Miley Cyrus Denies Sharing Lesbian Kiss On TV
While her girl-on-girl kiss might have been upstaged by Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, Miley Cyrus was still reeling from the media attention she has been getting after she mimicked kissing a female dancer during Britain's Got Talent.
Miley took to her website to blast the media for their reaction to her faux-kiss:
I performed 'Can't Be Tamed' this week on one of my favorite shows here in the UK Britian's Got Talent. Which is totally true, there were some amazinnnggg acts (but of course no one could focus on that.) I had such a blast and was so honored to be on that stage. That being said during my performance I supposedly 'KISSED A GIRL' and this is the newest thing to cause controversy.
I promise you I did not kiss her and it is ridiculous that two entertainers cant even rock out with each other without the media making it some type of story. I really hope my fans are not disappointed in me because the truth is I did nothing wrong. I got up there and did my job which is to perform to the best of my ability. I just want to put an end to this right now and just say one thing to everyone out there making this performance such a big deal.
While we can agree that the two didn't actually smooch, it was pretty obvious that what they did was intended to look like a kiss.
But even if they did kiss, would that be so wrong? We guess the days of straight girls singing "I Kissed a Girl" and being proud of mildly sapphic smooches are over.

UPDATE: Plan Commission recommends against rezoning for school
School district consultants, school officials and citizens appealed to the Hudson Plan Commission to rezone the former St. Croix Meadows Greyhound Racing Park for use as a secondary school Thursday night.
But they were unable convince the six commission members in attendance, who at the end of the four-hour meeting at Hudson City Hall voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council deny the school district's request.
Paul Radermacher made the motion for the recommendation. He said the loss of approximately $23,000 in annual tax revenue that would result from having the 130-acre site rezoned from a B-2 commercial business district to a public or quasi-public district represented a financial hardship for the city.
Radermacher urged the school board to focus on 110 acres on County UU and Crosby Drive in the town of Hudson that the district already owns as the location for a new school.
Hudson Mayor Alan Burchill, chair of the Plan Commission, and members Kevin Vance and Mary Yacoub also made statement prior to the vote. Commissioner Fred Yoerg said he had made his position clear during the long debate, which began with an hour-and-a-half long presentation by the school district's consultants and school officials.
During a public comment period that lasted two hours or more, both opponents and supporters of the rezoning voiced their questions and arguments.
Plan Commission members also spoke frequently throughout the meeting.
Commissioner Mary Claire Potter was absent.
In his statement prior to the vote, Mayor Burchill said he had recently had lunch with former mayors of Hudson, during which they talked about the dog track issue. He mentioned former mayors Tom Redner and Jack Breault by name, noting that they had been on opposite sides of the issue of whether the dog track should be built back in the early 1990s.
He indicated they were in agreement on keeping the property zoned for commercial use.
According to Burchill, Breault said some people thought it was "crazy" to develop St. Croix Business Park because of its location on the far southeastern side of the city. People said no one would go there, Burchill reported, but the business park is now filled with companies that have brought employment and tax revenue to the city.
He indicated that the St. Croix Meadows property will eventually be developed, too.
"I hate to say it, but it all comes down to money," Burchill said.
The potential loss isn't just the current tax revenue the city gets from the property, he said, but the potential for $566,000 to nearly $1.2 million in annual taxes if the property is developed for industrial or commercial use.
The city's share of that revenue would be around $245,000 to $515,000, according to a projection by Community Development Director Dennis Darnold. The rest of the money would be split between the school district, St. Croix County, Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College and the state.
During the school district's presentation, District Superintendent Mary Bowen-Eggebraaten said it was former mayor Dean Knudson, now the area's representative to the State Assembly, who first suggested that the school district consider St. Croix Meadows as the site for a secondary school.
Vance said his biggest concern was using a significant amount of the available commercial land in the city for a school. He also questioned whether it was the best site for a school, given its proximity to a limestone quarry and industrial park.
Vance said the current high school is in a "great" location because so many students can walk to it from home.
"The answer to me is there are other locations that are available that would fulfill the needs of the community just as well as this one will," he said.
Yacoub said that, as the mother of three young children, she understands the district's need for a new school. But she couldn't justify reducing the city's tax base when the police department is faced with cuts because of what will be a tight 2013 budget, she indicated.
Earlier in the meeting, Yoerg also indicated that he was concerned about the property coming off the tax roll. He said was a "fairness issue," since the other municipalities the school district serves wouldn't be giving up tax revenue.
Yoerg also faulted the school district for selecting the dog track as a site when officials knew that the city's comprehensive plan showed it as commercial property.
Radermacher read a statement at the start of the meeting saying the 110 acres the district owns on County UU and Crosby Drive is a more suitable location for a school. He said a special water district could be formed to bring utilities to the site.
District arguments
One of the consultants hired by the school district, Mark Boehlke of Hoffman LLC, strongly disagreed with Radermacher's assessment of the County UU property.
Boehlke said he has been evaluating property for potential school sites for about 30 years.
"Professionally, I would say this is one of the poorest sites that I have seen, if not the poorest," he said of the County UU land.
He said about one-third of the property has slopes too steep for it to be economically or environmentally desirable to build on them. The slopes also isolate parts of the property that suitable for development from other building sites, he said.
In addition, there are possible wetlands and a navigable stream on the land, Boehlke said.
"It's not practical," Boehlke said of building a school for up to 2,500 students on the site.
"Land that looks like this is developed for residential purposes," he said.
Civil engineer Angela Popenhagen of Stevens Engineering said the county highway department had informed her that County UU would need to be widened to five lanes in the area of the potential school. Crosby Drive also likely would need improvements, she said.
Popenhagen said Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources rules wouldn't allow development of an on-site sewage treatment system, and that the property can't be annexed to the city by law because it is not contiguous.

Any gallery that bans reproducing Warhol on the grounds that you'll violate his copyright should be forced into an off-site, all-day irony training session.
So what's the message of the show? Is it a celebration of remix culture, revelling in the endless possibilities opened up by appropriating and reusing images without permission?Link
Or is it the epitaph on the tombstone of the sweet days before the UN set up the World Intellectual Property Organization and the ensuing mania for turning everything that can be sensed and recorded into someone's property?
Does this show - paid for with public money, with some works that are themselves owned by public institutions - seek to inspire us to become 21st century pop artists, armed with cameraphones, websites and mixers, or is it supposed to inform us that our chance has passed and we'd best settle for a life as information serfs who can't even make free use of what our eyes see and our ears hear?

