Neil Young: Fork in the Road

Neil Young's latest set, Fork in the Road, took inspiration from his LincVolt project, a 1959 Lincoln retrofitted with an experimental electric engine.
The disc, due April 7, has a casual vibe and was written and recorded quickly as Young toured last winter - almost every song is car-themed.

Zero Gravity Pac-Man

Pac-Man Physics is an experimental take on Namco's classic maze game, where the law of physics is applied to wall sections, dots and power pellets which are not anchored down to their original spots onscreen. Your goal remains the same and ghosts will still chase you, although collecting power pellets now creates a force of gravity pulling all objects towards one particular direction.

Online Dating Boom

NOT many industries are doing well in the recession. But along with discount retailers and pawnbrokers, online-dating sites such as eHarmony.com and OkCupid.com have seen business look up. There are several theories to explain why. It may be that people have more time to devote to their private lives as the economy slows; that uncertain times increase the desire for companionship; or that living alone is expensive, whereas couples can split many of their costs.

3 Drugs in 1 Wonder Pill

It's been a dream for a decade: a single daily pill combining aspirin, cholesterol medicine and blood pressure drugs — everything people need to prevent heart attacks and strokes in a cheap, generic form. Skeptics said five medicines rolled into a single pill would mean five times more side effects. Some people would get drugs they don't need, while others would get too little. One-size-fits-all would turn out to fit very few, they warned. Now the first big test of the "polypill" has proved them wrong.

In her new memoir, "Cloris," out next week, she recalls bumping into Gene Hackman while both were shooting movies in San Francisco in the 1970s and dining with him at their hotel.
"As we moved into the main course, it was as if a cosmic wind enveloped us. Some giant space magnet was pulling us together," Leachman writes. "We didn't finish the meal. We went upstairs, flew into bed and made love. It was epic. And the next morning, Gene went back to his film and I went back to mine. I haven't seen Gene since that night, but I remember well the feisty lad he was."

Hitler's paintings to go on sale

A British auction house said on Thursday it intends to sell 13 paintings attributed to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler next month.
The works, including a self portrait painted when Hitler was a struggling artist in Vienna, will go under the hammer on April 23, Mullock's Specialist Auctioneers and Valuers said.
Two years ago, 21 paintings attributed to Hitler were sold for 118,000 pounds ($172,200), or more than twice the pre-sale estimate, by an auction house in England. The sale raised doubts among some art experts about the authenticity of the paintings.

Who's the Heartthrob Now?

Muddying up America’s heartthrob isn’t such a dirty job after all. Twenty-year-old model Edita Vilkeviciute rolled around with Zac Efron for Interview magazine's cover shoot this past January. On the day of the shoot, the Lithuanian-born beauty admitted to the Disney star that she had no idea who he was.
As it was partly her job to transform the High School Musical star from a kiddie crush to a full-on sex object, Vilkeviciute (a year Efron’s junior) leveled the playing field straight off the bat. “Zac finally admitted to me that this was his first real fashion shoot,” she said.

Marianne Remains Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull came to prominence in the 60s in pop and rock and relationships with Mick Jagger and other rock figures. She dropped out for awhile due to a struggle with drug abuse, but has now had a distinguished long career in many different areas, working as a singer, songwriter, actress and diarist. She has collaborated with such people as David Bowie, Beck, Keith Richards, Tom Waits, Roger Waters and The Chieftains. She ranked No. 25 in VH1’s “100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll.”
The new album, EASY COME, EASY GO finds a serene, 62-year-old Faithfull decades removed from her tortured depths, singing with an almost regal calm. Faithfull's guests include Nick Cave, Cat Power, Antony Hegarty, Rufus Wainwright, and Kate & Anna McGarrigle.

But someone has to do all that writing, even if each entry is barely a sentence long. In many cases, celebrities and their handlers have turned to outside writers — ghost Twitterers, if you will — who keep fans updated on the latest twists and turns, often in the star’s own voice.

Officers interviewed the Puerto Rican singer upon his arrival but did not arrest him. No charges have been filed, but an investigation continues.

Classic Toy from a Classic Time

Welcome to The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab from 1951.
This was the most elaborate Atomic Energy educational set ever produced, but it was only available from 1951 to 1952. It had a high price for the time ($50.00) and today, it is so highly prized by collectors that a complete set can go for more than 100 times the original price.
The set came with four types of uranium ore, a beta-alpha source (Pb-210), a pure beta source (Ru-106), a gamma source (Zn-65?), a spinthariscope, a cloud chamber with its own short-lived alpha source (Po-210), an electroscope, a geiger counter, a manual, a comic book (Dagwood Splits the Atom) and a government manual "Prospecting for Uranium."

Teleprompter Prompts Pompous Politicians

When President Obama opened his news conference last evening with comments about the budget, the economy and the work his administration is doing, he was looking across the East Room to a large teleprompter screen where his prepared remarks were scrolling.
That has critics, such as Jonathan Garthwaite at the conservative Townhall.com, saying things such as "maybe he can lip-sync to a recording next time." FoxNews.com is calling Obama the "Prompter-in-Chief"
Without a doubt, many of the attacks from the far-right against President Obama have amounted to nothing more than the political equivalent of speaking in tongues.
The most ridiculous of the attacks are the ones that entirely ignore the legacy of the previous president. The far-right's staggering disregard for the significant flaws of the former Republican president confounds logic when measured against their ridiculous attacks on the current president.
ATTACK: President Obama took a vacation to Hawaii.
REALITY: President Bush set a record for presidential vacations during two wars and a major hurricane.

