Michael Jackson's Son Becomes Celebrity Journalist, Discovers Meaning of 'Irony'
"Hiding, getting away. You can't go that way because they're over there, we won't, let's go this way and pretend we're going that way and we'll go that way. Someone should say HOLD ON, STOP. This person deserves their privacy. You are not allowed to go there. I mean I go around the world dealing with, running, and hiding, you can't…I can't take a walk in the park. I can't go to the store. I can't. I have to hide in a room, you feel like you're in prison."That harrowing, almost literary passage is Michael Jackson discussing the paparazzi with Barbara Walters in 1997, as transcribed by a fan site. And yet in the same interview, Jackson discussed selling pictures of his first son to the National Enquirer and other tabloids when his eldest child, commonly known as Prince Michael Jackson, was born earlier that year.
Jimi Hendrix's Grave Is Robbed Again With Latest 'Earth Blues' Exhumation
Jimi Hendrix returns on March 5, with the release of People, Hell and Angels, billed as the first compilation of previously unreleased Hendrix material since 1997's First Days of the New Rising Sun. Of course, "unreleased" is a phrase that can slickly be used to mean "alternate versions of songs that have been released more than once before." That's the case with "Earth Blues."A studio version of "Earth Blues," featuring the Ronettes (!!!), appeared on 1971's Rainbow Bridge soundtrack. Another studio version, still with those "love, love, love" backing vocals, surfaced on that 1997 First Days release. A live version has also been released from the storied sessions at New York's Fillmore East that spawned the 1970 Band of Gypsys live album.This latest "Earth Blues" doesn't have much to add.
Hear How to Destroy Angels and Beastie Boys Goodies Over the Phone
Press the pound sign for "probably inevitable now that we think about it." If the humble cassette tape could mount a mini-comeback, then of course listening to music over the phone would stand a chance at enjoying its own retro moment.Late last year, ecstatic L.A. racket-makers Foot Village premiered their entire new album, Make Memories (due out March 19 via Northern Spy) over the phone. The ploy brought to mind how music-by-phone was an actual thing before widespread broadband Internet use, whether through They Might Be Giants' famous Dial-A-Song service or MCI Communications' short-lived 1-800-MUSIC-NOW.
Clive Davis, Influential Record Executive, Comes Out as Bisexual
Clive Davis, a towering figure in the music business, has come out as bisexual.Sony Music's chief creative officer, who has helped launch the careers of Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Janis Joplin, and many more, made the revelation in an interview airing today on Katie Couric's new talk show Katie, as the Hollywood Reporter points out. "I'm still attracted to women," Davis said in a preview clip. "You don't have to be only one thing or another. For me, it's the person." The 80-year-old father of four also stressed that he's "in a monogamous relationship."These personal disclosures come alongside reminiscences about the likes of Springsteen, Houston, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, and Foo Fighters in Davis' new memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life, according to Rolling Stone.
Phoenix Debut Catchy 'Entertainment' on BBC Radio 1
BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe said on the air today he doesn't know whether Adele is performing at the Academy Awards — yes, she is — but he has a copy of Phoenix's new single, so all is forgiven. Lowe and his preceding DJ also joked about Scroobius Pip's blog hit "Thou Shalt Always Kill," with its line about the proper (mis-)spelling of Phoenix, for a wry, much-appreciated flashback to a strange moment in 2007. Back then Phoenix had just masterfully moved their sound toward indie-friendly soft rock with the prior year's It's Never Been Like That.Now, on April 23, Loyaute/Glassnote Records will release Bankrupt!, the follow-up to 2009's critically adored Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. As heard on Lowe's show, album-opener "Entertainment" is galloping, crunching, synth-bedecked power pop, very much an extension of the last album's skillful high-gloss production.
Hear Chelsea Light Moving's Ear-Popping Self-Titled Album
No wonder Thurston Moore's touring plans for his Chelsea Light Moving project specifically exclude galaxies that support "bozo-ology." By the second track of the Sonic Youth frontman's new non-SY album, also titled Chelsea Light Moving and now streaming via NPR, the band collapses into a cacophonous, My Bloody Valentine-evoking blast — the type of atonal detonation that giddily frazzles open minds but could easily send bozos reaching for their revolvers.
Primal Scream Reunite With Kevin Shields, Wage Class Warfare in Brutal '2013' Video
Primal Scream's biggest cultural influence came with 1991 album Screamadelica, when they set a hippies-turned-ravers template for psychedelically inclined rockers embracing what was then not yet known as EDM. But the Bobby Gillespie-led Glaswegian band has been stylistically mobile ever since its early forays into jangly indie pop, and My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields all but officially joined the group on 2000's politics-sharpened XTRMNTR and 2002's Kate-Moss-stunt-casting Evil Heat. With Shields' main band triumphantly surprising the world earlier this month via m b v, Primal Scream have returned, as Pitchfork points out, with a video that features the MBV whale-whisperer's guitar work.Primal Scream have previously said they'd be releasing a new album titled More Light this year, but now the record has at least a U.K. release date: May 6.
Morrissey Cancels More Shows With Charming Note to Fans
The more Morrissey cancels shows on his long-suffering fans, the more eloquently he apologizes. And he has been canceling shows a lot. So at this point his pleas for forgiveness are nearing masterpiece levels.The former Smiths frontman has postponed this month's scheduled shows in Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco, he announced over the weekend via fan site True to You. Morrissey is recovering from a bleeding ulcer, among other ailments, so this time, at least, it's difficult to blame the man. But he makes staying mad at him downright impossible with his latest note, begging for fans' "liberal tolerance" as "we are all at the mercy of biological chance." All of us, but especially disco dancers."I apologize to an almost annoying degree for any trouble I've caused to anyone by way of travel plans and dog-sitters and ticket-outlay and re-molded hairstyles," Morrissey wrote.
The Black Keys' Patrick Carney Is #Winning Justin Bieber Spat
When Justin Bieber said the Black Keys' Patrick Carney "should be slapped around," the Biebz ended his tweet with "haha." So you'd think the Beliebers must have a sense of humor, right? Well, sadly, no, and another stupid Twitter beef has devolved into comment-section ugliness. Carney has rope-a-doped his way into a victory.And boy, did the Grammy-winning garage rocker ever rope some dopes. In fairness, it was Carney who started this silliness by telling TMZ, seemingly uncontroversially, that the Biebz shouldn't feel too bad about his lack of a Grammy nomination because "he's making a lot of money." That's what prompted Bieber's bullying "haha" retaliation.

