Michael Joseph Jackson
(August 29, 1958 -June 25, 2009)

American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.

One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era—and the sales of over 750 million albums worldwide. Cited as one of the world's most famous men, Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades.

The first of five phases of voting has begun in India, which is holding the world's largest parliament elections. More than two-and-half-million security officers are on duty in the 15 states and two territories where balloting began Thursday. Polling has been disrupted in several states, where attacks on polling booths and security forces are blamed on communist insurgents. For the 15th time since independence, Indians are choosing their national lawmakers.

Security is especially heavy in several central and eastern states, where Maoist insurgents, known as Naxalites, are attempting to disrupt polling.

Six members of a para-military force, on their way to guard polling booths in Jharkhand, died when their vehicle was hit by a land mine.

Police are also keeping a close eye on thousands of other voting centers, considered vulnerable to party activists taking control of polling booths.

Here in Andhra Pradesh, the incumbent government at the state and national level -- led by the Congress Party -- is pinning its hopes on voters such as dental surgeon Minhaj Uddin Ahmed. He told VOA News the electorate is making its decision based on the performance of the government and what it has been providing for the public.

"All these things we need to take into consideration before voting. Nowadays, people are well acquainted and very much aware of the political environment here. People are very much happy with this particular government right now in Andhra Pradesh," he said.

At another polling station nearby, housewife Kota Durga had a different opinion. She complains prices of commodities have become too high and tells VOA she voted for change.

Durga also laments that women should feel safe and not feel it is difficult to come out of the house.

Andhra Pradesh holds the second phase of balloting in a week. Polls show a tight race in this key state and analysts say the outcome here could determine the balance of power at the national level.

Neither of the two main parties - Congress and the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party - is expected to win enough of the 543 Lower House seats to form a government by itself. That has leftist and regional parties playing a more critical role on the election stage here in Andhra Pradesh and other key states.

Nationally, more than 700-million voters are eligible to cast ballots in the month-long election, which is staggered for logistics and security reasons.

A Gokey came and a Gokey went, and we shall hear from him no more. In desperate times such as these, there is no place for a Gokey, a relic of times' past, when a voice and only a voice could make one a pop sensation. Danny Gokey would be an ideal candidate for American Idol if it were, as Randy so brazenly states, "a singing competition." It is not merely a singing competition, it is a competition to become a star, and everything that comes with it. Danny had the vocals down, but everything else was lacking, which is something I cannot blame Danny for. He's a pious, kind of dorky white guy from Milwaukee. Of course he's not going to move particularly well on stage. Danny maxed out his potential, almost fooling America in the process. Although I have been a staunch Anti-Gokite all season, I have not come to spit on the man's grave. Instead, I plan to make amends, in a way.

Swine flu occurs regularly in pigs and most of the time humans do not catch it. However, the current strain of swine flu has crossed to humans and has now started to spread around the world through human-to-human contact.

Gaining control of the emerging swine flu outbreak will depend upon combining a national and local public health response with calm cooperation on the part of all citizens. But this hasn't been happening.

When more than 100 students became ill at St. Francis Preparatory School in Fresh Meadows, the school hesitated before closing and an alumni party went on as scheduled. Yet many of us who are at far less risk have panicked.

Nothing captures the imagination like a new scourge, and too often we worry about remote risks while ignoring real dangers. As the new swine flu strain spreads in the United States, following more than 1,000 cases in Mexico, we imagine the worst. Now that the United States has seen its first death - of a toddler from Mexico whose family brought him to Houston for treatment - those fears are amplified. We hear about an unseen killer and worry that we'll be next.
