  The horror dates back to 1994, when three teenagers were convicted of murdering three boys in Arkansas. The murders were brutal, and because of those conditions, the investigation turned to Satanic cult activities.  Damien Echols, in particular, was a dropout who liked witchcraft and wearing black, so police questioned a friend of his, Jessie Misskelly.  After a lengthy interrogation, Misskelly had confessed to the murders, implicating Echols as well as Jason Baldwin. He later recanted his confession, but the ball was already rolling.  A documentary in 1996 cast doubt on the events, but it wasn't until 2007 that lawyers became involved and found that there was no DNA connecting the men to the crime. In 2010, as the Arkansas Supreme Court was considering new trials, their attorneys reached an agreement to accept an Alford plea.  It allows for the men to maintain their innocence while the state maintains their case against them. On this day in 2011, the West Mem...

  Scientists have discovered a hidden ecosystem deep beneath Michigan and the Great Lakes. Subsurface water samples contained 689 distinct fungal species, including 13 that have never been formally described.   "We propose in the paper that we may be meaningfully underestimating the biomass and diversity of fungi on the planet because we've never incorporated the subsurface into estimates of global fungi biodiversity," says doctoral candidate, Quinn Moon. This also means subsurface carbon could be more biologically active than previously thought, with these organisms transforming the ancient material into gas. The samples also included tardigrades, rotifers, and tiny segmented worms, which suggests an underground food web. The study focused on the Antrim Shale, an organic-rich rock formation buried beneath much of the Great Lakes region.  The water itself was evaluated and determined to be from ice sheets that melted across Michigan, "last in contact with the surface...

  It's not what I'm currently reading, but it's the topic that reminded me we haven't had a Book Club this month! Ian Fleming died on this day, 1964. Dr. No was written in 1958, and his first Bond book, Casino Royale , was written in 1953. The final book released, after his death, was The Man with the Golden Gun.  His publisher then released a collection of short stories that would make up later Bond movies, Octopussy and the Living Daylights. I've only read the one in photo, and it was enjoyable. ** As for what I'm actually reading, I started a book recommended by my aunt and my sister, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I'm in the early stages, but it's setting an interesting stage. What are you reading??
