“There are injuries. Possible surgery,” Roush Fenway Racing president Geoff Smith said in a text message to The Associated Press. “But he walked out of the plane.”

Smith confirmed that the plane belonged to Roush, and he was flying it. Smith said Roush’s injuries include facial lacerations.

Roush, an aviation buff, was attending the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., this week.

In a statement on the EAA Web site, officials said a Beechcraft Premier business jet registered to Roush Fenway Racing, LLC was involved in a landing accident at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.

The accident occurred at approximately 6:15 p.m. CDT, the statement said.

According to the EAA, the National Transportation Safety Board and Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that two occupants on board were Roush and Brenda Strickland of Plymouth, Mich. Strickland is a friend of Roush’s.

“Each exited the aircraft following the accident,” the statement said. “Both were transported to local hospitals, with Roush in serious but stable condition and Strickland with non-life threatening injuries. The NTSB is leading the investigation into the accident.”

According to a statement from the team, Roush was landing his plane when the accident occurred.

“Dr. Kevin Wasco, the attending physician, says that Roush is in serious but stable condition,” the team’s statement said. “His injuries are not life threatening.”

It is the second close call for Roush, who crashed a plane into a pond in Alabama in 2002 and nearly drowned before being rescued by an ex-Marine who lived nearby. Despite sustaining serious injuries, Roush continued flying.

Roush owns several aircraft, including a World War II-vintage P-51 Mustang.

After having success in dragsters and sports car racing, Roush – a former Ford engineer and college physics teacher – founded his NASCAR team in 1988. Known for his trademark Panama-style hat, academic speaking style and love for tinkering with anything mechanical, he won championships in NASCAR’s top series with Matt Kenseth in 2003 and Kurt Busch in 2004.

Since 2007, Roush has partnered with the Fenway Sports Group, the sports marketing arm of the Boston Red Sox’s parent company.

The team currently fields cars in the Cup series for Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and David Ragan.

Lopez vanished Thursday while walking home from a summer academy chic at Valley View High School.

Detectives say Lopez was accepted to accommodated her adolescent sister and a associate at the girls’ home in the 27000 block of Cottonwood Avenue.

Family associates told badge Norma usually absolved home from academy south on Nason Artery to Dracaea Avenue and again took a adjustment through a acreage south to Cottonwood.

According Evgency Morozov, a researcher and blogger who writes about threats and political contest on the Internet,at times the threats are due to government agencies and cyber-security companies creating a false-hype about the subject. It is these agencies and companies that would acceptable be active in the accident of an attack, and they are aggravating to boom up business for themselves.

One allotment of proposed legislation would accord the US Admiral the ascendancy to acknowledge a “cyber aegis emergency” and shut bottomward or absolute internet cartage to analytical advice in the absorption of security. While the bill is boilerplate abutting to actuality passed, it will be absorbing to see how abundant beef the bill picks up over the advancing weeks and months.

Giving the admiral ability to shut bottomward the Internet in the accident of a blackmail is article that is aberrant in America. As of now, it is not alike assertive that advancing American networks would be a applicable advantage for best countries. The safeguards that we accept in abode accept been activated be alike the best accomplished hackers.

Jay Shafer and the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company

Jay built his first small house (for himself) in the early ’90s and has been living small ever since. He founded the company in the mid ’90?s because people were expressing real interest in his small house. It seems that other people wanted to live simpler, cheaper and smaller – the Tumbleweed way too.

In one text, Amanda Logue said she wanted to have sex with Andrews after they killed Dennis (Scooter) Abrahamsen at his Tampa-area home, police said.

“I’m so glad you’re really commited to this take. Keep eyes for a knife, etc for me!” Jason Andrews texted shortly before the murder, police said.

A grand jury indicted the two on first-degree murder charges.

The couple spent April and May in Florida starring in porn videos and hanging out at the beach, according to their Twitter accounts.

Amanda Logue spent the night before the murder at a party at Abrahamsen’s house, where she was allegedly hired to have sex on camera, while Jason Andrews waited outside the house in his car.

“Just get him on his face either bash or tell me to get in and. Where to go.” Jason Andrews wrote in one text.

Amanda Logue replied, “I’m horny,” and Jason Andrews told her to take her time.

Nearly a day later, Abrahamsen was found dead on a massage table in a room with blood-splattered walls.

Amanda Logue and Jason Andrews also stole $6,000 from Abrahamsen police said.

Jason Andrews and Amanda Logue were arrested on May 18 as they tried to use Abrahamsen’s credit card, but police didn’t have enough evidence to connect them to the murder.

Scared, the couple went their separate ways until their arrests in different states this week.

