The entertainment/gossip Web site TMZ.com has been leading the charge on Michael Jackson mania for more than two weeks, starting with being the first to break the news of his death June 25.
The site has covered the story in excruciating, almost minute, detail, but amid the peephole-reporting, someone at TMZ may have had just a little bit too much time on his or her hands. The site has come up with a truly bizarre set of coincidences involving Jackson and the number 7.
We thought we'd share it with you.
Cue "The Twilight Zone" theme music, if you'd like:
Jackson signed his will on July 7, 2002.
Jackson's memorial was on July 7, 2009, exactly seven years after the will was signed.
Jackson's two biggest hits , "Black & White" and "Billie Jean," were each No. 1 for seven weeks.
Jackson's three biggest albums, "Thriller," "Bad" and "Dangerous," each produced seven top 40 hits.
Jackson was the seventh of nine children.
Jackson was born in 1958: 19 + 58 = 77
Jackson died on the 25th: 2 + 5 = 7
Jackson has seven letters each in his first and last names.

SOCHI, Russia - It is virtually impossible for athletes to stay uninjured while competing in the Olympics.
VISIT 9NEWS' OLYMPIC ZONE FOR MORE STORIES: http://on9news.tv/olympics
Heidi Kloser got injured early on and used crutches in the opening ceremonies.
Team USA has a state-of-the-art facility in Sochi, headed by an orthopedic surgeon from Crested Butte.
Doctor Gloria Beim is the Chief Medical Officer for Team USA in Sochi. Beim says she would rather not be needed, of course, but if something happens, athletes have everything in Sochi to treat them.
"We have brought a lot of our equipment that we normally use at home," Beim said. "The athletes walk into our personal sports medicine clinic, which is in their housing, and they're familiar with everything. That makes a huge difference."
Gloria says what makes her job easier here is that she speaks Russian. She's been studying it for seven months in her car, which is amazing considering how hard Russian is.
But she gets around and says it helps the team that she can talk to the locals.

Palmer looking to bounce back
San Francisco (54-72) vs. Florida (65-62), Thurs., 12:45 p.m. PT
SAN FRANCISCO -- With a career ERA of 23.14, it's pretty much a lock that things can only get better for right-hander Matt Palmer when the Giants rookie makes his second Major League start on Thursday against the Florida Marlins."I wasn't recognizing anything," Palmer said when asked if he recognized himself while watching tape of his debut, a 2 1/3-inning stint that led to seven hits, four walks and six runs in a 11-5 loss at Atlanta on Thursday. "I was just trying to throw a strike. My balls were moving off the plate so much, I was like, 'OK, throw it down the middle.' That's what I had to throw, and unfortunately, it was getting hit." Palmer said the Giants coaches had pointed out a couple of mechanical flaws with his debut performance. No. 1 on the list of fixes was straightening up his posture; Palmer had been dipping his left shoulder too low as he came to the plate, throwing off his equilibrium and putting his control out of whack. "Where I'm supposed to keep my shoulders tall, I was getting down low," Palmer said. "I was falling off the mound, which is just another sign of how I was out of rhythm with myself. I'm kind of glad they spotted it for me." With Jonathan Sanchez's MRI not showing anything more significant than a shoulder strain, it's not clear how long Palmer's presence will be required in San Francisco. Not that the 29-year-old -- a seven-year veteran of the Minor Leagues -- is fazed by such news. "I'm so glad for the opportunity," Palmer said. "I don't care if it's one day, 10 days, five days, the rest of my life. I'm glad I'm here, I've done it, and I'm going to keep doing what I did in Double-A, Triple-A and everywhere else. I know I can do it." Pitching matchup
SF: RHP Matt Palmer (0-1, 23.14 ERA)
Palmer hadn't pitched in six days prior to his struggles against the Braves, which might have partly accounted for his ineffectiveness. He walked four and threw only 35 strikes in 66 pitches. FLA: RHP Josh Johnson (3-0, 3.38 ERA)
Johnson picked up the no-decision, and the Marlins dropped their first game in seven Johnson starts this year. The 6-foot-7 right-hander left after throwing 112 pitches through six innings with a two-run lead, but the Cubs hit a three-run homer in the ninth to get the win. Johnson allowed three runs on five hits while walking three and striking out eight -- which ties his career high. Tidbits
Asked about the recent spate of players around the league facing disciplinary action for not hustling, Giants manager Bruce Bochy recalled the tactics of Dick Williams, Bochy's former manager in San Diego from 1983-1985. "We were in Spring Training one year, and Dick Williams [and the Padres coaches], they had a watch on you, and if you didn't get down to first base in under five seconds, you came out of the game," said Bochy, who joked about his speed as a catcher. "I was kind of like Bengie [Molina]. I couldn't run, so they couldn't tell if I was hustling or not." . . . So, Bochy was asked, could you get to first in five seconds? "Yeah," Bochy said. "It was bang-bang. It was [measured] in hundredths of a second, but I could do it." ... Bochy said the team brass will hold discussions this week to decide who will be on the Giants' September call-up list. Bochy admitted it will be a smaller group than usual, given that 15 rookies have already made their debut this season. ... Pablo Sandoval, who made his second start of the season at first base, has been taking grounders across the diamond at third, and it's still possible the Giants may try him there, according to Bochy. ... Giants outfielder Nate Schierholtz was 1-for-5 with an RBI in the U.S. Olympic team's, 4-2, 11-inning win against Japan on Wednesday. The Americans will face Cuba on Friday in the semifinals. Tickets