A beautiful coffered ceiling hints at Victorian style in this sophisticated living room. The built-in entertainment center coordinates with the ceiling, and elegant furnishings complete the space.
Metallic-lined lamp shades and a glass cocktail table add a sense of opulence to this sitting area designed by Jaimie Belew while a contemporary sofa and tiger-print upholstered ottoman add a casual, playful undertone.
This traditional living room features soft orange, gray and cream accents, creating a light and airy space that can be both formal and casual.
Ornate detailing in the mantel, coffee table and armchairs shows adds a regal touch to this grand living room, while a classic rug and plenty of wood accents show off the home's traditional appeal.
With perfectly proportionate artwork above the mantel and matching armchairs circling the coffee table, the fireplace becomes a natural focal point for the room. Design by RMS user Creynolds
A rustic wall-to-wall entertainment center is the focal point in this family room. With a combination of glass-front and open shelving, the built-in unit anchors the room. A teal accent wall faces off against a hand-painted family tree with framed photos.
The Gothic shelves in the corners were sized to accommodate the homeowner's collections, including the antique pedestal fish bowls below them.
Custom window treatments, new furniture and a flat screen TV on a hand-painted console complete this redesigned room. The family room features a traditional color palette and beautiful hardwood floors.
This living room is given a pop of color with a blue tufted sofa and a pair of yellow velvet armchairs. A modern glass-topped wooden coffee table provides a spot for displaying a backgammon board and other interesting accessories.
More than 100 years ago, this space was a large furniture factory in Grand Rapids. Today the classic furniture pieces dressed in soft tones and classic black and white blend to make this living room feel warm and inviting. Design by HGTV Star contestant Tylor Devereaux
The first room enters from the grand foyer. The living room is designed for social gatherings whether it's a weekly book club, a knitting circle or a wine tasting. But far from formal, the space – thanks to a soothing color palette and whimsical, unexpected touches – invites all those who enter to grab a seat, kick off their shoes and relax.
A traditional-style fireplace sets the stage in this cozy living room. On top of the mantel, a pair of fluted columns reach up to the ceiling. Matching columns also frame the French doors that lead out to the screened porch. Two neutral loveseats face one another to make entertaining easy. A brown tufted ottoman sits in between a set of upholstered armchairs and a rich wood coffee table.
When building an outdoor space, include a conversation area in a "U" or "O" shape anchored by a fireplace, suggests designer Brian Thompson of Thompson Custom Homes. For this outdoor living room, he paired distressed wood beams with muted brick walls for a casual, weathered look.
A hand-painted black and white floor adds an unexpected, edgy feel to contrast the elegant, detailed gold molding on the ceiling. Streamlined white and gold chairs and a tufted gray sofa are situated around a sleek, reflective black coffee table. A traditional gold mirror hangs above a marble fireplace for added contrast to the contemporary sitting area.
The light hardwood flooring brightens this traditional living room with neutral sectional. A circular patterned ottoman and striped patterned rug add shape to the room while orange throw pillows provide a pop of color. The dark wooden entertainment contrasts against the neutral color scheme of the room. A modern fireplace is set in a brick section of the wall to complete the room.
Light green walls complement the furniture used in this living room, including a striped sofa decorated with throw and pillows, matching armchairs, wood coffee table, and botanical wall art. Large windows and a white built-in cabinet add openness to the room.
In this traditional living room, a red-and-white color scheme, tufted wall panels and crystal chandelier reflect a feminine sensibility. The bold patterns on the sofa and chair add a modern touch.
Various woods and leathers meld to create the welcoming mood in this cozy traditional living room. Calm the eye by breaking up harsh angular lines of architectural features with soft curvy pieces and accessories like these opposing camel-backed sofas and round copper mirror.

