I've decided, on the sage advice of a WHS reader, to join the world of Twitter.  I'll be using it to announce new posts, as well as communicating papers that I find interesting, but either don't have time to blog about or think are too technical for a general audience.  My tag is "whsource".  Head on over to Twitter if you want to follow my tweets.

Justin Bieber: 18th Birthday

Justin Bieber reached driving age two years ago. But only now, as he turns 18, is he getting the car of his dreams.



Celebrating his milestone birthday Thursday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Bieber is presented by his manager with none other than a Fisker Karma - the highly coveted, ultra-exclusive plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan.



"You work really really hard," his manager, Scooter Braun, tells him. "I always yell at you, 'Don't get anything flashy!' You know, we're not about that. Be humble, be humble. And I kind of broke my own rule."



Braun adds: "We wanted to make sure, since you love cars, that when you're on the road you are always environmentally friendly. And we decided to get you a car that would make you stand out … I think you know where I'm going, and you're kind of freaking out right now. That's a Fisker Karma."



Bieber looks shocked as he walks over to the vehicle, the most-wanted car in the world. "That's for me?! That's crazy!" he says.



Leonardo DiCaprio got the very first Fisker Karma ever made, and Al Gore and Colin Powell were among the first people on the waiting list for one.



Bieber also has a gift for fans on Thursday, announcing that his new single, "Boyfriend," will be out March 26.

Taylor Kitsch wondered whether his John Carter director

Taylor Kitsch wondered whether his John Carter director "had a vendetta" against him while filming.



The 30-year-old Canadian-born actor plays the eponymous leading role in the upcoming Andrew Stanton helmed science-fiction action film. John Carter is a legendary comic superhero, created by American author Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912, who battles wars on Mars.



Throughout shooting, Taylor filmed extremely physical scenes under Andrew's direction.



The actor laughed about what a toll the hardcore sequences took on his body.



"There were many times when I personally thought that [Andrew] had a vendetta," he joked to Cover Media.



"But he made a great point when we were filming, I don't know whether that was to motivate or what, but it was 'The more we beat you up, the more you're going to be liked!'"



Taylor trained rigorously to take on the challenges of this role.



"To say the least, this was by far the most exhausting thing I've ever been a part of," he shared.



Taylor is aware of the great importance of his role. He is hopeful that his performance will satisfy both diehard comic book fans and general movie lovers.



"I think it's just being honest to the character," Taylor explained.



"It's funny, once I first got the role, you're in the mix for a while, and for months on end I was saying to myself if I got the role, I was going to get 'comic book big.' But then when I got the script and the role I wanted to get the happy medium between the escapism and also staying real. So I'm very happy with the happy medium we have."



John Carter is released in UK cinemas from March 9 2012.
