Michael Jackson Doctor Conrad Murray's Trial Set For January

More than a year after Michael Jackson's death, the pop icon's former personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was in court Monday (August 23) where a judge finally set a preliminary date of January 4, 2011, in the cardiologist's involuntary-manslaughter trial.
TMZ reported that Murray's legal team won a request to get a fluid sample from Jackson as part of their defense strategy questioning the accuracy of levels of the surgical anesthetic propofol found in Jackson's body. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office determined that Jackson, 50, died as a result of acute propofol intoxication.
Murray has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter and has admitted to giving Jackson propofol, a strong anesthetic usually used during surgery but allegedly employed by chronic insomniac Jackson as a sleep aid. Murray's lawyers have said the physician did not administer any drugs that "should have" caused Jackson's death. The investigation into his death was equally lengthy, lasting more than eight months, after which Los Angeles prosecutors charged that Murray gave the King of Pop a lethal combination of propofol and other painkillers and sedatives in the hours before the singer was found dead in his rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25, 2009. Murray faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
After hearing from both sides in the case at the January court date, the judge, Michael Pastor, will determine if there is enough evidence to mount a full trial.
Jackson's mother and father, Katherine and Joseph, were in court on Monday, according to Radar Online, sitting in the front row as Judge Pastor set the preliminary hearing date. Pastor granted a protective order covering all evidence in the criminal case, meaning it cannot be released to anyone other than the lawyers, paralegals and investigators in the case.
Murray's defense team reportedly asked for access to three fluids collected by the coroner's office, including ones taken from syringes and an IV tube to re-examine test results. Pastor ruled that the coroner's office must preserve the samples, and if defense attorneys and prosecutors cannot agree on the request, he will schedule a hearing on the matter.
After court let out, a group of Jackson supporters gathered and sang an impromptu verse that featured the lines, "Conrad Murray is a cold man," while holding up signs that read "Justice for Michael Jackson" and "Love Unites Us, Peace Drives Us, Judgment Day 4 All."

Lower Back Tattoos - Sexy Spot Or Trashy Tattoo Design?
In as much as I would like to say that lower back tattoos are so 1990s, it seems that it still has not lost its popularity and appeal to the tat-loving crowd. Google's data shows that there is more than 60,00 search last month alone for lower back tattoos. So even if the rib cage, foot and wrist seem to be in the rage lately, the lower back is still very much in the scene.

What makes a chocolate cake recipe so special?
When it comes to baking, everyone has a different way of going over it. Some individuals comply with a recipe accurately and some take a recipe and make it their own. So long as the outcome turns out incredibly scrumptious, what does it really matter? Experimenting and discovering new ingredients and methods for baking is a part of people having their own preferences and creativity. Plus, it is the method in which new recipes are put into publication. There's something which is, for me, incredibly tough to screw up - a chocolate cake recipe. There is not a chocolate cake recipe in existence that hasn't turned into something which I've thought to be terrible. Sure, a number of them can use some enhancement, but chocolate is my weakness. So long as it turns out fluffy and moist, I'm in heaven.
Regardless of what cookbook you read through, you will discover a chocolate cake recipe, or several, that will tempt you beyond belief. You will have different toppings, ingredients or icings that'll be recommended. It is possible to select the chocolate cake recipe that matches the amount of work that you're comfortable with making. Do you want to obtain additional information on chocolate? This French post regarding chocolate (chocolat) features some interesting information and should be interesting for you to take a look.
My grandmother used to make the best cakes. Each year, for my birthday, she would bake me a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. In my opinion, there is nothing better. She never shared her recipe with anyone, she merely enjoyed all of us drooling over it and praising her skills. Her birthday cakes were the key reason I looked forward to my birthdays. In her final year of life, she was rather sick. My birthday was a week away and she called me to inform me that she was incredibly sorry but she wouldn't manage to make my cake. She didn't feel that she had the strength or energy. But, she wished to pass her secret chocolate cake recipe that we all longed to get. Within a day, it was within my hands. I read over it, spotting that the last ingredient detailed was "love". My eyes welled up and I decided that I would be baking my very own birthday cake that year. I did exactly that, following her chocolate cake recipe to the exact details. On the night of my birthday, I took my grandmother a piece of cake. She ate it very slowly, telling me how great it was. I saw the look of happiness in her eyes.
Regardless of how many chocolate cake recipes you will come across in your lifetime, you'll always have one that you're attached to. Perhaps it just tastes the best, or even it has sentimental meaning.

Michael Jackson Doctors Won't Be Charged In Singer's Death
California state investigators will not file charges against seven other doctors who treated the late star.By Mawuse Ziegbe

Seven doctors who treated the late Michael Jackson will not be charged in the singer's death. According to The Associated Press California officials said Wednesday (July 28) that they will not file charges against the doctors who were under scrutiny as part of an investigation launched by the state's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement.
Jackson passed away in June 2009 after suffering cardiac arrest. His personal doctor Conrad Murray — who was not one of the seven doctors included in the investigation — has been charged in his death and pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter after allegedly giving the star the potent anesthetic propofol.
"I am very disappointed," said Brian Oxman, an attorney for Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson. "The misuse of medications by Michael Jackson in the last years of his life was excessive and to fail to bring that to the public eye is ignoring reality." Oxman is serving as Joe Jackson's lawyer in a wrongful death suit against Murray.
Bureau spokesperson Christine Gasparac told the AP that one of the doctors who was under investigation was referred to the California Medical Board for prescribing drugs to one of Jackson's aliases, however, a spokesperson for the board did not confirm the referral. A spokesperson for the Drug Enforcement Agency told the AP that it has also dropped its investigation into Jackson's doctors.
Murray lawyer Ed Chernoff has maintained that the doctor did not administer a fatal dose of propofol and has suggested that either Jackson gave himself the anesthetic or another person may have supplied the late star with the dose. However, an anesthesia expert has said the possibility of Jackson administering the drug himself is unlikely.
A preliminary hearing in the Jackson manslaughter case is slated for August and Murray faces a sentence of up to four years in jail.