Bundle up and get cozy, because Lodi is in for a chilly weekend.
Ken Clark, a meteorologist with AccuWeather.com, a private weather forecasting service, says to expect a little rain over the next three days, and temperatures that won't rise past the mid-50s. But Clark said it is hard to predict the exact timing of these showers, because the weather pattern is moving very quickly.

Two Webster firefighters are dead and two were in guarded condition after a gunman opened fire as they responded to an early morning blaze near Rochester, the Democrat and Chronicle reported.
Officials confirmed that the two firefighters were killed and the other two were in guarded condition at Strong Memorial Hospital with gunshot wounds, according to a hospital spokeswoman, the D&C reported.
There are no active shooters at the scene and firefighters have resumed battling the blazes, according to a news conference held at 9:40 a.m. by Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn.
The fire broke out at 5:45 a.m. at 191 Lake Road on the Irondequoit Bay side of the street.
Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering said shots were fired at West Webster firefighters when they arrived on the scene. Four firefighters were hit, two fatally.
"I'm not aware of anything like this happening in Webster, obviously not a firefighter being fired upon," Webster Fire Marshal Rob Boutillier said.
One firefighter who was shot managed to get away from the scene and over the outlet bridge to his car.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/5/2013 (1572 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Annually about this time, representatives of Minnesota's tourism-related venues and properties set their sales sights on Manitobans.
They file into media outlets, travel agencies, motor coach-operator head offices and try to meet with whomever they think will be willing to listen to their reasons why Manitobans should travel to that state.
Whether as a result of this regular blitz or because we find affinity with Minnesotans and the experiences we gain when travelling there, Manitoba has become a prime target market for the state, with strong visitor numbers recorded annually.
As I attended their hosted breakfast a couple of weeks ago, listening to these tourism professionals intone the specific attributes of their region or property, I drifted into a daydream phase where I recalled the multiple journeys I have made into Minnesota, reliving how much I enjoyed each trip.
As a younger man, Minneapolis was the perfect affordable destination to get away to visit a really big city with lots to see and do, without having to face the expense of exorbitant airfares and resort-style hotel prices.
Food and beverage prices are very much in line with our own, and the hospitality industry, as in many parts of the United States, is really geared to embracing visitors in a friendly and appreciative manner.
As my thoughts drifted back in time, I recalled the number of times I travelled there with friends to discover different restaurants, unique nightclubs and take in the variety of professional sports the city has to offer. With careful preplanning, we could occasionally combine at least two major sporting events in one trip.
More recently, it was a trip with my granddaughters that was highlighted by a stay at the Radisson Hotel Bloomington, with its themed room and huge water park that created the most indelible of memories.
Situated almost directly across the street from the Mall of America with its Nickelodeon Universe Amusement centre, we spent hours there with the girls as Mom and Grandma shopped.
It was at the Chanhasssen Dinner Theatre where we watched the children become enraptured by their first big musical performance featuring the ever-popular Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Over my third cup of coffee at the breakfast, as one of the presenters extolled the virtues of the Bemidji area, I remembered being overwhelmed by the huge statue of Paul Bunyan that greeted us as we drove into the city for the first time.
It was an image I had seen so many times in my youth and had often heard and read about.
But it is golf and fishing that has taken me back to the region around Brainerd several times since.
Fishing is a major attraction for Minnesotans and visitors alike, with almost 1.5 million licences issued every year.
It was in this area where I first learned how to locate and catch large-mouth bass. Although they can be found in some of the lakes we can access, the species can be caught in abundance in a number of lakes in the Brainerd area.
While outdoor adventures are still attracting visitors to the region, it is the preponderance of quality golf courses that has really gained traction in more recent times. The Brainerd Golf Trail lists 10 quality tracks, all within 45 minutes of each other.
A year-and-a-half ago, my wife and I chose an early fall weekend escape to the Detroit Lakes area.
Though thousands of Manitobans help fill the hotels and campgrounds for WE Fest, their annual country music festival that features America's top performers in the genre, our trip was one of relaxation and discovery.
It was from this base that we motored into the quaint community of Park Rapids. It offers its own fishing and golf attractions and its downtown, with its unbelievably wide main street, is a picture of tranquillity, where vehicles can park two deep along the middle of it.
Antique and souvenir shops, restaurants and stores line both sides of it, and during the summer months, the streets are filled with tourists from north and south.
Though Minneapolis and St. Paul may be seen as one mega-city by those of us who travel there, when they present themselves to the media, they do so separately and with different approaches.
St. Paul can, at times, get lost beneath the perception and branding of the better-known Minneapolis, but it has its own character.
It is the state capital, and its history is still alive in its historic sites and heritage homes.
On a most enjoyable excursion a few years ago, when we spent a good part of our time in St. Paul, we walked along Summit Avenue where so many of the historic mansions are located.
In the James J. Hill home, now a museum, we were surprised to learn this entrepreneur, who became one of the richest men in the United States, was a Canadian born in southern Ontario.
In 1878, he purchased a bankrupt railroad and created the Great Northern Railway, which not only went from Canada down through the States, but all the way across the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
Just down the street from his home sits the Cathedral of St. Paul, perched on the highest point in the city.
As I make my way back to the office from the breakfast, I begin contemplating my next visit to Minnesota in August, when we will attend a family wedding in Moose Lake, not far from the city of Duluth.
Each experience in the state has been a good one, and I have no doubt the next one will be another to remember.
Forward your travel questions to email@example.com. Ron Pradinuk is president of Journeys Travel & Leisure SuperCentre and can be heard Sundays at noon on CJOB. Previous columns and tips can be found at www.journeystravelgear.com or read Ron's travel blog at www.thattravelguy.ca.

Cincinnati -- Some cicadas found recently in southern Ohio are emerging after 13 years underground, according to two cicada researchers.
Gene Kritsky, professor and chairman of biology at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, and fellow researcher Roy Troutman say they found the group of cicadas emerging in early May at the Crooked Run Nature Preserve in Clermont County, east of Cincinnati.
Kritsky said he suspected the presence of a previously unrecognized 13-year cicada brood in 2001, but had to wait for the insects to emerge to confirm it.
"If I was working on fruit flies, I'd have this done in a month," Kritsky said.
Some cicadas emerge annually, but the researchers say periodical cicadas are only found in the eastern half of the United States and emerge typically every 13 to 17 years, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
Cicadas spend most of their lives underground, living by sucking fluids from plant roots. They mate and die within weeks of emerging, and the groups that emerge are called broods. Each brood is numbered, and 13-year periodical cicadas are called Brood 22
Cicadas in large numbers can create a deafening racket and can harm young trees.
Periodical cicadas have evolved to emerge every 13 or 17 years partially to defend themselves from predators, Kritsky said.
"Their survival strategy when they do come out is to come out in such great numbers that their predators get tired of eating them," Kritsky said.
"If people really want to see these things, they should wait about two weeks because the cold weather is slowing them down a little bit," Kritsky said. "In about two weeks they'll be out there singing and screaming."

Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant has supported a proposal for the headquarters of the Country Rugby League to be situated in Canberra.
The idea is for the CRL to be relocated from its base in Sydney to the offices of the Canberra Raiders at Bruce.
This would only happen if the Raiders are successful in their wish to move to their proposed new base at Braddon.
Grant was in Canberra on Friday to meet with ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr and Raiders chief executive Don Furner to discuss the proposal.
Grant said the idea made "logical sense" in being able to develop a regional hub for country rugby league, while at the same time having access to facilities at the AIS.
"This is in country NSW, that's where we see it, that's where people see it," Grant said.
"We're doing work around our elite pathways to be state league teams into regional NSW to give the pathway from under-16s to under-18s to under-20s to the state league side.
"There's going to be a huge amount more focus go back to regional areas and we'll build with government and their regional planning.
"You have to find centres and hubs for which to do that and it's hard to walk away from the facilities you have here.
"It makes logical sense so it's going to be hard to walk away from."
The Raiders' planned $80 million residential and retail development in Braddon hit another hurdle, with a community council contesting the Planning and Land Authority's approval of the project.
The North Canberra Community Council has appealed the authority's December 23 approval of the development application to the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
The appeal will go to mediation on March 3, with another directions hearing possible depending on the result.
Meanwhile, Grant said Canberra would present a strong bid to host games in the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
"That's a process that is unfolding at the moment," Grant said.
"Today is the day where bids for games are to be tabled and I guess there is about a month's process before decisions will be made.
"The World Cup organisers are looking for two things – community engagement through the placement of World Cup matches and they're looking for commercial returns.
"This is their one revenue generating opportunity every four years, so they need to maximise that and they invest back into the development of international rugby league."

BRUSSELS – Recently, the human-rights activist, former Dutch politician, and Somali exile Ayaan Hirsi Ali wrote about a global war on Christians in Muslim countries. She discussed at length the appalling phenomenon of violent intolerance towards Christian communities, and cast blame on the international community and prominent NGOs for failing to address this problem.
In almost every part of the world, reports emerge on a daily basis of Christian communities falling victim to harassment and persecution. In Nigeria, on February 26, three Christians were killed and dozens wounded after a car bomb exploded close to a church in the northern town of Jos. At least 500 people have died during the last year in attacks attributed to the violent Islamist group Boko Haram, which has called for all Christians to leave northern Nigeria.
In East African states such as Sudan, Christians have been given an April 8 deadline to leave the north. The ultimatum will affect up to 700,000 Christians who were born in South Sudan before it became independent last year. In Eritrea, it is reported that 2,000-3,000 Christians are in detention, and that many have been tortured.
But the Middle East remains the most dangerous place for Christians to live, and attacks occur with frightening regularity. Egypt's Copts and Iraq's dwindling Christian community feel the pressure the most. Depending on the outcome of events in Syria, many wonder about the fate of that country's vibrant Christian community. In Iran, members of so-called "house churches" (independent assemblies of Christians who meet in private homes because of their fear of oppression) are rounded up and imprisoned.

With ever-popular television shows such as Forensic Files, CSI, Cold Case and others, forensics has become a hot topic – not only with the public at large, but also in the radiology industry. Forensic Radiology is a specialized area of medical imaging using radiological techniques to assist physicians, pathologists and anthropologists in matters related to the law such as determining cause of death or identifying remains.
Imaging can play a significant role in forensic investigations.
Conventional autopsies are invasive, whereas x-rays do not require cutting the body apart. Therefore, it is especially useful for certain religions that do not allow post mortem mutilation. By using an x-ray to examine certain body parts, many times the autopsy can be restricted to a certain area.
Other imaging techniques are becoming more widely used in forensics as well, and digital imaging provides many advantages. Perhaps one of the fastest-growing new techniques being used is the virtual autopsy, which uses a combination of light and 3D CT to reconstruct remains. Another area of forensics beginning to use the 3D capability of imaging is facial reconstruction, traditionally done using clay. Now, researchers are using 3D CT technology to develop the tools to do facial reconstructions digitally. This process can lead to virtual facial images to help identify a missing person, or a severely burned or decomposed body.
With over 40 years experience as an RT, I have seen a growing need for experienced technologists specializing in forensics. My interest and involvement in forensic imaging began early in my education. As a student, I was sent to the morgue to observe autopsies and perform imaging. Working with the chief pathologist sparked my interest in forensics. I started teaching full time in a radiology tech program in 1981, but continued to be involved in forensics and after joining the DMORT team I started to get more involved in the forensic aspect.
Upon my retirement as the clinical coordinator for radiologic sciences at ItawambaCommunity College in Fulton, MS, I have continued to work in forensics as the team leader of the Region 4 Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT).
One of my most memorable and rewarding experiences was the work that I did after Hurricane Katrina. I worked side-by-side with the pathologists and anthropologists to compare x-rays of body parts to prior x-rays to successfully identify remains of missing persons. This allowed many families to bring closure for a lost loved one during this devastating tragedy.
I also supported the efforts to identify remains from cemetery disruptions, some that dated back to the 1800's. Our goal was to identify as many remains as possible and return them to the original grave site.
As devastating and destructive as Hurricane Katrina was, the recovery efforts helped to raise the awareness of the importance of forensic imaging. As Dr. Cotton Howell, Region 4 DMORT Commanding Officer said;
"The morgue is not operational until x-ray is operational."
Seeing images like the ones below is just part of a day in the life of a Forensic Imaging Technologist!
Interested in learning more about forensic imaging as a career path? This fall I'll be hosting seminars with the Medical Technology Management Institute. The seminar is titled The Many Facets of Forensic Imaging and qualifies for 8 hours ARRT Category A Credit.
Do you think Forensic Imaging is a dream job, or will you stick to the hospital's X-ray room?
Nancy was the first technologist to be accepted for membership in the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and serves as the US liaison for the International Association of Forensic Radiographers.

