The number of confirmed Ebola cases passed the 10,000 mark over the weekend, despite efforts to curb its spread.
And while the disease typically dies on surfaces within hours, research has discovered it can survive for more than seven weeks under certain conditions.
During tests, the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) found that the Zaire strain will live on samples stored on glass at low temperatures for as long as 50 days.
In show biz, “perky” is a compliment – and usually wins you big perks – but when “The View” producers summoned newbie co-host ROSIE PEREZ to a serious meeting, they stuttered and stammered a bit before finally ordering her to … er, keep those pesky poppers covered … er, nip them suckers in the bud … or, er, nip ’em before they bud … or … JUST STOP ‘EM POPPIN, ROSIE!
“It was hilarious,” said an insider. “Everyone, even the women, got embarrassed, using euphemisms to warn her about covering up her stand-up nipples – and it took Rosie a minute to get abreast of what they meant by ‘the issue.’ But when she finally got it, she said sweetly, ‘No problem’ – and now slips small pads into her bra. Ironic, really, because Rosie’s breasts are considered to be among the best in the business, but … !”

The violence occurred after a recent homecoming concert. “Police on scene called for back up,” reported Gabrielle Enright of WHIO. “Using the code 99, meaning an officer was in trouble.”

Pepper spray finally did the trick. Much to the consternation of Ms. Gant, a CSU student: “All that force was not necessary,” she declared.
Three people were arrested and charged with misdemeanors.
At Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, police say they kind of expect it there too:
In September, a group of 40 in a “black mob went door to door to the white frat houses trying to get into private parties,” said one member of local law enforcement. “They forced their way into the last house, dragged several into the street and beat them. Three white kids were hospitalized. The state’s attorney won’t charge mob action because the white kids tried to fight back.”
“I have not personally seen the video but it was described to me by people who worked the case. One of the attackers was beating an unconscious white kid, knocked his teeth out. Another had a bottle broken over his head,” said the law enforcement official.
Local media’s account of the violence was curiously antiseptic, making it seem this was just some of the usual college hijinks that sometimes get out of hand.
It was not. Nine black people were arrested on various charges of assault.
Less than a month later, it happened again. Also at NIU. This time, the large group of black people tried to force their way into the Hispanic fraternity, Alpha Psi Lambda. They were also turned away.