Chris Brown's BET Awards MJ Tribute Was 'Spectacular,' Jermaine Jackson Says
'He deserves to perform, because it's healing for him,' Michael Jackson's brother tells 'Extra.'By Gil Kaufman

Chris Brown wasn't the only one getting misty-eyed at Sunday night's BET Awards during his tribute to Michael Jackson. The King of Pop's older brother, Jermaine, told "Extra" that he was also overcome with emotion during the dance routine, in which Brown paid homage to some of MJ's most famous moves and then attempted to sing "Man in the Mirror" before being overcome with emotion and weeping onstage.
"To see [Chris'] performance, it was very emotional for me, because it was an acceptance from his fans from what has happened to him and also paying tribute to my brother," Jermaine said. "It was just a spectacular moment."
Fans and critics have been split on the performance, which some saw as the bursting of an emotional dam for the singer, making his first major public appearance since he pleaded guilty to felony assault in his assault of former girlfriend Rihanna last June. Others speculated that Brown may have manufactured the tears to gain sympathy from fans who abandoned him in the wake of the Rihanna attack.
Jermaine Jackson said he thought Brown — a longtime devotee of Michael's and, at one point, considered a modern heir to the R&B throne — had every right to pay homage to his brother. "He deserves to perform, because it's healing for him," Jermaine said. "How can he learn from his mistakes if you don't give him a chance? He needs that. I love Rihanna, and I'm not supporting what he did, but I support him [as a singer] 100 percent. ... I'm just very emotional just knowing what has happened. Chris Brown is a human being, and we all make mistakes. We can't condemn him for what has happened. We hope he has learned from it."
Brown hasn't made any public statements since the BET performance, but on Monday, he did tweet, "My fans are my world," a follow-up to a message earlier in the day when he wrote, "I Love you ... (ever single one of #teambreezy)."

Living a debt-free life
"How to get out of debts?" is a question that is often asked by people. Due to the fact that individuals can have easy accessibility to credit facilities it is becoming common for individuals to become over-indebted. So how do you deal with this issue? Can we do it really? In order to help you get more details on this I have written this short article and hope that it will be useful for you.
The solution won't be identical for everyone since it will all be determined by the amount of debts that you have. For example there are many individuals who cannot even pay out their loans minimum fee. In reality even if you are capable of paying the monthly fee you aren't contributing anything towards the principal. It is necessary that you examine your financial state well before you begin repaying your debts. One French article that I have recently come across is on debts counseling (aide au surendettement) and should prove interesting to take a look.
In some cases it may be important that you seek some methods to improve your revenue. It's very common nowadays to find people doing a second job in order to increase their revenue. This can be a good way for you to get free from debts. Make sure that the job will fit into your schedule and will not be detrimental to your social life. Discover more on this by having a look at this French post on jobs (recherche d'emploi) since it contains some useful point.
In order to avoid getting yourself into those circumstances it is necessary that you learn how to manage your finance. In some instances making a budget and sticking to it can prove rather helpful with regards to managing debts. It is necessary that you learn how to live according to your means. There are plenty of money guide which exist on the internet and should prove really helpful to have a look. This may help you break free from the life that you currently have.
To lead a debt-free life is not as easy as it seems. Indeed if you have been used to live above your means and to use your credit card to finance this lifestyle, it can be very hard to come back at a lower standard of living. However failing to do so will pave the way for more debts and you'll have greater problem down the road to come out from this situation.

Statistics in favor of vegetarianism.
A lot of non-vegetarians plus some vegetarians alike question whether being a vegetarian truly makes any difference at all. Some mention blurry ethical situations making it impossible to see a vegetarian lifestyle as ethical.
In case you are a prospective vegetarian for ethical reasons, but are not sure whether or not a vegetarian way of life is truly a more ethical choice, here are some data from EarthSave that may help you make your choice (for or against):
1. More than 1.3 billion human beings could be fed every year from the grain and soybeans which go to livestock in the US. This implies that the entire population of the USA may be fed (without losing any vitamins and minerals) and there would still be enough food remaining to give food to one billion people.
In a world where millions of people die every year of starvation, that sort of food excess and ineffectiveness could be thought to be unethical.
2. Livestock in the us makes roughly 30 times more excrement than human beings. While humans in the USA have complex sewage systems to collect and treat human waste, there are no such systems on feedlots. Therefore, most of this waste leeches into water. Which means that large-scale, massive production and slaughter of animals is not only unethical, but it also leads to severe environmental degradation.
3. It will take 7.5 pounds of protein feed to create 1 pound of consumable hog protein; plus it takes 5 pounds of protein feed to produce 1 pound of consumable chicken protein. Close to 90% of protein from wheat and beans is lost to feed cycling. Which means that a significant amount of resources are devoted to producing wheat and soy just with the objective of giving it to animals, that will be slaughtered as "a source of protein"--although they only provide about 1/5 of the amount they consume.
Not only can the production of meat be regarded as an injustice against animals, but it can also be considered an injustice against humans, and also the environment.
in general. Another major concern for people that want to choose vegetarianism is the fact that vegetarian dishes aren't tasty. Should you be in this situation I will advise you to take a look at this French article on no-meat dishes (ortie) to be able to find out more on this subject.
Do you know that you have various other vegetables that may be beneficial for humans but is rather uncommon? Find out more on this subject by having a look at this French website on stinging nettle (smoothies) because it holds some useful point.