It's great to see this blog..Nancy you already know my response forensic imaging is a new field that is up and coming that's going to allow as us techs to grow and be apart of a whole lot more than what a hospital environment can give us.
Very nice article Nancy. It's great to see you waving the forensic flag, and very exciting to see CT reconstruction utlized in these procedures. Cool stuff!
Great article Nancy, please keep me updated on your seminar titled 'The many facets of Forensic Imaging'. I've worked in x-ray and mammography for 17 yrs., recently lost my job and am looking for something new and old and familiar at the same time. Before attending x-ray school, I worked part time night shift in the ER, one aspect of my job, that they trained me was to clean and wrap the freshly deceased for identification for family members. So forensics has always interested me, I went through 2 rotations at the county morgue, so I find this really interesting and would like to see if I can persue my next radiology career in this new field. Here is my email address, please keep updated and thanks, Lane
Thanks, Lane. If you go to http://www.mtmi.net, and check seminars for technologists, you will find the schedule for the seminar. The 2013 schedule should be out by the end of the year. Also friend RadForensics on facebook. We are planning a national forensic conference for next year, and the information will be available there. Keep in touch!
Nancy, I too am a Xray/MRI Technologist who has always been very interested in working in Forensics. When joining the Seminar will there be any information on how I and others can work in this field? I have noticed most articles state that Forensic sites have unqualified people doing such exams. With all the experienced techs out there who would Love to do this type of work I am surprised.
There will be information, and please also bring up the topic as a question. Us old folks need reminders!
I am x ray technologist working on ortopedic department, on x-ray, CT, MRI , C-ARM, and I am interesting in forensic imagin. In my contry there is forensic department but there is no forensic x-ray diagnostic. I would like to continue my education on this field forensic imaging. Can you give me some instructions pls. I am interesting in Msc study.
Haris, where do you live? Perhaps you can give me a little more information about the forensic center you mentioned. Did you mean that they have no imaging equipment at all?
Thanks, Nancy

I really enjoyed your article Nancy, I have been a radiographer/mammographer for about 7 years and I am really interested in pursuing the forensic side of radiology. I am planning on attending your seminar 'The many facets of Forensic Imaging' in Toledo OH in September. I was wondering if you could tell me what training/certifications I would need to get started in this field? I would appreciate any advice you may have for me! Thanks, Amy
Hello, Amy,
I look forward to meeting you in September. Although there are no certifications available at this time in forensic imaging, I feel sure it won't be long before we see some type of advanced certification in the field. If I were you, at this point, I would probably get CT certification and specialize in 3-D recons, as that appears to be the preferred imaging technique in forensics (along with traditional radiographic imaging).
Since the biggest issue we as RTs face right now is the fact that most ME offices simply cannot afford to hire an RT fulltime,I would also consider taking coursework in criminal justice or criminology to make myself more marketable. Another trend I am beginning to see are RTs going ahead and getting degrees in anthropology to complement radiology. In closing, something you can do right now to help you is approach your local ME office and see what might be available. You might be able to do some part time work and start getting experience. Even volunteer on your own time to help out. Show them the advantages of having an RT do their imaging! And I want an update in September!
My name is Elizabeth Warren. I am in my second year of a Medical Radiologic Technology program at a junior college in Mississippi. I have been extremely interested in being involved in forensic radiography since before I started the program. I was wondering if there is anyway that you could e-mail me and possibly help to guide me in the right direction as to what I could do to obtain a job as a forensic imaging tech. I would greatly appreciate it!
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi, Elizabeth,
I will be in Oklahoma over the weekend, but return Sunday pm. Perhaps we can talk next week. Please send me an email at email@example.com as a reminder.
Thanks, Nancy

are there any programs in Connecticut for forensic radiology? help
Liz, contact Jerry Conlogue orTania Grgurich at Quinnipiac University. Both teach in the allied health division and are active in forensics. They should be able to help you. Good luck!
My name is Luke Hawkins. I have been an x-Ray/nuc med tech for 10 years now. I live in Idaho Falls idaho.. I'm not sure we have any forensics in our area. We do have an FBI crime lab in Pocatello which is 50 miles south. Can you send me any info that can help me get plugged into forensics in my area? Thanks
Hello, Luke,
My recommendation would be to contact your local coroner and find out how things work in your state. I know Idaho is very rural, and often in that situation, all autopsies may be sent to one location. Then contact the facility that performs the autopsies and explain your interest and the fact that you are a registered radiographer. You may have to volunteer on your own time at first, or perhaps work out some type of call arrangement. Most morgue facilities do not have the funding to be able to hire an RT fulltime, so also ask about the possibility of cross-training. You might also look into taking some forensic courses, perhaps in criminalistics or criminal justice.
Best wishes, Nancy
Hello Nancy,
After reading your article, I am extremely interested in learning more about forensic radiology. I'm currently a radiologic technologist student in Philadelphia, PA. Is there anyway that maybe you could e-mail me so I could get your advice on which would be the best way to proceed? Thanks!
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you Nancy for giving me a better understanding of wanting to go into Forensic Radiology. I have one question where do you begin to look or apply to this positions? I have searched my city and nothing comes up under actual jobs? Do you have to look into homicide, or government?
Hi, Gina,
Unfortunately, fulltime imaging positions in forensics are few and far between. We are starting to see forensic imaging centers being developed, and they do have some fulltime positions, but these are only in a few major cities. I recommend getting in touch with your medical examiner in your area and see what they may have. If necessary, volunteer to come in on your own to get experience and to let them see the advantages of having an RT do their images. Also be willing to train in other forensic areas to make your self more marketable. Hope this helps.
Hi Nancy,
I am currently applying for radiology schools and am very interested in the forensic side of radiology! Could you also please email me so I have your contact information as well? Thanks again!
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Nancy,am Nwokedi Chinedu a registered degree holder in medical radiographer in Nigeria[west africa].Having gone through your written work in forensic radiography I felt much more motivated.I really wish to do my masters in forensic radiography,please Nancy help me with information on what to do to gain Msc admission where you are.+2348038714075,email@example.com or email@example.com
How can I find information on how to become a forensic radiographer? I've check the DMORT website & cannot access any information. Please advise.
Hi Nancy,
I am interested in forensics radiography due to the fact I had ran across an ad in one of my Rad Magazines for Forensics in Radiology as a profession. Looks like I missed out on that seminar, though i bet it was a good one. I want to say that seminar was given sometime last year(2014).
I live in Georgia and I too have several years, 20+ as an Radiologic Technologist,Mammographer, and MRI Technologist.
I would like to pursue forensics due to the fact that there is something of a higher calling drawing me towards the needs of people. That in hopes that by this imaging aspect of forensics, provide somewhat of a "Voice" so that the living gain understanding ,begin the healing process, and go forward in life and LIVE. I am unsure of the future but I am willing to put one foot in front of the other and see where this life my lead me. So, all that being said,can you help me? I just need some direction of what my next step in this journey may be. I thank You for your time and hope to hear from you soon. Sheila
Hello Nancy,
I'm very interested in learning about forensic radiology and was wondering if you still did the seminars?
Hi, Nancy!
I found your article very interesting. I am in RT school right now and am very interested in forensics. I would love some feedback from you, and more information on what I need to do after getting my RT license to move on to the next step towards getting involved in forensic radiography. If you could, please e-mail me at some time. My e-mail is email@example.com. I am having quite a bit of trouble getting answers that are straight on what my next step should be. I have plans to talk to my county coroner to see if they have suggestions, but it seems as though you will have some information for me as well.
Thank you so much!
Hi Nancy,
I just graduated and passed my registry as well, for the two year degree program in FL. I have been interested for some time in forensic radiology. Do you know where I can find more information regarding this field? I would like to find a school. Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Do you ever do ASRT CE credit talks on the subject? I am the planner for the WSRT seminar in the Seattle area this year and would love to have you do a talk for us. The forensic talks are always a big hit with the group and I would love to find out more on the virtual autopsy. I learned about it in an elective class that I took for by Bachelors. Please contact me if you are interested. Our seminar is the 21-23 of April 2016.
Hi Nancy I recently graduated with a BSc in Radiography and I always had an interest in forensic Radiography. Sadly I am from Trinidad and Tobago which has no courses in this area. Where do you recommend for a reputable Masters or advanced diploma in the US preferably Miami area?
Hello Nancy,
I am a student halfway through the radiology program, I was wondering what steps I could take to start working toward the forensic side of the field? Also, what aspects of forensic radiology do you enjoy the most and what do you think is the biggest challenge?
Thanks for this article!
How do you get into forensic radiology?
Could I get the author's contact information as well?
My dream job for sure! I want to help determine cause of death, especially in homicide cases. I'm in the process of earning my Bachelors, and will be doing my clinical rotations in CT soon. I'm hoping to find a job with a corners office for sure! Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated!
I have been an X-ray tech/CT tech/sonographer for 20 years and would like to learn more about this..

