FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 2012

A meteor lights up the sky over California.. The meteor created a boom, shook houses, and now debris is scattered from the meteor..

The meteor blazing through the sky was visible and caused mouths to open in awe throughout California..

A few days ago a rare earthquake hit Maine.. and now another rare earthquake has rattled another odd state: This time Nebraska.. It wasn't overly strong but it shook nerves. Lots of 'rare' places are suddenly getting extraordinary events..

Now a number of states are preparing for earthquakes.. the proof is a multi-state earthquake drill.. With 'rare' events in Maine and Nebraksa, plus the New Madrid fault worries and nuclear plants in numerous states, can we really prepare for something big?

A major problem occurred throughout the Midwest Thursday as ferociously high winds hit the Plains, causing the drought-scourged landscape to whip up with dust.. several multi-vehicle pile ups took place on roadways covered in dust and dirt..

If it is not the high winds ruining your day, it's a late night tornado outbreak.. This one kept people up all night long as people from Illinois to Mississippi were rattled by a late October severe weather outbreak..


Like a horror movie, bugs have invaded a Utah town and are covering everything, from food to children to animals and homes. Residents of Portage Utah cannot seem to get rid of the boxelder bugs as they are swarming just about everywhere..

The 'Perversion Files' revealed.. new information shows that local Boy Scout leaders, police, mayors, and other local officials may have helped cover up a major pedophilia within the Scouts.. it documents the Boy Scouts from the 1950s through the mid 1980s..

Big solar flare erupts from the sun..

Imagine a world where it is criminal to save seeds--and now realize that that is exactly the world we may be living in soon..

The UK GUARDIAN asks, who controls the internet? Tech giants are fighting for supremacy along the information superhighway..

Obama and Romney roast themselves and each other at Al Smith dinner..

In the past, a 'lethally hot' planet earth was absent of life, say scientists. And they ponder when it will happen again..

Mars Curiosity Rover finding more strange and bright objects on the Martian soil..


Rapper Flavor Flav arrested in domestic assault..


WARNER BROS retains the rights for SUPERMAN.. .. They won a legal battle to keep all rights to the man of steel..


MTV: How PARANORMAL ACTIVITY stays fresh..

Box office predictions: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 will be the top weekend movie..

Latino moviegoers expected to come out for PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 in big numbers..

No offense to the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY fans out there--I was once one, too--but the films are drying up in fun and creativity.. maybe it's playing now simply on the fact people want 'a scary movie' this time of year and they know one devoid of a plot and story will be eaten up like candy on Halloween night. I cannot imagine the same scares and the same pranks being anywhere near as fun as they were the first time we saw them in PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 1. However, if I had to choose between this aging franchise or the sordid tales from the SAW films, I'd pick ghosts and goblins over torture porn any day..

NEW YORK TIMES reviews HBO movie 'THE GIRL,' a film about Alfred Hitchcock's films and how blondes made 'the best victims'.. The TIMES writes, "The trouble with “The Girl” is that it tries to psychoanalyze Hitchcock but fails by trying to know the man too much. It’s a movie about Hitchcock that ignores his best advice: "Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.""
