Jason Russell, director of the 30-minute video posted on YouTube “Kony 2012” and co-founder of the Group Invisible Children, was hospitalized Thursday for “exhaustion, dehydration and malnutrition”, said the CEO of Invisible Children, Ben Keesey, said in a statement. “The past two weeks have had a high emotional cost for all of us, especially for Jason, and that cost is expressed in an unfortunate incident yesterday,” said Keesey without giving more details. “The passion of Jason and his work have done both to help so many people that we are shattered by seeing you suffer this personal health problem,” said.

London (Reuters) – new research suggests that neutrinos that seemed to violate a basic physical law to travel faster than the speed of light are, after all, within the universal speed limit. The last measurement of time of flight of the subatomic particles made by the Research Centre CERN in Geneva, for the Italian Gran Sasso laboratory contradicted a first reading on ultrafast speed reported last September, which caused great excitement in the scientific sphere. Since then, have increased the doubts about the original statements, especially after the news of the last month of the first conclusion of the so-called experiment OPERA could have been distorted by a defective cabling. “Evidence is beginning to point toward which the result of OPERA is born of a measuring device”, said Friday the director of research at CERN, Sergio Bertolucci, in a statement. The new analysis was performed by researchers working in an experiment separately called Icaro. The team used time-independent data and measured seven neutrinos in the beam of light sent from CERN. All of them produced a consistent time with the speed of light, the Research Center said. Many scientists had been sceptical about the original measurements, which missed the theory of special relativity by Albert Einstein in 1905, stating that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light, a statement on which much of modern...
