British psychic Sally Morgan has won a $200,000 settlement plus her legal costs from the Daily Mail after the paper accused her of using an earpiece to scam a Dublin audience into believing she received messages from the dead. The suit alleged that some audience members had heard staffers backstage saying things that she then repeated onstage by use of a concealed earpiece. It was found, however, that she was not using an earpiece and the conversation overheard backstage was not among her staffers and did not relate to what she was saying onstage. The verdict did not state that there was proof that she was talking with the dead, but that she did not use the trickery alleged.

Michael Hastings, a contributor to Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed, died on Tuesday morning in a fiery automobile accident in Los Angeles at the age of 33. The engine of the 2013 Mercedes he was driving was found a hundred feet from the burned out ruin of the car itself. When the accident took place, local residents thought a bomb had exploded. The Los Angeles Police Department immediately ruled out foul play. In a Tweet, the Wikileaks organization said, "Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him."

He is best known for his 2010 Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, then commander of US Military forces in Afghanistan.read more

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
