The Ebola response team in @placeholder recently saw 30 people finish the 21-day risk period -- the longest time period during which Ebola symptoms have been known to be present. | There are nine of us from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention in Lagos, Nigeria. We arrived from different U.S. states, or from the CDC's polio team already in Nigeria, and possess varying skill sets, including infection control, global migration and quarantine, data management, epidemiology and communications. We're here to work with colleagues and partners from Nigeria's Ministry of Health, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders and the World Health Organization to stop the largest Ebola outbreak in history -- the first in a densely populated, urban environment. Nigeria is the latest country to become affected by the outbreak. The first person to die of Ebola here was an American named Patrick Sawyer, who arrived from Liberia. Now WHO suspects Nigeria has had 12 cases and three deaths.

Rouhani's statements are unlikely to sit well with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has said any long-term agreement with Iran over its nuclear development must lead to the dismantling of the country's nuclear capability.

Just after a violent flare on its parent star bathed it in intense X-ray radiation, the planet HD 189733b's atmosphere gave off a powerful burst of evaporation. Hubble found that the planet's upper atmosphere was streaming away at speeds exceeding 300,000 mph.

Ron Jones, 96, was held in E715 - a prisoner of war camp alongside the main Auschwitz extermination camp in Poland - after being captured by German troops during World War II. He said the soldiers were terrified. 'We did not know what would happen to us. We thought at one time they would stick us in the gas chamber,' said Ron.

‘It’s not my concept of sexuality to do it with a prostitute,’ @placeholder said, adding that he preferred the ‘party atmosphere’ of partner-swapping and swinging. | The pimping case against former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn looks to have collapsed, after the prosecutor called for all charges to be dropped. 'Neither the judicial enquiry nor the hearing' proved Strauss-Kahn was guilty of procuring prostitutes for sex parties he attended in Paris, Brussels and Washington, prosecutor Frederic Fevre said. He added DSK's 'notoriety shouldn't be in any way a presumption of guilt' and the decision to acquit was 'pure and simple'.

A little-known account has emerged of how six of the Terra Nova's stranded explorers lived for seven months in an Antarctic ice cave, until they were strong enough to embark on a 200-mile trek for survival. Photographs, documents and drawings which detail the party's monumental struggle for survival have emerged 100 years after the doomed expedition - and they are due to be sold at auction.

@placeholder's government has said that opposition-supported militants are responsible for the violence. | Yemeni women defiantly burned their traditional veils Wednesday in protest of President Ali Abdullah Saleh's brutal crackdown on anti-government demonstrations. Thousands of women gathered in the capital, Sanaa, said witnesses. They carried banners that read: "Saleh the butcher is killing women and is proud of it" and "Women have no value in the eyes in Ali Saleh." They collected their veils and scarves in a huge pile and set it ablaze -- an act that is highly symbolic in the conservative Islamic nation, where women use their veils to cover their faces and bodies. It's the first time in the nine months of Yemen's uprising that such an event has occurred.