COLUMBIA — Keller Colley's voice cracked as he began to recount the night that has haunted him for more than 10 years.
It was Thanksgiving break in 2003, and he was home in Harrisburg for the first time since leaving for college. His parents were gone for the night, so he and some friends decided to throw a party at his house. There was beer — lots of beer — and when Colley returned from an alcohol run to find that many of the party-goers had wandered off, he and three of his friends decided to hop in a pickup truck and head over to Moberly to chase some girls.
All four were drunk, including the driver.
"We came to a T in the road," he said, "and long story short, we zigged when we should have zagged."
The truck veered off the road and rolled several times. Colley and the driver were thrown from the car, while the two backseat passengers remained inside. Colley was rushed to the hospital. He spent 15 days in a coma and suffered from traumatic brain injury.
Only two of the four young drivers survived that November night.
Colley, now a public speaker for ThinkFirst National Injury Foundation, shared his story Thursday night at Hickman High School as part of Columbia Public Schools' Reality Week. The presentation, which focused on preventing distracted driving among young drivers, was one of several presentations held this week.
The presentation touched on more than just drinking and driving. Trent Brooks, a central district traffic engineer at the Missouri Department of Transportation and coordinator for the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, spoke about using seat belts and driving while distracted. Master Police Officer Scott Wilson of the Columbia Police Department informed parents and teens about Missouri's graduated driver license law.
According to the National Safety Council, about 77 percent of Missourians wear their seat belts while driving. That's 11 percent below the national average.
Furthermore, only 67 percent of Missouri teens wear seat belts, Brooks said.
Wearing a seat belt can reduce the risk for serious crash injuries by about 50 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Wearing a seat belt can mean the difference between life and death," Brooks said, standing before a pair of photos: a crumpled, twisted heap of metal in which the driver was wearing a seat belt and survived; and a car with a busted front headlight in which the driver wasn't wearing a belt and died.
Seat belts can make car accidents less dangerous, but cell phones can make them more prevalent.
In five seconds — the time it takes to glance at a text message — a driver can travel more than 300 feet, according to Distraction.gov.
"Imaging closing your eyes and traveling the length of a football field," Brooks said. "There's no telling what could happen."
Kathy Nichols brought her nephew, a future driver, to the presentation because she thought it was important for him to know the risks.
"I hope he's aware and turns out to be a good driver," Nichols said.
Supervising editor is Adam Aton.

Columbus native and proud of it. That's Robbie Banks.
Robbie found a lot of opportunity in Columbus, and now she wants to help other young professionals get involved and engaged. At the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, that's exactly what she does.
A great resource for young artists, entrepreneurs and professionals, Robbie also provides valuable insight for area companies that want to retain and attract young professionals.
"Think of me as the YP concierge of Columbus," said Banks. Young artists, entrepreneurs and professionals, make up a big part of the area's workforce and entrepreneurial spirit, and Robbie wants to help them feel engaged so they keep calling Columbus home.


text: I was wondering if anyone could give me some info about the laws regarding the transfer/sale of guns registered in NY, to buyers outside of NY state. I have a family friend, who lives on long island, who is giving my father a S&W .38 snubbie (not sure what model). Florida does not register or restrict private sales, but NY is a totally different ball game. The family friend is retired from Suffolk PD and is more concerned about how to get the firearm unregistered from his name. My father told him to "just mail it down and dont worry about it". Any help is great.

