 Link to this Day
Jelly Roll Morton helped invent jazz in America.In return, he was cheated and discarded by the industry he ignited. As the Jazz Century closes, the Tribune has documented how an artistic genius was robbed of his money, his dignity and his legacy.
Hopping on the Ken Burns Jazz-inspired meme, this is a pretty interesting history of a great jazz legend.

"After 38 years, five children later, Jackie, we're still here. I love you so much," Jackson said looking at his wife and two of their children as the Salem Baptist Church congregation roared with approval.
What's love got to do with it ... or marriage for that matter? Apparently, nothing.

We see changes in climate, we believe we humans are involved and we're projecting future climate changes much more significant over the next 100 years than the last 100 years.
When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around ... that's not under water yet.

Government plans to allow the cloning of human embryos could be thrown out by the House of Lords. Scientists believe the research could help the treatment of such degenerative diseases as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But religious leaders, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote an open letter to all peers urging them to oppose the plans.
Scientists playing god.

Whether you are drowning in debt or pay your cards in full, the high level of consumer debt can affect you. It was, for example, one of the major reasons that the Fed kept raising interest rates in 2000.
Make your lunch. Pay your bills. Save your receipts.

Link to this Day ... i know, i know!
A Stage 3 emergency was declared earlier in the day, meaning California power reserves had dropped below 1.5 percent. This signaled "rolling blackouts," in which areas of the power grid are taken offline for periods of one to two hours.
Blogging in a rolling bl ... bla ... blackout ...

storTroopers is a small drag-and-drop java avatar-creator that can be embedded into a webpage. Cool. Unlike other folks pushing this meem [uh, sic], that little caricature is really kinda what a cartoon-BoyCaught might look like; the largest percentage of body weight is in the head, like the Great Gazoo. Funny sh*t. Go and get your own! (b/w virulent memes)

The AIDS virus is surging like a prairie fire through black communities in the United States. The epidemic is not getting anything like the attention it deserves. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in every 50 black American men is infected with HIV. That is an astonishing statistic.

Oregon researchers have inserted a bit of jellyfish DNA into a monkey embryo, a first-of-its-kind primate experiment that produced a healthy offspring and nudges science closer to the day when it might be possible to tinker with human genetics.
Laffa while a you can, monkeyboy!

Dozens of movies play in theaters around the nation each month. Is it any wonder that you didn't find the time to see all of them last year?

For the first time, scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have successfully created a liquid form of DNA, the complex helical molecule that serves as the blueprint for development and growth of all living things.

The Namibian is its country's biggest selling newspaper and, at 15 years old, still a thorn in the side of the government. Kevin Toolis remembers when it was the sole voice against a racist regime - and its staff faced death.
BoyCaught wonders: here in the States, which newspaper is truly a thorn in the side of the government? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

A man who died about 60,000 years ago in Australia could force a rethink of our theory of human origins. Researchers in Australia have accomplished the extremely difficult feat of extracting DNA from his skeleton and were astonished to find the sequence is unique, matching nothing seen before.

According to an E-mail newsletter published by MarketSegment.com, at $570 billion in purchasing power, African American consumers would be the fourth largest economy in the world, trailing the US ($2.3 trillion), Japan ($1 trillion), and Germany ($600 billion). All that buying power, and a brutha still can't buy a vote in Florida, or hail a cab in New York. BoyCaught thought they said the only color that mattered was green in Amerikkka. Guess not.

BoyCaught thinks supermodel Iman's website is kinda pretty to look at ... but would one expect anything less (or more) from a supermodel, eh? (Flash 5, please.)

Welcome to Precious the interactive magazine for Women of Colour.
Cool, except for the way coloured is spelled; that's like saying that someone like Chris Rock is blacque.

In what marks yet another casting snafu for the folks at Fox, the network has acknowledged it kicked off one of the couples starring in its controversial new lust-a-thon, Temptation Island, because they lied to the network and production company about having a kid.
By the way, what a stupid idea for a show. Speaking as a man, BoyCaught knows that if you wave enough p**sy in a straight guy's face, eventually he'll break. He will break. Love's got nothing to do with that. Do we need to prove this age-old scientific fact in prime time? Do we need to tempt fate?

Link to this Day Ah, the slight return ...
Just a Tip introduces Compliments! Now you can compliment and congratulate your friends via short E-mail messages.
Sample Compliments:
You were great last night!
:-)
Whoah! You're so rad!
Damn, baby, you fine!
The kids, they sure are mastering the technology.(b/w e.v.e.r.c.l.e.a.r.)

When farmers can grow hemp for biomass they will make a profit energy farming. Then it will not take long to get 6% of continental American land mass into cultivation for biomass fuels -- enough to replace our economy's dependence on fossil fuels.
With Dubya, and his oil cabal, going to Washington, BoyCaught doubts alternative energy will get the attention it deserves. Out here in Cali, a real energy crisis is looming, but no leaders are stepping up and fighting for the average citizen, who's about to have his electric bill rise 20% or more.

A hemp powered car will be touring N. America this summer. It's goal is to prove the viability of hemp as fuel, and promote environmental fuel technologies and drug law reform.
Yeah, BoyCaught knows the drivers of that car won't get pulled over too often ...

You may not know it, but as of now, a treaty signed by President Clinton empowers an international court made up of strangers from foreign lands who have no concept of protections afforded U.S. citizens by their Constitution to reach out and try Americans for any number of charges.
Scary.

Hundreds of yuppie cokeheads snared by a sting - including doctors, lawyers and professors - are getting off because prosecutors say they're 'genteel users' who can manage their habits, sources told The Post.
Of course, it's the poor, unemployed crack addicts who are the real criminals. These other users, they have jobs and mortgages ... and credit cards! We can still make money off of them, so they still have value to us. (b/w Ethel)

(BoyCaught will be testing out a new homemade MySQL/Coldufusion/XML-yadda-yadda-yadda! posting system, hosted by the newer, cooler, cheaper isp this week. Due to the testing the next 5-7 days of posting may be sporadic and sketchy at best. Hmm, come to think of it, all of the posting on [cIb] is sporadic and sketchy. That of course, is what makes the sh*t cool, right! Okay, maybe not. Whatevah.)
