The man, whose identity and nationality have not been released by health authorities, flew from Liberia, the hardest hit nation in West Africa's deadly Ebola outbreak, to Texas to visit family.
An apparent miscommunication among hospital staff left the man in the open community and contagious for four days, and he even came in contact with schoolchildren before he was finally isolated in a hospital, officials said Wednesday.
"I know that parents are being extremely concerned about that development," said Texas Governor Rick Perry.
"These children have been identified and they are being monitored and the disease cannot be transmitted before having any symptoms."
Just asking, because these so-called safety protocols have already failed.
Or we could ask Ebola patient zero out of Dallas, Texas - the first man diagnosed with Ebola outside of Africa anywhere - who recently went to the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital A) with flu-like symptoms combined with B) a recent trip home from Liberia, Africa six days prior, one of the Ebola-ravaged hot zones.
Comment: Surely, patient zero must've infected hospital staff and patients in the ER as well. This situation is beyond control. Hopefully, loyal readers have been prepping their diets and stocking up on vitamin C.
After police arrived on the scene of her Tallahassee, Florida, neighborhood, 62-year-old Viola Young asked them why they were there. Told to turn around, Young did so and walked away. While walking away, at just about 2:31 in this video shot by a local resident, the officer brutally uses his stun gun to tase Young in the back. Immediately, she falls flat on her face. It's brutal.
No charges have been brought and the officer is currently on paid leave.

All German Universities will be free of charge as of this year. The last German area to remove fees, Lower Saxony, has officially done so, in what promises to be a historic moment for German (and European) education. A different, more efficient education
Education in most of Europe is already very different from what it is in the US, Canada, or Australia. In several countries from the Old Continent (most notably Scandinavian countries - Sweden, Norway and Denmark) education has been free for several years, and other countries are starting to follow suite.
"Tuition fees are socially unjust," said Dorothee Stapelfeldt, senator for science in Hamburg, which scrapped charges in 2012. "They particularly discourage young people who do not have a traditional academic family background from taking up studies. It is a core task of politics to ensure that young women and men can study with a high quality standard free of charge in Germany."
Indeed, the general trend seems to be to reduce or eliminate tuition fees for higher education. The notable exception here is Great Britain. With some exceptions (like for example Welsh Universities being free for Welsh people), the UK tuition fees that are starting to rival those in the US. But it seems more logical to treat higher education like an investment in the country's future, and not like a private company. It seems logical for the government to support higher education from taxes, thus investing in its future.

Earl Theriot, sex offender, ex-cop.
Earl Theriot, sex offender, ex-cop.
Theriot managed to escape jail time, while taking just a $2,500 fine and 2 years probation. This sentence is more lenient than a small marijuana possession charge in most states. Theriot believes that the "embarrassment" that him and his family have faced as a result of the scandal, and the loss of his job, is fair punishment for the crimes that he committed.
"It's a matter that cost me my law enforcement career and brought embarrassment to my family and town of Sorrento," Theriot said in court after the sentencing, according to WAFB9.
In court, Theriot apologized to his family and to the city, but did not apologize to the victim. While on duty last November, Theriot received a call about an unresponsive woman who was passed out at a gas station. Theriot responded to the call, placed the woman in the passenger seat of his patrol car and took her to his office. On the way to his office, Theriot stopped at a liquor store and picked up a bottle of vodka, which he intended to share with the woman. While in his car, he admitted to groping the woman and violating her while she was unconscious.
Comment: Sick and twisted cops taking advantage of people whom they're supposed to protect, happens every day.
Those who live in Donbass have many times reported «mysterious graves» findings. Two movable crematoriums have been bought in Germany to get rid of the bodies. The burnt soldiers were reported to be missing in action. Many corpses have been burnt without registration and leaving any trace whatsoever. On September 23, 332 Ukrainian military were put into grave near Dnepropetrovsk without making precise the names of the perished. Only 22 names were known. On September 22, in Zaporozhye 55 unrecognized corpses of Ukrainian soldiers were buried. In Dnepropetrovsk 11 more unrecognized servicemen, who had lost their lives in Ilovaisk, were put into grave.

