Technical note: We've clustered all Ebola stories on Page 3: Signs, Portents and the Weather. It's definitely a regional pandemic, with the potential to become a worldwide one (we're overdue, 'tis claimed), and this way patterns will be more apparent.

o Woman arrived at the jobcentre with a high fever, then collapsed
o Hundreds of visitors and staff in the building were held for several hours
o The suspected Ebola victim has been taken to Berlin's Charite hospital
A woman was rushed to hospital and hundreds of people were quarantined today after she showed symptoms of Ebola virus infection in a jobcentre in Germany.
As many as 600 visitors and staff at the employment office building in Berlin were also stopped from leaving for several hours as emergency services sealed off part of the street.
The mass-circulation daily Bild said the woman had fainted, that she hailed from Nigeria and that she said later that she had recently been in contact with people infected with Ebola.
Several people who had been with the woman inside the building in the north-eastern district of Prenzlauer Berg were later taken to hospital for testing.
He said the testing in the city's Charite hospital would take some time.
'The patient was isolated inside the ambulance, the staff took the appropriate protective measures. An emergency medic, the public health officer, arrived and the necessary precautions were taken,' he added.
European countries have been taking precautions against a possible spread, with Berlin's Charite hospital, where the woman showing symptoms was taken today, last week holding a photocall for the media to publicise its readiness.

Cheap labor actually only applies to owners of companies who simply transfer the costs to everyone else to cover the various 'perks' of western socialism (food,housing,medical,etc). Now it could be said that in the end all consumers pay the costs, but direct costs avoid the expense, in money and power, of bureaucracies used to administrate those costs.

Building on the opening comments from the Periwinkle Mistress, Mrs. Ret. has been told in the hallowed halls of NHOH at NASWI there will be no more discussions of Ebola for fear of panicking the population. It had been a regular topic @ their staff meetings, but no more. But it is known there that the State Dept is slowly pulling there embassy pers from many o'seas locations as well as some non-essential DOD types.

Pro Russian militia near Lugansk in southeastern Ukraina have shot down a Ukrainian Air Force SU-25, according to Russian English language reports.
The fate of the pilot is unknown, except that it is known he did eject. The shoot down is the third downed Ukrainian combat aircraft in a week. Earlier two MiG-29 ground interdiction aircraft were shot down, also near Lugansk. One pilot escaped while the other was captured.
The SU-25 is a dedicated ground interdiction aircraft which is said to be very difficult to bring down. Pro Russian nationalists fighting the Ukrainian government have no antiaircraft means except for manpacked missiles and some antiaircraft guns.
In and around Ilovaisk, about 17 kilometers due east of Donetsk, heavy fighting continues, as pro Russian militia continue to claim that several Ukrainian military units are pinned down and unable to break out in "fire sacks".
According to pro Russian militias, Ukrainian forces delivered a counterattack using elements of the "Avov", "Dniepr", "Donbass" and "Right Sector" police units. A northern sector of Ilovaisk has been taken by a unit of the "Donbass" battalion, but since the fighting is so heavy, the situation as of the end of the day is unclear.
Ukrainian military forces were prevented by militia from taking the city center, but remain in the suburbs.
The day before Ukrainian forces claimed to have several militia units surrounded, but today Ukrainian press is silent on the issue.
Shelling continues, especially against Donetsk, which is the chief prize in the war.
According to information presented in the pro Russian Voice of Sevastopol, Ukrainian artillery units are firing white phosphorus rounds into Dontetsk. Gunfire was reported in the Kievsky district, and rocket artillery strikes were reported overnight in Shirokoye and on Pinter street (in district Tekstilshchik).

Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan reported that only three of the 78 protesters arrested last night during last night's clash between the police and protesters in Ferguson were actually from the city on Tuesday's "The O'Reilly Factor."
He stated that there were, "78 arrests, just three of them here from the town of Ferguson." Harrigan added that there were "a lot from Missouri, but some came from as far away as California and New York." And that there are "some concerns from police that rioters are using the demonstrations as a cover, a cover to launch some attacks against police."

As much as they are trying to milk this, the Dems have a huge problem with what is going on.
The message these protests are trying to send is that if a black person attacks a white person any time, anywhere, for any reason, the white person should just stand there and take it without resistance.
Because racism.
Despite the fact that we have a large, vocal and well placed bunch with a bully pulpit that actually believe this (the NPR-listening pseudointellectual crowd), this ultimately will not play well to the electorate at large.
The whole issue of overly militarized civilian police officers is important but it needs to be considered differently from the reason for the initial attack.

What was the percentage breakdown by dem, rep, tea party?

...but it's known. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. who have been victims. The list continues to grow. The word spreads. So does the real seething. We may have reached the point where the socialist are motivating more to turn out against their machine than they're going to get to show up at the polls in November with such exploitations public morality plays.

It does kinda make one wonder who might put them up to such mischief.

I'd wager the Chief of Police of Ferguson has a thumb drive full of hospital photos of a severely beaten Officer Wilson.
Assaulting a police officer is still a felony. So the 'Gentle Giant' was terminated during the commission of felony assault, and the issue is where.........?

Having traveled a number of times from California to Missouri and back again I can tell you that it takes a few hundred bucks at least. How many of these miscreants can come up with even that kind of money just so they can make trouble in Ferguson? Can we please get some enterprising journalist to follow the money?

I wouldn't be opposed if they passed a law making it a felony to cross-state boundaries in order to riot. Cross-state boundaries to protest but if you go there to break and steal things they should toss you in the clink for a couple of years.

Hey Johnson, you were supposed to make this shit go away fix this situation. My governorship and Donk support from Washington is at risk! What kind of Affirmative Action appointment are you anyway ?
Not that the media spends as much effort on black teenagers shooting of other people. In practice, they intentionally hide the perps identification in those instances. That which is rare gets bucket loads of print and hours of coverage. That which happens daily is buried.
I was in a place like that this one time; there was a dude hired as a gunslinger - all he did was watch customers and vibe, "You can call me Doc Holliday: don't act a fool." Safest place in the neighborhood.