This review is from: EVGA 02G-P4-2763-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card
Pros: Was highly rated with great specs at decent price so a no-brainer for customer's built. I really liked the EVGA motherboard I used for my personal built not so long ago so I figured I'd give it a try.
Cons: Delivered the system on Tuesday and I get a phone call on Thursday that the system is one fire! What the?!?!?!?!
I said what do you mean on fire? They said that it popped, sparked and smoke started pouring out of the vents. So I naturally drive out to the city because I am extremely curious as to what happened. I opened up the system to be greeted by an awful burned chemical smell; the video card is charred in few places along the top edge. Shocker!
Other Thoughts: I bought a PNY card locally to replace this in a pinch and noticed that the PNY card has metal board along the top edge ending with heat sink fins at the end of the card possibly to mitigate this exact issue of whatever components are in this area.
All in all pretty scary situation that would make me think twice about EVGA quality not to mention my bruised reputation. I've worked in this industry for over 15 years and built hundreds of systems from $400 desktops to $10K+ servers, fire? never had anything go on fire.
Not so sure about EVGA going forward.
This review is from: XTRAC PADS Pro Mouse Pad
Pros: You need precision and smooth tracking this is for you. Years ago I used to say that mousepads are useless. This pad changed my mind completely. No more jumpy, skipping or unexpected movements.
Cons: Price
Other Thoughts: Price is a bit high for a mousepad, but if I needed another one I would buy without hesitating. If it was cheaper I would buy this thing for everybody I know; Seriously!!!
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: IOCell Networks Portable XT 251PXT 2.5" Black SATA USB 3.0 External Enclosure
Pros: One of the best enclosures I've used to date. Great design, precision aluminum case. Very compact, no need for these portable cases to be any larger than this. Works with both USB 3.0 and 2.0. Cable is short but seems to be very high quality. LOVE IT. I got 2 when they were on special for 9.99 with free shipping. Should have bought more for clients.
Cons: won't make you pancakes for breakfast
Other Thoughts: Case "screws" screw into brass threads in the tray, not straight into the plastic. They won't strip like on the el-cheapo cases I've seen. Aluminum casing helps with heat dissipation. Very clean minimalist design. PERFECT!!!

This is the second full week that we've had our new refrigerator, and, on balance, we're very happy with the new unit. I thought I would break out the three categories in the heading and report on it from that perspective. I'll try and remember to update my product ratings and review at six months and twelve months. Esthetics - My wife had not seen the refrigerator before it was delivered and set up(what admirable trust she placed in her husband), so when she saw it in its appointed space she remarked that it updated the style of the kitchen greatly, and I must admit it does have a hi-tech look and feel to it. It has a nice stainless steel surface and appearance that complements our other kitchen appliances and so fits right in. The crew who set it up did a nice job of balancing it and that is very important so make sure you get the same effort. Take a level balance to it if they don't and check it before they leave. Grade A. Convenience - The flex drawer is really nice. If you have young children, they can reach it and get after school yogurts or cheese items and the drawer opens very easily. We use it for cold drinks, fresh fruit, and dog meat items. It can be set to multiple temperatures depending on the items present. The bottom freezer drawer is cavernous and holds small items in the top tray, and large frozen turkeys and other things in the bottom section. The lighting is superb with bright LED lights illuminating even the far corners. The ice maker works great but do remember to set it up correctly for the first time and every time the ice bucket is emptied. Samsung did a great job thinking of product planning and finding how people use their fridges and designing a product around that. Grade A+. Quality - The digital inverter compressor is a great breakthrough in long life and quietness. Unfortunately, our unit had a vibrating rattle that sounded as if it was coming from the sides of the fridge but that was only a radiated noise. When the compressor came on, the noise would start and only end when the compressor quit. It was really loud and irritating. So we placed a service call and the technician came out and fixed it in ten minutes, and he seemed to know right where to look. He removed the six or eight screws holding on a metal plate where the compressor is located and the water tray at the bottom was touching the evaporator coils. When the compressor started, it would vibrate the tray on the coils and cause the noise, which was amplified within the enclosure. He bent the tray away from the coils and the vibrating rattle completely disappeared. Now the refrigerator is extremely quiet and doesn't interfere with the audio on the TV which is not too far away. I would like to see Samsung test the individual refrigerators for at least twenty-four hours and catch as many of these gremlins as possible before the refrigerator is delivered to the customer. It would make for a much better end user experience and greatly reduce their warranty costs. Grade B-.

