Americans exposed to Ebola patient return from Africa for monitoring- CNN Fifteen American aid workers who had high-risk exposure to Ebola in Sierra Leone have arrived back in the United States since Friday for monitoring, according to a spokesman. None is known to be infected with the disease, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman Tom Skinner said Tuesday. The returning workers are clinicians for Partners in Health, a Boston-based aid group. They all had contact with a colleague who's been diagnosed with the disease and is being treated at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. The heath care worker with Ebola was in critical condition Monday, the NIH said. That changed from the NIH saying on Friday that the patient was in serious condition. Details about the patient's identity weren't released.
It's not over: Veterans waiting months for appointments- CNN Thousands of veterans who are patients at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System have been waiting months just for an appointment, CNN has learned.What's more, administrators in charge of the massive VA facility in greater Los Angeles may have been hiding wait times, and may have misled Congress on the delays and exactly how long veterans are being forced to wait for care, according to new information obtained by CNN.
This revelation means that the scandal over delays in care and wait times for veterans, which embroiled the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs last year and even led to the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, is apparently not over. And the changes promised by the VA and the Obama administration may not be working. The detailed new evidence comes from the Los Angeles VA's own internal documents obtained by CNN, and numerous medical and administrative sources confirmed the information.It is particularly significant as the Greater Los Angeles Veterans Medical Center is the nation's largest VA health care system, caring for hundreds of thousands of U.S. veterans. The VA documents show more than 12,700 appointments, which the VA calls consults, had been waiting more than 90 days to be addressed, as of mid-January.
Italian fashion designer, Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce, are being boycotted due to certain comments made about vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF is the process of fertilization by manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish, and then transferring the embryo to the uterus. This process was described by Dolce as unnatural and that babies produced from this method are "synthetic". Such comments degrading this process caused offense which in turn led to the boycott of their clothes.

bout 16.4 million people have gained health insurance coverage since the Affordable Care Act became law nearly five years ago, according to government estimates released Monday.
The coverage gains have delivered the largest drop in the uninsured rate in four decades, bringing that rate down to 13.2% by the end of the first quarter of 2015, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday. That's down from about 20% before the health insurance marketplaces launched in late 2013.
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said the numbers prove "the Affordable Care Act is working, and families, businesses and taxpayers are better off as a result."
Burwell credited the drop to key provisions of Obama's signature health reform law, from the expansion of Medicaid to new tax credits and a provision allowing young people under 26 to stay on their parents' health care plans.
About 2.3 million of the 16.4 million who have gained coverage under Obamacare are adults under 26 who were able to remain on their parents' plan.
Obamacare delivered the biggest gains among Latinos, for whom the uninsured rate fell by 12.3% since the first enrollment period in Oct. 2013. The uninsured rate among Latinos remains the highest, though, with about 29.5% of Latinos lacking health coverage.
The uninsured rate among African-Americans has been nearly halved -- dropping to 13.2% from 22.4% -- and 5% more white Americans are now insured.
The health insurance law has remained a lightning rod among Republicans and conservatives who continue to slam the law as a government overreach.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the latest challenge to Obamacare this summer -- about three years after the Supreme Court upheld the law as constitutional. The latest challenge specifically tackles subsidies under the law.
Republicans in Congress have vowed to fight for the law's repeal, but in the face of Democratic opposition to a full repeal and the threat of President Barack Obama's veto, it is all but certain the law will remain through Obama's presidency.
Gunmen killed 17 tourists and two others one of them a Tunisian security officer on Wednesday at a museum in Tunisia's capital in what the North African nation's Prime Minister called a "cowardly" terrorist. Tunisian security forces managed to kill two attackers and end a hostage siege at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, Prime Minister Habib Essid. But the bloodshed isn't necessarily over, with Essid saying that authorities are looking for three other gunmen. It's a cowardly attack mainly targeting the economy of Tunis, the Prime Minister said. We should unite to defend our country.The scene played out in the heart of Tunisia's capital, in a building linked to where the nation's parliament meets and in an area frequented by tourists.
At least two cruise ships were docked in Tunis at the time. The Costa Fascinosa carried more than 3,000 passengers, said Costa Cruise, its parent company. And some guests of the MSC Splendida were on tours at the Bardo Museum on Wednesday, said MSC, its parent company.

