41 year old former child TV star, Gary Coleman, is still in the news these days, but unfortunately its usually bad news. The police turned up at his home yesterday (January 24) in Santaquin City, Utah, in response to a civil disturbance call, but no criminal charges were filed. However, a computer check revealed a misdemeanor failure to appear in court warrant for Coleman, stemming from a domestic violence incident in 2009. He was arrested and booked, but was unable to get out of jail by posting a $1,725 bail. As of this morning, he was still in jail. Below is the latest Gary Coleman mugshot courtesy of the Utah County sheriff’s department. Somehow he doesn’t look too happy about this whole matter.

Check out the photos below, of a 12 story apartment building in China which tipped right over. This incident reportedly happened in June 2009 in the city of Shanghai, and resulted in the death of one construction worker.

The following is being reported as the cause:
(1) An underground garage was being dug on the south side, to a depth of 4.6 meters.
(2) The excavated dirt was being piled up on the north side, to a height of 10 meters.
(3) The building experienced uneven lateral pressure from south and north.
(4) This resulted in a lateral pressure of 3,000 tons, which was greater than what the pilings could tolerate. Thus, the building toppled over in the southerly direction.
