After the return of the verdict from the hugely publicized trial of 25-year old Casey Anthony, many questions still loomed as to what (if any) repercussions Cindy Anthony, Casey’s mother, would face, after her testimony ignited controversy.

enlarge No stranger to scandal but this one is a bit different, even for Teflon. Click here to view this media Amid the breaking news this morning that Newscorp/News International/Rupert Murdoch are abandoning their takeover bid for BskyB, and with the growing firestorm surrounding the phone hacking scandal at the now-defunct News Of The World becoming something of a Perfect Storm, questions are now being raised if in fact Rupert Murdoch will survive this scandal and if he will abandon the UK as any place to continue his empire. Bets are on he will, as he has done many times in the past. Whether his son James or his coveted, trusty assistant, confidant, whatever-she-is Rebekah Brooks will survive is another question. Odds are neither Rupert or James will be obliged to testify at the Home Affairs Select Committee Hearings, since neither are actual British Citizens (oh, that citizenship thing again), but Brooks will be since she is a British citizen, and it may make for very interesting theater on Tuesday (the day testimony is tentatively scheduled). As of yesterday there were calls by Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Sen. Jay Rockefeller to begin hearings on Newscorps’ possible violations here while stockholders in Delaware are making their discomfort known. It has also been mentioned by various sources there is a wave of gripping fear overtaking Fox News at the moment. As was indicated last week when the bomb was dropped over the closing of News Of The World, the story is changing constantly and quickly. At the rate this is going, it may change again by Friday. But for the moment, here is BBC Radio 4′s PM Program with the latest as of this morning (afternoon in the UK). Stay tuned. Technical note: there is a portion of a 1989 interview with Murdoch missing. It was missing on the PM broadcast.

July 13, 2011 No Comment
Consumers, it seems, aren’t quite ready to declare the devoted e-reader market dead just yet — according to IDC, the space is set to grow by 24 percent globally in 2011. That’s especially good news for Barnes & Noble, as the company pushed to the top of the e-reader race for Q1, edging out Amazon’s industry-defining Kindle . The bookseller’s lead came thanks to its multiple devices, including the recently introduced touchscreen Nook and the tablet-esque Nook Color . The research firm credits the latter with Barnes & Noble’s surge in the standings, explaining that the Kindle’s colorless state has negatively impacted sales. Check out the sadly uncolorful press release below.

The explosion occurred shortly before 7.30pm in the Broadfield Lane estate in Boston, a collection of light industrial outlets including a mechanic’s workshop and a vehicle wrecking yard. “Five men have been confirmed dead,” a police spokeswoman said. She added that a sixth man had been taken to Boston Pilgrim hospital and later transferred to the Queen’s medical centre in Nottingham. “Inquiries are ongoing and will be ongoing throughout the night to establish the cause of this explosion,” the spokeswoman said. “The circumstances at the moment are still unclear. There will be a full forensic examination of the unit,” she added. A spokesman for East Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We took a 999 call at 7.22pm this evening to attend an address on Broadfield Lane, Boston, Lincolnshire. We dispatched one double-crewed ambulance and transported one patient to Boston hospital. The call was to an explosion within an industrial unit. There have been fatalities.” Shazia Gill, of nearby Peck Avenue, said she had heard ambulances at 7.30pm.