He suggested that the terrorists wanted to hurt Tunisia's economy by going after tourists.

Despite roots in community service and brotherhood, inappropriate behavior at fraternities can be so common that often, no one blinks an eye.But a spate of recent disgraces -- from racist lyrics to nude photos of incapacitated women -- have prompted suspensions, expulsions and a much more serious look at what some fraternities really stand for.
"I happen to believe fraternities and sororities are a good thing. I happen to believe they do a lot of good work in society," CNN political commentator Marc Lamont Hill said. "I know a lot about black Greek letter organizations that do a tremendous amount of service in the public interest. So I don't want to dismiss all of it."But Frank Bruni, author of "Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be," said while we can't stereotype fraternities, "we can take note of what they are."
"And what they are is they are exclusive societies -- many of them, not all of them -- that let in like-minded individuals who can then exist in a very homogenous environment," he said. "That strikes me as something that's at odds with what we really want colleges to be."Here are some of the disturbing incidents that have made the news this month alone:
Thornton is Georgia's only player with NCAA Tournament experience. That makes the senior even more important entering Friday's game against Michigan State in Charlotte, North Carolina.
He has made sure his teammates cherish Georgia's first appearance in the tournament since 2011.
"I've told guys about this experience," Thornton said. "It's such a unique and great experience. I was telling the guys it's my favorite memory."
Another senior, Nemanja Djurisic, said Thornton's words made an impact.
"He's the only guy," Djurisic said. "You can see through his determination and his will and his leadership that he knew how good it is and how special the moment is. He was eager to help us through good and bad to get us in there."
The return to the tournament is a reward for Thornton's difficult career. He overcame two knee surgeries, including one which led to a medical redshirt in the 2012-13 season.
Thornton was a backup when Georgia lost to Washington in the NCAA's first round four years ago. He says the long-awaited return has given him an opportunity to reflect on his career.

The Justice Department releases a report showing that the Ferguson Police has discriminated against and violated the constitutional rights of the city's African-American residents. Using data from 2012-2014, the report includes stats such as 93% of the arrests made during that time were black citizens, based on an African-American population of 67% in Ferguson, Missouri. The report includes examples of racist remarks used in emails and interviews by Ferguson police and court officials, as well as incidents of tasers and dogs being used in excess on African-Americans. Through the emails and statements by police and court officials, the report also shows how those officials have been more focused on generating revenue, through fines and fees, than on the safety of the city's citizens. Overall, the report proves that the police department and city officials have been biased against the African-American citizens of Ferguson. Along with releasing the report, the Justice Department, which began their investigation into Ferguson after last year's shooting of Michael Brown, says it will not prosecute the shooter Darren Wilson. (March 11): Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson resigns. Five other employees resign or are fired after the Justice Department released its report, including a municipal judge and the city manager. (March 12): During a protest, two St. Louis-area police officers are shot in front of the Ferguson Police Department. Both officers are seriously wounded. However, their injuries are not life threatening. The shots are believed to have come from a gunman on a hill more than 200 yards away from the police station, according to witnesses. A manhunt is underway for the shooter. (March 15): Twenty-year-old Jeffrey L. Williams is arrested and charged with shooting the two officers. Williams says he shot the two police officers by accident from a car. He claims he was shooting at someone else. Williams has been charged with first-degree assault. The shooting has increased tension between demonstrators and police in Ferguson.

