Los Angeles police investigating Michael Jackson's sudden death said on Sunday they do not consider his doctor a suspect despite having questioned him about his presence at the time of the pop idol's fatal cardiac arrest.
The Jackson family had yet to announce funeral arrangements for the 50-year-old King of Pop. But a family friend told Reuters that a service could be held on Wednesday and that the family wanted to bury Jackson at his famous Neverland Ranch.
The death of one of the most gifted musical performers of his generation prompted tributes and condolences, from U.S. President Barack Obama to legions of fans in Hollywood. Top performers were set to honor Jackson at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
It was still unclear what, if any, role Jackson's prescription medicines might have played in his sudden death on Thursday. The family carried out its own autopsy on Saturday after the Los Angeles Coroner said it would need four to six more weeks to determine the exact cause of death.
Late on Saturday, police interviewed cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray in a second meeting that lasted three hours. The doctor was hired ahead of Jackson's comeback concert series in London this month.
"He was interviewed as a person of interest, not a suspect," Officer Norma Eisenman, a Los Angeles Police spokeswoman, told Reuters.
A police statement added that "Dr. Murray was cooperative and provided information that will aid the investigation."
According to media reports and a family friend, Jackson was injected with the narcotic painkiller Demerol before he went into cardiac arrest, and Murray was trying to revive him when paramedics arrived.
The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that the interview with Murray revealed "no red flag" indicating criminal activity or the cause of death.
And Murray's lawyers said in a statement that he helped police "identify the circumstance around the death ... and clarified some inconsistencies."
'CONCERNED ABOUT ADDICTION'
Stacy Brown, an author who co-wrote the book "Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask," told Reuters on Sunday that the singer's family aimed to have a funeral on Wednesday. His body would be buried at Neverland, the California ranch where Jackson lived a reclusive and fantasy-like life.
Brown also said a family source told him Jackson was injected with the drug Demerol at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, shortly before he died.
"They have been concerned about his addiction to medicines for years," Brown said. "It's been no family secret that they've been trying to get him help for his addiction."
Jackson's family was eager to take the spotlight off the singer's troubled last decade, in which he was tried and acquitted of child molestation and was vilified for eccentric behavior.
Jackson's father, Joe, on Saturday urged fans not to despair because the singer "will continue to live on in each and every one of you."
President Barack Obama wrote to Jackson's family expressing his condolences, White House adviser David Axelrod told NBC news television show "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
Fans continued to stream past Jackson's star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, leaving flowers and singing his best-known songs like "Thriller" and "Billie Jean."
In the Philippines, prisoners who rose to Internet fame two years ago with their exercise regime featuring "Thriller" donned their dancing shoes once more on Saturday to pay tribute to Jackson. [nMAN462684]
Back in Los Angeles, some of the biggest names in entertainment rushed to attend the BET Awards, modified at the last minute to make the gathering a tribute to Jackson. Host Jamie Foxx will be joined by top performers like Beyonce.
RIP Michael.. Thank u for ur music..

Tun your celphone into a wifi hotspot
Tired of tethering your laptop to your cell phone to connect to the internet when you have multiple devices that need to connect? I have the problem where I can't tether at all. The solution is here! You can turn your cell phone into a wireless hotspot with a few simple tools.

JoikuSpot Light - Connect to internet via Laptop using your celphone
JoikuSpot Light is an awesome piece of freeware which allows you to tether your mobile phone’s 3G capabilities and turn it into a wi-fi hotspot. Bascially, it gives you a dead-simple way to connect your laptop or pc to internet via cell phone.
Not only does this mean you’ve got a wi-fi hotspot in your pocket - this also means you have less hardware to lug around if you want to use your laptop and connect to internet through mobile. No more Bluetooth/Cable/USB dongles. Everything’s now 100% wireless.
Joikuspot currently runs on the Symbian platform, which means it caters for the higher end Nokias (N and E series) as well as a few of Samsung’s higher end phones. Of course, all phones supported share the same criteria which is that the device has to support data transfer (eg. 3G, EDGE, HSDPA, GPRS), and the phone has wi-fi capabilities (needed to broadcast the wi-fi you create).
It’s extremely simple to set up and easy to use. All you need to do is run the program on your phone and voila - instant hotspot. You can even hide the mobile app in the background on your phone as you go about your daily business.
Some of my favorite features include:
Encryption support – Joikuspot is incredibly secure and supports WEP including 128bit key generator for your security. This ensures that you maintain control over who uses the wifi generated from your phone, and to ensure your session is fully secure.
GPS Compatibility – If you feel generous enough to operate your mobile hotspot without a password and you want to share it with the world, Joikuspot allows you to sync up with your GPS (if your phone has one) and broadcast your location to the world on Google Maps.
Battery threshold – This feature shuts down Joikuspot when the battery level is too low. As you can imagine, intensive 3G AND Wifi usage will drain the battery extremely quickly. You can set it up so that it shuts off at a certain battery level so you never have to worry about empty phone batteries when you need to make a call.
Multiple connections – Joikuspot allows you to share your bandwidth with others or multiple devices at the same time so several people can share a single connection.
Auto reconnect – Works in the background to automatically reconnect every time a data connection is lost. This is crucial for a seamless experience.
Joikuspot comes in two different flavors. Joikuspot Light supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which is enough to handle most casual users covering basic browsing, web based email as well as Instant Messaging. It doesn’t however support some of the more enterprise and businesslike features like Outlook and corporate email.
Joikuspot Premium however supports ALL protocols allowing users to use Outlook, YouTube, Web radio, FTP, VPNs, Skype and other programs requiring specific protocols that practically covers everything anyone would ever want to do on the web.
The premium edition costs 25 Euros ($35) once off (which is incidentally still cheaper than paying for wireless laptop broadband), and also has special bulk licensing options for corporate use, but for most users (like me) – the free light edition is good enough.
This software has also been making waves in the international arena having recently been voted by Forum Nokia as 2008’s Star Developer, an award handed out to recognize the most unique and innovative applications developed for mobile phones based on the Symbian OS.
Of course before you use this to turn your cell phone as a wireless modem, ensure that you’re on an unlimited data plan because the data usage is understandably intense for this application. As for me, I wirelessly hooked up my iPod touch to my phone, so I’ve now got a device which gives me the internet experience of an iPhone 3G… at a third of the price.
