Crime / Prison Break. by DONRAW89(m): 5:31am On Jun 10, 2015



New York (AFP) - The manhunt for two convicted killers on the run from a US jail narrowed Tuesday to a wooded area south of the prison, where hundreds of officers swarmed following a reported sighting of the pair.




Richard Matt, 49, and David Sweat, 35 -- whom officials have called violent and vicious -- used power tools to cut through walls at the Clinton Correctional Facility in the small New York town of Dannemora on Saturday.

Law enforcement alerted authorities in Canada and Mexico to be on watch in case the pair fled the country, but on Tuesday, the search focused on leads generated on the border between Clinton and Essex counties, south of the jail.




US media said there was a possible sighting of the two men on foot in the area of Willsboro, around 40 miles (60 kilometers) from Dannemora.




More than 440 corrections and law enforcement officers were in the region, where personnel were going door to door, state police said in a statement.




Police said leads "continue to be generated" and urged vigilance.




"If members of the public see anything unusual upon arriving at their residence or seasonal homes, they are asked to contact law enforcement immediately," police said.




"The public should make no hesitation to report any suspicious activity: that includes any sign of trespass, burglary or vehicle larceny."




There is a $100,000 reward for information leading to the pair's arrest.




- Dismembered his boss -




Matt, six feet tall with multiple tattoos, was serving a 25-year to life sentence for the 1997 kidnapping and dismembering of his former boss, 76-year-old William Rickerson, in a horrifying 27-hour ordeal.




Matt reportedly hit his victim, bound him with duct tape and threw him into the trunk of a car. He then beat and assaulted the elderly man multiple times before twisting his neck, and fleeing to Mexico.




There he killed an American and was sentenced to 20 years, before being extradited back to New York state in 2007.




Before killing Rickerson, he had served time for rape and for stabbing a nurse, in separate cases.




In 1986, he spent four days on the run from Erie County Jail, where he was serving time for assault.




Sweat was serving a life sentence without parole for murdering a sheriff's deputy in New York state in 2002 when he was 22 years old.




He and two accomplices were sharing out a cache of stolen weapons, when the deputy approached them. Sweat and an accomplice shot him several times and drove over him with a car.




As a teenager, Sweat was also charged with attempted second-degree burglary and burglary in two separate incidents.




- 'Lucky to be alive' -




The pair, who were reported to enjoy special privileges in jail, escaped before dawn Saturday in a conspiracy likened to Hollywood movies such as "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Escape from Alcatraz."




They cut through the walls of their cells with power tools, then crawled to freedom through an underground pipe system, coming up through a manhole and leaving behind a note saying "Have a Nice Day" next to a toothy grin.




Two Dannemora residents claim they confronted the felons shortly at around 12:30 am Saturday.




One had a buzz cut and wore a white T-shirt with a black guitar case slung over his shoulder, one of the witnesses told ABC News.




"I go look at him and I ask him: 'What the hell are you doing in my yard? Get the hell out of here.' And he was like: 'Sorry, I didn't know where I was. I'm on the wrong street'," the witness said.




"Lucky to be alive, man," said his female friend when asked how she felt.




On Monday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo described the pair as "truly dangerous, desperate men" whom he believed had help, "primarily from the inside."




Police confirmed that "several" uniformed and civilian employees at the prison had been interviewed but that no arrests had been made.

Honestly, the Ibos are a race of despicable people. No wonder they are being singled out as notorious in places like Britain, USA, South Africa, Ghana, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, etc, for the very base things of life. They are equally notorious for arrogance, pompousity, falsehood and playing the victim for propaganda. Recently discovered in them is blatant falsification of facts and history. Of all the tribes in this country, only they are guilty of this act.
Since Chief Awolowo died in 1987, there has never been a controversy as to the fact that he died in his sleep until when the Ibos started the falsehood to spite the dead due to their hatred for him and the Yoruba race. They claimed he was involved in a coup against IBB but commited suicide to avoid court-marshall. For the sake of argument let us admit that as the truth. A man who took such an action in the circumstance to me, is a man indeed, a macho man of stanner stuff. Having said that, if the story is true, what then happened to their other accomplices ? Why were they not court-marshalled and why did not become public then ? Was IBB magnanimous enough to let go free the others ? Or did Awo alone planned the coup ? I dare say that apart from Gowon, Awolowo enjoyed the greatest cordial relationship with no other head of Nigeria except IBB. When the old man died, i read the eulogy delivered by IBB of him. No man in his right senses would ever say such things about a man who was supposed to have been planning a coup against you, not least IBB.
Those claiming Awo commited suicide when he did not are incuring a perpetual suicide curse of God and Karmah upon themselves and generations yet unborn

[size=14pt]That is what they are known for in their region. Drug trafficking and kidnapping. They voted PDP as if their region benefited anything tangible other than a second Niger bridge that is still on paper . They hate others who are willing to sacrifice for a better Nigeria and future of unborn Nigerians. Their hate for other tribe made them vote against their son who is in pole position to be senate president. They are now hiding under Niger delta umbrella to vent their anger about the past. They rather get involved in crimes for survival than vote for change in their misfortunes.

Some of them will brag they don't care about politics but to dominate trade and commerce. Is drug trafficking and kidnapping parts of trade and commerce?

