...your one-stop shop for all of your summer needs. After a series of meandering electronic albums for backpack rap label Mush, British producer Stephen Wilkinson, aka Bibio, has taken a turn towards the pop. And despite corralling sounds ranging from Brazilian street music to trip-hop to Jose Gonzalez folk, Bibio has put out a colorful and surprisingly cohesive album, one of this summer’s best. For a producer whose output has mostly focused on heavy, introspective beats, the ease with which Wilkinson creates slower, warmer melodies is impressive. While the found sound production aesthetic...
...Jersey Hacker Caught Albert Gonzalez, a 28-year-old hacker, was indicted on Aug. 17, along with two Russian co-conspirators, in what is believed to be the largest retail-store theft in U.S. history. Gonzalez, who had been arrested on similar charges before, allegedly cracked the databases of 7-Eleven, two other retail chains and a New Jersey--based credit-card-processing company to steal some 130 million credit-card numbers...

She likens Mississippi officials to those who fought to keep 6-year-old Elián Gonzalez in the U.S. nine years ago because they argued his life would be better here than in impoverished Cuba with his father.

Florida has a knack for turning family dysfunction into national spectacle. Ten years ago it gave us the Elian Gonzalez mess; five years later came the Terri Schiavo debacle. Now we have a new domestic dispute that threatens to become another culture-war circus, complete with a clash-of-religions angle to boot: the battle for Rifqa Bary, a 17-year-old girl from Columbus, Ohio, who ran away to an Evangelical church in Orlando, Fla., because, she claims, her Sri Lankan Muslim family has threatened to kill her for recently converting to Christianity...
...have to pursue them. You can't have that kind of collective element operating in your community if it's true." Many Pensacola residents - including journalist Rick Outzen, who first broke the murder-for-hire story on his blog last month - now agree with him. Meanwhile, another friend whom Gonzalez tried unsuccessfully to recruit for the July 9 robbery told police the alleged killer "always acts like he's a thug, you know, a mafia wannabe." But unfortunately, there may be a tragic element of truth to this Wannabe's big game...
