star K2-72, found 181 light years away in the direction of the Aquarius constellation. The host star is less than half the size of the sun and less bright. The planetsâ€™ orbital periods range from five and a half to 24 days, and two of them may experience irradiation levels from their star comparable to those on Earth. Despite their tight orbits â€” closer than Mercury's orbit around the sun â€” the possibility that life could arise on a planet around such a star cannot be ruled out, according to lead author Crossfield, a Sagan Fellow at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/kepler/nasa-s-kepler-confirms-100-exoplanets-during-its-k2-mission Update.

And unfortunately for all of us, the dense cities and sprawling suburbs of modern development are all-too-vulnerable to the rapid, viral spread of a contagion, as numerous flawed laboratories seem ready to fail and unleash something unspeakable. http://freedomoutpost.com/cdc-covered-up-catastrophic-failures-at-level-4-biosafety-labs-containing-ebola-and-smallpox/ pfft.

Their model for Lassa fever, which is spread by rats, predicts that there will be twice as many human cases of the disease in Africa by 2070. The method can be applied to other disease threats such as Ebola and Zika, they say. Like the Ebola virus, the Lassa virus causes haemorrhagic fever and can be fatal. Lassa fever virus currently affects between 100,000 and one million people a year in western sub-Saharan Africa.

The man-made copy is a replica of the strain that is spreading across the Americas and has been linked to brain deformities in newborn babies. In tests at the University of Texas, the clone could infect mosquitoes - the carrier of Zika - and cause disease in laboratory mice.

In 1962, after the Jicamarca Radio Observatory was built near Lima, Peru, some unexplainable phenomenon was reflecting the radio waves broadcast by the observatory back to the ground to be picked up by its detectors.

Hunt for Big Bang Gravitational Waves Gets $40 Million Boost How did it all begin? The origin of the cosmos is probably the biggest mystery in scienceâ€”but amazingly, researchers do have some hard evidence to consult in their attempts to solve it. The cosmic microwave background (CMB), a microwave fog that pervades space, is the oldest light in existenceâ€”it was released about 13.7 billion years ago when the extremely hot and dense baby universe cooled enough to allow photons to travel freely for the first time. That was about 380,000 years after the big bang, and the light has been flying through space ever since. Although the light itself is already unimaginably ancient, it may preserve a record of things that happened even earlierâ€”specifically, it might contain imprints from gravitational waves that may have ripped through the cosmos in the very first moments of space and time. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/hunt-for-big-bang-gravitational-waves-gets-40-million-boost/

But they also face the enormous challenge of trying to keep the blood supply safe. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is a â€œstrong possibilityâ€ that Zika can be spread through blood transfusions. The CDC says there are suspected cases of Zika transmitted by blood transfusions in Brazil. During the 2013 outbreak in French Polynesia, about 3 per cent of blood donors tested positive for Zika. Because as many as 80 per cent of people infected with the virus donâ€™t develop symptoms, many blood donors may not realize they have it. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/zika-virus-a-threat-to-blood-supply-in-affected-areas/article29922955/ Glenn, think you are safe also.

A sign at the entrance reads: â€œZiika [sic] Forest, Property of Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI).â€ â€œSee that platform there?â€ Julius Lutwama, the head of UVRIâ€™s arbovirology department, asked. He was giving me a tour of the 25-hectare (62-acre) tropical forest and pointing at wooden platforms high up in the trees. â€œIn 1947, when researchers were looking for yellow fever, they would put monkeys in cages on one of these platforms. Periodically, they would collect blood samples from them and analyze them. Thatâ€™s when they isolated a new virus on a captive rhesus monkey, which was not yellow fever.â€ This new virus was named Zika, after the forest. http://qz.com/635161/even-in-the-place-where-zika-virus-was-first-discovered-its-true-origin-is-a-mystery/ The Zika Story.

Its mirror grabs light for 55 seconds, again and again. The robot telescopeâ€”called TRAPPISTâ€”will observe the star for 245 hours across sixty-two nights, making 12,295 measurements. Eleven times, it will see the star dim, ever so slightly.

Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny, an assistant director-general for health systems and innovation at the WHO, addressed the possibility of an expanding range for the mosquitoes that spread the Zika virus. With mosquito season arriving in Europe, "the possibility of local transmission combined with the likelihood of onward sexual transmission could see a marked increase in the number of people with Zika and related complications," she said, according to Agence France-Presse. "As seasonal temperatures begin to rise in Europe, two species of Aedes mosquito, which we know transmit the virus, will begin to circulate," Kieny said, according to the AFP. Currently, 42 countries are experiencing a first outbreak of Zika virus since 2015, with no previous evidence of circulation and ongoing transmission by mosquitoes, according to a WHO situation report last week. Three European countries -- France, Italy and Portugal -- are among the eight countries that have reported person-to-person transmission of the virus via sexual contact. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/zika-virus-updates-warns-marked-increase-outbreak-europe/story?id=38675468

The search team in Australia has now released photos that give an eerie clue to the fate of the flight. Two pieces of text are stencilled onto the parts, one says "NO STEP", the other says "676EB".

Behemoth Black Hole Found in an Unlikely Place Astronomers have uncovered a near-record breaking supermassive black hole, weighing 17 billion suns, in an unlikely place: in the center of a galaxy in a sparsely populated area of the universe. The observations, made by NASAâ€™s Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini Telescope in Hawaii, may indicate that these monster objects may be more common than once thought. Until now, the biggest supermassive black holes â€“ those roughly 10 billion times the mass of our sun â€“ have been found at the cores of very large galaxies in regions of the universe packed with other large galaxies. In fact, the current record holder tips the scale at 21 billion suns and resides in the crowded Coma galaxy cluster that consists of over 1,000 galaxies. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/behemoth-black-hole-found-in-an-unlikely-place

This last week I watched a award winner show on the ABC called Landline at the end of the show the said one of the reporters had won a award for a story about Q fever. When I was 17 I worked in a slaughter house and became very sick for a few days . High Temp , shivers , and my joints ached , at the time my father was going to take me to a hospital as he was worried however being a bloke I just said no dad I'm ok it's just Q fever and i'll be ok in a few days it doesn't kill just makes you sick like the flu . Well I was wrong there are long term side effects that 20% of people get . These effects are usually like Chronic fatigue syndrome . Normally you only get it working around Beef , goats , sheep . It can also live in the soil for years and when a drought comes it can then be kicked up in the dust and become air bourne So if you live in the country near farms and have become sick and suffer Chronic fatigue syndrome then you may have cought Q-Fever and you may want to have a test to see if you have the antibodies in your blood witch means you have cought Q-Fever at some time and can get help for the Chronic fatigue syndrome and depression that it can cause There was a outbreak in Norway only a few years ago and 50,000 people became infected with it in a town and shows you that you don't have to live on the door step of a farm to get but just live near in a farming town and the government order'd a cull of all the infected goats in that country . Australia has the only known vaccine for humans and the French have one for animals . I'll put a link to it at ABC but I'm not shore if you will be able to watch the story but try it and see . http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2015/s4333689.htm I'm putting this up as some of our users have said they have Chronic fatigue syndrome and they can't get help so if you lived in the country in a farming area you may have had Q-Fever .(Suzie) The latest outbreak in Australia saw 5 people get sick but it was not till a 6th person got sick and actually got a diagnosis of Q-Fever that the Farmer of the property realised what was going on . It is common for this not to be diagnosed as people tend to think it's just the flu Thanks for posting this. Makes sense to me.

Report from Australian investigators suggests MH370 was a â€˜zombie planeâ€™ Buried in the lengthy report released last week by Australiaâ€™s MH370 investigators is one crucial revelation: the aircraft suffered a serious technical problem triggered by a power outage. The Australian Defense Science and Technology report officially acknowledges the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight suffered a sudden electrical failure before its disappearance on March 8 last year, the Daily Beast found. This backs the popular â€œzombie planeâ€ theory, whereby the missing planeâ€™s avionic systems are ravaged, rendering the flight crew helpless, and the aircraft continued flying on autopilot until it ran out of fuel. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/12/10/report-from-australian-investigators-suggests-mh370-was-zombie-plane/

I have yet to come across it mentioned here. Forgive me if I have missed a relevant post. Playing politics with Leishmaniasis disease? I found this to be a little more accurate than other sites reporting of this story. Poor sanitary conditions can increase the number of places for sandflies to breed, according to the World Health Organization. So ISIS' practice of dumping bodies in the streets could directly increase the risk for Leishmaniasis infection. But the disease was already spreading through Syria as the health system collapsed after civil war broke out in 2011. Tens of thousands of doctors have since left the country, and by 2013, two out of five hospitals were not in service, according to an article in the BMJ. By 2012, nearly 53,000 cases of cutaneous Leishmaniasis (the most common type) were reported in Syria, and that's the last official number available. The situation may be even worse now. The local news story that the State Department tweeted out says the first case was reported in 2013, which is inaccurate, and that by mid-2014, 500 people were infected, which is likely an underestimate. Leishmaniasis has been a terrible disease native to Syria since at least 900 BC. Worldwide, the WHO estimates that 1.3 million new cases are reported every year; between 20,000 and 30,000 of them are fatal. I've never heard of this disease. Thanks for the post, Sir Rodney!

Half of Kepler's giant exoplanet candidates are false positives An international team led by Alexandre Santerne from Instituto de AstrofÃsica e CiÃªncias do EspaÃ§o (IA), made a 5-year radial velocity campaign of Kepler's giant exoplanet candidates, using the SOPHIE spectrograph (Observatory of Haute-Provence, France), and found that 52.3 percent were actually eclipsing binaries, while 2.3 percent were brown dwarfs. Santerne, first author of this paper commented: "It was thought that the reliability of the Kepler exoplanets detection was very good â€“ between 10 and 20 percent of them were not planets. Our extensive spectroscopic survey of the largest exoplanets discovered by Kepler shows that this percentage is much higher, even above 50 percent. This has strong implications in our understanding of the exoplanet population in the Kepler field." http://phys.org/news/2015-12-kepler-giant-exoplanet-candidates-false.html

NASA's Kepler mission had monitored the star for four years, observing two unusual incidents, in 2011 and 2013, when the star's light dimmed in dramatic, never-before-seen ways. Something had passed in front of the star and blocked its light, but what? Scientists first reported the findings in September, suggesting a family of comets as the most likely explanation. Other cited causes included fragments of planets and asteroids. A new study using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope addresses the mystery, finding more evidence for the scenario involving a swarm of comets. The study, led by Massimo Marengo of Iowa State University, Ames, is accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/strange-star-likely-swarmed-by-comets

My youngest sibling has been taken seriously ill with MenB. In consequence, my presence here will prove sporadic. In the interim, I will post the small progress made (prior to her illness) and the little I have added to it since. From a certain point of view, one can make a strong case in saying the USA made ISIL... From a certain point of view... For hands as grubby, if not more so, Major Kong, we need to look a little further back than that, Sir - although even this is not far enough. The following (intended merely as an outline - for which I will endeavour to provide specific links for at a later date) might be: The Anglo-French decision to implode the Ottoman Empire. In the interests of furthering state, corporate, and colonial greed, the cost of setting Muslim against Muslim, and Muslim against Jew, appeared on the investment side of our balance sheet. It still does. (A read from a perspective we rarely confront ourselves with.) Secondly: Why Britain knew the policy "worked" ie: How we turned an uprising against our presence in India into a war between faiths, to strengthen our grip on the subcontinent, and deepen divisions. It left behind a nation so paranoid of its neighbours it was ripe for successive military coups, and US support of them â€“ gaining the latter, access to Pakistan's border with Iran (initially) and more recently, to their border with Afghanistan. The Balfour agreement (mentioned earlier in this thread as I recall) was discussed at length in another thread. Having read that, there seems little point revisiting it here, but it explains a PM I received earlier this week :-) To return to my initial link (above) by the 1979 revolution, his increasingly independent policies resulted in his effective abandonment by his American allies, hastening his downfall. The bold text is my insertion. Keep it mind when reading the following link: The strongest propaganda is constructed upon truth I will leave to individual discretion, how much could be deemed subjective and/or propaganda - but the book it refers to is one that was recommended to me by a young man I shared part of my education with. Our views on the role Britain played internationally, were initially vehemently opposed. It was an uncomfortable first lesson for me. The link I have provided here, whatever its shortcomings, is a fair representation of the compelling and well-researched case that was put forward by Engdahl. But for the moment, I will have to leave it there. Once again, my apologies. Smoke me a kipper, My thoughts and prayers are with you daughter. Wishing her a full recovery. France CLOSES all borders for three months.

