    A man is being treated in isolation in Hawaii for what health officials say is a potential Ebola case, local ABC affiliate KITV reported Thursday, though he could be sick with some other ailment. Authorities stress that they are being especially cautious amid concerns over the deadly virus, two days after the first confirmed case in the United States was identified in Texas.

    About 10 days ago, Lusa Khanneh took ill, but not in an Ebola kind of way. Her son, Saymon Kamara, says his mother was having violent convulsions. Those aren't a typical symptom of Ebola, but they're a very really complication of high blood pressure, which Kanneh had suffered for years.

    I think it'd be wonderful if the US was able to do this. It'd open up so many more opportunities to students. Maybe not completely free, but if America could reduce the general cost of college it'd be wonderful.
