Report: Penn State quarterback suffers seizure after locker room brawl

This time from the current college football team.

It was revealed this evening that Penn State's quarterback Matt McGloin has suffered a seizure and potential concussion after a scuffle took place in the college locker room.

The Harrisburg PATRIOT NEWS exclusively reported that the incident occurred; the newspaper also reports that Penn State police are investigating the details.

This comes after a harrowing week for the university ended. Jerry Sandusky's lawyers offered up a theory that he was simply helping young boys apply soap to their bodies... a theory and a grasp in the dark (no pun intended) for a defense. 

Days ago, another bad report hit the school: The US Department of Education's stats showed that Penn State Schuylkill in Pennsylvania had the second highest crime rate, including on campus robberies and sexual assault.. second only to main campus. State College.

The once happy valley.

The news tonight of a seizure and scuffle only further hurt the respect that the Pennsylvania school once had.

An act of God.. a city not liable...

Controversy in Fort Worth this weekend after a street light in the city fell and damaged a man's car.


Why the controversy?


Because the city said the incident was an 'act of God'.. under Texas law, that means they are not responsible for the damage.

I thought our God was an awesome God? Instead he's busy smashing and trashing...and letting cities off the hook for insurance claims.

Some are sure: Christopher Hitchens is currently burning in hell

Christopher Hitchens died this week.. and when he did, a tremendous amounts of tributes were immediately flying online. Also with those tributes: Reprehensible words from some ultra religious people stating that he was sent to hell by the all forgiving God.

Among those: A conservative radio talk show host named Bryan Fischer. Fischer said that if Hitchens is now burning in eternal damnation it's because God loves him, and not hates him. Fischer is getting his name on the map, now, of course.. but also on the map is his words of hate.

We cannot know if a person is in hell or heaven. HELL, WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A HEAVEN OR HELL!!

But .. some are able to say with clarity and surety that Christopher Hitchens is now burning in eternal suffering... and his sin? Now believing he could burn in eternal suffering.

So believe. Fear.
Or ... you, too, can burn with Chris..........

Horror in the Philippines: More than 400 dead after typhoon

Early reports of Typhoon Washi had a death toll of 200.. 

Now dire news has been reported that over 400 are dead--with lots more still being counted. Lots more unaccounted for.

When water came crashing through Manila and other areas, people were fast asleep. It was the still of the night when the flooding typhoon drenched the nation.

Many were washed out to sea.. others are being taken to funeral parlors--the way the death toll is based is primarily on reports from funeral homes...

MSNBC reports:
Teddy Sabuga-a, a disaster officer in Misamis Oriental province, said 60 people were rescued in waters off El Salvador city, about 6 miles northwest of Cagayan de Oro, after they were swept to the sea by a raging river, and about 120 more were rescued off Opol township, closer to the city.
More dramatic news set to hit wires... the death toll will rise.. and a lot more horror is yet to come from the Philippines in result of Washi..

Rumors in Rome: Is the Pope too tired to continue?

Rumors abound this year that Pope Benedict is tired, out of touch, and rarely filled with the energy needed to be engaging or even in charge of the Church.

The Associated Press wire service is reporting that Pope Benedict is disengaged, rarely meeting with bishops, and now in need of a platform to carry him instead of walking down St. Peter's Basilica. 

The Pope will turn 85 in 2012...and with past statements that Benedict has made when he was Cardinal Raztinger, the issue is even more controversial: He said that if popes can't do the job, they should resign the papacy.

No word from Rome on resignations, though.

Back at home, however, it seems the daily grind of being pope _ the audiences with visiting heads of state, the weekly public catechism lessons, the sessions with visiting bishops _ has taken its toll. A spark is gone. He doesn't elaborate off-the-cuff much anymore, and some days he just seems wiped out.
The spark is gone... over. Out.

A few years ago a protester wearing red leaped out of the audience at a Christmas Eve service to rush the pope before being taken down by guards... 

This year, it is questionable if the Pope would need the guards since his platform does the work his legs once did.

