ABC NEWS: The Shocking Dangers of High School Football // MORE: New Jersey high school star quarterback Evan Murray died of an abdominal hemorrhage caused by a lacerated spleen.
And this reporting from FOX NEWS on the subject:
A star New Jersey high school quarterback who collapsed and died after receiving a heavy hit during a Friday night football game was a victim of internal bleeding caused by a ruptured spleen, an autopsy revealed Monday.
Morris County Medical Examiner Ronald Suarez noted in his autopsy reported that Evan Murray had an abnormally large spleen which was more susceptible to injury, according to NJ.com. Suarez also determined there was no evidence of head trauma or heart disease and ruled Murray’s death an accident.
Murray, 17, had walked off the field with the help of some Warren Hills Regional High School teammates after taking a hit in the backfield. A short time later, the three-sport athlete collapsed on the sidelines.

ISIS cracks down on school playgrounds to enforce gender separation of parents – report
Reporting from RT:
The Islamic State morality police Hesbah targeted playgrounds in the city of Mayadin in the eastern Deir ez-Zor province, local sources told the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Several men and women were arrested by ISIS gunmen “for not abiding by Islamic rules on dress.”
A similar crackdown on playgrounds was reported in the ISIS Syrian stronghold of Raqqa, where three women were arrested for not being accompanied by men.

Water+Mars=?
This was the mathish problem I asked last night on my personal Facebook page.. the answers I received were humorous.. But it showcased that the underbelly of humanity yesterday was excited by the prospect that we found water on Mars–water that is flowing.
The choice answers included ice cream, ‘humans,’ aliens, and my favorite, ‘how we got here.’
How we got here..
That has been the long thought inside my own head..
It’s unbelievable to think of how much changed since my grade school years formed my view of the universe–a view challenged by time and discovery. At that time, Mars was barren and desolate. It was only after hearing Richard C. Hoagland tell Art Bell during the 1990s version of Coast to Coast AM that water flowed on Mars that I actually started to contemplate the idea of liquid on the red planet. .
Perhaps that is also why the announcement yesterday wasn’t too surprising to me.
Water on Mars.
The tin foil hat club has known this for years..
I have a few people I chalk up as friends who take the Bible very literally. I have some spirited discussions with them about my viewpoint on that. But for them, the Bible is gold. It’s the word of God and it’s historical in nature.. So playing the devil in the devil’s advocate setup, I often ask them if they would find it reasonable to conclude that Noah’s Ark was a spaceship and the flood actually happened on Mars, the spaceship traveled to earth to escape. LAUGHABLE, they tell me–of course I remind them that their position also could incur as many chuckles as another.
I think now that water has been found, I’m going to tell them it backs up my premise of the NOAH spaceship idea.. Water on Mars. The leftovers of the great flood that ended Mars-humanity.
Of course.. I’m being tongue in cheek.
or am I..?

Nasa scientists find evidence of flowing water on Mars!!
Liquid water runs down canyons and crater walls over the summer months on Mars, according to researchers who say the discovery raises the odds of the planet being home to some form of life.
This is big big big big…

Everyone loved the supermoon, but all they got were these lousy photos
The iPhone is the main blame for wretched photos of the supermoon last night.. Truly a breathtaking moment ruined by photography at its worst at night. I’d imagine the people of 2033, during the next blood moon eclipse , will get a mighty chuckle is the current batch of photos still exists.

The ongoing civil war in Syria has led to the first-ever withdrawal from the Svalbard "doomsday" Global Seed Vault, a giant storage unit for plant seeds that's tucked into the side of a frigid mountain in Norway.
Syria’s civil war has forced scientists to request the first-ever withdrawal of seeds from a Doomsday vault built in the Arctic to safeguard the world’s food supplies, officials said Friday.
Experts working to conserve and grow cereals with strong resistance to drought and warmer global temperatures can no longer rely on their facility in the war-torn country’s city of Aleppo because it has been occupied by armed factions.
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) said it has made a request to take back some of its samples from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The vault was created by the Norwegian government in 2008 to protect vital crops such as wheat against global disasters, war or disease.
It will be the first time seeds have been withdrawn from the facility, which lies more than 800 miles inside Arctic Circle — midway between Norway and the North Pole — and is the largest vault of its kind in the world. Built into the mountainside on the Svalbard archipelago, it relies on permafrost and thick rock to ensure that the seed samples will remain frozen even without power.

Tonight’s CNN headline can bring some peace to the weary Mormons and extreme Christians who prepped for months for the end times with the Tetrad. We made it through yet another false prophecy..
Not sure when people will begin learning not to believe the prognosticators. Instead, they should pay better attention to documented fact and historical accounts of ice ages, warming periods, and asteroids that have struck and ended life on earth previously. It will happen again.
But not when the ‘seers’ claim that God told them it will..

