Huge tornado strikes northern Italy
Amateur video distributed via YouReporter, a web portal for citizen journalists, showed dramatic scenes from towns and villages close to the regional capital of Bologna. Footage from the small village of Bentivoglio showed the tornado cone directly over the town, whipping up debris into the air. Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported that 11 people were injured and several houses were damaged. The governor of Emilia Romagna, Vasco Errani, asked the central government to declare a state of emergency.

Fox Pulls ‘Family Guy’ Clip that Portray's Boston Marathon Bombing
Creepy, The Theories Are Flying Already: People Are Saying This Family Guy Episode Predicted Boston Marathon Bombing? (2 Different Clips.. Same Episode)
Fox pulled an episode of the “Family Guy” animated comedy from the Fox.com and Hulu websites after scenes were altered to resemble the Boston Marathon bombings and posted on YouTube.The episode, “Turban Cowboy,” which aired in mid-March, was taken down, the network said yesterday. Scenes from the episode were combined, showing the cartoon family’s father running over athletes in his car and inadvertently using a mobile phone to set off blasts to win the race.
“The edited ‘Family Guy’ clip currently circulating is abhorrent,” Seth MacFarlane, the show’s creator, wrote in a Twitter post. “The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims.”
Fox, based in Los Angeles, declined to make any additional comment. TV networks often alter schedules to avoid airing sensitive material following natural disasters or tragedies like the Newtown, Connecticut, school shootings in December.
Authorities are combing the site of the two April 15 explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The blasts killed three people and wounded more than 170. Evidence suggests the bomber used weapons made from metal pressure cookers to maximize the charge, according to investigators.

Yesterday's Light Bulb' Solar Storm Erupts from Active Sun
An enormous sun eruption, shaped like a giant glowing light bulb, was captured by a veteran spacecraft that closely monitors our nearest star. NASA scientists dubbed the sun storm a solar "Eureka! moment."
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, which is a joint mission by NASA and the European Space Agency, snapped the new photos of the bulbous, light bulb-shaped coronal mass ejection as it erupted from the sun's surface on Aug. 20.
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are massive clouds of plasma and charged particles that are unleashed into space during strong solar storms. When powerful CMEs are aimed directly at Earth, they can cause geomagnetic and solar radiation storms, which have the potential to disrupt power grids and communications infrastructure on the ground. These solar eruptions can also knock out satellites in space.
The light bulb-shaped CME seen by the SOHO spacecraft has a bright core, surrounded by a very thin, wispy outer edge. It's not uncommon for CMEs to have a rounded shape, but according to NASA officials, it has been years since one took on the appearance of a light bulb.
In the new image, the white circle at the center represents the solar disk, and the photo includes the inner solar corona region up to a staggering 5.25 million miles (8.4 million kilometers) away from the sun, NASA officials said.
SOHO captured photos of the fun-shaped CME on Aug. 20, when a series of eruptions were unleashed from the sun. The spacecraft used its Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) C2 instrument to make the observations.
This instrument is capable of snapping images of the outer layer of the sun, known as the corona, by blocking out the sun's light and creating an artificial eclipse within the instrument, NASA officials explained.
SOHO was launched into space in December 1995, and uses 12 different science instruments to stare at the sun. The spacecraft is located roughly 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) away, near a region called the Lagrange Point 1 between Earth and the sun, where gravitational forces combine to create a relatively stable environment.
