News Bits number 1

I often read, hear or see news stories that are quite interesting and I feel I would like to share - so I came up with my new series News Bits. Here goes the fist one.

HIV Compound

I'm sure, unless you've been a recluse for the past thirty years (in that case how are you even reading this? I didn't think they had a signal way out there in the middle of nowhere) you've heard of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or the syndrome it causes, HIV and AIDS. Well there has been a breakthrough in a compound they have been experimenting with that shows very promising results.

Wednesday Update - Mars

If you hadn't yet heard, there is a private organization, Mars One, looking to send the first colonists to Mars in just ten years time. Think about that. In 2025 four people out of 200,000 that applied will be sent to colonize Mars for the human race. What makes it intriguing or horrifying, depending on your stance, is that it is a one way trip. They will live out the rest of their lives on this planet that is 140 million miles away. They will never see their loved ones again or have a chance to raise a family - yeah didn't you hear? There is no sex allowed between these pioneers of space.

Delaware, Oh Delaware

Maybe you've heard about the epic amounts of snow in New England, the northwest part of the country, maybe you haven't. Either way, now you know that these past few weeks there have been people literally digging out their cars from the snow.

Not an exaggeration

Downhill Hollywood

Reboots, Remakes and Sequels to decades old movies. That's pretty much all Hollywood is churning out these days, and what's worse - people are actually spending money on these franchises.