Don't get it twisted: Bill Cosby is not going to let you tell his story for him.It is literally a rainy night in Georgia when hundreds of fans gather at the William B. Bell Memorial Auditorium in Augusta for a Cosby comedy concert.Outside, people scurry in to avoid the weather. The rain has vanquished the signs Deann Veteto placed earlier that say "Shame on you, Bell Auditorium" and proclaim that the comedian has broken her heart.
Inside the more than 2,600-seat auditorium, such unpleasantness doesn't exist.The legendary performer pauses his monologue a time or two with a warning for audience members who affectionately try to finish his jokes or share asides.I'm telling this story," he says with a half-smile, half-grimace.By now, the world knows there is at least one narrative Cosby can't control.
17-year-old Kylie Jenner donned a revealing bathing suit during a photo shoot in the Hollywood Hills on Tuesday ... and did we mention she's 17? Last week, Kylie's 25-year-old boyfriend Tyga finally confirmed their relationship by posting a pic of 17-year-old Kylie with the caption, "Certain things catch your eye, but only few capture the heart." It's unclear where the pics from this photo shoot will end up getting published, but we'd suggest ... Seventeen magazine. Fun fact: Kylie Jenner is only 17-years-old. TMZ Drake was manhandled at a club in Dubai, which triggered a melee that put the aggressor where he belongs ... on the ground. Drake and his crew were at Movida nightclub Saturday night, along with a huge crowd ... Dubai does it big.

But security jumps in and gets the job done STAT. BTW, Drake was in the country as a guest of the royal family. It's unclear if members of the family were on hand when Drake was assaulted.
The South Beach Diet has quickly captured the hearts and stomachs of dieters. Because of the buzz its been getting at the watercooler and at parties, its fast becoming one of the most popular carb-control plans. Developed by Miami cardiologist Arthur Agatston, MD, director of the Mount Sinai Cardiac Prevention Center, the diet is meant to promote weight loss but not at the expense of heart health. Unlike other wildly popular low-carb plans, South Beach calls for keeping tabs on saturated fats and favors lean meats and proteins over bacon, cheeseburgers, and steak. South Beach Diet is lumped together with other low-carb plans, it takes a decidedly different and healthier approach to protein and fat. Agatston contends that weight loss is just one of the priorities of the diet (the other is healthful levels of cholesterol and other blood fats). As with other low-carb diets
Measles Cases Spread in the United States in January: A measles outbreak is spreading from California into other states. According to health officials, 59 cases have been diagnosed in California so far, with eight more in Utah, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Mexico.

In 2014, there were 644 measles cases from 27 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I strongly believed the fraternity members were very child-like and disrespectful for uploaded inappropriate pictures of the fellow women. Due to their violation of the respect of others, they should have consequences being applied. No one should do such things like that to others. This is such a cold world and others should be respectful of others and be cautious of what you do online .

The NBA MVP race remains as close as last week, although none of the top players were able to make major moves. Excellent performances were mixed in with poor ones, so nothing much has changed. 1. James Harden Harden's perch atop these rankings was ripe for the taking after two poor performances in consecutive losses for the Rockets. But nobody stepped up quite enough to wrestle it away from him, and it helped that he finally got over whatever spell the Clippers had on him in previous games.
Harden has been mostly a disaster against the Clippers since becoming a Rocket, and he shot a combined 12-of-37 overall and 3-of-18 from the three in the first three meetings this season. But in Sunday's fourth and final meeting, the shooting guard put up 34 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in a last-second victory. He shot 7-of-16 overall, 3-of-5 from three and a whopping 17-of-18 from the charity stripe in the victory.

The show about the passionate Lyon family and the drama surrounding them and their record label has been a TV phenomenon, with ratings growing weekly. Its soundtrack scored a rare success this week, debuting in the No. 1 spot on Billboard's top 200 album chart, topping Madonna's "Rebel Heart."
Danny Strong told Deadline that he and fellow "Empire" creator Lee Daniels have steered the series to be both socially conscious (issues of race and sexuality were central to the plot) and night-time soapy.
"I think that's one of the secrets of success to the show," Strong said. "That it's working on both levels, and the layered character drama grounds the juicy soap turns. So the soap turns are a blast, but we have this drama there that also keeps it emotional and real."

