Jul 30, 1966:The Troggs take their signature hit, "Wild Thing," to #1
If there is one song that has been played more times by more bands in more garages than any ever written, it is probably "Louie Louie," The Kingsmen's classic 1966 hit. But if any other song warrants a place in the conversation, it would be "Wild Thing," the three-chord masterpiece that became a #1 hit for The Troggs on this day in 1966 and instantly took its rightful place in the rock-and-roll canon. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-troggs-take-their-signature-hit-quotwild-thingquot   updated 3:18 AM EDT, Tue July 31, 2012 7 7

After the fall of the House of Assad, could Syria be worse? Recent events have left Syria watchers near breathless: government loss of control of border crossings into Iraq and Turkey, rebels temporarily holding portions of Damascus, the unexplained movement of some of Syria's extensive arsenal of chemical weapons, and fighting spreading to the streets of the traditional Alawite stronghold of Aleppo.

Seattle icon J.P. Patches dies at 84 The J.P. Patches show ran from 1958 to 1981.
SEATTLE— Chris Wedes, who performed around the Puget Sound as the clown J.P Patches since 1958, died on Sunday, a family member confirmed. He was 84 years old. The J.P. Patches show began airing in Seattle in 1958 and ran through 1981. At one point, the audience for the daily television program reached 100,000 children. Wedes continued to perform as Patches until his retirement last year. Wedes came to Seattle from Minneapolis, where he had been performing as J.P. Patches for a year. His show was among the first that KIRO TV ever aired. Viewers were known as Patches Pals. "I was a Patches Pal, I forget how old I was when I was on the show for my Birthday, & JP gave me a present, a diving sub! put a little tablet in & it dives down & surface up, way cool for that time. (I known I giving away my age :) I've never forgot that! R.I.P. JP'

Our brain processes information obtained from different media in different ways. It remains fairly passive when dealing with video on a screen, but when you read, your brain kicks into high gear and works in an entirely different way. In a book on this subject titled Amusing Ourselves to Death, author Neil Postman asserts that the way your brain works while reading is not just different, it's better. Reading requires interactive, intellectual involvement. Watching a screen does not. It's as simple as that.
