The rumor that CalArts will buy the Crystal Cathedral and convert it into luminous loft space is credible and from art source's at the highest level. The structure will house a new campus and a honeycomb of lofts will be built inside the cathedral.
CalArts highly regarded Homeopathic College will move to new buildings to be built in what are now parking lots around the cathedral.

The Pool Boys of Jalalabad
There are many swimming pools in Jalalabad. Drug lords and Taliban technocrats have pools in their backyards. Summers in Jalalabad are hot. Pool cleaning is a lucrative business – if it were only cleaning pools!
The pool boys of Jalalabad work for the rival intelligence services – ISI, CIA, Afghani, etc. All of the parties involved know that the pool boys work for rival intelligence services. Indeed, they are all at least double agents and promiscuous. The promiscuity is tolerated because of enthusiastic participation (evidence) and none of the parties wanting to disturb the complicated alliances. Maybe their pool boy will come through.
On their off hours the pool boys hang out at the Khyber Pass Internet Café. They all know each other and socialize in a version of the Great Game.
How do I know this? I’ve learned (let’s say indirectly) about the pool boys from a Pakistani Leaf Blower salesman.

Mindy Kardashian
Mindy Kardashian, the Kardashian matriarch, passed away yesterday in her sleep. She had been in declining health for several years.
Beloved by the extended Kardashian family, Mindy was loved by all including her grand children. Mindy loved to gather the family, whomever was alive at the time, and cook lavish banquets. She had mastered the American cookbook and was known for her unusual entree combinations.
The family would like to having any memorial donations sent to the Betty Crocker Charities.

Khalid Kardashian
Khalid Kardashian died yesterday after falling from scaffolding. He was pronounced dead at the site.

Cher Kardashian
Once again we are sad to report the death of another Kardashian family member, Cher Kardashian. It is most unfortunate that Cher and Paris, cousins and best of friends, should die within weeks of one another.
Cher attended the same trade school with Paris. Cher studied building maintenance for two semesters then took a job as a factory rep for Glidden Paint. She was often seen at Home Depot checking display and inventory. She was very popular with the paint departments of her district.
Dogs were a big part of Cher's life. She worked with Paris to breed a gentler bull terrier. They had approached Michael Vick about endorsing their breed. Their breed was able to remain in the sit position in the presence of kittens, chickens, squirrels and gerbils. Sadly, the breeding project is in limbo.
