When thousands of birds rained from the sky over Beebe, Arkansas, on New Year's Day 2011, scientists theorized it was due to noise pollution created by celebratory fireworks. This article asks the question: Do you think we need to institute noise regulations around sensitive natural areas, or would such laws be too intrusive, unrealistic, and impossible to enforce?

Most pop songs in India come out of its movie industry — the famous “Bollywood” based in Mumbai aka Bombay — and this tune is from Blue, released in late '09. It’s a big-budget action flick shot in the Bahamas — something about an underwater treasure guarded by sharks — but being Bollywood, you also need your big musical numbers, of course. Composed by A.R. Rahman, who did the music for Slumdog Millionaire, for this one they snagged Aussie dance diva Kylie Minogue to duet with

So, how long will being a Foursquare Mayor matter now that the 6-million strong Location Based Service is moving toward segmentation?
In fact, is there any real “grown up” reason to being the “Mayor” of Joe’s Coffee shop?
Is there any “grown up” reason to being a Foursquare Mayor of anything?
It’s a bit like collecting marbles or baseball cards. It gives the collector a certain ego boost and bragging rights...on the playground.

What is that I grasp, I miss
When half awake or half asleep I feel such deep, deep longing
Knowing only the rich sadness
The ache
I glimpse a red checkered skirt
A fragment of fabric at the corner of my consciousness
the swish
I cry
Not for no reason
But for a reason beyond knowing

For then I lose it all to sleep
Or to sudden awakeness
But still the scene is there
I will only ever glimpse it fleetingly
By myself, alone