'Toasty' exoplanet resembles Earth but for oven-like temperature Scientists have spotted a new planet thatâ€™s both a dead ringer for our own and resides just around the cosmic corner from our part of the galaxy. The planetâ€™s proximity and uncanny resemblance to Earth make it â€œarguably the most important planet ever found outside the solar system,â€ the University of Marylandâ€™s Drake Deming wrote in a commentary accompanying the scientific report about the discovery. Dubbed GJ 1132b, it is slightly wider and more massive than Earth. Its composition is similar to Earthâ€™s, and it lies only 39 light-years, or 230 trillion miles, away, which isnâ€™t very far compared to the unfathomable spread of the universe.

It won't cause any major problems on the ground, but there's still something troubling: Astronomers don't know what the heck it is, or why it's only now coming up on their radar. http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/news/a17915/unknown-space-debris-reentry/

Thanks to the ring's interaction with the moons Prometheus and Pandora, and perhaps a host of smaller moonlets hidden in its core, the F ring is a constantly changing structure, with features that form, fade and re-appear on timescales of hours to days. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 7 degrees below the ring plane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 15, 2015.

New research suggests that most of the material that has struck Ceres in high-speed collisions has stuck â€” billions of years worth of meteorite material. What smacks into Ceres stays on Ceres A new set of high-velocity impact experiments suggests that the dwarf planet Ceres may be something of a cosmic dartboard: Projectiles that slam into it tend to stick. The experiments, performed using the Vertical Gun Range at NASAâ€™s Ames Research Center, suggest that when asteroids and other impactors hit Ceres, much of the impact material remains on the surface instead of bouncing off into space. The findings suggest the surface of Ceres could consist largely of a mish-mash of meteoritic material collected over billions of years of bombardment. http://www.astrobio.net/topic/solar-system/meteoritescomets-and-asteroids/what-smacks-into-ceres-stays-on-ceres/

It seems that rather than the subtle signs of extra-solar planets, the Kepler Space Telescope found something very unusual about the star KIC 8462852. Deep, irregular dimmings of the star were noted. Many natural explanations were considered, but none was very satisfactory in explaining what was observed. An unnatural explanation is proposed; that huge structures may have been placed in orbit of this star to collect its energy for use by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization.

Astronomers believe that medium-sized black holes between these two extremes exist, but evidence has been hard to come by, with roughly a half-dozen candidates described so far. A team led by astronomers at the University of Maryland (UMD) and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has found evidence for a new intermediate-mass black hole about 5,000 times the mass of the Sun. The discovery adds one more candidate to the list of potential medium-sized black holes, while strengthening the case that these objects do exist. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2015/09/astronomers-identify-a-new-mid-sized-black-hole

With less than the length of our solar system separating them, this possible binary black hole system looks to be the closest pair ever spotted, suggesting the two black holes might be on a collision course that would unleash ripples throughout the fabric of spacetime and help researchers understand how galaxies combine. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/flickering-quasar-may-hold-black-holes-on-a-collision-course/

Ebola virus causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates with high mortality rates and continues to emerge in new geographic locations, including West Africa, the site of the largest outbreak to date. Over 28,000 confirmed, probable and suspected cases have been reported in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, with more than 11,000 reported deaths, according to the World Health Organization. The virus overruns the immune system, thus overwhelming the host's ability to fight off the infection. One strategy for treatment is based on the administration of a "cocktail" of antibodies that have the ability to neutralize the virus and allow the host to mount an effective immune response. http://www.science20.com/news_articles/ebola_virus_mutations_may_help_it_evade_drug_treatment-157187

Janne, just a few more ways it spreads. How it spreads By blood products (unclean needles or unscreened blood). By skin-to-skin contact (handshakes or hugs). By saliva (kissing or shared drinks).

Their findings, published online this week in the journal Cell Reports, have implications for the continued development of therapeutics to treat Ebola virus disease, which has claimed the lives of over 11,000 people in West Africa since last year. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-09-ebola-virus-mutations-evade-drug.html

Huge caverns formed from lava tubes can be made into self sustaining colonies deep enough beneath the surface to completely shield humans from cosmic and solar radiation. The scientists in the discussion also pointed out, as I have, that launches from the moon out to the rest of the solar system would require far less initial power than launches from the surface of the earth.

At Saturn, One of These Rings is not like the Others When the sun set on Saturn's rings in August 2009, scientists on NASA's Cassini mission were watching closely. It was the equinox -- one of two times in the Saturnian year when the sun illuminates the planet's enormous ring system edge-on. The event provided an extraordinary opportunity for the orbiting Cassini spacecraft to observe short-lived changes in the rings that reveal details about their nature. Like Earth, Saturn is tilted on its axis. Over the course of its 29-year-long orbit, the sun's rays move from north to south over the planet and its rings, and back again. The changing sunlight causes the temperature of the rings -- which are made of trillions of icy particles -- to vary from season to season. During equinox, which lasted only a few days, unusual shadows and wavy structures appeared and, as they sat in twilight for this brief period, the rings began to cool. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/at-saturn-one-of-these-rings-is-not-like-the-others

This should fit in with the previous designations of: Rocky planets (Inner) Gas planets (Outer giants) Icy planets (Far out dwarfs) This shouldn't offend anyones' sensibilities and should ease the arguments. As time and technology move on we will find more and more of the latter. We may even choose to consider members of the Oort cloud to be far out icy asteroids (potential comets) Perhaps we will find that this pattern exists for other "solar systems" Here is a truly beautiful proposal that should just about end arguments (I hope): http://www.astronist.co.uk/astro_ev/_docs/Ashworth_planet_nomenclature.pdf http://www.astronist.co.uk/astro_ev/_docs/Ashworth_planet_nomenclature.pdf Made clickable Welcome to the Forums!

It felt like a watered down version of Windows 8 and 7 combined. The start menu is back and it's different than Windows 7 but the lame tiles are there and if you don't have a touch screen PC or tablet it seems silly, I like my mouse. There is no aero glass just a dull white backround on browsers and the explorer. It is a usable OS but Windows 7 is still perfect compared to Windows 10. So I went back to Windows 7 and fortunately I didn't lose any files or programs. I realize support for Windows 7 might be gone in the future (say possibly 5 to 6 years) but it's a perfect OS and I have no idea why Microsoft isn't improving on Windows 7. Windows 10 was a huge disappointment for me, I had high expectations. If you liked Windows 8 or 8.1 you may like Windows 10, but if you love Windows 7 it's gonna feel watered down. So it's up to you to try it, I realize it's free at the moment for up to a year. Good luck everyone, hope you like it, it didn't work for my tastes. Maybe after a few months or a year with updates it will be worth the upgrade, but not at the moment, it feels like a beta system. Microsoft should and could do a lot better than this.

Stephen Hawking, Frank Drake and dozens of journalists gathered at the Royal Society in London last week to hear astronomers announce a ground-breaking new project to search for intelligent extraterrestrial life called "Breakthrough Listen." They will be using two of the world's largest radio telescopes (Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia) to listen for radio messages from intelligent alien species. Scientists have chosen to target the nearest million stars as well as the nearest 100 galaxies. This project will also monitor the Galactic plane for months at a time. This unprecedented effort is a collaboration between UC Berkeley and the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, and employs an international team of astronomers and data scientists, including Frank Drake â€“ the father of SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence). It is perhaps fitting that this new program will make use of the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), since Green Bank, West Virginia was the site of the first modern SETI experiment, called "Project Ozma." In 1960, Frank Drake pointed the Tatel telescope at two nearby stars to search for the telltale signs of intelligent life; radio signals near 1.420 GHz. He listened on-and-off for four months, collecting 150 hours of data. He heard nothing. http://phys.org/news/2015-08-seti-unprecedented.html

The aircraft flaperon, identical to that of a Boeing 777, was found on a beach of Reunion Island more than 6000km west of Perth and will be sent to France for investigation. Oceanographers and other experts said the discovery was â€œabsolutely consistentâ€ with drift modelling based around MH370â€™s likely resting place in the southern Indian Ocean. A suitcase has also washed ashore at the same location as the aircraft flaperon but as yet there is no confirmation the suitcase is linked to the earlier debris.

Astronomers find aurora a million times brighter than the northern lights The sky above a failed star in a distant constellation shimmers with a beautiful green and yellow aurora one million times brighter than the northern lights. The spectacular light show is the first confirmed aurora on a body outside the solar system, and the most powerful ever recorded. Astronomers detected the celestial display when they trained some of the worldâ€™s most sensitive telescopes on a brown dwarf that lies 18 light years away in the constellation of Lyra. The auroraâ€™s colourful streaks wave green and yellow when oxygen and sodium are battered by electrons in the brown dwarfâ€™s atmosphere. The brightest light the telescopes picked up was from hydrogen, which glow redder than the eye can see. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jul/29/astronomers-find-aurora-a-million-times-brighter-than-the-northern-lights

The short answer is no, but there is a lot more to it than that. The outbreak has been "nearly over" for months. So while "Ebola fatigue" is understandable, it's also potentially extremely dangerous. There are still around 20-30 new cases a week in the three worst-affected countries. Before this outbreak, those numbers would have constituted a major epidemic, but we live in very changed times. At the height of the outbreak, West Africa was seeing hundreds of new infections a week. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-33622471

But itâ€™s 2015 now, and the disease is still infecting people. For the past two months, that rate was about 15 people a week. But in the past two weeks, the rate has doubled. This is bad. Not last summer-badâ€”when weekly infection rates were in the hundredsâ€”but bad enough that relief agencies have begun to worry about a resurgence. And even a trickle of infections is a wear on the aid workers, government authorities, and most of all, communities living in months of fear. â€œI was here in 2014.

