Dunwoody shooter says 'angels' told him to kill
Last night, the White House was transformed into a performance hall for the Red, White and Blues concert celebrating Black History Month. Obama joined in on the jam sesh, taking the mic from an insistent Jagger to croon along to ?Sweet Home Chicago.?
The President sang out the line ?come on, baby don?t you want to go,? twice, handing the microphone back to B.B. King in-between. But when King didn?t take it back, Obama finished with a shout-out to his hometown.
The last time we were treated to a singing Obama was when he belted out a bit of Al Green?s classic ?Let?s Stay Together? at a fundraiser in New York?s Apollo Theater. The singing might have created a precedent. Buddy Guy reportedly got Obama crooning last night by mentioning the Al Green sing-along. ?You gotta keep it up,? he told the president.
Story: Who sings it better: Al Green or Obama?Considering all the politicians making music lately ? from Obama to Romney ? we wonder: Who'd win the ultimate sing-off? The president, the Republican candidates, or you? Vote!

World News - Testing for terror: Preparing for the unthinkable at ...
With less than 6 months until the London Olympics, British police, fire and ambulances tested their abilitity to deal with a terrorist attack during the games. NBC's Duncan Golestani reports.
By F. Brinley Bruton, msnbc.com
LONDON -- The bells of St Clement Danes Church on The Strand chimed on the hour at 10 a.m.? Gray clouds hung low over traffic-filled streets and the cold chilled to the bone.
So a pretty typical February day in central London.
It became untypical at around 11, after two young men walked out of nearby Aldwych underground, or subway, station.? A few minutes later, a public announcement instructed everybody to leave the building. The trickle of commuters leaving the station became a torrent.? Some of them were irate, demanding an explanation from subway workers and police.? Others held their heads or limbs, seemingly wounded and in shock.
Sirens screamed and a helicopter hovered above.? Police vans, ambulances, fire trucks and a large green tent for the wounded clogged the narrow lane outside the station.? Dozens of first responders -- fire fighters in helmets and black-and-yellow outfits, ambulance workers, police officers and delighted-looking bomb-sniffing dogs -- milled around on the street.
The bad news: Word was that an explosive device had partially detonated deep in the Tube.
The good news: It was all part of a two-day drill on Wednesday called Operation Forward Defensive involving thousands of emergency personnel and volunteers.
Dozens of journalists and officials were observing an exercise of how emergency services, London City Hall, transport officials, Olympic organizers, the government and counter-terrorism units would react to a terrorist attack during this summer's games. According to the scenario, there had been an "incident" in Oxford Street Station, a major transport artery, on August 8, 2012, judged to be one of the busiest days during the Olympics.

Police and fire officers gather during an exercise to test emergency services' readiness for a terror attack at the disused Aldwych underground station on Wednesday.
"We are preparing on the basis of a severe level of threat that is higher than our current threat level," James Brokenshire, a government minister for security, told NBC News on Monday.
While authorities emphasized that security drills happen all the time, the Olympics doesn't happen all the time.? The eyes of the world will be on London this summer: The city's population is expected to balloon by almost one million and an estimated four billion globally are expected to watch the games on television.
Al-Qaida to Occupy: UK preps Olympics security
Partly because al-Qaida and related jihadi groups, right-wing extremists and Northern Irish militants are all thought to be a threat, the games will see the U.K.'s largest peacetime security operation involving tens of thousands of security officials.?
The issue of security is particularly relevant to Olympics organizers. The decision to award the 2012 games to London was announced on July 6, 2005.? The following morning, the city suffered its worst peacetime attack when four suicide bombers killed 52 commuters, many of them on the subway.
A constant refrain among the phalanx of officials at the drill on Wednesday was improved communications, seen as one of the failings in the response to 7/7, as the July, 2005, attacks are known.
Police, fire and ambulance vehicles line the road during an emergency services exercise at the disused Aldwych underground station on Wednesday.
"We are testing our coordination in working with other agencies," said Nicola Watson of the British Transport Police.? "We are testing the communications systems on the underground service, we are testing our command and control in conjunction with the other organizations, and also we are testing the investigation into an incident t such as this."
So a major improvement has been the deployment of a digital radio system that allows first-responders to communicate more effectively and when in subway.
But the drill was a confidence-building exercise as well.
"It's ... about showing that London is ready, and demonstrate it to the world, because a world event is coming to London in a few months," David Whiting of the London Fire Brigade said.

One person whose confidence apparently had been boosted by the drill was London mayor Boris Johnson.
"I want (everybody) to know that London's underground system is the safest in Europe," he said.? "It's never been so safe."?

Kim Kardashian To Be Sued for QuickTrim Endorsement?
Kim and Khloe Kardashian might need to pay up for selling out.
The sisters could soon be the subjects of a class action lawsuit due to their endorsement of QuickTrim, the non-FDA-approved weight loss supplement Kim and Khloe have been hawking since 2009.
Law firm Bursor & Fisher tells The New York Post it is preparing to file on behalf of a client because QuickTrim reportedly contains a high level of caffeine, an ingredient which is not an effective means for shedding unwanted pounds.
“My firm has been retained by an individual that purchased QuickTrim, and we are investigating the matter," a partner with the company tells the newspaper. "We have provided written notice of our client’s claims to the company and others involved in marketing QuickTrim."
The firm has sent an email to QuickTrim users asking if they want to join the suit and saying: “The active ingredient in QuickTrim weight loss products is a large dose of caffeine... The FDA has determined that caffeine is not safe or effective for weight loss.”
As much as we'd love to see Kim suffer for attaching her name to any product that comes calling, let's be honest:
If you actually purchased a cleanse based on Kim Kardashian saying she uses it, you deserve to stay up all night, wondering where you went wrong in life.
