Sep 17th 2012, 13:41

In June 2011, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization officially declared that the deadly animal disease rinderpest had been eradicated. The disease devastated livestock and lingered in Africa long after being eliminated in developed countries. But while a vaccine put a halt to rinderpest, eradication would not have occurred nearly as quickly without the help of nomadic herders. Rinderpest was the first animal disease to be eliminated globally -- and only the second disease overall to be ...

Marylanders Recall Bloodiest Day in US History
Sep 17th 2012, 13:12

Last week on September 11th, people around the world vividly recalled the day 11 years earlier when foreign terrorists piloting hijacked airplanes killed nearly 3,000 Americans and others. Today, it's mostly forgotten that 4,000 Americans died, and another 15,000 were wounded, in a single day on U.S. soil - 150 years ago.

Anti-Japan Demonstrations Prompt Chinese Discussions of Protests, Patriotism
Sep 17th 2012, 11:47

As anti-Japanese protests spread in China and in some cases turn violent, Chinese Web users are questioning when the actions of protesters go too far. Although protests in Beijing were mostly peaceful, some carried extreme messages.   "Even if all China becomes a grave, we must kill every Japanese," read a banner at the front of a group of marching protesters near the Japanese embassy on Sunday.
