U.K NEWS:-UK Ebola nurse's condition stabilizes


The condition of a health worker battling Ebola in London has stabilized, but she remains in critical condition, Britain's health secretary told lawmakers Monday.
On December 29, Pauline Cafferkey, 39, of Glasgow, Scotland, became the first person to be diagnosed with the virus on UK soil, after returning from Sierra Leone the day before. On Saturday, the London hospital where she is being treated said that her condition had deteriorated over two days to critical.
In a statement to the British House of Commons Monday, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt commended Cafferkey and 69 other National Health Service volunteers who had spent Christmas in Sierra Leone for "the exceptional bravery and compassion they showed in joining the battle against Ebola."
He said the doctor leading the team caring for Cafferkey at the Royal Free had updated him on her condition Monday morning.
"As has been reported, Pauline's condition has deteriorated to a critical state, although she stabilized yesterday and continues to receive the best possible care," Hunt said.

WORLD NEWS:8 new planets found in 'Goldilocks zone'

The "Does human life exist beyond Earth" debate just scored another talking point with the discovery of eight new planets within the so-called "Goldilocks" -- or habitable -- zone of their stars. Astronomers with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, or CfA, announced their findings at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. To be considered habitable, exoplanets must orbit within a distance of their stars in which liquid water can exist on the planet's surface, receiving about as much sunlight as Earth. Hence the Goldilocks zone: Too much sunlight and the water would boil away as steam, too little, and the water would freeze. Among the eight, scientists say two are the most similar to Earth of any known exoplanets to date.
