Latest from London: Riot scene being described by news accounts and Twitter feeds across the net.. Being called a war zone, 26 police officers have been hurt..
Dozens have been arrested in the violence..
The riots are taking place in the economically deprived Tottenham area. Police cars are being set of fire, buildings and buses are being torched..
It all began when Mark Duggan, 29, father of four, was killed in what is being described as an ‘apparent’ exchange of gunfire..
Developing story that the world is watching..
Solar flared out? …not the sun. A sunspot, 1263, is only getting bigger.. As a matter of fact, here is how SpaceWeather.com reports it:
Behemoth sunspot 1263 has almost doubled in size this weekend. A 28-hour movie from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the spot developing a tail that has added some 50,000 km of length to the active region. This development may increase the likelihood of a strong flare.
Watching and waiting… staring at the sun….
What a year!
And if they had to do it again, would they have stayed in the mine…?
Living in poverty: A year after the world was chilled watching Chilean miners get rescused on live TV, they still live in poverty and strife..
And not only dealing with poverty, but now they have to deal with fruit being hurled at their heads! Protesters threw fruit at the rescued miners, accusing them of being greedy..

For those up in the wee hours of the night..
Tonight/this morning’s Coast to Coast AM will be hosted by Ian Punnett and feature an interesting topic: The prospect of technology turning on us.
I think of that every morning when I use my electric shaver…what if it gets mad at me.

……this REALLY SCARES ME

The coal region gets a black eye for lack of things to do .. but this new thing to do is pretty cool
In your face America: The Coal Region has something that few others do. (Besides mounds of rock and leftover sulfur rivers from abandoned coal mines of course) A digital drive in! That’s right, The Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, PA, will have a digital drive in as of August 12.. There were only four of these in the United States. And we got it..
Now, some may say it will close down within weeks after people, not wanting to spend $7 a car and instead just $1, don’t attend. And others will say the hot dog prices are too cold. And some may even complain about strange radioactive digital pollution that is being placed into the brains of the subjects viewing the content on the side of the mall building, but I say, this is pretty cool while it lasts. And I hope it does last…
The area responsible for Mrs. T’s perogies and block party halushki will have what few others do: A modern 21st century digital drive in. It will be like a time machine watching people, dressed like it is 1985, going to a digital movie in the modern age.