Kepler-452b orbits at a very similar distance from its star, though its radius is 60% larger. Nasa scientists said they believe it is the most Earth-like planet yet. Such worlds are of interest to astronomers because they might be small and cool enough to host liquid water on their surface - and might therefore be hospitable to life. Nasa's science chief John Grunsfeld called the new world the "closest so far" to Earth.

Guinea, Sierra Leone are said to be reporting cases on a daily basis while Liberia was declared free on May 9 of this year. Whilst the Ebola outbreak continues in neighboring countries, there is a risk the disease could be imported into Liberia and re-start the outbreak. However, a large-scale outbreak is unlikely due to the current preparedness measures. Liberia was one of the worst affected countries in the West African Ebola outbreak. Transmission declined in early 2015, and the response scaled back proportionally in some areas. http://graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/46611-ebola-not-yet-over.html

According to current theories, the formation of Jupiter-mass planets plays an important role in shaping the architecture of planetary systems. The existence of a Jupiter-mass planet in a Jupiter-like orbit around a Sun-like star opens the possibility that the system of planets may be similar to our own Solar System. So far, exoplanet surveys have been most sensitive to planetary systems that are populated in their inner regions by massive planets, down to a few times the mass of the Earth. This contrasts with our Solar System, where there are small rocky planets in the inner regions and gas giants like Jupiter farther out. http://phys.org/news/2015-07-jupiter-twin-solar.html

Mars Rover Finds Rocks Suggesting Red Planet Had Continental Crust Some unusually light-colored rocks on Mars discovered by NASA's Curiosity rover are surprisingly similar to granitic continental crust rocks of Earth, the first evidence of a potential "continental crust" on Mars, scientists say. Mars has been thought of as mostly a basaltic planet, covered with dark, relatively dense igneous rocks like those making up the Earth's crust below our oceans. A geologic find by the Curiosity rover suggests Mars in its distant past may have been much more like the Earth, researchers say. Early Mars may have had tectonic plates that formed continents, they suggest.

The map combines images takes between 27 June and 3 July Scientists have released their latest map of Pluto, using images from the inbound New Horizons spacecraft. It unwraps the visible parts of the sphere on to a flat projection, giving another view of the features that have started to emerge in recent days. Evident are the light and dark patches at the equator, including one long dark band being dubbed "the whale". The US space agency's (Nasa) New Horizons probe is now less than seven days away from its historic flyby. It is due to pass over the surface of the dwarf planet at a distance of less than 13,000km, grabbing a mass of images and other kinds of scientific data. The pictures at that point will be pin sharp, showing targets on the surface of the 2,300km-wide body at a resolution of better than 100m per pixel. The spots are part of a dark band that wraps around much of Pluto's equatorial region As of Wednesday, New Horizons was less that 7.5 million km from Pluto. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33440926

The findings have been presented at the UK National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno. The unusual system lies 250 light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.

Residents say that Liberia's first victim of the virus since the country was declared Ebola-free in early May had shared a dog meat meal with residents shortly before he died on June 28. Researchers have since retrieved the carcass of the dog from the village of Nedowein in Margibi County and tested the remains for Ebola, the sources said. "I learned today the result was negative, but we have to be careful because the remains are in bad condition and the test is designed for humans," said a health official in Liberia who asked for anonymity since research is ongoing. http://af.reuters.com/article/guineaNews/idAFL8N0ZN4E320150707

In 1960, a young astronomer named Frank Drake decided to find out. He pointed an 85-foot antenna at two distant stars and started listening for signs of life. In that moment, a new discipline was born: the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI. The epicenter of this search is the SETI Institute, an unassuming office building in Mountain View, Californiaâ€”the heart of Silicon Valley. Seth Shostak, director of the Center for SETI Research at the institute, says the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a lonely corner of science. "Worldwide, the total number of people doing this for a job, if you will, is maybe a dozen, maybe fifteen," he says. "Something like that. It's very small, terribly small." http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/local/the-pulse/83332-setis-attempt-to-make-contact-with-other-signs-of-life-

X-rays and gamma rays point to some of the most extreme phenomena in the Universe, such as stellar explosions, powerful outbursts and black holes feasting on their surroundings. In contrast to the peaceful view of the night sky we see with our eyes, the high-energy sky is a dynamic light show, from flickering sources that change their brightness dramatically in a few minutes to others that vary on timescales spanning years or even decades. On 15 June 2015, a long-time acquaintance of X-ray and gamma ray astronomers made its comeback to the cosmic stage: V404 Cygni, a system comprising a black hole and a star orbiting one another.

New from NASA's New Horizons: Increasing Variety on Pluto's Close Approach Hemisphere, and a 'Dark Pole' on Charon NASAâ€™s New Horizons spacecraft doesnâ€™t pass Pluto until July 14 â€“ but the mission team is making new discoveries as the piano-sized probe bears down on the Pluto system. In a long series of images obtained by New Horizonsâ€™ telescopic Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) May 29-June 19, Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, appear to more than double in size. From this rapidly improving imagery, scientists on the New Horizons team have found that the â€œclose approach hemisphereâ€ on Pluto that New Horizons will fly over has the greatest variety of terrain types seen on the planet so far. They have also discovered that Charon has a â€œdark poleâ€ â€“ a mysterious dark region that forms a kind of anti-polar cap. "This system is just amazing," said Alan Stern, New Horizons Principal Investigator, from the Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, Colorado. "The science team is just ecstatic with what we see on Plutoâ€™s close approach hemisphere: Every terrain type we see on the planetâ€”including both the brightest and darkest surface areas â€”are represented there, itâ€™s a wonderland! "And about Charonâ€”wowâ€”I donâ€™t think anyone expected Charon to reveal a mystery like dark terrains at its pole," he continued. "Who ordered that?" https://youtu.be/navsfeb19vI Video link. NASA

For example, icy moons in the outer solar system have craters with central pits, but on Ceres central pits in large craters are much more common. These and other features will allow us to understand the inner structure of Ceres that we cannot sense directly," said Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator for the Dawn mission, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

Pluto in Color: Movie Shows Dwarf Planet's Orbital Dance With Moon Charon Pluto and its moon Charon have been captured in full color and, well, slightly jerky motion by NASA's New Horizons probe. At a distance of around 30 million miles (50 million kilometers), the duo are little more than a handful of pixels wide, but already the color and shape of each can be discerned, as well as the complex orbital dance they perform every week or so. Because Charon is nearly an eighth of Pluto's mass, the two worlds are locked in an orbit around a shared center of gravity in space. They both rotate once every 6.4 Earth days. New Horizons is designed to study the particulars of that pattern and address many other questions about mysterious Pluto and its surroundings. https://youtu.be/wrqjsM-QBY4 Color Video. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/pluto-color-movie-shows-dwarf-planets-orbital-dance-moon-charon-n378856

Central peaks are the result of the surface reacting to the violent post-impact excavation of the crater. The northern crater does not show a similar feature.

So I really don't know what to think. Our other cat, Gandalf, is missing her. They used to fight, but also they would play together outside. Gandalf never liked spending too much time outside on her own and before we got Sauron, would insist that we accompany her into the garden. Her and Sauron would hang out together out there, never far from each other. Now Gandalf mopes about the house looking for her. She won't eat the food from Sauron's bowl, but I am not yet ready to put Sauron's bowl away . Gandalf has never been an athletic or even well co-ordinated cat. It was Sauron that taught her how to jump down from the shed roof, and it was Sauron who showed her how to climb in and out of the house through open windows. If you want to know what sort of cat Sauron was, go watch the movie "how to train your dragon" I should have called her Toothless. Everyone is so sad and missing her so much. :( :(((((

The researchers' computer simulations lead to the forensic assertion that a 90-degree nosedive explains the lack of debris or spilled oil in the water near where the plane is presumed to have crashed. The research was the cover story in the April 2015 issue of Notices of the American Mathematical Society (see the team's paper here.) Chen is an applied mathematician teaching and researching at Texas A&M at Qatar who has been a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University's main campus in College Station, Texas, USA since 1987. He led the interdisciplinary team of collaborators from Texas A&M, Penn State, Virginia Tech, MIT and the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) in simulating and modeling what might have happened to the plane.

Pluto's moons tumble in orbit, Hubble measurements reveal Plutoâ€™s moons have been tracked closely for the first time, showing that they tumble unpredictably rather than keeping one face fixed on their host planet. Astronomers also observed that Pluto, whose status was downgraded to a dwarf planet in 2006, might be better regarded as a binary dwarf as it is locked in orbit with its largest moon, called Charon. The twin system creates an imbalanced and shifting gravitational field, which sends the tiny outer moons spinning chaotically, the measurements from the Hubble space telescope showed. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jun/03/plutos-moons-have-chaotic-orbits-hubble-measurements-reveal

Working off a list of Food and Drug Administration-approved, "off the shelf" drugs and adding in other common small molecules such as metals, herbs and food additives, the researchers came up with 2,700 promising compounds.

Which could indicate, geological processes at work. It also looks like there could be snow/ice, etc to. It doesn't look like it will be dull. NASAâ€™s New Horizons Sees More Detail as It Draws Closer to Pluto What a difference 20 million miles makes! Images of Pluto from NASAâ€™s New Horizons spacecraft are growing in scale as the spacecraft approaches its mysterious target. The new images, taken May 8-12 using a powerful telescopic camera and downlinked last week, reveal more detail about Plutoâ€™s complex and high contrast surface. These images show Pluto in the latest series of New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) photos, taken May 8-12, 2015, compared to LORRI images taken one month earlier. In the month between these image sets, New Horizonsâ€™ distance to Pluto decreased from 68 million miles (110 million kilometers) to 47 million miles (75 million kilometers), as the spacecraft speeds toward a close encounter with the Pluto system in mid-July. The April images are shown on the left, with the May images on the right. All have been rotated to align Plutoâ€™s rotational axis with the vertical direction (up-down), as depicted schematically in the center panel. Between April and May, Pluto appears to get larger as the spacecraft gets closer, with Plutoâ€™s apparent size increasing by approximately 50 percent. Pluto rotates around its axis every 6.4 Earth days, and these images show the variations in Plutoâ€™s surface features during its rotation. These images are displayed at four times the native LORRI image size, and have been processed using a method called deconvolution, which sharpens the original images to enhance features on Pluto. Deconvolution can occasionally add â€œfalseâ€ details, so the finest details in these pictures will need to be confirmed by images taken from closer range in the next few weeks. All of the images are displayed using the same linear brightness scale. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-s-new-horizons-sees-more-detail-as-it-draws-closer-to-pluto

Hubble Video Shows Shock Collision inside Black Hole Jet When youâ€™re blasting though space at more than 98 percent of the speed of light, you may need driverâ€™s insurance. Astronomers have discovered for the first time a rear-end collision between two high-speed knots of ejected matter. This discovery was made while piecing together a time-lapse movie of a plasma jet blasted from a supermassive black hole inside a galaxy located 260 million light-years from earth. The finding offers new insights into the behavior of â€œlight saber-likeâ€ jets that are so energized that they appear to zoom out of black hole at speeds several times the speed of light. This â€œsuperluminalâ€ motion is an optical illusion due to their being pointed very close to our line of sight and very fast speeds. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/hubble-video-shows-shock-collision-inside-black-hole-jet https://youtu.be/nf7W-WfKxLM

It seems that the slide was found two dozen years ago in the house of a deceased Arizona couple, although its true provenance is sketchy.

