You all maybe heard of this artist with hit singles like "Just Dance" featuring Colby O’ Donnis, that catchy tune "Poker Face," "Love Game," and that outrageous musical performance on the recent MTV Video Music Awards singing her latest single "Paparazzi."

But what stunned the crowd and fans wasn't Lady Gaga's music; it's what she wore to that award show September 13 in New York City.

When it comes to Lady Gaga’s wardrobe, “What is she wearing?” must have been a common question. That question could be asked with a good or bad connotation, depending on your point of view.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The phone calls came in the middle of the night. Three women, each receiving an eerie message from the man on the line:
He was in their house and watching them.

And according to caller ID, the calls were coming from their home phones.

The terrified women found out later that the caller was not in their homes, but playing a frightening prank on them.

EDMONDS, Wash. — As a child in Armenia, Henry Gasparian witnessed firsthand the horrors of Nazi Germany. Two uncles were killed, his father wounded and a brother starved to death during the German invasion and occupation of the Soviet Union. So when Gasparian, 70, saw a poster of President Obama with a Hitler mustache near the entrance to the Edmonds Farmers Market Sept. 5, he concedes his reaction was "personal and emotional."

He tried to grab the fliers being passed out by supporters of Lyndon LaRouche, a perennial presidential candidate who has likened Obama's health-care proposals to the Nazi extermination of Jews and other "undesirables."

Oakland’s Fox Theater, the venue newest to the Bay Area concert circuit, played host last Thursday night to the popular New York Indie rock band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The second and final show of the band’s stay in Oakland was visually impressive and musically masterful.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs lined up two opening bands for their gig. The first was the Beijing based band Queen Sea Big Shark, which features a creative hybrid of electronic and surf rock music. Initally the audience was confused by the band’s appearance and style, as they were not featured on the bill, but many people quickly began to enjoy Queen Sea Big Shark’s musical aptitude and uniqueness.

The Board of Education on Tuesday night received a report outlining options for the creation of a Community Day School to serve expelled students currently attending Quest Academy or the Hayward Community School or enrolled in New Haven’s special education program.

At least three previous attempts to create a Community Day School have not been successful, and staff recommended that the District suspend pursuit of a Community Day School to focus on reducing the number of suspensions and expulsions, develop action plans for behavioral and academic interventions and monitor expelled students. The Board asked staff to bring an action item on the recommendation at the Oct. 6 meeting, and staff also will prepare the action plans for interventions and monitoring of expulsions.