In response to Cameron's remarks equating people, who question 9/11 and 7/7 attacks in the US and UK as well as the West's policy towards the Middle East, with Takfiri preachers who radicalize extremists, Nick Kollerstrom handed himself in.
"As the evidence emerges about the backgrounds of those convicted of terrorist offences, it is clear that many of them were initially influenced by preachers who claim not to encourage violence, but whose world view can be used as a justification for it. And we know what this world view is, the peddling of lies: that 9/11 was a Jewish plot or the 7/7 London attacks were staged; the idea that Muslims are persecuted all over the world as a deliberate act of Western policy," Cameron said while addressing the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 25.
Explaining his actions to the Press TV correspondent in London, Kollerstrom said, "David Cameron has redefined terrorism at the UN to include people, who believe that the London bombings involve government complicity, were to some degree arranged, which I certainly do believe, and I've published a book on the subject and also I believe the 9/11 was an inside job. I do think Islamic nations are being selectively targeted, it's perfectly obvious, and if the police force are going by his directive what constitutes terrorism, it seems to me that they need to arrest me." The Press TV correspondent was present while Kollestrom handed himself in.
"We want to report a possible terror threat, we've got a bit of evidence and wonder if we could come in and report it," Kollerstrom said at Scotland Yard headquarters in London.
The British police refused to arrest Kollestrom, but he said that Cameron's definition of nonviolent extremism will lead to the arrest of many Muslims, who share his views, and described it as another example of racial profiling.
Comment: In related news, Cameron has also vowed to revivify the wars on non-mind-altering drugs, affluent poverty, educated illiteracy and sane politicians... Does Cameron realize what a fool he makes of himself on a regular basis? Somehow we doubt it.

People in Lugansk carry the bodies of those killed during an artillery attack on the city.
People in Lugansk carry the bodies of those killed during an artillery attack on the city.
It's going to be a big deal.
The increasing news flow about the extreme brutality of the Kiev regime and the massive neo-nazi presence in its ranks, is snowballing, and, we are sure, will end up being a huge embarrassment for the EU States and the US who have embraced Kiev.
This is especially true for Germany, which is hyper-sensitive to nazi questions.
Listen to the Saker, we couldn't have said it better ourselves:
Today, buried 9 minutes into the latest edition of the Channel 1 news report on Russian television, was a 23 seconds long statement by Latvian Human Rights investigator Enorst Gronych who declared on camera that he has interviewed the people of a village recently evacuated by the Junta's repression forces who had told him about "repeated cases of gang rapes of minor girls aged 12, 13 and 14 years old" by Ukrainian thugs.
According to Gronych, this kind of pattern falls within the definition of "genocide".

The confrontation late Sunday in the Port Orange eatery resulted in the arrest of Mikie Sawyer on a felony charge for battering a person over the age of 65.
Harry Sander told police that he was at the Applebee's bar when he heard Sawyer "talking obscenities." Sander said that he approached Sawyer "and asked him politely if he could please stop using the 'fuck' word and stop talking so loud about 'titties and ass,'" according to a police report.
After Sawyer replied that he did not have to stop cursing, Sander noted that in his home country of Germany, "you don't speak in such a manner." A witness told a Port Orange Police Department officer that Sawyer replied, "I don't care where you are from whether it be Russia or Dutch take your ass to the other side of the bar."
Sawyer then allegedly punched Sander in the face and pushed the pensioner to the Applebee's floor. Sander "stated he does not remember much after that moment." Sander's left eye was red and his left cheek was "discolored and bruised," noted investigators, who added that Sawyer's knuckles "appeared discolored and bruised."
The elderly victim was treated for his injuries by emergency medical services who responded to the Applebee's.
Comment: Another psychopath with no concern for the moral (or legal) consequences of his actions. Sick!
Comment: There is much evidence to suggest that Ebola has become airborne, and it seems incredulous, that hospital staff could have been so negligent.