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, one of the CIA's staunchest defenders, lashed out at the agency in March 2014, accusing it of spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee, hacking the committee's computer network, covering up the agency's torture and detention program, and potentially violating the constitution. Charges not to be taken lightly. And they weren't. After her speech on the Senate floor, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced it will investigate the accusations. Many predicted that this was just the beginning of a scandal that could become one of the most controversial in recent year.
he co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 purposely crashed the plane into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board, officials said We at Lufthansa are speechless that this aircraft has been deliberately crashed by the co-pilot," said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings.Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said the co-pilot, 28-year-old German national Andreas Lubitz, apparently "wanted to destroy the aircraft."
It's unknown whether Lubitz planned his actions, Robin said. But he "took advantage" of a moment in which the pilot left the cockpit and "activated the descent," which can only be done deliberately.
Andreas Lubitz Andreas Lubitz New details released Thursday appeared to support the startling revelation that someone set the plane on a crash course.
Transponder data shows that the autopilot was reprogrammed during the flight by someone inside the cockpit to change the plane's altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet, according to Flightradar24, a website that tracks aviation data.
The plane's cockpit audio recorder captured horrific sounds. The captain, somehow locked out of the cockpit, can be heard banging on the door, Robin said.
And screaming can be heard on the audio recording for the final few minutes of the flight.
Death was instantaneous for those on board when the plane plunged into the mountains, Robin said.
German authorities also say "that we have to assume" that Flight 9525 "was deliberately activated for a crash," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. "This is hard to comprehend for most people. Nobody can imagine this."
The French government has asked the FBI to help investigate the crash, a law enforcement official said.
A search is underway for the plane's second "black box," the flight data recorder, which could shed more light on the plane's final minutes.
n a rare moment of bipartisanship bringing House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi together, the House passed the so called "doc fix." The House passed it overwhelmingly, 392-37.
The bill permanently fixes Medicare reimbursement for doctors. It also includes a two year extension for a popular children's health insurance program and money for community health centers.
The Senate could act quickly on the measure before they go into recess this week.
Speaking in Birmingham, President Barack Obama said he spoke to Boehner and Pelosi to congratulate them after the bipartisan legislation passed the House on Thursday.
He told the lawmakers, "this is how Congress is supposed to work," and said he hoped the Senate will pass the measure so he can sign it.
"They did good work today. And the House of Representatives deserves credit for that," Obama said in some extremely rare praise for Congress.

bout 16.4 million people have gained health insurance coverage since the Affordable Care Act became law nearly five years ago, according to government estimates released Monday.
ReplyDeleteThe coverage gains have delivered the largest drop in the uninsured rate in four decades, bringing that rate down to 13.2% by the end of the first quarter of 2015, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday. That's down from about 20% before the health insurance marketplaces launched in late 2013.
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said the numbers prove "the Affordable Care Act is working, and families, businesses and taxpayers are better off as a result."
Burwell credited the drop to key provisions of Obama's signature health reform law, from the expansion of Medicaid to new tax credits and a provision allowing young people under 26 to stay on their parents' health care plans.
About 2.3 million of the 16.4 million who have gained coverage under Obamacare are adults under 26 who were able to remain on their parents' plan.
Obamacare delivered the biggest gains among Latinos, for whom the uninsured rate fell by 12.3% since the first enrollment period in Oct. 2013. The uninsured rate among Latinos remains the highest, though, with about 29.5% of Latinos lacking health coverage.
The uninsured rate among African-Americans has been nearly halved -- dropping to 13.2% from 22.4% -- and 5% more white Americans are now insured.
The health insurance law has remained a lightning rod among Republicans and conservatives who continue to slam the law as a government overreach.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the latest challenge to Obamacare this summer -- about three years after the Supreme Court upheld the law as constitutional. The latest challenge specifically tackles subsidies under the law.
Republicans in Congress have vowed to fight for the law's repeal, but in the face of Democratic opposition to a full repeal and the threat of President Barack Obama's veto, it is all but certain the law will remain through Obama's presidency.