The cleverest accomodation in Bergamo!!!
Only 7 km far from Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport, the hostel is located in the living area called Monterosso, in Bergamo, just a few bus stops far from the city centre and Citt Alta, the Upper City (the historical area).
Shutlle Bus service available from/to airport at only 7 € per person (www.citymoving.it)
We also have a private pick up service available contacting the reception.
Thanks to this favourable position, guests can relax and enjoy the green atmosphere of the hills surrounding the area and easily reach the extraordinary artistic treasures of both the center and the Upper City: several museums, the Donizetti Theatre, the art gallery Accademia Carrara and the shopping center are just a few bus stops far.
84 beds, several common areas (leaving room with video and dvd player, wide terrace, big solarium on the roof facing Citt Alta and a rich garden surrounding the bilding), panoramic lift, lack of architectural barriers, internet corners and wireless connection, laundry, cheap phone, books exchange and a pleasant and serene atmosphere are just a few of the characteristics that make Bergamo YH such a pleasant place to stay for all our guests.
We are a member of the YHF, the great International Chain of Youth Hostels, therefore our ' Ostello' guarantees the highest standards.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very good hostel, very friendly people
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
English-speaking staff; friendly, clean; 10mins by bus from center
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
A very pleasant modern Hostel. Some way out of Bergamo. If you are coming by bus from the airport I suggest you get the 1C bus all the way to the old town and then get the number 3 from Old Town which takes you all the way to the Hostel terminus. It just seems easier than looking out for the bus stop on the number 6 route in the dark in our case although it is further. We actually walked from the 1 bus stop in town (Porto Nuovo). It took about 40 mins but you will need a good map or a TomTom to find hostel.
The rooms are very clean and my wife and I were given a family room with a bathroom shared with the next family room, not ideal but better than a bathroom shared with the whole floor.
Breakfast usual jam and bun, not very exiting. No cooking facilities but there was a microwave.
I marked the value down but that it because the £/euro is poor at the moment.

Official publication by the Ministry of Peace.
This is the second series of Daring Do's adventures. Here she battles the concept of friendship, the plots of the evil Ahuizotl, and perhaps a shadowy figure, deep in the darkness, pulling some strings.
Years before Littlepip stepped from Stable 2, the Wasteland greeted all ponies with it's usual contempt. Tome Tale and his silent partner, Stranger, live day to day on their next bag of caps, until they stumble into something bigger than themselves.
Bigger than the whole of Equestria.
Based on Fallout: Equestria by Kkat.
This story follows Tome Tale. A scholastic pony that prefers talking to fighting. Though he also has a bad habit of pissing ponies off. A pony with a hidden past, in an effort for caps he gets himself tangled in something not necessarily good for his health. A Wastelander that had long since hardened himself to the horrors of the Wasteland, the ice in his heart threatens to melt as friends are made, loves are lost, and the Wasteland and Stars yield their most darkest of secrets.
After Twilight's crazy creation of Theorization Manifestation, the rest of the mane 6 are looking out for new Manifestation spells to worry about. Turns out, Rainbow Dash has got one: Imagination Manifestation, the ability to bring fictional characters to life! This seems to go pretty great at first... just one problem. She can't put them back. Now her favorite characters are wreaking havoc across Ponyville. How will they stop the fictional characters and get them back in their stories?
A foal sitter named Shut Eye had the great misfortune of one too many run-ins with the Princess of the Night. His special talent, magic that lets him enter and alter dreams, makes him uniquely suited to performing duties that Luna needs assistance with.
When a child goes missing and a nightmare becomes reality, Shut Eye will have to travel far and face terrors none could have ever imagined.
Yes, this character DOES feature in my Daring Do books. However, this particular series is NOT part of my daring do universe.
This is set in my personal Almanac Universe and will be joined by many other books. These books are far longer, written in MY personal style (instead of my usual required mimicry of a k yearling from the show) so it should be far more complex.
This book is specifically far more adult and will contain sexual instances, as well as dark and bloody themes.
This was a commission ordered by Cloud Zapper himself at https://www.facebook.com/cloud.zapper.3
The Knights of Little Canterlot follow linked ponies on their adventures throughout Equestria, each book about a different character.
This is the latest Daring Do side story. This is a prequel to the daring do series.
Follow Swift Hooves as he goes from a young colt, to the darkest corners of his own sanity. Can he managed when he is given a gift that changes his life? What about if that gift is taken from him?
Can he stay who he is, when he loses everything?
(This book is CANON to the Daring Do stories and is NOT associated with the dark horse trilogy. The dark horse trilogy is set in an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE and is NOT canon to the daring do series.)
A Daring Do Side Story
Cloud Zapper wasn't always a strong and fearless Royal Guard. Once upon a time, he was simply a recruit. But even a recruit can do great things.
This is a commission and is not associated with my almanac universe or the daring do series. yes this character does appear in the daring do series, but the daring do version of shadow has an entirely different backstory.

