Coke as a sensible snack? Coca-Cola works with dietitians who suggest cola as snack
NEW YORK — Coca-Cola is working with fitness and nutrition experts who suggest its soda as a treat at a time when the world’s biggest beverage maker is being blamed for helping to fuel obesity rates
I just gulped a bit when I read this..
In the 1950s, doctors advertised smoking.
In the 2000teens, doctors will harp on the benefits of sugary drinks?
Sorry Coke, but THIS:

Move over, Reddit: Tumblr is the new front page of the Internet.
It’s the site that launched a thousand memes, including the dress — and it’s only getting started.
I have been telling my friend who loves the poorly designed REDDIT that Tumblr is the new social media of record.
But I still think all the memes and worthwhile Facebook nonsense comes from 4CHAN. That’s not changing any time soon..

More than 45,000 Russian troops as well as war planes and submarines started military exercises across much of the country on Monday in one of the Kremlin's biggest shows of force since its ties with the West plunged to Cold War-lows.
Looks like while Vlad was gone, some plans were put into motion..

Sirius founder envisions world of cyber clones, tech med
The founder of Sirius satellite radio is eager for a future where many of our chores are handled by sentient robots
Oh but there’s so much more than just robots taking out the trash.. try this:
At the keynote, Rothblatt described how the inevitable emergence of cyber consciousness – when machines act with a sophistication and thought level equal to that of humans – will not be overnight but a more subtle evolution.
"Every company will try to out-Siri Siri until we have consciousness," she said, referring to the Apple/iOS application that works as a personal assistant and navigator. "It will be like water that rises and rises and rises and, before we know it, we’re in an ocean of cyber consciousness."
And then what?
Lots of choices are coming for humanity. Lots of choices will not have to be made—and actually a lot of misery and heartache may occur as advancements become cruel to people trying to live out out their lives.
Progress.. The future. It’s all good. Until it goes bad.. Until one of those thinking machines thinks too much..
And I wonder, sometime about 1000 years from now, will robots ponder ‘who created me? Why am I here? What happens when I turn off?” We do. And we think. Or so we are told we think..
Rick Jervis in USA TODAY goes on to report:
Artificial intelligence and robotics have been key – and controversial – themes at this year’s SXSW. A slew of panel discussions and keynote speeches on the topic have drawn thousands of attendees, while films screening at the film festival portion of SXSW, such as Ex Machina and Creative Control, have addressed it in their plot lines.
The themes have also prompted protests outside the conference warning of an over-reliance on artificial intelligence to the detriment of humans. In one, a group of protestors held signs reading “Stop the Robots” while chanting “A-I Say Goodbye!”
Rothblatt said robots and humans don’t have to choose sides – such as in the plotlines seen in popular Hollywood movies – but will live in a peaceful co-existence that will make them virtually indistinguishable from one another.
"It’s not us versus cyberspace," she said. "We’re merging together."
She added: “We don’t want to create a new slave-versus-free motif. I’m all for merging everyone together. On the level of consciousness, we’re all one.”
We are all one.
Skin and bones. Gear and bytes.. We are the world.
We are the future..

DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS: Claim: ISIS fighters dress as women in desperate attempt to flee battlefield
Underneath the robes and veils, the men put on makeup, wore dresses and some even wore women’s bras; Others put on makeup but chose not to shave their facial hair.
Drudge picked up the story. Expect it to be the talk of your respective town by dinner hour..

DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS: Claim: ISIS fighters dress as women in desperate attempt to flee battlefield
The ghosts--literally--of 9/11?
For obvious reasons, I am careful when reporting ‘ghosts’ at Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Center attacks so many years ago..
But there is an article appearing in the NEW YORK POST about the subject of paranormal activity in relation to the infamous terror attack site.. Gary Busio writes about a number of workers at the Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island who were sifting the rubble from the 9/11 attacks reported seeing a female ghost holding a tray of sandwiches, a new book reveals..
Other police officers witnessed things, too, like large black masses and shadows. Some comments are mocking the story, others are accepting of it.
I did a bit more research on the book that the NY POST was talking about.
It’s called From Landfill to Hallowed Ground, by Frank Marra. Marra is a retired police officer. He also worked at the Staten Island Landfill World Trade Center Recovery Site from September 2001 until February 2002. The inspiration to write the book obviously came from the work he performed.. It does not seem that the entire book is dedicated to paranormal affairs, but instead offers an historic account of what it was like on the ground during the aftermath of the biggest crime scene in American history..

There are only two reviews at press time on AMAZON.. I think that number will increase with attention.
I am a firm believer that the paranormal is NOT real until it happens to you.
And it would appear many police officers now consider the paranormal to be very real..

Philadelphia-area residents see dollar signs in visit by Pope Francis
PAPAL FEVER in the city of brotherly love.. and as only Philly faces can do, people are taking advantage of the unique chance to see a Pope by inflating prices, gouging customers, and having a field day of unfairness when it comes to legally taking lots of cash from tourists who want the chance to see Francis..
What would Jesus do?
I think he’d order ‘wit’..

Broadcasting again: The UVB-76 Live Stream Blog
UVB-76 Station Live Internet Stream and Blog about The Buzzer, Number Stations, Shortwave Listening and Software Radio.
I think the buzzer is buzzing again. I am able to hear UVB-76 again on the live feed page.. It’s back to ‘normal,’ whatever that normal may be.
Meanwhile, I am on the Earthcam Moscow site. Traffic is moving as normal. I think.. “normal,” again..
I got a message earlier from someone asking why it would even matter if UVB-76 was down, or up, or broadcasting eerie messages. You can read some background from this January story on the HUFFINGTON POST UK page..
I also wrote a few bits about the numbers station and my intrigue and love for them during the history of this site.. one four months ago, another here showcasing one of the creepier numbers stations broadcasts I have ever heard, one a year ago when I celebrated the Clyde Lewis show where he played recordings of creepy media hijacks..
However, the best article I may have ever read on the UVB-76 story was by James Cook in THE KERNEL..
Lots of reading to do.. Lots of weird beeps and buzzing, oddities and frequencies.. Strange frequencies during the night. While you sleep, the numbers stations don’t.. And isn’t that the creepy part? Trying to relax while these strange messages beam around the planet?

If someone can confirm that UVB-76 is down or operational please contact me
The best way is on Twitter coalspeaker or on my Open Lines page..
I have a report that UVB-76 number station is currently down.
Amazing news.. anyone who follows knows this could be a big deal. There’s something big happening in Russia. Or some major international influences and propaganda are at work … but a numbers station like this being down is a little chilling .
Cinderella takes the top box spot.. but a horror 'Follows'
The family film secured $70 mil this weekend.. the audiences were primary women and primary families–66% for each category, respectively..
The horror film IT FOLLOWS got $40,000 or so per theater.. the tiny release will expand experts don’t see it expanding past 200 theaters but with this little film that could, who knows
Families and horror fans both happy with a weekend box..
Notbbad, Hollywood.. March madness.