According to figures released on Tuesday by the special government department set up to fight the disease, treatment clinics were handling just eight confirmed Ebola cases. "Today we have 27 sick in our treatment centres, including 18 confirmed cases," the department's spokesman Fode Tass Sylla told Reuters. "Yesterday alone we recorded five sick." Sylla said all the new patients had contracted the disease at funeral ceremonies. http://www.gnnliberia.com/articles/2015/05/16/guinea-ebola-cases-climb-high-due-transmissions-funerals

Nearly seven months after she was released from quarantine in a Newark hospital and escorted out of the state, she still has questions about her treatment here. The nurse, who was the first returning Ebola worker to encounter Gov. Chris Christie's rapidly evolving quarantine policy last October, detailed her concerns in a blistering essay appearing tomorrow in Suffolk University Law School's Journal of Health and Biomedical Law. http://www.nj.com/healthfit/index.ssf/2015/05/ebola_nurse_chastises_christie_calls_her_nj_quaran.html

Asteroid to Pass 6 Million Miles from Earth Thursday An asteroid, designated 1999 FN53, will safely pass more than 26 times the distance of Earth to the moon on May 14. To put it another way, at its closest point, the asteroid will get no closer than 6.3 million miles away (10 million kilometers). It will not get closer than that for well over 100 years. And even then, (119 years from now) it will be so far away it will not affect our planet in any way, shape or form. 1999 FN53 is approximately 3,000 feet (1 kilometer) across. "This is a flyby in the loosest sense of the term," said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "We can compute the motion of this asteroid for the next 3,000 years and it will never be a threat to Earth. This is a relatively unremarkable asteroid, and its distant flyby of Earth tomorrow is equally unremarkable." http://www.nasa.gov/jpl/asteroid-distant-flyby-thursday

Magnetars are dense, collapsed stars (called â€œneutron starsâ€) that possess enormously powerful magnetic fields. At a distance that could be as small as 0.3 light years (or about 2 trillion miles) from the 4-million-solar mass black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, the magnetar is by far the closest neutron star to a supermassive black hole ever discovered and is likely in its gravitational grip. Since its discovery two years ago when it gave off a burst of X-rays, astronomers have been actively monitoring the magnetar, dubbed SGR 1745-2900, with Chandra and the European Space Agencyâ€™s XMM-Newton. The main image of the graphic shows the region around the Milky Wayâ€™s black hole in X-rays from Chandra (red, green, and blue are the low, medium, and high-energy X-rays respectively). The inset contains Chandraâ€™s close-up look at the area right around the black hole, showing a combined image obtained between 2005 and 2008 (left) when the magnetar was not detected, during a quiescent period, and an observation in 2013 (right) when it was caught as a bright point source during the X-ray outburst that led to its discovery. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/magnetar-near-supermassive-black-hole-delivers-surprises.html

The observations support a fundamental theory of particle physics, according to a paper published today in the journal Nature.

The research, involving some 74 scientists in almost two dozen countries, is one of the most comprehensive sets of genetic data on a human infectious agent and paints a worrying scene of an "ever-increasing public health threat", they said. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/11/us-health-typhoid-idUSKBN0NW1E920150511

MH370: The one theory of the â€˜airline pilot fraternityâ€™ that makes sense ON March 8 2014, around 1am, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared over the South China Sea. It was subsequently found to have tracked westward over Penang, around Aceh and six hours later deep into the southern Indian Ocean. This is where the continuing search is concentrated. However, after the seventh satellite ping, MH370 could have flown for another 50 minutes (700kms), so the position line intersecting the arc from the satellite may be quite broad. As far as the Diego Garcia conspiracy theorists and the aircraft seen over the Maldives at 8am, I have flown many times into the Maldives and also into Gan, part of the South Island chain of Diego Garcia. There is quite a lot of airline and military aircraft traffic in that region, so sighting an aircraft at 8am does not have any significance. http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/mh370-the-one-theory-of-the-airline-pilot-fraternity-that-makes-sense/story-fnizu68q-1227348285562

Well, you really shouldn't. It seems that, that country places an extreme value on females of just being a baby factory, essentially making that their primary duty. Only after menopause are women then permitted to have any other life. It likely explains a lot of the reactions you get from the people who live there and post here. Something most of them don't realize as to how ingrained it is to their culture. They will be able to cite thousands of examples all in the name of protecting the future. Many, even most, of the examples will even make logical sense. The issue is the underlying assumptions that are made which are false. How do you come up with this??? Wrong on so many levels.

The pictures, taken over the past few weeks and released on April 29, show Pluto with its largest moon, Charon. The dwarf planetâ€™s surface is mottled with light and dark patches, each measuring hundreds of kilometres across. But its pole remains bright no matter how Pluto rotates, suggesting that a highly reflective icy cap may exist there. â€œItâ€™s very suspiciously suggestive,â€ says Alan Stern, the missionâ€™s principal investigator, who is based at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

This finding may help astronomers understand how the largest black holes were able to grow so rapidly in the early Universe. Astronomers have known for some time that supermassive black holes âˆ’ with masses ranging from millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun and residing at the centers of galaxies âˆ’ can gobble up huge quantities of gas and dust that have fallen into their gravitational pull. As the matter falls towards these black holes, it glows with such brilliance that they can be seen billions of light years away. Astronomers call these extremely ravenous black holes â€œquasars.â€ This new result suggests that some quasars are even more adept at devouring material than scientists previously knew. http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_feature/public/thumbnails/image/1-opnav3_barycen_noano-1041.gif?itok=au5cFoYI

Ebola 400 days on: Assuming epidemic is stemmed will only result in 'disaster next door' As Sierra Leone marks a grim birthday, the 400th day since its first confirmed Ebola case recorded on 23 March 2014, IBTimes UK spoke to Rossella Miccio, humanitarian office coordinator for NGO Emergency, who warns against the assumption the epidemic has been stemmed. With around three new Ebola cases every day, Sierra Leone has for now stabilised the outbreak â€“ which was infecting more than 100 people daily at the height of the epidemic in December 2014 â€“ but Miccio says aid agency workers and local residents are letting their guards down. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ebola-400-days-assuming-epidemic-stemmed-will-only-result-disaster-next-door-1498554

My family survived Ebola (my aunt was infected), but because of stigma â€“ there was name calling, like â€œEbola pikin demâ€ (â€œEbola childâ€) â€“ we were forced to move across town, to a place where no one knew us. Moving solved that problem but not the hunger and the poverty. Depending on hand-outs was horrible. So glad your family survived the Ebola epidemic Lynn. Being forced to move across town must have been a real ordeal for you and your family. Hopefully you will find respite at your new local.

Despite no new Ebola cases in the West Africa country, the effects of the outbreak will linger for years to come. Kagbantama, Sierra Leone - In just one month Abdul Kamara, 18, lost his entire family to Ebola. "My brothers, my sister, my father, my uncle, my grandmom - all of them [died]," he said, recalling how the disease killed all eight people living with him in his father's home in northwestern Sierra Leone. In total, 90 people died from Ebola in Kagbantama - a dusty collage of mud brick structures of just 1,000 inhabitants where Abdul has lived his entire life. The United Nations predicts the Ebola outbreak will be over by August 2015, more than a year after it started in Sierra Leone in May of 2014. http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2015/04/recovering-ebola-sierra-leone-150426065907686.html Down to zero: Recovering from Ebola in Sierra Leone

Credits: NASA/ESA A new window to the universe opened for humanity on the morning of April 24, 1990, when NASAâ€™s Hubble Space Telescope was lofted into space, riding atop a Promethean flame from the space shuttle Discovery. "Even the most optimistic person to whom you could have spoken back in 1990 couldnâ€™t have predicted the degree to which Hubble would re-write our astrophysics and planetary science textbooks," said Charlie Bolden, NASA administrator and pilot of the mission that brought Hubble into orbit. "A quarter century later, Hubble has fundamentally changed human understanding of the universe and our place in it." Hubbleâ€™s scientific payoff has been immeasurable; it has shown us the universe as we never imagined. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-s-hubble-space-telescope-celebrates-25-years-of-unveiling-the-universe

Astronomers have discovered what they say is the largest known structure in the universe: an incredibly big hole. The â€œsupervoidâ€, as it is known, is a spherical blob 1.8 billion light years across that is distinguished by its unusual emptiness. IstvÃ¡n Szapudi, who led the work at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, described the object as possibly â€œthe largest individual structure ever identified by humanityâ€. Its existence only emerged thanks to a targeted astronomical survey, which confirmed that around 10,000 galaxies were â€œmissingâ€ from the part of the sky it sits in.

Pulsing light may indicate supermassive black hole merger As two galaxies enter the final stages of merging, scientists have theorized that the galaxies' supermassive black holes will form a "binary," or two black holes in such close orbit they are gravitationally bound to one another. In a new study, astronomers at the University of Maryland present direct evidence of a pulsing quasar, which may substantiate the existence of black hole binaries. http://phys.org/news/2015-04-pulsing-supermassive-black-hole-merger.html

The announcement came from Australian, Malaysian and Chinese ministers meeting to discuss progress. The plane, flying from the Malaysian capital to Beijing, disappeared on 8 March 2014 with 239 people on board. It is believed to have crashed off Western Australia, but so far no trace has been found. At the moment teams using sophisticated sonar equipment are scouring a 60,000 sq km (23,000 sq mile) area of seabed far west of the Australian city of Perth. About 40% of this remains to be searched. If nothing is found, the search will be extended by another 60,000 sq km to "cover the entire highest probability area identified by expert analysis", a joint statement from the ministers said. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32331650

Hunters Say Now? Just how realistic is it to believe that humans will someday find evidence of extraterrestrial life? NASA's chief scientist recently predicted that we'd find signs of life beyond Earth within a decade or so, but a new study by researchers at Penn State -- one of the most exhaustive of its type -- isn't very encouraging. After surveying tens of thousands of galaxies surrounding our own Milky Way galaxy, the scientists turned up no sign of advanced alien civilizations. "These galaxies are billions of years old, which should have been plenty of time for them to have been filled with alien civilizations, if they exist," Dr. Jason T. Wright, an assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the university's Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds and one of the researchers, said in a written statement. "Either they don't exist, or they don't yet use enough energy for us to recognize them." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/15/search-for-alien-life-100000-galaxies_n_7063232.html?utm_hp_ref=science

This result is published online today in a study in the Astronomical Journal, along with additional insights into the nature of the structures. "We've been able to show that each unique tendril structure can be reproduced by particular sets of geysers on the moon's surface," said Colin Mitchell, a Cassini imaging team associate at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and lead author of the paper. Mitchell and colleagues used computer simulations to follow the trajectories of ice grains ejected from individual geysers. The geysers, which were discovered by Cassini in 2005, are jets of tiny water ice particles, water vapor and simple organic compounds. This collage of Cassini spacecraft images and computer simulations shows how long, sinuous features from Enceladus can be modeled by tracing the trajectories of tiny, icy grains ejected from the moon's south polar geysers. http://www.nasa.gov/jpl/cassini/icy-tendrils-reaching-into-saturn-ring-traced-to-their-source/index.html

Differences in morphology and color across the surface suggest Ceres was once an active body, Dawn researchers said today at the 2015 General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union in Vienna. "This dwarf planet was not just an inert rock throughout its history. It was active, with processes that resulted in different materials in different regions. We are beginning to capture that diversity in our color images," said Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission, based at the University of California, Los Angeles. These images, from Dawn's visible and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR), highlight two regions on Ceres containing bright spots.

