  ET phones home

  a nearby star, ross 128, about 11 light years away, seems to be putting out some rather remarkable radio waves.

  discovered by the arecibo observatory in puerto rico (the one shown in the move contact) other observatories like the allen telescope array are set to begin observations in the next couple of days to make sure the signal really is coming from interstellar space and isn't caused by instrument malfunction or radio waves bouncing off satellites.

  it could be anything at this point (but very-very unlikely aliens).

  john mcenroe was challenged by npr reporter lulu garcia-navarro to amend his comments about serena williams in his new book in which he rates her as the best women's player of all time.

  lulu suggested he should not call her the best "women's" player but simply the best player of all time.

  mcenroe was taken aback and explained that the men's and women's tours were very different and that serena would be around 700th on in the men's game.

  on the radio today, an ad for a car dealership said:.

  'if a salesman came to your door to sell you a car, would you buy it from him?

  of course not, you'd go online and do your research.'.

  Family of Jehovah's Witness who died after refusing blood transfusion can't keep suing doctors

  by pale.emperor in

  http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/07/court_nixes_lawsuit_by_family.html.

  the family of a jehovah's witness who died after repeatedly refusing blood transfusions can't sue the hospital where doctors begged for a chance to save her life, a state appeals court ruled.. the case, outlined in an opinion by superior court judge jacqueline o. shogan, involves a convergence of religion, medicine and the law.. its focus is on what happened before terri seels-davila, a jehovah's witness missionary, died after giving birth at hahnemann university hospital in philadelphia in november 2010.. seels-davila, who had been serving on mission with her husband in nicaragua, chose hahnemann because of its "bloodless medicine" program for patients who won't agree to having blood transfusions, including jehovah's witnesses, shogan noted.

  the treatment plan for seels-davila called for recycling her own blood back into her system.. yet that proved to be inadequate when complications of her delivery required seels-davila to deliver by cesarean section.
