  3. Bummer that the game only got them one point in the standings DiPietro was fantastic! He got the Isles the extra point for sure. Leafs were disciplined too. I can't remember when i've seen so few penalties. Good for the refs. Battaglia is looking really good too. At least Sundin could score in the shootout.

  13. Medical marijuana advocates win lawsuit against DEA! Medical marijuana advocates won a major victory against the federal government yesterday: In a stinging 87-page opinion, the DEA’s own administrative law judge (ALJ) ruled that the DEA has been improperly blocking medical marijuana research. The MPP grants program provided money for the lawsuit. News of the lawsuit victory was covered by more than 100 media outlets, including the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Seattle Post-Intelligencer. You can read the Associated Press story here. Right now, any researcher who wants to study the therapeutic effects of marijuana must obtain permission from the DEA and a supply of government-grown marijuana from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). This has proven to be incredibly difficult, as NIDA’s mission is to investigate marijuana’s potential harms, not medicinal benefits, and the DEA is outright hostile to medical marijuana research. Professor Lyle Craker of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, working in conjunction with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, has been trying for years to solve this problem. Back in 2001, he applied to the DEA for permission to grow a private supply of marijuana for use in clinical research. The DEA delayed making a decision for nearly three and a half years and then finally rejected Dr. Craker’s application, fallaciously claiming that international treaty obligations prevented it from granting permission. But yesterday, DEA ALJ Ellen Bittner ruled that the DEA had no basis to reject Dr. Craker’s application. Unfortunately, the decision to authorize the clinical trials needed to persuade the FDA to approve marijuana as a prescription medicine is now in the hands of America's top drug cop, DEA chief Karen Tandy. Unlike in other areas of U.S. jurisprudence, the DEA administrator can ignore the ruling of the DEA’s ALJ. Indeed, this happened in 1988, when the DEA’s ALJ ruled that marijuana has medical value and should therefore be rescheduled from Schedule I to Schedule II under federal law. The DEA administrator refused to do so and, as a result, federal law still incorrectly asserts that marijuana is as dangerous as heroin and LSD — and that cocaine and methamphetamine have more medicinal value than marijuana. Prohibitionists have long argued that the 11 states that have legalized medical marijuana in the last 11 years should not have done so, claiming that the decision to allow for the medical use of a drug should be determined through FDA-approved clinical trials. If Tandy refuses to authorize clinical trials or — more likely — she delays, this will provide MPP with an additional incentive — and a strong public justification — for spending a few million dollars to pass additional state-level medical marijuana laws through state legislatures and ballot initiatives. To help MPP continue to fight the federal government, please consider making a financial donation today. Thank you ... Sincerely, Rob Kampia Executive Director Marijuana Policy Project Washington, D.C. P.S. As I've mentioned in previous alerts, a major philanthropist has committed to match the first $2.4 million that MPP can raise from the rest of the planet in 2007. This means that your donation today will be doubled.

  17. http://www.kotorimag.com/?p=article&id=8&PHPSESSID=3d351885d3415c8e876a71c549a91676 Live Nation is a Minion of Evil BY: Jake McGee Around the turn of the century, large monitors began popping up at concerts. Sometimes they would supplement the performance, but more often they would flash advertisements in the down time between acts. Eventually, they became a disgusting part of the concert landscape. For example, at Guitar Center's DJ Spinoff in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 4, 2002, between every set, the MC of the event said, "and now turn your attention to the screens," so that the crowd could watch ads for Dodge trucks. Obviously, this intense commercialization is to make more money, but for who? Concert promoters claim it's just the cost of business, to help pay for the events. But as ticket prices continue to climb, it seems that it's simply about milking the events for as much scrilla as possible. At the top of this food chain lies Live Nation, the concert leg of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. Formerly known as Clear Channel Entertainment, Live Nation dominates the concert industry with control of over 70% of the nation's live shows. In February 2000, Clear Channel bought SFX Entertainment- a collection of regional concert firms and venues- for about $4.4 billion. "This transaction," said Clear Channel CEO Lowery Mays, "allows Clear Channel, through SFX, to gain immediate leadership in the highly attractive live entertainment segment, while taking advantage of the natural relationship between radio and live music events." With Clear Channel's supremacy over the radio and advertising industries, their competition was no match; in 2004, they generated more revenue than their 24 leading rivals combined. Furthermore, they exploit every chance they can to make an extra buck, raising vendor prices, placing numerous advertising monitors at venues, tacking on all sorts of weird service charges to ticket prices, and jacking up the prices of tickets themselves. Between 2000 and 2005, average ticket prices rose from $44.80 to $55.18, while bands such as U2 command an average of $138.02 per ticket. This conglomerate has been under persistent criticism for its business practices. One of many instances was in 2001, when Denver promoter Nobody In Particular Presents filed suit against Clear Channel, claiming they illegally reduced radio airplay for artists who booked concerts with competing promoters. While they eventually settled out of court, records showed emails sent from the Director of Programming for Clear Channel's Denver radio stations attacked management at Reprise Records for going with someone else. "We are out of business with you," they said, "and you can go fuck yourself