In Memorial Of… Gil Scott Heron
R.I.P. to a legend and an inspiration to us all
Gil Scott-Heron died Friday afternoon in New York, his book publisher reported. He was 62. The influential poet and musician is often credited with being one of the progenitors of hip-hop, and is best known for the spoken-word piece “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.”
Gil Scott Heron – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Scott-Heron was born in Chicago in 1949. He spent his early years in Jackson, Tenn., attended high school in The Bronx, and spent time at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln University before settling in Manhattan. His recording career began in 1970 with the album Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, which featured the first version of “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” The track has since been referenced and parodied extensively in pop culture.

Scott-Heron continued to record through the 1970s and early ’80s, before taking a lengthy hiatus. He briefly returned to the studio for 1994′s Spirits. That album featured the track “Message to the Messengers,” in which Scott-Heron cautions the hip-hop generation that arose in his absence to use its newfound power responsibly. He has been cited as a key influence by many in the hip-hop community — such as rapper-producer Kanye West, who closed his platinum-selling 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with a track built around a sample of Scott-Heron’s voice.

Scott-Heron struggled publicly with substance abuse in the 2000s, and spent the early part of the decade in and out of jail on drug possession charges. He began performing again after his release in 2007, and in 2010 released a new album, I’m New Here, to widespread critical acclaim.

U.S. Senate Advances Extension of Patriot Act Wiretap Power
The U.S. Senate voted to advance a four-year extension of provisions of the USA Patriot Act allowing law enforcement to track suspected terrorists with roving wiretaps.
The Senate voted 79-18 to move toward a final vote on the provisions, now scheduled to expire at midnight. They would be extended until June 1, 2015.
The bill’s roving-wiretap section allows federal agents to obtain a single warrant to monitor phone calls of suspects using a series of mobile phones.
Other powers in the legislation let authorities obtain business and library records, and target so-called “lone wolf” suspects who aren’t affiliated with any terrorist group.
The Patriot Act was passed after the Sept. 11 attacks, and many of its provisions are permanent law. Some of its surveillance powers have been opposed by some lawmakers and outside groups, including civil liberties activists.
Both chambers approved a three-month extension in February.

Piscataway Girl, 15, Chooses Harvard Out Of 13 Colleges
Saheela Ibraheema wasn’t sure any college would want to admit a 15-year-old. So the Piscataway teen hedged her bets and filled out applications to 14 schools from New Jersey to California.
“It’s the age thing. I wanted to make sure I had options,” said Saheela, a senior at the Wardlaw-Hartridge School in Edison.
In the end, 13 colleges accepted her – including six of the eight Ivy League schools. After weeks of debate, Saheela settled on Harvard. She will be among the youngest members of the school’s freshman class.
“I’ll be one of the youngest. But I won’t be the youngest,” the soon-to-be 16-year-old said.
Saheela is among the millions of high school seniors who had to finalize their college decisions by Monday, the deadline for incoming freshman to send deposits to the school of their choice. Nationwide, this year’s college selection process was among the most competitive in history as most top colleges received a record number of applications.
Saheela joins a growing number of New Jersey students going to college before they are old enough to drive. Last year, Kyle Loh of Mendham graduated from Rutgers at 16. In previous (more…)

Google Was Warned About Illegal Drug Ads In 2003
Pharmacy industry groups warned Google years ago that it should be doing a better job screening ads from online pharmacies that break U.S. laws.
But Google didn’t respond to their warnings, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Earlier this month, an SEC filing revealed that Google had quietly put aside $500 million during the first quarter to prepare for a possible fine from a Department of Justice investigation. Later, the Journal reported that the investigation was related to Google’s practice of accepting ads from online pharmacies who shipped drugs without requiring a prescription, sold controlled substances, and shipped counterfeit drugs.
Today, the Journal published a 2003 letter from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) asking Google to take ads only from pharmacies that Google verified (more…)
