K-Pop is more ideologically empty than a Nirvana t-shirt
by Alex Mazey
K-Pop is Ziggy Stardust for the young millennial. It's the backstreet boys made bilingual with bigger production budgets than a Michael Bay film. Boasting catchy hooks and more international appeal than Coca-Cola, it's the audiovisual of the 21st century. A blend of east meets west in an orgy of androgynous aesthetics and electro, soundscape breakdowns – the rare concoction of funky dance pop and sweeping, scene kid fringes.
I sat down last night with an iPad, a handful of K-Pop recommendations, and a deep sense of dread in my stomach. Tonight there wasn't any authentic, scratching vinyl or Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison. This wouldn't be my usual offering of 'Musique de Film Imaginé.' This was K-Pop, unadulterated music from the tinny sounds of an iPad; a post-modern experimentation in sound and genre, the pop lyrical Four Tet gone visual kei. The pop stylists of Lady Gaga let loose with more glitter than a primary school with an arts council fund.
Easier to decipher than Iggy Azalea; K-Pop lyrics are equally as transient – but then lyrics never mattered in pop music anyway – it was never about being Ars Poetica. It was about being a fashionista of the highest order, dressing like the playable characters from a Tekken Tag Tournament.
Watching the video for 'CROOKED', I noticed G-Dragon was a kind of Korean George Michael rendered ethereal and alternatively tattooed. Dressed in more feathers than a peacock, he was the commodification of anarchy made corporeal. It was John Lydon gone full circle, more ideologically empty than a Nirvana t-shirt, but perhaps twice as fun. G-Dragon was certainly more culturally impressionist, dare I say, interesting?
Same goes for Big Bang, a Korean super group finding more success than any 90's boy band, with over four million YouTube subscriptions alone. The all-female groups, however, provide the real paradigm shift in the Korean music industry, culturally and musically, with idol groups like Girls' Generation boasting nearly double the subscribers as of 2015, at nearly seven and a half million.
K-Pop is fast becoming a major globalized phenomenon, a South Korean export of the cultural kind. In 2012, TIME magazine described K-pop as "catchy melodies performed by polished dance groups," with everybody "cashing in on the K-pop boom." In the same year, Rolling Stone called K-Pop "a calculated, colorful, choreographed affair," praising its "crossover potential" and ability to "break language barriers."
Big Bang, Sistar, Girls' Generation, G-Dragon – it's easy to dismiss these guys as bubblegum pop, but this beloved Korean export is continuing to push the boundaries of musical genre and style. In the words of Big Bang, it's "Fantastic Baby!"
These tongue and cheek observations might prove superfluous, but you can't ignore the tuneful compositions of the K-Pop sound. These bands chart the correlation between success and a focus on melody and uncomplicated structure. After all, mainstream doesn't equate to musically devoid, even if we assume it does.

The DOJ Says Homicide Rates Went Up Last Year, But Why?
After nearly two decades of a decrease in murder rates, this expert sees a connection between a rise in homicide rates across the country to both widespread heroin use and something he calls the "Ferguson effect."

In January 2015, protesters staged a 'die-in' to show solidarity with demonstrators in Ferguson and with the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, some experts say a 'Ferguson effect' may have contributed to an increase in the homicide rate in U.S. cities.
After years and years of declines in crime, a sudden rise in rates of homicide. Almost all the major cities of Texas, mirroring a national trend. Of particular note, rates have risen in Houston – which saw a 25 percent increase in homicides in 2015 – as well as Fort Worth and Dallas.
Rick Rosenfeld, professor of criminology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and author of a new report commissioned by the National Institutes of Justice, says 56 cities in the U.S. saw a 17 percent increase, with much of the bump coming from only ten cities.
"We're looking at a very real increase," he says, "and a quite abrupt increase (as well)… One has to go back twenty years or more to find increases of this magnitude in the large cities in the United States."
What you'll hear in this segment:
– What years had seen an increase over the past five decades similar to the increase in 2015
– How the top ten cities, which account for two-thirds of the total increase, differ from the other places on the list
– What the "Ferguson effect" is and how that could produce a rise in homicides
– How drug use, especially the heroin epidemic, could influence homicide rates

Q: IFRAME Height Property Difference Between Safari and Chrome I've been tearing out my hair over this one... Maybe someone can help?
The height of an embedded web app on my site looks as expected on Safari (calculated height as 992px), but in Chrome, the iframe containing the webapp calculates the height as 150px, which is "incorrect".
The height for the IFRAME should be computed using a simple code using Javascript, as referenced elsewhere on StackExchange:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
  function resizeIframe(obj) {
    obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
  }
</script>

<iframe class="embed-blast" src="http://example.com/mywebapp" scrolling="no" onload="resizeIframe(this)" ></iframe>

I've tried using jQuery, and a variety of other scripts, none of which seem to fix the underlying issue.
What I'd like is to size the IFRAME to the full content size (as occurs in Safari already) in Chrome.  I've tried looking for any description of this behavior, but haven't been able to find it.  Not sure if this is a "bug" or expected behavior-- not having much familiarity with JavaScript or IFRAMEs, I'm completely vexed.
Is anyone aware of this issue and a potential workaround?  Many thanks in advance.

FBI Director Wray is testifying today. Here is the basic fact: the FBI leadership is corrupt. Wray has to clean house, or else he will be part of the problem.
My new column, Conservative Dupes in the Russia-gate Probe, sets the record straight about how Rush Limbaugh and Andrew C. McCarthy fell for the line that Russia-gate Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller was an honest man.
Clearly, McCarthy now has egg all over his face. So does Limbaugh. These people have misled millions of conservatives and are responsible for the fact that Mueller is now building a case for impeachment of Trump. They did not blow the whistle on his record of corruption when he was appointed. I did.
I am sorry to say, "I told you so," but I am proud of the work we did at America's Survival, Inc. WE WERE RIGHT FROM THE START.
Please read my column and distribute it to your friends and associates.
My conclusion is that it might be too late for Trump to fire Mueller. I explain where all of this is heading in my column, Conservative Dupes in the Russia-gate Probe.
Another motive [behind the Mueller probe of Trump] is to divert attention away from the other problems in the FBI that we have seen on display in such incidents as the Las Vegas massacre (where the FBI seems to have no clue on motive), left-winger James Hodgkinson's planned massacre of Congressional Republicans (the FBI blamed it on "anger management" problems), and FBI involvement in the attempted assassination of Pamela Geller in Garland, Texas (an FBI undercover agent was among the Jihadists).
The filing also alleged that former FBI Director Jim Comey lied in a "post-attack cover-up" about the bureau's knowledge of how the attack unfolded and what Comey and the bureau knew about what was likely to transpire.
Yes, Trump is right. The FBI's reputation is in tatters. It's actually worse than that.
