The Observer interview
Waits speaks about his life and his music from near his hometown of Santa Rosa, California.
I used to think that all great recordings happened at about 3am. So my first studio experiences, I wanted to be recording after the bars closed. I just thought that’s when it all happened. And it worked for me for a while, I guess. But I don’t believe that so much any more. I realise now there’s more than one way to sneak up on a herd of cattle.
Coroner: ‘alcohol toxicity’
A London coroner rules Winehouse’s death cause by alcohol overdose. Despite noting that:
[Winehouse was an] intelligent, determined young woman who, at times, was able to successful abstain from alcohol.
she ruled that her death was “death by misadventure,” and noted that the inquest said Winehouse was more than five times over the legal limit, and that two large bottles and one small bottle of vodka were found in the bedroom of her London home. Winehouse’s parents were in the court to hear the verdict.
Divorce announcement
Kardashian releases a public announcement about her divorce from Kris Humphries after 72 days of marriage.
After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.
Switches adoption from DRC to Haiti
Michaels receives an adoption referral for a girl in Haiti. After completing her dossier for the Democratic Republic of Congo, Michaels was worried that the Congo would not work out and started a second adoption in Haiti.
So now, it’s just a matter of trying to get her home and anything can happen and fall through or fall apart, so it’s kind of premature for me to say it, but that’s where it’s at. So if it falls apart, you’ll know why I’m like, devastated and not coming out of my house for months.

More humane animal treatment
Wendy’s starts treating chickens and pigs used for food more humanely. Their chicken supplier, O.K. Foods Inc., has begun using a low-atmospheric pressure system, which leaves chickens unconscious before being handled by plant workers. Wendy’s is the first quick-service restaurant chain to back this method. Chickens were previously electrified. Wendy’s is also working with pork producers to eliminate gestation pens and tight crates.
We’ve studied the LAPS system and agree that it’s a major improvement to industry practices. We encourage all chicken producers to embrace this practice.

TNA Hall of Fame
Sting is announced as an inaugural inductee to TNA Hall of Fame. Video chronicling Sting’s TNA career is shown.
Last year when I was inducted I had no idea that it was going to be me. I was an active wrestler. (I wondered why) they didn’t go with the Jeff Jarretts of the world. If they’re going to use an active guy, why not AJ? He’s been with the company since the beginning. I took it as an indication that they thought I was done. But it was a night that I will never forget, and it was awesome.
Announce possible Higgs-Boson
Scientists from CERN projects ATLAS and CMS announce that they may have found the long sought after Higgs boson. Preliminary results reveal a particle in the predicted size-range (125-126 GeV) of the hypothetical Higgs boson. In this graph of the two-photon decay experiment, the smooth curve corresponds to known background processes. There is a deviation at the predicted size range of the Higgs boson. The probability of such a deviation occurring without the Higgs boson existing is “three chances in a million”.
We stated last year that in 2012 we would either find a new Higgs-like particle or exclude the existence of the Standard Model Higgs. With all the necessary caution, it looks to me that we are at a branching point: the observation of this new particle indicates the path for the future towards a more detailed understanding of what we’re seeing in the data.” said CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci

Announces PoP Water
Carter and photographer Richardson announce PopWater, a drink that will be marketed as a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks – an 11.2 oz can will contain 30 calories and 7 grams of sugar. Initial flavors will include apple, orange, pineapple and grape. Richardson will be the brand’s creative director. The product will launch early 2103 in California. Carter says the idea for Pop Water resulted from the various conversations with the big cola producers’ music initiatives.
We noticed none of the brands had music in their DNA. We felt we could build something with relevance to music and pop culture if we built something from scratch. Whether it’s flying to Kentucky with food scientists or flying around the world sourcing the packaging, the last two years has been an education for us in the beverage space…We’re talking to a bunch of music and pop culture icons who’ve tasted the beverage. We’re gonna have a lot of support behind this…The idea is not to be just an endorsement but to be a part of people’s lives. Endorsements, where they’re just one-offs feels like the artists just got a check for it. For us, we set out to make something that’s a lot healthier than what’s in the market. It’s really hard to get 30 calories to taste good.
Rep dismisses ‘Transformers 4’ rumor
LaBeouf’s rep dismisses rumors that the actor’s involvement with the fourth Transformers film is dependent on how much money it will make him.
The story is a complete fabrication. While Shia remains very close with the filmmakers/studio, he was never attached to the fourth installment (nor is he in negotiations at this time). Salary did not impact his decision.
Broadway debut announced
The young actor’s Broadway debut is announced, where he will appear alongside Alec Baldwin in the upcoming revival of the play Orphans, a drama about two brothers who kidnap a wealthy old man. LaBeouf will play the eldest brother who takes care of his weaker sibling in a house in Philadelphia. The play is scheduled to open April 7th.