as far as I'm concerned." There have been similar cases through the years since Clear Channel was founded in 1972. The biggest catch is, you have to have a lot of money to go up against Clear Channel, and so musicians and promoters often find little choice but to roll with the program, or be run out of business. Because of all the controversy, Clear Channel felt it best to try to make their companies seem like they weren't as connected as they are. Thus was born Live Nation, in December 2005. Clear Channel Executive Vice President and CFO Randall Mays is the Chairman of Live Nation, while the title of CEO and Director was given to Michael Rapino (who was already in charge of Clear Channel's amphitheaters and global concert business). In essence, all that changed was the name. Live Nation now owns or operates at least 135 venues, and through equity, booking or similar arrangements, they have the right to book events at more than 30 additional venues. "The business has become a lot more about customization," Rapino was quoted in USA Today in September ‘05. So, what Rapino has done is brought in pricier vendors to concerts, like Legal Sea Foods, Au Bon Pain, Starbucks, and Ben & Jerry's, as well as instigated various VIP programs, where if you pay the right price, you can get a seat on stage, access to backstage parties, photo opportunities, etc. Now, at first it appears that bands like the Rolling Stones- who charge more than $450 for a VIP ticket- are the greedy ones. Then you take into account that these tickets are taken from the stash that performers used to be given per show. So, where 10 years ago it was up to the musicians who got the VIP tickets, it's now up to the corporate promoters. "Corporations have been sold all the good seats," Steve Miller told Rolling Stone in 2004, recalling a concert with an attendance of 18,166, but only 2,311 in ticket sales. "[They] are removed from the ticket manifests, and not shared with me." Even worse, in 2003 Clear Channel bought the patent for technology that enables concerts to be recorded instantly and then sold directly following the show. For decades, many bands have condoned recording their shows, allowing for trading among die-hard fans. But the quality wasn't always guaranteed, and when slimy cats started charging rates like $40 and more for these albums, musicians figured they should hop in on the game, not just to make money, but moreover to ensure the best sound possible. Pearl Jam was the infamous catalyst for this trend, when they offered recordings of every show from their European tour in 2000. Within months there were more than 70 different titles, and the band sold more than 3 million copies. But when Clear Channel seized control of this too, suddenly fans and artists found the tradition almost prohibited, regardless of the musicians' wishes. Now, the only way to get a live recording at any Live Nation show is to buy it through Instant Live, Clear Channel's live concert burn-and-sell company. Neil Young put it best about Live Nation and Clear Channel, when he told the Chicago Tribune in 2003, "They are anti-music, and they don't get the spirit of it." Thankfully, Young, Miller, and many other artists have started denouncing Clear Channel for what they are, while some musicians, such as underground sensations The Locust, refuse to play any Live Nation show, no matter how hard it makes things. This righteous attitude cost The Locust several prime dates in their 2005 tour with Fantamos. "Turning down shows with our friends the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Fantomas at the Filmore isn't the easiest thing to do," the band stated, "but instead of it being a thorn in our side, it's more of like an early coffin nail for Clear Channel." Clear Channel has made the concert experience into expensive yuppie galas, where lattes are sold at punk rock shows. And there is little the audience can do to stop them, unless everyone who truly loves music completely boycotts their concerts all together. Even then, they would thrive somehow. Indeed, recent Pollstar figures show that while the number of tickets sold in 2005 dropped to 36.1 million from 37.6 million in 2004, concert revenue continues to climb, from $2.8 billion in 2004 to $3.1 billion in 2005. It seems to be up to the artists at this point, to avoid playing Live Nation events at all costs, and opting for the smaller venues. Which would prove a nice thing, going back to the days when musicians played at one venue for several nights, rather than hopping from state to state every day. This would give fans a chance to see their favorite musicians in a more intimate setting, and give the musicians a chance to relax a little more while on tour. Sure, we'd be losing the opportunity to pay $5 for a bottle of water, but such is life.
  18. Those TicketBastard auctions are EVIL! Supposedly they (not the artist/promoter) make the extra on top of the face value either. Glorified scalping by the ticket provider ... nice. Just like promoters figured out that they could raise ticket prices to reap the profits the scalpers were getting, they are doing this auction shit now because they saw that people do this on eBay and were taking "their" profits away. TicketBastard IS evil. Remember too, that Live Nation is the new brand name that Clear Channel (evil) gave to its concert arm. Interesting read here: http://www.kotorimag.com/?p=article&id=8&PHPSESSID=3d351885d3415c8e876a71c549a91676 TONS of tix with the brokers and eBay already; http://www.eventticketscenter.com/ResultsTicket.aspx?evtid=521485 http://tickets.search.ebay.com/police-toronto-acc_Tickets_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR8QQsacatZ1305QQsubmitsearchZSearch
  19. Blocks of seats are reserved for these sales. The ones being kicked back in now are ones where credit cards were rejected, or people dumping back tix they didn't want. It's a big gamble. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't win much. For this show, I just wanted IN!!! Depending on my mood, i might just find my way down to those $225 seats .
  20. When he comes to Canada doesn't he change it to FalvoUr?
  21. I assume those were the $225 seats?
  22. right on ... should be a partay! Hope the people in row 10 don't mind us passing doobies to one another .
  23. I'm IN!!! I went for the $95 seats and am upper bowl!!! Whoa. Section 320 Row 11 Anyone else??
