Provided Britney Spears can keep herself out of jail or rehab, she’ll be able to take some satisfaction in pulling off a big comeback with “Blackout.” Spears’s first new album since 2003’s “In The Zone” attempts to put aside recent troubles and defiantly declare that none of it matters. While “In The Zone” was a statement of independence from her handlers and the constraints of teen pop, “Blackout” confronts listeners...
...revolting and disturbing, so naturally, I couldn’t tear myself away. It wasn’t until the motion-activated lights in the stacks went off, leaving me reading about devil worship in a subterranean blackout that I panicked. Grabbing my belongings, I booked it up the stairs, too terrified to wait for the elevator. As I burst back onto the main floor, panting and sweating, I thanked God I was alive and not being forced to drink blood of small woodland creatures.

What's more, the August 31 surveys showed that neither of the two major parties...
...Dutch team found little about the NDErs that distinguished them as a group from those for whom clinical death was a blackout. Factors such as psychological profile, medications, religion and previous knowledge about NDEs all appeared to be irrelevant. To this day, Van Lommel can't explain why some people have NDEs and most don't. But the fact the experience isn't universal undermines, to his mind, a purely physiological explanation: if lack of oxygen were the cause of NDEs, then all survivors of cardiac arrest should have...
