Reuters reports this tonight:
"Temperatures in China have plunged to their lowest in almost three decades, cold enough to freeze coastal waters and trap 1,000 ships in ice, official media said at the weekend."

Anonymous gets involved in Steubenville, OH, rape case; releases video of high school football stars bragging about brutal rape of girl…
The kids aren’t alright..
A disturbing story out of Ohio..
In Steubenville, OH, the football team is tops..
And most people are counting down days until the next season.
So when teenagers were accused of brutally raping a girl and urinating on her, it shocked the town.
Now even more shocking:The group Anonymous is invovled, even to the point where they are releasing videos of students joking about how brutal the rape was..
The hacked video was released by the group.. it shows teens laughing about the crime, and even commenting that the girl must have been dead because she wasn’t moving during the raping..
Many are now asking 'why' as the rape shocks the small city in Ohio..
The part of the story that may shock the city the most: The heralded football team is bragging in the video about the rape.. a part of the quote from the video:
“She is so raped,” he says. “Her puss is about as dry as the sun right now.” She’s “deader than a door nail,” and “deader than OJ’s wife”

You know how people are called 'crazy' for thinking governments are trying to control weather? Well the US and New Zealand tested a 'tsunami bomb' that would have been capable of destroying coastal cities
Hillary out.
Already out of the hospital, reports indicate that Secretary Clinton is already quite active..
Onto the White House in ‘16!?
For the record, Bubba is joining Hil in the photo..
The first First Man of the nation!?
Nothing can keep her down.

No turning back now... America over the cliff
Cnn: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he does not support a Senate deal to avert the fiscal cliff but that House GOP leaders have made no decisions on the bill’s fate.
Carson Daly sure got old. David Letterman was a rerun. And ABC with without Dick Clark. All the more reason to watch CNN’s odd mixture of real news with Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper. At one point it appears she went down on him.
As usual, lots of uncomfortable moments and strange ones, too. Such as when Kathy Griffin kept interrupting Cooper reporting that there was a late night fiscal cliff deal.
Strange stuff indeed. Cable TV. Weird.

The entire earth has flipped the calender to 2013.
And with it, we know, you can’t turn back the hands of time.
No matter how much you try.
Let’s make it a great year

A ROCKIN' NEW YEAR WITHOUT DICK CLARK JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT, DOES IT?
Welcome to the final minutes of the year 2012. Yes. Already. It was so looked forward to, and it is ending so quickly…
It’s minus Dick Clark this year, though. And that is notable. Fergie is showering ABC viewers tonight in the pre-game with Dick Clark related footage. Donna Summers is playing while the Doors are swaying. Yes, it’s a stroll down amnesia lane in the fast lane. Dick Clarkless 2013. No countdown with the master of Times Square this year.
The show goes on, of course. With Ryan Seacrest to help. Before Seacrest will be ‘out’ there will be a number of events that occur. A massive ball will drop in Times Square. Revelers will kiss their hearts out.. then race for port-a-potties and their hotel rooms. Maybe stop by a pub and have a cup of cheer..
All around the world, the events are taking place. Some places on Earth are already 2013. The Pope will have a homily about how peace could be achieved. Fireworks will fly high into the night sky.. People will embrace and raise their glasses of chosen adult or child beverage. And we will all be one (in a number of different time zones, of course.)
This is, after all, New Year’s Eve. It is a special kind of night.
Recall your fondest new years memories… I know you have them. It may be eating too much turkey in a bar somewhere in the deep dark mines of the Coal Region (the turkey was good. I swear).. or maybe it’s a quiet time in your own home with the people you love. Or maybe it’s working.. Hotels, bars, restaurants.. they are all open tonight. It’s a big night for the service industry… And depending on what services you’re looking for, and what services are being offered, maybe you’re even being serviced, I hope you’re all having a blast.
It seems like yesterday that 2000 hit us like a wrecking ball. Remember those days? People were worried computers would shut down. They stockpiled water and food. Sounds similar to the doomsayers of December 21, 2012, doesn’t it? The only difference is, back then, we partied like it was 1999. This go around we’ll be lamenting the late 90s and wishing they could come back all over again. Gas at a buck a gallon.. milk around 2.. life happy. But was it?
I don’t know.
After all, think of another fond saying people have on New Year’s Eve: “Out with the old, in with the new!” “This year will be better than the last!”
Is any year better?
Is any year new?
It’s all relative, in a way.
It’s only a calender that tells us we’ve swung from one set of 365 to the next. But the events of the day are still stagnant. Reality doesn’t tell time well. We simply measure our existence in the boundaries of it..
But what is time? What are hours, and minutes.. and days and years? I don’t know much about what they are besides what I grew up knowing. And the earth, as it rotates into infinity, allows us to make certain that time is told.
Time is a magazine.
And it’s an enemy.
So often.
And now, like we’ve done countless times before, we’re going to hold our lovers close, call the parents, and hope to keep a couple friends in the process. We have been down this road before. It seems very familiar to me, and I am sure to you.
As the clock ticks down the final minutes of 2012 here on the East Coast of the planet earth, let’s truly hope that 2013 is one that brings all those things we’ve wished for since we began wishing around this time of year: World peace, love across the continents, economy stability, good news, no storms, laughter, and memories to be fond of.
What we may find, as we herald in 2014, is that ‘13 was a mixture of good and bad, positive, and negative. We’ll look back on 12 months of war and hate. It will be peppered with stories of humanity and love, perseverance and kindness. And that’s just life as we know it. Living in America. And at the beginning of the millennium… (2013 still somewhat counts as a beginning, no?)
Since we’ve been down the road before of resolutions and hopes, let’s just calm ourselves down this go around and take it in stride. Don’t put too much pressure on a calender change to change your life. But certainly don’t give up trying to make it.
So happy new year. Raise a glass. Toast the past. Love always. Love deeply. Love actually.
525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure,
measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In
inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In 525,600 minutes - how do you
measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of
love.
Happy 2013.
I hope.
This is not good

The latest on Hillary Clinton's condition
CNN reporting:
She is expected to remain at New York Presbyterian Hospital for the next 48 hours so doctors can monitor her condition and treat her with anti-coagulants, said Philippe Reines, deputy assistant secretary of state.
"Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion," Reines said. "They will determine if any further action is required."
