According to Glenn Beck statement in the front of his American Revival Tour crowd, he might lost his eyesight due to the current condition of his eyes and he need time for his health just to keep his vision.
According to BEST news, the diagnosis came a couple of weeks ago from what appeared to be a routine eye test with his doctor. Tests later revealed that the problems Beck was experiencing with his eyes not focusing, was down to the relatively rare genetic disorder

Mel Gibson dead rumors are all over the internet, part of the bad press the actor has been getting lately.
Why? Because they have more fan following than the celebs of other fields. We have been witnessing about the rumors of the celebs’ deaths and others on them. The latest to hit the screens is about the star,
who is on bigger headlines these days due to his racist comments and the release of audio-tape in which he uses the derogatory language with his ex-girlfriend, Mel Gibson. Yes, the new hoax is ‘Mel Gibson Dead’.
‘Mel Gibson Dead’ has been circulating like a wildfire on all the search engines of the world. This will surely disturb his fans a lot since he is already in big troubles.
Although these kinds of rumors have no effects at all on the people now as all and sundry know now about this trend and now when this ilk of hoax hits the screen, no one believes it and moves ahead instead.
‘Mel Gibson is Dead’ will not exist long on the trends today and it will soon vanish from the keywords’ list since the fans do not want to get themselves deep inside this hoax as it is a big time waste but ‘yes’ they are more crazy about knowing the other fronts of his life such as the custody case of his daughter and the matter of his racist and rant comments.
Gibson is not dead, but he doesn’t seem to be doing too good either.
A lot of negative things have happened in his life in the last few weeks, culminating with the release of the tapes in which he is threatening his ex-girlfriend.
Now it would seem that the actor has decided to move away from Australia and the embarrassing situation in which he is. What’s even more interesting is that he is planning to move to Australia with ex-wife Robyn.
He has already sold his New York house and his California home is also on the market.
Gibson will be moving Down Under with ex-wife Robyn and some of their children.
So just take your mind away from the hoax ‘Mel Gibson Dead’.

World Expo Shanghai organizers unveiled a red, traditional design for the China Pavilion as construction on the structure started Tuesday morning.
The structure is named as “the crown of the East” as its most distinct feature is the roof. It will be made of traditional dougong brackets, which have a history of more than 2,000 years.
The dougong style features wooden brackets fixed layer upon layer between the top of a column and a crossbeam. Some important buildings in the Forbidden City and Summer Palace in Beijing feature elaborate dougong-style roofs.
The landscaping will be in the Jiangnan-garden style, which can be seen in cities such as Yangzhou or Suzhou, both in Jiangsu Province.
China Pavilion’s design was chosen from 344 entries submitted from all over the world and revised by experts, the organizers said.
The China Pavilion, covering an area of 6.52 hectares, will host a 20,000-square-meter exhibition inside based on the theme “Chinese wisdom in urban development” by explaining values about harmony, nature and spirit.
It will also include a national pavilion, a joint pavilion for provinces and cities as well as separate pavilions for Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Each province or city will get a 600-square-meter exhibition area in the pavilion.
Organizers have also launched a worldwide search for exhibition designs. Winning entries will be published in mid April.
Construction of the pavilion will be completed in two years.
The picture shows the layout of China Pavilion in the World Expo Shanghai 2010 site.
