‘Super Bacteria’ Discovered In Rio’s Waters As Olympics Near:

A group of Brazilian scientists have detected a drug-resistant bacteria growing off the shores of some of Rio de Janeiro’s most stunning beaches, one month before they’re due to host the 2016 Olympic Games.

According to lead researcher Renata Picao, the “super bacteria” entered the city’s waterways when sewage coming from local hospitals got channeled into the bay.

“We have been looking for ‘super bacteria’ in coastal waters during a one year period in five beaches,” Picao told CNN, during a visit to her lab. “We found that the threats occur in coastal waters in a variety of concentrations and that they are strongly associated with pollution.”

Noel Neill, Actress Who Portrayed Lois Lane On ‘Superman’ TV Show, Dies:

Noel Neill, the first actress to play Lois Lane on screen in the “Superman” film series, has died, her biographer said on Monday.

Neill passed away of natural causes on Sunday at her home in Tucson, Arizona, Larry Ward said. She was 95.

The Superman story has been immensely popular for decades, seeing success in comic books, television and movies.

Ward said the actress was a super person and performer, just a natural for the role of Lois Lane, the reporter on the Daily Planet newspaper in the city of Metropolis.

Lois Lane was a friend of Superman and a colleague of Clark Kent, the mild-mannered reporter who was Superman’s alter ego.

“She basically played herself. She was exactly the same person on the screen as off the screen,” Ward said.
