Artists File $100 Million Suit Against Universal Music Over 2008 Fire Several prominent bands, musicians and artist estates sued the world's largest record company, Universal Music Group [UMG], on Friday after an investigation published by the New York Times earlier this month alleged that hundreds of thousands of master recordings, protection copies, unreleased music and other materials had burned in a massive fire at a UMG vault in 2008. The plaintiffs contend that UMG breached its contract with artists by failing to archive the materials properly, instead allegedly stowing masters and other materials "in an inadequate, substandard storage warehouse located on the backlot of Universal Studios [Hollywood] that was a known firetrap." Moreover, they say that after the fire, "UMG concealed the loss with false public statements such as that 'we only lost a small number of tapes and other material by obscure artists from the 1940s and 50s.' "

Just read that Ortiz has been moved out of the intensive care unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. "He remains in good condition," they say.

Give that man a C-gar!

All the best CJ!

That's unfortunate. You probably already know that a low sodium diet can help reduce fluid retention and help control your blood pressure. Good luck.

You resurrect a 10-year-old thread with a terrible title just to complain that you got poison ivy? Oh well, so it's not a total loss, enjoy this:

HELL YEAH!!!!!

Happy Birthday Kev.

His gallbladder and part of his intestines were removed. The Red Sox flew him back to Boston in the late afternoon, and tonight he's resting at Mass General. Prayers for Papi. "Six years ago, David Ortiz's spirit and resolve helped us all begin to heal from the Boston Marathon bombing. Today, I want to join many others in wishing him a speedy recovery of his own. Get well soon, Papi." - Barak Obama

That's the original.

Welcome update: Ortiz's father, Leo, told reported outside the clinic that his son was out of danger and there was no damage to his major organs. He said he had no idea why someone would have shot at his son. "He is out of surgery and stable. He is resting," Leo Ortiz said. "’Big Papi’ will be around for a long time."