Last August, the UN health agency declared the epidemic of the lethal virus to be a global emergency after the deaths of nearly 1,000 people, mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. At the peak last year, hundreds of new cases were being reported every week. In an update this week, WHO reported there were 30 confirmed cases last week in Guinea and Sierra Leone; the last case in Liberia died on March 27. http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/ebola-outbreak-still-a-global-emergency-who-1.2320510

In the following months, the epidemic grew into Ebola's worst on record. More than 10,500 people succumbed to the disease and 24,000 were infected, most of them in the West African countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. At the hight of the crisis -- when West Africa recored more than a hundred new cases each week and cities like New York and Madrid feared an outbreak -- Ebola ruled the front pages of media outlets around the world. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/10/ebola-not-over_n_7019072.html

This finding places the vaccine one step closer to clinical trials in humans. The researchers publishing this study have developed whatâ€™s called a â€œwhole virusâ€ vaccine for Ebola. Viruses have proteins on their exterior and genetic material on their interior. Whole virus vaccines present the hostâ€™s immune system with multiple viral proteins and the viral genetic material. These vaccines trigger broader immune system responses than vaccines that only present a single protein from the virus. Whole virus vaccines have had widespread success in offering protection against potentially deadly diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza. http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/03/new-whole-virus-vaccine-for-ebola-effective-in-primates/

Researchers say this finding narrows down the options for what this mysterious substance might be. Dark matter is an invisible matter that makes up most of the mass of the universe.

Sierra Leone's president Ernest Koroma said the health crisis had become so serious, the future of the nation he governed was at stake. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-23/ebola-a-year-on/6342132

Ebola crisis: Medecins Sans Frontieres slams global response The delayed global response to the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa "increased the spread" of the virus, medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres has claimed. In a report, published one year after the outbreak was officially declared, the charity suggests early calls for help were ignored by local governments and the World Health Organization. More than 10,000 people have died - nearly all of them in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-32013533

Ebola outbreak: Here's where we are 1 year later (CNN)A year ago, when Dr. Stephane Hugonnet was dispatched to Guinea to investigate a series of unexplained deaths, he had little idea that he'd be contending with an outbreak that would quickly spread from a small southern rainforest village, across borders, and around the world. The Ebola outbreak, ravaging primarily Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, is a year old today. According to one official count, it's infected 24,000 people and killed 10,000. And it's managed to do so because of an institutional failure on several levels: weak public health systems locally and a painfully slow response globally. But in order to get to where we are, we need to go back to how it began. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/23/health/ebola-one-year-later/index.html

The answer is thought to lie in places like this â€“ vast tracts of African jungle where gorillas, bats and other animals suspected of spreading the virus share a shrinking ecosystem.

No trace has been found of the Boeing 777 aircraft, which disappeared a year ago this week carrying 239 passengers and crew, in what has become one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. MH370 vanished from radar screens shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, bound for Beijing, early on March 8. Investigators believe it was flown thousands of miles off course before eventually crashing into the Indian Ocean. The search of a rugged 60,000 sq km (23,000 sq mile) patch of sea floor some 1,600 km (1,000 miles) west of the Australian city of Perth, which experts believe is the plane's most likely resting place, will likely be finished by May. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/01/us-malaysia-airlines-australia-idUSKBN0LX1RS20150301

The giant appears to have swelled to its enormous size only 875 million years after the big bang, when the universe was just 6 percent of its current age.

It is less accurate than conventional tests, but takes minutes rather than hours to get a result. The test also works without electricity so it can be used in remote regions.

(Message 1643877) Posted 18 Feb 2015 by Lynn Post: New Horizons spots Plutoâ€™s smaller moons for the first time It's not exactly a clean shot, but it's certainly a timely one: 85 years to the day after Pluto's discovery, NASA has released fresh images from New Horizons that show two of its smaller moons. The long-exposure images, which were taken between Jan. 27 and Feb. 8 from a distance of 125 to 115 million miles, show Hydra and Nix -- moons too small to show up in previous shots. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/02/18/new-horizons-spots-plutos-smaller-moons/?tid=hpModule_9d3add6c-8a79-11e2-98d9-3012c1cd8d1e Hoping they find more moons.

Search for MH370 is taking place thousands of miles away in the wrong direction, insists oil rig worker notoriously fired for reporting he believed he saw jet 'on fire' An oil rig worker who was notoriously fired for saying he believed he saw MH370 'come down' today insisted he thinks the official search for the Malaysian jet is happening in the wrong place. In his first detailed interview since he sent out an email to officials relaying what he thought might be the Boeing 777 aircraft, Mike McKay, 57, told MailOnline: 'Almost a year has passed, but I stand by what I saw. 'I've thought about it and thought about it, over and over and while I cannot say for certain that the burning object in the sky was definitely MH370, the timing fits in with when the Malaysian plane lost contact. I have been trying to disprove that what I saw was the aeroplane ever since.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2951991/Search-MH370-taking-place-thousands-miles-away-wrong-direction-insists-oil-rig-worker-notoriously-fired-reporting-believed-saw-jet-fire.html

7676) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Raccoon Update XX I - All are welcome in the Critter Cafe (Message 1643431) Posted 17 Feb 2015 by Lynn Post: @angela _ I have had this a number of times before, and for the same reason. I am on of these unfortunate persons that do generate an excess of ear wax. Probably had the syringing 1/2 a dozen times over the years. What happens is that the hot water moistens the build up of wax enough to "re-arrange" it and deposit it against the ear drum itself, causing the temporary hearing impairment. I can hear traffic in the street quite well, if people speak up I can hear them quite well. TV at low levels I can't or if people speak softly. OK, maybe FOR ME 60% deafness than normal (feels like 80%) No major problem just a damn irritation. I explained the position to the receptionist and if she had felt it was anything THAT serious she would have whisked me in or told me to go to A&E. My GP practice is very good at all levels. Don't anyone use cotton buds to clean ears, one short jab too many and you can pierce an ear drum. IN any case it compacts the wax closer to the ear drum. Think of it like a book put on a snare drum, then try to drum on it ...... If it gets too anoying I'll buy some Otex ear drops, that might help in the short term. Didn't mean to be alarmist folks, honest .... Go see a doctor. Please :)

A number of large craters can be seen, notably on the shadowed right side of each image. The much-talked-about 'bright spot' can be seen near the top of the right hand image. It remains the most conspicuous feature on the planet. Greater resolution has nearly eliminated pixelation artifacts from the images. The 'bright spot' still appears to be approximately rectangular. Its long axis is nearly vertical, in the image. It appears to be about 20 miles wide, by 30 miles, top to bottom. See link, below, for new images: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA19056 Thanks Michael. So small and so mysterious.

Pupils welcomed the move, but some raised fears that the deadly disease had not yet been totally eradicated. Staff at school gates were equipped with thermometers to take pupils' temperatures and buckets of chlorinated water for them to wash their hands. Liberia was one of three West African states worst affected by the Ebola outbreak, identified in March 2013. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-31487988

Ebola crisis: Red Cross says Guinea aid workers face attacks Aid workers fighting Ebola in Guinea are being subjected to an average of 10 attacks every month, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says. The latest assault happened on Sunday when two Guinean Red Cross volunteers were beaten by locals while trying to conduct a safe burial, the group said. Last year eight aid workers were hacked to death in Guinea. It came as the US said it would pull out troops stationed in Liberia to help contain the virus. US President Barack Obama announced on Thursday that all but 100 of the soldiers remaining in the country would leave by the end of April.

I could fully retire right now, but I like the job and most of the people I work with. Okay then, best wishes for you Donald :-) My hubby was in the navy, but you outrank him.

TurboTax halts state filings amid fraud outbreak TurboTax has turned off the ability of its software to e-file state tax returns across the USA Thursday after the company found "an increase in suspicious filings," the company said Friday. The tax-preparation software company has found an increase in criminal activity where stolen personal data is used to file fake state returns with state authorities. This illegal act allows fraudsters to claim tax refunds from state governments. An internal TurboTax investigation has found the breaches are not due to a problem with its own systems, but criminals digging up the personal information elsewhere. The company said the investigation is ongoing. Intuit says it's working with state tax officials to get the e-filing security back to where it needs to be to turn it back on. TurboTax customers who already e-filed their state returns don't have to do anything. The returns will be transmitted again when the problem is resolved, TurboTax says. The e-filing halt only affect state returns. Federal tax returns can still be filed electronically. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2015/02/06/turbotax-state-filings-halted/22979519/

(Message 1637148) Posted 4 Feb 2015 by Lynn Post: Here's an update on My TV: I received a 1 way cable card today, that works somewhat better. Even this card has some issues with the card, mainly cause of a few channels, which I've now deleted from the TV's guide, this could be cause the 3 channels in question are graphics intensive and moving, the tv may not like that, for a bit until I deleted these troublesome channels(84, 164, and 214) the TV would not respond or would respond sluggishly, that's either the firmware or the cpu for the tv not being able to push enough pixels, this is a 9 year old tv. On the delivery of the firmware upgrade for My TV, I called the Post Office and talked to the Post Master there, She said I should try using the PO Box number as an Apartment number, that worked, I added that to My street address and so in 5-7 working days I should have My upgrade for the TV. I found out about the firmware cause Mitsubishi called today and they said they could not deliver to a PO Box, so after I called the Post Office and then called Mitsubishi back, I was told an apartment w/a street address would be just fine, all 3 calls about My tv were when I was in Barstow today, a successful day I'd think. I also got My 16"x19" reusable air filters in for My gas central heater in the mail, I'd ordered what I thought was only 2 filters, turns out I ordered 4 without knowing that, ok so I have 2 spares now. I called Mitsubishi about My problem with the WD-57731 TV with a 2 way cable card and was asked multiple times if Mitsubishi had called Me, I said No, My problem is the firmware is 9 years old and not totally compatible with a 2 way card, when the firmware was written only 1 way cards existed, most of the channels in My package don't show up as a result and the TV thinks more channels are being added, as it keeps scanning for new channels, I finally got the idea across that the US Post Office will hold packages that need to be signed for as long as there is a signature requirement, so that the recipient will sign for the package, Mitsubishi's normal policy is to only send parts to a customers street address through the US Mail, Problem is not everyone has mail delivery to the street address, for Mitsubishi this is impossible, and frustrating for the customer, no wonder Mitsubishi doesn't make or sell TVs anymore, who'd want to deal with them... On Tuesday Mitsubishi is supposedly going to ship the firmware I need, the part of Mitsubishi that deals with firmware issues was closed when I called today, since the firmware(a 'bios' to you PC users) I have is v33 008.00 and is really old... Now I just hope in a week this firmware will be in My hands ready to plug into a 1394 port on the back of My TV to update the firmware, My TV doesn't have usb ports at all. @ Blurf, I'm glad you didn't get pneumonia. @Vic, I'm happy for you, good day indeed :-)

