Sheriff's Office Releases Chase Video Of 7-year-old Driver
The Weber County Sheriff's Office released dash-cam video of a 7-year-old boy who went to great lengths to get out of going to church on July 26. He took the family car and led police on a low-speed chase.
The boy told deputies it was just too hot to go to church, so he went for a joyride. His parents had no idea their car and their child was missing.

A new black spot on Jupiter was likely caused by an impact over the weekend that took astronomers by surprise.
Slightly smaller across than Earth, the temporary spot was caused by a recent but unobserved comet or asteroid impact, said Glenn Orton, an astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
"It's very clear that this is an impact," Orton said.
First spotted by Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley on July 19, the blemish appears as a dark gray blob on the gas giant's south pole.

The Kindle And Your Rights
In case you never heard of the book 1984 it was a very famous book written by George Orwell about a despotic government controlling every aspect of its citizens’ lives via technology. For example, you didn’t just watch TV; the TV watched you. Amazon started distributing the book via its Kindle device and then got into an argument with the publisher that resulted in them deleting any copies off the Kindles they had already sold them too. And they did so without telling anyone.

Woman Who Boiled Man's Head Jailed
A woman in China who boiled a man's head in a soup because she believed it would cure her daughter's psychiatric problems has been given a suspended one-year jail sentence, a local newspaper said Tuesday.
Lin Zongxiu, from the southwestern province of Sichuan, heard in 2008 that soup made with a man's head could help cure her daughter who had suffered from psychiatric problems for years, the Chengdu Commercial Newspaper reported.
Lin and her husband decided to enlist the help of a man in December who knocked unconscious a drunk 76-year-old passer-by before beheading him, the paper said.
Note: The picture is a random image of soup in a pot, without the human head.
