Chinese boy can't hear his cartoons, cuts high-rise worker's safety rope
Saturday cartoons are very, very, very important to one 10-year-old Chinese boy.
A worker was installing lighting on the outside of a high-rise apartment building when a boy appeared at an eighth-floor window and began sawing through the worker's safety rope. Apparently, the construction racket was drowning out the kid's cartoons, and he decided this would be an effective way to restore some silence.
"I shouted at him to stop, but he didn't listen and soon after, the rope was broken," the worker told Chinese new outlet Xinhua. "That's when I called to my workmate for help."
Forty minutes later, several firemen rescued the worker from his precarious position. Police questioned the boy, who eventually admitted to his actions. The kid's dad came home and apologized to the worker.

Is Stephen Hawking offering only a theoretical doomsday scenario for the Higgs Boson? Last Week Tonight With John Oliver/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET
Stephen Hawking seems to have turned into the man with the sandwich board that says: "The end is nigh."
Not only has he warned us that aliens might destroy us, but he's also been worrying that artificial intelligence might do the same.
Now he's perceiving a threat that might not merely put an end to Earth, but to the whole Universe.
As the UK's Sunday Times reports, Hawking is worried about the God particle. This, discovered by physicists during experiments within CERN's Large Hadron Collider, is a vital ingredient to explaining why things in our world have mass.
However, in a preface to a new book called "Starmus" -- a collection of lectures gives by famous scientists and astronomers -- Hawking worried that the Higgs Boson might become unstable.
He wrote: "The Higgs potential has the worrisome feature that it might become metastable at energies above 100bn gigaelectronvolts (GeV)."
What might this lead to? Hawkins explained: "This could mean that the universe could undergo catastrophic vacuum decay, with a bubble of the true vacuum expanding at the speed of light. This could happen at any time and we wouldn't see it coming."
Before you prepare your loved ones for an evacuation to some distant star, Hawking did offer some hope with, it seems, a wry smile: "A particle accelerator that reaches 100bn GeV would be larger than Earth, and is unlikely to be funded in the present economic climate."

Feel free to post whatever tickles your fancy! Post comments on the articles with your own thoughts too, this will make this thread very interesting!
Instead of having a billion threads all on different news articles, I'd like to have one unified thread where everyone can be subscribed and have discussions based on the articles.
I'll try to copy the format kbit uses where he copies and pastes the article and then leaves the link. I prefer to read the article on the website itself because the format is usually better. The only thing is that I figure it would look boring with just a thread with a bunch of links.

DESCRIPTION: Death in America is largely a foodborne illness. Focusing on studies published just over the last year in peer-reviewed scientific medical journals, Michael Greger, M.D., offers practical advice on how best to feed ourselves and our families to prevent, treat, and even reverse many of the top 15 killers in the United States.

Please refer to HFT thread where Big Mike discussed this, I had unknowingly duplicated it.

Although the shale business seems to have negative cash flow that goes along with a very low Energy Return On Energy Invested, they should be able to make it up on volume. Or hype.

I posted this earlier in the HFT thread, as it would seem to apply mainly to those transactions. But if you believe it deserves to be discussed elsewhere, please create a new thread for it. I don't think trading related content should be posted in an off-topic area of the site, like this thread.
But wait.. there's more! Here is a video explaining how the NFL really works to funnel money to the team owners, and who pays for it. Public liabilities, private profits.