No one is sending you back, but immigration might ask you where you intend to stay at the moment. Just tell them your going to stay at backpackers at the moment. A taxi at the airport would take you to any nearest backpackers lodge. If I may ask, where are you going to in Australia? And what Visa are you coming with?

Health / 9 Questions About This New Ebola Drug. by DONRAW89(m): 4:40am On Aug 07, 2014
After going through these questions, I wept for our AFRICA.

(CNN) -- Two American missionary workers infected with the deadly Ebola virus were given an experimental drug that seems to have saved their lives.

Dr. Kent Brantly was given the medication, ZMapp, shortly after telling his doctors he thought he would die, according to a source familiar with his case. Within an hour, doctors say his symptoms -- labored breathing and a widespread rash -- dramatically improved. Nancy Writebol, another missionary working with Samaritan's Purse, received two doses of the medication and has also shown significant improvement, sources say.

As there is no proven treatment and no vaccine for Ebola, this experimental drug is raising lots of questions.








1. Who makes the drug?









Ebola transport team speaks to CNN
The drug was developed by the biotech firm Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc., which is based in San Diego. The company was founded in 2003 "to develop novel pharmaceuticals for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, focusing on unmet needs in global health and biodefense," according to its website.

Mapp Biopharmaceutical has been working with the National Institutes of Health and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, an arm of the military responsible for countering weapons of mass destruction, to develop an Ebola treatment for several years.

2. Are there other experimental Ebola drugs out there?

Yes. In March, the NIH awarded a five-year, $28 million grant to establish a collaboration between researchers from 15 institutions who were working to fight Ebola.

"A whole menu of antibodies have been identified as potentially therapeutic, and researchers are eager to figure out which combinations are most effective and why," a news release about the grant said.

Tekmira, a Vancouver-based company that has a $140 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense to develop an Ebola drug, began Phase 1 trials with its drug in January. But the FDA recently halted the trial, asking for more information.






At least one potential Ebola vaccine has been tested in healthy human volunteers, according to Thomas Geisbert, a leading researcher at the University of Texas Medical Branch. And last week, the NIH announced a safety trial of another Ebola vaccine will start as early as September.

3. How does ZMapp work?

Antibodies are proteins used by the immune system to mark and destroy foreign, or harmful, cells. A monoclonal antibody is similar, except it's engineered in a lab so it will attach to specific parts of a dangerous cell, according to the Mayo Clinic, mimicking your immune system's natural response. Monoclonal antibodies are used to treat many different types of conditions.



Sources told CNN the medicine given to Brantly and Writebol abroad was a three-mouse monoclonal antibody, meaning that mice were exposed to fragments of the Ebola virus and then the antibodies generated within the mice's blood were harvested to create the medicine.

However, the drug can also be produced with proteins made from tobacco plants. ZMapp manufacturer Kentucky BioProcessing in Owensboro has been working with Samaritan's Purse and Emory University Hospital to provide limited quantities of the drug to Emory, according to company spokesman David Howard.

4. WHY did American missionary workers get the drug?

Many have asked why these two workers received the experimental drug when so many -- around 1,600 -- others in West Africa also have the virus.

The World Health Organization says it was not involved in the decision to treat Brantly and Writebol. Both patients had to give consent to receive the drug, knowing it had never been tested in humans before.

The process by which the medication was made available to the American patients may have fallen under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "compassionate use" regulation, which allows access to investigational drugs outside clinical trials.

5. Did doctors know it would work?

No. The drug had shown promise in primates, but even in those experiments, just eight monkeys received the treatment. In any case, the human immune system can react differently than primates', which is why drugs are required to undergo human clinical trials before being approved by government agencies for widespread use.

The two Americans' cases will be studied further to determine how the drug worked with their immune systems.

6. Will the drug be made available to other Ebola patients?

It's unclear. Rolling out an untested drug during a massive outbreak would be very difficult, Doctors Without Borders said in a statement. Experimental drugs typically not mass-produced, and tracking the success of such a drug if used would require extra medical staff where resources are already scarce.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says scientists have to be careful about assuming this drug will work in other patients as it appears to have worked in Brantly.

"Having worked with administering antibodies for people for a really long time, that would be distinctly unusual," he told CNN. "As we all know in medicine ... you have to withhold judgment."

7. Does the company have more vials of the drug?

The company has very few doses ready for patient use, Fauci told CNN.

"(Kentucky BioProcessing) is working closely with Mapp, various government agencies, and other parties to increase production of ZMapp, but this process will take several months," Howard said.

8. Who paid for the drug and how much did it cost?

We don't know. Samaritan's Purse covered the cost of Brantly and Writebol's evacuations but did not pay for the drug, according to a spokesman.

When a patient gets an experimental drug, the drug company can donate the product under compassionate use. Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. might have done that in this case.

Health insurance companies typically do not pick up the tab for treatments that have not been approved by the FDA. But they usually would cover the cost of any doctor fees associated with giving the drug and any costs associated with monitoring how the drug is working.

9. Would this drug stop the Ebola epidemic?

If it were widely available, it certainly couldn't hurt. An effective Ebola drug could help doctors treat the deadly virus, which is killing about 60% of the people infected in West Africa. But a vaccine would be a much more effective tool in stopping this, and future, epidemics.

Vaccines are given to healthy people to prevent them from ever becoming infected. One challenge with Ebola, experts say, is that companies don't believe they could make much money from developing a vaccine, so few companies show interest.
