Put together a new Logo last night... you like? It says DMusical Notes... which may just be what these articles are called. Maybe.

It's another one of them slower news days but there are a few good bites. It's Wednesday... I don't think I ever have much to say on Wednesdays. Rented Changing Lanes for tonight. I'll watch it as soon as I'm done with the article.

Juvenile beats up his Barber because of Piracy

Rapper Juvenile, real name Terius Gray, turned himself into the New Orleans police on Tuesday after charges arose that he beat up and robbed a barber.

Juvenile posted bail for charges of simple battery and simple robbery.

Juvenile apparently beat up the barber, Bert Williams, after he thought that Williams had been selling bootlegged copies of Juvenile's music. Juvenile punched Williams to the ground, and then he and two of his associates robbed Williams for $200 in cash.

Juvenile's attorney stated the following: "He looks forward to the day when he'll be vindicated. It's unfortunate that being a celebrity attracts allegations."

Is this where the RIAA is heading or is Juvenile just acting like a child? If it's ok for companies to hack into P2P homepages and software is it ok for artists to defend their music by attacking their pirates?

The show will tape tonight in Las Vegas and reunite the 30 initial contestants. Winner Kelly Clarkson will sing three new songs including the new single "A Moment Like This." Her first video will air during the show as well. After the broadcast, viewers will be able to vote on what song Clarkson should record next. The results will be announced on Tuesday.

Wow... talk about milking the fat Texan Cow... Eh well they put on a really good show together. The final 10 are all a talented bunch, like the Partridge family almost. Too bad it's on a Monday competing against Monday Night Football and Prowrestling.

Wow that was a small edition of notes... well I can't help it, the day is quite small. But here to fill the void is some Other News.

Free Pot

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (Reuters) - Hundreds of cancer and AIDS patients along with other sick wheelchair-bound people lined up outside Santa Cruz's City Hall to receive medical marijuana and protest a recent U.S. government raid on local pot growing cooperative that distributes it.

Several patients, including a 70-year-old man suffering from post-polio syndrome received on Tuesday small bags of marijuana or tinctures containing its active ingredient.

The group distributing it said there was not enough to go around and warned that many patients could lose their most effective means of pain relief, or be forced to buy it on the street, if the federal government continued to fight California's practice of allowing pot to be grown and handed out for medicinal use.

Local cooperatives have been providing pot to patients since 1996, when voters approved a medical marijuana initiative. But federal drug enforcement agents last week raided one such cooperative here, run by the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana, and destroyed all the group's plants.

The California law allowing the use of marijuana to treat illnesses such as AIDS, cancer and glaucoma, has always been in conflict with federal law, and last year the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld the federal ban on marijuana.

Among those protesting the raid were Harry Boyle, a 24- year-old brain cancer patient who said pot had helped offset nausea brought on by chemotherapy, and helped him maintain his weight.

"I was devastated when all our plants were torn up," said Boyle, who also volunteers at the Wo/Men's Alliance and said the group had always followed a strict procedure of checking with doctors to make sure patients' health claims were legitimate, before they distributed the pot.

WIN A FREE CRYOGENIC FREEZING!!!

LONDON (Reuters) - A leading science magazine is offering readers a prize to die for -- cryonics treatment.

The lucky winner of the prize promoting the revamp of New Scientist magazine won't be able to collect the award until death when he or she will be cooled to a temperature at which decay of the body stops and then suspended in liquid nitrogen in a state known as cryonic preservation.

"We think that the cryonics promotion is a way of making science interesting to everyone, not just scientists, which is exactly the same message we are trying to communicate about the magazine itself," editor Alun Anderson said in a statement.

If and when the medical technology allows, the winner preserved at The Cryonics Institute of Michigan in the United States, will be revived to continue their life.

If the winner is not eager to be preserved, the magazine is offering an alternative prize -- a week in Hawaii and a visit to the Mauna Kea observatory.

Great I missed out on the free government weed. Why do AIDS and cancer sufferers get to be so lucky? I think the government should legalize "pot" and just tax the hell out of it. Sell'em by the stick for about 5-10 bucks a pop with a 70% tax mark-up. That'll take care of the US's deficit problems in no time. Of course we'll have a country of baked idiots though.

Wow... I want to be frozen after I die... I'm entering now.

Later.

It's a plant people! When it all comes down to it, it is just a natural plant that grows out of the earth. I think it is insane to think that someone has the authority to deem a natural part of this planet illegal. Should the government have the right to ban something that is created in nature? I think it is just retarded that we can't find something better to spend our police power and tax dollars on. Destroying a crop intended for medical purpose is just mean and really does nothing but hurt people that are terminaly ill. It makes me mad that my state (California) has voted in favor of medicinal use of Marijuana but the federal government ignores such state laws. What happens when more than half of the states pass similar legislation? Will the federal government still decide to waste billions of dollars cracking down on these "hard criminals". It's just rediculous! And what do we gain when we rid the streets of Marijuana? Will anything change? Fuck no, because there will still be crack, crank, coke, heroin, acid, extasy, opium, and pcp. Why are we targeting marijuana? Out of all the drugs out there, Marijuana is the least harmful. Have you ever heard of someone smoking a joint and then beating his wife, or driving like a lunatic, or robbing a liquor store? I haven't! That's because people that smoke pot are to lazy to do any of that.

Comment. ...Follow the money. There's obviously more money in the fight against it than in the legalization of it. That's what it ALL boils down to. If alcoholic prohibition had made money, it'd still be in effect. ..My 2¢.

hehee, I remember that flick. What a goof. lol Think I even have it on video somewhere.

If I was that barber, I would goto that kid, with a gun in my right hand, and an Imation cd-r of all his music on ogg in the other, tell him "this is all your music. I have made 100s of $$$ on it, so go **** yourself." Than I would shoot him.

Wow! New logo!

poppy's = poppies