According to an affidavit, Amanda Logue denied she was involved in the killing, and told police Jason Andrews did it and made her “view Abrahamsen’s crushed skull and told her that’s what would happen to her if she told anyone.”

Amanda Logue is being held without bail at a Florida county jail. Jason Andrews was arrested in Chattanooga, Tenn., and will stay there until he can be extradited.

In preparation for the annual Vectren Dayton Air Show, Chantelle Rose was selected to fly with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

Rose said she’s attended the air show for several years and decided to send organizers a quick note to see if it was possible to tag along on a flight. They told her to apply for a new program where she could serve as a “Key Influencer”.

The term refers to individuals who can help shape the attitude of young people in their communities.

Rose told our partners at the Springfield News Sun that her favorite part of the trip was the takeoff, which lasted only about two seconds. The pilot also took her cloud surfing, which she described as the plane following the outline of the clouds at high speed.

Last year, Rose was one of only seven teachers nationwide who participated in the Teachers in Space program. Eventually, she will take a half-hour flight into space. The program is part of the Space Frontier Foundation and the United States Rocket Academy.

As part of the program, Rose has trained for a space flight in a program that took place in the Mojave Desert in California.

The 2010 Vectren Dayton Air Show will be held tomorrow and Sunday at the Dayton International Airport.

A preview of the annual event, schedules for Saturday and Sunday, ticket pricing, and directions to the airport are available on page 8 of the “GO!” section in today’s Dayton Daily News.

Why did other news websites miss this? Because the vast majority don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to the generation of news on the Internet. Keep reading for a look into how the Internet is really influenced.

From the looks of the videos below, Kerligirl13 has been on a video chat that is common for teens is the 21st Century. Specifically creative use of the latest Internet technology but for the development of hurtfully interactive exchanges. In this case, so damaging that Jessi Slaughter went and told her father, who then came into the room as she was making a video to tell the kids bothering her to stop.

Apparently, it all started with the video below that Jessi Slaughter made – which was done in response to comments she apparently got in a live video chat using Stickcam, an online live video chat system – and awful comments she got in response to them.

As a warning, the video contains language you and I would not expect to hear from a young girl (unless you’re an educator), but here it is and in it a study in the root causes of the decline of civility in American society, where rudeness is in some parts of the country, all too common:

CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! “Changes” [Jessi Slaughter aka kerligirl13] Video

What shocks me is her statement that she would “pop a Glock in your mouth and make your brain a slushie” – which means she would use a gun against someone and to their brain – and forms her hand into a gun that she’s “shooting.”

I looked up the term Jessi Slaughter used – “pop a Glock in your mouth and make your brain a slushie” using Google and found 2,780 results using the exact same term that she used but only because Jessi’s Internet blasts have been the talk of some web forums as of this writing. Where Jessi learned that saying is from hip hop pop culture, where “pop a glock” or “pop the glock” is said so often, there’s even a song of the same name.

The artist Uffie’s song “Pop The Glock” has these lines:

i got a loaded bodygaurd dont make him pull out the glock and pop

And

pop the glock,pop the glock, pop the glock, pop the glock, pop the glock pop

the glock pop the glock, the glock you pop

sound like twista, fast as hell

i rock this beat you know damn well

So when you consider how often the term’s said and the popularity of such songs with young teens and in this case, even young girls, Jessi’s comment becomes less surprising. But it’s still very disturbing.

It explains the Internet culture we’ve allowed to form before us, and, I argue, oozes into American society beyond the web. It’s gone unchecked under a wave of families without two parents or parents so busy they don’t take time to manage their kids.

The fact that Jessi Slaughter’s father breaks in during her second video below and issues a stern warning is evidence that there’s something wrong:

After what’s now called the “muh breakdown video” was posted, another YouTuber who was apparently part of the Internet interactions using Stickcam that led to the production of Jessi Slaughter’s two videos above, made the video below. This video is a screenshot of a then-new Stickcam exchange between Jessi Slaughter and her Internet contacts. The view shared is that Jessi Slaughter is, as one viewer put it…

She’s just trolling for attention. She invited folks to join the chat via Twitter, and just hours AFTER her breakdown video. Her parents really should get a clue OR get a visit from CPS.

“CPS” is Child Protective Services.

This is the video one hour after the “blast” video. It’s graphic in speech:

It’s obvious that Jessi Slaughter’s actions – not just the YouTube videos, but the use of Twitter, and Stickcam – have gotten her far more than the common level of attention. Her “muh breakdown video” has been repeatedly copied on YouTube channel after YouTube channel (not mine).

It’s hard to tell who started the post “jessi slaughter given pcp by her father” that led to the term dominating Google Trends results, but from my poking around, it appears the first forum post was at Jumptags.com, a very effective social bookmarking service.

