A ghost-hunter chasing women was arrested for allegedly firing a BB gun at a car that stopped near her home so its occupants could explore a "haunted tunnel." The group had heard the tunnel was haunted and planned to take some photos of it.

Nearby neighbor, 28-year-old Brandi Lea Amey, came out of her home and told the group to leave. As they were driving away, she is alleged to have pulled out a BB gun and fired at the rear of the vehicle. She was charged with five counts of aggravated assault. The incident took place near the Sensabaugh Hollow Railroad tunnel in Church Hill Tennessee.

Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power station was destroyed in the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, but instead of the cleanup reducing radiation leaks, it has now become clear that extremely dangerous Strontium-90 is entering regional ground water at an ever increasing rate. This is believed to come from a crack in reactor two, but TEPCO refuses to confirm this. Right now, contaminated water is stored in huge drums on the facility site, but if there is a reactor crack, the amount of contaminated water will over time become enormous. TEPCO claims that it has plans to filter the radioactive material out of the water and release it into the ocean.read more

They are claiming that the government lied, and that the flight was indeed brought down by an external explosion.read more

What region in the US is the fattest? We used to assume it was the South, but Southern researchers dispute that–they say it’s the Midwest.
Statistician George Howard says, "The obesity epidemic is overwhelming the US, and there’s this strong perception that Mississippi and Alabama are number one and number two in obesity–fighting for fattest place. We were thinking since people living in the South are generally more hypertensive and have higher rates of diabetes and stroke, it would be the fattest region, but when we looked at our data, people in the South were really not the fattest."
