This is where poking leads: A judge has convicted an Arkansas woman of harassment and fined her $435 after she locked her estranged 17-year-old son out of his Facebook account and posted her own comments on his wall.

  • Be sure to wear some flowers in your dreads: If you’re looking for entertainment over the Memorial Day weekend check out the Northwest Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center, offering music, dance and other cultural delights from around the world.

    It’s a shame, because the fence totally blocks her view of Russia.