Then the title, and Jessi Slaughter’s explosive videos, including the one with her father, caused repeat after repeat of the “jumptag” and more blogs and videos with the same title. Soon, searches for the term gave demand for the content containing the title and the result was a top ranked search on Google Trends…

Where it still sits as the #1 Google Trend as of 10:50 PM, PDT.

Now, everyone knows who Jessi Slaughter is and what her dad looks like, as someone posted a video with his face on it – and that I will not post here – that has been repeated, even as it’s removed.

I feel sorry for him and for his little girl. I know others will not, but I do. Internet technology consists of the most powerful set of communications tools yet developed in history. This is why I call it “social broadcasting” and not “social networking.” Using them without knowledge of the consequences either emotionally, spiritually, or legally is unwise, yet done every day.

Now, Jessi Slaughter’s become a limited purpose public figure. The best action to counter her status is to keep her offline for about a year (seriously) and let the chatter die down.

The videos were apparently made during the day; Jessi’s parents should find something more constructive for their daughter to do during the Summer.

Hopefully enough people see this story and take steps to manage what their kids do online.

Stay tuned.

The center of the quake was about 20 miles northwest of Washington, the USGS said.

The earthquake was the largest in the area since 1974 — and the first registering above 3.0 on the Richter scale there in that time period, said Amy Vaughan, a geophysicist at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center.

“This is a significant event for the region,” she said.

About an hour after the quake, Vaughan said more than 5,500 people had reported feeling it across Maryland, in nearby Washington, and in states including West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware.

“It was really loud, like a plane flying really low. I had never felt anything like it,” said Anne Ngunjiri, 30, of Gaithersburg. “I was jolted out of bed. All my neighbors woke up. After it passed, I thought it could be an earthquake, and lay in bed hoping there were no aftershocks.”

Judy Rudolph, 64, said she was writing e-mails in bed in Rockville, Maryland, when her house started to shake.

“My first reaction was the noise…. I thought it was an explosion,” she said.

She said she’d never felt anything like it in her 31 years living there.

Until Friday, the largest earthquake recorded within a 75-kilometer (about 47 miles) radius of Gaithersberg since 1974 was a 2.7-magnitude quake in 1993, Vaughan said.

But geologically speaking, she said it was “not completely unexpected” for a 3.6-magnitude quake to hit there.

“Occasionally these things do happen even east of the Rockies, even though it’s not really on a plate boundary where we expect earthquakes… Faults do exist from when the continent was forming. There are small faults that do exist within this area,” she said.

Vaughan said major structural damage was unlikely, but people may experience aftershocks for the next day, or even a week or two after the quake.

Washington’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency said no injuries or property damage had been reported.

The last earthquake in Maryland occurred on October 8, 2007, according to the USGS website. It was a 1.7-magnitude quake about 5 miles northwest of Baltimore.

George Steinbrenner had a heart attack, was taken to a hospital, and died at about 6:30 a.m., The Associated Press and other media outlets reported.

“He was an incredible and charitable man,” the family said in a statement.

“He was a visionary and a giant in the world of sports. He took a great but struggling franchise and turned it into a champion again.”

George Steinbrenner’s death came nine months after the Yankees won their first World Series title since 2000, clinching their six-game victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at his new Yankee Stadium, and two days after the team’s longtime public-address announcer Bob Sheppard died at age 99.

George Steinbrenner had been in failing health for the past several years and rarely appeared in public. George Steinbrenner attended the opening game at the new stadium in April 2009, sitting in his suite with his wife, Joan (pronounced Jo-ann). When he was introduced and received an ovation, his shoulders shook and he cried.

Aimee L. Sword, 36, of Waterford, apologized at her sentencing on Monday in Oakland County Circuit Court on Monday. The former Macy’s makeup clerk could face up to 30 years in jail.

Sword tracked her teenage son, who is now 16, on Facebook in 2008 after she didn’t receive an annual update from the boy’s adoptive family in Grand Rapids.

“When she saw this boy, something just touched off in her—and it wasn’t a mother-son relationship, it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship,” Sword’s attorney, Mitchell Ribitwer, said to the newspaper.

Sword said she only has sex with her son once. But authorities said there were several incidents, including at a Grand Rapids hotel and at her home.

At the time, Sword was married and lived with her husband and five children who ranged from toddlers to teens.

The boy’s adoptive parents—not knowing about any sexual misconduct– gave him permission to stay with Sword. He later alerted a counselor to the incident.

“Aimee’s searching for a reason why this happened. She can’t understand it,” Ribitwer said.