The signal had been confounded by light emission from dust in our own galaxy. This is the conclusion of a new study involving the US-led BICEP2 team itself. A paper describing the findings has been submitted to the peer-reviewed journal Physical Review Letters. A summary was briefly posted on an official French website on Friday before being pulled. A press release was then issued later in the day, although the paper itself is still not in the public domain at the time of writing. A determination that BICEP2 was mistaken in its observations is not a major surprise. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31058529

Ebola Flare Ups Continue Where Victims Don't Trust Aid Groups GENEVA, Jan 30 (Reuters) - West Africa will be lucky to wipe out Ebola this year, as the local population remains suspicious of aid workers, especially in Guinea, the Red Cross said on Friday. The virus is "flaring up" in new areas in the region and not all infections are being reported, said Birte Hald, who leads the Ebola coordination and support unit of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. "We are also seeing that in places like Sierra Leone and especially in Guinea that it is flaring up in new districts all the time, with small new chains of transmission, which means that it's not under control and it could flare up big-time again," Hald told a news briefing in Geneva. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/30/ebola-flare-ups_n_6579046.html

AirAsia crash: 'Co-pilot was flying plane' The AirAsia plane that crashed into the Java Sea on 28 December was under the control of its co-pilot when it went down, Indonesian investigators say. The flight data recorder, retrieved along with the cockpit voice recorder earlier this month, showed Frenchman Remi Plesel was at the controls. Officials said it was common practice for the co-pilot to take charge. The plane was carrying 162 people from Surabaya to Singapore when it crashed. So far, 73 bodies have been recovered. Mardjono Siswosuwarno, head investigator of Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSB), said the flight data recorder had provided a "pretty clear picture" of what happened in the flight's last moments. Capt Plesel was in charge from take-off until the cockpit voice recording ends, he said, adding that this was common practice. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-31034135

The virus has slowed so much in Liberia that local officials are re-opening the schools there and global health officials say they can now shift into a new mode: trying to end the epidemic. Liberia reported just four new cases of Ebola last week â€” a far cry from 300 new cases per week reported there, on average, during August and September. That gives officials a break from scrambling just to isolate and treat patients. Now, they can really start working on putting out the embers of the epidemic. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebola-virus-outbreak/just-few-new-cases-ebola-liberias-kids-head-back-school-n296311 Like good news. :))))

Researchers at the Institut Pasteur in France, which first identified the outbreak last March, are investigating whether it could have become more contagious. More than 22,000 people have been infected with Ebola and 8,795 have died in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

The outermost planet orbits in the â€œGoldilocksâ€ zone, a region where surface temperatures could be moderate enough for liquid water and perhaps life to exist. A paper describing the find by astronomers at UC Berkeley, the University of Arizona, University of Hawaii, Manoa, and other institutions has been submitted to Astrophysical Journal and is freely available on the arXiv website. Perhaps we are finding now a more --Earth-like planet to investigate. What do we hear when we listen in this region?? Thanks William. They can listen in the region of space, but so far no signal.

If there is still no correct answer given, the poster may declare the panel stumped, give the answer, and post another picture. 5.

We've long been intrigued by the idea that we are not alone. The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) - was born from this curiosity - the use of sophisticated scientific methods to try to detect a signal coming from life elsewhere in the Galaxy. In the 1960s, radio astronomy was put to work in the search. Radio telescopes surveyed the sky, searching for something that might come from an alien civilisation. For years they heard nothing except the background hum of space. Then one day in 1977, a radio telescope in the US received a signal... BBC

NASAâ€™s Kepler Marks 1,000th Exoplanet Discovery, Uncovers More Small Worlds in Habitable Zones How many stars like our sun host planets like our Earth? NASAâ€™s Kepler Space Telescope continuously monitored more than 150,000 stars beyond our solar system, and to date has offered scientists an assortment of more than 4,000 candidate planets for further study -- the 1,000th of which was recently verified. Using Kepler data, scientists reached this millenary milestone after validating that eight more candidates spotted by the planet-hunting telescope are, in fact, planets. The Kepler team also has added another 554 candidates to the roll of potential planets, six of which are near-Earth-size and orbit in the habitable zone of stars similar to our sun. http://www.nasa.gov/press/2015/january/nasa-s-kepler-marks-1000th-exoplanet-discovery-uncovers-more-small-worlds-in/index.html#.VKxiHHsk5-w

Ebola Doctors Are Divided on IV Therapy in Africa Medical experts seeking to stem the Ebola epidemic are sharply divided over whether most patients in West Africa should, or can, be given intravenous hydration, a therapy that is standard in developed countries. Some argue that more aggressive treatment with IV fluids is medically possible and a moral obligation. But others counsel caution, saying that pushing too hard would put overworked doctors and nurses in danger and that the treatment, if given carelessly, could even kill patients. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/02/health/ebola-doctors-are-divided-on-iv-therapy-in-africa.html

The new research provides a snapshot of Europa's state of activity at that time, and suggests that if there is plume activity, it is likely intermittent. The Europa results are being presented today at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in San Francisco and published in the Astrophysical Journal. Europa is considered one of the most exciting destinations in the solar system for future exploration because it shows strong indications of having an ocean beneath its icy crust. http://www.nasa.gov/jpl/signs-of-europa-plumes-remain-elusive-in-search-of-cassini-data/index.html

Their research attempts to answer questions that remain about the â€˜arrow of timeâ€™ - which is the concept that time is â€˜symmetricâ€™ and everything moves forwards.

Like the proton, the new particles are made up of three quarks but are more than six times as massive. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/19/cern-physicists-two-new-subatomic-particles_n_6184878.html?utm_hp_ref=science Exciting!

Scientists now intend to use Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) to detect and measure dark matter, along with networks of ground-based atomic clocks, according to IBTimes. The matter we can see and touch explains only 5 percent of the mass and energy in the world, with dark matter and energy making up the remaining 95 percent. However, the 50,000-kilometer-network of GPS satellites could help scientists spot these rifts in space and better measure them. http://www.sciencerecorder.com/news/gps-and-atomic-clocks-find-dark-matter/

Unfortunately the Nobel Prize can only be given to three people. One was dead and the other 2 got it. I"ve just read on the New York Times that a Russian tycoon called Yuri Milner is giving prizes of three million dollars to 12 scientists, including Sam Perlmutter of UC Berkeley who already shared a Nobel prize in astrophysics. Another UC Berkeley scientist is Jennifer A.Doudna for research in biology with Emmanuelle Charpentier. The prizes have also been given to 5 mathematicians for which there is no Nobel prizes but only the Fields medal, with no money attached. The physicist forgotten by the Nobel Prize Committee for the Higgs boson is Jeffrey Goldstone, as also my friend Ben Segal of CERN agreed. Another who deserved it is Tullio Regge, who died at 81 a few days ago in his Torino.I have known him personally and he was a great man, not only a great physicist. Any physicist knows what a "Regge pole" is in elementary particle physics, but he also brought out new concepts in general relativity. Addio, Tullio. Tullio Thanks. The Scientific community, as of now is not agreeing they found Higgs.

8861) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : CERN (Message 1599308) Posted 10 Nov 2014 by Lynn Post: Theoretical physicists (I was one of them) are always ready to invent new particles (axions, neutralinos and now techni-quarks) and sometimes they are right (neutrinos) but this leaves the burden of finding them to the experimental physicists, who immediately demand a new accelerator to be built in order to detect them. So everybody is happy. Tullio Happy not finding the Higgs?? If not Higgs, what particle did they find.? Thanks Tullio:)

The video card he's putting in blocks the SATA ports on the motherboard; so, he's taking out the SATA drive and putting in an IDE drive, then has to reinstall Win 7 Pro. So, he's postponed delivery until this gets done. Maybe next week, or later. Not to bad, at least you get another cruncher :-)

But maybe it wasn't the Higgs particle, maybe it just looks like it. And maybe it is not alone.

Now, eight years after spotting this mysterious bit of atmospheric fluff, researchers have determined that it contains methane ice, which produces a much denser cloud than the ethane ice previously identified there. http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/nasa-identifies-ice-cloud-above-cruising-altitude-on-titan/index.html#.VE1urBZFrz8

Ebola found to be at least 16 to 23 million years old, according to study LONDON: A new study has re-written Ebola's family history. Ebola's evolutionary roots more ancient than previously thought, the study has found. The family of viruses housing Ebola and Marburg is ancient, and the two viruses last shared a common ancestor millions of years ago, scientists say.

Police Officer in Ferguson Is Said to Recount a Struggle WASHINGTON â€” The police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., two months ago has told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled over his gun with Mr. Brown, according to government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation into the matter. The officer, Darren Wilson, has told the authorities that during the scuffle, Mr. Brown reached for the gun. It was fired twice in the car, according to forensics tests performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The first bullet struck Mr. Brown in the arm; the second bullet missed. The forensics tests showed Mr. Brownâ€™s blood on the gun, as well as on the interior door panel and on Officer Wilsonâ€™s uniform. Officer Wilson told the authorities that Mr. Brown had punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck. This is the first public account of Officer Wilsonâ€™s testimony to investigators, but it does not explain why, after he emerged from his vehicle, he fired at Mr. Brown multiple times. It contradicts some witness accounts, and it will not calm those who have been demanding to know why an unarmed man was shot a total of six times. Mr. Brownâ€™s death continues to fuel anger and sometimes-violent protests. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/us/ferguson-case-officer-is-said-to-cite-struggle.html

Nurses say 'the guidelines were constantly changing' at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital - and claims hazardous waste was left to pile to the ceiling in the room that Duncan was being treated. Speaking at a hastily arranged press conference on Tuesday DeMoro and union co-director Deborah Burger alleged an unprofessional and careless approach to Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital, where Thomas Eric DUncan passed away last week. The specific claims made by DeMoro and Burger, if true, are 'startling' according to CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta. They include: Thomas Eric Duncan was not isolated immediately when he was admitted to the hospital with Ebola symptoms. He was 'left for several hours, not in isolation, in an area where other patients were present,' said Burger, who said that seven patients were in the vicinity of Duncan. A nursing supervisor faced interference from hospital chiefs when they demanded Duncan be isolated. The protective clothing the nurses were wearing when they initially treated Duncan left their necks exposed. When they reported this to their superiors, the nurses were told to use surgical tape and wrap it around their necks instead. 'They were told to use medical tape and had to use four to five pieces of medical tape wound around their neck. The nurses have expressed a lot of concern about how difficult it is to remove the tape from their neck,' said Burger. The nurses made the shocking allegation that during Duncan's care, hazardous waste was dumped in a room and built up to the ceiling. Ultimately, according to DeMoro and Burger, the nurses feel 'unsupported, unprepared, lied to and deserted', especially in light of CDC Director Thomas Frieden's assertion that a 'breach in protocol' led 26-year-old nurse Nina Pham to become infected. "This nurse was being blamed for not following protocols that did not exist. ... The nurses in that hospital were very angry, and they decided to contact us," DeMoro said. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2792457/Ebola-patient-cared-70-hospital-staffers.html

The statement painted a portrait of carelessness, with nurses who interacted with Duncan wearing flimsy gowns and protective gear that left parts of their bodies exposed. "Nurses had to interact with Mr. Duncan with whatever protective equipment was available at the time when he had copious amounts of diarrhea and vomiting, which produces a lot of contagious fluid," Burger said. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/14/ebola-nurses_n_5986468.html

They do make note of the fact that non-human primates, bats, and rodents are suspected to be capable of carrying the disease, and contact with blood or secretions from these animals, or the ingestion of infected meat, may lead to transmission of the disease to a person. Bats are the most likely source, according to the CDC, at least in the case of the most recent disease outbreak being experienced in West Africa.