ReplyDeleteDespite roots in community service and brotherhood, inappropriate behavior at fraternities can be so common that often, no one blinks an eye.But a spate of recent disgraces -- from racist lyrics to nude photos of incapacitated women -- have prompted suspensions, expulsions and a much more serious look at what some fraternities really stand for.
ReplyDelete"I happen to believe fraternities and sororities are a good thing. I happen to believe they do a lot of good work in society," CNN political commentator Marc Lamont Hill said. "I know a lot about black Greek letter organizations that do a tremendous amount of service in the public interest. So I don't want to dismiss all of it."But Frank Bruni, author of "Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be," said while we can't stereotype fraternities, "we can take note of what they are."
"And what they are is they are exclusive societies -- many of them, not all of them -- that let in like-minded individuals who can then exist in a very homogenous environment," he said. "That strikes me as something that's at odds with what we really want colleges to be."Here are some of the disturbing incidents that have made the news this month alone:

"He's the only guy," Djurisic said. "You can see through his determination and his will and his leadership that he knew how good it is and how special the moment is. He was eager to help us through good and bad to get us in there."
The return to the tournament is a reward for Thornton's difficult career. He overcame two knee surgeries, including one which led to a medical redshirt in the 2012-13 season.
Thornton was a backup when Georgia lost to Washington in the NCAA's first round four years ago. He says the long-awaited return has given him an opportunity to reflect on his career.

Gunmen killed at least 19 people in Tunisia's capital today. This took place at the Bardo Museum in Tunis. The police had a gunfight with the terrorist and were able to eliminate two of the gunmen. Prime Minister Habib Essid believes that this attack is very cowardly and says that the attack was an attack not on the people of Tunis but an attack on the economy of Tunis.

ReplyDeleteThe Justice Department releases a report showing that the Ferguson Police has discriminated against and violated the constitutional rights of the city's African-American residents. Using data from 2012-2014, the report includes stats such as 93% of the arrests made during that time were black citizens, based on an African-American population of 67% in Ferguson, Missouri. The report includes examples of racist remarks used in emails and interviews by Ferguson police and court officials, as well as incidents of tasers and dogs being used in excess on African-Americans. Through the emails and statements by police and court officials, the report also shows how those officials have been more focused on generating revenue, through fines and fees, than on the safety of the city's citizens. Overall, the report proves that the police department and city officials have been biased against the African-American citizens of Ferguson. Along with releasing the report, the Justice Department, which began their investigation into Ferguson after last year's shooting of Michael Brown, says it will not prosecute the shooter Darren Wilson. (March 11): Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson resigns. Five other employees resign or are fired after the Justice Department released its report, including a municipal judge and the city manager. (March 12): During a protest, two St. Louis-area police officers are shot in front of the Ferguson Police Department. Both officers are seriously wounded. However, their injuries are not life threatening. The shots are believed to have come from a gunman on a hill more than 200 yards away from the police station, according to witnesses. A manhunt is underway for the shooter. (March 15): Twenty-year-old Jeffrey L. Williams is arrested and charged with shooting the two officers. Williams says he shot the two police officers by accident from a car. He claims he was shooting at someone else. Williams has been charged with first-degree assault. The shooting has increased tension between demonstrators and police in Ferguson.

Drake was manhandled at a club in Dubai, which triggered a melee that put the aggressor where he belongs ... on the ground.
Drake and his crew were at Movida nightclub Saturday night, along with a huge crowd ... Dubai does it big. Watch the video closely ... you'll see the guy grab the back of Drake's head and shove it down.
Drake is clearly pissed off, and gives the guy a death stare. But security jumps in and gets the job done STAT.
BTW, Drake was in the country as a guest of the royal family. It's unclear if members of the family were on hand when Drake was assaulted.
The South Beach Diet has quickly captured the hearts and stomachs of dieters. Because of the buzz its been getting at the watercooler and at parties, its fast becoming one of the most popular carb-control plans. Developed by Miami cardiologist Arthur Agatston, MD, director of the Mount Sinai Cardiac Prevention Center, the diet is meant to promote weight loss but not at the expense of heart health. Unlike other wildly popular low-carb plans, South Beach calls for keeping tabs on saturated fats and favors lean meats and proteins over bacon, cheeseburgers, and steak. South Beach Diet is lumped together with other low-carb plans, it takes a decidedly different and healthier approach to protein and fat. Agatston contends that weight loss is just one of the priorities of the diet (the other is healthful levels of cholesterol and other blood fats). As with other low-carb diets

I strongly believed the fraternity members were very child-like and disrespectful for uploaded inappropriate pictures of the fellow women. Due to their violation of the respect of others, they should have consequences being applied. No one should do such things like that to others. This is such a cold world and others should be respectful of others and be cautious of what you do online .

