Getting The News Through Tweets -- March 16, 2015

The Obama administration has a news embargo on Ebola, so we are getting the story in bits and pieces, mostly through tweets. Tweeting now:
5th person to be monitored for Ebola symptoms has arrived at Nebraska Medicine, hospital says - @NebraskaMed
At least it's hard to catch.

Meanwhile, over in Libya, tweeting now:
Islamic State fighters kidnapped about 20 medical workers from Sirte, Libya, hospital during an attack on the facility, official says - @cnnbrk
The JV team.

Another JV team; yeah, she's guilty. Yeah, "I fought the law, but the law won, but what does it matter?" Hillary's 2016 theme song:

I Fought The Law, Bobby Fuller Four

Meanwhile In The Civilized World

Macrumors is reporting:
Apple is in talks with programmers including CBS, 21st Century Fox and Walt Disney to launch a subscription-based streaming TV service this fall, according to The Wall Street Journal. The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, claims that the service would have about 25 channels, cost between $30 to $40 per month and be available on iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. The service is said to debut at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June ahead of a September launch in the United States.
Compare that with three channels I actually watch and 22 channels that are a) in Spanish; b) televangelists; or, c) shopping networks and getting charged $125/month for the privilege.