Don't be too sure, Julie... http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ebola-questions-20141007-story.html#page=1 Some Ebola experts worry virus may spread more easily than assumed . . . Dr. C.J. Peters, who battled a 1989 outbreak of the virus among research monkeys housed in Virginia and who later led the CDC's most far-reaching study of Ebola's transmissibility in humans, said he would not rule out the possibility that it spreads through the air in tight quarters. "We just don't have the data to exclude it," said Peters, who continues to research viral diseases at the University of Texas in Galveston. Dr. Philip K. Russell, a virologist who oversaw Ebola research while heading the U.S. Army's Medical Research and Development Command, and who later led the government's massive stockpiling of smallpox vaccine after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, also said much was still to be learned. "Being dogmatic is, I think, ill-advised, because there are too many unknowns here." . . . As to your earlier statement in another post: One thing I strongly believe is Ebola is easily contained with a modern health care system such as the US or other industrialized countries possess. Well... By and large you and many others have justification for this belief... But, by the same token... Surely you can see that all the F.U.B.A.R. in Dallas with the the Duncan case, combined with the case of the Spanish Nurse (as an experienced Nurse in dealing with cases such as this, knowing to follow ALL protocols to the letter... combined with her being sick with a Fever for a WEEK before she sought treatment at the hospital and was diagnosed with Ebola)... Well, these two cases should begin to punch at least a few small holes in everyone's faith in the system... Either she broke protocols... or it is at least partially airborne... or both. Pucker Factor 9.9 Its time, imo, for everyone to rethink travel restrictions. Maybe not time for an outright ban... But I think that a 3-week quarantine on EVERYONE coming in from at least nations with active cases in the last 3 weeks, no exceptions is a sensable precaution. (note: this quarantine list now INCLUDES the USA and Spain.) MajorKong, I agree with you.

Miscommunication at hospital led to Dallas Ebola patient's release The first patient diagnosed in the United States with the Ebola virus has been identified as Thomas Eric Duncan of Liberia. Duncan, identified by The Associated Press, remained in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Wednesday in serious condition. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition Sunday from a home in the Vickery Meadow neighborhood of northeast Dallas. Duncan had sought treatment at the hospital two days earlier, but was sent home with antibiotics. During that first visit, his sister told AP, Duncan informed emergency room workers that he was from Liberia, the West African nation hardest hit by Ebola. â€œRegretfully that information was not fully communicated throughout the full team,â€ said Dr. Mark Lester, executive vice president of Texas Health Resources. Lester said the team thought Duncan had a "low-grade common viral disease." United Airlines says Duncan is believed to have taken United Flight 951 from Brussels to Washington Dulles and Flight 822 from Dulles to D/FW International Airport on Sept. 20. Duncan, who is in his mid-40s, came in contact with 12 to 18 people after developing symptoms of the deadly disease, health officials said Wednesday during a news conference at Presbyterian. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/metro/20140930-miscommunication-at-hospital-led-to-dallas-ebola-patient-s-release.ece He helped a pregnant woman in Liberia.

9343) Message boards : Politics : Ebola and Infectious diseases (Message 1580276) Posted 30 Sep 2014 by Lynn Post: Ebola confirmed in Texas patient; First case diagnosed in U.S. Last Updated Sep 30, 2014 6:28 PM EDT The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the first case of Ebola virus diagnosed in United States. The patient, still not identified, had recently flown here from Liberia to visit family, officials said. He was admitted on Monday to an isolation unit at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas to be tested for Ebola after he began exhibiting symptoms. "This is the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S., and the first case of this strain of Ebola diagnosed outside Africa," CDC Director Tom Frieden said at a news conference Tuesday evening. Frieden sought to reassure the public, stating "I have no doubt that we will control this importation, this case of Ebola, so it will not spread widely in this country." Frieden said the patient left Liberia on Sept. 19 and arrived in the United States the next day to visit family. He was not experiencing symptoms at the time, and therefore would not have been contagious to any other travelers. "There is zero risk of transmission on the flight," Frieden said. "Ebola doesn't spread before someone gets sick, and he didn't get sick until four days after he got off the airplane. So we don't believe there was any risk to anyone on the flight." He declined to release any details about the man's itinerary or flight numbers. Ebola cannot be transmitted through the air, but only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of people who are infected and exhibiting symptoms. Frieden said the patient started to develop symptoms on Sept. 24, initially sought treatment on Sept. 26, and was admitted to the hospital in Dallas on Sept. 28, where he was placed in isolation. He was tested for Ebola on Monday and the results came back positive today. "We will contact anyone we think has any likelihood of having had contact with the patient when he was infectious," Frieden said, presumably starting with the relatives the patient was visiting. He said the process of tracing those contacts was still in the early stages. The virus has killed more than 3,000 people across West Africa and infected a handful of American health care workers who were working in the region. In August, American missionary Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantley contracted Ebola at the treatment center where they were working in Liberia. Both were flown to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta in strict medical isolation and both recovered. A third patient, Dr. Rick Sacra, was also evacuated from West Africa and treated at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, where he recovered earlier this month. The CDC has said 12 other people in the U.S. have been tested for Ebola since late July, including a man at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, but all of those tests came back negative. This is a developing story and will be updated. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ebola-confirmed-in-texas-patient-first-case-diagnosed-in-u-s/

The person, whose identity was not released, left Liberia on September 19 and arrived in the United States on September 20, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC. At that time, the person did not have symptoms. "But four or five days later," that person began to show symptoms, Frieden said. The person was hospitalized and isolated Sunday at a hospital in Texas. Frieden sought to play down the risk to public health. "It's a severe disease, which has a high case fatality rate, even with the best of care, but there are core, tried and true public health interventions that stop it," he said of Ebola. "The bottom line here is that I have no doubt that we will control this importation or this case of Ebola so that it does not spread widely in this country," Frieden said. A number of other Americans have been diagnosed with the disease in West Africa and then brought to the United States for treatment. The person who first tested positive for Ebola in the United States is a patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/30/health/ebola-us/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

But I did what I have always done for all the cats over the last 30 years here, picked a rose from where she liked to sunbathe and put it with her. I'd like to think she was looking down and appreciated the gesture, but I will never know, it gave me comfort anyway. ..... Thank you for all your kind thoughts, it is much appreciated. I just feel I'm getting too old for all this raw emotion, you'd think it would get easier over time, but it doesn't seem to. I would have the guts to give the armed forces an order for combat if I had to, yet I can fall apart at the seams over a cat.

If we trip across life that's not of this world, do we blast it or befriend it? What impact would it have on our society? This was the topic of a two-day symposium held at the John W. Kluge Center of the Library of Congress last week. Several dozen researchers -- astronomers, philosophers, theologians, biologists, historians, and other tweed-jacketed specialists -- opined on what might happen should we find we're not alone. A lot of the discussion, unsurprisingly, was about discovering life that's intelligent. This prompted a symposium leitmotiv that was dished out repeatedly: when thinking about aliens, beware of anthropocentrism.

MAVEN will observe the Martian upper atmosphere, including keeping an eye on just what effect the solar wind and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have on the red planet. Such observations not only help us understand the history of what led to the desert surface we see today, but also pave the way for protecting astronauts on future visits. CME Week: Coronal Mass Ejections at Mars September 23, 2014 Two main types of explosions occur on the sun: solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Unlike the energy and X-rays produced in a solar flare â€“ which can reach Earth at the speed of light in eight minutes â€“ coronal mass ejections are giant clouds of solar material that take one to three days to reach Earth. Once at Earth, these ejections, also called CMEs, can impact satellites in space or interfere with radio communications. During CME Week from Sept. 22 to 26, 2014, we explore different aspects of these giant eruptions that surge out from the star we live with. http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/coronal-mass-ejections-at-mars/index.html Video included with link.

Harvard-led teamâ€™s cosmic inflation discovery uncertain For months, astrophysicists have been hoping that data from the European Planck satellite would bring clarity to a Harvard-led teamâ€™s measurement that could either help explain the first moments of the universe, or might turn out to be merely galactic dust. The results are finally out, and so is the verdict. In March, researchers gathered in Cambridge to announce that they had measured a swirly polarization pattern of light from the ancient universe using a South Pole telescope called BICEP2. This was considered smoking gun evidence in favor of the theory of cosmic inflation -- the â€œbangâ€ of the Big Bang. Within a few months however, outside researchers had begun to raise serious doubts about whether the groundbreaking measurement might have a more mundane explanation: starlight scattering off galactic dust. http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/science/2014/09/22/was-just-dust-harvard-led-team-cosmic-inflation-discovery-uncertain/c9b2ZkOrwJFJNlmNWLMsGJ/story.html

No wreckage has been found, but satellite communication with the jet indicates that the aircraft turned around and headed south, running out of fuel over the Indian Ocean. http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/missing-flight-mh370-search-to-resume-9744519.html Good Luck with the search.

Hurtling through space for the past 10 months, the Maven craft must slam on the brakes by firing its thrusters. The 33-minute burn should remove sufficient speed to allow the satellite to be captured by Mars' gravity.