In Rincones de luz, they are excellent hosts, professional, flexible and charismatic. The apartment is located close by to almost everything you want to see in Seville including restaurants/bars, boutiques and supermarkets. It is comfortable and cozy. I highly recommend to stay in Rincones de luz's apartment because I will stay there again. Thanks Rincones de luz specially Jesus
Buenos dias!
Comentarte que nuestra experiencia y estancia con windu ha sido del todo positiva.
Muy recomendable.
Garacias por todo!
Het was een heerlijk koel schoon appartement in een heel rustige steeg. De kathedraal is maar 12 minuten lopen, door heerlijke winkelstraten.
Bjj aankomst werd ik hartelijk welkom geheten door Maria. Ze spreekt alleen Spaans, maar weet heel goed duidelijk te maken waar alles is. Zo vertelt ze over de grote supermarkt op slechts 5 minuten lopen en heeft ze hele goede tips waar je kunt eten. Ik was om 20 uur in het appartement en om half 9 zat ik -dankzij de geweldige tip van Maria!- op een heerlijk plein te genieten van cerveza en tapas, tussen de Spanjaarden!! Wat wil een mens nog meer op zijn eerste avond in Sevilla?!
Ik kan dit appartement iedereen aanraden.
Contentos con el piso, no hay quejas. El trato con la dueña muy cordial.
Fijn appartement in leuke buurt in Sevilla met fantastisch terras
El apartamento es como se ve en las fotos. Está un poco machacado por el paso de la gente, pero está limpio. El acceso a la playa es inmejorable.
The host was very helpful, the apartament is beautyfull, clean and well equipet - it looks like on photos. The location is really nice - it's only 10 minutes from the airport (by taxi) and only 20 minutes from city center by bus. The beach is only 3 minutes from the apartament. There is a lot of restaurants, shops, and bars.
It was really great trip!
Great location nearby amazing restaurants and bars. We loved our stay there, especially relaxing on the rooftop terrance. Really great experience!
The stay was fully to our satisfaction. Really good.
No surprises.
Easy transport from the airport to Benalmadena by train and then to the apartment by taxi. Cheap, easy and fast...
Good view from the balcony and the pool area is really good for kids aging from 7 and up..
This appartment is really nice and clean. We came in july so it was very hot outside. Thanks to the airconditioning it was agreable in the appartment. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was about 15 minutes walk to the centre. Restaurants and shops nearby. Very nice appartment!

I'm currently in Singapore jet lagged and exhausted. On Wednesday, Despi and I will be presenting at the International Symposium of Electronic Art – ISEA 2008 where we will discuss Nature Holds My Camera: The Video Art of Sam Easterson. If anyone recalls, this is an exhibition we organized last summer and it turned out really well. If you attended, I would love to hear your thoughts.
It took 3 flights, about 19 hours of flying time and 6 hours of airport mulling to make it here. How does someone that works in new media stay occupied, engaged and sane on a trip like this? The glamour of economy class, cheap wine and tasteless food can only go so far. I'm talking about other options – but with a new media twist. So here goes –
Think about the next big thing. Think about nothing. Or, think about Flickr. I always opt for the window seat. It allows uninterrupted moments of thought and a great view. I love clouds and the landscape below, so in between naps, reading or thinking of the next IMA project, I take photos, lots of them. With that in mind, check out one of my favorite flickr groups, From the Airplane Window. You might even see some of my snaps and you'll think about flying differently the next time you take a flight. And speaking of flickr, have you checked out IMA's latest set of images? You should, because they're kind of cool.
I love planes and am happy to discuss my favorites or least favorites. But hands down, the only plane for me is the Boeing 747. It's a beautiful piece of design – massive but elegant, stylish and timeless. Which of course leads me to mention IMA's blog – specifically our first guest blogger, Patrick Smith, who submitted a superb post on the 747, Pan Am, the Concorde, and the Jetliner as Art. So – if you're stuck in an airport with your laptop and looking for something to do (other than check work e-mail), read his post, then impress the person sitting next to you on your next flight, with your new knowledge of aircraft design.
If you're not the chatty type, recline your seat, turn on your iPod and watch or listen to Indianapolis Museum of Art content. Yes, you better believe it. The IMA has its own iTunes page where you can check out some of our latest audio and video content. And unlike airline food/drinks, our stuff is free, educational, engaging and sometimes funny. Anyone remember the I love the A.D.'s webisode from the Roman Art from the Louvre exhibition? It's on our iTunes page. Just click, here (make sure you have iTunes installed on your machine).
The NES practically raised me as a kid, so I still hold a special place in my heart for video games. Recently, I've given more and more thought to the role that new handheld devices can assist our visitors in a more meaningful experience. For instance, when our Art and Nature Park opens next year, should we provide visitors with handhelds such as iPhones, PSP's or PDA's? I don't know the answer to that…yet, but staff at the IMA are already thinking about the next innovative visitor experience. Flying 35,000 in the air, I messed around with the Sony PSP as a possible device. I watched our latest video with Jim Irsay and of course, played some video games – Lego Star Wars II being my favorite (who doesn't love R2D2?). It's unlikely the IMA will partner with Rockstar Games to create an Art Museum Curator game, but we might just create content that will live on your PSP, iPhone/iTouch, or the next popular device. We're crafty that way.
It's now 8:30am Monday morning (8:30pm Sunday night in Indy) and I'm off to some conference sessions. I would love to hear your thoughts on how to use technology when traveling. I'm sure I missed something.

Climb the delicate thin crack near the right edge of the slab and the short-lived but gripping curving flake above which definitely looks detached! Finish up the short crack.
The flake section of this route is brilliant but the described approach is disjointed, slippery and dirty. For a really quality outing, take Great Slab to beneath the flake, then take the flake and the continuation crack above - a much better and more logical line.