ATTACK: President Obama's budget could double the national debt.
REALITY: President Bush's spending actually did.

ATTACK: President Obama is "shredding the Constitution."
REALITY: You mean there's a Constitution left to be shredded?

ATTACK: President Obama chuckled while talking about bailing out the auto industry.
REALITY: President Bush routinely smirked and grinned while talking about the significantly more serious issues of war and military casualties.

ATTACK: President Obama is incompetent.
REALITY: Do I even need to do the list?

ATTACK: President Obama is presiding over a one-party fascist government.
REALITY: This is not a joke.

A startup called OnLive—announced today but seven years in development—threatens to make video game consoles obsolete and cut into retail sales of video games on disk.
OnLive will offer high-end video games on demand over the internet. The games will run on OnLive's servers in five data centers across the U.S. Gamers won't download the games—they'll connect via the Net to OnLive servers and play the games remotely.

Williams Recovering

Oscar winner Robin Williams is expected to make a complete recovery from his recent heart surgery in the next two months and plans to resume his comedy tour afterward.
The 57-year-old actor had an operation to replace an aortic valve on March 13. He was expected to make a complete recovery in the next eight weeks.
A couple of hours after surgery, he was entertaining the medical team and making them laugh.
Williams being Williams, he couldn't resist a comic aside.
"I got some great new material for the tour and can't wait to get back on the road," he said. "I'm thinking the next leg of the tour will be `Weapons of Self-Destruction and Reconstruction'!"

FDA Ordered to Rethink Plan B

A federal judge ordered the Food and Drug Administration yesterday to reconsider its 2006 decision to deny girls younger than 18 access to the morning-after pill Plan B without a prescription.
U.S. District Judge Edward R. Korman in New York instructed the agency to make Plan B available to 17-year-olds within 30 days and to review whether to make the emergency contraceptive available to all ages without a doctor's order.
In his 52-page decision, Korman repeatedly criticized the FDA's handling of the issue, agreeing with allegations in a lawsuit that the decision was "arbitrary and capricious" and influenced by "political and ideological" considerations imposed by the Bush administration.

South By Kanye West

AUSTIN, Texas -- The troubled economy cast a large shadow over the worldwide music industry gathered in the Texas capital for the 23rd annual South by Southwest Music & Media Conference.
But if the old business model is terminal, the music is healthy as ever, with 1,900 artists from 40 countries performing during four nights of showcase gigs.
The biggest name was the founder of G.O.O.D. Music, who appeared Saturday during a two-hour showcase for his label at a party sponsored by a clothing company and a music magazine. As he introduced himself: "Rockin' Southwest ... Kanye West!"
West owned the stage with material from last year's "808s & Heartbreak." Recorded in a burst of cathartic energy after the death of his mother, the album is dark, brooding and introspective. But in Texas, with no hint of his infamous ego and or the sort of diva tantrum he threw at the Bonnaroo Fest last June, West turned his songs into celebratory anthems.

From Jobless to Tople$$

At times declension in economy becomes a decisive factor and smashes the ethical standard of the State or a society or even an individual.
It was in the 1930s, during the Great Depression, when owing to worldwide economic depression, mass unemployment and extreme poverty lots of women became sex objects and thus became sources of entertainment either through strip shows, cabaret or adult entertainments.
Now, after several decades, it seems that the same ethos has returned on account of a new acute economic crisis (leading to layoffs, decrease in salaries) and the U.S. adult entertainment industry has rejuvenated once again.
You may not believe it but the industry is witnessing a plethora of applications from young women. What attracts them? They happen to be the promise of flexible schedules and fast cash...

With the Economy Down, Vasectomy Rates Are Up
The expense of raising another child may be driving the trend, doctors say...
Doctors around the United States are reporting a sharp increase in the number of vasectomies performed since the economy soured last year.
Their best guess is that the trend is due both to a decreased desire to have children because of the expense involved, and an increased desire to get such medical procedures done before their jobs -- and health insurance -- disappear.

Pleasant Surprise: President Apologizes

After a prolonged period of presidential arrogance and lack of accountability, Barack Obama's apology is refreshing...
President Barack Obama has apologized for a gaffe in which he described his bowling skills as akin to participants in the Special Olympics, a sports program for people with intellectual disabilities.
Obama made the mistake during an interview Thursday night on "The Tonight Show" with host Jay Leno, the first time a sitting U.S. president had been on a late-night U.S. TV talk show.
Talking about living in the White House, Obama said he had been practicing his bowling in the residence's bowling alley and had scored a 129 score out of a possible 300. "It's like -- it was like Special Olympics or something," Obama said.
Soon after the Jay Leno interview, Obama telephoned Special Olympics chairman Tim Shriver to apologize.