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville Mayor Karl Dean on Friday filed legislation to revamp the Hickory Hollow Mall off Interstate 24 in southeast Davidson County.
The proposal is part of the mayor's second capital spending plan and includes $18 million for the development of a regional community center, library, public health center and multi-acre public park in and around the mall's north wing.
During a press conference at the mall Friday, Dean also announced plans to build a state-of-the-art expo center in the former Dillard's department store to house the flea market and other annual expo events currently held at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds.
"These new public facilities will breathe new life into Hickory Hollow Mall and benefit the surrounding retail and commercial areas by attracting more visitors and creating a more stable business environment," Dean said.
In total, the mayor's plan includes more than $200 million in capital improvement projects, with an additional $31 million in self-funded projects.
Other community projects include creating two new police precincts, $15.5 million in new sidewalks and bikeways, $20 million in road and infrastructure improvements, and construction of the 28th Avenue Connector, among others.
Mayor Dean originally announced his community improvement plans in his annual State of Metro Address in late April but put off filing legislation when the city flooded two days later.
"Work on flood recovery continues, but we're now at a point where we feel comfortable moving ahead with new capital projects," Dean said. "Even more than that, I feel that this is the right time for this capital spending plan because it is focused on projects that will strengthen our neighborhoods and communities." The capital spending plan was filed with the Metro Clerk's Office Friday. It must be approved by the Metro Council in the form of an initial bond resolution.

Golden day for Arthur and Brenda
7:00am Saturday 25th January 2014 in News By Joel Holt
A COUPLE who have been married for 50 years will celebrate their golden day with their loved ones at the weekend.
Arthur Thomas, 76, and his wife Brenda, 77, are planning a meal with their family to mark the occasion.
"We will celebrate together with our very close family," said Mrs Thomas. "We'd also like to have an open house for people to come and visit us." "We're looking forward to going out for a meal with our family."
The couple met at a church service in London in April 1963, where Mr Thomas was ministering. Love blossomed and they got engaged a month later, marrying at Gabalfa Baptist Church, Cardiff on January 25, 1964.
They moved to Salisbury about 20 years later, with their son Lorne and daughter Rachel, settling in Manor Farm Road, Salisbury.
Mr Thomas travelled the world as part of his ministry duties but was unable to continue in retirement due to health problems.
They are both keen members of the congregation of St Paul's church and spend a lot of time there. Mrs Thomas also enjoys swimming, pilates, going to the gym and folk dancing. "We've had a long and happy marriage," she added.
"Every day is precious and our children have been brilliant. Life's been a challenge." Mr and Mrs Thomas also have two grandchildren, Gemma and Thomas.

Brand Name or Generic?
Are generics as safe and effective as brand-name drugs?
Not always. Everyone needs to be cost-conscious, but in some cases brand-name drugs are better than generics. Generic painkillers like acetaminophen are fine, but I do not recommend generics when I prescribe hormone-based drugs (birth control pills, thyroid medications) or antidepressants, all of which require extremely precise dosages.
But don't generics have to be identical to the brand-name ones by law?
No. Although the FDA requires a generic to be bioequivalent to the brand-name drug, they are not exactly the same. That means you may get either a little more of a medication, or a little less, which could make a big difference. Generics can also have different fillers and may dissolve at different rates.
How do I figure out if a generic is right for me?
Talk to your doctor about what she would do in your situation. Bring all your prescription and nonprescription drugs -- not just a list -- so that she knows their exact brands, dosages, and expiration dates and can help you make an informed decision.
On my insurance plan generics cost less, so I switched to one. How can I tell if it's working as well?
Ask yourself: Does the generic drug's effect last as long? Does it cause any side effects? Even if you feel fine, talk to your doctor about the change you've made. She can monitor the way that your body is responding to the new medication at your next visit.