The Reason Behind Chevron's Drop of USA Petroleum Deal
Observers believe the FTC investigation into the acquisition played a part.
SAN RAMON, Calif. -- Late last week, Chevron announced it was axing plans to acquire 122 stations from USA Petroleum in California. Although company spokeswoman Stephanie Price told The Associated Press the drop was "for business reasons," others involved with the purchase believe it may be due to a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation into Chevron's planned acquisition.
"There is a provision in the purchase and sales agreement with Chevron that allows either party to withdraw if it appears resistance from the FTC is going to be more than is reasonable or tolerable," Mark Conant, the president of USA Petroleum, told Contra Costa Times. "Chevron decided we were at that point."
According to Price, Chevron made its pre-merger notification filing, but the FTC had not completed its review. "We subsequently withdrew our FTC filing," she told the paper.
The deal between Chevron and USA Petroleum, which was announced in mid-July, planned to have the stations fly the Chevron or Texaco banner. CSNews Online reported at the time that Chevron had completed the transaction, and would revamp the stations to new image standards along with a rebrand to Texaco or Chevron banners. A majority of the sites are unbranded, but some fly the Chevron or Shell banner. The purchase price for the stations was never disclosed.
At the time, USA Petroleum owner John Moller said: "After nearly 50 years, I believe it is appropriate to sell some of our retail gas station holdings, and I believe that the transition to Chevron also will be good for my customers and station employees."
Last month, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif ., asked the FTC last month to investigate the acquisition, as she felt large oil companies in California, including Chevron, could be dominating the market with their large number of gas stations, thus leading to anti-competitive business practices.
Chevron's public relations and event manager, Gus Santoyo, told CSNews Online at the time "The FTC is thoroughly reviewing the deal and the company is fully cooperating with the FTC and the review."
In her letter, Boxer stated that the retail gas market is ruled by large branded refiners. Seven major refiners, Chevron included, make up nearly 90 percent of retail gas sold in the state through supply contracts or their own retail stations, according to Boxer. "This means that large branded refiners have a significant effect on retail gas prices in California by virtue of their dominant position in the market," she said. California has about 10,000 gas stations, 1,500 of which under the Chevron or Texaco name, according to Chevron.
The acquisition of USA Petroleum and its assets, including its retail stations, "could further diminish independent unbranded retailers' market position and present potential anti-competitive effects for consumers, including higher retail prices," Boxer concluded.
On the news of the termination, Boxer said "Finally, there is some good news for the consumer with the termination of this proposal." She added "I believe consumers will be better served without a continuation of consolidation that has eroded the competitive gas market over the past decade."
Calls for comment from both Chevron and USA Petroleum were not returned by press time.

While a few inmates like Sara Khan and Ashmit Patel were happy with the entry of this lady, inmates like Manoj Tiwari and Shweta Tiwari maintained a cold attitude towards the new entrant. Manoj Tiwari was shown bitching about Dolly with other inmates of the house. Both Manoj and Shweta prefered keeping away from Dolly. However, Dolly made herself comfortable, unconcerned about anyone in the house. She has already conquered the territory of Shweta by bossing over the Bigg Boss kitchen.Dollys late entry in the Bigg Boss house has brought a lot of (dhamaka) news from the outer world new for the contestants. She revealed the news to all the inmates about Shweta Tiwari, Sara Khan and Ashmit Patel. While Shweta prefered not to believe her, Sara Khan was surprised to hear all the speculations made by the media.More controversies that Dolly will bring is likely to be revealed in the coming episodes. Till then keep bitching with Bigg Boss 4.

Silver expert Ted Butler has long predicted and awaited an eventual industrial shortage of physical silver, and a resulting panic silver buying that terminates the bullion bank cartel's manipulation of the silver market.
Butler may be about to be finally proven correct, if an Apple contractor is right that Apple has delayed production on the new 27" iMacs over an industrial silver shortage in China.
With the US Mint sold out of Silver Eagles and production shut down for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, and shortages of nearly all retail silver products rapidly developing along with spiking physical premiums, it appears that a widespread retail, and perhaps industrial physical silver shortage is developing and escalating by the hour.

Ethel Turner, one of Australia's most famous authors, produced a large number of volumes, from prior to the turn of the century until the 1940's. Although her stories are now rather dated, she enabled the children at that time, to gain a greater sense of what it was to be Australian. Turner has the ability to produce very realistic child characters portrayed as true individuals, with very definite personalities, strengths and weaknesses. Turner believed in the innate goodness of children as each of her characters portray. Even Lol, the little larrikin, the leader of a "push", aggravatingly mischievous, can wheedle his way into the affections of any adult, the assumption being that he is thoroughly good at heart (Saxby, 1969, p. 84). Her stories were enjoyed by adults and children alike, with action, drama and much sibling rivalry!
Ethel Turner was born in Yorkshire in 1872, the younger sister of Lilian - who would also go on to become a well known writer - and older sister to Rosie. They began life in England and then migrated to Australia with their widowed mother in c.1880. Three Little Maids, published in 1900 is partly autobiographical, based on the lives of the three girls at that time. Ethel attended Sydney Girls High School, along with another famous Australian author, Louise Mack, the two of whom remained friends for life. Both Lilian and Ethel were prolific writers as children, creating their own stories and magazines from an early age. In 1889 they began The Parthenon, a magazine in which Ethel, thanks to Lilian's insistance as the older sister, was made to write the children's pages. Thus began a great writing career that would span many decades. The first stories to appear were Gladys and the Fairies and later A Dreadful Pickle and A Girl Named Bobbie.
Ethel also kept a detailed diary for many years and in it wrote all of her thoughts and desires including, 'I do want fame - plenty of it' (Niall, 1979, p. 16). Fame is certainly what she got, but right from the beginning worked hard to obtain it. She often wrote under a pseudonym, including 'Princess Ida' after the character in Tennyson's The Princess, (Whom Ida Rentoul Outhwaite was named after). She worked for The Illustrated Sydney News, who were later taken over by Town and Country Journal, under the name 'Dame Durden' in their children's section and also had work published with the Bulletin and the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
In 1894, her first novel was published by Ward Lock in London, the now famous Seven Little Australians. It sold out within just a few weeks of being released in Sydney and went on to earn her five thousand pounds in its first year. Already Turner had the fame and furtune she desired. Seven Little Australians and it's immediate sequel The Family at Misrule, 1895 (written in just five months) are concerned with the well respected Woolcot family, living on the outskirts of Sydney. Little Mother Meg also continued the story, but did not appear until 1902. These stories are typical of the 'children should be seen, but not heard' era. The children spend the majority of their time without any adult supervision, with Captain Woolcot only appearing at times when severe discipline is needed! Apart from being on hand to supply the occasional beating, he very much leads his own life and allows the children to live theirs. The book also contains one of the most well remembered scenes from any Australian novel - the death of the mischievous and much loved Judy. This was a most unexpected turn in the plot and shows Turner's ability as a powerful story teller. Her description of the accident and her subsequent death are quite chilling, yet with touches of humour, expressing each child's individual reaction superbly. The two sequels although well received, lacked the strength of Seven Little Australians and paled in comparison to this now famous classic.
Turner was a prolific writer and continued to produce at least one novel nearly every year. On top of this she published numerous articles and short stories which appeared in newspapers and magazines in Australia as well as Britain. Despite her huge popularity in Britain, she chose to live in Australia rapidly becoming a national figure. Her books and stories continued to sell well, despite constant bickerings with her Ward Lock publishers. Ward Lock although a very large and successful publisher were also very conservative, Turner was constantly disatisfied with their handling of her works and wished to become known more as a writer about children than for children (Niall, 1979, p. 22). Disputes continued as did continuous criticism of her works, requesting sections be re-written, length be altered and titles be changed. Eventually Turner took her 1907 book, That Girl - described by Ward Lock as being too sombre - to Fisher Unwin. However, she felt they were again too similar to Ward Lock's style and thus sent her next four books to Hodder & Stoughton - namely Fair Innes, The Apple of Happiness, The Secret of the Sea and Flower 'o the Pine. Unfortunately her sales were not as strong with Hodder & Stoughton and in 1915 she returned to Ward Lock.
The Cub was the first of her 'war' novels and became the first of a trilogy with Captain Cub appearing in 1917 and Brigid and the Cub in 1919.
She married Herbert Curlewis in 1896 and two years later gave birth to a daughter, Jean and in 1901 a son, Adrian. Jean was later to follow in her morther's footsteps and become an author and Adrian followed his father's, both of whom became judges.

