On Friday, Psy's original music video became the first video on YouTube to exceed 1 billion views, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The banner outside may still say spring 2012, but Forever 21's grand opening is pushed back until the middle of summer.
I was at Wesfield Annapolis mall the other day scoping out what it has to offer in the way of shopping, and I noticed the construction of what appears to be a huge Forever 21 store. The banner said, "Opening Spring 2012." I peeked inside at construction, and it looked like things were running way behind schedule. I couldn't see how the store would be finished before June 20, the official start date of summer. Besides, I think most people consider it summer already. So, I emailed Christi Wallace, the director of marketing for Westfield Annapolis. "We are probably looking at more of a July opening at this point," Wallace said in an email response. "I don’t have a firm date to share with you, but I will be in touch as soon as I hear something…

Students around Annapolis reveal their favorite songs.
Ever wonder what's playing in the ears of plugged-in teens and tweens? Patch stopped by a table of teens studying for their physics test at Barnes and Noble in the Annapolis Harbour Center and then talked to a few more students at Westfield Annapolis mall. What's Hot? Local teens' listening favorites covered a wide range of music — classic and alternative rock, R&B, rap, techno and even country. Some older teens even listened to some "classics." What's Not? A few said "no country" while others said "no rap." While Justin Beiber got the nod from one young teen, he received thumbs down from others. And, despite her current spot in Billboard’s Top 100, not one teen mentioned a Britney Spears' song. Scroll through the photos to read how the …

Police, self-defense experts offer safety tips for children and teenagers.
Telling children not to talk to strangers isn’t always enough to keep them from danger, according to police and self defense experts. After a teen girl was sexually assaulted at the mall earlier this month, police say children should practice safety scenarios, learn to make a scene if something is wrong and to review rules and emergency plans with parents. “It’s so understandable how that could have happened,” Joe Van Deuren, owner of Balanced Life Skills, a third-degree black belt and instructor of self defense and martial arts, said of the incident at the mall. “We teach kids to trust adults and not to make a scene ... We need to teach them how to say ‘no’ loudly and with assertiveness.” Status of the Mall Case The reported assault at …