It's a rare bit of positive news for a company that has endured massive losses and continued chatter over its ability to survive through the year.
Following reports of displays flickering, Apple has issued a firmware update to fix the problem.
The fix for recent flickering problems on new Mac Mini systems will come in the form of a driver update from Intel.
Following its first round of updates, Apple has released another EFI firmware update for MacBook Pro models.

Play, family and school are important parts of a child's life. When illness, injury or hospitalization disrupts these normal activities and relationships, the result is often increased fear and anxiety – not only for the ill child but the entire family. Child and Family Life at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital provides many programs and activities that create normalcy, comfort and a little bit of fun during their healthcare journey. We use play-based activities and interventions to facilitate coping and adjustment under circumstances that can often feel overwhelming.
Programs and Services
The Department of Child and Family Life offers many programs and activities that help children and families gain coping skills, minimize stress and anxiety, promote healthy development, increase self-esteem, and reduce fear and isolation. We help families continue to be families when a child is sick.
- Activity Therapy provides play opportunities for children in a non-threatening environment. Bedside activities are provided for patients who aren't able to leave their rooms.
- Art Therapy uses art to help patients build long-term coping skills.
- Music Therapy encourages patients to express feelings, and promote relaxation through music.
- Medical Play and Procedure Preparation helps reduce patients' anxieties about medical procedures by educating them about diagnoses, procedures and treatments.
- Hospital School Program has certified teachers who are on staff to assist children in keeping up with their schoolwork.
- Family Center offers a comfortable and relaxing environment for families with children in the hospital.
About Us
As one of the first established programs in the nation, Child and Family Life at the University of Michigan Health System has advocated for ill children and their families since 1922. Established as a hospital school program through a generous donation from the Ann Arbor Kiwanis Club, the department has grown into what we know today through the generosity of many organizations and individuals.

The Child and Family Life department consists of a unique and multi-talented group of individuals. Our staff includes:
- activity therapists
- activity therapist associates
- art therapists
- a music therapist
- certified child life specialists
- certified hospital teachers
We hold degrees and certifications in a variety of disciplines, including child development, therapeutic recreation, art therapy, music therapy and education.
Get Involved
Special entertainment and events, such as puppet shows, theatrical or musical performances, or specialized craft activities can bring much happiness to a hospitalized child and his or her family. All interested groups are required to review our entertainment guidelines and fill out an application. All applications are reviewed for appropriateness of activity, size and ages of the visiting group, and scheduling availability. Filling out an application does not guarantee acceptance of scheduling a visit, but we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Child and Family Life relies on fundraising and generous financial gifts for the half of its budget that is not subsidized by the University of Michigan Health System. Child and Family Life activities are not paid for by insurance or by patient families.

Clinical Trials
Stanford's cutting-edge research
The following is some of the research that Blood and Marrow Transplant Program doctors have recently been involved with:
- Cellular therapeutics—translational research investigating specific cell populations, such as regulatory T-cells, cytokine induced killer (CIK) cells, tumor vaccines, and memory T-cells
- Graft vs host disease—investigating novel approaches to the prevention and treatment of graft vs host disease
- Haploidentical hematopoietic (blood forming) cell transplantation
- Pioneered novel TLI/ATG allogeneic preparative regimen, which reduces rates of graft vs host disease and lowers transplant-related risks in select disease types
Before beginning treatment, ask your doctor about any clinical trials you should consider. Learn more about clinical trials for cancer patients.
Clinical trial eligibility flowcharts
Eligibility flowcharts map clinical trials to specific types of cancers to determine if a participant is eligible for the particular clinical trial. View all blood and marrow transplant eligibility flowcharts at the Stanford Cancer Institute.
For Patients
Review the New Patient Packet for information about:
- What to expect on the day of your appointment
- Maps, directions, parking, public transit options, and contact information
- Other patient resources
The initial evaluation process begins with a referral from your hematologist or oncologist to a Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program doctor. After this referral, the Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplant Program new patient coordinator will call you with an appointment date and time.
Bring completed forms found in the BMT New Patient Letter.
Please fax the Medical Record Release Form to your new patient coordinator. The medical release form is an authorization form for external facilities to release medical records to Stanford Health Care (formerly Stanford Hospital & Clinics).

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.