The power of Christ compels me to not like remakes.. but there is so much hype and hope over the EXORCIST remake that I will hope it’s good, too.
The question for me: Will the vomit scene by CGI or will they rely on the old fashioned pea soup method..?
Nic Cage interviewed on his new horror movie PAY THE GHOST .. the star also talked about the horror genre in general.
He said, ‘I certainly would have participated more in what you call “straight-up horror” if I had been given the opportunities to participate in them earlier on in my career’..
Read more on this. I am with Cage, especially on the slasher body count idea..
Some more media interviews of Cage yielded this interesting factoid about his true thoughts of the paranormal in general: Esquire talked to him about PAY THE GHOST and also his own personal fears.. “I would say that I’m 98 percent skeptical, but the other 2 percent [is] open for the possibility of things.” ..
On the question of whether he experienced the paranormal, Cage responded, “Nothing I would be able to discuss on public record. I’m not going there” ..
Sounds like he may not be doing any Celebrity Ghost Story show, but there may be a basis for the 2%.. I think there is a basis for the 2% with everyone, including me.
When that 2% type of event occurs to you, you’re immediately placed into a mental location you’ve never expected to be. Sometimes you get the same feeling during a NIC CAGE movie (I kid Nic, I kid him) .. but his track record on films is often hit or miss.
Hopefully PAY THE GHOST scares up some cash based off of a strong story line. Often people cringe during Cage flicks. Hopefully if they do during PAY THE GHOST it will be for the right reasons..
CJ Pearson is an immediate success with conservatives for his youthful attacks on the President and Democrats..
He’s a black teen who has been swelling in popularity..
But now it appears that the teen in stardom fever either punked his fans or was punked himself, with no evidence pointing at an unfollow conspiracy.. And more: This young intelligent (I will give him that) teen wants people to sign a petition to meet with Obama–this is the reason, Pearson says, he was banned…
The Pope’s Excellent American Vacation comes to Philly. And then Francis met Marky Mark
The major story this week was the Papal visit.. covered here a bit too..
There remains a few last minute articles to contemplate regarding the Pope before he goes back to Rome..
Among them:
Did Philadelphia go *way* overboard with security? I know few things not mentioned in the USA TODAY article.. I would argue, based off of what I know, it was beyond overboard and almost paranoid.. Maybe they were listening to the prophecies about end times, or even the Mormons fretting about the Sunday blood moon. The pope has also showcased his energy during his excellent American adventure, but he is now wearyand walking with a limp–and caught on camera stumbling up the steps..
I think people so often forget his age..
But there was one last Papal moment, at this point, that I need desreves some notes..
It’s this: Actor Mark Wahlberg hosted an event attended by Pope Francis in Philly.. He also made a joke about the raunchy movie ‘TED’ in front of Francis..
After Bobby Hill, 14, of the Keystone State Boychoir performed an opera solo, he told Wahlberg that he liked his performance in the movie about an angry talking teddy bear. “He whispered in my ear that he liked the movie 'Ted,’” Wahlberg said. “I told him that was not appropriate for his age. Holy Father, please forgive me.”
He also said “go Eagles”… tacky tacky tacky..
NASA has set a Mars news conference for Monday September 28 to present a ‘major announcement’
The space agency says a major announcement is coming Monday, a news conference is set for 11:30am ET adn will be broadcast on NASA TV and its website–hopefully it the news is big enough, people will ignore Donald Trump for five minutes and actually give the space agency some time on the major networks..
If it’s HUGE enough, NBC should do the Chimes of Death and give us a special report on their affiliates. Of course it would have to be big news for the Chimes to play.
Perhaps water on Mars is.. or life.. or evidence, conclusive evidence, of either..
One common joke has emerged on the Twitters: NASA found astronaut Mark Watney. Watney is the name of the fictional astronaut stranded on Mars in the movie THE MARTIAN.
While people are in a frenzy with speculation, a part of me thinks this will be just be a ho-hum news conference with little information rendered.
I hope I’m wrong, but that seemingly has happened before with earth shattering news.
The most exciting space story of the year, minus the rodents on Mars images offbeat sites find, has been Pluto and the ever changing way we view that non planet planet. I think life on Mars or evidence of past life would far dominate Pluto..
We will see Monday.

Lots of people are freaked by the blood moon and eclipse Sunday.. but it would appear the Mormons are really hunkering down for the end times
So far the 9/23/15 asteroid NEVER hit.. I doubt the lunar lunacy will end the planet, either.
Sadly the day the REAL end comes via space rock or sun spot, we’ll be ill-prepared due to our busy nature of listening and giving credit to false prophets who deserve none..

Firm behind Apple’s Spaceship HQ reveals plans for Mars habitat
And it’s going to be future shock for some..
‘The design of the habitat – carried out in collaboration with industrial and academic partners – envisions a robust 3D-printed dwelling for up to four astronauts constructed using regolith – the loose soil and rocks found on the surface of Mars,’ it said.The settlement on Mars will be constructed by an array of pre-programmed, semi-autonomous robots prior to the eventual arrival of the astronauts. The habitat will be delivered in two stages prior to the arrival of the astronauts. First, the semi-autonomous robots select the site and dig a 1.5 metre deep crater, followed by a second delivery of the inflatable modules which sit within the crater to form the core of the settlement.