The Catholic Church has been down this road of sick popes before. Rumors flew in the early 2000s about John Paul II ... constant news of death and illness. Until a dove appeared above his head and days later he died.

Benedict is 85 years young in '12. 

Long live Benny.

More than 250 killed in the Philippines after flash flood

Hell on earth.
Typhoon Washi hits the Philippines ..
250 confirmed dead.
400 missing.
The death toll is sure to rise, according to officials, who are recovering from the blast from the typhoon.

When Washi swept in, it immediately caused drenching heavy rains, flash floods, mudslides, and power loss to thousands of homes. The hardest hit areas according to fresh reports from the Philippines were the cities of Illigan and Cagayan de Oro.

Reports from the Philippines also speak of harrowing rescues, villages washed in to the sea, and muddy ugly water rushing through streets, picking up with it any pieces of debris available to go for the ride.

The government mobilized 20,000 soldiers in the nation for relief operations. The port cities struck with the most hell will be seeing the most troops--the reports seem to suggest that those cities are practically decimated with water and wind damage.

Tropical systems are not stranger to the Philippines. The nation typically gets hit with up to 20 storms a year. However, this storm seemed to be hit with extra strength.  NASA saw the tropical system's winds and rains to be intense over a larger area. 

Washi wasn't done yet. After it leaves the nation of the Philippines behind to deal with destruction, it's into the Sulu Sea where meteorologists say it will intensify again before it strikes Vietnam.

Fresh images of police brutality emerge from Egypt

Disturbing scenes in Egypt emerging tonight.. and now thanks to the UK DAILY MAIL, sick photos of police brutality are being published online and around the world in real time. 

One image shows the police grabbing a girl by the hair; Another shows Egyptian authorities beating a protester in Cairo. Another has a woman in a burka being rampaged by cops.. bloody images.. ravaged faces.. torn up bodies. All courtesy of the Arab Spring and the military in the Mubarak-free new Egypt. Human rights groups say nothing has changed.. all the same. Everything the same.

The newly published images are adding fuel to the fire of protests already occurring in the nation; Twitter and Facebook alive with updates from inside the nation. Protesters speaking out in cyberspace... less bloody than the streets of  Cairo this day.

Looking forward to 2012 like a hole in the head

The presidential debates, early states voting, and political advertisements appearing on TV may have already left their mark: Months before the election next November, Americans are already sick of it all and dreading what is to come.

A new Gallup poll illustrates just how united the nation actually may be becoming: 70% can't wait for the whole election cycle to be over.

And even more in depth on it all: Democrats and Republicans can't wait for it to be over at about the same percentage.. more independents can't wait than even mainstream parties.

Men can't wait for it to be over.
Women can't wait for it to be over.

The young can't wait.. the old can't wait.


And who said America was a divided nation?  United we stand.

An update from Art Bell

Early this morning Art Bell wrote on his Facebook page about an explosion occurring in his radio room.. As the day unfolded, more details were unveiled by the former Coast to Coast AM host.

Bell wrote that the fire extinguisher in his radio room was the culprit.. expiring in 2004.

Art Bell has not responded to other users on Facebook asking for updates and photos, but he did wrote only a short time ago on the page, "Our house is a disaster."

Art Bell recently moved back to Pahrump, Nevada, after years of living in the Phillipines with his wife and younger daughter. 

A former fixture of late night paranormal radio, Art Bell left Coast to Coast AM for good in 2010. Rumors have been rampant since that he was planning a return to radio in some form besides Ham. On his Facebook page, he published photos of a refurbished Pahrump home and new equipment in his radio room.

And now, according to Bell, his home and $50,000 + in radio equipment a wreck after the fire extinguisher explosion.

Merry Christmas: Mary is in the pink


A controversial new billboard is up just in time for Christmas.. The Auckland, New Zealand depicts Mary holding a pregnancy test--obviously positive.

It's controversial and it was put up by a church..
It's going to stay up until Christmas..

And it brings the thought to my mind: If there were pregnancy tests during Mary's time, I'm sure she would have been overly shocked to see the positive results.. indeed, it was either an angel or an alien... or a night out at a local manger that she forgot...