KYOTO – Acclaimed author Haruki Murakami said in a rare public appearance that his latest novel, depicting the story of a man facing up to his bitter past, is a "new attempt" for him.
"There may be some people who feel I'm going backward from a literary perspective, but for me it's a new attempt," the 64-year-old told an audience of 500 people chosen by lottery for the event at Kyoto University on Monday.
His latest novel, "Shikisai o Motanai Tazaki Tsukuru to, Kare no Junrei no Toshi" ("Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage"), released last month, revolves around a lonely 36-year-old man who was deeply hurt by his experiences in adolescence and visits old friends 16 years later.
Talking about the background of his latest work, Murakami said he has developed "an interest in actual human beings" and that the novel ended up with more characters than originally planned.
He also revealed he was "guided" by the characters when writing. "I felt as if I was getting bigger by being guided through an experience," Murakami said. "I hope the readers will be able to share such a feeling."
His first novel in three years was released April 12 and sold a million copies in the first week.
The interview, conducted by literary critic Yutaka Yukawa, was organized to commemorate the launch of a new literary prize in the name of the late Hayao Kawai, a professor emeritus at Kyoto University and former head of the Cultural Affairs Agency.
In a lecture prior to the interview, Murakami said: "Stories lie deep in our souls. Stories lie so deep at the bottom of our hearts that they can bring people together on the deepest level. When I write a novel, I go into such depths."
Touching on his memories of Kawai, a noted Jungian psychologist who died in 2007 at age 79, Murakami said he was "the only person" with whom he could empathize in terms of such depths.

Nicki Minaj Hit With 'Starships' Lawsuit
Nicki Minaj's biggest pop record is now being accused of plagiarism. Clive Tanaka is suing the Young Money rapstress, producer RedOne, contributors Carl Falk, Wayne Hector and Rami Yacoub for "Starships," whose viral stuck-in-your-head-upon-playback appeal stayed wedged in Billboard's Top 10 for 21 consecutive weeks last summer. The mystery singer claims she jocked substantial portions from his 2011 single "Neu Chicago," the Chicago Tribune reports.
Tanaka filed the suit under his company's name, Tanaka Light Industries USA, and also says that RedOne and Minaj's other "Starships" collaborators resided in Sweden the time his dance track was blowing up overseas. "They had a very good opportunity to hear it," Tanaka's attorney Christopher Niro said.
This wouldn't be the first instance where a mega star was hit with plagiarism allegations. Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker pointed the finger at Beyonce for stealing her dance moves in the 2011 video "Countdown."
Take a listen to both tracks and determine if "Starships" was a copycat below.

TWO of Wasps' most exciting talents played for England at Twickenham yesterday.
Joe Simpson and Elliot Daly played in the youthful England XV that was beaten 39-29 by the Barbarians.
Daly actually played for the Barbarians against England in this fixture last season.
He said: "It's the first [time in an England shirt] here at Twickenham for me, so it was a really special day – just disappointed that we didn't get the win.
"It was a tough fixture and I think both teams can hold their heads up high."
Meanwhile, Joe Launchury, James Haskell and Matt Mullan are with the full England squad in New Zealand ahead of the first test against the All Blacks on June 7.

I like to laugh....A LOT!! If it's one thing I'm known for, it's making the people in my life laugh OFTEN!
Moved here for in November 2010 from the tri-state area of New York/PA, NJ. Met my beautiful girlfriend on here a year later. Now we're in an open relationship where we both play with others; I'm back looking for a play partner who's looking for some fun and likes the idea that I'm attached.
Also looking at going back to school to finish my undergrad, then grad school, for physical therapy.
Been working in aviation for the past 15yrs and have loved it! I started my aviation career with the Marine Corps as a helicopter mechanic & crew chief. That was an amazing time, full of many many wonderful memories! When I left the Corps, I found a job that focused on scheduling pilots & flight attendants. I took a short 2yr hiatus from scheduling in order to take a job with Boeing as a Technical Writer. It was a lot of fun to work in such a technical job that allowed you to use colored pencils, lol. Working only as a contractor, though, I was one of many to be let go when there were budget issues. I eventually found my way back to the airlines working with scheduling pilots & flight attendants again.
However, its time for a career change, which is why I'll soon be going back to school for a job that a) piques my interest, b) suits my skill sets, c) offers better stability than the airline industry, and d) offers a gentler quality of life than airlines do, lol. Looking at different schools for physical therapy, as that seems to fit my skill sets best.
Working hard, playing harder, and keeping busy with learning new things along the way.
Love to laugh, love to find the humor in nearly any situation; I use a lot of humor to diffuse difficult/stressful situations. Seem to be able to find the silver lining in nearly any situation. Been through too much to not have learned how to appreciate things in life.

Quiet time to decompress from a stressful day at work.
I also spend a lot of time thinking of ways to enjoy my time each day, looking for something fun to do.
with the right chemistry, I enjoy the kinky play time and (possibly) doing whatever I'm told to do for the right woman who enjoys being playfully bossy :-)

Jerusalem (Oct. 28)
More than 300,000 voters went to the polls throughout Palestine today to elect 79 delegates to the World Zionist Congress, running on 15 slates.
The chief issue in the elections is partition, with the Zionist attitude towards Britain running a close second. The Revisionists charged yesterday on the eve of the elections that the Jewish Agency has already signed an agreement with the British Government "selling out Jewish interests." The Agency vigorously denied the allegation. For the first time in the history of modern Palestine the Communist Party has entered the election lists.
The dusk-to-dawn curfew which has been in effect on all roads was lifted only for tonight to facilitate the widest participation in the elections.