Despite these setbacks, officials said most of Sierra Leone's 6 million people were complying with orders to stay at home as nearly 30,000 volunteers and health care workers fanned out across the country to distribute soap and information on how to prevent Ebola. The virus, spread by contact with bodily fluids, has killed than 560 people in Sierra Leone and more than 2,600 in West Africa since the outbreak began last December, according to the World Health Organization. It is killing about half of the people it infects. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EBOLA?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-09-20-12-55-28

So far, other than a few patients evacuated by air ambulance from West Africa, there have been no known cases of Ebola-infected people traveling from that region to other parts of the world. But could that luck be running out? Every month, week and day that the Ebola epidemic continues to rage, the chances of exportation to other countries increases. But at the moment, the likelihood of an Ebola victim landing, unchecked, in the United States is fairly small, according to researchers who have run computer simulations of air travel between affected countries and other parts of the world. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2014/09/19/ebola-in-the-u-s-dont-bet-on-it/

9494) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : The Top Science Mysteries (Message 1574110) Posted 18 Sep 2014 by Lynn Post: Last one. (3) Can Humans Become Immortal? The fact that everybody dies at the end has so far been an undeniable fact of life. But is that truly inevitable? Research into the possibility of prolonging life is proceeding in several directions. One such effort concentrates on an enzyme called telomerase, which was shown to slow down the death of cells, by arresting the age-induced shortening of the protective tips at the ends of chromosomes (known as telomeres; Figure 3). Experiments done with mice in recent years did demonstrate a reversal in the aging process through telomerase reactivation. Whether or not similar effects can be obtained in humans is still an open question. Another direction of research, taken, for instance, by the New England Centenarian Study, is to examine in detail the genes of a couple thousand people who have reached the age of 100 for clues as to their unusual longevity. Finally, some scientists, such as computer scientist and futurist Ray Kurzweil, argue that nanotechnology could produce tiny "maintenance" robots that would circulate through the human body and repair age-related damages. The lesson from all of these "mysteries" is clear. There is no shortage of fascinating open questions in science, and I feel confident in predicting that even if the particular mysteries that I have listed here are solved, new, exciting ones will emerge.

9517) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : The Top Science Mysteries (Message 1573697) Posted 18 Sep 2014 by Lynn Post: 2) Is the Speed of Light the Ultimate Speed Limit? According to Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, the speed of light in vacuum (about 186,000 miles per second, or about 300,000 kilometers per second) is the maximum speed at which matter, energy, or information can travel. If not for this limit, causality would be violated. In other words, effects would be observed prior to their causes. This is not to say that nothing can move faster than light. For example, spacetime itself can stretch faster than the speed of light, and indeed it apparently had done so, during the brief period at the beginning of our universe known as "cosmic inflation" (see for example the discussion at: Eternal Inflation). Quantum entanglement presents a phenomenon in which information at least appears to be transmitted faster than light. The idea is that when a property of one member of a pair of "entangled" particles (e.g., photons that have been prepared in a particular combination of their polarizations; Figure 2) is measured, the value of that property for the other member of the pair can be determined instantaneously. A simple classical analogue of this situation would be if someone puts each shoe of a pair into a separate box without telling you which shoe is in which box. Then she sends one box to London and leaves one with you. Clearly, as soon as you open your box and see that it contains the left shoe, you instantaneously know that the box in London contains the right shoe. The precise implications of this so-called "spooky action at a distance" are still an active research area.

9540) Message boards : Politics : Ebola and Infectious diseases (Message 1572898) Posted 16 Sep 2014 by Lynn Post: Will the Ebola virus go airborne? (And is that even the right question?) The Ebola virus, which has killed more than 2,400 people during the ongoing epidemic in West Africa, spreads through contact with bodily fluids. That means you can catch it from infected blood, for example, or if you come in contact with vomit from an Ebola patient. You can't catch it from breathing in the same air as someone suffering from Ebola â€” at least you can't right now. But as the virus continues to spread and mutate, could airborne transmission become a concern? http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2014/09/15/will-the-ebola-virus-go-airborne-and-is-that-even-the-right-question/ Why cant a cough or a sneeze not spread it. Ever see a slow mo of someone sneezing? Thats liquid being sprayed at high velocity. Thats one way the common cold spreads. I think they are a bit ignorant on how ebola gets tranmitted. You hit the nail on the head here James. And you are right, Lynn (in the post James quoted)... It is not the right question. Ebolavirus IS capable of airborne transmission, and has been for quite some time. The question, Lynn, should be: Is the Ebolavirus currently circulating in the West African outbreak capable of Reliable airborne transmission between humans? The Reston Ebolavirus outbreaks in the USA (1989-1990, 1996) were airborne between monkeys. In the Reston, Virginia 1989 outbreak 6 humans also caught the virus. You may say that the Reston Ebolavirus is not the one currently circulating in West Africa, and you would be correct. You can also say that Reston Ebolavirus is not pathogenic in humans at this time, and you would also be correct. However the Reston Ebolavirus is most closely related to the Sudan Ebolavirus which IS deadly in humans (though not as deadly as the Zaire Ebolavirus currently circulating in West Africa). You could also say that the Reston Ebolavirus is not found in the wild in Africa, and you would be correct. But it IS found in the wild in a number of other areas, namely Bangledesh, the People's Republic of China, and the Philippines (source of the US outbreaks). So let is concentrate then on the Zaire Ebolavirus. The Zaire Ebolavirus (more specifically the Kikwit 95 strain of Zaire Ebolavirus) has been shown to be airborne transmissible between pigs and monkeys back in 2012 (well before the current outbreak). The research paper: http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/121115/srep00811/full/srep00811.html Its abstract: Ebola viruses (EBOV) cause often fatal hemorrhagic fever in several species of simian primates including human. While fruit bats are considered natural reservoir, involvement of other species in EBOV transmission is unclear. In 2009, Reston-EBOV was the first EBOV detected in swine with indicated transmission to humans. In-contact transmission of Zaire-EBOV (ZEBOV) between pigs was demonstrated experimentally. Here we show ZEBOV transmission from pigs to cynomolgus macaques without direct contact. Interestingly, transmission between macaques in similar housing conditions was never observed. Piglets inoculated oro-nasally with ZEBOV were transferred to the room housing macaques in an open inaccessible cage system. All macaques became infected. Infectious virus was detected in oro-nasal swabs of piglets, and in blood, swabs, and tissues of macaques. This is the first report of experimental interspecies virus transmission, with the macaques also used as a human surrogate. Our finding may influence prevention and control measures during EBOV outbreaks. So, is the currently circulating strain(s) of Zaire Ebolavirus in West Africa capable of reliable airborne transmission in humans? At this time, it does not appear to be so. That said, we do not and can not know for sure. It is, after all, both ethically and morally wrong to experiment with it on humans. We will not know for sure until it starts happening, and then it will likely be too late. Dr. Michael T. Osterholm's op-ed in the NYT the other day has been widely criticized by other experts in the field, but not because he is wrong. He is being criticized because they feel it was counter-productive, and the criticisms that I have read say so. It is in everyone's best interests to contain Ebola outbreaks ASAP, for reasons outlined in Osterholm's NYT Op-Ed (rapid mutation, etc.). However, the time to do so was MONTHS AGO. It is on the verge of being too-little, too-late. The West Africa outbreak is too large at this time to easily contain, and inadequate efforts to do so could actually spread it further. Remember, in one of the affected nations, over one third of that nation's physicians have ALREADY DIED in the outbreak. Standard medical responses are quite counter-productive. You need somewhat expensive enhanced measures to protect against the 'bodily fluids' transmission. But even these 'enhanced' measures currently in use will fail if/when it goes airborne. By the time we figured out that it had gone airborne, it would be too late and we will have already widely spread it through the relief effort. We need to prep our response FROM THE START to be against an airborne Ebola pathogen. Yes, it will be hideously expensive, but we can not afford to not do so. ALL aid workers (doctors, nurses, others) MUST HAVE FULL Level-4 protective gear and be trained in its use. Any aid worker that has been exposed needs to be immediately slapped into full quarantine isolation. Any/all aid workers need to be sent FOR THE DURATION. No rotation back to the USA. We do NOT need Ebola making it to the USA (or any other nation). Even in its current 'bodily fluids' transmission mode, it would be BAD if it did. Almost no hospitals and very few research labs in the USA are up to full level-4 standards in their construction, their equipment, and their staff training. In war, it is said that the most expensive army in the world is the one that is 2nd best. A similar statement could be made about Ebola. The most expensive response would be one that wasn't up to the task. Lynn, in another post to this thread said that he/she was more concerned with ISIS/ISIL/whatever its called today. Sorry, but they are nowhere near the threat currently that Ebola is. I disagree with your statement most emphatically. Yes, ISIS/ISIL could blow up a few things in the USA, and maybe behead a few more US Citizens. But they are chicken-feed compared to Ebola. If Ebola gets over here, we are talking a 50% to 90% death rate, and there would basically be two sorts of doctors. Those that died of it, and those that ran away and hid when the first reports hit. ISIS/ISIL can irritate us. Ebola can kill most of us, and totally end civilization as we know it. Sorry for my comments. :( You might be correct.

Was it a terrorist attack? Was there a mechanical failure that led to a crash? Did the plane go down over land or water? Were there any survivors?

Vaccine gives monkeys Ebola immunity Vaccinated monkeys have developed "long-term" immunity to the Ebola virus, raising a prospect of successful human trials, say scientists. The experiments by the US National Institutes of Health showed immunity could last at least 10 months. Human trials of the vaccine started this week in the US and will extend to the UK and Africa. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29076371

Re: what Glenn and Wiggo have been saying... as far as I know dengue isn't species reliant like say malaria is (or used to be - don't know if that's changed :( let's hope not!) With dengue, any mosquito can get infected from biting an infected human. It doesn't get sick - but it stays infected for the rest of its life and so transmits the disease onwards. I actually caught it from a tick bite - my own fault I'm sure... I did love making friends with wild animals :) still do really :) But the tip about not leaving standing water around and/or uncovered is a good one. It doesn't take a lot of the wet stuff to get a ton of the buzzy ones :/ Glad you and Wiggo, cleared up Dengue fever.

It really is widespread and likely to become more so unfortunately. I think it's one of those diseases that have been neglected - like ebola. Unlike ebola however, most people recover fine - although as soon as they have immunity to one strain of the virus, they are at high risk of getting very ill indeed if they fall ill with another strain of it. I'm shocked to hear you had the fever Annie. Glad you recovered. I've heard of the disease, just not in detail as described by you, Annie. Horrible to even think one strain and another. :( Glenn Wrote: yes Lynn Dengue fever is becoming a problem here in Australia as it spreads father down south more Australians will be exposed to it and we have known about it for a few years now so to Australians it is not new news It's spread buy Mosquitoes .

No exposed ice is discerned at all, accenting this dark surface. That's hard to understand, given that faint jets of vapor have been detected leaving the nucleus. The usual understanding of how a comet works, is that it emits vapor which sublimes directly from ice exposed to the heat of the Sun. Thanks Michael. This is from NASA. The instrument, named Alice, began mapping the cometâ€™s surface last month, recording the first far-ultraviolet light spectra of the cometâ€™s surface. From the data, the Alice team discovered the comet is unusually dark -- darker than charcoal-black -- when viewed in ultraviolet wavelengths. Alice also detected both hydrogen and oxygen in the cometâ€™s coma, or atmosphere. Nothing more till November.