rust spots have started to appear on the 'stainless' steel fridge doors and freezer doors which is deemed just a cosmetic issue and therefore not covered under the warranty Always had great products in the past from Samsung, so thought the fridge would be good, but turned out to be a terrible, very expensive mistake. also the ice production is poor, way less than my old fridge I used to have and the veg crispers are tiny, not large enough for a regular shop

Comments about Samsung Stainless Steel Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator:
I bought this almost 6 months ago - absolutely no complaints - I have counter depth due to limited space but still can fit in things more than i thought - Few things before buying a stainless steel Wet hands leave marks on door or anywhere you touch so its bit pain to keep it clean specially with small kids Be careful with scratches when cleaning, make sure cleaning with right kind of piece of cloth -

Love the features
By DinkyDau
from Upstate New York
First time having a refrigerator with crushed, cubed ice and cold water. The digital read out tells you the temp for the freezer and refrigerator. I've read reviews that it runs loud, well just the normal hum which is a quiet hum.
Nice features but lets work on the shelves
By wellette
from Monroe, OR
The ice maker on this unit is wonderful. It is a much better system than the other brand we had before. It seems to have ice on demand where other ones we would have to wait. The outward appears is sleek and stylish. The only drawback to the counter depth model is just that. The depth on the right side where you can push a shelf back to make room for taller items is no very narrow in depth. It would be nice if it were bigger to accommodate a full gallon of milk better. I am nervous putting one there. 2 liter pops work ok there.
We love it but...
By IluvCali
from San Antonio, TX
So far we're very satisfied with the style and the capacity for us empty nesters also it fit like a glove in the opening where our old fridge was. We chose the counter depth model. Wouldn't recommend it for a family though, it would be too small. My only complaint is the Master Icemaker box is hard to remove. We had to wait almost two months for delivery because it needed to be shipped from Korea but the wait was worth it.
Looks good has great performance and features.
By InspectorG
from Undisclosed
I've only owned this refrigerator for a month but compared to the Samsung fidge it is replacing I would have to say they're getting better at it. This ice maker takes up less room makes ice faster and doesn't seem to jam. The doorseals are better the doors and drawers seem to snap closed as if the seals were magnetic. It seems to run a bit louder than the last one but still quite. The lighting is better and is well laid out while taking up less space in a counter depth. In fact we are able to get the same amount of groceries in this one at 23 cubic feet as the 29 cubic foot one it is replacing. Hoping it is durable because I really like the looks, inovations and performance so far.

Beautiful design
By DianeW
from Mentor, OH
This refrigerator doesn't handle tall items very well. It has a removable and fold up shelf but if you remove that shelf then you have to find somewhere in your house to store it. This is my first icemaker so I can't compare it to anything else, but if I'm sleeping on the family room couch and the ice keeps dropping loudly, it will keep you up. No butter compartment. Shelves are strong and heavier than most other brands I looked at. I like that it sounds if you leave the door open.

We recently upgraded to this Samsung 24 cu. ft. Counter Depth 4-Door Refrigerator, and we absolutely love it. It fits perfectly into our counter top. With great design and lots of neat features, it drew lot of attentions and compliments from our friends and families. It's very quiet, and water tastes good. Ice maker works good too.

Hidalgo county investigators are searching for a man accused of murder.
Carlos Alfonso Troas Aradillas, who is a Mexican national who has a warrant for his arrest accusing him of killing Pedro Hernandez in February. Hernandez was found shot to death inside his car near FM 492 and investigators say two women, who were in the car with Hernandez, were witnesses to the murder.
A month before the shooting, Hernandez and Aradillas got into a bar fight with Hernandez assaulting Aradillas in the head with a gun. Deputies say Aradilla admitted to a co-worker that he killed the man because of the bar fight.

