Brazilian Judge Orders Arrest of Google Executive

A Brazilian judge ordered the arrest of the president of Google's operations in Brazil, on Monday.

Last week Judge Flavio Peren, of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, ordered Google to remove two videos, from YouTube, which attacked Alcides Bernal, a mayoral candidate in Campo Grande.

When Google failed to immediately comply, the judge ordered a suspension of Google and YouTube, in the state.

Now, with the videos still up, Peren has issued a warrant for the arrest of the president of Google's operations in Brazil, Fabio Jose Silva Coelho.

In a statement, Google announced that they are appealing the judge's decision, pointing out that they are not responsible for the content on the sharing site.

EPA Being Sued For Poisoning Subjects

The Environmental Protection Agency is being sued over human experiments that they conducted.

In several instances they purposefully and deliberately exposed people to poisonous gasses.

Nor did the EPA inform their subjects that they were being exposed to harmful substances.

Science advocate Steven Milloy is leading the lawsuit and has created a website to publicly share the information he has on the experiments.

Milloy states that the experiments began in 2004 and have been continuously carried out since.

Radio Stations Evacuated Due to Beeping Package

Several radio stations were evacuated, Tuesday morning, in Los Angeles.

Two suspicious packages were delivered to KNX-AM 1070, and one of them was beeping.

KFWB radio and K-Earth-FM 101 were also evacuated, as they share the building.

An LA bomb squad was sent to check out the packages, which were eventually determined to be carrying promotional items, for radio show hosts.

The beeping had been coming from an alarm clock.

NFL Has Become an Embarrassment

Every year the NFL, and every sport, sees bad calls made. Humans make mistakes. Tis the very reason challenges and reviews are in existence.

For the NFL this year was going to be a challenge. The regular refs went on strike and refused to work til their pay was increased. The NFL was unwilling to do so. Instead they brought in replacements, and they've been  dramatically wanting in their judgment abilities, with horrible calls being made every week.

Last night was the highlight of such, mostly due to it's being the first one that actually was a game deciding call. With eight seconds remaining, in a game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, there was a dramatic hail mary pass, which even the NFL admits shouldn't have counted, due to an uncalled interference call.

Even greater confusion immediately followed. The nearest refs, both of whom had failed to call the interference, looked at each other and then gave differing responses as to whether it was a touch down or an interception, eventually the decided to call it a touchdown.

From there the play went right to official review. When the official came back, he decided that it was indeed a touchdown. The NFL has backed this decision, calling it a simultaneous catch, which by NFL rules, goes to the passing team.

Unfortunately for the official, the rest of the refs, and the NFL everyone else who watches the replay can clearly see that it was an interception, not a simultaneous catch. The Seahawks did not win, the Packers had victory robbed from them, by the referees. There were several chances for the call to be overturned, as it rightly should have been, but they were not taken.

Now we are left wondering, would the NFL have been better off if the ref lockout had kept play from happening at all. The NFL would have been hurt by that, but at least it wouldn't have become the embarrassment it is now.

Seven Killed in Turkish Explosion

Seven members of Turkey's security forces were killed Tuesday.

The vehicle they were traveling in exploded, as they traveled through Tunceli.

It is unclear if the explosion was caused by a mine or if something struck the vehicle.

Kurdish rebels are being blamed for the attack.

MySpace Announces Latest Redesign

MySpace has announced it's latest redesign, and you can sign up to test it out.

The site used to be the top social media place on the internet, but Facebook and Twitter have definitely taken that from them.

Since 2005, they've gone through multiple owners and looks.

Now, partially owned by Justin Timberlake, the site is focusing all the more so on it's music wing, and integration with Facebook and Twitter.

Focus is clearly now on becoming the top social music site.

The new look contains such things as a Discover tab which offers access to trending artists, music, mixes, radio, videos, news, and upcoming concerts; and the Artist Pages which will be an easy access playlist to any song or video by your favorite artists.

If you're looking for a preview, it is now available.

Zombie Bees Found in Washington

Zombie bees have now been confirmed in Washington state, they had previously only been found in California, South Dakota, and Oregon. A novice bee keeper in Seattle discovered that some of his bees had been infected, he brought his story to local universities and the Seattle Times.

San Francisco State University biologist John Hafernik uses the movie of Alien to describe what happens to the bees.

Adult females, smaller than a fruit fly, land on the backs of foraging honeybees and use their needle sharp ovipositors to inject eggs into the bee's abdomen. The eggs hatch into maggots. They basically eat the insides out of the bee. After consuming their host, the maggots pupate, forming a hard outer shell that looks like a fat, brown grain of rice. Three to four weeks later adults are born.

It's unclear why flies started doing this in 2008, but the implications are frightening. Bees are responsible for pollinating most plants in the world, especially farm crops. If bee populations are hurt by this, it could effect quantity of crops as well.

That's not exactly encouraging words after this summer, which saw some of the worst droughts in decades. Shortages of many foods are quite possible, even in the US, next year.
