The Potential of Twitter Data for Surveillance of Epidemics in Brazil
While in Brazil I had the pleasure of meeting the folks from Federal University of Minas Gerais who are using twitter data to monitor disease (more specifically dengue) epidemics. Their work is awesome, and worth taking note of.
The website of the project is here http://www.observatorio.inweb.org.br/dengue/destaques/
And here's a paper that provides a more detailed account of the experience:
*Dengue surveillance based on a computational model of spatio-temporal locality of Twitter∗
Gomide et al. (2011)

A skeleton with a cleaved skull and a curved spine entombed under a car park is that of Richard III, scientific tests confirmed, solving a 500-year-old mystery about the final resting place of the last English king to die in battle.
Richard, depicted by William Shakespeare as a monstrous tyrant who murdered two princes in the Tower of London, was killed fighting his eventual successor Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth Field in central England in 1485.

“People here strongly oppose education for women. People ask, 'Why are you running this school here?' A woman is considered worse than a doormat. Her job is to take care of the home, raise children, fetch water, or work in the fields. A woman has no other purpose in life. It is very difficult to get these girls to attend school.”

The word hackerspace conjures up images of programmers huddled in a dark room breaking into high-security computers. But hackerspaces are where techies tinker, deconstruct and rebuild anything of their liking, such as 3D printers and slots machines that make mixed drinks.
I visit NYC Resistor and Singularity and Company, which is New York’s only sci-fi bookstore, to explore the hackerspace community.

LIVE COVERAGE: Bomb kills Syrian ministers at heart of Assad rule
Syria's defense minister and President Bashar al-Assad's brother-in-law were killed in a Damascus suicide bomb attack carried out by a bodyguard on Wednesday, the worst blow to Assad's high command in the country's 16-month-old rebellion.
The bomber, said by a security source to be a bodyguard assigned to Assad's inner circle, struck a meeting in central Damascus attended by ministers and senior security officials as battles raged within sight of the nearby presidential palace.
