Hawaii's gentle breezes disappearing, but scientists don't know why

This headline reminded me of the scene in THE HAPPENING when the wind just stops..
Before the real storm.
Creepy and unsettling stuff that may be explainable with science but notable since it shows a major change in something is occurring.

Alexa Ray Joel on lots of stuff

I like Alexa Ray Joel—not as much as a friend who harbors a long standing crush on her.. But I find her talented like her dad. The problem is she doesn’t have the same attitude that tells the world to go to hell.

Here’s info on an interviewwith her in which she opened up about bullying and plastic surgery.. She appears to have never gotten over when Perez Hilton labeled her a slut at the age of 19..

Worth reading..

Whoa!

And asteroid four times closer than the moon just flew by earth.. It was the size of a truck..

Documents: U.S. mining data from 9 leading Internet firms; companies deny knowledge

U.S. intelligence has access to the servers of nine Internet companies as part of top-secret effort.

I suppose if the government would have attempted to extract data from Tumblr servers, they would have consistently received the same message that users typically receive when they try to update their websites: ‘WE’RE SORRY, SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE’

Police believe a 9-year-old boy was shot by a gunman who had been aiming at his mother’s boyfriend as they drove on the South Side.

Stories like this do nothing but make me sick… totally sick, and frustrated with the inhumanity people harbor..
