[Boing Boing] Cory Doctorow: Shelley Batts, a neuroscience PhD candidate at the University of Michigan, blogged a story about a recent paper on fruit antioxidants. She reproduced a small clip out of a chart from the article, and was threatened by lawyers from the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, one of the Wiley group's journals. This is, of course, bullshit. Reproducing part of a figure in a critical, scholarly essay is so obviously fair use that it hardly bears discussion. Wiley's lawyers know this. You and I know it too. ...

[Neil Gaiman's Journal] Good morning world.Holly and I got in to New York yesterday, checked in to the hotel and then ran to the MOTH rehearsal. Got there slightly late. I watched someone named Edgar tell a story of Southern Gothic madness that had happened to him, and then I told my much less impressive story. Got notes on it and then Holly and I headed out into the rain to get back to the hotel where my fellow panelists on the YA panel were waiting to be ferried to the Small Press Centre, a library on 44th st I've walked past over the years and never entered. It smelled like dusty books in dream-libraries. ...

[MetaFilter] For six years, the Bush administration, aided by Justice Department political appointees, has pursued an aggressive legal effort to restrict voter turnout in key battleground states in ways that favor Republican political candidates, according to former department lawyers and a review of written records.

[Cognitive Daily] When Shelley Batts wrote up a report on an article about antioxidants in fruits, she never expected to get contacted by the copyright police, but that's exactly what happened. She had reproduced a table and a figure from the article, and got this notice from an editorial assistant at the publisher: The above article contains copyrighted material in the form of a table and graphs taken from a recently published paper in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. If these figures are not removed immediately, lawyers from John Wiley & Sons will contact you with further action. ...

[The Superficial - Because You're Ugly] Rapper Eve was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence last night after she crashed her gold Maserati on Hollywood Boulevard, hitting the center divider and totaling the front of her car.

No word yet if Sean and Eve had been out together before her car accident. Eve and Sean Penn? That's a pretty weird combination. Sort of like Red Bull and Lucky Charms. ...

The music was tighter and had more focus, as did Morrison's lyrics, many of which dealt with his relationship with girlfriend Pamela Courson. The album has not only been remastered, but remixed as well, noticeably affecting some of the tracks. Morrison Hotel starts with "Roadhouse Blues," a stellar blues rocker, and one of the most exhilarating songs to open an album. ...
