Ferguson aftermath

Ferguson Aftermath

Missouri National Guard reinforcements helped contain the latest protests in Ferguson, preventing a second night of the chaos that led to arson and looting after a grand jury decided not to indict the white police officer who killed an unarmed black 18-year-old., a case that has inflamed racial tensions in the U.S. Since the grand jury's decision, thousands from Los Angeles to New York have rallied behind the refrain "hands up, don't shoot," and drawing attention to other police killings. As the tension in Ferguson eased somewhat, officer Darren Wilson broke his long public silence, insisting on national television that he could not have done anything differently in the confrontation.

The thing is when it comes to police shootings, you would rather be safe then sorry if your the police officer. It is really to bad that the police officer did kill a unarmed black person.

Obesity Cost $2 Trillion

2 Trillion

A report by the McKinney Global says that the global cost of obesity has cost around  $2 trillion US annually nearly as much as smoking or the combined impact of armed violence, war and terrorism. The report released Thursday focused on the economics of obesity and says 2.1 billion people some 30% of the global population are overweight and Obese. McKinney says there's no single or simple solution to the problem, but disagreement on how to move forward is not helping the progress. The analysis is meant to offer a starting point on the elements of a possible start.

Investigators are trying to solve several cases about the recent crash of a Virgin Galactic spacecraft during a test flight, including how the pilot managed to escape and survive the crash that killed his co-pilot. Investigators are trying to determine how surviving pilot Pete Sideboard, 43, managed to get out of the rocket plane and parachute to the ground from a height of roughly 15,000 meters in altitude virtually devoid of oxygen. Hart said Sideboard, now hospitalized with a shoulder injury, did not exit through the cockpit's escape hatch.