The acceleration of global climate change coming?

Scientists are concerned with a new discovery: Plumes of methane bubbling to the surface of the Arctic Ocean..

The methane gas plumes, hundreds in number, are massive in diameter. The unprecedented levels of gas being released could potentially dramatically increase the chances that climate change will occur quickly..

Art Bell's house has explosion in radio room




From Art’s Facebook page:


“There has been a explosion at our house tonight! Nobody hurt (I hope) it was a fire extinguisher, it just blew up (nobody in the room) but the house is beyond a mess. Inhaled a bunch of that stuff, like a white powder, not feeling so hot. Fire dept was here. More when I can. Good lord, we just remodeled. I think I got the most exposure but the girls got some as well. A fire extinguisher is supposed to save you not kill you! It was in my radio room with about 50K of radio gear that may be toast along with my lungs. It had been in the same spot for months, always at about 70 degrees, Fire guys said it was defective, lots of pictures, I will post in time, now VERY tired.”

Vlad speaks: McCain 'nuts'

Vladimir Putin, the man who may be the President (again) of Russia, called Senator John McCain 'nuts.'


McCain tweeted that the "Arab Spring" is "coming to a neighborhood near you." Vlad the Impaler responded to Mr. McCain's Twitter message with his own insult: 
Mr McCain fought in Vietnam. I think that he has enough blood of peaceful citizens on his hands. It must be impossible for him to live without these disgusting scenes anymore.
Mr McCain was captured and they kept him not just in prison, but in a pit for several years. Anyone [in his place] would go nuts.
Low blow from the formerly old and now very young looking potentially botoxed Vlad.


Pootie Poot strikes. 




And to think, George Bush looked into his soul...


Well, George didn't like McCain, either.

Amazing news may soon come from CERN

The search for the God particle coming to a close?
Have they closed in on Higgs?
Developing story coming from Switzerland.. it may be the gift of the year this Christmas for scientists who have long sought out the missing piece that governs how the building blocks of life even build..

The recent flurry of activity that news is coming from the Large Hadron Collider has not quieted with time. The announcement from those at CERN say there are few places left for the God particle to hide.. 

The Higgs boson is thought to be tied to a field that is responsible for giving all other particles their mass. The rest of the story is one of deep scientific terminology.. those who study in depth what the researchers are CERN are doing may even be hard pressed to explain the operation to the lay person.. but even the lay person would be able to understand the consequence of the God particle being found: It could start to answer some of the most important questions about the existence of this universe and how we became what we became.

The scientific explanations would precede the philosophical and ethical arguments that would most surely stem from a massive scientific announcement of the building blocks of life being isolated. 

One message to the EarthInformer previously on CERN news went this way: "What if we find out that we are a part of some massive CERN and they created us to see if we can find out if we would ever realize we are a science experiment?"

Indeed, what if?
Science is all about what ifs. In the case of CERN, is may soon be 'what next?'

Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the states, not a flake was falling, not even on the lakes

The scene around the United States of America couldn't be more different than it is when compared to just one Christmas season ago. Last year, snow blanketed vast portions of the nation.. a storm before Christmas whitened the grounds in areas that didn't have white Christmas in years.

Fast forward, one year later, and 2011 is bone dry. Actually it's quite wet. But that wetness if green and not white.

A week before Christmas, and not only does most of the U.S. stand to have a wet Christmas with mud on the ground, but the temperatures are warm seemingly from coast to coast.

Detroit baking in the 50s with norms in the 30s.. New York City and Philly are high above freezing.. grounds saturated by flooding rains in the fall are just muddy. Christmas lights high above trees in towns with no scenic snow falling around it.

It could be a mood buster for some, but malls are happy. Not only are people shopping (a little) this year, but there is no need for giant bulldozers to clear parking lots.

Heatmiser, indeed, is in charge.
If not him, it's La Nina, the cooling of the Pacific Ocean and shifting of jet streams. What was true for winter in 2010-11 will not be true for 11-12. Instead, warm pools of muddy grass will be dominant ... 

A mood-busting mean one indeed that this Heatmiser can be.
