The singer's third studio album, it was met with mixed reviews. Entertainment Weekly said the melodies sounded a "tad familiar," while Rolling Stone criticized the lyrics for being "made up entirely of pop and soul clichés." The New York Times awarded "Box" a favorable review, saying it has "an even sharper focus than Ms. Carey's previous two best-selling albums." "Music Box" debuted at No. 2 and remained among Billboard's Top 10 albums for 31 weeks. Read More... More on Mariah Carey

Huffington Post: India Gang Rape Conviction Angers Many As Delhi Teen Sentenced To 3 Years In Juvenile Detention Posted: 31 Aug 2013 08:24 AM PDT By Annie Banerji and Suchitra Mohanty NEW DELHI, Aug 31 (Reuters) - An Indian teenager was sentenced to three years in juvenile detention on Saturday for the December gang rape of a trainee physiotherapist, the first verdict in a case that sparked debate over whether India is too soft on young offenders. Police say the 18-year-old and five adult men lured the 23-year-old woman and her male friend onto a New Delhi bus where they repeatedly raped her and beat them both with a metal bar before dumping them on to a road. The woman died in a Singapore hospital two weeks after the Dec. 16 attack. The case turned a global spotlight on the treatment of women in India, where police say a rape is reported every 20 minutes. "The juvenile has been found guilty under rape and murder charges, and accordingly sentenced to three years of jail," Rajesh Tiwari, a lawyer for the juvenile, told reporters. The lawyer said the juvenile would be sent to a reform home to serve the term, taking into account the months he has already spent in detention since his arrest. Four of the teenager's co-accused are still on trial and face the death penalty if convicted. Closing arguments began on Aug. 22 and verdicts are expected within the next fortnight. A fifth accused, the alleged ring-leader, killed himself in his jail cell in March. The teenager, who may not be named, was tried as a juvenile as he was 17 at the time of the attack. The maximum penalty that could be imposed by the Juvenile Justice Board was three years. In January, authorities ruled he was 17, citing school records, which shocked the victim's family and others clamouring for him to face the death penalty. "You may as well set the juvenile free, if the sentence is only three years for heinous offences like rape and murder," said the victim's mother who was in tears after the verdict. The mother also said she would appeal against the verdict in a higher court. "I am not happy with this judgment. At least in this case, the juvenile should have been sentenced to life," the victim's brother told Reuters. In response to the public outcry after the rape, the government fast-tracked tougher laws against sex crimes, but it resisted calls to change the juvenile law and return the adult age to 16 from 18. SUPREME COURT PETITION India's Supreme Court is currently hearing a petition filed by Subramanian Swamy, an opposition politician and lawyer, that calls for the law to be reinterpreted rather than changed. Swamy wants a minor offender's "emotional, intellectual and mental maturity" to be assessed when deciding whether to try them as a juvenile, rather than basing the decision on age alone. "I felt that, with the kind of rape that took place, if (the juvenile suspect) got off lightly it would send a bad signal to society," Swamy told Reuters. He plans to launch an appeal against the verdict reached on Saturday if the Supreme Court rules in favour of his petition later this year. The teenager pleaded not guilty to all 13 charges including rape, murder and robbery. His trial was held behind closed doors to protect his identity and media were barred from reporting on any details of the proceedings. During his trial, he has been held at a juvenile detention facility for violent young offenders in Delhi and kept away from other inmates for his safety. The youth left home when he was 11 and got work in a roadside eatery, his mother told Reuters in January. In recent years he lived as a semi-vagrant, washing buses and collecting fares, according to a police report. After leaving home, he never returned and his mother said she thought he was dead until police arrested him in connection with the gang rape. Some 33,000 crimes were committed by juveniles in India last year, the highest number in a decade, but there has not been a large spike, according to Home Ministry figures. Juveniles commit a tiny proportion of total crimes in India and far less than other nations such as the United States.

Huffington Post: Big Sean Gives Back to Hometown Detroit, Hands Out School Supplies To Students (PHOTOS) Posted: 30 Aug 2013 08:46 AM PDT DETROIT -- Girls screamed and shouted his name, their foreheads pressed against the glass. Tears streamed down their faces, and some were too overwhelmed to speak. A few teens maneuvered past the rapper's handlers, wrapped their arms around him and smiled for photos. "You helped me through my breakup!" one told him. It wasn't surprising that Kanye West protégé and rising star Big Sean inspired this much excitement in Detroit, his hometown. But the location was a bit out of the ordinary -- as he made press rounds for his new album, "Hall of Fame," he spent a good chunk of Thursday afternoon handing out backpacks to kids in a building normally used as a farmers market. A couple thousand students crowded Detroit Public Schools' back-to-school fair in Eastern Market, where they could learn about careers, play educational games, do science experiments and receive supplies. Organized by the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, new MBA students had just three days after arriving for their first semester to plan the event. Read More...

Huffington Post: Shouting Disrupts Vigil For Murdered Transgender Woman Islan Nettles Posted: 28 Aug 2013 03:02 PM PDT NEW YORK -- On Tuesday night, hundreds turned out for a vigil in honor of Islan Nettles, a 21-year-old transgender woman who died after an attack just blocks from the park where family, friends and LGBT advocates gathered in her memory. Nettles, who was pursuing a career in fashion, was walking Aug. 17 with a transgender friend when they encountered several men who shouted transphobic and homophobic slurs, and beat them. Nettles died in the hospital several days later. The police are currently investigating the case as a hate crime, according to The New York Times. Before the vigil, old friends met up and gathered before the stage. Some knew Nettles personally, but many others were there because they felt as though they knew her. Tamara Williams, a 24-year old transgender woman with long braids, said she'd never met Nettles, but they were "in the same scene." Read More... More on Civil Rights
