Patsy Cline was an American singer. She is considered one of the most influential vocalists of the 20th century and was one of the first country music artists to crossover into pop music. Cline had several major hits during her eight-year recording career, including two number-one hits on the Billboard Hot Country and Western Sides chart. Cline's first professional performances began at the local WINC radio station. In the early 1950s, Cline began appearing in a local band led by performer Bill Peer. Various local appearances led to featured performances on Connie B. Gay's Town and Country television broadcasts, it led to the signing of her first recording contract with the Four Star label in 1954. She had minor success with her earliest Four Star singles including "A Church, A Courtroom and Goodbye" and "I've Loved and Lost Again". In 1957 however, Cline made her first national television appearance on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts. After performing "Walkin' After Midnight", the single would become her first major hit on both the country and pop charts.

Cline's further singles with Four Star Records were unsuccessful, although she continued performing and recording. After marrying in 1957 and giving birth in 1958, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee to further her career. Working with new manager Randy Hughes, Cline would become a member of the Grand Ole Opry and move to Decca Records in 1960. Under the direction of producer Owen Bradley, her musical sound shifted and she achieved consistent success; the 1961 single "I Fall to Pieces" would become her first to top the Billboard country chart. As the song became a hit, Cline was injured in an automobile accident, which caused her to spend a month in the hospital. After recovering, her next single release "Crazy" would become a major hit. Between 1962 and 1963, Cline had hits with "She's Got You", "When I Get Through with You", "So Wrong" and "Leavin' on Your Mind", she toured and headlined shows with more frequency. In March 1963, Cline appeared at a benefit show in Missouri. To return home, she boarded a plane along with country performers Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins and manager Randy Hughes.

Upon hitting rough weather, the plane crashed outside of Camden, killing all those on board. Since her death, Cline has been cited as one of the most celebrated and influential performers of the 20th century, her music has influenced performers of various genres. She has been seen as a forerunner for women in country music, being among the first to sell records and headline concerts. In 1973, she became the first female performer to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In the 1980s, Cline's posthumous successes continued in the mass media, she was portrayed twice in major motion pictures, including the 1985 biopic Sweet Dreams starring Jessica Lange. Several documentaries and stage shows were released during this time, including the 1988 musical Always... Patsy Cline. A 1991 box set of her recordings was issued, her greatest hits album sold over 10 million copies in 2005. In 2011, Cline's childhood home was restored as a museum for fans to tour. Cline was born Virginia Patterson Hensley in Winchester Memorial Hospital, located in Winchester, Virginia.

Cline's mother was only 16 years old at the time of her birth. Besides being called "Virginia" in her childhood, she was referred to as "Ginny", she temporarily lived with her mother's family in Gore, Virginia before relocating many times throughout the state. In her childhood, the family relocated where Sam Hensley could find employment, including Elkton and Norfolk; when the family had little money, she would find work. This included an Elkton poultry factory, where her job was to cut chickens; the family moved before settling in Winchester, Virginia on South Kent Street. Cline would report that her father sexually abused her; when confiding about the abuse to friend Loretta Lynn, Cline told her, "take this to your grave". Hilda Hensley would report details of the abuse to producers of Cline's 1985 biopic Sweet Dreams. At age 13, Cline was hospitalized with rheumatic fever. Speaking of the incident in 1957 she said, "I developed a terrible throat infection and my heart stopped beating; the doctor put me in an oxygen tent.

You might say. The fever affected my throat and when I recovered I had this booming voice like Kate Smith's." It was during this time. She started performing with her mother in the local Baptist choir. Mother and daughter performed duets at church social events, she taught herself how to play the piano. Cline's interest in performing continued to build. At age 14, she declared to her mother, her first radio performances began at WINC in the Winchester area. According to WINC's radio disc jockey Joltin' Jim McCoy, Cline appeared in the station's waiting room one day and asked to audition. McCoy was impressed by her audition performance saying, "Well, if you've got nerve enough to stand before that mic and sing over the air live, I've got nerve enough to let you." While performing on the radio, she started appearing in talent contests and created a nightclub cabaret act similar to performer Helen Morgan. Cline's mother and father had marital conflicts during her childhood and by 1947, her father deserted the family.

SpinSpotter was an online service, developed by Seattle-based SpinSpotter Inc. designed to surface specific instances of bias and inaccuracy in any news story online. The service focused on these major news outlets: CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, The New York Times and Yahoo! News. Users of the service installed a browser toolbar called Spinoculars, which allowed them to see and edit the spin out of any news story; when users noticed a subtle or egregious instance of spin, they would highlight the text within the news article, creating a "Spin Marker", chose an appropriate "Rule of Spin" from a drop-down menu. The Seven Deadly Spins were: Reporter's Voice, Inaccurate Information, Passive Voice, Biased Source, Disregarded Context, Selective Disclosure, Lack of Balance. Users were able to interact in several ways including: adding a description to someone else's Spin Marker, joining a discussion on a Spin Marker, voting on the significance of spin within a Spin Marker. Based on those votes, users established a trust level within the community.

Votes with a higher impact came from a panel of journalism students and media professionals called "Referees". The service launched in beta form on September 8, 2008. SpinSpotter Inc. was founded by Todd Herman and its chief executive officer was John Atcheson. Epic Ventures was the main corporation supporting SpinSpotter. In early reaction to the beta release, Language Log concluded that the service appeared to be overly reliant on user input and that its spin-spotting software didn't do anything at all; the New York Times reported that there appeared to be few phrases in SpinSpotter's database of spin and that the service's algorithm cannot account for context or tone. Language Log noted that the service's example of passive voice is not in fact in the passive voice. SpinSpotter failed to achieve success, it attracted 30,000 unique visitors in the first month after its launch, but, down to only 7,000 unique visitors in March 2009. SpinSpotter’s founders shut down the SpinSpotter.com web site that month and subsequently replaced it with SparkWords.com, a site that invites people to post a provocative phrase and follow it with a question, in hopes of generating discussion
