Hells Angels motorcycle group is suing the United States government over it's listing as a criminal organization.
They claim that the status violates their constitutional rights, and are complaining as it keeps their international members from visiting the country.
Originally founded in Southern California, in 1948, the group has spread to thirty-five countries.
Lawyers for the group state that they are "made up of motorcycle enthusiasts who have joined to ride motorcycles
together, organize social events, fundraisers, parties and motorcycle
rallies", and that the illegal activities they are associated with are the work of individuals, not crimes of the group.
A response from a federal judge is expected within the next couple of weeks.
Three members of the Russian punk band, Pussy Riot, were only sentenced four days ago, but the rest of the band has already released a new song.
The band got in trouble after staging a political protest, including an anti Putin song, inside a Russian Orthodox church.
That protest resulted in three of the members being jailed, and now given a further two years of prison time.
It also brought the little known band to huge international notice.
Not to be deterred, from their message, the remaining four members released a new anti Putin song, called "Putin Lights Up The Fires".
Sung in Russian, the English translation is:
This state may be stronger than time in jail.
The more arrests, the happier it is.
Every arrest is carried out with love for the sexist
Who botoxed his cheeks and pumped his chest and abs.
But you can't nail us in the coffin.
Throw off the yoke of former KGB!
Putin is lighting the fires of revolution
He's bored and scared of sharing silence with the people
With every execution: the stench of rotten ash
With every long sentence: a wet dream
The country is going, the country is going into the streets boldly
The country is going, the country is going to bid farewell to the regime
The country is going, the country is going, like a feminist wedge
And Putin is going, Putin is going to say goodbye like a sheep
Arrest the whole city for May 6th
Seven years isn't enough, give us 18!
Forbid us to scream, walk and curse!
Go and marry Father Lukashenko
The Guardian, released a compilation video to go with the song:
Former Major League pitcher Roger Clemens will be returning to baseball August 25.
The seven time Cy Young award winner will return to the mound with the AAA Sugar Land Skeeters.
He signed a one game contract with the Houston based team, and they have the option to then sign the fifty year old for future games.
Currently, the Skeeters are ranked third in the Freedom Division of the Atlantic League.
Clemens retired after the 2007 season, after playing for twenty-four years.
Since then he's dealt with accusations of steroid abuse, a count of obstructing Congress, and three of making false statements to congressional investigators.
An eleven mile stretch of the Mississippi River is still closed due to low water.
Since a boat ran aground on August 11, the stretch near Greenville, Mississippi has been shut down.
The Coast Guard is looking at how to best dredge the river, to make it passable again.
At this point there is no timetable for the reopening of the river.
Nearly a hundred boats, ships, and barges are currently stuck by the closure; fifty-seven south bound and forty headed north.

The first trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand came out Friday. It will be his first real return to the movies, as he is the lead, not sharing the spot light, as he is in The Expendables 2.
Schwarzenegger plays the sheriff of a tiny border town called Sommerton Junction. His character, Owens, left the LAPD after some sort of major incident left his partner crippled.
Meanwhile, the FBI's most wanted masters an escape from a prisoner convoy. His only goal is to escape into Mexico, with his men taking out whatever is in the way.
Naturally Sommerton Junction is the crossing the bad guys have picked, so it ends up left to Owens to handle the job.
The Last Stand will hit theaters on January 18, 2013 and looks to do so with an intense rush.
After twenty-eight fires due to short circuits in power window and door lock switches, a recall has been issued for 258,000 SUVs.
Chevrolet Trail Blazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 97-X SUVs from 2006 and 2007 are all listed in the recall.
They were sold in or registered in twenty states, DC, and Canada.
The recall only affects areas where salt and or chemicals are used to clear winter roads, as the corrosive materials can get inside the driver's door and cause the short circuits which can start a fire.
Dealers will be replacing the circuitry and switches for free.
Owners can expect to receive letters informing them of when appointments can be set up.
At least twenty-seven people have been killed as Typhoon Kai-Tak strikes northern Vietnam.
It made landfall on Friday and has drowned the country in torrential downpours.
The rain has caused flooding of nearly sixty thousand acres, damaged an estimated twelve thousand houses, and strewn mud slides around the countryside.
State media said that twenty thousand soldiers were working on rescue operations, but actual reports show it to be a far lower number.
In China, two people were killed and two were missing as the typhoon destroyed around four thousand homes.
