Instead of steering clear of crowds after his recent return from Guinea, the 33-year-old took an Uber car to Williamsburg where he visited the one of the trendy neighborhood's bowling alleys--either Brooklyn Bowl or The Gutter--according to Free Williamsburg.

The findings, published Monday in the journal Lancet, suggest that Ebola cases could be spread overseas by unwitting travelers from the worst-hit countries...The upshot is "that controlling the outbreak at the source is the most important thing that needs to happen" to prevent the international spread of the virus, said Kamran Khan, an infectious disease physician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and lead author of the study.

ISIS shows off new weapons allegedly airdropped by US 21 Oct 2014 Islamic State has published a new video in which a jihadist shows off brand-new American hardware, which was purportedly intended for the Kurds they are fighting in the Syrian border town of Kobani. The undated video, posted by the unofficial IS mouthpiece "a3maq news", sees a jihadist showing several boxes of munitions with English-language markings, with a parachute spread out on the ground beside. Although it is unclear what was the bundle shown in the video, the militant explains that "this is some of the military equipment that was dropped by American forces." [LOL! US tax dollars at work: Feeding I-CIA-SIS is a top priority. Keep shuttin' off Detroit's water, though! Start reading.]

US jury convicts Blackwater guards in 2007 killing of Iraqi civilians 22 Oct 2014 Three security guards working for the private US contractor mercenary firm Blackwater have been found guilty of the manslaughter of a group of unarmed civilians at a crowded Baghdad traffic junction in one of the darkest incidents of the Iraq war. A fourth, Nicholas Slatten, was found guilty of one charge of first-degree murder. All face the likelihood of lengthy prison sentences after unanimous verdicts on separate weapons charges related to the incident. The Nisour Square massacre in 2007 left 17 people dead and 20 seriously injured after the guards working for the US State Department fired heavy machine guns and grenade launchers from their armoured convoy in the mistaken belief lie that they were under attack by insurgents.

U.S. weighs passport, border changes in wake of Ottawa attack 23 Oct 2014 U.S. officials are debating whether to tighten controls on the border with Canada and make it easier to revoke the passports of suspected militants, steps that could gain traction following two attacks in Canada this week. The officials cautioned on Thursday that the discussions are in preliminary stages and that no immediate action appeared likely by either U.S. President Barack Obama's administration or Congress. While there was no specific evidence of a new threat in the United States, federal and state authorities were on a heightened state of alert following a gunman's attack in Ottawa on Wednesday and another by an assailant in Quebec on Monday.

Christie says GOP gubernatorial candidates need to win so they control 'voting mechanisms' 22 Oct 2014 Governor Christie pushed further into the contentious debate over voting rights than ever before, saying Tuesday that Republicans need to win gubernatorial races this year so that they’re the ones controlling "voting mechanisms" [!?!] going into the next presidential election. Republican governors are facing intense fights in the courts over laws they pushed that require specific identification in order to vote and that reduce early voting opportunities. Critics say those laws sharply curtail the numbers of poor and minority voters, who would likely vote for Democrats. Christie stressed the need to keep Republicans in charge of states -- and overseeing state-level voting regulations -- ahead of the next presidential election.
