Disasters Pose Leadership, Political Challenges for US Presidents
Nov 1st 2012, 23:57

President Barack Obama says he is pushing federal agencies to do everything possible as quickly as possible to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. For many politicians, how they respond in a crisis can affect how voters perceive them. Just a week before the U.S. presidential election, Hurricane Sandy battered huge areas of the U.S. East Coast. President Obama suspended campaigning to oversee the response. "The election will take care of itself next week.  Right now our number one ...

Life regained some semblance of normalcy on Thursday for New Yorkers affected by superstorm Sandy, as public transportation started to come online and millions of people returned to work.  But for those hardest hit by Sandy, the National Guard delivered ready-to-eat meals and bottled water. New Yorkers are known for their toughness and sometimes their testiness.  But on Thursday, despite long lines for buses from the borough of Brooklyn to Manhattan, most New Yorkers were in a good ...

With limited subway and bus service restored, the hardship caused by flooding and power outages in New York City has begun to ease since Monday night, when Hurricane Sandy struck the U.S. East Coast.  But for thousands of residents from low-lying areas in New York who were evacuated to temporary shelters, the dislocation and struggle continue.

A scientific investigation has concluded one elephant has learned to speak at least six words of Korean. He is Koshik, a 22-year-old resident of South Korea's largest theme park in Yongin, who can repeat with startling clarity - and matching both pitch and timbre patterns - what his trainer says, including "annhyeong," the Korean word for "hello" and "joah" - meaning "good." "We found that Koshik's imitations were very similar in the ...

Nov 1st 2012, 21:00

A traffic accident in Tokyo resulted in thick mounds of fire-extinguishing foam spilling on to a major downtown street, snarling traffic for both motorists and pedestrians. Firefighters shoveled, kicked and poured water on the waist-deep foam in an attempt to clear the area. Tokyo police told The Associated Press news service a 58-year-old truck driver accidentally drove into a pipe connected to a fire sprinkler about midday Thursday.

Color-Coded HIV Test Detects Infection Quickly and Cheaply
Nov 1st 2012, 20:12

Researchers have developed a new test for HIV - the virus that causes AIDS - that is reported to be ten times more sensitive and much less expensive than existing methods.  The new test could significantly improve diagnosis and treatment in the developing world. The new HIV blood test uses microscopic gold flecks, or nanoparticles, to detect the presence of an HIV marker - a viral protein called p-24 - in the patient's blood serum, according to Molly Stevens, a professor of ...

Hurricane Sandy Reignites Climate Change Debate
Nov 1st 2012, 21:01

The devastation to New York City and the eastern seaboard of the United States from Hurricane Sandy has reignited the debate over global warming.  Many experts believe the warming of the planet is largely caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Hurricane Sandy cut power to about 8 million homes, shut down 70 percent of East Coast oil refineries, and will exceed, economists say, the $15 billion worth of damage caused last year when Hurricane Irene hit New York.  New York State ...