The Fed’s Confusing Message About Interest Rate Increases
FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES:
Economists always warn, correctly, not to make too much of any single economic report, but rather to analyze new information in terms of longer-term trends.
At the same time, Federal Reserve officials, up to and including Fed chair and ace economist Janet Yellen, keep saying they will raise interest rates this year as long as there are no rude surprises in the economic data – as if Fed policy depends on the next data point, the next report.

Congressman swipes Pope’s glass …
From PHILLY:
The pope sipped from the glass at least three times during his speech, Brady told the Daily News on Thursday night. And as the Holy Father left the chamber - and as many a legislator tried to make contact with him - the congressman calmly headed to the lectern and delicately picked up Papa Francisco’s glass, holding it by two fingers, one at the bottom of the glass and one at the rim.
Holy moly.

Party line
I called 760-733-9969 a few times since Clyde Lewis mentioned it on his show last night.. Though I had heard about the famed Mojave desert phone booth many times over, I had forgotten it returned a few years ago thanks to someone who bought the line and made a conference call bridge out of it..
Obviously with the newfound attention of Ground Zero listeners, the number has a vast possibility of gaining traction all over again..
The call this morning was at times annoying, frantic, strange, bizarre.. Creepy. People speaking about Jesus and also crying out about the devil. At one point when there were only about six people on it, I actually had a bit of a meaningful conversation with the people talking..
I promise this: Some more urban legend and desert facts about the Mojave phone booth will be coming after I conduct more research.. And also more phone calls will be placed to hear the shenanigans and strangeness greeting me on the other end..
Certainly hope Clyde Lewis does another show about it in total..
Don’t count your property before you build on it..
From the BBC: A question for the future and the ages. Who owns outer space?
I would tend to think that if other life forms dominate space, we never will own it and certainly better not try buying..
New images from Mars have, as usual, caused a sensation..Could this circular stone formation be the Stonehenge of the Red Planet?
Could it be the remnants of a past civilization, death from a climactic change?
Could it be..stones?
Video emerges showing cops in Delaware shooting a man in a wheel chair.. A relative calls the death an execution.. Cops say he had a gun. A relative says he had a book bag..
This is a cool story.. the famous MOJAVE PHONE BOOTH is back.. Would you be willing to try giving a call to number 760-733-9969? If so, who knows you will answer..
Oh Ben…
Carson argued that evolution was of the devil.

Chimpanzees love horror films, research finds
From the report:
“According to researchers in Japan, Chimpanzees fall into the first group. When shown a ‘horror’ film, featuring an actor dressed as a King Kong attacking a human, the selected Chimps watched on intensely, neither covering their eyes nor accepting treats as they may distract from the viewing.
In the 40-second film, King Kong is taunted by a human on the other side of a cage. The ape then breaks free, attacking the human. The human then grabs a red hammer and precedes to hit King Kong. Frightening stuff.”
Not sure what if any lesson this has.. What if any value possessing this information does.. But it sure it interesting and explains quite a bit to me.

The argument comes down to whether people can crack the code of their car computer and repair things themselves… GM says they don’t have the right to. The copyright claim is undoubtedly going to to through a legal process. If GM wins, your purchase of your car will simply be a licensing agreement. A whole new world..

Why you should always find at least three sources for every online rumor you hear.. TMZ had a scoop about a standout football player in Harrisburg Pa. They reported that Adrian Robinson was shot and killed in his hometown. The only trouble was that he was not. He died after a suicide, a painful and private ordeal for the family.. TMZ blamed “Harrisberg police” … the “Harrisburg” police denied the TMZ accusation.. The world of tabloids, where anyone can claim an exclusive no matter how right or wrong it is..

THE POLTERGEIST FAIL
The POLTERGEIST remake is released today.. For better or worse.. And while some horror fans may be enthusiastic about the prospects of the classic film, modernized, being in theaters, others are decrying a lack of imagination, and over abundant use of CGI, and a sloppy uninspired mess of a movie.. You can find the reviews yourself–the review roundup on ROTTEN TOMATOES isn’t pretty, with the film scoring less than half positive press with writers.. Horror site BLOODY DISGUSTING checked in with its own review of the movie, with the site lamenting the overuse of special effects, the acting that just doesn’t seem to be convincing, and a climax of the movie suffering from what Kalyn Corrigan called fake-looking spirits.. The movie, it can be said, doesn’t prove itself when compared to the classic from the early 1980s.. I frankly still can’t understand why this movie was picked from the litter of horror films as the target for a re-do. There was almost no need, perhaps less of a need than even Rob Zombie’s messups of the HALLOWEEN films. POLTERGEIST, circa 1982, is a movie about family, love, spirits, death, mystery, and illusion. The modern fare seems more bent on cheap scares and lousy special effects that don’t do anything but give a jump or two in a movie theater. Certainly no long-lasting nostalgia will be created by this remake.. Poorly done, from the reviews I have read, and perhaps something not at all worth it in theaters..

The world has played chess for quite some time in the Middle East..

Speed controls have been installed on ‘dead man’s curve,’ the crash site in Philadelphia.. But that may only be a part of the story.. There is still intrigue swirling not only around the engineer of the train, but also the eyewitnesses and visual evidence that something really big and fast hit the train prior to it crashing.. There are even rumors that two projectiles hit the train around the same time..