Forever and a day ago, I came out to my parents, but it was really just back in February. My problem is that they didn't believe me.
It was during an argument, which was a bad choice on my part. A year or so ago I made a tumblr and my parents found out about it and deleted it. Last summer, I decided to make a new one and hide it better. It went on for a really long time, and I was semi-out-of-the-closet on tumblr. Of course, as my awful luck goes, my dad happened upon me switching to another window on my iPad and made me go back to the previous one which just happened to be my dashboard. He was outraged at the ridiculous amount of profanity I was using and just the general content of the site. Then he remembered that this had happened before and was even angrier.
I had just gotten back from District Choir and Valentine's Day was coming up. I had planned originally on coming out to them on Valentine's Day, but I stupidly decided to come out in the middle of the argument to take the focus away from what he was actually mad at me for. It was already eating me up inside. I couldn't spit it out though, so I wrote it down on paper (and used the wrong choice of words, though I'm still confused as to whether I actually like guys or not). This calmed things down but at the same time made them worse.
My dad's argument is that I'm not sure because I've never actually been with anyone. At all. I've dated three people, one of which I'm not sure was even real. As for the other two, one lasted two class periods in the sixth grade and the other was a sick practical joke.
It just pisses me off because I know for a fact that I like girls despite never having been with one; there's got to be some damn reason my eyes linger on girls longer than they should and I spend my nights dreaming up scenario's with them (that'll never happen, sadly)! The only thing I'm confused about is if I like guys or not!
Since that day I have never, not once, spoken to my parents about it at all. They gave me a stern lesson about what I say on the internet, but nothing about me being gay. I overheard them discussing it once and my mother has brought up counseling with me, but that's more due to rough issues with my father. If I had a dollar for every time they've threatened to leave each other, I'd be rich. It almost happened a few weeks ago. Mom even took me out to look at apartments, but I pitched a fit that night and told her I wasn't going anywhere. My dad might be an ass but he's still my dad, even if I do occasionally hate him. Besides, we just redid my whole room. I'm not moving after all that hard work.
I have come out to one other person. At District Choir, a gay friend of mine asked me if I was gay because, in his words, I "seemed like that type". I didn't answer him for the longest time and then I said yes. I don't even know if he still remembers that, though, because he hasn't talked to me about it since.
I also live in a very conservative, religious area where I've heard some of my closest friends even talking about it being a sin to be gay. To quote a moronic girl (trust me, she's a piece of work; the story behind her is so long I could write a whole book about it) from my swim team, "I love gay people, but I hate their sins." What? What!? WHAT!? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!? (Luckily, I had a supportive friend there to keep me from flying off the handle.) I was spared from all this because my parents never forced me to go to church. Sure, I went to Vacation Bible School for a week each year as a kid like everyone else, but I hated it. I remember plotting to run home one time. I only enjoyed the free food. I only went to church when I was staying with a friend. One of my good friends was the son of a pastor, so I went on Wednesday's for a while in the sixth grade; it was enjoyable and I had a good time, but I haven't been back since. My religious views are very open and although sometimes I have a hard time believing it, there probably is some god out there somewhere and I don't want to be on his bad side.
To sum it all up, my problem is this: I told my parents, they're sort of in denial, I live in an awful neighborhood for this, and I'm a nervous wreck about it all. I just feel like I need to talk to someone, but I can't because I'm surrounded by semi-homophobic gossip machines (some of which are very, very hot). The internet is the next best thing, right?
I just feel so alone. I know relationships are full of drama but I'm dying to have one because I never have had one before. I'm all chock full of hormones and I wanna be prideful and jank but I'm too cowardly at this point because I'm afraid of losing the few friends I have and being stuck with no one at all. I'm especially afraid of losing my family and their support. I'm backed into a corner with no strength and no way to get out and I just wanna break down and cry but I'm too tough to do that. I wake up every morning and I'm happy for the rest of the world but, most of the time, not for myself. I think I need a personality reset.
Or someone to talk to. That would be nice as well.