About 16.4 million people have gained health insurance coverage since the Affordable Care Act became law nearly five years ago, according to government estimates released Monday.The coverage gains have delivered the largest drop in the uninsured rate in four decades, bringing that rate down to 13.2% by the end of the first quarter of 2015, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday. That's down from about 20% before the health insurance marketplaces launched in late 2013.
ReplyDeleteThe Affordable Care Act is working, and families, businesses and taxpayers are better off as a result.Burwell credited the drop to key provisions of Obama's signature health reform law, from the expansion of Medicaid to new tax credits and a provision allowing young people under 26 to stay on their parents' health care plans.About 2.3 million of the 16.4 million who have gained coverage under Obamacare are adults under 26 who were able to remain on their parents' plan. Obamacare delivered the biggest gains among Latinos, for whom the uninsured rate fell by 12.3% since the first enrollment period in Oct. 2013. The uninsured rate among Latinos remains the highest, though, with about 29.5% of Latinos lacking health coverage.The uninsured rate among African-Americans has been nearly halved -- dropping to 13.2% from 22.4% -- and 5% more white Americans are now insured.

The NBA MVP race remains as close as last week, although none of the top players were able to make major moves. Excellent performances were mixed in with poor ones, so nothing much has changed.
ReplyDelete1. James Harden
Harden's perch atop these rankings was ripe for the taking after two poor performances in consecutive losses for the Rockets. But nobody stepped up quite enough to wrestle it away from him, and it helped that he finally got over whatever spell the Clippers had on him in previous games.
Harden has been mostly a disaster against the Clippers since becoming a Rocket, and he shot a combined 12-of-37 overall and 3-of-18 from the three in the first three meetings this season. But in Sunday's fourth and final meeting, the shooting guard put up 34 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in a last-second victory. He shot 7-of-16 overall, 3-of-5 from three and a whopping 17-of-18 from the charity stripe in the victory.

ReplyDeletehe co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 purposely crashed the plane into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board, officials said
ReplyDeleteWe at Lufthansa are speechless that this aircraft has been deliberately crashed by the co-pilot," said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings.Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said the co-pilot, 28-year-old German national Andreas Lubitz, apparently "wanted to destroy the aircraft."
It's unknown whether Lubitz planned his actions, Robin said. But he "took advantage" of a moment in which the pilot left the cockpit and "activated the descent," which can only be done deliberately.

New details released Thursday appeared to support the startling revelation that someone set the plane on a crash course.
Transponder data shows that the autopilot was reprogrammed during the flight by someone inside the cockpit to change the plane's altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet, according to Flightradar24, a website that tracks aviation data.
The plane's cockpit audio recorder captured horrific sounds. The captain, somehow locked out of the cockpit, can be heard banging on the door, Robin said.
And screaming can be heard on the audio recording for the final few minutes of the flight.
Death was instantaneous for those on board when the plane plunged into the mountains, Robin said.
German authorities also say "that we have to assume" that Flight 9525 "was deliberately activated for a crash," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. "This is hard to comprehend for most people. Nobody can imagine this."
The French government has asked the FBI to help investigate the crash, a law enforcement official said.
A search is underway for the plane's second "black box," the flight data recorder, which could shed more light on the plane's final minutes.

He told the lawmakers, "this is how Congress is supposed to work," and said he hoped the Senate will pass the measure so he can sign it.
"They did good work today. And the House of Representatives deserves credit for that," Obama said in some extremely rare praise for Congress.
