It so happens that on Jan 2nd a previously unrealeased Michale Jackson song hit the web via YouTube. It is not the full song but a snippet that lasts for about a minute and a half.

A race hate group on Facebook now has members from Australia's elite schools. The group calls itself " Mate speak English, you're in Australia Now " and has a logo of the Aussie flag with the caption 'F** off we're full". With a Group Description saying " if you want to speak your crappy language, go back to where you came from"  The group at present does not have any Admins as all the admins left. The last one said it was started as a joke when his friends heard immigrants speaking different languages on the train. Once he caught on that the postings were becoming raciest he exited the group. Saying that he had friends from different ethnic backgrounds. The group is against immigrants. One student posting on the page, who says he is from Melbourne's Xavier College, has challenged the college's principal to expel him for joining the group. Dr Chris Hayes, Principal of Xavier College , said anyone who had joined the group had broken the s...

She said Romero is alleged to have stolen the dog — Buddy, a German shepherd-blue heeler mix — from people in Delta.

A surveillance video showed a truck entering the monument at 2:18 am with a dog in the bed of the truck, it showed the same truck leaving at 2:30 with no dog. Witnesses said Romero said he was going to kill the dog, another said he saw Romero leave the residence with the dog. Romero faces one count of aggravated cruelty towards animals.

Stephen Fry announced on his Twitter account that will be missing from his account for about three months. He is doing this in order to concentrate on writing his Biography. In a mini-blog farewell note. He says some people can write with distractions but he cannot and needs quietness and peace. He will be back in a while once he is done writing. Well now, this is a sort of farewell . An  au revoir  more than an  adieu  but a valediction all the same. This morning I switch off most of my connections with the outside world, for I have work to do. I must deliver a book to my publishers by the end of April or my soul and testicles will be forfeit. Some people can write with ease in whatever circumstances they find themselves. Up a tree, on a bus, in a log cabin, a steamy-windowed café or a tropical beach. Some don’t mind noise, distraction or a broken up day. I, unhappily, am not made of this material. I need peace, absolute peace, an empty diary and zero distraction. I enter a kind of w...