This article first appeared as a Comment in the 21 January issue of Flight International
Last year's worldwide airline safety performance was not the best ever, but it was still very good. In fact, airline safety is so much better now than it was only 10 or 20 years ago that adopting an objective of zero fatal accidents, once considered a statistically naive concept, now looks feasible.
The barriers to achieving such a high ideal are many. Complacency is the obvious one: if the industry is already safe, why strive for improvement?
Meanwhile the Federal Aviation Administration faces an intriguing and revealing dilemma: it can no longer introduce new regulation to improve airline safety because the US accident rate is so low that the number of lives the new rule may save are too few to satisfy the cost/benefit analysis the FAA is required to use.
So if US airlines are to be encouraged to aim for zero fatal accidents, their improvements cannot be forced on them in the old fashioned way – by a stern overseer with a big stick. Instead they have to volunteer to get even better. This is what the Flight Safety Foundation was talking about some five years ago when it encouraged airlines worldwide to go "beyond regulation".
This approach is essential for the future. With a rapidly growing world airline fleet, national aviation authorities are simply not going to be given the expert human resources and funding that would enable them to continue operating the old system. That assumed airlines would work to legal minima, and the only way they could be kept in line was for the oversight agency to have lots of inspectors and lots of sanctions. The second salient reason is that the legal approach to corporate responsibility is changing. Airline board members have cause to fear the law in a way they didn't before. That is where the new big stick resides, not at national level. And the requirement for airlines to run credible safety management systems, which makes everything more transparent, means that ignorance, which was never a good defence anyway, is now a hanging offence.
The few serious accidents that happen now are almost entirely caused by human factors, mostly flightcrew mistakes, omissions or failures of discipline. This is the new battleground, and the FAA is leading the charge with a new programme that makes the industry responsible for identifying the reasons for this safety deficit and for producing a plan to deal with it. Based on a new report that delves exhaustively into the effects of automation on piloting, the programme is an example of FAA leadership at its best.

It is impossible to determine the exact cause of ferry owner Yoo Byung-eon's death, the National Forensic Service said Friday.
The service's chief Seo Joong-seok told a press briefing that there was too little evidence left to determine the cause of death as the body was badly decomposed, leading to a great deal of tissue loss.
Earlier on Thursday, the forensic expert said he is "100-percent confident" that the body discovered in a field in Suncheon, South Jeolla Province on June 12 is that of Yoo.

Welcome to
Ultracold Atoms and Molecules Research
at the University of Washington
Through the orchestrated use of lasers, electronics, and ultra-high vacuum technology it is possible to cool atomic gases to temperatures very near Absolute Zero (nanoKelvins) where their behavior is completely dominated by quantum mechanics. Here matter waves can interfere like laser beams and can flow without friction. Precise manipulations of these ultracold atoms with lasers and magnetic fields allow fundamental studies in quantum physics, insights into more complex systems known in condensed matter physics and nuclear physics, and applications in quantum information science. Our group is interested in the physics of quantum mixtures of different atomic species, production and study of dipolar molecular gases formed from ultracold atoms, and precision interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates. Check the research page for details of our work.

The Longview Police Department commissioned five new officers Wednesday who join the ranks of one of the highest-paid police departments in East Texas.
Even with the additions, the department remains short of full staff.
"This is one of the more exciting things I get to do," Chief Don Dingler said to a small crowd gathered at the Roy Stone Training Center for the ceremony. "We have people from all different walks of life working for the Longview Police Department. This is the next step in the journey for these officers."
The new officers — Heather McKay, Brent Creacy, Gina Villarreal, David Hickey and Wayne Krc — were joined by family and friends as Longview municipal Judge Larry Merriman administered the oath of duty.
Including the five newly commissioned officers, there are 158 officers on the department's payroll. It is authorized to have 172. Three more officers have been hired but not commissioned.
Department spokeswoman Kristie Brian said the shortage is not a crisis and the department is never at full staff.
Shawn Hara, spokesman for the city of Longview, said the police department's staffing allotment is part of the city's overall budgeting process. The police department comprises about 28 percent of the city's employees.
"The department tells the city what they think they need, and it goes from there," he said. "Like every normal budget process, there usually is more want than there are resources — no matter which department it is."
The city of Longview's fiscal year 2011-12 budget is $150.7 million. Of that, $20.3 million is set aside for the police department, with $17.5 million for personnel.
While the department may be perennially under-staffed, with a starting salary of $46,390, officers are not underpaid, according to a comparison of area departments.
A comparison of other police departments shows starting salaries in Tyler, Texarkana and Temple are all less than Longview. New officers in Tyler start at an annual salary of $42,544; in Texarkana, the starting salary is $38,386, and in Temple, new officers start at $39,716 a year.
Hara said the difference in pay could be linked to Longview's desire to recruit and retain quality officers.
"We did a compensation study about four years ago where we compared salaries to similarly sized cities," he said. "We want to make sure we have a competitive pay package because you want to be able to find good people and retain them."
Retention of officers always is an issue, Brian said. Not all newly hired officers make staying at the department a career choice, and more lucrative options sometimes lure them away.
"It's like any other job whether it is in the public or private sector," Brian said. "Some use it as a stepping stone to move on, while others make Longview their home."
That's what officer Gina Villarreal said she wants to do.
"I got my bachelor's degree in criminal justice, and I loved it," she said. "This is something I always wanted to do. I most look forward to getting out there and doing my job."
With the bachelor's degree, Villarreal said she hopes to advance within the department.
"I want to stay with this department long term and eventually go into CID (Criminal Investigations Division) and do some work there," she said.
Officer Wayne Krc, a 27-year veteran with the city of Longview, said his transition had been quick because he already worked for the department as a reservist.
"I've been reserving for nine years," Krc said. "I was in public works for the city prior to that. I said after 20 years I wanted to make a career change, so I opted to go full time. I applied and they took me in."
The city of Longview on Wednesday will hold a career fair to help fill positions within the police department and other city departments. The job fair is set 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center.

