Rest in peace, Michael Jackson
A week ago today, the world lost one of its most precious treasures. Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer to ever walk the earth, died tragically from cardiac arrest. While much of the media coverage has focused on the most salacious aspects of his life, Jackson has undoubtedly left a legacy that is bigger, broader and brighter than the words of his detractors.

MIT student in Logan ‘hoax’ settles in court

BOSTON. The MIT student who was arrested last fall at Logan Airport when she wore a makeshift circuit board attached to her sweatshirt settled her case in East Boston District Court yesterday.

Star Simpson, 20, of Lahaina, Hawaii, received a year of pre-trial probation on a charge of disorderly conduct, and was ordered to perform 50 hours of community service and write a letter of apology.

If and when Simpson meets those conditions and does not commit a crime, her charge will be dismissed.

Simpson was arrested at Logan on Sept. 21, when she went to the airport to pick up her boyfriend sporting a black sweatshirt with a white circuit board with nine flashing lights affixed to it. She also held Play-Doh in her hands, creating what Massachusetts State Police believed to be a security threat.
