Woman UVA Student, 18, Missing, Suspect, Hospital Employee, Arrested



[From article]
Virginia police investigating the Hannah Graham missing person case obtained an arrest warrant this afternoon against 32-year-old suspect Jesse Matthew accusing him of felony abduction with intent to defile.
Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo said his team including DS Jim Mooney, now had ‘sufficient evidence of probable cause to charge UVA nursing assistant Matthew with ‘abduction with intent to defile’.
However, Matthew remains on the run and a new ‘wanted’ poster has been issued seeking help in tracking down the 32-year-old from Charlottesville, Virginia – the last man seen with Hannah.
[. . .]
Prime suspect Jesse ‘LJ’ Matthew named by Mail Online as the black man with dreadlocks seen following Hannah Graham and putting his arm around her as she walked through Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall at 1am on Saturday morning.
Witnesses later saw Matthew buying drinks for 18-year-old Hannah at the Tempo bar and the pair leaving together.
Chief Longo has said Matthew was the last person to see the 18-year-old student before she ‘vanished off the face of the earth’.

Untreatable Virus Spreading to General Public From Hospitals, Prisons




[From article]
a deadly form of MRSA had sprung from nowhere, picking off otherwise healthy people. The cases thrust Iqbal and his colleagues to the front lines of modern medicine''s struggle against antibiotic resistant bacteria – perhaps the nation's most daunting public health threat. No drug-defying bug has proved more persistent than MRSA, none has caused more frustration and none has spread more widely. In recent years, new MRSA strains have emerged to strike in community settings, reaching far beyond hospitals to infect schoolchildren, soldiers, prison inmates, even NFL players.
[. . .]
in the '90s, new "community-associated" strains began showing up in people who'd had no contact with the medical system – and the MRSA problem got far more complicated.
"We don't really understand the origin of these strains," says Costi Sifri, an infectious-disease physician at the University of Virginia Health System. "And we don't really know how to contain them."
[. . .]
hospitals are not required to report individual MRSA cases. So there was no way to tell what they were dealing with.
