It is a truly sad day when a grown woman feels the need to harass a teenage girl. Even worse is when she does it hiding behind the anonymity offered by the Internet. Lori Drew, of St. Louis, Missouri, did exactly that. “Josh Evans” appeared on MySpace in 2006 and began chatting with thirteen-year-old Megan Meier, a former friend of Drew’s daughter. She believed he wanted to pursue a relationship with her. Then Drew, along with nineteen-year-old coconspirator Ashley Grills, told Megan that the “world would be better off without” her.
It seems to me that everything in the world of technology is becoming super-sized. Intel has leaked information about their new six-core processor. Hitachi recently started marketing their Terabyte hard drive. (For those of you who don’t speak Greek or Geek, that translates into 1,000 GB or five trillion-zillion songs). Even input devices like mice have become mega-sized, either enhanced with features or encrusted with jewels. Recently, I found a new device that has joined the upgrade parade—the Optimus Maximus keyboard.

Producers and judges have been pushing for this match-up for weeks, even as Syesha Mercado turned in amazing, finale-worthy performances.

The finale will be less about who is the better singer (as they are both quite talented) and more about what America is looking for from their next “idol.”
Lately, it seems like there is a new natural disaster of epic proportions every day, somewhere in the world. Cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes, oh my! I wouldn’t be surprised if people started saying that the end of the world was upon us. The horrific truth of the matter is that there are millions of people worldwide who are in desperate need of help after these recent events, and sadly, they aren’t necessarily getting it.
Locke has always believed he was meant to be on the island, and has repeatedly sabotaged his chances to escape. It is pretty hard to blame the guy considering that, pre-crash, he was paralyzed and had mostly horrible life experiences. But, in this illuminating episode, we learn that Locke was chosen to be on the island and that many attempts were made to get him there. We still have to wait to find out why, but first let’s start with a little background.