Hofferth, Sandra, Stephen Stanhope, and Kathleen Mullan Harris. 2001. "Exiting Welfare in the 1990s: Did Public Policy Influence Recipients' Behavior?" PSC Research Report No. 01-469. March 2001.
Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this paper evaluates the association between welfare policies implemented by states in the early to mid-1990s and the rate at which female household heads with children exit AFDC for work or for non-work reasons. The results show that waiver policies requiring work, such as the work requirement and the elimination of exemptions for mothers of very young children, are associated with more rapid exits through employment. Sanctions for failure to comply are also associated with work exits. Incentive policies that make work more attractive by allowing mothers to remain eligible as earnings rise extend the period of welfare receipt. Neither time limits nor the family cap were related to welfare exits during this early period of welfare reform. The results suggest that other policies implemented in the 1993-1996 period, such as the EITC, influenced welfare exits. While the effects of the economy were significant, they were rather small; relatively high unemployment rates did not deter recipients from working.

Newt Gingrich: Union Leader endorsement a big boost in New Hampshire
In a front page editorial Sunday, New Hampshire's prominent statewide Union Leader newspaper endorsed Newt Gingrich. It's a big boost for Gingrich and a blow to Mitt Romney, currently leading in polls.
Adam Hunger/Reuters
Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign just got a big boost in New Hampshire – the state holding the first Republican primary election.
The Union Leader, the state's most prominent publication and a leading voice in conservatism, says it's backing Gingrich over Mitt Romney.
Romney, who holds a commanding lead in New Hampshire polling, is still the man to beat there. But the Union Leader's rejection of his candidacy is a blow nonetheless – particularly since Gingrich has vaulted past his GOP rivals to claim neck-and-neck status with Romney in national Republican polls as well as likely-voter surveys in other states.
The newspaper's endorsement – spread across the top of the front page in the Sunday edition and signed by publisher Joseph W. McQuaid – carries a granite-like tone typical of a publication prominent in Republican politics. Four years ago, its endorsement of John McCain helped propel McCain past Romney to a win in New Hampshire and to his party's nomination.
"We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing," the newspaper wrote in its editorial.
"We don't back candidates based on popularity polls or big-shot backers," the paper declared in obvious reference to Romney. "We look for conservatives of courage and conviction who are independent-minded, grounded in their core beliefs about this nation and its people, and best equipped for the job."

nein und abermals nein!
Very best,
A brilliant post, that I agree whole-heartedly with!
Very best,
It was recently suggested here that there may not be a woman among us inside the thread. The moment one begins to believe this, that one male or group will likely be wrong.
Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm taking a little break from this month's theme for a few days. Not to worry, technically I am fine. But there is someone who has meaning to me who is suffering a terrible loss ATM, and my heart reaches out to them to share their pain. My avatar during this time is a single simple snowdrop, a symbol of hope and consolation in a dark hour. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm not leaving the committee or anything, just standing by a friend.
Very best,
Very Best to you too Warren
Sorry for your friends loss Warren
Hope everything turns out fine.
Very Best,
Thanks Bowei, very kind of ya.
Very best,
Your avatar is simply beautiful. You're one of thought, aesthetic and most definitely appreciated.
Thank you kind sir! He's a great guy, and my heart just sank when I heard the news. Speaking of which, I should email him back.
BTW, have y'all seen Juanse Amador's avatar yet? Cracks me up... http://www.head-fi.org/u/331193/juanseamador
